144 Episode 16 Duke Taiyama

"Who is it?"

Morgan Skysheep calls out to the demon who suddenly appears.

Yasushi Onken, on the other hand, put his hands in front of his chest and bowed with deliberate grace.

"My name is Oken, who is a great god, and gives you a punishment of punishment. Beware, the little rats that crawl out of Anagura."

Kakuno: "... the demon, how did you pass through the demon gate?"

"Huff, what does it mean for those who will travel to Yomoi Road now knowing that?"

At the moment that Kyumon Ouken answers, the Sydney Skysheep and the two Golden Ages move forward to cover Morgan.

The two immediately showed a slashing behaviour to the demon, but Morgan questioned them. There was a question that could not be overlooked.

Tunnel "I'm going to answer you, but I'll just answer that. Unless you know why Unu is here, it shouldn't be possible to ambush here!"

Morgan looked around.

The exit of the tunnel leads to the temple of Hoshin, which is remote from the sword mansion. To be more precise, it leads into a forest on the temple grounds.

There are many Holy Gods, Earth Mother Gods, War Gods, and other gods in the world, but basically these temples do not intervene in secular battles. It is unwritten law that secular powers do not touch the temple.

Even if the opponents of the swordsman attack Onigashima, they rarely imitate the temple. That is why the swordsman connected the emergency corridor to the shrine of Hoshin.

The capital city of Hiiragi Because people are restricted from entering and exiting by the temple, people who work in the temple, as well as those who work in the temple, rarely enter the area. Because of the distance to the sword house, chances of encountering an enemy by chance are equal to zero.

-Despite that, the demon in the robe was waiting for the party. It was a question that Morgan could never sit down.

To this question, Ouken laughs in a humorous way.

Tunnel "Isn't it possible to ambush here unless you know the existence of yourself, because I knew that I was here. It's a theory that even children can understand. "

"So I'm asking how I found the secret!"

"Because I asked, to those who know."

Say, Ouken picked up some small spherical objects from his bosom. A red streak like a thread runs on a white object about the size of a dumpling, and a big black spot emerges.

Festival The first thing I noticed was her identity, but she had a vomiting face.

Next, Sydney and Morgan notice it. My grandfather and grandson changed color almost simultaneously.

"Um, that's ...!"

"Yes, these are the eyes of the humans who served this temple. Even though they serve God, there is a degree of weakness in revealing their secrets if they miss one or two eyes. Even so, after all it is human, will the faithlessness be the same as 300 years ago? "

Oken then opened his mouth openly and threw his eyeball into his mouth.

It's not just what we have that we have thrown away. The number of eyes rolling out of the white robe was slightly over ten.

As Ouken chewed them, blood and mucus spilled out of the mouth of the demon, moistening his lips. Upon seeing it, she was not accustomed to the storm and a shrill scream came out of the children's mouth.

Morgan dyes her face with anger and takes a step forward.

Tenchu: "Is it a priest without a weapon, or a stranger! This Morgan Skysheep will give you a long time ago!"

"It is terrible that human beings call the heavens. That is the work of those who do not know the truth."

"No more questions and answers!

An angry scream rang from the back as Morgan, angry, tried to reveal his guise.

Concubine Looking back in a hurry, one of the young people is floating in the air. It was obvious at a woman's face distorted by fear that it was a movement that did not suit her intention.

A man in a white robe appears as if oozing out, behind the woman suspended in the air. It was in exactly the same manner as Oken, and the robe he wore was the same as Oken.

Morgan opens her mouth with remorse.

"Did one other person lie down?"

"Another? Huff, you're just trying to get into the enemy's home. Wouldn't it be natural to have as many people as possible?"

When Oken said so, a scream rang from yet another place. A baby less than a year old has been torn off from her mother's hand and is floating in the air. The frantic mother desperately reaches for her hand, but the baby is immediately lifted to a height beyond its reach.

Behind it is the appearance of a demon wearing a vest.

Concubine Another person is hanging in the air and screaming in another place.

One person in front, three behind. Morgan, who has confirmed the four demons, groans.

Russell: "… idiot. Where was this number lurking? Didn't it feel like a sign?"

Appearance "It's not surprising that you didn't even notice that the wreath we wore wasn't the only thing that could be wiped out of ourselves, even if it was a sacred thing. Did you get through? ''

Now, Oken looked at Morgan with a deliberate and clever attitude.

Destruction "What's the question and answer no longer needed? Don't hesitate to put your guise out and slash. If it's a rule, even if you kill a girl and a child, you'll cut the enemy. Let's say. "

Morgan bites back teeth as she realizes what she wants to say.

"Is it a hostage? To look down!"

"Is it a hostage? I guess I'm going to forgive my girl and child if I give her that gray head?"

"... what?"

Laughing, Morgan looks angry at her, and Oken has her lips shaped like a crescent.

Your sword "Huhuh! Our aim is to kill a woman and a child from the beginning. Kill a woman before it ends. Kill a child before it grows long. And after fifty years, the sword has become a flock of death. There's nowhere to fight from. "

"... The outdo meme. It seems that the shrine demon is just a pest."

"Kufu, the outer road. The outer road, the outer road. Yeah, yeah, it is certainly the outer road.

-You don't say, human.

"In any case, this tactic is something that nobody else could--invented by the founder of the sword! It just flees from the demon warriors, while killing girls and children and revealing the life of the demon race as a seed You humans have tried to eradicate our demons in this way! "

"Don't be playful! Is the first one doing such sneaky behavior?"

Humorous: Are you blurred or are you really lost? In any case, we don't forget our demons: humans are filthy traitors, ridiculous cowards. And our land What are the things that you, who were born after three hundred years of innocence, rob us of the tricks, and take the tricks !? "

Oken said, then, he took off his white robe. The body that appeared from the bottom of his robe was fine, but not because he had trained, but because he had turned his body to the limit.

Eyes: "It is unnecessary for those who have not seen the truth and cannot see it. Let's at least serve as myself!

When the word of the sword was issued, a sudden change occurred in the upper body of the demon who had been exposed.

Beak feathers began to grow. The birds and the black feathers, which seem to be the birds, cover the body of Aken in no time. Even the skeleton of the face and arms has changed, with wings growing on the face, wings on the arms, and sharp fingers on the fingers.

In a blink of an eye, she saw Oken turned into a half-beast half-demon figure, and muttered Morgan on alert.

"... a mutant mindset?"

Akira "Mutation is a human-like expression that doesn't know anything. Those who have the physical power of the mind are deeply connected to it alone. In other words, this figure is the blessing of anyone In the demons, people like me are called "shiko."

Those who derive power in the form of bodily morphs, rather than weapons, often exert powerful powers. The demons can exert their mighty power by lowering the demon themselves, but the lions can exercise power approaching it.

As a simple example, the rulers of Goyama manifest themselves almost exclusively in the body.

Taizan: My name is Oken. He is the son of a king who once occupied a corner of Gozan, and was assigned by His Majesty King Nakayama! Humans, come to my wings!

When Oken shouts like a roar, his arms swing, and an unnatural wind swirls like a tornado and attacks Morgan.

That signaled the beginning of the war.
