Kamiya felt that Demon King Yamamoto Gorozaemon might like to watch cricket fights.
Moreover, one's own shikigami are not allowed to participate in the battle.
To be fair, why don't the shikigami count as part of my bravery!
Do you understand the value of the bond between partners? hateful!
But...if you can't, you can't.
After all, this battle is not a true fight to the death, but a competition and an experience.
The purpose is to defeat more Demon King Gozen, use your own combat performance, and obtain the best possible competition rewards from Yamamoto Gorozaemon.
Yamamoto Gorozaemon was the organizer of this sudden battle.
And Kamiya is a contestant.
In order to get rewards, you still have to follow other people's rules.
Hannya silently emerged from behind Kamiya River and released the mask's attachment state.
"You go back first."
Among them, the dog was the most obedient. He flicked his tail at his master and returned to the shikigami statue.
Neither Mary nor Prajna left immediately.
"I'm fine. It doesn't matter even if I lose."
Zashiki did not ring the bell to warn of bad omen, which means that even if the battle fails now, it will not affect Kamiyagawa's body in reality.
The worst case scenario is just another insignificant death of the undead in the other world.
Mary said nothing and looked at Kamiya River quietly.
There wasn't much expression on her face, and her eyes under the black veil contained the gentle paranoid love that only Kamiya could feel.
Stab——
Then, Mary dragged the machete and disappeared into the red mist.
Prajna also disappeared simultaneously.
Before returning to the statue, she looked at Kamiya with a slightly worried expression.
Since Inuning Pass, this is the first time that the onmyoji has faced a battle, and Hannya cannot really participate.
After seeing off the shikigami, Kamiyagawa pulled out Ichimonji from the scabbard.
The bright blade shone clearly in this foggy and strange space, reflecting the cold light and Kamiya's eyes that were slightly condensed and became deep.
"You won't really die if you fight here, so please let go - warrior, this is an unfair confrontation, fight as hard as you can, I'm looking forward to it."
Under the armor of Yamamoto Gorozaemon, a majestic, low and hollow voice came out.
After the words fell, the huge body of the Kumamoto Mountain Demon King slowly shrank, and a strong ghostly aura overflowed from his body, lingering around the seven princes.
This scene seemed familiar to Kamiya.
After staring for a while, he understood.
Yamamoto Gorozaemon is sharing the power of ghosts and gods with his seven lords!
"You are not allowed to possess me with Prajna, but Demon King Kumamoto is using his own power to strengthen his subordinates... Although I said in advance that this confrontation is unfair, is this too unfair?" Kamiya's expression changed slightly. Stiff, he cursed Yamamoto Gorozaemon, "You'd better really prepare a generous reward for me."
The fog slowly dispersed.
Yamamoto Gorozaemon shrank to human size.
And the figures of the seven emperors under him became more and more vivid and distinct, and the aura of strange stories lingered around them.
Buzz——
Kamiyagawa's cell phone vibrated at this moment.
[Encountering a strange interview with a strange story, seven people come to the throne. ]
[The foreign visit catalog has been updated. ]
[Name of the ghost story: Seven people in front of the emperor]
[Classification: Class B]
[Interview progress: 10%]
"Has it become a weird story?"
Because the battle hasn't officially started yet, Kamiya still has time to look at his phone.
He had previously judged that the seven people under Yamamoto Gorozaemon, including Chihiro Miyauchi, were all scoundrels.
But with the full blessing of Yamamoto Gorozaemon's ghostly power, they actually turned into a collective ghost story.
A strange story composed of several individuals.
This situation is relatively rare, but it does occur.
For example, Kamiyagawa's hearse group is a group of ghost stories composed of five people and a ghost car.
As for the seven people in front of the emperor.
Kamiyagawa has heard of this strange story. There is a legend spread in Kagawa Prefecture about an act that meets the gods.
According to legend, there was a farmer in Kagawa who was walking on the road with his cow. When he came to a crossroads, the cow suddenly stopped. The farmer felt something strange. He bent down and looked across from between the cow's legs, and saw seven human-shaped things marching in line.
It is said that if you encounter the seven people in front of you on the road, you will definitely die.
"The seven people in front of the emperor will be replaced by those who see them." Anyone who meets the seven people in front of the emperor will become one of them, and the individual who was originally the head of the emperor will be liberated.
From this perspective, the Seven-Man Gozen is a bit like a scapegoat who catches a double.
In addition, the original meaning of the word Yuqian is "omen" or "precursor".
It refers to the spiritual phenomena that appear before a major disaster or event occurs. As a result, the "Seven People" have evolved into an extremely frightening "object of fear" in some legends.
There is also a shrine in the Kagawa Prefecture area dedicated to the Seven Gozens.
In a sense, the Seven Gozen can also be regarded as a kind of Aragami.
However, what Kamiya encountered now should not belong to the category of Arakami.
The seven of them tied together can have a B-level evaluation, mainly because they are strengthened by the power of Yamamoto Gorozaemon.
"Class B...this is going to be difficult."
B-level ghost stories can definitely be defeated with the help of shikigami.
But if it's a one-on-one challenge...
After Kamiyagawa completed part of the thunder method and accepted the remaining arm of the ghost, his assessment of his own strength was——
Can cure most C-rank monsters on his own.
To exaggerate a little, that is to say that you are forcibly boasting that you are the first person below B level.
This battle looks very difficult based on the comparison of strength on paper.
"However, Yamamoto Gorozaemon only said that I can't use shikigami, but he didn't say that I won't be allowed to use props. Props, like weapons, are regarded as part of my personal strength... Now I can only try my best. , Count as many as you can kill, and try to get higher-level Demon King rewards as much as possible."
Kamiyagawa condensed Yang Lei with one hand and struck it against Ichimonji's blade.
The blazing bright yellow lightning twined and hovered over the blade. Arc sputtering, constantly making loud and dense explosions.
After adding thunder attribute to the main weapon, Kamiyagawa took out [Banshee·Chan] with his left hand.
The evil ghost tattoo with a red face and fangs on the right shoulder blade, hidden under the array of feathers, began to become distorted and vivid, ready to be revealed.
"It seems that both sides are ready." Demon King Kumamoto ordered, "Let's begin!"
The seven imperial guards around him showed their weapons simultaneously, stepped through the gray fog, and rushed over without saying a word!
Kamiyakawa stared at the charging enemy.
At the front is an ancient ronin samurai with a Tsukiyo head, holding a katana and wakizashi.
Not far behind the ronin samurai, there was a man wearing a black dome-topped jinkasa, wearing an abdominal roll and a crotch ball, his lower body was covered with grass, and he was holding a Hizen iron cannon.
He was dressed like a Tiepao Ashigaru.
And the iron cannon Ashigaru has now set its gun and aimed at Kamiya River.
"Can we still fight? Why are there people carrying fire guns? Despicable!"
Kamiyakawa cursed inwardly and raised the muzzle of his modified short-fire gun with his left hand.
Just as despicably pull the trigger.
Strike first!
My banshee is faster!
From the pitch-black muzzle, iron bullets attached with thunder roared out, erupting with a sharp explosion sound like the wail of a banshee.
Due to more diligent practice and daily use, Kamiyagawa's current short musket has good accuracy.
This shot was aimed at the iron gun ashigaru's position.
Boom!
The iron projectiles exploded with ferocious purple and white light, and the lightning was dazzling, roaring and tearing apart the vast gray space, as if they were going to swallow everything.
The churning and exploding thunder directly blocked the sprints of the following imperial guards.
After this shot was fired, the Tsukiyotou Ronin samurai who was the fastest was out of touch with his teammates.
Kamiyakawa didn't care at all how much damage his shot caused to the enemy. His movements were smooth and non-stop. Adjusting the muscles of the body with the breath of Ah Hum, he jumped out like a flexible black cat and rushed towards the Ronin warrior.
One word stands high.
At this moment, from the shoulder blade of his right arm, a translucent black ghost hand shrouded out, the scales were closely arranged and unfolded, and the black light and red halo flickered.
Cut down!
The hair attached to the ghost hand was slashed!
The blazing bright yellow Yang Lei jumped on the Ichimonji blade, and with the swing of the blade, it pulled out silky spider web-like lightning and sputtered in all directions.
The Ronin samurai did not expect that the Kamiya River would open and close so fast towards him, nor did he expect the ghost hand to appear.
He raised his body to block it.
The sharp blade whizzed down, carrying strong wind and thunder.
clang--
The deafening sound of gold and iron colliding with each other spread.
The sword in the Ronin samurai's hand broke with a sound, and the blade sliced his cheek and flew out.
Even the samurai himself was struck by the unreasonable force of Kamiyagawa's ghost hand and the subsequent roaring sun thunder. He was sent flying far away and fell to the ground.
The warrior groaned and stumbled up from the ground.
The feather fabric on his chest was torn in large pieces, and there was a long and narrow knife wound oozing blood on the exposed chest. At the same time, large areas of skin were burned by Yang Lei and became charred.
However, with the blessing of the devil's power, this level of injury was not enough to completely lose his fighting ability.
"It's amazing."
The samurai picked up the sword with both hands, gripped the handle tightly, looked directly at Kamiya, and his fighting spirit rose.
Kamiyagawa didn't respond to him, but just thought in his heart: "It's a pity to exit without a single blow."
After this fight, he felt confident.
The seven Gozens who have been blessed by the power of the Demon King, and the seven people tied together have indeed the strength of a B-level monster.
But one on one, he is no match for him.
"Spread out, maybe we can actually fight."
At this moment.
Buzz——
The roar of a chainsaw sounded, and a strong smell of engine oil could be smelled in the air.
The thunderstorm caused by the shot just now was dissipating, and several other imperial guards who were blocked came to attack.
The first person to rush out was a long-haired woman wearing a blood-stained white dress. She had a noble temperament but was also crazy.
She was barefoot and held a roaring chainsaw high in her hand.
Completely modern look.
Behind the woman in the chainsaw dress, there were several figures rushing out from the lingering power of the thunder.
"Who did Yamamoto Gorozaemon find to be the emperor?"
Kamiyagawa did not stay where he was.
His combat experience is very rich.
Speaking of situations, if the strength cannot completely crush the enemy, in a one-to-many situation, you must run.
The constant movement drives the enemy to follow and makes their formation become chaotic. In the gaps of chaos, you can find one-on-one opportunities like the one you just had with the Ronin Samurai, and defeat the enemies one by one.
…
boom!
Kamiyagawa, who was moving quickly, heard the sound of the gun.
It must have been the guy dressed as a Tiepao Ashigaru who fired.
His pupils shrank to the extreme. Within his sight, the flow of time seemed to be slowed down, and the speed of all moving objects slowed down extremely.
Kamiyagawa saw white "silk threads" hanging from the sky, softly resting on everything.
Among all the "time filaments", the pulling speed of one is obviously faster than the others.
Kamiyakawa looked more intently at the relatively fast-moving silk thread. What was caught by it was a speeding iron projectile.
That’s it!
Kamiya raised his right arm that was shrouded in ghost hands towards the direction where the iron bullets were flying.
Pong!
The firecrackers and iron bullets hit the illusory scales of the ghost hand, making a sound of metal and stone clashing.
Then, the iron bullet failed to penetrate the armor and shot to the side.
Kamiyagawa himself just shook his body slightly.
He kept moving, observing the situation around him with his peripheral vision.
Suddenly, he felt a strong wind carrying the smell of blood blowing from his side.
clang!
Kamiyagawa raised Ichimonji and blocked the blow at his side.
Perhaps because he had exhausted his energy in resisting the iron gun ashigaru's shot, an imperial officer had already walked in front of him at some point.
It was a man in a black suit.
Holding a hammer in one hand and a hatchet in the other.
The man in the suit was wary of the ferocious Yang Lei in Kamigawa Ichi. After his ax was blocked, he did not dare to attack at will again. The power of ghosts and gods belonging to the Demon King lingered around his body, and he slightly bent his body in a defensive posture.
He probably just wanted to slow down Kamiya's movement.
Behind the two of them, the ronin warrior was already chasing them.
There was also a fat brother who was wearing only a loincloth and was built like a sumo wrestler, coming from the other side.
He held a heavy iron rod in his hand, and the fat on his body trembled with every step he took.
He is simply a Tailang soldier.
After being blocked by the man in the suit, Kamiyagawa was vaguely surrounded by three people.
But this is an opportunity.
Among the seven people in front, the crazy woman wielding a chainsaw and a female ninja dressed like a Taimanin were not able to catch up in time.
Gender correct.
From inside Kamiya's wide cuffs, a small black shadow flew out.
That's a mouth.
The lips are bright red, with obvious female features.
The two attractive and soft red lips opened slightly, revealing two rows of blackened teeth, and a long and flexible tongue popped out.
A weird and sharp laugh came from this mouth:
"Hehe~haha~hehe~"
[The smiling teeth of a beautiful girl]
It has a charming control effect and is particularly effective on males and females!
The eyes of the three male Gozen who surrounded Kamiyagawa became blurry for a moment.
Look straight at the smiling teeth floating in the air.
Kamiya seized the opportunity and slashed at the nearest man in a suit.
The strange aura of the man in the suit jumped twice, and he woke up to the sound of wind and thunder whistling to his ears.
He hurriedly raised the short hammer in his hand to block it.
With a clang, the ghost hand waved a word with great force, sending the hammer flying away.
During the collision, there was not even a single gap on the bright and clear blade.
The dazzling thunder was so close that the man in the suit was shocked. Just as he was about to fight back with the short ax in his right hand, a sandalwood short musket was stabbed directly from his chest without anyone noticing.
At the muzzle, a bronze bayonet popped out.
It penetrated his jaw!
"After all, you are still seduced by Qianxi Nu."
boom!
Kamiyagawa's black eyes flashed and he pulled the trigger.
