"Then, Lord Beast King, could you tell me if you know a demon?"
That demon attacked our Nura Clan, claiming he was working for you. Could you please explain this?
Rihan Nura's seemingly friendly words concealed a hint of sharpness.
Once the other party admits it, regardless of...
Whether or not someone is plotting against him, he will not let the other party go.
However, as a leader, he would never listen to only one side's opinion.
Despite this, the "Beast King"
Even if it really happened, he still wanted to find out the truth, in case it was a deliberate frame-up by that devil, and someone else was wrongly accused.
If that were the case, he wouldn't have interfered in this personal feud between the monster and the Grim Reaper.
"You demon, your methods for creating subordinates are quite impressive. After crushing your Nura Clan, I will lead them to become the true King of Yokai."
The Beast King crouched down and said smugly.
Looking at the Beast King who had honestly confessed, Nura Rihan frowned inwardly.
It's not a lie! But that's even more wrong.
According to Shou Wushuo, that demon beast was quite cunning and scheming, and could even control and create a mountain wind at the level of a demon king.
How could a wicked and powerful intelligent person possibly choose to submit to such an upright person?
This sense of incongruity made Nura Rihan feel even more that there was something else going on behind the scenes.
However, now that the other party has admitted to it, Nura Rihan will not let them off easily.
"Since you've admitted it, then let's have a showdown."
Nura Rihan's smile grew increasingly sinister.
The sword, Mimi, is drawn from its sheath.
Clang
"Since I've run into you alone, I'll deal with you first today!"
"Lion Slashes Meteor Shower!"
The sky was filled with claw shadows that enveloped Nura Rihan, who had just drawn his sword.
Not far away, Oni Yancheng ran to Higashi Joe's side and whispered, "Captain, why don't we join forces and take down this lion monster? His strength is no less than yours."
"What's the rush? Well... Nura Rihan isn't so easily defeated."
"Ah, wait, that's it!"
Suddenly, Gui Yancheng's eyes widened.
He had initially thought that Rihan Nura, enveloped by the claw shadows, would be torn to shreds before he could even react, but instead, Rihan Nura, torn into several pieces, gradually became ethereal and finally vanished into thin air.
A cynical voice quietly sounded behind the Beast King.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
The Beast King was startled and hurriedly turned around to see a flash of light coming down. He had no choice but to raise his hand to block it.
With a tearing sound, a wound appeared on his arm.
Just as Aizen had predicted, Rihan Nura, who had struck the Beast King's arm, failed to sever the arm, let alone cut it off completely. He couldn't even manage to cut deep enough to expose the bone, as the bone itself blocked the blow; he only managed to inflict a superficial wound.
"Die!"
Feeling the pain, the Beast King roared and retaliated with a kick.
Unfortunately, the Beastmaster missed again this time.
Rihan Nura reappeared behind him, his voice ethereal and uncertain as he said, "A flower in a mirror, a moon in the water—elusive and untouchable, that is the true nature of Nurarihyon."
"What utter nonsense! Just die, die, die!"
Watching the Beast King's attacks grow increasingly frenzied, Nura Rihan, who had disappeared several times, stood quietly before the Beast King, whose sanity was gradually fading, while the Beast King seemed lost in confusion.
Where is everyone? Why can't I see a single person now! Nura Rihan sighed softly, his gaze gradually turning cold.
"You can't see it, if you want to."
"No matter who it is, if they encounter something too powerful for them, they will be too afraid to even try to perceive it, and thus become unable to recognize it, even if they see it."
"you"
"Too weak!"
Chapter 270 The Abandoned Beast King, Devimon Appears 33/39
A clear mirror and still water.
When Nura Rihan reappeared before the Beast King, the Beast King could no longer see him.
However, Aizen's expression remained somewhat strange.
The style of this dialogue suggests that he's giving a lecture during a battle.
Who knew Nura Rihan was such a boastful and sharing jerk?
Too, too weak
Although he couldn't see it, the Beast King was still able to hear it, and for a moment he found it hard to believe.
The next second, he roared in a fit of rage, "It's just a smokescreen! Stop talking nonsense!"
Having lost its sense of direction, the Beast King could only rely on its senses to unleash attacks in all directions, turning the sand and gravel on the ground into dust one after another, but it failed to hit the seemingly elusive Nurarihyon.
With a tearing sound, seeing this, Gui Yancheng, standing beside Dong Zhang, looked somewhat grave: "What kind of dangerous ability is this, to be able to manipulate this guy so easily?"
"It's probably a racial talent of monsters, but the strength of the ability still depends on the user."
"Captain, can you beat him?"
""
Dong Zhang thought about it seriously for a while, and then hesitated before saying, "It's hard to say. Judging from the strength he's shown so far, if I were to solve the mystery, my chances of winning would be quite good."
However, the opponent definitely has something up their sleeve, so even if the restrictions are lifted, I can't say I'm 100% guaranteed to win."
When he said this, Higashi Joe was very serious.
This wasn't acting or anything like that; it was simply his genuine feeling.
Gui Yancheng nodded gravely, seemingly having suffered a blow to his spirit.
He realized that there were such powerful beings in the world. As the battle between the Beast King and Nura Rihan intensified, he became even more aware that none of them were weaker than him, which made him feel that his previous arrogance was a complete joke.
Perhaps he is just like that... frog in a well.
Seemingly having had enough fun, Nura Rihan's Miyagi-maru was tinged with a dark blue flame, his gaze indifferent yet chilling.
"It's over, Mirror Still Water Fire Slash."
With a soft thud, the Beast King, whose body was already covered in multiple wounds, was slashed open again, this time with a deep cut into his chest.
The blood that spilled out was a result of it being engulfed and contained by flames.
The beast king, its body engulfed in flames, collapsed to its knees with a thud, roaring in agony from the intense pain.
"Aaaaaah!!!!!"
"I'm sorry, but this outcome was already decided when you attacked the Nura Clan."
Rihan Nura, carrying the Mimi-kirimaru, once again donned that unrestrained and carefree smile.
In his view, the beast king was doomed.
While yokai like Nurarihyon do lack lethality, they have another ability that can compensate for this deficiency to some extent: their flames.
The temperature of this flame is acceptable, and its physical destructive power is not much stronger than that of ordinary fire, but it possesses a bone-corrosive quality. It is more like sulfuric acid than a flame.
However, this tactic also means that unless the opponent is too weak, they will not be instantly killed.
So, "Hmph, what a useless piece of trash."
A mocking and dissatisfied voice came from afar, and suddenly several birds descended from the sky and flew toward the beast king, who was enveloped in flames.
"What is that?"
Nura was slightly taken aback, then his expression changed slightly as he realized he had missed the best opportunity to intercept. "Oh no!"
*Pfft!* The Beast King's consciousness blurred slightly as the black object was forcibly injected into his body. The reduction in physical pain was replaced by even greater mental anguish.
He looked up, his vision blurred, and saw that familiar figure. Suddenly, he understood something.
He was nothing but a pawn! When he was unwilling to serve Aizen, that... dangerous man was still willing to help him become a long-lived demon; this was definitely not out of kindness.
Perhaps, that man simply thought he wasn't even capable enough to be a sacrificial pawn or bait.
It's laughable that he's still here, indulging in daydreams of ruling a region.
The Beast King, having understood all this, was filled with resentment.
His ambition, his future, has not yet unfolded! Even though he has already reached the level of a demon, he is still unable to resist the erosion of the black gears.
With so many black gears around him, he could only maintain that state for a few seconds before it reached his limit.
In the end, all he could do was roar at the sky to vent his resentment.
"Aaaaaah!!! I hate it!!!"
Boom! A powerful aura erupted, instantly scattering the flames into sparks that dissipated.
Looking at the Beast King, whose eyes were white and whose body was dark, Nura Rihan, who was not far away, had a solemn expression.
"I've become stronger."
"It looks like this guy has been controlled too."
"As expected, that demon did not submit to him; he was merely a puppet pawn pushed to the forefront."
Looking up at the sinister black figure in the sky, Nura Rihan felt that things were getting increasingly complicated.
Without much hesitation, he extended an invitation to Dong Zhang and the other man, saying, "Gentlemen, things have clearly exceeded our expectations."
The one in the sky... is a demon from the West, but no one knows the truth of the matter, and it's hard to predict what dangers might follow. Perhaps we should join forces for now?
"demon"
Slightly dizzy, Oni Yancheng hadn't quite figured out what was going on, but his keen senses as a captain-level Grim Reaper made him serious.
However, as the person in charge at the moment, he could only turn his gaze to Joe Higashi: "Captain, what do we do?"
"If things get complicated, we can apply for the lifting of the restrictions if necessary."
His concise and to-the-point words clearly demonstrated Higashijo's attitude.
The Grim Reapers have intervened in this matter! Having secured allies, Nura Rihan felt somewhat relieved. Looking at the Devimon in the sky, he said in a deep voice, "Devil, what exactly is your purpose? This lion is merely a puppet you've pushed to the forefront; you're just using him."
The Devimon, looking down at the crowd, chuckled evilly, showing no intention of landing.
Are you kidding me? Doesn't he even have any self-awareness about his own abilities?
The people present had a misconception that this demon's strength was insignificant.
It's not strong, but it's certainly not weak.
In reality, if he dared to go down, anyone could kill him instantly. For the sake of his life, he felt it was essential to maintain a safe distance.
After all, Death can "fly".
的.
"Heh heh heh, instead of asking me this question, you should be thinking about how to defeat this piece of trash."
"Kill them!"
At the command, the Beastmaster immediately...
Launched.
The beast king, devoid of any reason, shrank rapidly, transforming into the appearance of a blond youth, though his eyes remained lifeless.
This is one of the Beast King's abilities when he transforms into a monster: anthropomorphism! Anthropomorphism isn't some kind of disguise; on the contrary, it's a very powerful ability for a monster of such a large size.
