Words:2118Update:22/06/26 10:46:26
Seiji felt like he was about to die.
More accurately, he felt like anyone could easily kill him right now. That was because he was in so much pain that he kept kneeling on the ground and coughing until his entire body felt weak.
Fortunately, his opponent didn't come over.
That sword strike seemed to have killed his opponent, or at the very least severely injured him … he was truly lucky.
If it wasn't for Gungo's surprise attack in midair, which gave Seiji enough time to counterattack, this battle would have been far more difficult. Seiji would have had to either load or use up all his items …
After a while, Seiji finally regained his composure. He slowly stood up and discovered that the mist around him had become much thicker. There was even a slight chill in the air.
Seiji remained on guard as he walked towards the shrine and opened the door.
He saw a handsome samurai kneeling within the shrine with his head lowered. Blood covered the ground, and everything was silent.
Seiji didn't feel any joy of victory when he saw this. He only remained silent.
Seiji walked up and slowly pulled out his sword from the samurai's chest. He felt that the "blood" on the sword was rather glaring.
This wasn't real blood. The samurai wasn't human. However, this wasn't a reason for him to feel relieved.
Seiji felt that he hadn't done anything wrong.
Nor had the samurai done anything wrong.
It was just … that was all he could do.
He suddenly felt a killing intent!
Even though he couldn't see it, he could sense that a terrifying existence with an incredibly strong killing intent was approaching.
'I'll die!' This was a warning from Seiji's survival instincts.
He had to escape or load. That was what he instantly decided.
Staying here and fighting would only result in death.
Was it "her"?
It seemed to be.
Seiji took a deep breath as he turned around and left the shrine.
Even if he left, he wanted to see "her" again. If possible, he wanted to try talking to her and obtain information.
The image of "her" naturally appeared in his mind. Perhaps it was a majestic female warrior, or perhaps it was a beautiful woman wearing a priest's costume or a witch's costume …
Yet, what he saw was completely unexpected.
"Koutaro-san …?"
Seiji was astonished to see the first "person" he saw after arriving here.
The charcoal seller's clothes were stained with blood, and his eyes were dark and bloodshot. Strange black patterns could be seen on his face, and he emitted an incomparably sharp killing intent!
"Why are you here?" Seiji asked, wondering why the other party had become like this.
Koutarou didn't respond.
He abruptly raised his hand, and a thick black and red mist instantly appeared, condensing into a giant claw that slammed down from the sky!
There was a loud bang, the ground shook, and ice and snow swirled in the air.
Seiji used "Bullet Time" to dodge the attack in time.
If he was hit, he would definitely turn into a meat patty!
What a powerful strength.
"Koutarou …" Although Seiji reflexively raised his sword, he truly didn't want to fight.
Seiji didn't hesitate to fight against the samurai or Kungo.
However, the person before him was different.
Koutarou was just a charcoal seller! He was an ordinary "person" who should not have any fighting power. Who or what turned him into this?
Seiji wanted to know why Seiji didn't want to attack Koutarou, who had originally been an ordinary "person".
However, the giant claws attacked again, and this time there were two of them!
Boom! Boom!!
"Stop! Koutarou!! " Seiji shouted after dodging the second wave of attacks. "Cough, cough … I don't want … cough … I don't want to fight you!"
"Harano …" Koutarou's expression twisted as if he was enduring tremendous pain. "Why …"
"What?"
"Why did you kill my mother and younger brother!!?"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom …
The giant claws continuously smashed down. Seiji did his best to dodge. He was in a sorry state.
"I … killed your mother and younger brother?"
"It's you! It's you!! You evil demon pretending to be a human!!! "The charcoal seller viciously roared as he unleashed his power!
He had exchanged his life for this power.
"I didn't!!" Seiji loudly shouted in response. "I'm not an evil demon, I'm just …"
He was only here to save people!
He was a real human, different from you undead, a human with flesh and blood!!
'I'm not an evil demon! You're the demons!! '
Seiji wanted to shout this out loud.
However, he couldn't.
No matter what the reason was, no matter what.
In the end, he was the one who brought destruction to this place.
That was why he was an evil demon, nothing else.
… Damn it.
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!
Seiji was screaming furiously in his heart.
Yet, he could only grit his teeth and remain silent.
'I didn't want this to happen either.
'I really didn't want this.
If I could protect this place without harming any "people", I would definitely do that.
But … there's no other way!!! '
Seiji's vision became hazy.
That was because tears began to well up in his eyes.
The next second, three or four giant claws simultaneously attacked him.
Seiji did his best to dodge. However, his blurry vision created a blind spot.
* Boom!!! *
He was sent flying by the fifth giant claw!
Seiji crashed through the shrine and came out from the other side!
"Cough … cough cough … cough cough cough cough … ahhh …"
Seiji's sword flew out of his hand, and his helmet fell to the ground. He violently coughed and spat out a large amount of blood as his body trembled.
"Harano … evil demon …" Koutarou walked over. His entire body was shrouded in black mist, and a faint shadow appeared behind him. It seemed like both a ghost and a human shadow.
"Cough cough … right now … you look like a ghost … Heehee …" Seiji had tears in his eyes as he looked at Koutarou. However, he mysteriously chuckled weakly.
He never expected that after defeating a powerful samurai, he would lose to an ordinary "person".
Although he was no longer an ordinary person.
But … it was always like this.
In the end, the hero who defeated the evilest villain would always be the most ordinary of people.
That was all there was to it.
It was an incredibly cliché story about a hero defeating an evil demon … that was all there was to it.
"Come … Koutarou …" Seiji wanted to get up, but was unable to do so. He could only sit down on the ground. "Kill me."
'Take away your victory.
'Without a doubt, you're a hero.
'But, this is the only time.
'Next time, I will …'
"Wahhhhhh!!!"
Koutarou roared furiously as if he were crying in extreme pain. He cast countless gigantic claws that covered the entire sky!!
Seiji calmly watched this scene.
He didn't know what he was feeling right now, nor did he want to know.
He only wanted to know if the coal seller was satisfied by doing this.
If the answer was yes, then he probably saved at least one person before he was destroyed.
Seiji looked at Koutarou's face again and smiled when he met Koutarou's gaze.
"Harano …" Koutarou looked at Seiji with incomparable hatred. However, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
All the gigantic claws simultaneously smashed down!!
Seiji prepared to activate [Bullet Time] one last time and then load.
However, [Bullet Time] didn't activate!?
Boom boom boom boom!
Black and red flames covered almost the entire ground, as if the entire world had been dyed red with blood.
"Kill … die …" Koutarou muttered in a low voice.
