101 – The Night of the Oni – Oni (5)
From noble mtl dot com
While Yujin Do opened a tunnel in the chests of the oni, Shigure did her best as well.
As planned, Shigure protects Tagame from the monsters and at the same time finds the members of the Red Tail who have been isolated in various places and brings them safely inside the Tokyo Dome.
By the way, among the people brought there were also ordinary people who were not members of the Red Tail.
I didn’t bring them in for human reasons, such as simply not being able to leave an injured person behind.
Shigure clearly remembered that Doujin had broken up with her and asked her to bring as many people as possible.
‘I said it would be easier to turn the tables that way.’
Shigure faithfully followed Doujin’s orders, and Doujin’s plan was certainly not wrong.
Because she
She could assert.
It’s not that they were careless, they just didn’t see the protruding stone in a desperate situation.
“What was that situation just a moment ago?”
Ruyas, one of the head priests of the Sabbath Salvation Society, muttered his worries with a serious face.
Ruyas’ ability wasn’t powerful, but it was useful.
The ability to manipulate a corpse like a puppet and collect information from many distant places in real time. This was a very good ability for information gathering.
For this reason, this ability was Ruyas’ pride.
But when he first saw the scene a little while ago, Lou Yasu unwittingly doubted his abilities.
The scene sent by the corpse doll was that absurd.
“How on earth could such a scene be created?”
The Sabbath Salvation Society, they released the seals of the Great Yokai that had been sealed in various parts of Japan for a grand succession.
All they did was break the seal, and they didn’t impose a ban on the youkai, so I didn’t expect them to move completely according to their will.
But even considering him, the situation just before was out of my understanding.
‘Isn’t it normal to go wild if you’ve been sealed for hundreds of years? Why are they all gathered there talking together?’
Even the target was a group of oni led by Shuten-douji, one of the three great youkai that he released.
Because they are a particularly belligerent group of youkai, I thought that they would surely follow their expectations and baptize them with the lives of foolish unbelievers, but that’s it……
‘How? By what means?’
Whoa……
Ruyas, who had been tormented by the question for a while, sighed.
It is still questionable what the hell he did.
However, things have already happened.
Then it was necessary to focus on the result, not the process.
‘Originally, all the oni who should have rampaged in several cities ended up being tied up in one place in Tokyo Dome.’
The culprit was easily identified.
The guy who stood arrogantly in the center of the stage holding a dagger.
It must have been that guy was using the habits of the monsters they didn’t know about and sabotaged the plan.
‘What the hell is that guy? Could it be that he noticed about the great world? Come to think of it, a while ago, apparently, there was a report that lightning suddenly flashed from the Daitengu side as well, and the movement slowed down…… ’
Ruyas scratched his head nervously.
He didn’t know anything about the enemy, so he couldn’t draw any conclusions.
‘Why did this change happen at the moment when everything should have ended successfully? … !’
Feeling impatience, Ruyas unknowingly bit his lip.
Then he suddenly came to his senses and quickly shook his head.
What appeared before him now was suffering.
In other words, it is an ordeal bestowed by the gods.
Then he should know how to embrace and accept hardships instead of resenting them.
Because that would be God’s will and the way to help the headmaster.
“Whoa…… “
Ruyas, who took a deep breath and calmed himself, looked at the situation once again.
He tried to find a solution without getting caught up in the situation.
Then he remembered the last thing the doll he had sent to Tokyo Dome showed him.
Who is that scoundrel who hides his face with a mask on the subject of rebelling against God’s will?
Why do the oni just watch this situation and not leave?
What is the reason that the seeds of unrest that you have sowed among people have been calming down during your coming?
The moment Luyas at the time took a step forward with such anger and doubts.
-Human No, it’s nothing to call him a human.
A chilly yet overbearing voice stopped him.
-Don’t look at the father of this body with such dirty eyes.
The last thing that appeared in front of him as he stepped back in shock was a fox mask, which is common in the market.
‘Yes, it was a fox mask…… ‘
Ruyas thought a little more, feeling like he had caught a hint.
It was nothing more than a simple mask if you just passed it on.
But once he started to get on his nerves, the fox mask continued to get on his nerves like a thorn in his neck.
The appearance of people who have become quiet.
A girl who ran around among those people.
The fox mask the girl was wearing.
Those eyes that caught my eye at the end.
‘No way…… !’
Bulkkeok-!
With the feeling that everything that had been scattered was connected and a hidden answer was revealed, Ruyas unknowingly jumped out of his seat and stood up.
‘Yes, then everything makes sense. Everything, even what our society has not been able to find so far.’
Flinching-
‘Wait? So, do you mean they also know about our grand plan? In other words, the disturbance of the oni is to thwart the plan?’
Uh-
Ruyas was enraged at the unexpected appearance of the unbeliever, then calmed down again.
And I walked around the room like a madman, I kept thinking, and then I made a decision.
‘I have to be prepared for the risk and the fact that the chess pieces will decrease a little, but I can’t help it.’
After making up his mind, Ruyas sat down and closed his eyes again.
And his consciousness, which stretched out into the distance, arrived in a city filled with an eerie silence unlike any other.
◎ ◎ ◎
The strongest-!!!
Ooh! Right-! Right-!
Invincible-!!!
Ooh! Right-! Right-!
Two iron rods collide violently, making a sound like a meteorite falling.
Putting that huge sound in the middle, people and ghosts shouted with all their might.
Originally, it was impossible to have an equal cheering match with an oni against a person who is inferior in strength and numbers.
However, Yujin Do made it possible.
I didn’t do anything grandiose.
It was just Shigure’s sound-enhancing talisman attached to people’s necks.
Do Yoo-jin, who planned and created all the boards like that, was now touching various buttons in a room filled with complicated machines and various screens.
‘Thanks to the emergency power, the lights are on and the equipment is alive. There should be no problem with operation.’
Now is a moment of crisis.
The proof was that Do Yoo-jin, who usually hates to go out in front, made a decision after sighing and came out like this.
To finish this job, Yujin Do also had to move actively.
Clap-
But still, Do Yoo-jin absolutely wanted to avoid the main character role that draws people’s attention.
It wasn’t that she lied to Rumi, but that was the reason why Jin Dou handed her the opponent of Shu Ten Doji to her.
Click-
And what Yujin Do is doing now is a kind of hardening work to make Rumi the main character of this game.
‘Well, it works.’
She was a little worried, but perhaps out of consideration for part-time workers, each button had a simple explanation written on it, so she was able to operate it somehow.
‘Then the stage preparations are over.’
Do Yoo-jin, who finished her work, went outside.
Then, on the way, I could see the situation of Tokyo Dome playing on a small screen installed in the hallway.
‘Now people will think he solved the situation here.’
Satisfied with that, Yujin Do looked at the screen.
“Ahhh!”
On the screen, Rumi was swinging her bat like a storm, driving her Shuten-douji.
Oni’s blood filled the stage.
She drank so much that you might as well think she was intoxicated.
Even the countless people cheering for the sky to go behind her back.
It is said that the place where the fight is taking place is on top of her board that Doujin made for her, but in fact, that was an impossible situation originally.
The wall between Rumi Kagura and Shuten-douji was that huge.
To the extent that we should rather call it a mountain rather than a wall.
The reason for this difference was simple.
Kwaaang-!
It’s because, just as Rumi went up, Shuten Doji came down.
‘It’s comfortable because all youkai from Japan have so consistent weaknesses.’
In Japanese mythology, there is a yōkai named Yamata no Orochi.
The dragon, which is said to have eight tails and eight heads, boasted tremendous majesty based on its overwhelming power.
However, in the end, it is said that the god Susanoo drank alcohol to the point of getting drunk and took advantage of the opportunity to die.
That was the method Yujin Do used this time.
‘Well, it wasn’t alcohol that I was cheating on, but rather the glass.’
When the level rises, the [Shop] Has three functions: Crafting, Synthesis, and Modification.
Do Yujin used the remodeling function to make all the sake poured into the glass into onigoroshi, a spirit-killing sake.
‘Thanks to all the things I’ve done, the points I’ve accumulated have gone to waste.’
I never thought that the amount of points used for remodeling would be that large. It was an unexpected variable.
Remembering that time, Yujin Do shuddered once and looked at the screen again.
Oni are a race that can only be described as fighters.
The more they smell blood and get drunk, the more their power increases without knowing the end.
However, the oni who drank onigoroshi are the opposite. Even if they drink alcohol and smell blood, their strength will not rise.
No, on the contrary, it becomes a catalyst for the slumbering onigoroshi in the body to gradually rampage, making it weaker.
Little, like drunkenness.
‘But how can you drink so much of it and still have that strength? … It’s a monster after all.’
Doujin smiled and stuck out his tongue when he saw Shuten-douji swinging the bat.

Then he moved his eyes slightly.
‘Then the key to victory is with him…… Is it possible?’
The last time I saw it, a black light shimmered in Rumi’s eyes.
So it seems like there is a possibility, but he hasn’t shown any signs of it yet.
‘Are you saying we need something a little more catalyst?’
I was lost in thought as I ran my hand over the part that Doujin had healed with the potion and cut with the dagger earlier.
“Huh?”
At that time, Doujin felt a strange stir in her chest and stopped her steps.
This wasn’t just a whim.
Someone was calling Dou-jin through the string that tightly tied her image.
Dou-jin, who closed her eyes and sensed who was sending the signal, gave out a puzzled voice without realizing it.
“Yuri, not Eugene?”
