Chapter 334 Part 1

《What is the sin of a man-eating fiend?》
《What is the sin of a human?》
《What is the sin of those who wander in hunger?》
《What is the sin of those who are accused?》
《What is the sin of those who become beasts?》
《Even those who live in the sky cannot escape from the original sin》
《And we are the same》
《Let us be drunk with your blood》
That’s very unsettling.
But who’s my opponent?

There’s a lot of them!
All of the doujis that followed Fudo Myoo are gathered here!
And their ranks seem to have increased for some reason?
They’re Heavenly Generals here?
Which of them is which doesn’t matter anymore.
Blades of fire, wind, water, and so on were growing out of their Tokkoshos, Vajra Tridents, and Five-Pronged Spears.
It seems an extraordinary magical power is being poured into their weapons.
These guys are bad news, right?
They probably are.
「Dimension Mirror!」
The dragon that Anokuta-douji was riding unleashes some kind of Breath attack.
I repel it with my Dimension Mirror.
At the same time, everyone here started moving.
Our formation is built with high mobility.
I believe they shouldn’t be able to take us down so easily.
But these guys are still bad news, aren’t they?
「Rider-Horse Union!」
Should I try using weapon arts first?
Alright.
Let’s see how good of an opponent you are.
The Anokuta-douji alone is dangerous enough.
After all, it’s flying in the sky.
Although the shape is different, it’s essentially the same as a Dragon Knight.
No, should I say it’s like a Ryuudouji?
And its mouth keeps spewing out that Breath attack over and over again.
It’s also evaded about half of my attacks so far.
The fight on the ground seems to have become quite chaotic.
I want to join the battle with Aotsuki as soon as possible, but the Anokuta-douji is in the way.
No, it’s very strong!
It’s not that different from a dragon dancing in the sky!
I should probably use it…
Especially in ground battles, it’s Volff, Oma, and Kyokuya against seven of those doujis.
The situation only looks even because of my Summoned Monster’s mobility.
But that doesn’t mean it’s advantageous for us.
We need more fighting power.
And I didn’t want to use this if I could help it…
「Great Swordman’s Advent!」
My MP bar suddenly drops to less than half.
And when I looked at the ground from above, I saw three Heroic Spirits, or should I say, Great Swordsmen.
??? ???
Heroic Spirit ???

Heroic Spirit ???
??? ???
??? ???
Heroic Spirit ???
??? ???
One of them was the same Shugenja as last time.
He is wearing a tengu mask, so you can’t see his face.
However…
The other two are different from the ones that appeared last time.
One of them looks like a slender ronin.
All he has is a dagger hanging from one of his hands.
He seems completely lethargic.
His demeanor is almost ghost-like.
He is quiet, and yet carries a frightening aura.
The other has an old-fashioned appearance, as he’s wearing a hakama and an eboshi..
His hand carries a long sword with a pronounced curve.
His masculine looks are betrayed by his apparent youth, although his mustache is neatly trimmed.
Can we win with this?
I hope we do, or we’ll be in trouble!
I have to step up as well, right?
At the very least, I, Aotsuki, and Kokuyou need to be able to take care of the Anokuta-douji who is still flying around in front of me!
Obsidian ended up killing the Anokuta-douji.
Aotsuki’s charge hit the dragon’s belly.
It was definitely a critical hit.
And Obsidians’ beak was the thing that dealt the finishing blow.
A blow to the forehead.
That also seemed to be a critical hit.
What about the damage I dealt?
I added a blow with my Lion Sage’s Lance, but it seemed trivial.
In short, I’m the only one who hasn’t really accomplished much!
What’s the actual difficulty level of the doujis?
It’s hard to tell.
The doujis are putting up a pretty good fight against the three Heroic Spirits.
The disadvantage on our side was completely reversed by the appearance of the Heroic Spirits.
And yet, the doujis still persist.
The heroic spirits are also amazing.
They easily counter the doujis’ attacks.
The one with the Tengu mask is not just impressive with its numerous moves.
He’s effortlessly delivered a finishing blow.
The magically-imbued Tokkosho wielded by the enemy made no difference at all.
The dagger user continues to move his body as if it were a cloud of mist.
Like water flowing.
It seems like he’s chipping away at the doujis’ sides and the base of their necks.
There’s no waste in his movements.
It’s almost as if he wasn’t even there.
How about the long sword user?
This one continued to push forward with sheer strength.
I’m starting to feel almost sorry for the spear-wielding douji.
Attempting to block with his weapon or whatever else he tries to do accomplishes nothing.
The best defense is a good offense.
This Heroic Spirit embodies this idea.
His swordsmanship is rough in all the sense of the word.
He’s a living sword on the battlefield.
Volff, Oma, and Kyokuya are also doing splendidly.
With the addition of the Heroic Spirits, the numerical disadvantage is gone, and they’ve turned to the offensive.
And it seems like they’re dishing out several critical hits.
Volff is particularly amazing.
He’s constantly aiming for vital points.
And he doesn’t miss.
How about the coordination between the Heroic Spirits and my Summoned Monsters?
Looks like there’s no problem.
And yet, the doujis’ coordination is also splendid.
One of them is dedicated to the healing role…
The Eko-douji.
And another one of them is dedicated to the front line, acting as a wall…
The Eki-douji.
By the time the Heroic Spirits’ time ran out, there were only four doujis left.
And all of them had less than half of their HP left.
Still, even though their numbers had been reduced by half, there was no visible disruption in their cooperation.
However…
As soon as Aotsuki managed to take out the Eko-douji, things became completely one-sided.
Perhaps we’ve already won?
Maybe…
The last remaining Heavenly General, Seitaka-douji, finally succumbed to his bite wounds and was defeated.
Hmm.
My own performance is not standing out at all.
Oh well, we’ve won, so I guess it’s fine.
《What is reincarnation?》
《Do you seek liberation from that cycle?》
《Then give up hope》
《Abandon desire》
《Abandon your quest for enlightenment》
《Then, should there still be a meaning to being human…》
《We will be the same》
《Like you, we shall be nothing but prisoners of our delusions》
Yeah, yeah, whatever.
It’s over, right?
《N1W6 Map’s Area Portal cleared!》
《You have gained 1 Bonus Point(s). You currently have a total of 31 Bonus Point(s).》
《【Heat Resistance】 Level Up!》
《Summoned Monster『Kyokuya』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
Kyokuya was munching on the doujis’ remains until they disappeared.
He will truly eat anything.
What a glutton.
Kyokuya’s STR increased automatically upon leveling up.
I’ll choose VIT as his second stat increase.
Kyokuya Ortrhos Lv3 → Lv4 (↑1)

STR 20 (↑1)

《Predator Fusion activated! An empty Skill slot will be created. Please select a Skill.》
Whoa!
I should’ve expected this kind of Info screen.
I brace myself a little.
What about Kyokuya’s appearance?
Actually, there’s no significant changes.
So, what should I choose for his new empty slot?
There are five choices: Evade, Self Regeneration [Slight], Wind Attribute, Earth Attribute, and Water Attribute.
These are some strange choices.
But let’s go with Evade here.
「Gaaah!」
Whoa!
I knew it.
Kyokuya assumes a crouching position and his entire body starts to tremble.
Eyes narrowed, fangs exposed.
A low growl echoes.
I involuntarily brace myself.
「Gaaaah!」
「Higyaaa!」
His two heads growl separately.
After seemingly howling at each other and then to the sky, they’ve suddenly become quiet.
Kyokuya gets up from his crouching stance.
There’s something different about his physique.
Has he become a little thinner?
The position of his waist seems a little higher.
Both of his heads also seem to be a little thinner.
The biggest change is his tail.
It has taken the shape of a small snake.
