The Demon Sword Muramasa Unleashed / The Demise of the Demon God Toyotomi

At this moment, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was holding the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi, one of the three sacred treasures passed down through generations in Japan. It was a sacred object that the Emperor had to use when he ascended the throne, He Shi Bi in China.

The Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi is King's sword, and also a divine sword.

Its design resembles that of a Han or Tang dynasty sword, unlike later samurai swords. It is an ancient sword with two sharp edges, and served as the personal sword of the founding Emperor of the Yamato people.

According to legend, this sword is a divine sword taken from the body of the Yamata no Orochi.

In this world, this sword possesses unprecedented power.

The sheer power of the slash was already at the level of Noble Phantasm. Shirou was caught off guard and couldn't withstand it at all. In the blink of an eye, he was sent flying by the sword.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi closed in on Shirou, pointing a long spear at Shirou's heart.

At this moment, someone charged in from outside, wielding a long spear like a dragon emerging from its cave, with the imposing force of a tiger descending a mountain.

"Haaah!!! Don't even think about hurting my master! Demon God! The divine spear that Master Shirou personally forged for me will not be defeated by you!" The black-haired, heroic girl gripped the spear tightly with both hands, without making any unnecessary movements, but thrusting it straight at the monster with the strongest force.

Chapter 349 The Demon Blade Muramasa off his power

"Watch out, Mr. Shirou!" The generals inside jumped up and cried out in alarm.

However, those who approached were also cut down by a sword and sent flying by a spear, and could only watch helplessly as the spear tip of the demon god Toyotomi Hideyoshi landed on Shirou's heart.

Fortunately, Hachi-chan arrived just in time with a gust of wind and unleashed its strongest sprint.

Shirou, lying on the ground, seized the opportunity, Projection knife into his hand and stabbing it at Toyotomi Hideyoshi above.

"Hiss!!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi's black demon horse opened its mouth, revealing two rows of sharp teeth and wide, blood-red eyes. It was about to lower its head and bite Shirou in half at the waist, injuring his head.

Besieged on two sides, and with his horse injured, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had no time to dodge. He could only raise his precious spear and point it at the charging girl. Tonbokiri versus Nihon-go, the two famous spears, tip to tip, thrust straight at each other at the same angle.

The spear tips collided with a heavy clang, and the girl staggered back several steps before halting her momentum. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's tall black horse neighed in pain, its hooves unsteady, but it was forced to retreat.

Compared to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was riding on horseback and using his strength, the girl on the ground was already at a disadvantage, but she was still able to force the demon horse she was riding to retreat. The strength between the two was actually about equal, and the girl even had a slight advantage.

"Shirou, are you alright?" Hachi-chan asked the man behind Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

"Thanks, Hachi-chan, you've been a huge help." Shirou got up from the ground and said gratefully. He was just a hair's breadth away from being seriously injured; even if he didn't die, he would have been severely wounded.

Shirou opened his divine eyes and finally understood Toyotomi Hideyoshi's current state.

The demon god Toyotomi snorted and said, "Hmph, since Nobunaga can become the Oda Nobunaga, then so can I! That lord has already left this world, so the responsibility of the Demon King to destroy the world naturally falls into my hands."

The combination of the Demon King of the Desire Realm in Buddhism and the Demon Pillar; at this time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi also used the power of the Demon Pillar to unleash the power he would possess as Servant in the future. His current energy has long exceeded the scope of Servant; it is a combination of the Demon Pillar, the Demon King, and Servant. As long as he is within the territory he rules, he is the strongest.

Now, consumed by revenge and determined to destroy all the nobles and daimyo, he is essentially a weakened version of the 'beast'.

Shirou finally understood the witch's purpose in bringing him to this world. If she brought him here, it wasn't just a small matter of changing history; it meant that the demon god Toyotomi Hideyoshi would bring about the destruction of the world.

What he needed to deal with was not the monsters that had appeared due to the mutation, but the Demon Pillar, the Demon King, and the Heroic Servant with a physical body—a trinity of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

But now there is a problem: in order to defeat this world-destroying monster and repair the differences that have appeared in the world, the people of this world must kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

To this world, Shirou is ultimately an outsider. Even the white god, faced with this problem, can only try to transfer innocent people to another world to avoid their fate of death. He cannot forcibly change the history of this world.

But if a young girl is present, everything changes.

"Hmm?!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi was surprised that someone could withstand his attack and looked at Hachi-chan in astonishment.

"They've blocked it!" The military officers around them, who knew the girl's identity, also showed expressions of shock.

"Well done! That's my daughter! Hahaha!" General Honda shouted with laughter.

"What is your name?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi asked the girl seriously.

"Mikawa Province! Honda Tadakatsu reports!" The girl on the ground raised her Tonbokiri and thrust forward again. She didn't possess any amazing or dazzling skills, but rather she had great strength and had practiced hard to unleash it. However, great skill lies in simplicity, and she blocked every thrust from Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The great spear Nihon-go in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's hand clashed once more with the long spear Tonbokiri in the girl's hand, sparks flying. Fueled by resentment, the great spear, which seemed to Tonbokiri, making it an extremely dangerous and fierce battle.

Shirou, who had stood up in the back and was secretly tending to his injuries, nodded.

Only the three famous spears of the country can rival them. Although he created them, they were historically forged by blacksmiths from the Muramasa, but the specifics of who forged them are unknown.

In that era, swordsmiths weren't particularly valued, and even the identity of the most famous first Muramasa was shrouded in mystery. This person himself had a very close connection with Muramasa. After arriving in this world, he now seems to have taken over Muramasa's identity, so the weapons he forges have naturally gained the world's recognition.

"But with the added bonus of global recognition, the current 'Hachi-chan' is Honda Tadakatsu, known to later generations as the Zhang Fei of Wa, a warrior unparalleled throughout history, and the strongest general of the Sengoku period."

Historically, Honda Tadakatsu, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi even selected him as one of the Seven Spear Masters, making him one of the seven strongest spear masters of his time.

"Honda Heiha, you're quite good as female Warlord! In terms of pure strength, even Nobunaga might not have been your match when he was alive, but if you stand in my way, you'll die!!!"

"Bring it on! Who's afraid of you! Just because you're loud doesn't mean you're invincible! Do you know what those Demonic Beast you let in have done to the people of the city?!" the girl shouted angrily, raising her spear to meet them.

With that, the girl raised her spear again and charged towards the demon god Toyotomi, who was emanating black resentment. She fearlessly unleashed her strongest thrust, her heart filled with nothing but rage, not fear.

The girl had come from outside, witnessing human tragedies along the way and seeing monsters enter the city.

The soldiers guarding the city learned that a terrifying monster emanating black mist had brought demons into the city. The soldiers, armed with ordinary weapons, were no match for the monsters, and the surrounding civilians were being hunted and slaughtered indiscriminately, with even children being spared. The soldiers were already beyond containment of their rage.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Slaughter all the nobles, slaughter all the lords of the castles, cut off the Emperor's head! Tear out his heart! Let everyone see clearly what makes these self-righteous fools so different! You samurai! If you block my way, I will kill you all!" the demon god Toyotomi Hideyoshi roared viciously.

"Toyotomi Hideyoshi! Do you want the whole world to be buried with you?!" Ieyasu shouted angrily from inside the room.

"If this world is useless, then what use is it!" The demon god roared, his eyes glowing with a crimson light like burning flames.

The black giant, brimming with resentment, clashed repeatedly with the spear in the hands of the valiant girl, producing a deafening roar like a giant hammer smashing against a stone surface, and sparks flying everywhere.

After dozens of clashes, Toyotomi, the demon god enveloped in resentment and with inexhaustible magical power, showed no signs of fatigue. However, Hachi-chan's palms were numb and trembling uncontrollably from the intense vibrations.

If this continues, even without bleeding, her palms will be blistered and covered in bloody welts.

"Daughter! Your father is here to help you!" Seeing the situation was not good, General Honda raised his demon sword and was about to rush forward to fight Toyotomi Hideyoshi to the death.

The people behind him quickly grabbed him, saying, "Come back! Come back! Don't cause any more trouble. We're no match for that demon!"

The demon god Toyotomi slashed down with his sword and then smashed down with his spear, launching a continuous barrage of attacks with both hands. He forced the girl to retreat step by step, her hands becoming numb from the impact, and she was about to lose her grip on the spear.

At this moment, the girl gave herself away, pretending to be weak in the legs, staggering, and turning to run away.

Seizing the opportunity, the demon Toyotomi raised his spear with his right hand and thrust it straight at the girl's back, aiming directly at her heart.

"Drink!" At this moment, the girl quickly shifted her body, twisted her waist, and launched a counterattack, thrusting straight upwards!

With a soft thud, the Tonbokiri's spear blade pierced its target.

"Great! We succeeded!" Everyone in the room exclaimed in delight upon seeing this.

To this day, Toyotomi Hideyoshi has swept across the land with unparalleled might. He did encounter worthy opponents, even facing an attack from a powerful army wielding weapons capable of cutting down demons. But ultimately, it was those same people who perished. For Toyotomi Hideyoshi was no longer alone.

"What! A ghost!" Hachi-chan felt something was wrong, raised his head, and was even more shocked, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

Just as the invincible Tonbokiri was about to pierce Toyotomi Hideyoshi's body, a face appeared on Toyotomi Hideyoshi's golden armor. The face opened its mouth wide, and several twisted tentacles emerged from it, wrapping around the Tonbokiri's blade and holding it firmly in place.

"Destroy... destroy everything..." The face that emerged from the tentacles let out a chilling roar.

Amidst the black, resentful aura, one could vaguely discern a demon king's menacing mask lingering, emitting an eerie laugh that cried out, "Hehehe! Destroy everything!"

"Yes! Destroy everything!" At this moment, Toyotomi Hideyoshi let out a triumphant grin, and swept his spear horizontally, aiming straight for the girl's face.

Hachi-chan quickly turned his gun to defend himself, but was sent flying by the force of the impact.

Shirou, who was already on guard, rushed up behind the girl, pulled her into his arms, and asked with concern, "Are you alright, Hachi-chan?"

"It's alright! Master! I can still fight!" The girl, who had been hugged, blushed at the warmth of the body behind her, but quickly composed herself, stood up, raised her spear Tonbokiri, glared ahead, and shouted in response.

"The brat who just offended me! And the Matsudaira family inside! Ieyasu! They all must die!"

Like a madman, Toyotomi Hideyoshi wielded his weapon with tremendous force, the black resentment behind him soaring high, and a cold wind blowing around him, making the eyes of the Matsudaira family head and his retainers inside sting, forcing them to cover their heads and shrink into the corner in fear.

Under the influence of this overwhelming resentment, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's magical power seemed inexhaustible, as if it could never be depleted.

"This won't do; I have to get rid of him," Shirou thought to himself.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's massacre, though seemingly just killing a few people, actually had a huge impact on history.

Although everyone is said to be equal, Human History has been carried out by these power-hungry rulers and high-level masters, whether it is the class system of civilized society or the nomadic peoples who burn, kill, and plunder.

When the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be left to rot; a well-intentioned national policy may benefit generations to come. Good and bad policies both originate from their hands.

But a common man's anger cannot bring justice, nor can his good intentions uphold righteousness. Even the simplest act is subject to various constraints. Whether the world prospers or perishes, the lives of ordinary people are always filled with suffering.

The rule of these Lords and the social systems they employed were certainly not the optimal methods; they were merely choices that, given the circumstances at the time, seemed not so bad.

The world is still imperfect even with them, but without them, society would only become more chaotic and worse.

Indeed, the Earth will continue to turn even without the human race, but for human society, the loss of an ordinary citizen is entirely different from the loss of a great power leader.

If Toyotomi Hideyoshi were to wipe out all the nobles and warlords in this world, the impact would be far greater than anyone could imagine. This would be especially true for Wa Province, a country that had not undergone a revolution and still maintained its family traditions.

Because the descendants of these royal nobles still make up at least 70% of the cabinet members, members of parliament, and high-ranking officials in various regions in later generations.

Each lord and daimyo, after hundreds of years of branching out, although some have declined and some have separated and changed their surnames, still have at least several thousand, or even hundreds of thousands, of descendants. If the Matsudaira family were wiped out, it would mean that the country of Wa in this world would directly change to a new dynasty.

This is no longer just a problem for one country; the entire world may undergo earth-shattering changes.

Without the Edo period's policy of national isolation, would Japan have become stronger or weaker? As an island nation, its size was limited; in that era, rise inevitably required expansion. Would the Qing Dynasty have been doomed after the First Sino-Japanese War? Would it have fought with the Russian Empire Russia over Korea and Manchuria? Would it have attacked Pearl Harbor?

That's why Chaldea places such importance on Singularity. The appearance of each Singularity, regardless of its size, forces Gudako, their only Master, to risk her life.

The more high-ranking officials Toyotomi Hideyoshi kills in this world, the closer it gets to destruction. At that point, even if the true form of the white god came, it would be beyond saving.

Shirou had no choice but to act. Looking around, he saw a sword at the feet of the demon god Toyotomi, radiating a bloodthirsty desire—the very same demon sword he had forged earlier. It had fallen to the ground because the warriors had failed in their challenge to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

"Hachi-chan! Cover me!" Shirou shouted to the girl who was barely holding off the demon Toyotomi, and ran forward.

"Yes!" the girl replied.

"Boy! You dare underestimate me! Then die!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi shouted angrily when he saw Shirou charging straight at him. He felt it was a provocation.

Hachi-chan thrust out his spear, restraining the demon god Toyotomi's spear-wielding hand.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi could only use his left hand, which was holding the sword, to slash at Shirou's neck.

As the blade flashed down from above, Shirou instantly crouched down, picked up the demon sword that had fallen to the ground, gripped it with both hands, channeled his demonic power into his legs, and leaped high into the air. Raising the demon sword high in the air, he used all his strength to slash it down at Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The demon god Toyotomi Hideyoshi raised his sword to block, only to find that the demon sword falling from the sky had precisely struck the point where he couldn't exert force. At that moment, Shirou exerted force again, falling downwards. The advantage of wielding the sword with both hands over one hand was perfectly demonstrated.

The first demon Ichigo Hitofuri struck Toyotomi Hideyoshi, sending him flying and embedding himself in the wall. The blade was enveloped in white light, and it lost contact with the demon god Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

"No! This is my best way of fighting!" Shirou said with a light laugh, brandishing his blood-stained demon sword.

"Boy!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi roared angrily as he looked at his bleeding palm, his resentment surging to over five meters high.

Chapter 350 The Demise of the Demon God Toyotomi

The enraged demon god Toyotomi, black resentment coiled around his injured left hand, along with the golden arm guard, turning his entire left arm pitch black. The wound was healed, and at the same time, it became even stronger.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi spread his five fingers, summoned his second treasured sword, and gripped it in his hand. He pulled on the reins, and the raging black horse, baring its sharp teeth, charged towards Shirou. Using the momentum of the charge, Toyotomi swung the sword horizontally, aiming directly at the back of Shirou's neck, who had just landed from the air.

The next moment, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, Shirou raised his hands high and swung his demon sword upwards! He overtook the Dojigiri Yasutsuna flying. In the air, it spun 360 degrees before finally embedding itself halfway into the ground.

His current body is a parallel world counterpart that is developing towards the god of forging. His skill in weaponry has reached the pinnacle of humanity. Although he may not be the strongest swordsman, he is certainly one of the people who understands best how to utilize the advantages of weapons.

As an outsider, if he wants to stop this world from heading towards destruction, the natives of this world must deal with the monster, the demon god Toyotomi. Therefore, Shirou does not dare to use his powerful Noble Phantasm. However, he wants to pave the way for his 'disciple'.

The demon god Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eyes flashed red, his right arm muscles bulged, and a small mound rose from his body. The next moment, the Demon Pillar's face emerged from there, spitting out tentacles that intertwined together like giant whips, which lashed out at the girl.

The large spear in his right hand was used like a club, smashing directly towards the man's head.

"Master, be careful!" At this moment, Hachi-chan once again twirled his spear, raised the Tonbokiri, and thrust it straight at the target.

Knowing that the girl's strength should not be underestimated, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had no choice but to turn around and raise his spear in his right hand to defend.

Fueled by resentment, a black, demonic dragon writhed and brandished its claws on the tip of the Nihon-go.

However, the girl did not show any fearlessness. Instead, she was as brave as a martial god possessed by a spirit. Her hands gripped the Tonbokiri tightly without any tremor. She thrust out steadily and calmly, already showing the demeanor of a famous general.

The two spears clashed, like a mountain collapsing.

Shirou quickly dodged to the side, at which point Toyotomi Hideyoshi summoned his third treasured sword Mikazuki Munechika.

This time, Shirou met the attack head-on, and the blade of the demon sword could not withstand the pressure and cracked. However, the treasured sword in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's hand still slipped out of his grasp and was sent flying.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi summoned his fourth treasured sword and pressed it towards Shirou.

Shirou tossed aside the demon sword in his hand, flipped over, picked up a second demon sword from the ground, gripped it with both hands, and slashed again. He cut down four more swords. The blades shattered and were thrown away.

The third demonic sword sliced away five more.

When the fourth demon sword was broken, all of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's swords were also knocked away.

"How dare you!!!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi once again drew the ancient sword, the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi, which shone with the brilliance of a king and carried the weight of history. Although it was an ancient artifact created by humans and passed down from generation to generation, the reverence in the hearts of the people endowed this ancient sword with supreme power.
