Ashiya Dōman Is Slashed Down

Illya sensed something was wrong and shouted, "Shirou, come back! Close combat is too dangerous!"

"Roar!" The Great White Bear immediately stopped its massive paw strike, exhaling an extremely cold breath as it swept it towards Yagyu Dan no Kami.

"Hmph! Too slow." Yagyu Dan no Kami -Shinkage-ryu technique was extremely exquisite. He perfectly dodged the Great White Bear's sweeping breath by moving parallel to the breath and at a distance of only a few centimeters. He changed the direction of his sword from a slash to a straight thrust, breaking through the ice and thrusting straight at the Great White Bear.

"Roar!!!" The polar bear let out a painful roar.

Yagyu Dan no Kami's sword was unstoppable and incredibly fast. Although human physical abilities are inferior to those of wild beasts, his sword-wielding speed surpassed that of the Great White Bear by a whole level. He easily pierced a hole in the Great White Bear's body, and blood spurted out.

"Shirou! Let me go!!!" Illya shouted angrily, her bow emitting a chilling aura as she fired at Yagyu Dan no Kami.

The enormous ice pillar, fueled by the chilling air emanating from the arrow, crashed down on the enemy like a mountain.

Yagyu Dan no Kami could only sheathe his sword, sidestep, and leap away to avoid the suppression of the frozen mountain.

Fortunately, it is now in its elven form; otherwise, such a large wound would have been fatal. However, even as an elf, it is now unable to move.

"Shirou, it's alright. You should go back and rest." Illya-chan summoned the Great White Bear back into the world of elves.

If this curse succeeds, countless worlds will be destroyed as a result.

Illya nocked her bow and arrows and fired a series of icy arrows, trying to freeze him.

"Too slow!" Yagyu Dan no Kami appeared in front of Illya as if by teleportation, and slashed down with his sword.

The old man before me, when he held the sword, was a rational being, devoid of any personal emotion, viewing everything with an icy Oni of Reason. He acted in the most reasonable way, without making any unnecessary movements, following the laws of nature.

Therefore, his sword moved like ripples on water, like the moon reflected in the water, so ordinary attacks could not hit him at all.

Although Illya surpasses Yagyu Dan no Kami in terms of magical power, attack range, and versatility, she is still immature as Lesser Grail with a special focus and a fusion of three goddesses. At least in terms of combat experience, she is far inferior to the cunning and experienced Yagyu.

All the arrows were dodged by the opponent, and Yagyu found an opening and delivered a fatal blow.

"Watch out!" Kiyohime lunged forward, shielding Illya from the blow with her body. Yagyu Dan no Kami, not wanting to kill Kiyohime now, quickly sheathed his sword, but still managed to slash a large gash across her left arm.

"Ugh!" Kiyohime cried out in anguish.

"Kiyohime!" Illya exclaimed in surprise.

Yagyu Dan no Kami coldly observed everything. This unexpected turn of events couldn't disturb his icy composure. He swung his sword again at Illya, thinking, 'This time I won't make a mistake!'

Right at this moment!

Thunder! Ice spikes! Storm! Flames! All struck Yagyu Dan no Kami's back, smashing several craters into the ground.

"Let's go!" The dancer in the blue robe sensed the danger at the last moment and shouted to the girl while continuously releasing the talismans in her hand towards Yagyu Dan no Kami.

"Thank you, Tamamo-chan!" Illya quickly picked up Kiyohime and jumped outside.

Taking advantage of the smoke obscuring Yagyu Dan no Kami's eyes, the three women turned and quickly left.

Within the smoke, Yagyu Dan no Kami unleashed a gust of sword wind, sweeping away the dust and smoke. Aside from his clothes being a little dirty, he was unharmed and was about to give chase.

"Wait." At this moment, the sorcerer stopped him telepathically.

"Stop chasing. Bring the Princess's blood; the human sacrifice can still be performed," the sorcerer ordered.

"I understand." Yagyu Dan no Kami gazed in the direction the girl had fled, sheathed his sword, and coldly replied. They weren't his initial target, so whether he let them go or not was irrelevant.

On the other side, Shirou and his companions, who were heading towards the city, only needed to cross the last mountain to reach Tsuchi-ki Castle. At that moment, they also saw the blood moon in the sky.

"We just had breakfast, and it's already evening?" Musashi said, looking seriously at the suddenly darkening sky. "We haven't even had lunch yet!"

"Stop fooling around now. Even if you're craving something, at least think about priorities. This is the Blood Moon that appears when the Heroic Spirit Swordmaster appears, and that awful aura ahead is getting stronger. Something must have happened over at Tsuchi-ki Castle," Shirou said, gazing towards the hilltop.

"Are you sure it's okay for Afeng and Tsuke to be in the village right now?" Gudako asked.

Shirou said, "Without them, we can fight without restraint. Besides, the village is the safest place. I reinforced the barrier again, so even Heroic Spirit Swordmaster would have a hard time getting in. As long as they aren't discovered by the Demonic Beast horde, they'll be safe. With the Heroic Spirit Swordmaster in front and Yamata no Orochi behind, I really can't bring the two of them with me."

"Really? That's great! Let's go quickly!" Gudako smiled with relief.

"Yeah, that's true. Let's hurry up and restore this world to normal, and also strive for a healthy environment for Afeng and Tanabe to grow up in." Shirou said, pulling a sword from his backpack.

"Is this the new sword that you forged all night last night, Shirou?" Musashi leaned over and asked curiously.

"Yes, because I've been cutting down quite a few strange things lately, I forged this sword using new materials," Shirou said.

"Have you tried it out? Shirou, you seem quite satisfied. Is it super powerful?" Musashi asked curiously.

"It's a good sword, but I haven't tried it out," Shirou nodded.

"Hey!! How about compared to my Myojin-giri? Try cutting it! If you don't want to, Shirou, then leave it to me." Musashi suggested eagerly. She already had a priceless Myojin-giri, so taking another one wouldn't be a big deal.

Shirou shook his head and refused Musashi's offer, saying, "No, it's not the right time yet. This time, it's best to keep this sword unsheathed if possible."

"Eh, how come it's like this?" Musashi complained regretfully, his curiosity unsatisfied.

"Ah, the monster we're supposed to slay has appeared." Musashi said with Myojin-giri -giri.

"Let's finish this quickly! Let's charge straight into the city!" Shirou Projection a series of flying swords behind him, aimed them at the bird monster flying in from the sky, and slashed off its head.

By the time the bird monster's body fell to the ground from the sky, the three of them had already run past, leaving only a long shadow behind.

However, even more monsters await them ahead.

At this time, various tragedies were happening in the towns near the Enri-eido Castle because of Amakusa Shirou's reincarnation in the Demon Realm.

This is a well-known later account, stating that he was not killed, but instead fell into hell, where he gained immense power and vowed to return to earth in the next life to seek revenge.

At this time, the closer to the Demon City, the more monsters there were in the town. The people in the surrounding area were all transformed into monsters.

The warriors transformed into giants wielding swords, some commoners into ferocious beasts on all fours, and even ordinary people became winged bird monsters flying in the air, all opening their mouths and roaring.

In the central town, those who hadn't been turned into monsters huddled together, and under the protection of samurai, they hurried to escape. The samurai still had ways to hold off ordinary monsters.

But then, with a bang, a warrior was sent flying, and a red demon with a single horn, at least three meters tall, and an eight-headed serpent monster emerged.

"Leave the giant snake and the demon here to me! I'm counting on you guys up ahead!" Shirou shouted as he ran towards the area, Projection giant golden axes with both hands.

"Okay! Gudako, keep up with me!" Musashi agreed without hesitation and ran forward.

"I understand," Gudako replied.

Musashi, carrying Gudako, charged towards the Black Demon Castle ahead. Now was a race against time; only by dealing with it sooner could they completely eliminate the problem of the monsters constantly spawning there.

Facing the red demon, Shirou gritted his teeth, leaped high into the air, and swung his axe down at the demon's spiked club.

"Nine Lives Blade Works!!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" The red demon, over three meters tall, roared as it looked at the human who was provoking it.

Shirou, enduring the throbbing pain in his palms, used the martial arts honed by the Great Hero, slashing down with one axe blow after another.

Musashi and Gudako finally arrived at the Enri-eido Castle, the castle where the former lord had lived. At this moment, the place was covered in black, with eerie black and purple mist rising from the surroundings, and black thorny tentacles swaying around. It was almost unrecognizable as the magnificent lord's mansion from before.

"Welcome to our Edo Enri-eido Castle, Lord Shinmen Musashi, Master of Chaldea." At that moment, a long-haired man with a sly grin walked over. Although he was Onmyoji from the East, he also had many Western characteristics.

One side of his hair was long, straight white, while the other side was curly. He wore earrings made of magatama, and his neck was covered by a Western-style purple high collar. One side of his body was covered by an ancient green robe, while the other side was bare. His hands had long, sharp nails like a zombie's, and he wore long sleeves with red and white stripes, making him look like a clown. He had a handsome face, but the smile he showed gave off an eerie and sinister feeling that made people feel uncomfortable.

"Who goes there?! Hey! Handsome guy?" Musashi immediately stopped and shielded Gudako behind him.

"Musashi- chan!" Gudako called out in an annoyed tone.

"Hahaha! Even if you're handsome, you're still a monster in pretty skin." Musashi dryly, his serious face returning to its fighting stance, and raised the Myojin-giri towards Ashiya Douman.

Chapter 382 Ashiya Douman's Slash

"Is that so? I must say, you really are worthy of Shinmen Musashi. Before this Enri-eido Castle is truly activated, we can't let you pass through here." Ashiya Douman finished speaking when beams of red light emerged from the darkness behind him—the eyes of a group of demons.

Musashi gripped the Myojin-giri in one hand and her original sword in the other, relentlessly slicing through the demons. However, she was now alone, facing dozens of demons. Even if she killed them all, the treacherous Ashiya Douman would hide to the side and release a summoning circle, summoning new hordes of demons.

If Musashi alone, he would be unable to carry the load.

At that moment, another monster recklessly pounced on them, spewing a foul stench from its mouth.

Musashi, in a fit of rage, cleaved the sword in two and shouted, "Shirou, haven't you arrived yet? We can't hold on much longer!"

"Shirou-senpai! Help!" Gudako shouted as she watched the monsters gathering.

Unfortunately, Shirou's side was also caught in a fierce battle at this time.

Although the Red Oni has been defeated and lies on the ground, the pressure from other aspects remains.

The eight-headed hydra lunged at him, baring its fangs and claws. Shirou swung his sword and slashed, severing the sixth head. The hydra's large and small eyes, glowing red, were wide open, seemingly ready to pounce and devour Shirou, their delicious meal.

On the other side, Musashi, protecting Gudako, slashed at the surrounding monsters with his sword!

"Hateful!"

"Musashi, catch Caster first!" Gudako prompted.

At this moment, more than ten more demons were summoned by Yin-Yang magic.

"Hahaha, you can't even get close to me, yet you dare to dream of defeating me?" Ashiya Douman, his hands clasped with long, sharp nails.

Ashiya Douman laughed and said, "Ugly! Ugly! Utterly ugly! Even if you possess a Heroic Spirit Swordmaster swordsmen, how powerless you are before this Enri-eido Castle blessed by Lord Satan!"

A group of monsters had surrounded Musashi and Gudako, putting them in grave danger.

In that very instant.

Two figures, one in black and one in red, swooped down from above in an instant, killing several demons on the ground.

It was Kato Danzo Fuma Kotaro who, while traveling together, had developed a new relationship.

"Are you betraying me, Kato Danzo?" Ashiya Douman asked, looking at the black-haired ninja girl.

"You want to destroy the world, indiscriminately slaughtering innocent people, even if it's for revenge. I think that's wrong. Even in a chaotic era like the Warring States period, every war was ultimately for a better life. Turning this world into hell is something we must stop!" Kato Danzo shouted.

"Hmph, I have been waiting for this for a long time. Go, my puppet. Although it is broken, now do your best for me, at any cost, even self-destruct, and kill everyone here." Ashiya Douman activated a crimson spell and shouted with a sinister grin.

Kato Danzo was reactivated by him. He deliberately destroyed Kato Danzo's memory device and then implanted the Heroic Spirit Swordmaster's killing technique. A puppet is still a puppet, so how could it possibly escape his control?

Kato Danzo was about to launch an attack, seemed to freeze, completely losing his momentum. His vision went dark, and he lowered his head as if the power had been cut off.

Ashiya Douman turned around, looked at Musashi, and waved his hands to form a pentagram.

"And you! You haven't stopped since the beginning. Your spirit has already declined to a certain extent, hasn't it, Musashi! Come! Accept it! The blood-red pentagram bestowed upon us by our Lord Satan, capable of devouring everything!!! Hahaha!!!"

A crimson pentagram landed on Musashi, and she felt a tingling sensation throughout her body, momentarily losing control of herself.

"Whoa!!! I can't move my body..." Musashi cried out in alarm, a look of pain on his face.

"Hahaha, Shinmen Musashi, you have been cursed with all killing by me, your soul has been seen through by me. Your heart is struggling, but it is all meaningless, it is unavoidable. I will help you replace and transform! Farewell! Shinmen Musashi! The new swordsman Servant will use your body to kill everyone around you!" Ashiya Douman shouted with a loud laugh.

"Don't underestimate Chaldea!" At that moment Gudako rushed forward! Using the Mystic Code given to her by the Atlas Institute, she shouted, "Isis's Rain!!!"

At this moment, the Atlas Institute, a skill created by humanity's most powerful group of alchemists, can remove any abnormal status.

The blood on Musashi's body was instantly washed away, and he felt much lighter. He rushed forward and slashed Ashiya Douman the chest with his sword.

"How is this possible! You... you actually dispelled my magic? Human! You've fooled the blessing Satan gave me! And this sword..." Ashiya Douman incredulous, retreating repeatedly.

"My swordsmanship is still immature, but it has indeed entered the realm of emptiness. Because there is no emptiness and no thought, there is nothing that I cannot cut," Musashi said softly to the Onmyoji.

Ashiya Douman revealed a ferocious expression and began chanting something. "Damn it, utterly hateful! It's not over yet! In the name of Satan and Lucifer of hell, come forth! Come forth! Ugh..."

Behind him, Giant Skeleton, with multiple heads, multiple arms, and countless resentful spirits, emerged in a phantom form.

Just as Ashiya Douman chanting the incantation, Kato Danzo, who had been silent all along, and the madman Kotaro simultaneously swung their weapons, cutting Ashiya Douman into four pieces.

"Fool! Although I don't understand human techniques, what's so difficult about destroying unnecessary ones? Humans are still as arrogant and ignorant as ever." The Yamata no Orochi, who was watching from a distance, sneered. She was very lenient towards her familiars. So when Kotaro had special feelings for Kato Danzo, she stepped in to help Kotaro restore the settings within Kengyō's body to their original state.

The ninja waited for his opportunity and launched a fatal counterattack against Ashiya Douman.

"Seriously, I never expected such an accident to happen. Even dolls can malfunction. It's like playing with a snake and getting bitten in return. It's really annoying." Ashiya Douman helpless smile, though he maintained that eerie smile despite saying he was very annoyed.

Strangely, Ashiya Douman disappeared from here.

"Well done! Kotaro? And who is this?" Gudako looked at the two ninjas with a puzzled expression. One of them was Fuma Kotaro, an Assassin she knew. She had a slight connection to him, but he was definitely Chaldea Servant.

"Let's go, Prince Kotaro." The black-haired woman made a ninja hand seal and vanished in an instant.

"I will apologize to you after everything in this world is over, head of household." The red-haired boy bowed slightly to Gudako and then left with the black-haired woman.

"Wait..." Gudako couldn't stop Kotaro; the two ninjas were too fast, disappearing in a few seconds.

"Hey, are you alright?" At that moment, Shirou also rushed over.

Bibi beep~!

A signal receiving sound suddenly came from beside Gudako, and a transparent blue light screen appeared, revealing a short-haired girl wearing glasses.

"Oh, Mash ~!" Gudako looked at the screen with delight and waved.

"Senpai! Finally! Finally connected!" Mash exclaimed excitedly, quickly turning to shout to the other side, "Da Vinci -chan! Communication with Gudako-senpai is restored! Shirou-senpai is with us too!"

On the other side, a mature woman with black hair walked over, chuckling lightly, and said, "Alright, alright, this is all thanks to my genius and hard work. It wasn't in vain that I worked through the night for several days in a row. Thank you for your hard work, Gudako. And Shirou? What exactly happened to you there?"
