"Can't even pierce the Descending Sky Distant Mist?"
Muiichiro opened his mouth wide and tried to speak, but the backflow of water blocked his throat.
"No, it's time to end this."
Inside the hut, Tetsuana Mori, who was wielding a knife, was knocked down by Gyokko with a single blow.
The black water transformed into sharp blades, cutting into his body and leaving streaks of blood.
"Goo-ah!"
Looking at the fallen Tetsuana Mori, Gyokko glanced around and said.
"There's nothing strange about it. Why are you so desperately guarding this dilapidated house?"
"The village chief isn't in here either; there are only some tools for forging knives."
At that moment, he noticed a person with their back to him in the very center of the cabin.
Even the intense sounds of battle did not distract him.
He held a knife in both hands and kept rubbing it on the Ishigami.
Even though he was seriously injured and fell to the ground, Tetsuana Mori was still struggling to crawl toward that place.
"Hmm?"
After glancing at the other party's tall figure, Gyokko let out a cold snort.
"A young human, with a body under forty, shouldn't be the village chief."
After shouting at the knife sharpener, the man didn't react.
Inside the cabin, all that could be heard was him whispering something.
"What amazing iron, what amazing knife."
"What kind of technology is this? It's amazing, I've never seen anything like it before."
"Who forged this sword, and who wears it? Why is it unnamed?"
Somewhat angry, Gyokko felt displeased at being ignored.
"Haganezuka..."
Using his machete to support his body, Tetsuana Mori moved between the two.
Judging from his expression, it seemed like he was saying, "Don't even think about getting through unless you kill me."
"It's so irritating, I've never felt anything so intense before."
For some reason, Gyokko felt that she had lost to the man known as "Haganezuka" in terms of being an "artist".
In a fit of rage, he flung the pot from his hand.
In an instant, a white wave shot out from the spout, transforming into a sharp blade that flew towards the Haganezuka.
Immersed in sharpening his blade, Haganezuka paid no attention to these things and took the blow head-on.
Large amounts of blood flowed down his body, and the mask on his face was shattered and fell off.
Beneath the mask was a ruggedly handsome man's face.
"This, this man! He won't stop!"
The little hand on its head was already clenched into a fist, Gyokko's face was full of anger.
He knew very well that he could easily kill him, but the anger in his heart prevented him from doing so.
He wanted to make Haganezuka drop the knife in his hand and destroy his attention.
Therefore, killing him at the most desperate moment would be the most pleasing thing for Gyokko.
"Click"
Just as Gyokko was wondering what to do, the sound of something being crushed came from under her feet.
Turning around, I saw Kotetsu hiding in the corner of the hut.
"Oh, right."
A wicked smile appeared on his face, and a plan formed in Gyokko's mind.
"Since the larger human doesn't work, let's try the smaller one."
He knew that many humans felt compassion for their young fellow human beings.
"Whoosh whoosh".
With a thought, the Gyokko pot summoned a new magical creature from within.
This creature has the head of a goldfish, but its body is more like that of a crab.
My hands were replaced by crab claws, making a cracking sound.
"Kill him."
Upon receiving Gyokko's command, the Crab Claw Goldfish pounced towards Kotetsu.
Upon seeing this, Kotetsu immediately lunged to the side.
With a powerful stab, the giant crab claw created a large hole in the wall of the hut.
Hurry and Muiichiro! Only he can save us!
Tetsuana Mori shouted at Kotetsu, then leaped up and pinned the Crab Claw Goldfish beneath him.
"Hurry up and go!"
Kotetsu wanted to say something more, but seeing Tetsuana Mori struggling desperately, he finally turned his head away.
He grabbed a sharp knife and ran outside through the large hole.
Gyokko did not object to this.
If even a human child can break his Blood Demon Art, then he might as well just restart his Gyokko.
"Haha, do you really think that kid can do that?"
"If I can rescue him, I'll go and beat the Scribe to death!"
A stream of water was released, and Gyokko Tetsuana Mori.
"Why don't you experience it too?"
With that, he bound Tetsuana Mori inside the Blood Prison Pot.
A large amount of water rushed into his throat, and Tetsuana Mori struggled incessantly, trying to break free.
However, the resistance from the water was too great, and unlike the Demon Slayer, he had not undergone any training.
He kept paddling his hands in the water, repeatedly sitting there doing nothing of value.
The Crab Claw Goldfish also crawled out of the large hole and chased after Kotetsu.
Outside, Kotetsu lay on the Blood Prison Pot, constantly stabbing it with his knife.
"I won't let you die, do your best, Mr. Tokito!"
His voice was already trembling with tears; Kotetsu's spirits had reached a breaking point.
"I will definitely let you out, I will save you!"
Seeing how desperately Kotetsu was trying to save him, Muiichiro was somewhat moved.
"If even I can't cut it open, you have even less of a chance."
His lips parted, as if he wanted to say something.
But the result was the same as before; no life could be detected.
Even Kotetsu's life is getting weaker and weaker.
Muichiro felt a little dizzy, Muiichiro know that it was because of lack of oxygen.
"Run! Even if you're the only one who can escape, it'll be fine."
"Go and ask for help, find the Mister Scribe or someone else."
Muiichiro was trying to convey his intentions to Kotetsu, the Crab Claw Goldfish also came up behind Kotetsu.
"Later!"
With his eyes wide open, Muiichiro kept waving his hands, indicating that there was a monster behind Kotetsu.
After glancing back, Kotetsu continued to poke forcefully.
"Run! Run!"
Trapped, Muiichiro could only watch helplessly as the Crab Claw Goldfish leaped up and fiercely stabbed at Kotetsu.
Look at those sharp crab claws; they could easily pierce through Kotetsu's body, going right through it.
Just then, a slash suddenly flew in from a distance.
The Crab Claw Goldfish in mid-air paused for a moment, and then its entire body was severed.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, we arrived just in time."
The Scribe's voice came from the forest not far away.
"Muiichiro, I told you that you must go all out against any enemy."
His eyes widened, Muiichiro unsure whether to feel ashamed or happy.
Kotetsu, who had survived the ordeal, looked at the Scribe standing in front of him, seemingly unable to believe it.
"Scribe, sir?"
"Hey, Kotetsu, are you alright?"
After patting Kotetsu's head, Scribe pulled him aside.
"Leave the rest to me."
Chapter 494 The Gyokko Ran Away
With a swing of his Nichirin Blade, the Blood Prison Pot that bound Muiichiro was shattered in the next instant.
As the water scattered, Muiichiro fell to the ground.
"Cough cough cough, um."
He pounded his chest, expelling all the water that had been poured into his body.
"Judging from your appearance, you were beaten badly by Gyokko."
Scribe squatted down and removed the needles from Muiichiro's body one by one.
"I underestimated my opponent and placed myself in too high a position."
"It's good that you know you were wrong."
Instead of reprimanding Muiichiro, the Scribe said something profound.
"From now on, you should just stay with them?"
"?"
"Don't overthink it, you'll find out when the time comes."
With a questioning look in his eyes, Muiichiro nodded.
After all the needles were removed from his body, he tried to stand up.
Before he could even straighten his leg, a tingling sensation came over him, and his body immediately swayed to the side.
"The poison on that needle was incredibly potent; even after it was removed, it still..."
His face showed pain, but he still insisted on trying to stand up.
"Do not move."
"Press down Muiichiro, "the Scribe said.
"What you need to do now is hold out until reinforcements arrive, understand?"
