233 The Battle for the Fortress City

You convinced us to attack Mount Suzuka Seki Fortress, but then you defected to the enemy on the spot. What are you trying to do?!

Shuya also hadn't expected Nurarihyon to be so direct, but he immediately laughed heartily, "On behalf of the Kanto Monster Alliance, I welcome the new senior to the position! I hereby declare that the new senior is now the Left Protector of the Kanto Monster Alliance, second only to me in rank!"

He looked at Nurarihyon, then gestured towards Seki Fortress: "Senior, please!"

"You're too kind, Alliance Leader!"

Grandpa Nurarihyon and Shuya exchanged a smile, then Nurarihyon didn't turn his head or even glance at the Kansai Monster again, and was thus invited into the City Lord's Manor to rest.

After seeing Nurarihyon off, Shuya returned to the castle wall, Monster the Monster from Kanto and Kansai were already arguing fiercely.

I wouldn't dare curse or insult my family, because we're all one family.

Without a Monster, the Monster in Kansai were all pushing each other aside, and no yokai was willing to be the first to attack the city.

They had received word Kanto the Monster of Kanto would not commit murder, but who could say what might happen on the battlefield?

Seeing that it would be dark soon, Shuya, who was on the city wall, ordered his men to go out of the city and form ranks.

He wasn't afraid that the Monster from Kansai would take the opportunity to attack; if they wanted to attack, they would have done so long ago.

As it turned out, he was right.

When the city gates opened, they actually retreated a bit.

The Monster from the Alliance filed out.

The Monster on the left and right stood at the front, the front ones flew in the sky, the rear ones followed, and the Chubu brought up the rear.

Only Shuya and Shizuka Hiratsuka on the city wall... well, there were also many other Monster just watching from the sidelines.

The Aoyama Sisters went to the left section, Yukinoshita Sisters went to the rear section.

They didn't come here to watch a show.

Shizuka Hiratsuka was disappointed with the Kansai Monster, so she stayed on the castle wall and didn't bother to move.

Shuya fight because he wanted to give Shuten Gozaburo and the others a chance to avenge themselves.

There's no point in him helping at all.

The Kanto Monster Alliance advanced in orderly formation, launching a pincer attack from both above and below, displaying formidable power.

The Kansai Monster were thrown into chaos, but at least they had some foundation, so they didn't just flee without fighting back.

Suddenly, a large number of flying Monster rose into the air from their formation, which looked quite spectacular. However, because they had not practiced beforehand, many of the Monster crashed into each other in mid-air.

"You bastard, you hit me!"

"You were the one who crashed into me!"

"Huh? You want to fight, you idiot!"

Come on!

Some of the Monster even started fighting.

"Stop! Are you all idiots?!"

"Go and engage the enemy!"

Some of the flying Monster, being highly skilled, rebuked and tried to stop them, barely managing to tame the Monster.

But the Kanto Monster Alliance had already done more than enough by waiting for them to assemble.

A terrifying aura of power surged into the sky from the rear, and a red light shone from the hands of the first row of Monster at the rear as they threw out large fireballs in unison.

The Kansai Monster saw a burst of firelight falling like rain, growing larger and larger.

"Enemy attack---!"

"Those with Strange Arts, fight back!"

"Wait, what kind of Strange Arts is this?!"

"I don't care what kind of Strange Arts you use, as long as you can defend yourself!"

"It's too late! Aaaaaaah!"

The Kansai Monster were out of control, and even the Monster clan members were led astray by a large number of scattered Monster, who were randomly unleashing their Strange Arts.

Some panicked Monster even threw their Strange Arts into their own camp.

The fireballs exploded, and less than 30% were stopped; 70% of the fireballs exploded among the Kansai Monster, instantly killing many of them.

Before they could even catch their breath, blue light shone from the hands of the Monster in the second row at the back.

From Shuya's perspective, he could clearly see that after Haruno released the fireball, it was now Yukino release the ice bullet.

A beam of blue light soared into the sky and descended to the earth.

At this point, the Kansai Monster finally reached a consensus.

The foxes gathered together, and the most wondrous white-faced Golden Hair Fox Demon shouted, "Fire!"

"Fire! Fire! Fire!"

The foxes emitted a pleasant sound and repeated it in unison.

With a commander in command, the Kansai Monster unleashed their Strange Arts, which, though chaotic, managed to create a wall of fire that blocked the air, allowing only a few ice projectiles to fall.

They managed to hold off this round, but were a step too slow in the next.

Thick logs rained down from the sky, and although the foxes ordered a counterattack, only a few Monster could keep up with their commands.

Then, the Five Elements Strange Arts came repeatedly, and the foxes struggled to hold on.

The defeat in the Strange Arts battle caused the Kansai Monster' formation to fall into disarray. Currently, the three groups of Monster from the air and the ground are attacking from the left and right, Kansai Monster can only be killed and forced to retreat continuously.

This scene illustrates the difference between well-trained individuals and a mob.

Chapter 249, Battle of the Seki Fortress 233)

"Shuten- taro! Come out and have a go!"

In the midst of the battle, Shuten Gozaburo brandished his spiked club in a provocative manner.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals—when the Monster from Kanto Kansai clashed, Shuten Gozaburo sought out the head of the Shuten Family.

"I am Shuten Doji! Not Shuten- tō!"

Shuten Gozaburo was even taller than Shuten Doji, roared and charged at him. He was furious and seemed to dislike the name Taro.

"Hahaha, Taro Taro Taro!"

Shuten Gozaburo shouted in a cheeky voice, his voice drowning out the surrounding battle, attracting many Monsters to glance over.

The name Taro doesn't seem to fit with Shuten Doji at all.

"Hao--San--Lang--!"

Shuten Doji's eyes were bloodshot. He wasn't originally this irritable, but it's normal for his personality to change like this due to the influence of Shuten Doji name.

Shuten Doji immediately engaged in combat with Shuten Gozaburo.

Flames of energy suddenly ignited on the two of them. The Oni Clan mainly relies on their powerful physical bodies to fight, so their energy is vigorous and extremely masculine. Although their name is Ghost, they are not ghosts. On the contrary, they are very effective against ghosts.

Alongside the burst of physical energy and blood, a powerful Demon Power was also circulating.

The two demons began to clash with their spiked clubs.

When Shuten Doji clashed blows with Shuten Gozaburo, he was surprised to find that Shuten Gozaburo did not back down an inch, and that Shuten-dōji's physical strength and Demon Power were not much weaker than his own.

Shuten Doji's expression changed drastically. "How did you improve so quickly!"

"..."

Shuten Gozaburo trembled, his roar tinged with a hint of fear, "You bastard, do you know how hard I've worked! Have you ever felt the despair of being ganged up on by monsters like the Natural Martial Bone, the Heavenly Demon Body, the God-like Shinmeiryu Otake-maru?! No, you haven't! You're just a fool enjoying the benefits of your ancestors!"

"I am no longer who I was yesterday!"

Shuten Gozaburo unleashed his full power, pushing Shuten Doji backward step by step, leaving two deep furrows in the ground beneath his feet.

Damn it, this should be so great, why do I feel like crying...?

Shuten Gozaburo recalled the hellish training he had undergone...

"Aaaaaaah!"

He shouted loudly.

"What?!"

Shuten Doji was unaware of the Shuten Gozaburo's bloodshot eyes (wanting to cry), and him frantically shaking his head as if insane (I can't think about it anymore, I'm so upset!).

Shuten Doji only saw a pair of red-glowing eyes twitching, and drool dripping from a ferocious mouth. Suddenly, a tremendous force arose on Shuten Gozaburo's spiked club.

Shuten Gozaburo's horns suddenly grew larger, his body expanded, and his strength completely overwhelmed Shuten Doji!

He broke through!

He had already made great progress under the grueling training of Shuya and his team. Now, driven by an intense desire to defeat Shuten Doji and a mental shock (stimulated by psychological trauma), he was about to break through his limits in the heat of battle!

"Defeat! Taro---!"

Shuten Gozaburo's blood and qi surged, and he pressed down forcefully, releasing layers of steam.

"Delusion! I can defeat you once, and I can defeat you many more times!"

Shuten Doji was no pushover either; he regained the fighting spirit he had when he competed with Shuten Gozaburo for the position of clan head.

His years of pampered life and lack of rivals had caused him to neglect his training, but now his passion has reignited.

"Taro Langlang---!"

"Gozaburo Langlang---!"

Shuten Gozaburo and Shuten Doji, their faces contorted in rage, threw aside their spiked clubs and began to fight with their fists.

A punch and a kick powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks struck the opponent's formidable body, producing a loud thud.

The blood of the two demons gushed out as if it were free.

The surrounding Oni Clan were thrilled, howling and throwing away their spiked clubs to engage in a frenzied brawl.

Shuya, standing on the city wall, turned his gaze away from Shuten Gozaburo.

He was quite worried that he might have smashed his head to cause this, but then he thought that since he was already stupid, it didn't seem to matter if he became even stupider.

He was relieved.

Following Shuten Gozaburo, he looked up at the battle in the sky.

Oniichi Tenba and the contemporary Kichi Hogen clashed.

In this generation, the Oniichi Tengu Family.

The Great Tengu is Monster with multiple families, each living their own lives and cultivating in the deep mountains. However, after the start of the world war, they were inevitably drawn into the war.

Before the great war, each Tengu clan had a head of household. After the war, countless Tengu clans suffered casualties, and many clans were unable to produce a head of household who could command respect.

To prevent the Tengu race from declining, the various families formed a loose the Alliance and elected the strongest member as the head of the family.

This generation was won by the Tengu from the Oniichi.

Back then, Kiichi Tengan and Oniichi Tenba were known as the twin stars of the Oniichi, and their competition was extremely fierce. In the end Oniichi Tenba was defeated, and Kiichi Tengan became Kichi Hogen.

These two brothers, who were once bitter enemies, have once again raised their swords against each other after many years.

Two black lines streaked across the sky, and even ordinary experts couldn't see the battle between the two Great Tengu. All they could hear was the crisp sound of metal striking metal.

Compared to the melee combat between the Shuten brothers on the ground, the battle between Oniichi Tenba and Kichi Hogen was far more dangerous, as swords and blades were unpredictable and difficult to control.

They fought with the resolve to kill each other.

It has always been this way.

Oniichi Tenba and Kichi Hogen flashed repeatedly, chasing and entangled for a while, clashing swords at each other in the high sky.

They don't just fight each other; they also occasionally interfere with the battles of other Tengu, thus adjusting the overall situation of the aerial battlefield.

The legacy of the Kichi Hogen includes not only swordsmanship but also military strategy.

The decisive battle between Kichi Hogen and Oniichi Tenba involved not only their individual martial prowess but also the overall course of the battle.
