239 The Sacred Vermilion Bird

The Nurarihyon has disappeared; no one knows where it went.

The three ignored the flames and escaped the city, watching the battle from afar.

"This thing is so hard!"

Shuya tried using the First Snow to slash Shuten Doji a few times.

Flames can easily cleave through, but once they cut through skin, they can't penetrate it.

Tsuruko Shizuka Hiratsuka faced the same situation.

Tsuruko Thunderclap Sword, leaving only a small wound that slightly abraded Shuten Doji.

Shizuka Hiratsuka was completely unafraid of Shuten Doji's fire, but she still faced the same problem: she couldn't break through his defenses.

"Hey, do you guys think typing (censored) text is useful?!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka shouted.

Tsuruko replied, "This isn't a real Monster, it's useless!"

As she spoke, Shuten Doji swept his staff across, smashing a row of houses like toys.

"Ooh!"

Shuya saw a large foot kicking towards him and quickly flew away.

A bunch of houses were kicked apart again.

"That madman..."

The area where Shuya, Shuten Doji, and the others fought was completely ruined, and the castle had long been destroyed.

The Monster in the city aren't stupid; they wouldn't stay inside and continue fighting.

They all fled the Mountain City in a sorry state, watching helplessly as Shuten Doji and the Shuya two fought.

Monster Kanto Kansai Monster who had run outside the city stopped fighting and instead formed a cheering squad, each shouting themselves hoarse.

"Go, Alliance Leader!"

"Shuten Doji!"

"Alliance Leader! Alliance Leader! Alliance Leader!"

"Shuten Doji! Shuten Doji! Shuten Doji!"

"Damn it, you're an idiot."

Shuya cursed.

"Forget about them! Use whatever method you have!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka forcefully punched Shuten Doji's large foot, looking like a professional pedicurist.

"How about we use hit-and-run tactics to wear down his Power of Will?"

Tsuruko used her katana to trim Shuten Doji's nails.

Shuten Doji wildly swung his spiked club, causing the Mountain City to tremble as if an earthquake had struck.

"You bastard! You're too arrogant!"

Shuya annoyed by him poking and prodding him with the spiked club.

"Get out of the way, let the professionals handle this!"

As the club swung down, Shuya stepped onto the spiked club and charged towards the arm.

Shuya ran nimbly, dodging the flames as he shouted:

"I have experience dealing with Titans! Everyone knows that to fight a Titan, you have to cut off the back of its neck! Hah! I'll cut it down!"

The First Snow blade flashed with black, white, and blue colors, and Shuten Doji's neck was severed, causing him to howl.

Shuya was overjoyed upon hearing this:

"Useful... my ass!"

A gust of wind swept from behind, Shuya dodged it, then sighed, "Different worldviews are a fatal flaw!"

Section 255, Chapter 239: The Vermilion Bird Holy Beast

Not long after the battle began, a small portion of the Mountain City in the Mount Oe Monster Domain was destroyed.

The Monster, who were the residents, weren't angry at all. Instead, they got excited and howled. Both sides cheered each Monster on in a chaotic manner, making the scene unbearable to watch.

After Shuya's attempt to cut the back of the neck proved ineffective, he became entangled in a prolonged fight.

He dodged the spiked club and flew around Shuten Doji, occasionally slashing with his sword.

He, Shizuka Hiratsuka, and Tsuruko diligently helped Shuten Doji trim and smooth his nails, but they could never do anything about it.

Shuten Doji was no match for Shuya and his group either.

The battle remained deadlocked.

Even if Shuten Doji's power is limited and will disappear once it's used up, aren't Shuya and the others' stamina also limited?

Therefore, dragging it out is not feasible.

"There's no other way; we have to resort to our ultimate weapon."

Shuya the Way.

"Wasn't your move incomplete?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka said.

They talked while dodging the attacks.

"The theory is complete, it just hasn't been tested yet, but today I feel it can work!"

Shuya recalled the feeling of his heart burning with flames, and mentally rehearsed the process of the ultimate move, Power of Will did not detect any danger.

"That should be fine."

He thought to himself.

The special technique Shuya mentioned was a new Strange Arts he had been developing these past few days.

He used the Ghost God Body Shizuka Hiratsuka, to train, not only to familiarize himself with the body but also to devise ways to better utilize it.

His current Ghost God Body only allows him to use the Power of Faith and Power of Awe, and his power has increased significantly; other mysteries have not yet been developed.

This is really wrong.

The Ghost God Body are very mysterious creations.

This is a miracle born from the fusion of souls from two different worlds.

They shouldn't only have this much power.

Shuya felt that his method of use was too crude, so he had been studying it these past few days.

... And believe it or not, he actually figured it out.

After obtaining the Ghost God Body, his talent for Strange Arts skyrocketed, which is why he was able to research it.

But in any case, he needs time to prepare before he can even try.

He wouldn't need much time, but it seemed unlikely that Shuten Doji would give it to him.

"We'll help you stall him, Inoue- kun, just focus on your preparations!"

Tsuruko resolutely replied.

She makes it sound so easy, but it's dangerous.

Don't be fooled by how smoothly the three of them seemed to be fighting Shuten Doji; they mainly relied on dodging and weaving.

Protecting Shuya means going head-to-head with Shuten- Shuten Doji.

Shuya didn't agree immediately. He glanced at the ruins of the Mountain City, then an idea came to him. He said, "Wait, let me try first!"

After saying that, he jumped onto the rooftop of a dilapidated house to compose himself.

The next second, he shouted angrily at Shuten Doji, "Bastard!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka: "?"

Tsuruko: "?"

Shuten Doji: "?"

The Monster: "?"

Everyone, including the demons, was completely bewildered by Shuya's sudden antics.

Even Shuten Doji, who doesn't possess much intelligence, was momentarily stunned by Shuya's unusual behavior.

Then, Shuya the top of his lungs, "What kind of messed-up fighting method is this?!"

"Look at the terrible scene around you!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka understood, her eyes wide with astonishment. "Oh, Orman?!"

The towering Shuten Doji glanced around instinctively, and the ruins of the Mountain City came into view.

He was suddenly stunned.

Shuya cried out in anguish, "How can you still be considered the final guardian of the Monster Domain?!"

Shuten Doji: "!"

He was filled with grief, anger, and pain, and said bitterly, "Haven't we failed to protect anything?!"

Shuten Doji: "?!!!"

Shuya tears. "Why did this happen...?"

He knelt down limply, his voice trembling with tears. "I didn't manage to protect anything..."

Shuten Doji: "..."

He stared blankly around, slowly lowering the spiked club, his gaze unfocused...

He froze for a moment.

Outside, the captured clan head Shuten Doji, glared at him, trying to rouse him, but Shuten Gozaburo knocked him unconscious in one blow.

Holy crap! This lame joke actually worked!

Shuya, who was kneeling, was also greatly surprised. Seeing that it was effective, he no longer cared about the strange looks from Shizuka Hiratsuka and Tsuruko who had jumped over.

He acted quickly.

In an instant, white Power of Faith condensed into a pen in his hand, and black Power of Awe condensed into talisman paper on the ground.

Shuya waved his hand and began to write.

The runes landed on the paper.

The three dots at the top of the talisman are the Three Pure Ones Talisman Head!

Boom!

Writing Talisman in the Spirit Realm using the Ghost God Body has astonishing effects!

It was as Shuya heard an explosion in his mind, and his soul continued to extend into the sky.

Extend, extend...

Then, he suddenly found himself floating in a boundless ocean of the Power of Will accumulated by humankind throughout the ages!

The Three Pure Ones refer to the source of all heavenly laws and are the personification of the "Tao".

"Dao" is a term used by practitioners of the Great Hua Strange Arts to refer to the collective Power of Will of all humanity!

His soul and will have now connected to this boundless mass of Power of Will!

This is the privilege of the gods.

This is the authority of the gods.
