247 Subduing the Monster City Single-Handed (Part 1)
These illusory figures were not solidified, but their imposing presence was evident.
This is the power of the Monster Domain.
These things didn't appear in the battles of Mount Suzuka and Mount Oe, Tamamo-no-Mae finally showed them to Shuya.
These phantoms only descended halfway, their purpose more focused on intimidation than actual combat capability.
This is used to demonstrate military force.
The intention was to show that even if the Kansai Monster retreated to the capital, they still had enough power to protect them.
Why are you doing this?
Shuya sighed, spurred his horse from the middle to the front, and passed through the passage between the left and right sides.
He rode alone among thousands of soldiers, his figure upright with a long sword at his waist—a handsome and valiant young man.
... That's really pretentious.
With his looks, status, and fame, he can be described as a man without any flaws.
The female superhumans in the distance were practically drooling as they watched.
"Sister..."
Yukino noticed that Haruno's eyes were fixed on Shuya, and her smile gradually turned sinister.
"Ugh, I never even thought of him."
"Okay, that's enough."
Yukino interrupted Haruno.
Their conversation did not affect Shuya.
The Kansai Monster, seeing Shuya leave, couldn't help but whisper among themselves:
"That's the Alliance Leader of the Kanto Monster Alliance..."
"The aura it exudes doesn't seem human..."
"I heard he's some kind of Ghost God Body? Has he abandoned humanity?"
"What a handsome young man."
"How about we lower our prices? Waaah!"
"Um???"
The Monster looked puzzled, but when they saw it was Fox Demon speaking, they all looked away.
They were already used to the Fox Demon's infatuation.
When the Yamata no Orochi saw Shuya approaching, it hurriedly shouted, "Stop! Stop! What do you think you're doing! Don't come any closer!"
He was completely honest with himself; who knew what tricks Shuya have up his sleeve?
Shuya readily agreed and stopped his horse.
"Shall we talk?"
He gazed at the large Monster on the wall.
"There's nothing to discuss, only the conditions from before."
The Yamata no Orochi held on tightly, refusing to let go.
Shuya calmly said, "You've already lost your chance, so why resist? Surrendering now would save face for everyone."
"You don't need to say anything more, it's impossible!"
The Yamata no Orochi sternly refused.
Shuya: "Then I'd like to ask you, how long do you plan to stay here and hide forever?"
"What's wrong with staying here? I love it here! I can stay here for decades to come!"
A turtle demon retorted loudly.
"..."
That's very convincing coming from the turtle demon.
Shuya thought to himself, "I'm so annoyed."
Chapter 263, Section 247: A Single Horseman Monster City (Part 1)
At this moment, a great Monster said, "And it's you who can't wait, isn't it? I know the woman you wanted to save is in trouble!"
The Kansai Monster started making a ruckus.
Shuya frowned, spurred his horse forward a few steps, and the Alliance Monster followed.
The Kansai Monster were shocked, and many of Monster simultaneously made a tactical backward leaning motion.
The Yamata no Orochi shuddered, and an energy shield lit up the Monster City, causing the summoned warrior phantom to solidify further.
Shuya remained calm as he slowly spurred his horse forward. He didn't let the Monster behind him follow, and rode alone towards the Monster City.
As he advanced, he amplified his voice using his Divine Power:
"Gentlemen, as far as I know, although this Kyoto Monster Domain is currently under your rule, it did not originally belong solely to you Monster."
Shuya's words made Tamamo-no-Mae and Yamata no Orochi realize something, and their expressions changed drastically.
"Don't let him continue!"
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
Besides the two heads of the main family, the heads of the other smaller families also spoke up, and instantly a series of Strange Arts attacked Shuya, but they could not touch him.
They were all blocked by the crimson-gold flame shield.
The horses' hooves pounded on the ground, each step seeming to strike their hearts.
Shuya approached the capital city at a leisurely pace, saying, "The Kyoto Monster Domain was the first Monster Domain established in Japan, originally intended to better defend against Western superhumans. The establishment of the Kyoto Monster Domain relied on the power of many gods, local superhumans, and the power of the Great Hua superhumans; it was not built by you Monster alone."
"The significance of the Kyoto Monster Domain lies in protecting Japan, not in giving you Kansai Monster a tool to oppress your own kind."
"The Kyoto Monster Domain does not belong to any one family or clan, but to all Monster, as well as other local extraordinary beings."
"Well said!"
"Our Alliance Leader is mighty!"
Long live the Alliance Leader!
The Monster of Kanto couldn't help but chime in.
Even the newly joined Monster thought this made sense, but they didn't say anything in support; they just listened in silence.
Shuya was still slowly approaching the city wall.
He said:
"After the World War, the leaders of the Japan Administrative District did not want the frequent appearance of Monster to disturb the lives of ordinary people, and also in order to suppress the growth of Monster, so they entrusted this Kyoto Monster Domain to you to live in. Originally, they did not specifically designate who would be the ruler, or who had the right or no right to live in the Kyoto Monster Domain."
"It's all because of the violent oppression of your Monster clans that we've created this situation. So you don't need to act like victims."
These words dampened the fighting spirit of the Kansai Monster somewhat.
"Spreading rumors and misleading the public!"
The Yamata no Orochi roared excitedly.
The surrounding Monster glanced at him sideways, wondering if this guy was racist or just stupid.
Even the powerful Monster like Tamamo-no-Mae reprimanded Shuya, but the Monster below didn't seem to care.
Their simple minds thought Shuya made some sense.
The Monster clan has been acting domineeringly for quite some time, and a lot of discontent has long been building up.
Previously, they were suppressed by force, but now the Kansai Monster have suffered repeated defeats, the Mount Oe Monster Domain has been destroyed, and Shuten Doji and Kichi Hogen surrendered. The Monster of Kansai are now restless.
They wouldn't have continued following Yamata no Orochi if they hadn't known that the capital's defenses were exceptionally strong.
Shuya said calmly, "Since you've gone down the wrong path, I'll correct it. After all, I'm the Alliance Leader the Japan Monster Alliance."
"The Alliance Leader the Japan Monster Alliance?"
"Ridiculous! We haven't acknowledged you!"
You're too arrogant!
The Kansai Monster said this, but the higher-ups were generally pale-faced, especially Yamata no Orochi and Tamamo-no-Mae. They knew that Shuya was establishing his status, not just boasting.
Sure enough, Shuya then spoke with Divine Power to the Kyoto Monster Domain, saying, "The Kyoto Monster Domain is the Monster Domain of Monster in the world. Your master should be the lord of Japan Monster, not whoever lives in the city. I wonder if the Monster Domain thinks what I said makes sense?"
The Kyoto Monster Domain trembled. It had no intelligence, but it followed certain rules.
These rules are in response to Shuya's words.
Shuya rode forward, and amidst the complex gazes of the Kansai Monster, declared with righteous indignation, "From Tokyo to Hokkaido, all the Monster of the Kanto region have submitted to me, acknowledging me as their Alliance Leader, and half of Japan's Monster are now under my command."
After he finished speaking, his momentum grew even stronger, and a surge of pure energy rose from his body.
"After unifying the Kanto, I led my forces to conquer the Mount Suzuka Monster Domain in the Chubu of the Japan Spirit Realm. From then on the Kanto Monster Alliance with."
The Kyoto Monster Domain trembled violently, intensifying its response to Shuya.
Shuya's body ignited with crimson-gold and black flames, the power of the god and the great Monster both merged and separated, leaving the Monster from Kansai and Kanto, as well as other extraordinary beings, dazzled and mesmerized.
Shuya alone, yet his aura surpassed that of all the Monster in Kansai.
The Kansai Monster were so intimidated by Shuya that they dared not launch an attack.
Shuya had already moved within range of the city's defensive weapons, but the Monster on the city wall remained strangely silent.
This is not a victory of words, but a crushing defeat by divine power.
"After occupying the Mount Suzuka Monster Domain, the Kansai Monster, led by their former Monster Nurarihyon, attacked. However, Nurarihyon joined the Alliance, Kansai Monster suffered a crushing defeat in a fair battle."
"I didn't even make a move."
Shuya smiled slightly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the protective light shield of the capital city shattered like broken glass.
The orderly city seemed to resonate with Xiu Ye's words, and Shuya the Monster on the city walls sensed it.
"Get out of here!"
Unfazed by divine power, the Yamata no Orochi no Orochi gritted its teeth and pushed aside the dwarf Monster, personally operating a Strange Arts cannon used for city defense. However...
"Move it! Move it! Why isn't it responding!"
No matter what he did, the Yamata no Orochi couldn't fire the cannon, and he roared in impotent rage.
"Control of the capital... is beginning to be taken away!"
Tamamo-no-Mae spoke these words with a trembling voice.
Shuya's words didn't stop there; he had already gotten very close.
"Just now, I personally led my men to attack the Mount Oe Monster Domain, defeating Shuten Doji, who served as the final defense of the Monster Domain. The Shuten-dōji family head, the Shuten Family Tengu Family head, and a host of other Monster all surrendered to me."
A phantom of the Vermilion Bird appeared behind Shuya, its divine power surging even more fiercely.
"Vermilion Bird!"
"Help!"
Don't look at me!
Some of the Monster were so frightened that they fell to the ground and could not get up again.
"After the battle of the Mount Oe Monster Domain, only the Kyoto Monster Domain and other scattered Monster Domain like the Tengu Monster Domain remain in Kansai. I have sent my men to persuade them to surrender, and I believe they would not dare to disobey my orders."
"At this point, only this place remains of the Japan Monster Domain."
"This Kyoto Monster Domain."
