The Fuse / Beat Them Down

Apart from a few people (demons), no one knows.

Today is not a special day.

He will face an assassination attempt.

Section 274, Chapter 258: The Fuse

Shuya finished his breakfast leisurely and then went out.

Outside the door, those great Monster were already waiting.

Shuten Gozaburo and Shuten Doji glared at each other, almost ready to fight.

The Kichi Hogen and the other great Monster ignored them and stood to the side.

Tamamo-no-Mae cannot appear, so she is not here.

Most of the great Monster from both the Kanto and Kansai regions have been dispatched, but there are still dozens left on the scene.

They stood on the street in the early morning, without deliberately exerting any pressure, yet they still managed to clear the area.

Shuya came out alone; his teammates never participated in these things, they were only responsible for fighting.

Good morning, Alliance Leader!

Shuten Gozaburo's loud voice shattered the morning silence, waking up the drunken scoundrels lying on the street.

They mumbled something unintelligible, struggled to their feet, walked to the street stalls, grabbed some food and drinks, and began to eat and drink.

Those who remain in the Monster City are mostly people like this.

An unemployed person with exceptional Power of Will.

Shuya glanced at them, then smiled and ignored them.

The more these social scumbags indulged themselves, the less pressure Shuya felt when using them.

They're useful tools, perfect for being hostages.

They'll be trapped in the Monster City for now, but they'll have plenty of food and drink, so it's a draw.

It might be a bit of a shock, but that's part of the price.

These thoughts Shuya's mind.

"Let's go, let's see those people from the Supernatural Bureau off."

Shuya said this casually.

Hehehe.

Shuten Gozaburo chuckled wickedly.

Shuya led the way to the hotel where the members of the Supernatural Bureau were to stay.

"Is everything really ready?"

"Don't worry, Alliance Leader, it'll be fine."

"Good."

After finishing his conversation with Shuten Gozaburo, Shuya quickly walked over to the area where the Supernatural Bureau and other organizations were staying.

They were already at the door.

Shuya's expression changed, and he went up to them apologetically. "Director Abe, I'm so sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing."

Director Abe was displeased, but outwardly he smiled and said, "It's alright, it's just that the timing wasn't good. Let's discuss the specifics once your alliance has stabilized."

In his heart, he secretly wished that the Japan Monster Alliance would collapse, so he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.

Other Shrine messengers are the same; they appear very refined but are actually quite pretentious.

Shuya exchanged pleasantries with Director Abe and other leaders, while the female bureau chiefs watched longingly but didn't dare to come forward.

And so, Shuya accompanied the Supernatural Bureau and the others as they slowly walked out of the city gate.

No one realized what was about to happen, and they all thought Shuya very enthusiastic.

They also failed to notice that the great Monster behind Shuya had dispersed under the pretext of inspecting the city's defenses and correcting Monster discipline, and had not stayed by the Alliance Leader's side.

The Monster, including Shuten Doji, who were unaware of the situation, were also pulled along by Shuten Gozaburo and his companions.

Shuya walked out of the city gate alone and said goodbye to the Supernatural Bureau and others.

After saying goodbye several times, we finally parted ways.

The Supernatural Bureau and others walked toward the carriage prepared for them by the Alliance.

After the group had spread out, suddenly, Director Abe's daughter, who was looking back longingly, let out a scream:

"Ah! Watch out!"

"Alliance Leader, be careful!"

At the opportune moment Shuten Gozaburo also shouted at the top of his lungs.

Everyone, including some unsuspecting Monster, looked over in surprise.

A swift black shadow rushed towards Xiuya, who was standing alone in the Shuya space between the Monster and the crowd.

Shuya "seemed" not to have reacted yet, and could only barely turn around to block.

At the same time, Shuten Gozaburo and Kanto Monster rushed over in a panic, blocking the unsuspecting Monster's path.

A flash of cold light appeared, and a figure shrouded in black robes, whose gender and gender were indistinguishable, was pressed against Shuya.

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

Drops of blood flowed from Shuya's chest.

The air seemed to freeze.

Shocked, the members of the Supernatural Bureau screamed:

Something happened?

"What's up?"

"What the hell is going on?!"

Shuya only then realized what was happening. He flew into a rage, unleashing his divine power. "Insolence!"

The figure in black robes was pushed aside, and the blood-stained dagger fell to the ground with a clang.

Then, propelled by Shuya's momentum, the black-robed figure vanished swiftly from the Kyoto Monster Domain, leaving only one sentence:

"Don't think you can get away with this. The adults said the Monster Alliance Leader must die!"

"Asshole!"

Shuya was enraged, but he hadn't expected the black-robed assassin to leave so decisively, carelessly failing to capture him.

At this moment, the Monster "finally" reacted, Shuten Gozaburo roared:

"Alliance Leader assassinated!"

The Monster from the Kanto shouted in unison, "The Alliance Leader has been assassinated! Martial law declared throughout the city!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the shouts of Monster echoed throughout the city:

"The Alliance Leader has been assassinated; martial law has been declared throughout the city!"

Martial law declared throughout the city!

The Monster City was filled with shouts, as numerous Monster unleashed their demonic power, and the entire city was filled with demonic energy. The ordinary people who remained inside were terrified.

Shizuka Hiratsuka took a sip of her drink calmly. "It's starting."

"Um."

Tsuruko nodded, smiling as she placed her hand on the scabbard.

They are ready.

The Monster City was in turmoil, but the higher-ups of the Supernatural Bureau were unaffected. Director Abe's mind was racing the moment he saw Shuya being stabbed.

Conspiracy!

It's a conspiracy without even thinking!

He knew Inoue Shuya's strength; he couldn't possibly be careless and get assassinated. Besides, this was his territory, and he could teleport away with a thought.

If it's a conspiracy, then when did it begin?

Before Director Abe could think it through, Deputy Director Ashiya blurted out:

"Rebellion!"

Director Abe's expression changed drastically. "Damn it! Get out of here! This is a trap! Get out of here!"

"Walk!"

He didn't dare to ride in the carriage; he just wanted to rush out of the Kyoto Monster Domain with all his might.

A Shikigami swept them up and flew away, intending to throw them beyond the Monster Domain.

The people at the other Shrine all knew something was wrong and used various means to escape.

However, Shuya made a sudden move, unleashing a pair of crimson-gold fire wings that pulled everyone back into the city.

These people are no match for the gods; Shuya's intervention is tantamount to bullying a child.

The Monster, including Shuten Gozaburo, immediately surrounded everyone and drew their weapons.

He glared at them angrily. "You think you can leave? Tell me, are you prisoners?"

Seeing how quickly things were developing, Shuten Doji and Kichi Hogen could only exchange a glance before joining in.

"We didn't! Don't talk nonsense! You're framing us!"

"It has nothing to do with us!"

"Get out of the way!"

The members of the Supernatural Bureau formed a battle formation, drawing their Shikigami to confront each other. The female bureau members hesitated for a moment when they saw Shuya, but ultimately stood with the Supernatural Bureau, though they still said things like, "Is there some misunderstanding?"

The people at the Shrine naturally sided with the Supernatural Bureau.

But they dared not make a move.

A strange, mixed pressure of divine might, demonic power, and aura locked onto them.

Everyone's gaze shifted from the Monster to Shuya.

Shuya regained his composure.

He stepped forward, bent down, and picked up the dagger from the ground.

He weighed the dagger in his hand, and the blood on the blade flew back into his body.

His chest wound healed instantly.

"Hmm? This dagger..."

Shuya came over, and the Monster made way for him.

He walked up to the members of the Supernatural Bureau, raised the dagger that emitted no aura, and solemnly asked the Monster on either side, "Can you sense the aura of a god in this dagger?"

Shuten Gozaburo nodded vigorously. "Yes! The aura of a god is too strong!"

"I just don't know which god it is?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely the aura of a god!"

The great Monster looked serious.
