Chapter 489: The Evil God
"rustle--"
In the dark and silent mountains, as we go deeper, the trees become more lush and even the grass becomes more dense.
After arriving here, even the moonlight can hardly shine through, resulting in even lower visibility.
"This is a bit troublesome..."
Aize walked in the mountain forest area where ordinary people would not easily go deep, with his brows slightly furrowed.
He was not afraid of encountering any enemies here, but if he really encountered one and had to fight it, the current environmental conditions would be a bit too bad.
"The field of vision is limited, and there are many trees and bushes around. It is impossible to swing the sword as you wish in a place like this. If you are not careful, you will hit the trees instead of the enemy."
Aize couldn't help but tighten the Cong Yu Wan in his hand, thinking about what strategy he should adopt in fighting in such an environment to minimize the impact as much as possible and exert his strength, but he continued to walk into the mountains without retreating at all.
As he walked, before he encountered anything, Aize heard a familiar anxious shout.
"Ah! Master! How did you get so deep into this place all of a sudden?"
Along with such a shout, the girl's petite body passed through the lush trees and grass, fell from the sky, and landed in front of Aize.
If it wasn’t Cong Yu, who else could it be?
"You finally caught up."
Aize was not at all surprised by Cong Yu's appearance.
This ghost can locate its own location, fly in the sky, and pass through various obstacles unimpeded. It is not difficult for it to catch up with me.
Rather, it was already very late for her to catch up with him now.
Looking at Aize's calm appearance, Cong Yu was both angry and worried.
"Do you know that I was so worried, but you are still so calm?"
This made Cong Yu feel unbalanced all of a sudden.
"I went up the mountain with full mental preparation. If I can't act calmly at this moment, it would seem that I am seeking death without knowing my own limitations, right?" Aize said calmly, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and keep going."
Aize crossed the dense rain and continued walking into the deep mountains which became increasingly steeper and more rugged.
"Please don't go any further, Master!" Cong Yu knew that she couldn't stop Aize from moving forward, so she could only hold on to his shoulders and begged, "Go back now before anything goes wrong."
"Fang Nai must be worried to death now. If anything happens to you, the master, the child will definitely blame himself."
But his cold attitude doesn't show any such tendency at all.
Aize thought so but didn't say it out loud.
Because he also knew that Asatake Yoshino was not a bad person.
On the contrary, this witch is a very good person, so she ignored her own needs and insisted on not dragging Aize into this mess.
Judging from the performance of Asatake Yasuharu and others, if they can get help from Aize who pulls out the Souma Maru, it will definitely be a rare good thing for Asatake Yoshino who is hiding something.
But in order not to implicate innocent people, she took the initiative to give up her own interests, treated Aize coldly in a thankless way, and unilaterally rejected him, intending to use this method to keep Aize away from danger.
This undoubtedly proves the character of Yoshino Asatake, who is definitely a pushover.
Now, Aize entered the mountain regardless of the danger, and decided to explore the reason on his own because of her unilateral refusal. This must make Asatake Yoshino worried and guilty.
If anything happened to Aize, Asatake Yoshino would definitely feel guilty, or even more than that.
Unfortunately, Aize is also a stubborn person. Once he decides to do something, he will never back down.
"If you keep trying to persuade me, I'll have to think of another way to get rid of you, okay?"
At that moment, Aize did the dangerous thing without even looking back.
"Don't!" Cong Yu was really scared, and said with a bitter face: "Too cunning, Master, to threaten us in this way!"
"Who told you not to cooperate with me?" Aize smiled and said, "Since you call me master, no matter what special identity and status you have in Suizhi, you should stand by my side and listen to me, the master."
"If you can't do it, I don't need you to follow me. I can handle the rest by myself."
Cong Yu's little face suddenly became wrinkled, and she looked like she had something to grievance.
If someone else dared to speak to her like this, she wouldn't need to scold him, as the elders in his family would have taught him a lesson first.
She, the manager of Soumamaru, a human pillar with divine power, has been protecting Hoori for hundreds of years. To those in Hoori who know of her existence, she is no different from a god, and no one would disrespect her.
Including Asatake Yasuharu and Kurama Genjuro who could not see her, all the respected people in Hoori had to bow half their heads in front of her, Musame, and respectfully call her Lady Musame, even Asatake Yoshino, who was a shrine maiden.
But only Aize could teach her a lesson with such confidence.
Because this person is indeed her master and has the qualifications.
In this situation, Cong Yu was really afraid that Aize would abandon her and act alone again.
If she was there, even if he encountered that thing, Aize would not be completely helpless. But if she was not there, Aize would be in great danger of death if he encountered that thing alone.
With no other options, Cong Yu could only compromise.
"Okay, I will follow the master."
Cong Yu looked like he had a lot of grievances that he couldn't express.
"That's right..."
Aize was about to give a compliment when his steps suddenly stopped.
This caused Cong Yu, who was able to touch Aize, to accidentally bump into Aize's back.
"What, what happened? Master!"
Cong Yu became a little panicked.
“Shh…” Aize immediately made a gesture to Cong Yu to keep quiet, and said, “It seems like something is coming…”
Aize's eyes became sharper.
"What?" Cong Yu panicked and stammered, "Is it a demon? Could it be a ghost?"
...You are a ghost, so are you afraid of ghosts?
What is this thing that is so unacceptable?
Aize really wanted to say that, and even wanted to ask what the "evil spirit" that Cong Yu mentioned was.
But as time went by, Aize clearly heard an abnormal movement in the nearby grass.
“Pah…Pah…”
It was as if some wild animal was slowly moving through the bushes, ruffling the grass around it.
Aize heard the source of the sound and immediately cast a sharp gaze over there.
“Pah…Pah…”
Finally, as the noise became louder and more obvious, the thing pushed aside the bushes and emerged from the darkness.
It was a mass of darkness deeper than that in the mountains, and the whole thing gave people a feeling of filthiness. At first glance, it looked like a wild beast walking on all fours, but if you look closely, you will find that its limbs and body are all flowing animals like mud, ugly and dirty.
It looked as if the shape of a wild beast was made of dirty mud. Even the bottom of its limbs seemed to be dripping with mud, which made it look extremely creepy.
There was not even a trace of the outline of the other party's eyes, but when it turned its head to look at him, Aize still felt like he was being stared at.
“…This can’t be a mutated wild boar, right?”
Aize curled the corners of his mouth and said these words as if trying to find joy in suffering.
On the other hand, Cong Yu is completely different from Aize.
"Evil God!"
Cong Yu was no longer as panicked as before, but she still screamed and spoke loudly.
"The evil spirit has indeed appeared! Be careful, Master!"
I don’t know if the black mud-like thing heard Cong Yu’s voice. When Cong Yu’s voice fell, it whooshed and pounced on Aize.
The speed of the attack was as fast as a bullet.
“Bang!”
Aize responded immediately. He stomped his foot on the ground, raising a cloud of sand, and dodged to the side at a speed that was no less than that of the black mud.
“Bang!”
The black mud ball suddenly pounced on the tree behind Aize, knocking it to the ground.
Aize, who had just dodged the opponent's attack, was suddenly attacked inexplicably before he could stand firm.
“Swish!”
Suddenly, a black shadow cut through the air, long and thin, and lashed towards Aize like a whip.
“Bang!”
Aize's pupils shrank and he quickly squatted down. The long and thin black shadow brushed past his scalp and hit a tree, causing it to lose leaves madly and even the bark was torn into pieces.
“Swish!”
The black shadow failed to hit Aize and immediately changed direction, trying to strike again, but Aize dodged it by rolling on the ground, leaving only a sound of wind cutting.
Aize steadied himself and then saw that the long and thin black shadow actually extended from the black mud mass.
The thing that looked like a tentacle and also like a whip was controlled by the black mud mass. It was cutting through the air and blowing away the mud as it swung towards him.
"Wow, can you attack from a distance?"
Aize dodged the opponent's attacks several times, and his figure looked somewhat embarrassed.
There is no way. The terrain here is not good, the foothold is unstable, and it is a slope. There are only trees and grass around. It is absolutely impossible to dodge the enemy's attacks flexibly in such an environment.
If Aize wasn't so skilled, it would be difficult for him to dodge the attack of the black mud, let alone move quickly in such a place.
“Swish!”
The black mud mass was relentless and ruthlessly swung its tentacles down, continuing to attack Aize.
Seeing this, Aize's eyes turned cold, he stretched out his hand and grasped the knife.
