Chapter 535 "Inugami"
“Ouch!!!”
It was a roar that shook the air, as terrifying as a gale.
The roar came from a black beast.
It has a strong physique, sturdy limbs, sharp fangs and a big mouth. It is filled with a dark aura and looks extremely ferocious.
Its long tail swung behind it, and its empty eyes seemed to be filled with hostility, completely different from that of an evil spirit. Anyone stared at by it felt as if they were being stared at by a snake, their whole body stiffening and unable to move.
Its appearance looks like a wolf but not a wolf, and like a dog but not a dog. In any case, neither a wolf nor a dog is as big as it. Rather than saying it is a wolf or a dog, it is better to say it is a lion or a tiger that looks like a wolf or a dog. Both its presence and oppression are far beyond the comparison of the previous evil spirits.
Looking at the pitch-black beast, Aize's face was solemn as he was bathed in the roar that shook the atmosphere. Asatake Yoshino and Hitachi Mako, who were not far away, were even more shocked, their eyes full of horror.
“W-What is this…?!”
Asatake Yoshino exclaimed in surprise.
"The evil spirits... have merged?"
Hitachi Mako was also murmuring blankly.
The countless evil spirits turned into black mud, gathered together, and finally formed this black beast.
"So, could that be the Inugami that was sacrificed by the eldest son of the Asatake family? Is it the Inugami's soul residing within the Yori, now filled with the power of resentment?"
Cong Yu spoke in Aize's mind, her voice frightened and panicked.
"Is that Inugami?"
Aize stared at the black beast and felt that the Cong Yuwan in his hand was trembling slightly.
It was not that he was trembling, nor was it that Cong Yuwan was afraid, but some unknown connection connected the two, causing Cong Yuwan to have such a reaction.
Murasamemaru is the divine sword bestowed by the god of Hoori, and the Inugami who was sacrificed as a sacrifice is also the beast god of Hoori Mountain.
The God of Hoori and the God of Inugami are both gods of the land of Hoori. Perhaps they had an intersection hundreds of years ago, or perhaps there was some unknown relationship between the two sides.
Therefore, when the Inugami appeared, the spirit of Murasamemaru, who was one with Aize, was also awakened and had a violent reaction.
Unfortunately, the real Inugami had already died, and what appeared before him was only the vengeful spirit of the Inugami living in the ghost.
“Gah!!!”
The vengeful spirit of the Inugami roared with hatred, staring at Aize, or rather at the fragments of Cong Yuwan and Pingdai in Aize's hands, and a murderous light gradually appeared in his eyes.
“…………!”
At this moment, Aize suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and without thinking, he dodged to the side.
"Bang!!!"
Almost at the same time, a black shadow suddenly fell on the place where Aize had previously stood, crushing the ground there and raising thick dust.
"Gurgle!"
The vengeful spirit of the dog god pounced over at some point in time, with an astonishing speed. After failing to hit him, he immediately swung his tail behind him, making it swing like a long whip and hit Aize who had dodged to the side heavily.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, Aize was hit by the dog god's tail, and he flew backwards and hit a tree.
"Aze!"
"Lord Aize!"
Asatake Yoshino and Hitachi Mako screamed in unison.
"Master! Are you okay? Master!"
Cong Yu's panicked voice also sounded in Aize's mind.
“Ahem…”
Aize slid down from the tree trunk, knelt on one knee on the ground, covered his chest and coughed.
At this moment, he only felt a dull pain in his chest. If it were not for the protection of divine power, he would have coughed up blood by now.
“So fast…”
Aize looked at the fierce-looking Inugami, and his expression changed.
Compared with the previous Suishin, the Inugami in front of him is completely on two different levels of strength, and it can even be said that the difference is like heaven and earth.
If, apart from the regenerative ability brought by being a collection of filth and the special feature of being invulnerable to non-divine weapons, the strength of the evil god is not even as strong as a wild boar in Aize's eyes, then the strength of the dog god is much more terrifying than jackals, tigers and leopards, and it feels like he is even surpassing ordinary beasts.
Although there were factors caused by the environment, which made the pitch-black Inugami in front of him completely blend into the darkness and his movements became unpredictable, the fact that the opponent was able to launch an attack that almost made him unable to react was enough to prove that its speed was definitely not bad.
"This time, if you don't take it seriously, you might really die."
As Aize had this thought, the black dog god roared again and pounced on him.
"Bang!"
The powerful forelimbs swept across, smashing the tree behind Aize cleanly and neatly, sending tree fragments flying all over the sky.
Aize dodged the fierce attack, then took a wrong step and retreated without hesitation, avoiding the black whip shadow that followed.
"Bang!"
The long tail behind the Inugami fell into the air and slammed onto the ground, causing a muffled sound and raising dust again.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”…
As bursts of muffled sounds appeared, the black dog god continued to attack, destroying the surrounding trees and the ground.
Sometimes it swept out its front limbs, sometimes swung its long tail, and sometimes bared its fangs and charged, showing its brutal side and trampling the surrounding trees, ground and grass.
Aize's figure was moving in the fierce attack of the black dog god. He kept dodging the attacks of the dog god and looked a little embarrassed.
"Mozi! Go help Aze!"
"I understand! Lady Yoshino!"
Yoshino Asatake, who was standing by, was extremely anxious. Seeing Aize in danger several times, she could no longer suppress her worry and asked Mako Hitachi to help Aize.
She definitely couldn't go up because she was controlled by Heidai in her sleep and came here unknowingly. Not only did she not bring Hokorin, she was also wearing a loose set of pajamas. She was not in a fighting condition at all.
Although Hitachi Maru was also wearing pajamas, perhaps because of her personality, her pajamas were not loose, at least it would not affect her movements. As a ninja, Hitachi Maru has always had the habit of carrying a kunai with her, otherwise when she was caught by Aize in the bathroom, she would not have been able to take out a kunai even though she was naked.
In such a situation, Hitachi Mako still has the strength to fight, and she is not like Asatake Yoshino, who is of no help at all.
So, Hitachi Mako ran over quickly and rushed towards Inugami in the standard ninja running posture.
"Guao!"
Inugami's senses and reactions seemed to be much stronger than Suishin's. He quickly noticed Hitachi Maruko's attack and let out a terrifying roar at her.
Hitachi Mako's body stiffened slightly, as if she was intimidated, but her extraordinary qualities allowed her to recover quickly and continue to charge without hesitation.
The Inugami immediately swung its tail behind it and hit Hitachi Mako hard.
The tail was really long, like a whip. I'm afraid that the tentacles used by the evil gods before were actually these long tails. However, their appearance was much more blurred and rotten than that of the dog gods. There was no decent place on their bodies, so that the tails had become tentacles, extending from the body, like a monster.
The Inugami is different. Both its body and limbs are very specific, and it looks strong at first glance. Its tail is also heavier and faster than the tentacles of the Suishin. As soon as the sound of breaking through the air was heard, it had already arrived on Hitachi Mako and hit her hard.
"Bang!"
The running Hitachi Mako was immediately knocked away like Aize before.
"Mozi!"
Yoshino Asatake's face turned pale in an instant.
However, the one who was blown away, Hitachi Mako, turned into a round tree stump at some point and fell to the ground in the distance.
"Hey!"
Hitachi Mako, who had used the substitution technique, appeared in front of Inugami in her true form, and stabbed Inugami's eyes with a kunai, going through them fiercely.
“Gah!”
The Inugami not only did not feel any pain, but instead seemed to be aroused by his ferocity. He shook his head and threw Hitachi Mako away.
"choke!"
Just when Inugami was about to press on with his victory, a cold blade light appeared.
It was seen that Aize's whole body was emitting clear spiritual energy, the divine power in his body was stimulated to the limit, his eyes were as cold as a knife, and he slashed out the most amazing sword so far.
“Puff!”
The long tail of the Inugami, which was ready to move, was cut off alive by this amazing sword and turned into black smoke and dissipated.
“Ouch!”
Unlike the emotionless evil god, the dog god seemed to be able to feel pain and anger. He let out a long howl, raised his front legs, and swept towards Aize without saying a word.
This blow, which was powerful enough to split mountains and rocks, was narrowly avoided by Aize by a hair's breadth.
Feeling the forelimbs that were more terrifying than any weapon passing by his cheek, the sharp whistling sound and strong wind scratched his ears painfully, and his hair was blown all over the place. Aize's eyes became even colder.
"Buzz!"
The light of divine power flickered on Aize's body, as if it had broken through some kind of limit, becoming more majestic and more powerful.
"choke!"
The Cong Yuwan in Aize's hand also completely turned into a cold blade light, like moonlight, like a flash, at this moment it penetrated the space and time, and slashed towards the Inugami at a speed beyond common sense.
“Puff!”
Like Aize, Cong Yuwan, who was shining with dazzling divine power, broke through the dog god's abdomen, penetrated its flesh, and pierced its body. He cut into its body from bottom to top in an upward slashing manner, and finally came out on its back.
“————”
The dog god, who was originally ferocious, suddenly froze there and would not move anymore.
Time stops at this moment.
Aize stood in front of the Inugami, maintaining a posture ready to chop with a sword, his back straight and tall.
The dog god also stood in front of Aize, motionless, like a statue.
Not long after, the dog god's body began to blur, and his figure was like dust, drifting away in the wind.
“Bang!”
A large crystal stone fell from its body and landed on the ground.
