[Tribe Heavenly Demon Church (2)]
Behind Genji Daein’s party followed and moved around with up to 20 soldiers armed with firearms surrounding them.
Genji took Daein and his party to the guard post. He said, leaning his heavy body on the large sofa.
“Not long ago, there was an incident where commoners ran away. So the atmosphere inside Tribe is a bit ugly. So, you also need to undergo investigation for a few days.”
“What have we to do with that?”
When Joo Sang-wook asked with a puzzled look on his face, Genji laughed heartily.
“You will find out if you investigate. How do you know if anything will come out? Anyway, prepare to be here for a while.”
Genji yawned and patted his fat stomach. He muttered as if he was hungry, choking on his appetite.
“There’s a lot of paperwork to process these days. “It’s already a low salary…”
“You said that a long time ago.”
The great man approached and slipped something into Genji’s pocket.
Genji slightly opened his pocket and checked what was inside.
‘Magic stone!’
It was also a high-grade magic stone that was difficult to find.
An item more precious than gold of the same weight.
A happy smile appeared on Genji’s lips.
“What are you doing? “Since we’re both busy, let’s just fill out the paperwork.”
The paperwork was completed in an instant.
After a while, Genji stood up with a light movement that was unbecoming of his size.
“Then let’s go. Especially since I will guide you to the eastern gate.”
As the group followed Genji out of the guard post, the soldiers looked at them with an expression as if they knew what had happened inside.
They crossed the territory of Tribe Orochi.
Genji, who was excited about the unexpected additional income, talked loudly.
“It’s been a week. Some commoners ran away through the northern gate. They were children who served our samurai, and they climbed over the castle wall, saying they were on an errand for the samurai. Ha, even now that I think about it, my liver is sticking out of my stomach. “I wasn’t there at that scene…”
Daein asked to understand what happened after that.
“There’s a lot going on. So did you catch everything?”
“I caught and killed almost all of them. “Look over there.”
The group’s eyes turned to where Genji’s thick finger was pointing.
Charred corpses were hanging on high poles.
“!!”
Joo Sang-wook was shocked and stopped in place, and Lily looked at him with wide eyes.
Kwaak….
God clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Daeinman looked at the scene indifferently and asked Genji.
“Is that on display as an example?”
“yes. I heard there’s still one left. Since Tamashi himself came forward, he will be caught quickly, right?”
Genji, who was excited to meet someone who contradicted him for the first time in a long time, started chattering.
“Anyway, commoners will rise up if you treat them just a little bit well. “Thanks to someone, they are free from the threat of monsters and live safely like this.”
“It’s all thanks to the warriors.”
“I know yeah! “The commoners keep forgetting the favors we have given them, so I wonder if our lord also has to do something like that.”
Instead of answering, the great man turned his head and looked around.
Every time the frightened ‘commoners’ made eye contact with him, they were startled and hastily lowered their heads.
They were naked and starving due to hard labor. All the men were carrying shovels and hoes, and the women were carrying baskets of potatoes and vegetables on their heads.
On one side, people were clinging to each other and dismantling the monster’s body, and on the other side, they were building a building.
The people who were mobilized for all that labor looked extremely exhausted.
“…….”
His inhuman senses did not miss any of the traces of assault and painful groans engraved on people’s bodies.
It was then that Lily sent a message to Daein. The girl saw and felt the same things as the adult.
[mister! The superhumans here are really bad guys!]
Magical power began to fluctuate around the girl’s body. The great man warned Lily before anyone else noticed.
[Stay still.]
[They’re bad guys! I have to scold you!]
The great man looked back at Lily with a cold expression.
[so. What are you going to do next if you kill them all?]
[…Huh?]
The great man sighed and sent a telegram to Lily, who looked embarrassed.
[It is true that the superhumans here are bad guys. But without these guys, people here will eventually die from monsters. Are you going to stay here and protect these people?]
[That’s not true…]
Daein’s words were extremely realistic.
Within the Tribe, citizens are treated like slaves to warriors, but in return they are guaranteed a minimum level of safety.
[You and I can’t stay here and do that for them.]
It was best for them to just pass by quickly.
For now.
[But…]
[Child. There are things in the world that cannot be done through force. And you don’t start something you can’t take responsibility for.]
[…Yeah. Okay.]
Lily nodded with a sullen expression. The girl held the hand of the god next to her out of pity.
“……”
God had a frighteningly cold expression. However, it only looked like that on the outside, and lava was boiling inside the boy.
‘I will definitely get revenge. I will come back one day and kill you all…!’
Ugh!
Awesomeness flowed from the boy’s eyes as he looked at his friends hanging on the pole.
The great man glanced at the figure and then spoke with Genji again.
“What kind of person is Lord Takeda? “If you weren’t busy, I’d like to meet you…”
As soon as the lord’s name came out of the great man’s mouth, a proud smile appeared on Genji’s lips.
“Our lord? What a great person. “Do you know that no one has ever seen his real face?”
The great man responded with a surprised expression.
“Was that rumor true? Still, people around you probably saw it.”
“That sounds absurd. Who is Takeda? “It’s been a while since I saw him.”
Genji spoke in a friendly manner, as if he were the lord’s henchman. However, from what Daein heard from God, Genji was a human being who was far from being a lord’s henchman.
“The lord is always watching us from somewhere.”
Takeda Nobu.
He was the lord of Tribe Orochi and had the ability to possess the characteristics of [Doppelganger].
The characteristic [Doppelganger] was the ability to transform into an object if certain conditions were met.
But no one in the ‘modern era’ knew what those specific conditions were.
‘I was thinking of meeting you if I get a chance… but today will be difficult.’
Nobu Takeda was a feudal lord known for being cautious. Even if he changed his sleeping place every day and guests came, he rarely showed up in person.
Most orders were given through several confidants.
‘I guess I’ll have to negotiate with the Japanese government first and then come look for it.’
It was when Daein made that decision.
“But.”
Genji, who had been walking one step ahead, stopped and immediately looked back at Daein with an oily smile.
“Additional paperwork is required to pass the eastern wall.”
“What are you talking about?”
Although he had a good idea of what was going to be said, Daein asked back with a puzzled expression.
“no way. Why is my friend like this? “If I just use a little more effort, I can easily let you through.”
Genji tapped the great man on the shoulder with his thick arm. At that moment, the great man frowned without realizing it.
‘You pig-like bastard. ‘Greed…’
Daein sighed and spoke in a requesting tone.
“Please take a look. “I said earlier that that was too much.”
“Who comforted me more with the same thing? Please show at least a little sincerity. “Sincerity.”
Genji grinned and rubbed his palms. It seemed like it wouldn’t move from here unless something pricked it.
‘This kid is also a great guy in a way.’
“ha. “This really doesn’t work…”
The great man sighed and took out another magic stone from his pocket. It was an intermediate level magic stone that I had prepared in advance knowing this would happen.
“Hehe. As expected, I had something saved.”
It was time for Genji to snatch the magic stone and place it in his bosom.
Swish!
Suddenly, the great man raised his head and looked at the sky. Genji said with a puzzled expression upon seeing that.
“what’s the matter? There’s something there…”
Uuuuuuung!
It was a gate reaction. A red crack opened in the sky, and monsters fell out of it.
-Cow!
A red body as if covered in blood, nearly 5 meters tall.
A humanoid monster with abnormally long arms and two horns sprouting from both sides of its forehead.
However, that face was the image of a devil that I feared would appear in my dreams.
Kihihihi!
“Oh come on!”
“Why is the oni so big!”
“Run!”
Citizens nearby screamed and ran away. The giant oni swung the black bat in one hand sharply.
Whoa!
Everything in its path was shattered. The building exploded and the human body became even more miserable.
“Holy shit! What are you doing! “Shoot!”
Genji ordered, pushing the soldiers’ backs. The soldiers suddenly opened fire on the Oni.
Bang bang bang bang!
The bullet exploded like an egg hitting a rock. Oni felt a tickling sensation on his skin and turned to look at the soldiers.
“Hey!”
“Lord Genji!”
The soldiers looked back in surprise. They thought that Genji, who had ordered them to fire, would stop the huge oni.
However, what they saw was the back of Genji, who was already running away.
Incongruent with his massive body, Genji moved away at an incredible speed.
“이 개새끼야!”
“Are you still safe after that?”
The soldiers screamed. And soon they scattered and started running away.
But the Oni did not miss a single one of them.
Kwasik! Kwasik! Kwasik!
Just as a human kills the ants that bit him by stepping on them one by one, the Oni kills the soldiers by stepping on them one by one, crushing them with his hands, putting them in his hands and exploding them to death.
In an instant, the entire area was drenched in blood. The Oni, who had annihilated about ten soldiers, turned around.
Kihihihihi!
Where the laughter was directed, a great man was standing with an uneasy expression on his face.
“I really…”
I could see Tribe warriors running in the distance, leading their soldiers.
But by the time they arrived, the oni had already had enough time to attack the great people.
“Team Leader Joo.”
Daein turned his head and looked at Joo Sang-wook. Joo Sang-wook kept his mouth shut with a nervous expression.
“I don’t think I can pass quietly.”
Joo Sang-wook sighed with a heavy expression.
“…I can’t help it. “Please.”
Jerk.
The great man walked forward. As he stretched out his hand, his swords, which the soldiers had thrown away as they fled, flew into his hand.
“How is it that not a single day passes quietly?”
The great man grumbled and looked behind him. Kurodama Shin was seen leaning on Lily with a very tired expression.
‘It is said that trees that are ripe for growth are different starting from their cotyledons.’
Kihihihihi!
The oni ran towards him and swung his club sharply. The great man walked forward and crossed his arms holding his sword in an X shape.
“Come on… I just wanted to try this.”
And he bit the remaining one with his teeth. A soft voice came out through my clenched teeth.
“The Secret of the Three Swords.”
The energy flowing from the great man’s body flowed fiercely over the three swords, creating a terrifying shape.
Kihiiiiit-!
Sensing an unusual force, the Oni swung his club with all his might.
At that moment, Daein crossed his arms and shot forward like a bullet.
“…Behead the Oni!”
The new form of the great man and the giant oni crossed.
Fuwaaaaaaaaaa!
Blood spurted out like a fountain from the Oni’s chest, which was cracked in the shape of an X.
thud!
The giant oni that fell to the ground wriggled a few times and then stopped moving.
Tribe warriors and soldiers who were rushing over were shocked to see this.
“With this blow…!”
“Does that make sense?”
A warrior with formidable sword skills who can kill a giant oni with a single blow.
But no one knew his name.
The warrior who came with the troops asked, wary of Daein.
“Who are you!”
The great man looked back at them and spoke in a cold voice.
In a much lower voice than usual.
“Himura Kenshin.”
“…….”
At that moment, while everyone was speechless, Joo Sang-wook sighed softly and said.
“It’s a name that doesn’t fit the technology at all.”
“Because I can’t give up on both of them.”
Whatever the name, Daein’s group was invited to dinner that night.
It was an event hosted by Nobu Takeda, the lord of Tribe Orochi.
