7 Pest Control (II)

That is the day Kojiro meets the villain from the Worm Universe. While it was not the same Lung as the Worm Universe, the power that Lung has is the same as his counterpart in the Worm Universe, albeit a little bit more powerful. Lung was not the only one that had the same power as their counterpart in the Worm Universe. Three days ago, Kojiro also encountered another Stray Devil that has the same name and power as the villain in the Worm Universe. That day also the same day Kojiro went into berserk mode.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~3 days ago~

After fighting Lung, Kojiro began focusing on his Inspired Inventor to develop more of the offensive specialty. If he encounters another enemy like Lung, then he needs to prepare for the worst. So on the first day after he killed Lung, Kojiro created a specialty in Endurance Training (1/115), so he can create a training machine to train his Endurance. He also adds more points into Anti-Magic Weapon (3/300), Anti-Magic Armor (3/275), Penetration (2/100), and lastly, Pocket Dimension (2/800).

The next day, Kojiro adds more points into Endurance Training (2/115), Anti-Magic Weapon (4/300), Anti-Magic Armor (4/275), Penetration (3/100), and lastly Light Armor (2/75).

With those specialties, Kojiro creates a device that helps him increase his Endurance. The first device he creates is a device that restrains his muscle and makes all his muscles feel like he was getting beaten by an elephant. Kojiro decided that he would only use this device before going to sleep.

He is also able to permanently modify his Weapon to have an effect of Anti-Magic because of his Anti-Magic Weapon specialty. With a combination of Anti-Magic Armor and Light Armor Speciality, Kojiro can make an armor that looks like the servant cloth that he wears when summoned but with the effect of Anti-Magic on it. Sadly, while his armor is immune up to Medium-High magic, It was not immune to an elemental attack, so he can't tank an attack like Lung Fire.

His Penetration specialty becomes a big boon to him, as right now, his sword can penetrate even the skin of Heracles Berserker if he wants to. His Penetration specialty also informs him in the form of a blueprint that his sword can Penetrate even Divine Magic. Kojiro didn't know if it was true or not, but he didn't want to try it out himself.

Lastly, his Pocket Dimensions are grown bigger and reach 10 meters cubic in size. While he can store many more items inside, Kojiro still can't store a living being inside of it unless he wants the creature to die because of the Void.

This morning, Kojiro created another specialty; Simulation (1/500). With Simulation and Pocket Dimension, Kojiro creates a room for his training where he can summon a training dummy. Sadly the Fighting simulation room is only able to summon an enemy with a strength of Mid-Class being. Luckily the room can summon up to 100 enemies so he can keep his fighting skill sharp.

He spent the rest of his charges on; Cooking (2/17), Miniaturization (2/100), Magecraft (2/175), and Martial Arts (3/90).

As the Cafe is closed because this is Sunday and he needs to restock the ingredients and have some relaxing time alone, Kojiro walks around the park in Kyoto. While walking on the street of Kyoto, he sees a group of Karasu Tengu flying high in the sky toward the southeast of Kyoto. Kojiro decides to follow them, and after running for a minute, he arrives at a Temple. The temple is located in the middle of a forest where he could feel rich natural energy around it.

Kojiro continues to follow the Karasu Tengu, and after a few seconds, he hears the sounds of people fighting something big. He looked at the fighting scene where he could see many Karasu Tengu already fallen to the one they were fighting. Kojiro looks at the one they are fighting against and sees a giant man with red skin.

Kojiro looks at the fight and knows that the Karasu Tengu will lose against that monstrosity. However, before Kojiro can help them, he stops at his step as he looks at what is behind the giant man. Behind him is a corpse of many children that, by looking at it, is freshly eaten. Kojiro didn't know what happened next as the next thing he saw was red.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

His name is Sanada Teruuji, the chief of the Royal Guard and the Clan Head to Karasu-Tengu. Currently, he is fighting against one of the most dangerous Stray Devil in Japan, Russel the Crimson. He is known for his habit of kidnapping children and his last fight against Tiamat, the Dragon King, with his physical prowess alone.

Many of Youkai clan elder and Clan Head already make a petition to banish the Devil on their land. Sadly Amaterasu-sama says that they can't do that as the number of Stray Devil that keeps increasing in Japan they can't cancel the agreement between Devil and Shinto faction.

The agreement between Shinto and Devil Faction is the reason why Tokyo and Kyoto are still standing. With the help of Satan Lucifer, they can defeat an army of Stray Devil that attack Tokyo a year ago. They are also the reason why many Youkai are still alive as the Sitri family is known for their medical knowledge.

The Shinto faction is too busy dealing with the Stray Devil that keep coming to Japan as they have one goal in mind. The Ley Lines of Kyoto. Kyoto Ley Line is known for its richness in supplying the city Mana and also empowering Yasaka-sama so she can go toe to toe against the High Satan Class Devil. The Kyoto Ley Line became our most blessed object and also the most cursed. While the Ley Line makes the land more fertile, it also brings a negative intention to Japan.

Many Stray Devil tries to take it by force, but they get defeated by the power of Amaterasu-sama and Susanoo-Sama. The other Gods also help them fight the Stray Devil, but they keep coming, even Amaterasu-Sama and Susanoo-Sama can't continue to fight all of them. That's why they sign the contract to let the Devil Faction have Kuoh in exchange; they help them against the incoming invasion of Stray Devil that is gathering on the outside of Kyoto.

Sanada Teruuji snaps from his thought as one of the soldiers gets thrown off by the Crimson. His order is to hold Russel for half an hour as Yasaka-sama gathers the energy from the Ley Lines to fight him. Sanada Teruuji didn't know how long they could hold him as Russel already gathered a stock of Children from the orphan outside Kyoto as his back up power.

Before Sanada Teruuji can tell his troops to get back, he sees a man appear in front of the Crimson and slice his arms easily.

"ARRRRGGGGHHHH"

Russel continued to scream at his arm that was just cut off by the man in front of him. The man wears a traditional light purple umanori hakama and kimono, light purple tabi, and black geta with purple haori and tekkou. Sasaki Kojiro is the man's name. The man that also single-handedly kills Lung the Dragon even though Lung already reaches a height of 14 meters tall and has a fire breath that can melt a stone.

*SPLURT*

Sanada Teruuji looks at The Crimson and sees that Russel loses another one of his arms. He looks at the face of Sasaki Kojiro and suddenly has a shiver on his back. The look Kojiro has is the expression of a cold fury where a person is not showing his real emotion but the cold-blooded killer that did not show any emotion. Sanada Teruuji never knew that Sasaki Kojiro, the man that speaks with a gentle voice, has the dark side that makes him shiver just by looking at it.

"ARRRGGGHHH"

Crimson tries to get his back up power, but before he can reach his victim…

*SPLURT*

...Sasaki Kojiro already cut him in half.
