Chapter 213 – Nurarihyon vs. Devil Troops [2]

In the midst of a chaotic battlefield, a man with strange long hair laughed as he cut the opponents that surrounded him while laughing.

His body was covered with a strange black cloud of smoke, and his opponent seemed to not be able to touch him at all. Once, a magic bullet hit his body. His opponent cheered, thinking that he had been done for. However, his body then dissipated and gone, confusing his opponent.

The next thing his opponent knew was that he reappeared behind the one who shot the magic bullet and cut him cleanly in half. If one described him, he was agile like an eel and couldn't be touched like the reflection of the moon.

That man's name was Nurarihyon.

"HAHAHAHAHA! The devils this day are too weak! Your ancestor will cry in the realm of death, you know?!" He was laughing hard as he cut his opponent.

If his son, Riku, saw this spectacle. He would surely hold his head and mutter, 'This damned old man.'

But, his son was not there. He was busy interrogating the leader of those devils. So, Nurarihyon could rampage as much as he could.

"Stop him! If we can't stop him, we will die!"

"Shoot the magic bullets! Don't stop! Just shot everywhere!"

"Don't mind us! Just find his real body!"

A lot of devils shouted one after another. They didn't care for each other again, focusing only on hitting Nurarihyon for one to release their stress. A barrage of magic bullets was shot everywhere, hitting even the devils, creating more chaos.

They ran around frantically, attacking everywhere with their weapons, even an empty air. They had no way to find Nurarihyon in the middle of the chaos. They were devils who couldn't use Fear, and they were scared of Nurarihyon's fame and power.

Meanwhile, the one that they were searching for, Nurarihyon, was looking at the chaos from above. He sat in the air while resting his head on his hand. He rested his blade on his lap and was amused by the sight below.

"Well, it's so easy to throw them into chaos. Just a bit of shake-up, and they killed each other in order to find me." He snickered while watching the devils being killed by stray magic bullets.

Some devils used fire to burn the air above and even below, but they couldn't reach Nurarihyon. The stronger devils used rays of demonic energy that they shot at random places and caused a lot of explosions.

They fought with each other and forgot their real goal, finding Nurarihyon.

"Kukuku, it's been a long time since I pulled on a prank on an army like this. But, that little brat will underestimate me if I don't wipe them out before he comes back."

He showed himself in the sky, pulling back his technique. He grinned, waved his hand, and shouted.

"Hey, what are you doing? I am up here, idiots!"

The devils below suddenly stopped and looked up. Their numbers had been reduced by more than half, leaving only around 1/4 of the troops alive.

When they saw Nurarihyon in the sky waving his hand calmly with a grin on his face, they suddenly flew into mad rages. They looked at him and cursed.

"Nurarihyon!!! You son of a bitch!"

"Come here, you coward!"

"Fuck you!"

Some of them raised their middle fingers at him, but Nurarihyon didn't care about it and instead pulled out his smoke pipe. He put the pipe in his mouth and calmly blew smoke from his mouth.

"I heard that a million times already. Why don't you make some new lines, huh?"

The enemies turned silent until one of the devils pointed at Nurarihyon.

"You fucking youkai with a strange head!"

At that moment, the battlefield heard a snap sound. They turned their head above and noticed that the pipe that Nurarihyon's held was held in half.

A vein popped up from his temple, and a scary black aura appeared from his back. His hair swayed by the wind, further creating a scary atmosphere around him.

"Who said that earlier?" His voice turned cold as ice as he gazed down without a smile.

The remaining troops were scared. They involuntarily retreated when they saw Nurarihyon.

Slowly, he stood up and gripped his sword while throwing away the pipe that had been snapped in half. His blade was covered with the same aura that appeared around his body.

"It seems you brat needs to be taught a lesson." He swung his sword, black flying slash flew toward one part of the army, cutting more than a dozen devils in half. He didn't even prepare anything for his slash, only pure power. "Come here, brats! I will tell you how amazing I am!"

"K-K-Kill him! Kill him now!" One of the devils managed to shake off his fear toward Nurarihyon and shouted, but he was too late, as Nurarihyon had already gone from the sky.

Unlike when they could see his fake earlier, he was now entirely gone. They couldn't even remember why they were here and who killed their allies that now littered the ground like trashes. The brown ground had turned red from their allies' blood.

But, what happened in the next moment answered their question. A single presence suddenly appeared in the middle of the remaining troops. The presence was scary, and they couldn't move their body.

It was Nurarihyon, and he was holding a big red sake cup in his hand, filled to the brim, as his left hand was holding his sword and rested its blade on his shoulder.

He took a breath, and it was audible through the battlefield.

"Fuu–"

The devils around him gulped, but then they snapped and dashed to him.

"Haaa!!"

"Diee!!"

"I will take your head!"

They were shouting a lot of different words, but the next words from Nurarihyon stopped them, literally.

"Secret Technique: Meikyo Shisui, 'Sakura'" He then blew into his cup, and a torrent of blue flame spread from the ripple of sake in his cup, engulfing all enemies around him.

Some of the devils who had good intuitions were trying to run, but it was too late. The blue flame chased after them and burned them to ash.

The flame was spread according to Nurarihyon's will, burning his enemies into ash in less than ten seconds. As the ripple died down, the flame also disappeared, leaving ashes falling down from the sky.

"That's why I am the coolest person, brats." Muttered Nurarihyon in the middle of ash rain.
