Volume 7 - Mount Ooe: Chapter 77 – Shuten Doji attacks

“Shuten Doji!” it was difficult for Lily to suppress the fear in her heart.

Although Lily was now much stronger than before, just looking at Shuten Doji from a distance made her aware just how terrifyingly powerful this arch-demon was!

This arch-demon could probably destroy her with a flip of his hand.

This monstrous eldritch energy, what four fiendish kings? Even the strongest existence Lily had fought against, the Izumo sage, Tsubiro was nothing more than a child in front of Shuten Doji!

Shuten was many, many times stronger than the Izumo sage!

Big Dipper!

Lily couldn’t see through Shuten’s strength at all. Shuten was very likely to be in the legendary realm of the big dipper!

On the night of the Yoshitsune Memorial, the aura she had felt from Tamamo no Mae fighting Fujiwara no Ayaka was comparable to Shuten. Also, this was Shuten’s home base, she had killed his trusted aides here, naturally his rage was even more terrifying!

Even though her temperament was firm, she could not help but tremble and start feeling regret that she had the idea of coming to Mount Ooe.

Shuten’s power was so great it was having an impact on her state of mind.

“Kagami Lily, I originally valued you, but now, I only want to use the cruelest tortures to ravage you so that you beg for death! You shall feel eternal torment, in my hands!” His voice contained less charm and more cruelty, the cruelty of a lightning bolt about to split the earth!

Though scared, Lily had traveled to this point, there was no reason to surrender. Since she had arrived, no matter how far apart their strengths were, she would still fight!

Otherwise, why come!?

“Hu! Hu! Hu!”

Auras all comparable to Shuten Doji appeared in front of Lily. An incomparably dense demon cloud covered the entire cliff road.

Sugara no Michizane, Tamamo no Mae, Taira no Masakado, and racoon Mita appeared one by one.

“Shuten! You will pay for Ikeda’s daughter’s life!” Michizane eyes sparked with thunder and lightning, as he howled just like he had the last time they met in Kamakura.

Tamamo no Mae, Taira no Masakado and Mita all glared at Shuten, each radiating an eldritch aura not inferior to Shuten’s.

Shuten was instantly shocked, if these three peak existences teamed up and attacked Mount Ooe, then it would be a lethal danger!

“Hmph! What a good trick, to think Kagami Lily came up with such a trick!”

But who was Shuten Doji? What realm, what insight did he have? Of the three supreme powerhouses, only Mita’s aura was close enough to be real. After a quick inspection, Shuten could see through the flaws in the other three

¹, as for Mita, Shuten discovered that the one in front of him was a little bit different despite being very similar.

“I didn’t think Kagami Lily would be able to create such illusions! I was almost tricked! Kagami Lily, you are the world’s most hateful woman, I will definitely use the cruelest methods to torture you!” Shuten silently decided.

“Go!” Shuten jumped onto the large gourd and flew towards the three great powerhouses.

The stopper on the gourd popped out and the mouth of the gourd produced an incredible suction. The three great powerhouse incarnations were directly sucked into the gourd.

“Ahahahahaha! As expected of small tricks. I wonder what the wine made from these three phantom supreme powerhouses tastes like?”

Mita was an incarnation with the power of a throned sovereign and wasn’t so simply sucked into the gourd.

“Hm? This Mita isn’t a phantom?”

Within Shuten’s hand a golden halberd appeared, this was Shuten’s weapon, Kurokinsui!

“Although these are nothing but phantoms, it’s still a pleasure to kill those three annoying b?a?s?t?a?r?d?s?!”

Shuten leapt up and jumped towards Mita, the golden halberd in his hand whistled through the air.

The golden halberd cut through the air surrounded by a golden molten stream, it was like an extremely corrosive golden liquor. If it touched ordinary steel, it would melt instantaneously, it was impossible to block.

The blade of the halberd seemed to cut right through Mita’s staff before slicing through his body.

The incarnation of Mita could counter Ibaraki Doji for a few minutes, but facing Shuten, a simple random move was enough to destroy it!

Raccoon Mita disappeared.

The eldritch aura flared out, creating a powerful wind that pushed Lily over, her skirt was blown up revealing her snowy white thighs.

Shuten looked on in intertest, his lust igniting. Of course, he didn’t want to kill Lily so he turned his halberd over and smashed the long handle towards her.

On the ground, Lily forcibly resisted with her long sword.

“Hmph! B?i?t?c?h?, you finally landed in my hands!”

Shuten’s strike was absolutely terrifying, it was not a blow Lily could defend against!

Bang!

The power of Shuten’s Kurokinsui smashed against Lily’s blade, and as if not encountering any resistance, sliced right through both blade and person, and hit the ground. Poof! Lily turned into a puff of smoke as the blow wrecked a thousand meters of mountain road!

“What!???”

Shuten watched as the smoke seemed to turn into the shadow of a tiny raccoon before disappearing.

“What?? Illusion!??”

Perhaps Shuten could have seen through it if he had bothered to look, but the sight of Lily’s snowy white thighs being revealed had interfered with his judgment

².

Shuten had not imagined that not only were the three great arch-demons Lily summoned, but she herself would also be a phantom conjured by a little raccoon.

Then…where is the real Lily!??

Shuten roared angrily, the soundwave blew away all the surrounding smoke, but he could see nothing in the skies or land. Mount Ooe was the same, as were the cliff roads, and the great abyss.

He couldn’t see Lily anywhere.

“Disappeared!??”

Shuten immediately deployed his spirit probes, domain exploration and also activated the various formations of Mount Ooe, but there was no trace of Lily.

At Lily’s realm, it was impossible to escape the range of his detection in this short amount of time!

“What’s going on? How did Kagami Lily disappear into thin air!??” Shuten stood on top of a cliff looking around in disbelief.

At this time, far behind Shuten, near the road towards Mount Ooe, Lily stood there holding the Sakura Parasol

³ looking at Shuten

⁴.

“Hmph.” Lily gave a cold snort and ignored Shuten’s violent rage, turned and ran towards Mount Ooe.

What sort of existence was Shuten Doji? No matter how much Lily wanted to rescue sister Uesugi, she didn’t plan on dying in vain. She had never thought about fighting Shuten Doji.

Facing Shuten, Lily had summoned such amazing phantoms just to provide herself cover and bypass him.

But if Lily had also disappeared, then Shuten would definitely discover her plan. So she left behind a raccoon transformed into her image and gave the impression of fright and helplessness when the three incarnations were destroyed, attracting most of Shuten’s attention.

In fact, at that time, Lily had long opened the Sakura Parasol and snuck behind Shuten.
