Chapter 124 [Open the door]
Everyone turned to look at the figure who had appeared behind them at some point, and looked at him sideways.
The man was wearing tattered blood-red clothes. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the clothes were originally orange, but were stained red by blood, and red sparks were flickering on his body.
The figure was standing there quietly at this moment, with the transformed owl perched on his shoulder, and a headband with burning sparks fell in front of his eyes, slightly covering his eyes, but everyone still felt a burning gaze sweeping over them.
In his hand he held a large black sword with sharp edges on both sides. The lotus-shaped blade guard was exquisitely crafted, as if it was not a weapon but an exquisite ceremonial vessel.
But the other party showed no intention of taking action, as if he was waiting for something.
During the confrontation, Busui quickly discovered a clue. The man opposite him, who exuded an ominous aura, was in a state very much like a mad wolf, similar to his state when he fought Kokushibo.
And looking closely, although the man in front of him was untidy and unkempt, he was somewhat similar to a wolf, except that he was a little older.
So he quickly looked at the wolf, hoping to learn something from his expression, but what he saw was the wolf's slightly dazed look.
At this moment, the wolf had already turned around and looked at the figure. It was unknown whether it was the effect of the battle residue or the ability used by the other party, but a series of pictures flashed through the wolf's mind and finally formed a complete segment.
The scene starts with Wolf not suppressing his desire to kill and following his adoptive father's ninja rules. The scene at the beginning is exactly the same as what Wolf has seen before.
He killed Miss Yongzhen... and Master Yixin...
Just as the former Sword Saint of Ashina, now old and feeble, knelt on the ground helplessly, he said those words.
"Sekiro... I couldn't... kill you..."
Afterwards, he fell to the ground lifeless, but at this moment, a scene that the wolf had never seen before happened.
In the burning castle tower, Wolf stood beside the dead Isshin and looked at his corpse expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking. But at this moment, an old voice sounded behind him.
"…It took a little time, but it can be considered a great achievement."
The burly figure of the godfather appeared behind the wolf, and what he was holding in his hand was the black Undead Sword [Open the Door]!
He walked slowly towards the wolf and saw Yi Xin's corpse lying on the ground. A trace of sigh flashed across his face. While speaking, he put the thing in his other hand on the ground.
"Even though Yi Xin is old, he was able to defeat him..."
As he spoke, he stood up, leaned close to the ear of the wolf, who had remained silent, and whispered softly, suppressing the joy of a great victory.
“…You are worthy of being my son.”
After saying that, he walked towards the railing of the castle tower in front of him, and the wolf also turned his head slightly to look at the thing he placed on the floor.
A ball of black hair wrapped a round object, and blood was oozing out from where it touched the floor. The thing that the adoptive father was holding was exactly the head of Ashina Genichirō!
"..."
As always…the wolf said nothing.
At this moment, my adoptive father was holding the black Immortal Sword and walking towards the edge of the castle tower.
Wow!
The fire in the castle tower was still burning fiercely. Amid the sound of burning wooden boards, Xiao's expression gradually became excited. He had always longed for attention, and now he could finally stand in front of the world.
"This way, everything is in my hands!"
"Whether it's Ashina or the Imperial Household..."
"Look at me, I will devour everything, including this land!"
After saying that, Owl had already come to the edge of the castle tower, because this was the only way to let Ashina Kuroyoru appear in front of him and put the whole world in his eyes!
Seeing everything in front of him finally belong to him, Xiao shouted excitedly.
"I am! Ukonzuo Utsui...cough!"
Before he could announce his name to the world, a sharp blade pierced through his chest and stabbed into his heart precisely, just like what he did to his adopted son Wolf three years ago...
“Ah…Ah…”
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He trembled and used his big hands to hold the knife that pierced his heart tightly. However, the slippery feeling of the warm blood on the knife made it impossible for him to hold the knife tightly, just like the world could not stay in his hands...
He turned his head in disbelief and looked at the expressionless wolf behind him, shocked at how his loyal adopted son could do such a thing.
"W-why are you..."
Is it interest or simple betrayal?
But when he saw the killing intent in the wolf's eyes, his eyes widened and he realized it was too late. He could only let out a trembling roar before dying...
“Shura…!”
boom!
The huge figure fell to his knees, smashing the wooden floor with a loud bang.
At this moment, Kuro, the son of God, who was imprisoned in the son of God's chamber, finally broke free from his restraints and escaped from the raging fire, coming to look for his ninja.
But when he raised his eyes, he saw corpses all over the ground and Wolf who had picked up the black Undead Sword from his adoptive father. Although Wolf's face was expressionless, as the son of Dragon chosen by the Dragon God, he had a premonition in his heart at this moment.
But he still couldn't believe that the ninja wolf that had been with him for so long would turn into a monster that only knew how to kill. With a trembling voice and a hint of pleading, he shouted loudly to the wolf with its back to him.
“…No, you are not…You are not, Shura…”
But this was just his wishful thinking... everything had already been settled...
hum!
With the sound of a knife, Wolf swung the [Open Door] in his hand, and the Shura Fire burned on his prosthetic hand. He looked straight at Ashina in the darkness. In his eyes, all life was something that could not exist.
Even if... it's that special person behind me...
In the burning castle tower, Wolf… no, Shura turned his head slightly to look at the life behind him that was particularly eye-catching in his eyes…
The scene stopped abruptly...
call!call!
The wolf suddenly came to his senses, like a drowning man being rescued, gasping for breath, looking at the figure of the man in front of him and the familiar black sword in his hand, and murmured softly.
"Shura..."
Wolf knew that everything in the picture was what really happened in the world after he made another choice, but he still didn't expect that after he killed Miss Yongzhen and Lord Isshin, he would also kill his adoptive father.
Even in the end... I'm afraid the Son of God is in danger...
However, facing him, my own situation was also extremely bad...
Thinking of this, Wolf looked at the black Undying Slash [Open the Door] in the opponent's hand and the red Undying Slash [Bai Lei] on his back with fear, thinking about what to do...
The Undead Slash, which possesses the power to sever immortality, can kill all the undead, even wolves with the power of Dragon's Blood...
Just as the wolf was thinking, Shura, who had been standing still on the opposite side, took action after sensing the return of the wolf's consciousness.
I saw the other party swung the [Open Door] in his hand, lifted it to his shoulder, and stroked the blade with his other hand. In an instant, dark karma gushed out from the blade!
The wolf also reacted instantly to what the other party was going to do, but the distance was too close and with the unknown reason of Busei and his group behind him, the wolf could not dodge. He had to grit his teeth and pull out a portion of [God's Flying Snow] from his arms.
Regardless of the amount, he sprinkled it on himself, and pink-purple flames ignited above Lang and Xiewan. Lang stood with a knife in his hand, his face calm, his eyes fixed on Shura who had begun to twist his waist.
"bring it on……"
