Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 316 The Top of Mount Fuji

The top of Mount Fuji is covered with snow.

"We have already missed the best time to sneak in..." a man said.

"Just to take a look at the situation, don't stress too much," said another.

"There is movement ahead." The last person in the team retreated into the shadows, and the other two also retreated into the shadows.

They are vampires, vampires of the Coexistence Society.

The reason they came here was simple, as long as Merens was here for one day, they would not leave.

In other words, they'd rather work for the exorcists for Melans' freedom.

Sure enough, after a while, slight footsteps came from the front, and several monsters stepped forward.

They all look more like human beings, or body like, or face like, these are relatively advanced monsters, already have human form.

After the demons left, the three of them "crawled" out of the shadows, their already pale faces even paler.

"Blood...where is the blood bag?" A person suddenly fell to his knees.

"Here." Someone took out a bag of blood from the small backpack he was carrying and told him to drink it hastily.

The special abilities of the three of them allow them to easily escape into the shadows, and the concealment effect is excellent, but the disadvantage is that they consume a lot of blood and quickly.All the way to evade, they don't have many blood bags left, but it doesn't matter, as long as they confirm the location of the ghost gate, they will escape as quickly as possible.

Clouds and mist shrouded the mountains, and the temperature dropped sharply.

"We have arrived... This is the top of Mount Fuji... But I didn't see any trace of the ghost gate." The vampire said.

The fog in the morning was very heavy, the surrounding area was a vast expanse of whiteness, and there was nothing in the surrounding area.

The three carefully searched around, but strangely, there was no sign of life here.

During their journey here, there were countless monsters, and it took a lot of effort to get here, but there was no one guarding the area where there should be ghost gates.

"Is the information wrong?" One of them said, "Maybe the ghost gate is not here at all..."

At this moment, an unspeakable heat wave hit from nowhere, and there was a smell of sulfur in it.

The fog in the morning dissipated when it was heated, as if it had been blown away.

The scenery in front of them appeared in front of them, surrounded by plains, only Mount Fuji rising from the ground.Although the altitude is only more than 3000 meters, standing on the mountain section, there is a feeling of overlooking the world, which reminds people of Takahashi Chongmaro's poems.

"Jiawen and Suruga, during the period when Fuji was established. The mountains are high and cloudy, but it is difficult for birds to climb over the top. The fire is extinguished by falling snow, and the snow is reduced by the melting of fire."

But the three of them had no time to appreciate the scenery at the moment, and there was definitely something wrong with the heat wave just now.

The temperature at the top of Mount Fuji hovers around -6.4 degrees Celsius all year round, and even in the hottest month, the average temperature will not be higher than 6 degrees Celsius.And the heat wave just now not only instantly melted the fog condensed by the cold air, but also melted a lot of snow.

The mountain vibrated extremely slightly, and the three vampires became more vigilant than ever, while looking at the highest point of Mount Fuji - the crater.

A terrible idea spread in the hearts of the three at the same time, but no one spoke.

They looked at each other, and then cut off the communication with the stronghold, because the next conversation could not be heard by the exorcists.

"What should I do? The heat wave just now... can only come from there?"

"Want to see it?"

"I think it's better not to... How could the monster crawl out of that kind of place? It's full of magma!!"

"Yes, let's go back and say that we have found it. The location of the ghost gate is here... Anyway, there is no other place."

"But what if it's not? Won't the exorcists become angry? The life of Lord Merlens is in their hands, and the head of the exorcist put a curse on him! If something is wrong, they will know that we are It was fabricated casually, and the life of Lord Merens will be lost at that time!!"

"So... we have to go?"

"I'll just go, just go and have a look, nothing will happen..." The voice of the speaker was a little trembling.

The ghost gate is a channel that connects the two worlds inside and outside. Once you go to check it, you might bump into a monster that just crawled out.

And as the opening of the ghost gate accelerated, the monsters crawling out of it became stronger and stronger. Those monsters that looked like humans before were the best proof.

"I'll go with you! I can't let you go alone!"

"Me too."

The remaining two thought about it and decided not to be left behind.

They can't do such a thing as abandoning their companions to live on their own.

After the communication was restored, an inquiry came from the other end immediately.

"What happened, why was the communication cut off?"

"It's just that the communication at the top of Mount Fuji is not good. We have adjusted it. Damn it, don't talk to me in this tone of questioning the prisoner. I'm almost at the gate of hell!"

"Come on, please." The exorcist on the other side heard that they were about to find the gate of hell, and their voice softened a lot.

They continued to climb towards the crater, and the higher they went, the more they could hear the liquid flowing and the sound like bubbles popping.

After a while, they finally reached the crater.

The scorching heat scorched their faces, making them involuntarily use their hands to cover them.

Through their fingers, they saw a spectacular scene.

The crater of Mt. Fuji was originally a low-lying basin, but now it has completely changed. The basin no longer exists and is replaced by a deep cavity. The lava below the cavity is slowly rolling, like a stagnant river, and Like a slowly wriggling worm.From time to time, bubbles would pop on the surface of the magma, and the red magma would hit the hard rock, and the color would gradually dim.

And under the magma, hands protruded from it, and the body of the demon gate slowly emerged from the depths of the magma, and then climbed upwards, like a group of devils pouring into the world from hell.

But they were all unconscious, with their eyes closed or half-open, like living corpses.

"Report, we have found the location of the ghost gate."

"It's great, thank you, let's go back now!" The exorcist's voice was very excited.

"Why is this happening?" Someone asked looking at the monsters.

"Want to know?"

Suddenly, a steady voice appeared from behind.

Before the three of them had time to turn their heads, they saw the light of the knife flashing down, and the limbs of the three vampires were severed, only relying on the broken thighs to support their bodies.

"Because the door has not been fully opened, people who have been in the dark for a long time and want to come out will inevitably be blinded by the bright light." The man wearing an ancient warrior uniform said.

The exorcist's voice kept coming out of the communicator, but no one answered.

"Who are you?"

"This is not important to the dead." The man said, "But you came at the right time, because next, the door that absorbs the power of lightning will be completely opened, so let's enjoy the scenery."
