It's a power, not a spell

Although Nakahara Chuya had a vague illusion of seeing Gojo Satoru before, he never thought that this 'illusion' was not an illusion.

The white-haired conjurer didn't wear the black uniform. The zipper of the short jacket was open, revealing the black round-neck bottoming shirt inside, and the collarbone was clearly visible.

He slowly lowered his raised hand, and the blood and flesh fell down, but it didn't stain him at all. Those pale eyes stained with the night looked over——

"Is this considered a hero saving the beauty?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also heard his slightly frivolous voice.

A warm touch came from the side of his face, Gojo Satoru appeared in front of him, with an ambiguous and soft smile, he reached out and gently wiped away the blood stained on his face.

"——The first time we met, I am Gojo Wu, just call me 'Wu'."

Go back to an hour ago.

The leader spoke out his itinerary for the day.He went to many places, after all, to 'buy goods'.

After Zhongyuan Zhong also determined that he did not have the courage to lie, he kicked him unconscious, and then said his decision, "Go to the place where he 'shipped' first."

Even if the monster is not there, he will take it there.

Takashi Natsume agrees.

Nakahara Chuya said again: "We will set off after calling the police."

The dead person was buried without a mobile phone, so Mori Ogai thoughtfully prepared one, but sent it directly to the apartment.

But they were lucky, they came to the uninhabited suburbs, before reaching the abandoned warehouse by the sea, the Central Plains also sensed a strange aura that suddenly appeared.

This is probably "monster gas".

The air seemed to be filled with the smell of blood.

Madara's expression turned serious—though he couldn't tell the difference, he said, "That guy's 'eating'. Still a lot."

It stands to reason that if there is a big monster in Yokohama and comes out to eat people from time to time, it is impossible for him not to find it.Because when it uses human flesh and blood to increase its strength, it is impossible to completely hide its breath.

But the fact is that he didn't find out.It wasn't until he saw the human with traces of monster power on his body that he noticed the bloody smell in that power that made even monsters startle.

To reach this concentration, even if this monster only relies on kowtowing, it is already at the level of a big monster.That's why he didn't want Takashi Natsume to take risks.But who made the current Natsume different from before.

Natsume Takashi, who had consulted Famous Monday, is no longer as easy to deceive as before, and he can also distinguish evil spirits.

Strictly speaking, the existence of monsters means that things in the world have a "spirit". It can absorb the spiritual power in nature and become a big monster. If it gains enough beliefs, it is a "god".

And if it kills other beings—this is a shortcut to quickly increase its strength, but danger is always accompanied by opportunities. The more this method is used, the more it will fall into madness, and finally become an existence that can only kill.

"Eat?"

Madara replied, "It's eating people."

eat human.What kind of people are they eating?

It's not just the scum of that business that's out there, but the innocent victims they bring back.

Nakahara Chuya frowned slightly, and speeded up his pace in unison with Natsume Takashi.

-

Monsters originally had no names.

It was born in the blue ocean and lived in the quiet seabed.

It likes the view of the sun shining through the clear water when it looks up, and also likes the friendly animals on the bottom of the sea. It likes to swim around with a half-sized killer whale.

After learning the word 'friend' from other monsters, it became friends with the killer whale.

until they come across a ship.

The killer whale approached curiously, and the humans on the boat quickly discovered it. Maybe they thought it was trying to overturn their boat, or it was just for fun. In short, they killed it and hung its young body on the deck bask in the sun.

The friend stared at the sky with unsatisfied eyes, and the monster who survived because he couldn't be seen stood beside the railing and heard the hearty laughter of humans.

The monster hates humans, they kill its friends.But it's too weak to do anything.

It returned to the bottom of the sea shortly after, where it was born.

Later, countless ships came and went on the sea above his head, and the clear water became cloudy day by day, with strange human garbage floating around.

It lay on the seabed and could see nothing.

Monsters start to hate humans.

It gained strength by eating a drowned crew member one day.

As more and more people ate it, the power of the monster became stronger, and it even named itself "Haigen".

Haigen sank every ship that passed above his head, and gradually this place became the famous Dead Sea. Humans no longer set foot in it, and the turbid sea regained its former tranquility and beauty.

But this is far from enough, humans are still polluting its home where he can't see it.That's why Haigen is determined to destroy human beings. In this way, he can safely make friends and swim freely in the crystal clear ocean.

It is very smart, it knows that there are many strong people among human beings, at least the current self cannot defeat it.After long-term observation, it chooses to be stationed near the port, and it specializes in attacking the "bad guys" that some humans call "bad guys".They themselves are in the gray area of ​​human beings, no matter how many they disappear, they will not attract the attention of human beings.

Not long ago, it came to Yokohama.

Haigen gradually became stronger.But I don't know when... the second half of the target gradually faded away, leaving only the thoughts of "eating humans" and "becoming stronger" in its mind.

And as it grows in power, and has been unnoticed by humans for so long, its behavior has gradually become more presumptuous.

On this day, it was going to eat a certain "human|trafficking organization" that had been marked a month ago. One of the children they abducted|trafficked had spiritual power. Although it was not powerful, Haigen didn't want to let it go.They were going to take the 'goods' away in the middle of the night, so Haigen made a move.

Soon, an existence like a light bulb in the dark appeared in his range of perception. The strength of that kind of spiritual power was many times stronger than that of that child.

Just like the porridge overflowing with fragrance in front of a person who has been hungry for three days, such an existence, for a monster like Haigen who grew up eating people to the present, is no different from a crazy delicacy.

It has been decided, it will be today, it will turn all the human beings in this city into its own nourishment, and then turn the human beings in the whole world into nourishment.But before that, it first has to...

— eat him!

"Natsume!"

The incarnation of the monster in the shape of a beckoning cat didn't care about talking, he opened his mouth to bite the clothes of the two people, and flew them into the sky.

'Boom! ! '

The purple-red tentacles with blood-colored patterns almost slid past his paws, the powerful force left deep holes in the ground, Madara gasped, "Hiss—"

"This guy...it was a disguise before, and its body has been hidden in the sea!"

The demon power instantly rose to a terrifying level, and on the coast not far from them, under the dim moonlight, a huge monster slowly rose from the sea.

The sound of sea water rushing down from above can be clearly heard.

It's getting foggy.Maybe it wasn't fog either.

The clouds in the night sky parted, and the bright moonlight fell, stained dark red with blood.

The smell of blood in the air became thicker and thicker, to the point where it was hard to breathe.

The tentacle that missed the blow slowly squirmed, and Zhong Yuanzhong also noticed that the densely carved lines on it turned out to be eyes. Under the bright moonlight, those eyes seemed to have a vivid luster, staring straight at them. To some disgusting.

Those who survived by luck|traffickers ran around rolling and crawling.

The monster's body began to move towards the land.The dark sea water created huge waves with its movements, and even the ground trembled.

With the sea and the land as the dividing line, the "fog" on the other side of the sea stagnates here, and with the good night vision ability in the Central Plains, his sight penetrates the hazy blood fog—the sea around the monster, the turbulent waves , It's not sea water at all, it's countless densely packed tentacles surging.His intuition told him that if he let this guy go ashore, it would definitely be very troublesome.

With the ebb and flow of the tide, the blood-colored moonlight seems to be flowing, eagerly trying to cross the dividing line between the sea and the shore.

Madara temporarily hovered in mid-air, "Natsume, this guy is not something you can deal with.——You are not an opponent either, shorty."

Its power is almost a little stronger than when it was in its heyday.

...How many people have to eat to have this level of bloody smell?This is the first time even he has seen it.If Gao Tianyuan was still there, those gods would have formed a group to kill it, how could it be allowed to grow to this point.

"Huh?" The short one, Zhong Yuanzhong also provoked a smile, with a little annoyance, "So you are afraid, fat cat?"

Madara Zhamao, "I'm not afraid! It's just a mere sea worm! If it wasn't for the seal, I could kill this trash fish with my bare hands!"

"That means we can't fight now." Zhong Yuanzhong also understood.

Natsume Takashi could also feel the thick, bloody monster power in the air. This kind of power is indeed not something he can deal with now, but, "We can't ignore those ordinary people."

Most of those who escaped just now were 'traders', and the kidnapped victims were unable to move easily, and they were probably still inside.

In the short time of the conversation, another tentacle attacked one after another.The monster itself will soon land, and there is not much time left for them.

"Fat cat, try to get as close as possible to the fourth warehouse over there." That's where the 'goods' are stored.Zhongya Nakahara grabbed the hair on Madara's back and made a gesture of preparing to jump. He looked at Natsume, "Let this monster be handed over to the exorcist. Those guys from the Secret Service Section have something to do with it. They don't know what's going on here. We won’t notice. If we save ordinary people, we will run away immediately, and if it’s too late, we will also run away when the monster lands.”

The leadership momentum displayed by the young man with red hair at this moment is subconsciously convincing, Natsume Takashi nodded solemnly, "I understand."

"Hey! What's that natural command tone? I'm not your little brother." Even so, he flexibly avoided the siege of the tentacles, approached the container, and lowered to a height that allowed the two to jump off .

Even though countless monster incidents have been resolved in the past two years, this is the first time Natsume Takashi has seen such a tragedy.

There are slender snake-like crawling traces on the ground, as well as footprints of different shades. It is not difficult to imagine that they were left when the tentacles hunted down humans. Where the footprints stopped abruptly, there were blood, bones, and pieces of meat. Things that couldn't be seen in their original shape were scattered there, and along the way there were pieces of meat that were suspected to have been leaked during chewing, almost all over the floor.

Natsume Takashi concentrated his spiritual power in his hands, and easily smashed the incoming tentacles with one punch. The strangely colored liquid immediately flowed all over the floor, and the stench of the stench rushed straight into his nose.

The scene is indeed somewhat beyond the tolerance of ordinary people.

His face turned pale, and he retched a few times uncontrollably.

Perhaps because he was no longer a living person, Zhong Yuanzhong did not encounter many obstacles. He went directly to the warehouse that was only half left. There were only three children tied together in the large space.

what about others?

died?Or escaped?

Glancing at the blood seeping under half of the collapsed warehouse, the red-haired young man was expressionless.

He has two left hands and one right hand. Regardless of the subconscious struggles and shouts of the three children, he led the people out of the warehouse and jumped up on the tentacles that attacked Natsume, "Hey, fat cat!"

Madara, who helped Natsume get rid of the tentacles, raised his head subconsciously, took the three children into his mouth, and put them into a coma with his demon power.

"Mr. Zhongyuan, are there only these children?"

"Just these few." Now Natsume's situation is not good, almost all the tentacles are attacking him, Nakahara Chuya and Madara are almost ignored, a fool can guess who the target of this monster is, "Madara, you Take Natsume and go first."

The blood color spreading within the field of vision told them——

It landed.

The ground began to tremble violently.

"But Mr. Nakahara—hiss."

Although there were many tentacles before, but they were not fast and easy to damage, he could still cope with it with Madara's assistance. At this moment, the tentacles seemed to have hit the full-level direct experience pill, defense, attack, speed and agility. The degree has risen by more than one level, and almost all tentacles exist in the field of vision. Natsume was caught off guard and was scratched a few times.

The surface of the tentacle that rubbed against the blood cracked, and something like a tongue stuck out, licking away the blood with strong spiritual power.

It was the first time Madara had seen him suffer such serious injuries.

The white fox-shaped monster let out a roar, its monster power condensed into a solid body, the nearby tentacles suddenly broke, and the foul-smelling liquid flowed, forming a shallow layer.Natsume was caught by the white monster and flew inland, "Wait, Mr. Kitty, Mr. Nakahara—"

——How could it be possible to wait.

This monster obviously has no combat experience, and can only charge around waving its tentacles.And just the attack just now has exhausted most of Madara's power, if he stays a little longer, even if the monster doesn't learn to use the monster power, the two of them will definitely confess to being here.

If you have to run, you have to run, and the little guy said it, the monster ran away as soon as it got ashore.

"That guy is not alive, and monsters are not interested in him. As long as you stay obediently, you will be fine!"

This is indeed the truth.

The current Zhongyuan Zhongye is not as attractive as an ordinary person without spiritual power in the eyes of monsters. As long as he does not move, he is no different from a stone on the side of the road.

However, the fight was right in front of him, and if he didn't fight him, he wouldn't be Zhongye in the Central Plains.

The flying speed is very fast, and the spots are almost turning into white dots.

In contrast, although the tentacles are flexible, the speed of monsters moving on land is surprisingly slow.As if aware of the inconvenience caused by its huge size, the youkai's squid-head-shaped body suddenly shrank to a height of 20 meters, and its tentacles were also reduced a lot. It quickly moved towards downtown Yokohama, where Natsume was.But the distance between the two is getting farther and farther.

The food that was about to reach his mouth was about to fly away, Haigen roared angrily, the squirming piece of meat in the center of the body turned into a shape like a mouth, where a high concentration of demon power gathered.

Shi Zhongyuanzhong also ran along his body.He seized the moment when Haigen's demon power cannon was about to be completed, and kicked it under the jaw with all his strength.

'boom! ! ! '

The place where the face should be - after all, it has a mouth - was blown into a big hole, and the blood mixed with the minced meat dripped down.Haigen's painful wails pierced through his ears, making Zhongyuan Zhong also feel a ringing in his ears.

He stayed away with the shock wave of the explosion, and stood up after rolling on the ground to relieve his force.

The attacking legs were trembling unnaturally, and the clothes were already torn.

Without the ability, it is indeed a bit bad.

Thinking of this, the corners of the red-haired youth's mouth curled into a wild smile.

In front of the 20-meter-high monster after shrinking, the 1.6-meter-high young man was almost insignificant and vulnerable. The blood-colored moonlight scattered, but he was disintegrated invisible when he was about to approach him.His eyes were originally a clear cobalt blue, but at this moment they were as deep as the sea.The young man smiled lightly.

It was clearly a human being like an ant, and his voice should also be like a gnat, but that chuckle was like a heavy hammer, Hai Gen was in a trance, as if he saw the sea in his memory in those eyes.

Deep and clear, the sunlight penetrates, scattered gold powder, but the cold sea water has a gentle warmth.

The monster, immersed in the endless killing and lost in the powerful force, regained consciousness for a moment, and then was overwhelmed by the rage like a storm.

Mere humans... are just shameless ants.It was stunned for a moment.

— Unforgivable!

Wriggling tentacles swept across the sky and covered the sky, with an unstoppable momentum, and each one was much bigger than Zhongyuanzhong. He stood there, and the strong wind blew his hair.

Without the supernatural ability, he obviously couldn't avoid such a wide range of attacks with only physical | body functions, and he couldn't withstand such a force, but Zhongyuan Zhong didn't panic at all.

Although baseless, he just didn't think he would die here.

Maybe if the soul leaves this body, he will return there?

Deep in his consciousness, he vaguely heard something almost whispered——

【I am here……】

'--I know. '
