Knock knock knock-

Shuten-Doji complained and hit his shoulder with an iron club.

‘I don’t know what the hell these guys are trying to do.’

Even when humans, or rather, things of unknown identity, invaded the residence where he was resting for a while, Shuten-Doji did not pay much attention.

Because the number of guys who invaded was only three at most.

Well, the composition itself was quite interesting.

But that’s all.

The great yokai that dominated a past era, their existence was extremely pitiful in the eyes of Shuten-Doji.

A pyramid that is impossible to use as a snack, let alone satisfy hunger.

So, the moment they applied for the ghost festival, Shuten-Doji felt a truly mysterious emotion.

The joy of hearing the word ‘Gwiryungje’ once again in a world where hundreds of years have passed.

Anger at the fact that such filthy guys applied for a ghost ritual to the one who is called the King of Oni.

It doesn’t look like he’s trying to commit suicide, but I’m curious to see if he’ll show us something strange.

Because I felt all of this in my head at once.

That’s why Shuten-Doji nodded and accepted the spirit ritual.

But until then, Shuten-Doji had not thought deeply about it.

A preparatory ceremony to warm up the body and weapons before plundering the city.

That was all Shuten-Doji knew about this ridiculous demon ritual.

‘But that went in the exact opposite direction of what I expected due to the appearance of one guy.’

Glance-

‘So I was playing with him for a bit, thinking he might have something to show me… … What the heck is he doing?’

Shuten-Doji looked at Rumi with displeased eyes.

Whether she knew him or not, Rumi just stood there blankly, her gaze cast toward the roof.

Sigh-

“It seems my expectations were off the mark.”

Seeing that sight, Shuten-Doji completely gave up on the expectations he had for Rumi.

Shuten-Doji had already noticed a while ago that something was happening up there.

‘The demon side seems to be a fox demon, and the human side seems to be that guy I saw a little while ago.’

Glance-

‘Maybe this guy is worried about those two and can’t use his power.’

Even though I have a rough idea of the situation.

But I still didn’t like it.

It was a grave sin that deserved a thousand deaths, for him to dare to focus his mind elsewhere while fighting with himself.

‘I had a feeling that you were going to show me something fun… … I guess my sensitivity has become dulled a lot while I was sealed.’

The game ends here.

After deciding to kill Rumi, Shuten-Doji quickly took a step forward, thinking that he should choose whichever guy on the ceiling looked more interesting to fight.

Shuaaaah-!

A ferocious magical power rose from Shuten-Doji’s entire body like a flame, seeming as if it would devour everything.

The moment I was about to swing him around in a golden scepter.

“Ahh?”

Rumi, who had been standing still like a statue, glared at Shuten-Doji with her face crumpled as it was.

From her mouth came a harsh sound, like a screw in her head had broken and was turning, unlike anything she had ever said before.

Kukukukukuku-!

The momentum that poured out was so rough and vicious that it made even Shuten-Doji hesitate for a moment.

“What… … !”

The moment Shuten-Doji’s eyes filled with a small strangeness and surprise at Rumi’s unexpected change.

Bam bam–!!!

A dull yet intense sound came out of Rumi, as if all the bones in her body were breaking at once, or as if a previously frozen engine was rusting away and starting up.

A heart heated by deep emotions spits out new blood.

Blood that boasted a temperature much hotter than usual raced through the blood vessels with great force, changing the entire body, including the bones and muscles.

It was as if a huge beast had thrown off the chains that had bound it and was walking out of the cage.

“Aha, I see. I thought you were fighting with your blood power sealed because of your uniquely human beliefs, but that wasn’t the case.”

Shhh-

“Was it simply because I had never transformed into a monster before that I couldn’t use it?”

Shuten-Doji said that and smiled as if he found it ridiculous, then narrowed his eyes.

‘But this is a bit unexpected.’

Kugugugu-

‘I didn’t think it would be the blood of an ordinary oni rolling around on the roadside because of its odor… … but no matter how I look at it, this is more than that, right?’

Even though it was only for a short moment, it was so ferocious that it pushed away the magic power that it truly emitted. I don’t know whose blood it was exactly, but it seemed like it had blood flowing through it that could be called a great monster.

Well, such variables are also a form of entertainment.

After organizing his thoughts like that, Shuten-Doji asked happily.

“So what does it feel like to be transformed into a half-demon for the first time?”

The corners of his lips were raised high, and Rumi’s characteristic black gleaming eyes were reflected in Shuten-Doji’s eyes.

“Tsk, I don’t know.”

Rumi grumbled as she looked at him.

Now that I think about it, there were hints scattered all over the place.

Or a strangely strong supernatural force.

Strangely, the club felt familiar in my hand.

It felt like my blood was boiling every time we fought.

Well, things like that.

‘Come to think of it, this ghost festival… was supposed to be a festival for demons.’

At first, when the Shuten-Doji guy was talking about qualifications, I didn’t know what he was talking about, so I just ignored it, but now that I think about it, it seems like the qualification he was talking about back then was about Oni’s blood.

Phew-

‘Okay, fine.’

Even though the secret of her birth was suddenly revealed, Rumi was not shaken.

No, to be exact, it would be more accurate to say that I don’t care.

That would be the case.

Bam-

Because right now, all of her senses and mind were focused on the two people who were looking at each other affectionately under the moonlight.

“How dare you do something like that in front of me?!”

In order to give Rumi the experience of becoming a monster, Do Yu-jin has planned everything from the beginning to the present.

But in reality, it was impossible to awaken Oni’s blood to that extent.

Because we are running out of materials?

No, on the contrary, it was because there were too many things overflowing.

After all, what was most needed to awaken Oni’s blood was not satisfaction, but hunger.

To be precise, a desire and greed so strong that it shakes one’s reason.

That was the only key that could awaken Oni’s blood.

And the awakening of Oni’s blood meant one thing.

That Rumi had successfully brought out the sticky desire in her heart.

However, there was something that Do Yu-jin did not expect.

“Get out of the way! I have to kill that fox right now!”

It was just that Rumi’s emotions were awakened not in the form of a fighting spirit toward the enemy, but in the form of an obsession toward Do Yu-jin.

So, to put it simply.

Tamar-!

It was only natural that Rumi, who had successfully awakened, ignored Shuten-Doji and rushed towards the two men and women on the ceiling.

“Where!”

And it is also said that Shuten-Doji blocks the way.

Boom-!

The moment Rumi jumped into the air, Shuten-Doji, who had been kicking the ground, swung his Kinsakuba.

Rumi was hit head-on by the golden staff that Shuten-Doji swung with all his might, and fell to the ground.

A power that makes everyone who sees it dizzy.

“Hey! If you don’t want to get beat up, get out of the way right now? I’m about to turn the faucet right now?!”

However, Rumi, who was actually attacked, got up and screamed as if nothing had happened, as if she had been hit by a bouncy ball.

Shhh-!

‘I told you that I am right in my feelings, right?’

Shuten-Doji smiled brightly at the sight.

Even if you look at it in the best light, the guy who was just a handful had transformed into a pretty fun-looking toy in an instant.

“You’re going too far, weren’t you originally fighting with me?”

Shuten-Doji said as he lifted up his huge golden staff.

“If you do this, I will be even more upset and I won’t be able to get out of the way.”

Pitter-patter!

“Okay, then I’ll break your skull first.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Rumi kicked the ground as if she didn’t even have time to speak.

The sight of her using her enhanced physical specs through monster transformation to further enhance them with magical power and manipulate them as she pleased was chilling to watch.

but.

“Oh, it feels a little better.”

Wow-!

“But still slow.”

It wasn’t enough to fight against Shuten-Doji.

“Cough!”

The blood is thick?

The king who reigns supreme among all Oni is Shuten-Doji.

In front of him, a half-demon who can only have half of his bloodline at most is claiming the purity of his bloodline?

It wasn’t even funny.

“Hahaha! What the heck, is this all you can do? What were all those arrogant words you said a little while ago?”

That’s why I had high expectations for Shuten-Doji.

Because his senses were screaming that there was something more hidden in the toy in front of him.

“Okay! If you have something hidden, take it out and show me right now!”

“Okay, you son of a bitch. From now on, grit your teeth.”

Rumi said, spitting out the blood that had gathered in her mouth.

Ppoddeuk-

At the same time, a long black horn sprouted from her forehead.

As Rumi further increased the power of the Oni, the second symbol of the Oni appeared in reverse.

Not only has he just recently awakened to the power of Yokai, but he has also reached the second stage and is now able to control it all with great skill.

He looks like he could be called a genius, but…

“Ugh!”

Still, this was far from enough.

That’s why Rumi, or rather her instinct, was to find a new breakthrough.

In white instead of red, in a new power stimulated along with the awakening of the monster’s blood this time.

“This is… … ”

And Shuten-Doji, who sensed the signs faster than Rumi herself, opened his eyes wide for the first time and was shocked.

‘The blood of the Oni on the floor, the power remaining in it is flowing into that guy?’

Whether you know him or not.

“Poohahahaha!!! What the? I suddenly feel so energetic?”

Rumi, who had created the power of the Yokai as her own, laughed heartily and swung her golden staff with all her might.

A blow that swings so fast and fiercely that even the wind rips apart.

To stop him, Shuten-Doji raised his weapon.

Oh my god-!!!

I just took a few steps back.

Inability to completely absorb the impact from the collision of weapons.

“That, that’s… … ”

“Are you stepping down now…?”

The demons who were far away were shocked and opened their mouths wide when they saw the sight.

But if Do Yu-jin had seen her now, he would have laughed and said, “As expected.”

As I said before, no matter how strong Rumi’s demon blood is, it is bound to be inferior to Shuten-Doji’s.

Then why did Do Yu-jin put Rumi in front of him?

Why did you only worry about whether or not you could activate your Yokai transformation, and not about the outcome after that?

That was because he knew another secret that Rumi’s blood held.

And just now, Shuten-Doji also noticed the secret contained in Rumi’s blood and muttered in disbelief.

“A human born with the blood of an oni that has reached the level of a great demon and the blood of an exorcist who can kill demons as he pleases?”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

Kagura Rumi, the woman born to be the natural enemy of all yokai, tilted her head and muttered as if she had no idea what was going on.
