Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1398: One Man, One Knife, and One Yellow Rat
"Nothing, it's just the price of using the demon sword. You gain the power of the ghost tribe."

Luther said.

"You are now more powerful than the red devil before. As long as you don't get lost and are not corrupted by the power of the red devil, you will be fine."

After hearing what Luther said, Soma Yukihira felt mixed emotions.

He looked at the demon sword "Akagi-Kiri" in his hand.

This magic sword was like a hot potato at this moment. It gave him powerful strength, but also made him fall into endless fear and worry.

He looked at himself in the mirror again; the half-human, half-ghost appearance made him feel extremely unfamiliar.

He used to be a vibrant and passionate chef who dreamed of conquering the world with his culinary skills and bringing delicious food and happiness to people.

However, at this moment, he has turned into a person who is neither human nor ghost.

"I'm Soma Yukihira, a chef."

He spoke firmly to the mirror, his voice trembling a little but full of strength.

He told himself that no matter what changes happened to his body, no matter what impact this magic sword would have on him, he must not forget his original intention.

He cannot be controlled by this evil force and cannot lose himself.

Next, he will take action.

“Will I stay like this forever?”

Soma Yukihira turned and asked Luther.

"No, put the Red Demon Cutting Sword into this Demon Sealing Sheath, and its power will be sealed."

Luther took out another scabbard.

Soma Yukihira quickly took it and put the demon sword Akagiki back into the sheath, fitting perfectly.

"The evil creator who created this demon sword Red Demon Cutting wanted to use it to kill hundreds of demons and seize their power, eventually transforming himself into a demon king. This demon sword will also transform into Hundred Demon Cutting."

Luther said.

"The power of a hundred ghosts and the ghost king?"

Soma Yukihira looked at the sealed demon sword in his hand. He knew without a doubt that the power of the Demon King must be very strong, because in the myths and legends of the island country, there are only a few big monsters who can be called Demon Kings.

The Demon King of Oeyama, Shuten Douji, the Demon of Rashomon, Ibaraki Douji, and so on.

If one could become the Ghost King through this magic sword, how powerful would that be?
But Soma Yukihira didn't care about this. He looked in the mirror and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he had returned to his original appearance.

"Leave the search for the spirit wedge to me."

Soma Yukihira said to everyone. After hearing what Soma Yukihira said, everyone looked at each other and nodded silently without raising any objections.

Indeed, the only one who is able to act right now is Soma Yukihira.

They knew very well that given their current physical condition, even if they forced themselves to go with Soma Yukihira, they would only become a burden to him, slowing him down, and might even distract him at a critical moment, putting him in an even more dangerous situation.

"Xingping, you must be careful. The situation in Mount Fuji is complicated now, with demons and monsters running rampant, and it is very dangerous. If you encounter a situation that you really can't handle, then throw away the demon sword. Your safety is the most important thing."

Erina Nakiri said to Soma Yukihira. "No, if we throw away the demon sword, it will be troublesome if demons and monsters find it."

However, when Alice Nakiri heard this, her eyes widened immediately, her face full of disapproval. She stood up suddenly and retorted loudly: "No! If the demon sword is thrown away, it will be a big trouble if it is picked up by those demons and monsters! The power of this demon sword is strange and powerful. If they use it, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Kurokiba Ryoya nodded, his originally stern face now full of solemnity, and said in a deep voice: "That's right, we can't let the demon sword fall into the hands of demons and monsters. The existence of this demon sword is a huge threat. If it is controlled by them, all our previous efforts will be in vain, and even the whole situation will become worse."

Soma Yukihira looked at his friends who cared about him and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He nodded vigorously, grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and said: "I understand, don't worry, I won't abandon the demon sword. Moreover, I will definitely find the spirit wedge and take everyone away from here safely."

Then he prepared to go alone.

"and many more!"

Erina Nakiri called out to Soma Yukihira.

Soma Yukihira turned his head in confusion, only to see Erina Nakiri taking out a furry yellow figure from behind her - it was Pikachu.

Pikachu was originally resting obediently aside, but when he heard Erina Nakiri's call, he immediately called "Pika Pika" and jumped out happily.

Although it had been injured before, as a special being shaped by psychic energy, it can recover quickly as long as psychic energy exists.

At this moment, it looks full of energy, its big round eyes sparkle with lively light, and its hair becomes soft and shiny.

Nakiri Erina handed Pikachu to Soma Yukihira and said, "Take Pikachu with you. It can help you. Pikachu has powerful electric psychic abilities and may be able to play an unexpected role in the battle."

"Thank you."

Soma Yukihira remembered the powerful electric current released by Pikachu before, which was indeed a rare help.

He reached out and took Pikachu, gently placing it on his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Thank you, I'll take it with me then."

Pikachu jumped excitedly on Soma Yukihira's shoulder for a few times, then lay down obediently and rubbed Soma Yukihira's cheek with its furry face, as if to cheer him up.

Soma Yukihira took Pikachu out of the camp and headed towards the depths of Mount Fuji.

Along the way, he clearly felt that his spiritual power seemed to have become much stronger.

It felt like a dried-up river suddenly flooded with water; spiritual energy flowed happily in his body, full of power.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart that this might really be the power brought by the demon sword.

Now, he can clearly feel the presence of demonic power around him.

It was a cold, evil aura, like invisible threads, intertwining and entwining in the air.

The demonic power in some places was so dense that it almost condensed into substance, causing him to frown.

He knew that there must be powerful monsters hiding in these places, and he had to be extra careful.

Mount Fuji has now been blocked by America and the island country.

America has always had a strong interest in mysterious beings such as demons and monsters.

In their view, although America's technological strength still ranks first in the world and various advanced weapons and equipment are emerging in an endless stream, the reality that the island country is now vigorously cultivating supernatural powers forces them to re-examine the situation.
