A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 175 The Birth of a Hero (Part 1)
"Help! Help!"

The entire city of Nagoya is being ravaged by countless scattered arquebusiers.

Although the city proper alone is home to over two million people, and the Nagoya metropolitan area, including the surrounding cities, has a population exceeding twenty million, what could they do besides run away when faced with tens of thousands of armed, emotionless, supernatural soldiers?
Even escaping is difficult; these 'arquebusiers' are not slow-moving zombies, and their movement speed is no slower than that of ordinary people.

Da da da da,

It is located on a street near the Yamazaki River.
As the group of people fled for their lives, the sound of helicopters could be heard overhead.

? !
"They're government officials,"

"Save me, save me!"

"There's a monster behind us! Let us get on the plane!"

Seemingly hearing the calls from the crowd below, the helicopter overhead began to descend.

But on the other side, the pursuing 'arquebusiers' had caught up; they raised their seemingly simple but actually fierce flintlock muskets.

"Oops,"

"The plane will be shot down!"

The fleeing crowd was shocked. Upon closer inspection of the helicopter overhead after it descended, they realized it was just a civilian model: it couldn't withstand the intense gunfire—if the pilot was hit, the helicopter would immediately crash and everyone would die.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh

Before that, there was a girl carrying a quiver of arrows;
He had already extended his upper body out of the helicopter, drawing back the alloy composite bow in his hand, leaving afterimages.

The foot soldiers who had raised their flintlock muskets and aimed at the arrows fell backward, their eyes deeply embedded with gleaming arrows. The exposed fletchings were still trembling rapidly, a testament to the immense force of the arrows.

If hit in a vital spot, even a 'firearm foot soldier' ​​will die on the spot.

swipe, swipe

Immediately afterwards, two figures leaped out.

Thump, thump!

After landing, he immediately bypassed the crowd that was dodging to the sides and rushed in the direction from which they had fled.

One man wielded a shield, the other a sword. The shield stood in front, letting bullets hit it and send sparks flying. The long sword followed closely behind, as they charged into the remaining arquebusiers. There were no fancy moves, only the precision honed in battle.

With sweeping, powerful slashes, the long sword felled these 'arquebusiers' in the blink of an eye.

? !
"It's a supernatural being!"

"We're saved!"

This scene prompted cheers from the crowd.

As the helicopter slowly descended, one person jumped off.

This man was tall, with fierce eyebrows and protruding fangs. He exuded an imposing aura even without anger, and his mere presence gave off a terrifyingly powerful feeling.

Of course, after all, this guy practically wears the 'supernatural' on his face: normal people don't look like him.

and:

"Ha, Master, these enemies are so weak!"

"It's really not strong."

The two who jumped off the plane first, rushing into the 'Armored Foot Soldiers' ranks like a gust of wind, have already returned.

Both were young, dressed in close-fitting technological combat suits. One carried a tower shield as tall as himself, while the other wielded a knife with only one arm.

"This is Lord Bu Bu Zhang."

"Your Excellency Bu Bu?"

"He's not in Takatsuki City, chase after him—"

The Nagoya citizens who were rescued immediately recognized this "most affectionate man in the island nation," after all, his appearance was too unique, and "News King" even did an exclusive interview with him.

"cough,"

Knowing that his 'dating history' had been exposed, Bu Buzhang coughed awkwardly, clenching his fist.

These citizens are not without tact: island nations are all about "reading the room," and those who cannot read between the lines will be ostracized by society.

"And sir, thank you for saving us."

May I ask your honorable name?

"Haha, my name is Shinoda Takashi!"

The young man carrying the heavy shield smiled shyly and excitedly.

"Just call me Takashi."

"I am destined to be a chivalrous man!"

? ?
Got it, it's just a case of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

What era are we living in? Still talking about "chivalry"? Isn't that just a fantasy of the older generation?
but:

"Thank you so much for saving me, chivalrous one!"

"We will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives."

"I want to tattoo your heroic figures on my back, and I'll name it 'Heroic Figures'!"

Yes, yes, that's it.

Takashi Shinoda, carrying the large shield, was secretly delighted.
This is the essence of chivalry: defeat the enemy, then receive the praise of the crowd, and then—

"I don't need your remembrance, go and seek refuge."

The battle is over, and I ask for nothing in return.

This is the ultimate expression of chivalry!
"Okay, my lord."

"We'll take our leave now."

These ordinary citizens also didn't want to stay here, and they all fled to the outskirts.

"Alright, you idiot, Shinoda,"

Satomi Sato, who almost blurted out her true feelings, clapped her hands as she jumped off the plane.

"Come here, everyone. The Metropolitan Police Department has already released information about the 'Oda Army'."

The Metropolitan Police Department urgently released detailed information about the supernatural disaster "Tenka Fubu" in the "Supernatural Countermeasures App" on mobile phones.

“Those ‘arquebusiers’ are just the weakest E-rank monsters.”

"Above this, there is the 'King Kong Warrior' who uses a 'large barrel,' which is actually a shoulder-mounted cannon that can be fired repeatedly."

"And the 'air strike teams' that fly through the sky, responsible for reconnaissance and taking down drones."

"The most dangerous ones are probably these 'Koga ninjas'."

The only thing missing from the information released by the Metropolitan Police Department was the fighting style of the 'Koga ninja'.

But just think about it, since they are ninjas, they must be hiding, disguising, and assassinating—all methods that are difficult to guard against.

“I took a quick look from the sky just now. Only a small group of the Oda clan’s army is close to the Yamazaki River. We can rescue people while advancing towards the Amashiro River, and then use that as the core to launch a sniping attack.”

Nagoya,
It has a considerable number of rivers.
Or rather, most coastal cities have abundant waterways.

It is precisely because of the numerous waterways that the city was able to develop into a large city, serving as irrigation and drinking water in feudal times and carrying out river transport in modern times.

This is true in Tokyo, Osaka, and naturally, Nagoya as well.

"The Shonai River, Horikawa River, Fukuda River, Tenshiro River, Yamazaki River, and Aizuma River—these are all our home turf." Even without mastering 'Fishman Karate,' the few of them were still quite adept at swimming.

When you can't win a fight, jump into the river.

The saying goes, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river," meaning fortunes can change drastically over time. First, save your life, then you can avenge your defeat later.

"Since most of the 'arquebusiers' aren't very strong, let's split up and go our separate ways."

Before coming here, Satomi Sato's plan was for everyone to work together to make progress.

However, upon arriving here, they discovered that the 'Oda Army' had already dispersed, and there was no point in sticking together anymore.

"Ling, Bubu, Shinoda,"

"These three locations are currently only frequented by 'arquebusiers'. I'm leaving them to you."

In this group, the leader is undoubtedly Matsumoto Jinpei. He's the strongest and everyone's mentor. But his intelligence is so low that he was recruited by the yakuza to do illegal work; he's hardly a clever person.

As for Urabe Akira and Niko Rei, their combat abilities are passable, but they're not good at strategizing.

Takashi Shinoda? Let's not even mention him.

"The uncle and I will head to Amashiro River."

"It's said that 'Vajra Warriors' roam there. Let's go and test the strength of these 'elites'."

If you can't beat them, lure them to the side of the Amashira River and let Uncle Jinbe defeat them with 'Fishman Karate'. If that still doesn't work, then of course you should use Water Release on the spot.

Sato Satomi came to Nagoya City because of Matsumoto Jinpei; given her personality, she considered the possibility of failure before the possibility of victory and arranged everything properly.

"Do you have any opinions on this?"

They all shook their heads.

Their team,

While they may not all have below-average IQs, Satomi Sato is clearly outstanding.

"Set off."

In that case, let's begin practical training.

After all, there's also "Number 17" in Takatsuki City who wishes they were dead.

This is not the time to let our guard down: unless they give up their activities in Takatsuki City, they will have to face that Wood Spirit sooner or later.

Thousands of districts

boom! boom! boom!
The bullet pierced through the shop's roller shutter door.
Through the wardrobe and refrigerator, it penetrated deeply into the man's body, which was pressed against these cluttered objects.

Even after being shot, these men stubbornly held the door shut. Their wives, daughters, parents, and neighbors were tucked away in a corner of the shop.

Boom, boom, boom!

After the gunfire stopped, a violent impact was heard.

That was the sound of 'arquebusiers' kicking down the door. These 'Homitz' creations simply carry out orders and will not give up until they achieve their goal.

"Mother."

"Do not talk."

Quickly cover the little girl's mouth in your arms.

The woman hiding in the shop looked tense and fearful, yet helpless.

They were just ordinary people. Faced with those monsters with guns, what could they do besides hide and wait for rescue?
Not everyone has the courage or ability to fight against supernatural beings: if it were a 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons,' ordinary people could still put up a fight; but when facing the 'Oda Army' wielding repeating flintlock muskets, ordinary people couldn't even fight to the death.

Even supernatural disasters are getting stronger and stronger. Does this mean that ordinary people have no way to survive?
"Stop! You monsters!"

Just then, a loud shout suddenly rang out from outside the door.

Then came a series of loud banging and crashing sounds, as if elephants were violently trampling.

The noise outside the door lasted for several seconds or minutes before falling silent.

Knock knock knock,

Amid the rhythmic knocking, the same shouting voice rang out again.

"Is there anyone in there?"

"I have already dealt with the arquebusiers outside."

? !
"real or fake."

"It should be true. Only 'high-ranking soldiers' in Oda's army can speak."

Someone in the shop mentioned it, but if it's a 'high-level unit,' why bother lying to them? Just blast it open with a single cannon shot.

"Oh, nobody's here?"

"There's someone here!"

Fearing the other party would leave, the people in the shops shouted.

After they moved the debris blocking the door and worked together to lift the deformed roller shutter, what they saw was:

A young man wearing modern armor and holding a huge shield.

"Very good,"

"They are supernatural beings."

These people wept with joy.

An ordinary person could not possibly carry a shield that is that tall and heavy.

Moreover, judging from the wounds on the twisted corpses of the surrounding foot soldiers, they were killed by this supernatural "expert".

"thanks, thanks!"

"You are a true hero!"

"You're welcome,"

The young man named Shinoda Takashi raised his hand and pointed in the direction he had come from.

"Go to shelter quickly."

"Big brother, aren't you going to escort us across?"

"Don't,"

The mother instinctively covered the little girl's mouth, but Shinoda Takashi was not angry.

"That's the way I came, it's very safe."

After saying that, he turned around.

His gaze fell on the human corpses scattered in the streets.

"I want to commemorate these people who died so tragically,"

revenge!

"This is also the way of chivalry."
