A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 43 Coincidentally, Kazama Ruri's Word of Power happens to be a dream-baku.
Chunxiangyuan, as the name suggests, is a place of pleasure. Following the instructions of the king, Kazama Ruri came to this small shop located on the third floor of Shibuya Pedestrian Street.

Upon entering, I noticed that the lobby had just been tidied up, and there were many inexplicable blank spaces on the walls, presumably because the pictures and posters that were originally hanging there had been torn down.

There were still many remnants of torn posters left on the wall.

"Lord Dragon King." Miyamoto Toru forced himself not to laugh out loud and stepped forward respectfully to greet him.

The codenames of the high-ranking members of the Demon Gang are all named after shogi pieces, and so far, there is no reference to "Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King".

Therefore, Kazama Ruri had no objection to her codename, but after seeing so many crooked-mouth memes, Miyamoto Toru found the nickname hilarious.

The thought of Kazama Ruri, a boy who is even more delicate and beautiful than a girl, suddenly making a silly, crooked face makes Miyamoto Toru have to work very hard to hold back his laughter.

While infiltrating the Snake Clan, Xu Lie certainly wouldn't forget to infiltrate the Fierce Ghost Clan.

Such a useful parasitism spell can't just be completed by parasitizing one Ryoma Ken.

On the night that Genji led his team to sweep through the strongholds of the Demon Clan, all six strongholds had fallen and out-of-control hybrids who had been parasitized by Xu Lie.

Apart from Ryoma Ken, the other five secretly found the higher-ups of the Fierce Ghost Clan and parasitized them again, unknowingly eroding the entire Fierce Ghost Clan.

Miyamoto Toru, whom the king considered a confidant and sent to monitor and assist Kazama Ruri, was actually Xu Lie's alter ego from the very beginning.

"Hmm." Kazama Ruri didn't notice Miyamoto Toru's strange behavior. She walked to the sofa and sat down, her tone indifferent: "Tell me the details."

All Kazama Ruri knew was that a third-party force seemed to have entered Tokyo and was simultaneously targeting the Snake-Headed Eight Families and the Demon Clan.

The king is like a riddle-maker; he can't even explain his mission clearly.

Miyamoto Toru kept his head down, seemingly showing respect to the Dragon King within the organization, but in reality, he couldn't let Kazama Ruri see it. His smile was harder to suppress than AK's: "Um, this matter is rather complicated."

"It is said that the people from the Sheqi Hachike's Execution Bureau suddenly became unable to use their incantations, and then the Sheqi Hachike tacitly accepted that it was done by our Fierce Demon Clan."

"Therefore, they mobilized a large number of troops to sweep through our strongholds, hoping to solve the problem of banning the power of words."

"It was only when the Snake Clan launched a surprise attack on the stronghold that they discovered there was no one there. These missing members did not return to the organization, and their whereabouts are unknown."

Upon hearing this, Kazama Ruri's delicate eyes brightened slightly. Sealing the power of words?
I've never heard of any mixed-race faction that could develop such incredible technology. Shouldn't only the vice principal of the Kassel headquarters, Yanling Jielu, be able to do it?
If it were truly possible to seal away the power of words, could it seal away the power of words of that guy, Wang Jiang?
Kazama Ruri's thoughts began to wander. Did the king, whom she could not kill repeatedly, possess some kind of life-saving incantation? Was that why he could be killed and then live again?

For example, a kind of incantation that creates clones?
If the king is only relying on the power of words to save his life, Kazama Ruri thought that perhaps she could use the technology to seal the power of words to eliminate all of the king's chances of survival.

Whether it succeeds or not, it's worth a try!
Kazama Ruri, who was initially very resistant to the task assigned by the king, began to take it seriously: "You've gone into such detail, you must have done some research."

"Did they find anything?"

Miyamoto Toru's face showed just the right amount of guilt: "I'm sorry, Lord Dragon King."

"The stronghold that was previously attacked by the Snake Clan still has members of the main clan monitoring it for a long time. It is inconvenient for us to get close to avoid being targeted again, so we did not find anything."

“We suspect that our family actually captured members of the Ghost Gang, but deliberately spread rumors that they hadn’t caught anyone, in order to mislead us.”

"But according to a letter from our informant who was sent back to the main family, the main family did not capture any members. The only unlucky guy was Ryoma Ken, who ran into Genji and died that night."

Kazama Ruri, who usually exudes a calm and collected demeanor, suddenly radiates a terrifying aura, an invisible dragon's might permeating the small shop. A powerful and unyielding authority emanates from her frail body, her presence even more imposing than that of her elder brother, Genjiro, who controls the entire Japanese underworld.

"Dragon, Dragon King?" Miyamoto Toru couldn't laugh anymore. He secretly regretted that he shouldn't have mentioned Genjiro's name if he had known that this kid had such a big problem with his brother.

Kazama Ruri is just a stage name or stage name in the host club world. His real name is Genjiro, the second son of the Genji family. He was manipulated and deceived by the king and harbors deep hatred for his older brother, Genjiro.

Just hearing a name is enough to trigger such a reaction.

Kazama Ruri quickly regained her composure and slowly calmed the dragon blood that was gradually boiling within her body, but her expression was no longer indifferent: "In that case, we will go there ourselves."

"Go? Go where?" Miyamoto Toru wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, using this small gesture to avoid letting Kazama Ruri notice the amusement in his eyes.

Kazama Ruri paused as she was about to get up, glanced at Miyamoto Toru wiping his sweat, and frowned slightly. How could the king send such an idiot to assist with the mission?

Do I still need to ask?
The mysterious disappearance of the members of the Demon Clan, now that the Snake Clan has been ruled out as suspects, the only remaining clue is the traces inside or near the Demon Clan's former stronghold.

They're definitely heading to the former stronghold of the Oni Clan.

Although Wang Jiangren is disgusting, his judgment of people shouldn't be too bad.

Perhaps Miyamoto was simply startled and acted without thinking things through.

Kazama Ruri decided to be blunt: "Go to our Demon Clan's previous stronghold. Didn't you say that since the main clan is stationed there, we can't get close and therefore can't conduct an investigation?"

"If you drive them away, you can investigate at your leisure?"

Miyamoto Toru raised his hand in surprise, poking his nose with his index finger: "Just the two of us?"

"Should I contact the organization and request more reinforcements?"

"Of course, I am not doubting the Dragon King's skills, but these are just some lowly soldiers of our clan, not worth the Dragon King drawing his sword."

Kazama Ruri did not refuse and nodded, letting Miyamoto Toru make the arrangements himself.

It wasn't out of fear of the people left behind by the main family; as Genjiro's younger brother, and as a super hybrid who also inherited the imperial bloodline.

Apart from her brother Genjiro and the god that the king longed to find, there was nothing else on the entire Honshu Island that could catch Kazama Ruri's eye.

The reason for letting Miyamoto Toru make the arrangements was simply because he was worried that after driving away the main family's people, he wouldn't be able to investigate all six bases, both indoors and outdoors, by himself.

Miyamoto Toru was very attentive, making phone calls to contact the Oni Clan and call for reinforcements while serving Kazama Ruri tea and snacks.

This opportunity has finally arrived. I wonder how things are going on the main side?
The Thief's Path: To advance from Sequence 6 Fire Thief to Sequence 5 Dream Thief, the main ingredients required for the potion, besides a corrupted soul, are...

Another blood is needed, specifically the blood of a Dream Eater holder, whether it's pure-blooded dragon or hybrid blood, as long as the Word of Power is Dream Eater.

Coincidentally, Ruri Kazama's Word of Power is none other than Baku's Dream Baku.
