Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

"Oh, I overheard people talking about the Lord of Arakawa or something?"

"What's wrong? Has something happened here?"

"Hmm, it took some time to gather the divine body together. Did I miss something?"

Narumi Shingo took the lead, leading his younger sister out of the shadows. As soon as they entered, they were drawn to the figure of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

He frowned, as if he had sensed something, and without waiting for anyone to answer, he stepped forward and approached Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"."

"This is the scent of the Demon King's Fire from Mount Oe—speaking of which, I did indeed see that Demon King in his Hundred Demons Scroll."

"Is he using the power of the Ghost King to fight his enemy?"

After looking around, Narumi Shingo suddenly realized.

"I knew these fishmen looked familiar!"

"The Guanyin of the Gray Hall?!"

"A sea monster renowned for its poison and rebirth, she also played a part in the sirens' invasion of Arakawa!"

"Since that's the case, I can't just leave it unattended."

Narumi Shingo snorted coldly, and the sea creature slammed heavily onto the ground.

New and old grudges surged into his heart. Recalling the giant sea monsters that had polluted the Arakawa River with their poisonous blood, causing countless casualties, his anger burst forth uncontrollably.

"The contract is established, and our minds are in sync, so I pray!"

Narumi Shingo slowly closed his eyes and sank into the boundless sea of ​​stars.

He effortlessly located Uesugi Kiyoshi through the faint light.

"The dream mirror is closed; I can't break in."

"However, this power, being of divine nature, is not subject to the restrictions of the rules!"

"Hmph, it's obvious that Hydra's dream must be the ocean. Facing a siren in the ocean would be difficult even for you."

"It's alright! Let the power of the Arakawa River's waves help you!"

At that moment, Uesugi Kiyoshi, in his dream, suddenly shuddered.

Narumi Shingo's voice suddenly resounded from the depths of his heart.

"Uesugi, are you in a bit of a mess?"

"It seems that the Demon King's Flame is still a bit lacking in skill against sea beasts?"

"It's alright. Since I've decided to work for you, then this is my time to put in the effort!"

"Here you go! This sword!"

After he finished speaking, in reality, the golden, glittering Sea Kingdom flashed by and suddenly appeared in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's brows furrowed, and he tossed the spider-cutting in his left hand behind him, where it was caught firmly by the withered ghost hand. Then, he reached out and tightly grasped the heavy Kaikokusaku.

As I grasped the sword, an indescribable coolness began to spread from my brow throughout my body.

At this moment, his body sank down and he landed on the water.

It felt like walking on flat ground, without any sense of incongruity.

The rhythm of flowing water, the flow of the ocean, are all contained within my heart.

Water became incredibly friendly to him, just as humans can talk and walk; he could also command the water flow and create giant waves.

With a flick of the sea's wings, a colossal wave surged forth, causing the enormous nine-headed sea beast to momentarily halt its movement.

"...This is...the power of the Lord of Arakawa?"

"Sure! At least for now, the advantage of location can no longer limit me!"

"And this power to control giant waves..."

"Try integrating it into the sword!"

He turned sideways, took a step back, bent over, bowed, and gripped his sword.

With his right hand he holds the Boy Cutter, with his left hand the Sea Kingdom Cutter, and behind him, the Demon Hand holds a Spider Cutter.

The three swords gleamed with a cold light.

Inugami and Uesugi Kiyoshi moved in sync, assuming a sword stance ready to strike.

What's astonishing is that a giant demonic hand appeared out of nowhere behind the dog god's body, and the dog god's sword looked exactly the same as Uesugi Kiyoshi's sword upon close inspection.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's power was fully projected onto the Inugami's body through the extraordinary weapon in his hand.

The next step is to "release" this power.

In an instant, I closed my eyes, and a tall figure of a samurai with a dog's head and a human body flashed through my mind.

That was once Uesugi Kiyoshi's dream.

A dream about the dog god.

He took "slaying evil" as his principle.

He fought amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he was an enemy of the evil of demons, the evil of humanity, and all evil that stood in his way.

Gradually, he became blinded by the crimson of the slaughter.

He was infamous and was known as a murderous demon and a cold-blooded monster.

Ruthless, cruel, living in bloodshed, living in slaughter, living in loneliness.

He lived by fighting, fed on evil, and lived a muddled and aimless life until the end.

Perhaps, this is how his fate will unfold.

Finally, one day, after a bloody battle, as he lay on the ground weakly licking his wounds, he encountered the "singularity" that would change his fate.

It was a sparrow that landed on his shoulder and struggled to smooth his blood-stained downy feathers and the grit and debris from his wound with its beak.

Perhaps it was a sudden flash of inspiration when one is critically injured and on the verge of death, or perhaps it was the last glimmer of clarity before the soul returns to the underworld.

He suddenly realized that the chirping sparrow wasn't so annoying after all. Being accompanied by a bird in the final stage of his life brought him some comfort.

Perhaps it was his powerful vitality as a dog-god yokai, or perhaps it was his inner conviction that sustained him.

In the end, Inugami survived.

He did not die from the swords.

However, from then on, a chirping sparrow appeared on his shoulder. He built a wooden house for the sparrow to live in, just like a home.

To him, this sparrow must be a mascot?

With the heavy Inuyashiki on his back, Inugami felt for the first time that there was something else in his life besides killing.

For example, the little sparrow that never abandoned him.

From then on, his personality gradually became more restrained, and his bloodlust was not as intense. Although he would still eliminate evil and injustice, he would also let go of innocent little monsters or innocent people who were involved.

Because when he drew his sword, the sparrows would always chirp and chatter loudly, as if in fierce protest, and they would only quiet down after he sheathed his sword.

And so, Inugami spent a period of time that was relatively peaceful and stable compared to his previous life.

Until one day, the sparrow died.

It is not a demon, but just an ordinary sparrow. Birth, aging, sickness and death are the natural laws that it cannot resist.

The dog god silently buried the sparrow, but the dog house, Inuyashiki, never gave up and carried it on its back.

Even though there were no more family members in the wooden house, he still carried it on his back because he regarded it as his home, found a sense of belonging, and found his true "self".

He suddenly woke up.

The sword is not wielded for killing, but for "protection".

If there is nothing in this world worth protecting, then no matter how sharp the sword is or how much evil it slays, it is meaningless.

From now on, this sword will be wielded for "protection".

Over the years, carrying the dog spirit of Inuyashiki, he traveled all over the mountains and rivers, experienced many things, and protected many people and demons who should not have died violently.

He was already used to this kind of life, and even if he was met with fear and alienation in the end, he wouldn't mind. He would step in to save people when necessary.

There are always things in this world worth protecting.

For some reason, one day, Inugami came to a tree in a mountain stream, sat on a rock, wiped his sword, and smoked a pipe, looking like a middle-aged human uncle with a calm and indifferent expression.

He came back here.

This is where he buried "Sparrow".

Before he could finish wiping the sword, a familiar chattering sound suddenly appeared in his ears.

Turning around in disbelief, he saw a familiar sparrow in the Inuyashiki.

The sparrows chirped and chattered until he sheathed his sword, then they fell silent, lay down quietly, and preened their feathers.

Its entire body glows with fluorescence; it is definitely not an ordinary life form.

Is it transforming into a demon? Or being reincarnated? Or perhaps having an immortal soul after death, returning to the world?

Inugami didn't know, but he knew that Suzume's return must be due to a firm and unwavering belief.

It's probably about protecting him.

He smiled deeply and exhaled a smoke ring.

An inexplicable emotion welled up in his chest, and Inugami suddenly felt an immense sense of ease.

The beginning of becoming a god is the belief in "protection" and "guardianship".

This bird was the beginning of his salvation and the first step in his ascension to godhood.

Countless emotions surged within him, carrying with him an unwavering heart to vanquish evil, and finally coalesced into a single sword technique.

The sparrows chirped, the dog god stirred, the sword was drawn, slaying all the villains, and the dragon bowed its head.
