In Tokyo, the dungeon master

"...Died at the hands of the powerful Demon King Muzan! I'm ready, Master. No matter how many evil spirits are inside, I will help you and won't hold you back."

Looking at her serious expression, Gu Meng began to doubt his own judgment. She really seemed so reliable and capable! It seemed like she could succeed at anything.

The aura of that instance should be specifically designed to counter her and Jinghua. Moreover, she is inherently afraid of ghosts. Now, it's as if her sanity value has plummeted to zero and rebounded. After the burst of pressure, she has unleashed her virtue and is not backing down at all.

Shirakawa Manka, perhaps, possesses the potential of a high-sequence being! — The first three are low-sequence, the fourth, fifth, and sixth are mid-sequence, the seventh and above are high-sequence, and the tenth-sequence is generally not considered extraordinary, but directly regarded as a god.

The two exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and walked towards the dilapidated gate of the abandoned hospital, stepping into this forbidden land infested by evil spirits.

At the same time, as the challenger officially arrived, the black book above the kingdom in Gu Meng's sea of ​​consciousness automatically opened and turned to a new page, the same page Gu Meng used when activating [Extreme Darkness World].

The above reveals the settings edited by Gu Meng. Some text is still changing randomly and appearing and disappearing. For example, as Gu Meng speaks on the spot and gives a name to the big boss of this dungeon, the Ghost King has a name.

The Demon King "Muzan" was defeated by the great swordsman of the Shirakawa family, "Shirakawa Yoriichi," four hundred years ago, but escaped by sheer luck...

Twenty years after this humiliating defeat, Muzan, taking advantage of Yoriichi Shirakawa's death, returned with a large number of demons, only to be defeated once again by the Shirakawa family's high priestess, Aoi Shirakawa, who sealed him away at the cost of her life.

[The purifying power of the shrine maiden and the fearsome power of the yokai, the dark secrets of the Shirakawa family, the shrine maiden's attempt to reverse the decline of the Great Source family and its lack of successors, and the Shirakawa family elders' experiments on extracting souls in imitation of their ancestor, the entanglement of good and evil forces, the unity of good and evil, the gathering of "lucky souls," "harmonious souls," "wild souls," and "strange souls," seemingly brewing the prototype of something.]

Four hundred years have passed, and the Shirakawa family has fallen into decline. During a ritual that seems to have hidden motives, Muzan breaks free from his seal and goes into hiding once more.

He discovered the perfect location and made a pact with the countless vengeful spirits that had failed to be born. The evil that could not be born took advantage of the wrong time to erupt, and the combined characteristics unleashed even greater power and resentment. Muzan obtained power that he should not have obtained at this point in time.

However, Tokai Isshin, the sword saint who was the ancestor of Shirakawa Yoriichi and had reached the limit of humanity six hundred years ago, has also reappeared in the world. The two are bound to fight today...

Can the Shirakawa family sever all ties with their past?

Will ■■'s evil plan succeed?

Can Muzan finally avenge his defeat?

[The Fuzzy Singularity—The Burning Blood Night Demon's Lair—is officially open!]

……

[Main Characters: Shirakawa Manka, Shirakawa Chihana]

[NPC Faction: East Sea United]

[Opposing factions: Demon King Muzan, Sadako-type ghost stories, Faceless Driver-type ghost stories, Eight-Foot Lady-type ghost stories...]

[How to end the dungeon: Defeat Muzan, or Muzan defeats Shirakawa and her daughter]

[Dungeon-related treasures: Distant Accessory Fragment, Shikon Jewel Fragment from the Demon King's Body, and some Shirakawa family treasures]

……

These explanations are partly generated from Gu Meng's cognition, because Gu Meng subconsciously liked this method, so the ancestral book used this format to demonstrate his abilities.

Another part can also reflect current intelligence and confirmed information; much of the information about monster characteristics is random.

If Gu Meng wanted, he could consume magic power to see almost all the settings in the dungeon, which was equivalent to activating Gilgamesh's "Omniscient and Omnipotent Star".

However, that would be too boring. Gu Meng only treats this kind of copy as a movie and doesn't need to take it seriously.

……

Of course, Shirakawa Manka didn't know that Gu Meng was treating this as a game, and was only playing a role at the moment. She felt that Gu Meng was very serious.

As soon as Gu Meng stepped into the hospital lobby, he abruptly stopped, drew a demonic sword that exuded an ominous black and red aura, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "They've arrived... They've already sensed us."

"Them? Are they the evil spirits inside?"

Shirakawa Manka quickly gripped her magic wand, instinctively moving closer to Gu Meng, her eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

The hall was still covered in dust and cobwebs, and abandoned benches lay scattered crookedly. Only the sound of two people's footsteps echoed in the empty space, but there was no trace of any evil spirit.

The place was even more eerie than she had imagined. The chilling atmosphere in the air grew stronger, mixed with a faint fishy and rotten smell that stung her nostrils.

In my glare, the walls were covered with dark stains, like dried blood or marks left by evil spirits, exuding an indescribable eeriness.

"That's right, they're some scattered evil spirits, and the aura of that ghost king is getting closer. Stay close to me."

Gu Meng nodded slowly. He raised his hand and held the demon sword in front of him, his fingertips lightly brushing the blade. In an instant, the black and red light of the sword became even more dazzling. "They have been watching us from the shadows, just waiting for us to step into their trap."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slightly flipped his wrist, and the demon blade drew a sharp arc in the air. A deep red flying slash roared out and cleaved straight towards the shadowy corner of the hall.

"Sizzle—" A burst of blinding sparks appeared, followed by a sharp screech from the shadows. A blurry black shadow vanished; it was already dead.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Shirakawa Manka's eyes lit up, her tension instantly replaced by amazement. She looked at Gu Meng with admiration. "Is this the power of severing past karma? It's even stronger than I imagined!"

Whether it was Gu Meng's swift sword-wielding technique or the light bursting forth from his flying strikes, it all gave her a jolt, and the fear she had felt due to the eerie environment dissipated considerably.

In her eyes, Gu Meng was like a ray of light, able to calmly deal with even the most terrifying evil spirits. With him by her side, she felt more confident.

Gu Meng shook his head slightly, casually swinging the demon sword a couple of times to familiarize himself with its feel: "This is just a basic attack. I'm not putting in any effort to conserve energy. I'll need to really unleash my power when we encounter Muzan later."

Shirakawa Manka wasn't surprised that the ancestor, whose primary profession was magician, was so skilled in swordsmanship.

Because the ancestor was a renowned sword saint, reigning supreme at the pinnacle of swordsmanship, it would be strange if he weren't strong.

These days, which magician doesn't know fencing?

Today, my wife also learned some secret information. It turns out that the highest Japanese swordsmanship, which was lost to the outside world, was completely cut off due to various reasons, such as the ancestor not finding a worthy person to pass on the knowledge, and the suppression by the Imperial Family. Even the name of the school of swordsmanship, which was founded by the ancestor, was originally called Ashina-ryu.

In the Kojiki, Japan is referred to as "Ashihara no Nakatsukuni". The Ashina school may have been a famous school of martial arts in Japan. Unfortunately, its founder was feared and slandered, and was suppressed by mysterious forces in later generations, and all historical records were erased.

The wife's statement was purely a product of ideological indoctrination. In fact, Gu Meng was just saying it casually. He felt that since it was called Ashina Style, it wouldn't be surprising what kind of weapon he would use in the future, so it was more convenient. That's why he called himself Ashina Style.

The demon sword in Gu Meng's hand is called Su Ye Liang Duan, a demon sword with a notorious reputation in the Japanese mystery world. It has various ominous legends and is a treasure passed down through generations of the Shirakawa family. It was forged using some ancient divine iron.

Out of personal interest, Gu Meng also called it the Immortal Slash.
