People in Type-Moon have a hero simulator.

That was no longer human, but a demon who took pleasure in toying with humans.

"I've always been myself, and you're quite the clown, so keep performing your show."

Gunshots echoed again outside Honnoji Temple. Akechi Mitsuhide, hearing the gunshots inside, knew that his lord was not only unharmed but was also enjoying the thrill of killing.

Although the task of sending troops abroad was taken away by that monkey, Akechi Mitsuhide was not jealous. He probably understood that what he was doing now required Oda Nobunaga's trust even more.

"I see. It's an extremely sophisticated barrier. Combined with its restraint on Buddhism and the enhancement of the Heavenly Demon, it prevents me from entering it using my supernatural powers."

what sound?

The sudden appearance of a young man's voice made Mitsuhide Akechi tense up. He drew his long sword and looked at the sword-wielding monk who had suddenly appeared beside him, his vigilance already at its peak.

"Who?"

"Who is behind this barrier? Hideyoshi Hashiba... Perhaps it is him. After all, the legend of the One Night Castle is still fresh in our minds. If it is a master of this kind of formation, he can indeed do this."

"I'm asking you, who are you?"

The monk ignored Akechi Mitsuhide and instead focused intently on studying the barrier. This contemptuous attitude made Akechi Mitsuhide almost hesitate, ready to sever the monk's head with a single stroke.

The monk wielding the sword was likely a warrior monk. Nowadays, all warrior monks in the world were considered enemies of the Oda clan, so why not just kill him directly?

The monk barely turned around; he simply reached out and pinched the blade between two fingers.

“Akechi Mitsuhide, right? I am Ryoujin.”

Fujimaru Kyoya turned to look at the handsome warrior in front of him. Normally, he would kill anyone who swung their sword at him, but he would let it go if it was Akechi Mitsuhide.

On June 1, Akechi Mitsuhide's "betrayal" of Oda Nobunaga led to the Honnoji Incident.

On June 7th, the imperial court sent an envoy, Taira no Mitsuhide, to visit him.

On June 13, Akechi Mitsuhide fought against Hashiba Hideyoshi, Niwa Nagahide, Oda Nobutaka, and others at Tennozan, and was subsequently defeated and killed.

Fujimaru Kyoya, who had always been tolerant and generous towards this man who only had a few days left to live, was also willing to show him great compassion.

"Demon Sword Monk Liao Chen? What are you doing here?"

A sense of unease crept in. Although the person in front of him was said to have "three thousand kills a day" with some exaggeration and was not as exaggerated as the rumors suggested, it did not mean that the person in front of him could be underestimated.

"I am, after all, a member of the Buddhist community. I may not be the most compassionate, but I cannot stand idly by when a demon descends upon the world."

Fujimaru Kyoya drew his demon sword Murasame and looked at the barrier in front of him that could prevent four thousand people from leaving.

"All kinds of karmic obstacles block my path forward, so it is..."

Danger.

When Fujimaru Kyoya drew Murasame, anyone who had been on the battlefield and experienced the feeling of being on the brink of death sensed it—it was a chilling sense of crisis.

"I will kill."

Fujimaru Kyoya slashed at the barrier with "As I am" and the pure Buddhist light fell on the barrier of the Fire House Buddhist Prison as cleanly and neatly as a hot knife cutting butter.

However, how could the barrier that Hideyoshi Hashiba had carefully prepared be so easily broken by a single sword strike?

The gap caused by Fujimaru Kyoya began to heal at an extremely fast pace, and it should be fully healed soon.

"Is it another borrowed ley line? This is really troublesome."

Fujimaru Kyouya sighed helplessly. In his opinion, Oda Nobunaga was currently being controlled by the Heavenly Demon, and the reason for this was mostly due to this barrier. If the barrier could be destroyed, Oda Nobunaga should be able to stabilize his consciousness.

However, this barrier is rooted in Konō-ji Temple and uses the spiritual veins beneath the temple. Unless Fujimaru Kyouya destroys these underground spiritual veins, there is only one way to break through this barrier.

Kill Oda Nobunaga, who was at the core of the barrier.

Perhaps this is just fate.

Even though Oda Nobunaga gained immense power, Fujimaru Kyoya came to this era as a Buddhist practitioner.

If Fujimaru Kyo in this life were not a Buddhist monk, but merely a wandering wanderer, then he wouldn't care what kind of chaos occurred at Honnoji Temple.

"and many more……"

As Fujimaru Kyoya stepped into the barrier, Akechi Mitsuhide instinctively tried to stop him, but was forced back by a sharp blade of light, and watched as Fujimaru Kyoya walked in.

"Enjoy the last moments of your life."

As soon as Fujimaru Kyoya left those words, the barrier closed completely, and a powerful pressure swept over his body. The flames that were just relatively hot to ordinary people felt unbearable to him.

Karmic Fire?

"It's true... you can't take anything with you when you die, except for the karma that binds you."

As if drawn by the karma on Fujimaru Kyoya's body, tiny flames appeared on his body. The fire was not burning Fujimaru Kyoya's body, but his spirit.

If the tests that God had given him before were reasonable, then this one was a bit unreasonable.

It should be noted that when the Buddha attained enlightenment, it was only through the presence of Mara himself. Although Fujimaru Kyoya is not facing Mara's true form this time, he is still going to confront this sixth demon king.

However, Fujimaru Kyo did not back down. He activated the Wuji Zhenchan technique, entered a meditative state, and then walked towards Oda Nobunaga with absolute stillness.

In this sea of ​​fire, with each step Fujimaru Kyoya took, a lotus flower would bloom beneath his feet.

One white lotus followed by a black lotus, truly a step that brings sin and a step that brings lotus blossoms.

Chapter 100 Complete Demon Transformation 21/28

"Hmm? The disciples and descendants of Shakyamuni?"

When the Fire House Buddhist Prison was breached, Oda Nobunaga, as its core member, naturally noticed it immediately. At this point, she no longer knew who she was.

However, the feeling of disgust remained, and that disgust for Shakyamuni's disciples still made her give up on delivering the final blow to Hattori Hanzo, and instead turn her gaze to the side.

There was a monk there, in this burning hell of Buddhism, taking one step at a time, each step a lotus flower.

"Monk, what is your Dharma name?"

"Liaochen".

Fujimaru Kyoya looked at the woman in front of him. She was tall with long, fiery hair, and her eyes held no kindness, only mockery of the world.

"Heh~ You've left the mortal world? But you've never shown any intention of leaving it behind. You're constantly killing and burdened with karmic obstacles. What kind of Buddha are you cultivating?"

Mocking humans is indeed a habit of the Heavenly Demons, but they prefer to toy with cultivators, destroy their unwavering faith, and ruin their years of cultivation. This kind of pleasure can make the Heavenly Demons faint with ecstasy.

“The practice itself is the meaning; becoming a Buddha is merely the final result. If you take becoming a Buddha as your goal, then no matter how profound your talent, you are nothing more than an ordinary person.”

Fujimaru Kyoya was not fooled by the words of the person in front of him.

Those who attain Buddhahood do not cultivate themselves for the purpose of attaining Buddhahood, but rather attain Buddhahood because they have cultivated themselves to a sufficient level. It is absolutely impossible for them to reverse cause and effect.

"This sharp tongue does have the air of Buddha, but coming here without sufficient strength seems a bit like underestimating people."

Oda Nobunaga slowly stood up. At this moment, she had completely become the Sixth Heaven Demon King. In this burning Buddhist prison, she had a natural advantage over Fujimaru Kyoya.

"What if I don't come? Would you let me go?"

"How could that be? After I conquered the country, I made the emperor abdicate. The first thing I did after becoming emperor was to burn down the Buddhist temples in this small country."

Mara's hatred for the Tathagata was ingrained in his very bones. Even if he couldn't threaten the Buddha who had already attained supreme enlightenment, he would take his anger out on his disciples and followers.

“If I don’t come looking for you, you will come looking for me. So why hide? Besides, I don’t think I will lose.”

The flames on Fujimaru Kyoya's body burned even more fiercely. These flames, burning with karma, intensified under the stimulation of Fujimaru Kyoya's killing intent.

Even though this would cause Fujimaru Kyoya more pain, he remained silent and continued to maintain his meditation.

[You feel the burning of karmic fire, a flame that affects only the spirit and not the body, causing immense pain. Yet you maintain your state of boundless trembling meditation, waiting for an opportunity to repay all the suffering before you.]

The karmic fire within you has climbed onto the blade of Murasame; your killing intent is the best catalyst, and your inner will sweeps away all confusion.

You have used the Whale-Slaying Overlord Sword.

I already said, it's not the Killing Whale Overlord Sword.

At this moment, Fujimaru Kyo had no time to complain about the simulator's low quality. His attack, fueled by blazing flames, hurtled towards Oda Nobunaga. This was an attack evolved from absolute stillness to absolute movement, a strike imbued with Fujimaru Kyo's resolve, but…

"It's like child's play."

Oda Nobunaga's influence on this body still lingered, a disdain for cold weapons. Even though the sword before him was now a renowned demonic sword, Oda Nobunaga still wanted to tell Fujimaru Kyoya.

My lord, times have changed.jpg

It was a continuous barrage of musket fire. The bullets, constructed with magic, didn't require the tedious process of "reloading." The firepower poured down on Fujimaru Kyoya, and no one could escape from such an inescapable trap.

really?

Divine foot power.

Using the Divine Speed ​​Technique within the Fire-Illuminated Buddha Prison would undoubtedly consume a large amount of magic power, but Fujimaru Kyoya didn't care about that. After all, he didn't have a good way to store magic power, and he would use it when necessary.

"Tsk~ What a troublesome thing."

Suddenly, a matchlock musket appeared behind Oda Nobunaga, blocking Murasame's path. Although it was eventually cut in half, this moment of obstruction allowed Oda Nobunaga to escape Murasame's attack range.

"This kind of attack can hardly be considered swordsmanship."

"A sword is nothing more than a weapon, and swordsmanship is nothing more than the technique of killing. If one can kill efficiently, then what cannot be killed with a sword?"

Fujimaru Kyou also scoffed. If he could actually get a position at the Great Thunder Temple in the future, he would definitely become the Namo Gatling Bodhisattva and give these demons a proper physical salvation.

The flames entangling Murasame have subsided, but this is only for the next burst. Wuji Zhenchan can not only be used for meditation, but it is also very useful when used for attacking. The key is that this thing is like a charged normal attack, with no cooldown time and low mana consumption. It is so useful that it is incredibly easy to use.

The boundless Zen resonates, and thus I sever it.

Killing intent surged from Fujimaru Kyoya's body once more, igniting a karmic fire that caused a pillar of fire several meters long to coil around Murasame, attacking Oda Nobunaga with overwhelming force.

"Boom!"

A loud bang followed, and smoke billowed. The raging fire on Fujimaru Kyoya's blade subsided. He felt that his attack had definitely hit the enemy, but something felt off.

"You're really... taking advantage of my kindness."

Oda Nobunaga's voice came, along with an even greater sense of oppression. A huge, charred skeleton appeared around her, enveloping her completely. Fujimaru Kyoya's sword had just struck this skeleton.

Susanoo?

Hey sis, you haven't awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan either.

But, cheating? I can do that too.

Fujimaru Kyoya understood that the attack he had just delivered was the limit of his normal state. Even if he could unleash a stronger attack, he would need enough preparation time, and Oda Nobunaga would not give him that time.

"Indeed, human strength has its limits."
