People in Type-Moon have a hero simulator.

Your sword and Oda Nobunaga's attack were locked in a stalemate, neither gaining the upper hand for the time being.

You understand that if things continue like this, you'll be at a significant disadvantage.

Indeed, delaying was also disadvantageous for Fujimaru Kyo, but he still went all out to force Oda Nobunaga to use all his strength.

The events just now have proven that this karmic fire is not harmless to Oda Nobunaga either. In that case, let's see who can't withstand it first.

Let the fires of karma burn even more fiercely.

"You think you can scare me like that?"

Oda Nobunaga also sensed the other party's purpose, and continued to increase his attacks without suppressing the Infernal Fire in order to force her to go all out and continuously increase the output power of the Infernal Fire.

Between a human and a demon, who will succumb to the scorching flames of karma first?

is her.

Although Fujimaru Kyoya had transformed into a demon, his physique as a cultivator made him even more vulnerable to the scorching flames of karma. Under normal circumstances, he should have collapsed first, but Oda Nobunaga's will was not strong enough.

No, rather than saying that Oda Nobunaga's will was not firm, it would be more accurate to say that it began to weaken as his consciousness was eroded by Mara.

"Damn it, don't you want to kill the person standing in your way that's blocking your path to dominance?"

Oda Nobunaga began to mutter to herself, as if someone was holding her back, which made her very anxious.

"Whether I win or lose, I should die as myself. You... get out of my way."

The manic aura was suppressed, and the indifference in Oda Nobunaga's eyes disappeared, replaced by a pair of eyes that never gave up.

"Fifty years in this world are like a dream or an illusion. There is life and there is death. What regrets can a brave man have?"

Oda Nobunaga knew perfectly well that fighting for control of consciousness with Mara at such a crucial moment would lead to her defeat, but this was her last chance to reclaim her body.

If she doesn't reclaim her body, then even if Mara ultimately wins, it will be Mara's victory, and she will have nothing to do with it.

Whether she succeeds or fails, no one can take away what belongs to her.

"amazing."

Fujimaru Kyoya's praise was entirely genuine, and his sword moved with the utmost unwavering resolve.

Oda Nobunaga got what he wanted, and Fujimaru Kyoya naturally wouldn't waste this opportunity.

As I see it, I will cut it down.

This sword shattered the hail of bullets, destroyed the phantom of Mara, and also felled a hero who should have reigned supreme.

"I'm sorry, we had no grudge against each other."

Fujimaru Kyoya looked at the Murasame sword. A few drops of rainwater seeped from the blade, washing away the blood on it, and the malevolent flames on his body began to dissipate as Oda Nobunaga fell to the ground.

As the burning house and the Buddhist hell dissipated, the boundless karmic fire also subsided.

"At least... I died as myself. I chose this outcome myself, so I can't blame anyone else."

Perhaps because he was close to death, Oda Nobunaga became much more open-minded.

The flames began to die out, just like the flame of her life, and also like the flame of her ambition.

"Amitabha."

Fujimaru Kyoya sheathed his sword and left. He no longer had the strength to continue fighting. Although the karmic fire scorched his spirit, the damage to his physical body from such a long period of high-intensity karmic fire was by no means light.

The bell of Gion Shrine tolls, telling us that all things in this world are impermanent.

The flowers of the Sal tree have lost their luster; what was once vibrant must inevitably decline and fade like the passing of time.

A life of extravagance and luxury is short-lived, like a fleeting dream on a spring night.

The tyrannical and domineering will eventually perish, just like dust rising in the wind.

Chapter 103 Reunion

News of your killing of Oda Nobunaga has spread, causing widespread panic. You and many others are filled with fear, and the "Innocent Monster" effect is amplified.

[Your current formidable reputation has made no one dare to covet the demon sword Murasame, but you have also completely become a monster. Was it worth it?]

You mingled among the crowd, watching the changing times unfold, while history continued its steady march forward. Hideyoshi Hashiba inherited everything from the Oda family, ultimately becoming the one who would seize power and change his name to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

[You've heard that Toyotomi Hideyoshi issued the "Sword Hunt Order."]

The so-called "Sword Hunting Edict" is said in history textbooks to have been initially implemented by Shibata Katsuie in a small area, while Toyotomi Hideyoshi's "Sword Hunting Edict" this time aimed to solidify the class distinction between samurai and commoners.

But in Fujimaru Kyoya's eyes, this was just an excuse to seize his cursed sword, Murasame.

Although Toyotomi Hideyoshi held a very high position, he was essentially just inheriting Oda Nobunaga's legacy. Therefore, there might be many rebellions like Shibata Katsuie's, which would make the cursed sword in Fujimaru Kyoya's hands very important.

Unfortunately, the large-scale operation failed to capture Fujimaru Kyoya, who possessed "clairvoyance," and the weak and isolated attackers ultimately became nothing more than victims of Fujimaru Kyoya's blade.

"Liao Chen?"

A strangely familiar voice came through, instantly energizing the slightly weary Fujimaru Kyoya. It was a voice he would never forget in his entire life.

"It's been a long time, Master."

Fujimaru Kyoya turned around and saw the aged figure; the monk Kōgen looked even older now.

You're somewhat reluctant to face your master because you're no longer human; you're now a living, breathing demon.

You've changed a lot.

As a highly accomplished monk, Kongxuan could naturally tell at a glance that the disciple before him had become a complete monster.

However, all phenomena are illusory, and Kongxuan would not change his views because of changes in race.

"I heard you killed Oda Nobunaga?"

The legend of the demon sword monk slaying Oda Nobunaga at Honnoji Temple is somewhat similar to the legend of Minamoto no Yorimitsu slaying Shuten-dōji, except this time it was a demon slaying a human instead of a human slaying a demon.

Not to mention that with Toyotomi Hideyoshi's encouragement, the demon sword monk Ryōchō had become synonymous with a demon, so naturally no one would believe that he was a real person.

This story is mostly regarded as a legend, a rumor spread by the real murderer of Oda Nobunaga to mislead the public.

The truth will be treated as a rumor, and a rumor will be treated as the truth.

"Yes."

"what happened?"

Although Kongxuan never left the mountain, he had unique insights into the current situation. Although Oda Nobunaga was an enemy of Buddhism, he was indeed the person most likely to end the chaos at that time.

Fujimaru Kyoya killed her, which forced the war to continue, undoubtedly adding to the negative karma.

However, he did not immediately scold the other party, but listened to Fujimaru Kyoya recount everything in detail.

The Heavenly Demon will descend upon the world, and Mara will be reborn.

Even the Venerable Master Kongxuan, who had lived for so long, said he had never seen such a story before. His disciple was truly extraordinary, like Shakyamuni farting.

"Is this the price you paid?"

Kongxuan could sense the karma on Fujimaru Kyoya's body, the abnormal karma and the changes it brought to his physical body, which was beyond what a cultivator would encounter.

This means that it is a trial given to Fujimaru Kyoya by heaven, but such a trial makes even Kōgen feel sorry for him.

They are no longer human, yet the trial is still not over. Even killing Mara's projection is not the end. When will it ever end?

"I will not stop. As long as I continue to cultivate myself, the path beneath my feet will continue to extend."

Although it's a tired, overused joke, Fujimaru Kyoya said it very seriously because that's exactly his situation.

"Master, please don't come looking for me anymore, it's too dangerous."

Fujimaru Kyoya got up and left. He knew he was still not safe and needed to go to a more remote place.

You've left the city, and unless absolutely necessary, you won't go into any crowded places.

You live in the mountains, keeping company with birds and beasts, subsisting on wild fruits and vegetables, and occasionally hunting animals to exchange their fur for currency.

[You sensed peace. The demonic sword in your hand hadn't drunk blood for a long time; it was very dissatisfied, yet its demonic nature was being transformed by you.]
