In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

As you gazed at Rashomon bathed in sunlight before leaving, and at the growing crowd on Suzaku Avenue, a strange feeling stirred within you.

Even though you still don't like this country.

But over the years, you've grown less resistant to people of this era than you were at the beginning.

The sins of our ancestors should be borne by those who benefit from them in the future.

But how do the sins of later generations benefit or relate to those of their ancestors?

Time cannot be reversed, and the positive and negative cannot be changed.

Such is the nature of Yin and Yang, and thus of Heaven and Earth.

You are deep in thought.

[Having left Rashomon, I've also left Kyoto.]

Accompanying you are Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who has been waiting at the door, along with his three Heavenly Kings.

"I've wanted to ask that before."

The rolling mountains seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance. On the roads worn smooth by countless footsteps, the shadow of Kyoto had long since vanished beyond the horizon. Gazing at the figures of his companions, Lu Kang slowly spoke, "Are the three of you the only ones under Minamoto no Yorimitsu?"

Upon hearing this, Watanabe Tsuna responded with a blank expression, "If it's not three people, how many could there be?"

Urabe Kitake still appeared quite afraid of Lu Kang.

Sadamitsu Usui was taciturn.

Seeing their reaction, Lu Kang thought that it was another discrepancy caused by the change in timeline. Logically speaking, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who was already famous throughout the world at this time, should not have only three subordinates. Sakata Kintoki, the most mysterious assassin in the Heian period and the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings under Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who was later widely known as the strongest assassin in the Heian period, and the famous Kintaro, who was as famous as Momotaro, should have appeared by now.

However, this slight change does not affect the overall situation.

This slight discrepancy is irrelevant to Lu Kang's plan.

"We should be about there by now."

Lu Kang paused.

Then, amidst the bewildered gazes of Watanabe no Tsuna and the others, a flick of his sleeve revealed wisps of dark clouds gathering.

The rolling clouds, like dark clouds rising from the ground, lifted Lu Kang's figure up, making him look like a 'demon' being born, yet without any demonic aura.

This is...

“The dark clouds of evil spirits are manifesting.” Lu Kang said, “Come on up, everyone.”

"This way of traveling will allow us to reach our destination more quickly—we are pressed for time and cannot afford to take it one step at a time."

He pointed to several dark clouds in front of him.

At will, multiple shikigami can be commanded.

Is this the power of the most top-tier Onmyoji of this era?

Watanabe Tsuna was deeply shocked.

Throughout this process, Minamoto no Yorimitsu remained silent, but as he gazed at the dark clouds and Lu Kang above them, the glint in his eyes beneath his armor became even more pronounced.

You really are a 'god'.

She was finally so certain, so convinced.

...

You rose up from the clouds.

Compared to walking on land or riding a horse, this speed is undoubtedly much faster.

Even if the price is that you have to be constantly attacked.

Things in the heavens are always much more obvious than things on earth.

Boom!

Dark purple lightning fell from the sky, tearing a wide path through the surging tide of demons.

His tall figure, clad in full armor, wielded a long sword and commanded lightning, his entire body seemingly enveloped in layers of lightning.

"Truly worthy of being called the most powerful and mysterious assassin of our time."

Lu Kang sighed as he watched this scene unfold.

He watched as Minamoto no Yorimitsu, riding a cloud and leading the way, strolled leisurely amidst the dense horde of demons, remaining untouched by their presence.

As a 'mage', one should naturally have the style of a mage.

With a flick of his sleeve, he commanded the phantom spirits—annihilating countless demons along with their very existence.

The two figures were almost neck and neck, one in front of the other. Watanabe Tsuna and the others following behind barely had a chance to make a move and could only watch.

Watching the two of them race side by side.

They watched as the two of them wiped out the entire den of demons that had been entrenched in the air in just a short time.

"What a monster!"

Watanabe no Tsuna, who had mastered the most advanced martial arts of the era, couldn't help but say that he was undoubtedly the top martial artist of the Heian period, but he could only sigh in despair when faced with this divine power that did not belong to the mortal world.

However, just when they thought this demonic attack would be nothing more than a minor episode in their journey, just like before.

The thunder, which had been gradually fading, suddenly roared back up.

At this moment, when the demons had been completely wiped out, in this instant—it did not emerge from Minamoto no Yorimitsu, but from below.

Rising from the surrounding rolling hills, it resembles crimson flames rising from the ground.

"Um!?"

Lu Kang flicked his sleeve to disperse them, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu was enveloped in a mist of lightning, which rippled like purple water snakes. In the sudden turn of events, he abruptly looked down at the surging red lightning below.

And amidst the thunder, a colossal figure slowly rose.

A crimson dragon.

To be more precise.

"Another manifestation of a deity's spirit..."

"The Crimson Dragon Mountain God?"

Chapter 128 Minamoto no Yorimitsu Under the Armor: It Was All a Conspiracy by Junior Wa

At this moment, a colossal creature slowly rose from between the mountains below. Its shape was long and slender, like a python, and its body was covered with fine, crimson scales. As it undulated, four eagle-claw-like legs could be seen gripping the air as if climbing. Its tail was covered with lush thorns, and from a distance, it resembled a dense forest. Its head had a pair of crimson horns, a protruding dog nose, and two long whiskers, resembling a horse's head.

Its shape and posture truly resemble the ancient mythical beast from the great celestial empire, and the 'dragon' that ancient gods should possess.

In the instant it manifested in endless thunder.

And also in the instant it displays its posture.

Those in the rear, including Watanabe no Tsuna, also felt a suffocating sense of oppression.

That was an unrestrained outpouring of something extremely ancient and mysterious—an endless manifestation of the divine spirit's partial manifestation.

The god of Chilong Mountain is also known as the 'Thunder God Chilong'.

The moment Lu Kang saw its posture, he immediately knew its identity—as an Onmyoji, reading through the 'Hyakki Emaki', which records all the gods, turtles, and demons of the Heian period, was the most basic course of study.

Among them, the being before us, with its dragon-like form, is undoubtedly of paramount importance. It is a great demon no less powerful than Ibuki-dōji—or perhaps even a great demon god who is subtly superior to it!

Although Ibuki-dōji was also a manifestation of the first generation of gods, he had abandoned his divinity and retained some 'demonic nature'.

The divinity of the Thunder God Crimson Dragon remains, and is still very strong.

He still considers himself a 'mountain god'.

It is also different from a living god like Minamoto no Yorimitsu who descended into human form.

It is a 'non-human god'!

Of course, compared to all that has been recorded in this era, Lu Kang knows far more.

He knew that the Thunder God Red Dragon before him would also leave his mark on posterity.

However, it is not due to its own existence.

Rather, it was because of his descendants, known as 'Sakata Kintoki'.

In later legends, Sakata Kintoki, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of Sehiko, was also the offspring of a mountain demon bestowed upon him by the Thunder God Red Dragon.

This is also why Lu Kang suddenly thought of Sakata Kintoki's existence.

Yes.

He already knew that he had entered the territory of this 'Red Dragon Mountain God'.

He knew that too.

And what is the reason for its existence?

Why the sudden attack?

"You dare to slaughter my bloodline!"

The thunder roared like thunder, and the roar was like thunder, piled up and added together, booming as it arrived, also mixed with the language of men and women spewing out from huge mouths.

At this moment, the dragon's head had risen into the air, at the same height as Lu Kang and the others who were riding the clouds.

At this moment, the man and the dragon made eye contact.

The intent to accuse was all too clear.

“Demons blocked our path, so we annihilated them.” Lu Kang unfolded his paper fan: “That’s all.”

Are you going to block our way too?

Compared to Lu Kang's calm tone, Minamoto no Yorimitsu exuded murderous intent, his body crackling with undiminished lightning.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu, as a living god, was born into the world with a 'responsibility'.

Under the operation of the cursed spirit system, the Heian period was relatively peaceful in the Yamato country, which was full of demons. However, disasters caused by demons always occurred. There were countless ghosts and gods born from people with extremely high spirituality.

Some people die because of this, while others live because of it.

Countless people have developed their own 'paranoia' because they resent this environment.

Such obsession can also be a form of inspiration.

Such accumulation of inspiration ultimately transformed into a kind of longing.

It is a yearning for the world's mystery to cease and for demons to disappear forever.

The one who received this yearning was the being named 'Minamoto no Yorimitsu'—or rather, the original deity who was a part of his being—who accepted this 'petition'.

Therefore, Minamoto no Yorimitsu was born to eliminate the mystery of the world.

Therefore, her existence is to sever the 'phenomenon' of demons that should not continue to exist but have continued to spread in the wrong form due to the misdemeanor of the minor character.

And it's not just demons.

All inhuman mysteries are things she seeks to destroy.

Everything that is not human, but divine or demonic, is her enemy.

Demon gods, who are rich in divinity and have nothing to do with 'humans', naturally bear the brunt!

"Insanity!"

Then the thunder dragon roared in fury, and crimson lightning rolled in like a tsunami.

Thus, Minamoto no Yorimitsu once again took the lead, his body, covered in full armor, slashing forward as if lifted by dark clouds!

Purple lightning cleaved through crimson lightning.

Even amidst the astonished gaze of the Crimson Dragon, they pressed on relentlessly!

"You...Indra—?"

"No, that's not right. It's not Indra, but a fragment of the spirit of Ox-Headed King!?"

In the midst of the chaos, the Crimson Dragon seemed to recognize the true identity of the living god before him, now shrouded in lightning.

The Buddhist Heavenly Emperor, Indra, who wields thunder and is the lord of the Twenty Devas, is the side figure of Indra, the Bull-Headed King.
