My mother's love song

Dragging the other party into an inescapable barrier is outrageous enough, but they are also depriving them of their weapons. Isn't this equivalent to them being just clowns being played around by the other party?

Raikou also knew many Onmyojis and people with special powers, but he had never seen anyone who could do this.

Rhode rubbed the bottom of his nose with his index finger proudly: "If the opponent is a very skilled barrier master, he can do it...!?"

They felt the breath behind them

Raikou immediately turned around with force.

I actually allowed the enemy to get so close. Sure enough, I was too careless next to the Lord of Light. Although I thought so, I was wrong.

What appeared behind them was neither a person nor a ghost, but a black bird, a crow.

"You have come just in time. I am ashamed that you have the courage to come here alone, enemies of the demons, sons of Genji."

The bird spoke.

After hearing the crow's voice, which was physically disgusting, Raikou took a stance without thinking and reached for the sword at his waist.

However, she forgot that she had been disarmed.

Crow continued.

"Welcome to my city.

I am the Lord of Mount Oe, who commands all the demons, the Tensha Demon, the Tenmo Xiongming. "

"You are the legendary Tianxiegui..."

Lai Guang protected Rhodes behind him and stared at the crow with anger and hostility.

"It's no use staring at me like that, Genji's female warrior. This is just my shikigami."

The crow continued speaking without paying any attention to the angry Raikou.

"You must be thinking, 'We've been ambushed! They tricked us into coming to this place in the name of negotiation. Ghosts really can't be trusted!'"

You can't help imagining that, but that's not my intention."

"What do you want to do?"

"You came here to negotiate with me, right? If so, please continue on. I will be waiting for you at the deepest part of Rashomon.

However, I have no interest in talking to weak humans, if you want to see me, defeat the obstacles that appear along the way."

"Fight, fight, fight... Fight, what a pleasant word.

Fight with my followers called the Eight Generals and survive!

If that is the case, I would like to meet you."

"Stop talking to yourself! You took away our weapons and still want us to fight the enemy!?"

After all, it was related to Rhodes' safety, so Lai Guang was a little excited.

"Fuhahahaha! Minamoto no Raikou and Genji, who are praised as the strongest in Heian, should not be useless just because they lost their samurai swords! I look forward to your appearance..."

After saying these words, the crow turned into countless feathers and disappeared into the void.

"..."

The situation returned to that of Rhodes and Raikou being alone together.

Minamoto no Raikou pressed his clenched fist against his towering chest, his face full of worry: "Lord of Light, I..."

Rhodes, on the contrary, laughed heartily.

"Don't worry, even if I lose my sword I still have the strength to fight.

Leave it to me from now on...I will protect Raikou no matter what."

"........."

Minamoto no Raikou, who was in the position of a "protected person" for the first time in his life, had a dazed and helpless expression.

she thought.

What is the value of existence for a mother who cannot protect her children?

……

……

……

【Eight Generals Gods】.

It is the general name for the eight important gods in Japanese Onmyoji who are in charge of the directions, good and bad luck, and the heavenly stems and earthly branches. They are also called the Eight Shoguns.

According to the secret book of Yin-Yang Taoism "The Legend of the Golden Crow and the Jade Rabbit", the Eight Generals are the eight sons born to the Bull-Headed Heavenly King and the daughter of the Sāgara Dragon King, Policai.

They are star gods who are the incarnations of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, Ketu and Rahu respectively, and there are many corresponding theories between them and Buddhist gods.

Hachioji City, a famous wealthy area in Tokyo, Japan, is named after the belief in the eight generals of the Bull-Headed Heavenly King and his retinue.

"You dare to compare your subordinates to the Eight Generals Gods [sons of the Bull-Headed Heavenly King]? The guy called Tianxiegui is really an ignorant ghost. Isn't it, Raikou?"

Rhodes smiled and pulled Minamoto no Raikou into the first room leading to the Demon Kings.

Normally, the weakest boss battle would be what awaits here.

Then, the former leader of Oeyama who was defeated by the Amagi appeared in front of the two.

The little girl with blond hair, golden eyes and red horns folded her arms and stood proudly in front of Rhodes and Lai Guang.

"So it's Ibaraki Douji."

"Not Ibaraki! I am one of the Eight General Gods, the Star of the Morning Star, the God of Sui Xing!"

That's what she called herself.

"Wahahahahahahahahaha! How ugly! Genji's cow girl! She's hiding behind the little devil like a little girl!"

Without a sword, you can't kill demons. That's why humans are so weak. Even the pillar of the Genji clan is now like a stray dog!"

Ci... The Sui Xingshen did not miss this golden opportunity, and started to taunt as soon as he came up.

Despite such provocation, Minamoto no Raikou simply grabbed his forearm and remained silent.

Having lost her sword, she didn't even have the energy to protest.

"Speaking of the stray dog, you are the one, right?"

"Nani!?"

The person who spoke was Rod.

He stood in front of Sui Xing God and protected Lai Guang behind him.

"As the leader of Mount Oe, he was defeated by a demon from outside. He was willing to fawn on the new master, but was still arranged to be cannon fodder in the original boss room..."

Rhode said sarcastically: "Ibaraki, you are totally underestimated."

"What did you say!?"

Ibaraki Douji stomped the ground angrily: Didn’t you ask me to wait in this room? And you said the first room is the most important!!!

"Hey... Genji."

A huge demonic aura emanated from Ibaraki Douji, which instantly ignited into a raging fire.

"My comfortable life has dulled my horns... I seem to have forgotten how ghosts live."

She stared at Rhodes with an extremely sharp gaze and raised the nameless bone knife in her hand: "Ha! It will be okay if I use all my strength!"

Although Rhode had told them beforehand that when he brought Lai Guang here, they could use all their strength and there was no need to show mercy.

But Ibaraki Douji asked again.

I'm going to kill you here, so you won't complain, right?

This is the meaning hidden in the girl's words.

"...No problem. Come on, go all out." Rhodes hooked his finger provocatively.

"The 7749 battles I lost to you in the past will all become history! Genji! Today I will defeat you and avenge the humiliation I have suffered so far!!!"

Shouting loudly, Ibaraki Douji rushed towards the boy without giving him any chance to speak.

The girl who had turned into a fireman rushed in a straight line in the room without any shelter. Behind Rhodes was the unarmed Raikou, and he had no option to avoid.

"Rush, Bushihara! Rashomon's great resentment is rising!"

In response to this powerful attack, Rhodes raised one arm.

"Being knocked down time and time again but never remembering the lesson, it doesn't take long for you to think you're good enough again... To be honest, I don't hate this kind of farce, this is also the cute thing about you, Ibaraki.

After all, being weak is the cute part of a female ghost... But today I am very motivated, so if you wish, I will use my full strength a little bit."

After saying this, the young man swung his knife casually in a normal manner.

Wallpaper from top to bottom in the void.

boom! ! !

Right in front of Rhodes, it was as if an invisible cannonball flew past the ground, and a fault appeared in the room and space like Moses opening the sea.

A deep and wide trench was left on the floor, and Ibaraki Douji was lying in it with his eyes rolled back and foam coming out of his mouth. He had already lost consciousness.

This was Ibaraki's fastest defeat in the fifty challenges so far.

After all, Rhodes never took it seriously in the past.

"Lord of Light, you......"

Minamoto no Raikou stared in amazement at the young man who killed the leader of Mount Oe in an instant, and he casually put the hand into his sleeve.

"Okay, let's go to the next room."

……

Leading to the second room between the ghost kings.

There was a half-naked woman who was much taller than Minamoto no Raikou and was over two meters tall.

She has white hair, golden eyes, and red skin all over her body, with only the key parts covered by a tiger skin skirt and a chest wrap.

Both his arms and legs were full of muscles, and both his chest and buttocks were majestic. Considering his body size, he was even bigger than Raikou.

On the woman's shoulders was a ghost-gold stick that matched her body, and on her forehead was a pair of long ghost horns that indicated her identity.

"Who are you?!"

Rhodes stared at the unfamiliar female ghost in amazement.

I don't remember having a guy like you in Rashomon! ?

After all, is there a ghost like you on Mount Dajiang? Why have I never seen you?

"I am one of the Eight Gods, the Star-Suppressing God, the God of Years."

The red-muscled ghost girl carrying the ghost gold stick introduced herself.

Hearing her say this, Rhode held his chin and thought hard: "Sui Po Shen... Who is Sui Po Shen? Who did I let..."

"I am the tiger-bear boy." said the female ghost.

"Aha?"

Rhodes was stunned.

Because, in his understanding, the Four Heavenly Kings·Bear Boy should be a male ghost over three meters tall.

An ugly and terrifying face, a mouth full of fangs, thick body hair, a fat body full of power, and a belly that seems like a bottomless pit... This is probably the image.

But the woman standing in front of him now, who called herself Bear Paw, looked more like a demon from the Western fantasy world than a ghost.

Ah... She does look a bit like Ibuki, Rhode thought, but Ibuki is even taller than me, about 350cm.

"Are you really the Tiger-Bear Boy?" Rhodes asked.

She nodded heavily, stared at the boy and said, "That's right. After you... no, my king Tianmo Xiongming granted me the godhood of the Eight Gods and gave me the name of Sui Po Shen, my power has grown explosively.

I have reached the highest realm that a ghost can reach, and my appearance has changed into this new form now."

Rhodes suddenly realized: Evolution, right? I understand.

He remembered what Yaobikuni had said in the Shikigami lecture not long ago.
