I'm in Type-Moon, I have a Holy Evil Simulator

That was the remains of Nagao Kagetora.

The body of this Buddhist martial god was not buried.

Because her body had been frozen into ice and sealed since the day of the Kasugayama Castle annual meeting by the mysterious power that suddenly erupted from Axue.

Even after so many years, Torachiyo is still as heroic and handsome as ever.

Her long black hair flowed down from the back of her slender head, hanging down to the bottom of the ice like a waterfall, and the pure white Western armor she wore was still as heroic as ever.

The skin of this martial goddess is as white as jade, and the light from the ice crystals reflects on her body, outlining her noble and upright curves.

If it weren't for the hole in his chest where his heart was, no one would have suspected that the guy inside the ice was actually dead.

Torachiyo was quietly sealed there, like an ice flower eternally imprisoned by a blizzard.

Master Tianshi walked into the meditation room silently, clasped his hands together and said softly to the ice:

"Jinghu, you have practiced for many years and become a Buddhist martial god, but you can't escape the cycle of life and death. I hope you can find peace and liberation in the paradise."

After saying this, the old monk silently lit a bunch of incense for Nagao Kagetora and prayed for him.

In the Zen room, the air was filled with curling incense and a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

Axue just continued to stand quietly in front of the ice. As the cigarette smoke rose, a hint of death flashed in his eyes that could not see.

"——Master, who am I?"

Axue has asked this question several times.

Why did he suddenly unleash the power of ice that could freeze his senior brother for such a long time?

Why had he never awakened this power in his previous life, and why hadn't he touched this mysterious power even at the moment of his death?

Master Tianshi just silently recited Buddhist scriptures, as usual, to pray for the soul of Nagao Kagetora.

"Is this indelibly connected to my life story, my destined death?"

And Axue could only learn the answers to all these questions from her adoptive father, Master Tianshi.

This seemingly old monk is actually a very extraordinary person.

Axue's Sujumaru Tsuneji is one of the five swords in the world, and this evil-destroying Buddhist sword is actually stored in this small Linquan Temple and is kept by the master himself.

Tianshi Guangyu was a highly respected Buddhist monk who often traveled to many countries.

And Axue is also an orphan picked up by Master Tianshi from outside. Why does he possess the power of ice and snow? Master Tianshi must know the reason behind it.

However, her master in the previous life died in the fire at Linquan Temple, so Axue naturally had no chance to explore her own life experience.

But nowadays...

Now Axue must know the truth of everything!

"...Why do you bother pursuing these questions, Xue."

Master Tianshi just lowered his graying brows.

"You are Axue, the Axue of Linquan Temple. This is your entire life. All the karma you should have had has been severed."

"Master! The Master you've always known! You know what kind of person I am!"

Axue's face showed a violent expression, and the storm that had been dormant in her body for a long time spread out again. In an instant, white frost began to rise in the Zen room!

"I don't have the awareness to become a monk at all! I want to live! I want to cut off all the injustices in this world! I want to make up for all the regrets—"

The silver-haired young man looked down at his master and spoke in an extremely cold voice.

"I want to...revive my brother!"

resurrection.

That is the art of bringing the dead back to life.

The art of immortality and the art of resurrection are the magical arts that mortals most want to possess.

In his previous life, Axue had been desperately searching for the art of immortality in order to break free from his [destined death].

And now, he is obsessed with resurrecting Nagao Kagetora through the art of resurrection, which is just a return to his original intention.

"The dead cannot be resurrected. This is the law of nature. Jinghu has now entered the cycle of reincarnation."

Master Tianshi was still trying to persuade Axue, but Axue could no longer hear a word from his master!

He grabbed Master Tianshi's shoulders tightly with both hands, and the white frost instantly stained Master Tianshi's robes!

"Master! Please tell me! Who am I? How can I revive my brother?!"

Facing the insane Axue, Master Tianshi felt that the white frost was rapidly depriving him of his body temperature. He believed that he would be killed by his adopted son Axue soon!

"——Axue, then you can kill your master."

Faced with the sudden arrival of death, Master Tianshi remained calm.

"If killing me can awaken your consciousness, then consider this as my last lesson for you."

Master Tianshi's fearless attitude completely moved Axue.

The silver-haired boy's anger disappeared in an instant. He simply withdrew his hand and said calmly, "Master, you don't have to hide it from me."

Then Axue smiled as if she was mocking herself, and spoke as if she accepted her fate.

"I... am a youkai, right?"

monster.

That is the weirdness in ghost stories.

Since the Heian period, when the demon king Shuten-doji of Mount Oe died at the hands of Minamoto no Raikou, the mysteries of Japan have rapidly dissipated, and the monsters that once filled the rivers and plains have suddenly disappeared.

This era has finally returned to the human world.

However, one can still often hear folk rumors about monsters wandering in the mountains.

Axue knows.

This power of ice and snow that cannot be understood by common sense is definitely a mysterious power that humans cannot possess.

This is a sorcery that only monsters can inherit!

"Now I understand, the reason why my name is 'Snow' is because of this stupid reason?!"

Axue laughed out loud.

"I'm actually a monster! Am I the child of a snow woman?! That monk from Linquan Temple, who is hailed as the reincarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva and possesses the evil-destroying Buddhist sword, Sujumaru Tsuneji, is actually the son of a monster?!"

Facing his adopted son Axue's collapse, Master Tianshi was silent for a long time, then he sat cross-legged on the futon and finally spoke -

"Axue, your mother is indeed a monster. Just as you thought, she is the most beautiful Snow Princess in the legend. That's why you have such a strange face."

"That is to say..."

Hearing that his master had finally given in, the silver-haired young man also sat down cross-legged.

"My father is human, and I am a half-demon?"

"Do not."

Master Tianshi shook his head.

"In this day and age, it is absolutely impossible for monsters and humans to have children."

Half demon.

That is a hybrid of monster and human.

Before the Heian period, this Far Eastern country was extremely mysterious, so some fantasy species did not return to the inner sea of ​​the star, but lived on this island country.

These fantasy species are called "monsters" by humans.

The offspring of a human and a monster are called half-monsters.

Humans with half-demon bloodlines can often awaken extremely terrifying powers, capable of dominating all power and wars in the world.

For example, Minamoto no Raikou, who killed the Demon King, his grandmother was the demon girl Momiji, who inherited the powerful half-demon blood.

Minamoto no Raikou, the strongest mysterious killer, was born as the incarnation of Indra. However, before she possessed powerful divinity, she also possessed the face of the bull-headed demon king named "Ugly Gozen".

However, since the mystique of Japan quickly disappeared, monsters can no longer give birth to offspring with humans.

From then on, half-demons no longer existed in this world.

"Then who am I...?"

Axue lowered her head, confused.

His mother is a snow woman, but his father sounds human.

Since half-demons can no longer exist, what exactly is Axue now?

"Before that, let me tell you a story."

Master Tianshi narrated this calmly.

"A long time ago, there lived a kind-hearted old couple in a certain place. They had no children, so one snowy day, to relieve their loneliness, the old couple made a child-shaped doll out of snow."

"So one snowstorm night, a child suddenly appeared in the old couple's home."

"They were surprised and delighted by the child's visit, so they treated him like their own child and took good care of him."

"But as spring approached, the child gradually became thinner, causing the old couple great worry. Then, without anyone noticing, the child suddenly disappeared. This is the story of the Snow Boy."

After hearing this story, Axue's face instantly became extremely embarrassed, and he asked back in disbelief.

"Master, what you mean is... I... am the doll made of snow."

"Your mother is a beautiful snow girl."

Master Tianshi did not answer, but began to talk about Axue's parents.

"But as a youkai, the snow woman fell in love with a man she shouldn't have."

"So, the day before the man was to marry his wife, your mother secretly killed his fiancée and used her flesh and blood to transform into her likeness."

Master Tianshi turned the Buddhist beads, without any sadness or joy.

"The days just passed one by one."

"But because monsters and humans cannot have children, your father has never had any children."

"That's why your grandfather was furious. Since you are from a prominent family, you must have a child."

"......so?"

Axue clenched her fists unconsciously.

"Your mother then remembered the story of the Snow Boy."

Master Tianshi's cloudy eyes revealed memories of the past.

"So... your mother, the snow woman, molded her entire being into a snow doll, and in this way, gave birth to a child for your father."

"That's you, Axue."

Master Tianshi's words made Axue's face completely frozen.

"This is your [destined death]."

"Because... you are a doll molded by your mother's demonic power. This is what is called going against the will of heaven."

"So, once the spell expires, you will naturally die."

Master Tianshi clasped his hands together and said with a look of compassion on his face.

"Just like the snow boy in the story, when spring arrives, you will turn into a puddle of snow and melt away completely, leaving no trace of you in the entire world."

This is a happy secret that cannot be told to anyone.

This is the secret guarded by Master Tianshi and Axue's mother.

In this way, by circumventing the so-called constraints of heaven, the existence of half-demons was forcibly created in today's era.

So Axue was born blind.

Because from the moment he was born, he was destined to be unforgivable!

However, Axue's mother, the fruit of love that the snow girl had painstakingly called back with her own life, was not accepted by the prestigious Takeda family!
