"Kid, what's the name of that last move...?"
Yato returned the gaze.
A ripple suddenly appeared on her usually calm face.
He smiled and said:
"That one? I'd really like to call it 'Great Power Generator,' but I think 'Narukami' might be a better name for it."
Chapter 144
"Kid, from now on you're a member of [Insects]."
Ten Ghost Snakes and Two Tigers jumped down from the pile of junk and grinned.
"and many more!"
Xia Ji got up from the ground, gritting his teeth.
“He cheated! I told him he could only use his hands, but he hid something in his forearm. If he hadn’t had that, he would have failed long ago.”
Ten Demon Snakes and Two Tigers glanced at him, their tone indifferent:
"That's it... Kid, what do you say?"
"The fact that none of the guys who have already lost have any questions says a lot."
Without turning his head, Yato pointed with his thumb to Ryūmin, who was slumped on the ground behind him, still unconscious, and then spread his hands, saying:
"Also, I admit that I carry weights on my arms, but can weights be considered weapons? In my opinion, when I fight with them on, that burden is also part of my body."
Xia Ji was almost driven mad by his shameless attitude.
question?
He's already unconscious, and it looks like he won't wake up today. How can you question him?
Did you give him a chance to question it?
As for the issue of weights... was it me who made you wear weights during the battle?
"I……!"
"Alright, Xia Ji, that's enough."
Ten Ghost Snakes and Two Tigers suddenly interrupted.
The lifelike beast eyes gleamed with a cold light.
"I've already given you an explanation. If you continue to argue unreasonably, even if I let it slide for the sake of the leader, I can still have a friendly spar with you."
"..."
Xia Ji's body stiffened.
Even a martial artist and top-notch assassin of his caliber was unable to move under the murderous gaze of Tokita Nitora.
The eyes of Tokita and Nitora were clearly telling a story—
"If you say one more word, you're finished."
In this situation, simply not trembling is already a huge effort.
To refute? To obstruct?
What a joke! When this man gets serious, no one can defy him.
"Hmph, let's go."
Ten Ghost Snake and Two Tiger tilted their heads back and drank the last of their wine.
He threw the bottle away.
The glass shattered on the ground, and some of the flying shards landed on Xia Ji, but he seemed not to feel it and didn't dare to utter a sound.
Leaving the factory, Yato, Narukami Koharu, and Tokita Nitora strolled casually along the wide, well-maintained main road, large enough for airplanes to run on.
"Hey kid, here you go."
Suddenly, Tokita Nitora tossed something to Yato.
"This is?"
Yato quickly caught it with his hand, opened it, and took a look.
It was a small bottle, about the size of a fingernail. Through the glass, you could see that it contained some black, shiny powder.
"Apply this to your body, anywhere is fine, but it's best to apply it to places that are easy for others to see. Apply it now."
Tokita Nitora stopped and turned to look at Yato.
A strange smile hung on his stubble-covered face.
"..."
Yato glanced at Narukami Torahiro, who gave him a cute wink, and without further hesitation, he unscrewed the cap, poured the powder onto his right forearm, and spread it evenly.
Strangely enough, when the powder touched the skin, it made a hissing sound that made your scalp tingle, just like sulfuric acid.
A needle-like pain came from my skin.
But this level of pain wasn't even enough to make Yato frown.
Within seconds, the black powder completely dissolved into the skin.
No trace was left.
However, Yato keenly noticed that something was extra on his arm.
With a degree of caution, we tentatively began to exert our efforts.
Immediately afterwards, a tattoo resembling a centipede slowly appeared.
It turns out to be this.
Yato's eyes gleamed when he saw the tattoo.
He then tried to relax his arms.
Sure enough, the tattoo disappeared again.
"Looks like I don't need to explain how to use this thing to you."
Seeing that Yato had mastered the use of activating the tattoo without any instruction, Tokita Nitora grinned.
"This thing is the symbol of the [Insect], but the symbols of each faction are subtly different. You'll find out when you meet people from other 'groups' later. For now, you're considered one of my people, and your position is tentatively set as Senior Combatant, directly under me. No one except the leader has the right to give you orders."
"And I know that you smart young people have a lot of ideas, but whatever your purpose is, you'd better not think about betraying the organization before you have the ability to do something. Otherwise, that tattoo could be the death of you."
"This is... poison?"
Yato felt a chill run down his spine.
"Who knows, it's only poisonous when it's useful, and when it's not, it's just air."
The ten demon snakes and two tigers smiled mockingly.
"Speaking of which, Igarashi-kun, since you passed that insect's test, I should fulfill the conditions according to the agreement."
The moment the words fell.
He moved without warning.
The speed was no slower than when Yato broke through Ryūmin's attack earlier.
But that's not the point.
The key point is that Yato didn't react in time.
The crisis instinct seemed to have crashed.
Even the brain slows down.
Distracted, lost in thought? In a state similar to this.
By the time he realized what was happening, Ten Ghost Snake and Two Tigers had already placed a palm on his chest!
boom!
Yato only took one step back before regaining his footing.
Ultimately, the opponent didn't use much force in that palm strike.
It's like two people facing each other, and you're suddenly pushed.
"...?"
poof.
Heart palpitations.
As if he had been stimulated by something.
Blood circulation accelerates, muscles begin to engorge with blood, and blood vessels swell and bulge, spreading all over the body like earthworms, looking quite ferocious.
The surging power was like the most violent volcanic eruption, and the enormous heat from the rapid increase in blood almost burned and melted every part of the body!
This feeling is similar to that of a conqueror, but the two are like flowing water and lava, completely different in nature.
This is not power that appears out of thin air, but rather power that is gained by pushing the body to an overloaded state, resulting in 'uncontrolled power'.
In this state, Yato felt his bodily functions surging wildly. The feeling, like being poisoned, made his nervous system operate at an unprecedented level. A thrill of breaking limits was urging him to unleash it recklessly. But this power was like a flood; once the floodgates were opened, its flow could not be controlled, and it could only be allowed to rush about.
Even with his power generation technique, it was somewhat beyond his ability to control this force with the same precision as he usually did.
"Is this what they call 'borrowing from God'? No, is it 'by God'?"
Thanks to his memories of his past life, Yato quickly understood the current situation.
Although the Ten Demon Snakes and Two Tigers launched a surprise attack, they did not actually harm him. Instead, they used their unique methods to forcibly interfere with his heart's function, thus enabling him to 'rely on the gods'!
"Calm down, little girl."
Suddenly, the laughter of Tokita Nitora, which sounded like the wind had been polluted, reached my ears.
In addition, there was a tearing sound as if the air was being ripped apart.
Yato looked up.
The blonde girl, holding a katana, was locked in a standoff with Tokita Nitora.
No, strictly speaking, they've already taken action.
Beside the feet of the Ten Demon Snakes and Two Tigers, there was a knife wound more than two meters long and about one finger deep.
It was clearly caused by Narukami Torahiro wielding a sword.
Although the other party managed to dodge it, the girl did not give up.
He raised his katana, pointing it diagonally upwards.
—The Pill Manifests Its Own Flow, Right Dragonfly.
The moment this stance was adopted, even Yato, who was standing behind Narukami Torahiro, felt a chill run down his spine, let alone Tokita Nitora, who was facing the murderous aura directly.
"...Hey, hey, if this keeps up, I won't be able to stop."
The man, who was as fierce as a lion and tiger, abandoned his rashness. Although he remained composed, it was not hard to see his seriousness from his expression.
The pills flowed spontaneously.
This ancient sword style, which ignores the ultimate techniques, is not inherently difficult to deal with, but... once the ultimate techniques are mastered, it becomes a completely different story.
Moreover, the user is currently the strongest swordsman in Japan.
"..."
Narukami Torahiro narrowed his eyes, his waist slightly lowered and his legs spread wide, fully preparing for the strongest attack he was about to unleash.
I never considered what would happen if even this move failed to kill the opponent.
After all, one cannot master a technique without absolute faith in its secrets. Conversely, if one goes all out with a genuine desire to kill, one can elevate it to an unattainable level.
Just then, her perfect stance was ruined by the weight of a hand.
