I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"Ah ha? Monster? Poor monk?"

Ashiya Michiman first glanced at the man holding the iron rod with an innocent look on his face, and then revealed a cruel and cold smile.

"This is so unfair! I'm so upset I'm about to cry. They're actually saying I'm a monster or something. I can't tolerate this kind of misunderstanding... If they think I'm some lowly creature, I'll be very troubled... Ugh! It really bothers me!"

It was as if a heavy cold rain was falling from the sky. The moment Ashiya Doman opened his mouth, a chill poured down on everyone's heads.

In the eyes of everyone, Ashiya Doman's figure gradually became blurred... as if he was about to tear off his "human" skin and expose his true nature.

Worse than the devil, more cruel than the monster, more hideous than the beast, more bizarre than the ghost...sneers at the horror and weirdness of the creatures on earth and even the gods in heaven.

"Why do I want to protect this little guy? Because he's interesting, of course!"

A hideous smile, a kind no human could possess, appeared on Ashiya Doman's face. "That's the end of a nation! It's natural to be curious, right? It's natural to be excited, right? A hellish scene of devastation, filled with wailing, despair, and malice. If you save this person, you'll be able to witness it... Uuuuuuuuuuu! I'm so excited!"

Chapter 542 Laughter from the Darkness.

The malice emanating from the gathered people was instantly dispersed.

Simply because what they are facing is overwhelming "evil".

Like a gust of wind, like a quagmire, like a raging tide.

The "evil" that has become a substance instantly shatters people's rationality, peeling off the outer layer called "strength" to expose the fearful nature inside.

Yes, it's fear.

Even if they muster up the courage to run here, their nature is still fear.

Fear of one's own death, fear of the breakup of the family, fear of the collapse of the country.

This fear was dug out and devoured by Ashiya Doman.

At this moment, Ashiya Doman was like a beautiful beast that ate fear and malice.

"You all exude a sweet scent like nectar. Satisfied, satisfied! Huhuhuhu! Thank you all for your generous hospitality."

The shrill laughter shook the air, and suddenly several strange talismans with a picture of an eye appeared between Ashiya Doman's fingers.

"Since everyone has lost their fighting spirit, please allow me to take my leave first... Of course, I'll take these two with me as well. They're interesting toys after all... Hahahahahahahaha!"

A white talisman filled with a strange aura was thrown into the sky by Ashiya Doman. The next moment, a strange wind suddenly blew around Ashiya Doman, forcing everyone present to raise their hands to resist.

When the evil wind subsided and everyone opened their eyes again, where could they see Ashiya Doman?

Even Nura Rikuo and Oikawa Hyourei were nowhere to be found.

A feeling of confusion grew among the crowd... They didn't know whether they should continue to chase Nura Rikuo.

What brought them here was not bravery but ignorance. Having never seen the horror of monsters with their own eyes, they were just brave men, or perhaps their blood was getting the better of them.

Ashiya Doman's overwhelming malice revealed their inner fears to them in the most bloody way.

Should we continue to hunt down Nura Rikuo? Or should we let him go and wait for the outcome?

Ashiya Doman didn't care at all about what choices these people would make. To him, there was no difference between one ant and many ants.

A cold aura suddenly erupted in the deserted alley.

White cold air was spreading, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped below zero.

"Oh yeah?"

There was a hint of surprise in his tone, but the evil smile on Ashiya Michi's face did not change at all.

His arms, which were stretched across his body, were frozen by the cold air, and in front of him, Iikawa Hirayoshi, whom he had just rescued, was staring at him with extreme vigilance, while Nura Rikuo was protected behind her.

"Bingli! What are you doing?"

"Master Lu Sheng! This guy gives me a very dangerous feeling!"

The temperature around was still dropping, and the moisture in the air gradually condensed into snowflakes and fell... These phenomena all came from Ishikawa Hirayari's ability to control ice and snow.

Oikawa Hirayori didn't dare to take her eyes off Ashiya Michiman for even a second, and shouted to Nura Rikuo behind her: "Even the worst and most brutal monsters I've ever seen are countless times more innocent than this guy... Such a guy is definitely not human! Simply... Simply..."

It is simply a black sun that constantly spreads malice to the earth!

Before seeing its figure with her own eyes, Ikawa Bingli would never have believed that such a pure concentration of malice could exist in this world.

Although Ikawa Hirayoshi didn't say this out loud, she believed that Nura Rikuo definitely had the same idea as her.

"Bingli."

A hand suddenly pressed on Ikawa Bingli's shoulder, causing her body to stiffen slightly.

"Oh yeah?"

And Ashiya Doman smiled with interest, as if he had seen something interesting.

"No matter who he is, it's a fact that he helped us. Before repaying this favor, attacking him based solely on a sense of foreboding is not the style of our Nura Clan."

Although Nura Rikuo's appearance has not changed much, his temperament is completely different from before.

Although still very young...but Nura Rikuo does have the temperament of a leader who can lead monsters, which is roughly equivalent to the [Leadership Temperament] of E to D level.

"But……"

Ikawa Bingli frowned slightly, "The other party also said that he wanted to turn this country into hell..."

"Those were just jokes. How could I possibly do such an inhumane thing? I'm a very kind person."

After shaking his arms to get rid of all the ice, the smile on Ashiya Michi's face suddenly became harmless. The seamless change made it difficult to associate him with the figure that exuded overwhelming malice before.

"Don't stare at me with such suspicion. Although I did do a lot of bad things in the past, but... but, I have turned over a new leaf now. After all, I was severely punished when I did the bad things. Now I am redeeming myself for my crimes and making meritorious contributions... hehehe!"

After staring at Ashiya Doman's smile for a long time, Nura Rikuo turned to look at Oikawa Hyourei.

"Look, now that they've said that, can we give them a little trust?"

"That's not right, Master Lu Sheng! This sounds too suspicious, doesn't it?"

In the eyes of Ichikawa Hiraya, Ashiya Doman is a pure embodiment of malice. For such a being to say that he has turned over a new leaf is like the stud Zeus announcing to the gods that he intends to keep himself clean.

Especially the other party’s last laugh...that laugh didn’t sound like a good person’s laugh at all.

Nura Rikuo smiled at Iikawa Hyourei, patted her shoulder as if to comfort her, and then looked at Ashiya Doman.

"In the name of the Third Hokage of the Nura Clan, we will never forget your help, but..."

Suddenly, Nura Rikuo's temperament became sharp, and his invisible momentum pointed directly at Ashiya Doman like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.

"If we discover that you are harming humans or causing chaos in Nura Clan's territory... then I will personally chop off your head."

This is Nura Rikuo's insistence, and it is the rule he set when he became the Lord of the Hundred Demons.

Whether they are humans or monsters, he will carry them all on his shoulders and protect them all.

He will never let go of any evil monsters that hurt humans at will or any dangerous people who disrupt the balance of the world, and he will definitely kill them.

Soon, that sharp aura disappeared from Nura Rikuo, and he returned to his original gentle, harmless, and even easy-to-bully appearance.

"I'm Nura Rikuo, the Sandaime of the Nura Clan. What's your name?"

"Hmmmm... self-introduction? Does that mean I've gained even the most basic trust? Congratulations, congratulations..."

After clapping twice, Ashiya Doman suddenly showed an embarrassment. "But, my name... This is really troublesome. Once my name is known to others, many bad things will happen... So please forgive me and just call me Limbo, or Alterego Limbo is fine. I don't mind. Huhuhuhu!"

"And then, as for my identity... I'm just a Harima-ryu Onmyoji. I can't compare to the famous Nura clan... Fufufu!"

"Onmyoji?"

Oikawa Hiraya and Nura Rikuo looked at each other in surprise.

"Is he an Onmyoji like Hanakaiin and the others?"

"Mmmmm! Hanakaiin... You could say that, or maybe Hanakaiin and the others are Onmyojis like this poor monk... Hehehe!"

Bending slightly towards Nura Rikuo, Ashiya Doman smiled faintly and said, "It's such an honor to be able to have this conversation with the dignified Third Hokage of the Nura Clan. However... you seem to have run into some minor troubles, so now isn't the right time to chat."

Nura Rikuo understood what Ashiya Doman was talking about.

"This country will be destroyed. If you want to save it, you must kill the child of humans and monsters - Nura Rikuo."

This is a prophecy from the Yokai Piece.

"Let me give you a little reminder. This is something I just discovered."

Using these words to attract the attention of Nura and Rikuo, Ashiya Doman slowly spoke, "Those who attacked you earlier... there was something strange about their aura. Although it was very faint, I could still sense that they were instigated by sorcery."

"witchcraft?"

"Yes, it's probably a sorcery that makes people more likely to believe certain information and lose their minds... It's a kind of sorcery. The downside is that it can only affect ordinary people with weak wills. The upside is that the effect is fast and covers a wide area."

Tilting his head, Ashiya Michiman spoke as if recalling something, "That thing... is called the Internet, right? With that, the entire country could be affected by this technique overnight. Compared to my time when we were isolated from information, this is much more difficult to do... Although in my opinion, it's still a low-level thing, huhuhuhu! I'm a multi-talented monk!"

"Is there any way to stop this?"

Nura Rikuo looked at Ashiya Doman anxiously.

"Hmm? Hmm? You actually asked for help from someone like me? You actually gave trust to someone like me? What a sweet feeling!"

As he spoke these ambiguous words, the smile in Ashiya Michimitsu's eyes grew more intense.

"However, unfortunately, there's no better solution... The situation is already settled, and the technique has already been successfully performed. Even if you kill the perpetrator, it won't change anything... But at least you can prevent the situation from getting worse."

"Then, then what? Let me think about it... Then we can only prove it with reality and actions."

"After all, think about it, fake things are fake. Once they encounter reality, they will naturally be resolved and fall apart, right?"

After understanding what Ashiya Doman meant, Nura Rikuo smiled confidently.

"In other words... as long as I can kill the mastermind and prove to everyone my determination to protect humanity, that's all that's left?"

After saying that, Nura Rikuo and Ashiya Doman passed each other, as if they had embarked on a Shura road from which they would never turn back.

"Let's go, Bingli."

As if mesmerized by the other's back, Iikawa Bingli stared at Nura Rikuo in a daze, until she was called out, she suddenly came to her senses and followed him in a panic.

"Wait...wait for me! Master Lu Sheng!"

"Do you think you can do this? Nura Rikuo."

Ashiya Doman's sudden voice made Nura Rikuo pause.

"Having been betrayed by humans, can you truly hold on to your own heart, seek out the mastermind hidden among the people, eliminate him, and completely reverse your image in the eyes of humans? Human words can sometimes be more hurtful than a weasel's claws."

"Who do you think I am?"

There was arrogance in his tone.

As the sky gradually darkened, Nura Rikuo's back gradually became taller.

The hair blown by the evening breeze gradually turned into black and white.

Looking back slightly, Nura Rikuo gave Ashiya Doman a wild and unrestrained smile.

"I am the man who bears all the burdens of humanity and monsters. If I am frightened by such a small matter, how can I be the Lord of Monsters?"

With confident steps, Nura Rikuo took out the long sword he carried with him and walked towards the end of the alley.

"Besides...if I hide in the dark corner and don't come out, that demagogue will just laugh triumphantly, right? Since he's angered me, I have to drag him out and chop him up."

侐'Master Lu Sheng is so handsome...'

Her little face flushed, her eyes sparkled with longing, and Ikawa Bingli showed the expression of a young girl in love.
