Chapter 467 - Dumougao Muramasa
Fantasy castle, top floor.
Fujimaru Ritsuka revealed the opponent's true identity with one word, causing Musashi and Chiko Muramasa behind him to suddenly wake up.
"I see, he was the leader of the uprising in the Shimabara Rebellion? No wonder he hates the rule of the shogunate."
Qianzi Muramasa understood, but then the topic changed and his tone turned cold, "But you just hate and take revenge on the shogunate, but you actually let the heroic swordsman massacre ordinary people and made Axiu and the others lose their parents. This is your fall." It’s proof that you have become a demon, so don’t blame me for being rude!”
After saying this, Qianzi Muramasa threw back the white haori hanging on his shoulders, and then pulled out the demon sword from his waist with a clanging sound, glaring at the opponent with an angry look.
"Hmph, hahahaha! In the final analysis, you are just a second-rate Heroic Spirit, a second-rate swordsman, and a second-rate Master. What can you do with your strength?"
The white-haired young man, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who came from another world, just laughed, his eyes revealing deep contempt for the three of them.
"Since the Shimabara Rebellion, I have crossed more than twenty worlds, traveling between worlds like a ghost, transcending the past again and again, and reincarnating in purgatory again and again."
He grinned wildly, his eyes were scarlet, and a look of extremely violent anger appeared on his face, "I have experienced despair far more times than you! Let you taste it! My extremely angry realm of sorrow ! Rising up the waves of resentment, suffering from endless struggle! Appear, my endless purgatory——!"
"Is it an inherent barrier?"
Musashi's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he raised his sword without hesitation, trying to interrupt his chanting.
"Qiang!"
But before her sword could touch Amakusa Shiro, a long sword swept out from the darkness, blocking both of her swords with just one strike.
"Is there anyone else?"
Musashi looked stern, and was about to step forward, but the opponent's sword seemed to have eyes, blocking her way forward, forcing her to retreat quickly.
The next moment, Amakusa Shiro's chant had ended.
In an instant, before Musashi could see the hidden third person's face clearly, a fierce light like the sun descending in front of them appeared in front of several people.
Immediately afterwards, the space in front of everyone was quickly replaced.
By the time Musashi and the others came to their senses, the whole world had been turned upside down.
What they saw in front of them was no longer the top floor of the illusory castle, but a red wilderness.
flame.
Fiery flames.
Blazing flames.
Nothing but fire, fire.
The world in front of me was all filled with flames. Everything in the wilderness, whether it was grass, trees or rocks, was burning.
There are corpses all over the mountains and plains, corpses with knives and guns pierced through the body, bodies with heads and limbs severed, corpses with extremely bloody internal organs exposed... And these corpses, without exception, are all burning in the flames, with the skin and flesh burned away, Burn the bones and burn to ashes.
What he saw before his eyes was a scene like hell on earth.
"This is that guy's trump card...Ritsuka, don't walk around casually. The evil energy is everywhere here, and it's so strong that just one breath of air will poison you, making your body and mind weird."
There was only purgatory in front of him, nothing else, not even his own body. Musashi and Chiko Muramasa seemed to disappear from his eyes, and only the sound reached his ears.
"Musashi-chan? Mr. Muramasa? Where are you?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka listened to Musashi's words,
He didn't lift his feet casually, but still raised his hands and tried to feel around.
"Don't worry, although you can't see it, you can feel the breath. We are by your side now."
Musashi's serious voice came from beside him, "Considering Amakusa Shiro's identity, this inherent barrier is probably the scene of the Shimabara Rebellion he experienced... And the amount of evil energy, it turns out that, those heroic swordsmen The resentment and souls gained from killing civilians should be stored in this inherent barrier, and then exploded out in one breath."
I had never understood the reason why those heroic swordsmen used inherent enchantments but did not use the enchantment effects at all. Now I finally understand.
It's not that the special effect of the inherent barrier has not been used, but that it has been used, but it is not used for fighting effects at all, but for storing souls and resentments. The resentments, evil spirits, and souls accumulated by killing hundreds of thousands of people It is stored in it, and even the souls of heroic swordsmen who died in the inherent barrier may have been absorbed by this inherent barrier.
Therefore, before such a large wave of evil energy broke out and swept through the entire rustic city, it was because Amakusa Shiro leaked the evil energy stored in the inherent barrier in one breath.
"Of course! My voice has been conveyed, Shinmun Musashi, Senko Muramasa! My inherent barrier - Shimabara Hell Scroll has no exit. You can only wander in it forever, and then be possessed by evil spirits. Resentment consumes the spirit and soul, corrodes the body, and eventually either turns into something weird or disappears completely, there is no third possibility!"
Evil energy and resentment will affect the soul and spirit, and then corrode the body. If you cannot withstand it, it will turn into something weird on the spot. Even if you can resist it, under the constant erosion of evil energy and resentment, the soul and spirit will gradually It wears away completely, causing the body to fall into decay.
The same goes for the residents of the rustic city in the outside world. More than half of the residents could not bear it and turned directly into monsters. Although the rest could withstand it, they died at the hands of their companions who turned into monsters.
With the will of the three Musashis, it is impossible to withstand the erosion and turn into weirdness. However, if they cannot leave this inherent barrier, the final result will most likely be that the soul is wasted, the body is melted, and the body is dead.
"Old man! Don't you say I can leave it to you? If you have any trump card, use it quickly!"
Musashi's anxious voice reached Fujimaru Ritsuka's ears. Because she couldn't see his figure, she couldn't tell where Musashi was.
"That's so long-winded, Musashi! Please calm down so I can concentrate!"
Chiko Muramasa's always calm voice then reached the ears of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Musashi.
"when!"
Along with it, there was also the rhythmic sound of blacksmithing, which made Fujimaru Ritsuka and Musashi both stunned.
At this critical juncture, why are we still forging iron?
"Of course I have a trump card or something! That guy called Shiro, you said there is no exit to this inherent barrier, right? Humph, there is no need for any exit at all!"
"when!"
"I have been patient until now. From now on, I will leave it to you!"
"when!"
The rhythmic sound of gold and iron filled the inherent barrier with enthusiasm, while Qianzi Muramasa's words were as cold as ever.
"——The ultimate sword I pursued in the past was not a steel blade that could crush flesh, break bones, and kill people.
What I am pursuing is the settlement of resentment.
Cut off the karma, cut off the destiny, cut off the past karma.
That is, liberation from old karma——"
The chanting showed no intention of stopping.
The sound of forging is also endless.
Musashi and Fujimaru Ritsuka trembled at the same time, as if some kind of divine power was about to come here.
“——It took countless research to get here.
Thousands of swords were used as models to build numerous sword tombs.
Arriving here is all about concentration.
Shown here is the long-cherished wish of all things.
Gathering here is all non-karma.
Everything in my life is for reaching this sword.
The pulse of the sword is here——!
Take the move, this is mine, Tsumugi, Muramasa——! ! ! "
