RPAGF Chapter 206 Confident Nue
Chapter 206 Confident Nue
Nijo Castle, which had already been in ruins due to the fierce battle between the Nura Clan, the Kakeru-in, and Hagoromo-Gitsune, was already in a state of disrepair.
Under the fierce onslaught of Gilgamesh's powerful Noble Phantasm, the city was utterly reduced to ruins. Walls collapsed, rubble flew everywhere, and the entire city seemed to have survived an apocalyptic catastrophe.
Of course, the people in Nue Pond, including Hagoromo Gitsune, were completely unaware of what was happening above the city.
However, the destruction of Nijo Castle had a domino effect, impacting Nueike in a chain reaction.
Large chunks of rock rained down from above. If it weren't for the presence of other yokai guarding the area, Hagoromo Gitsune, who was standing in the middle of the pool, would have been the first to be hit by the rocks.
"I want to be born! Mother, let me out!"
At this moment, Nue, who had been patiently waiting for Hagoromo Gitsune to give birth to her, could no longer suppress the restlessness in her heart.
Because from the moment he spoke, he had keenly sensed that guy's presence...
That... the real Abe no Seimei.
Thinking of this, Nue couldn't help himself. As a trace of evil in Abe no Seimei, he had been hiding for a thousand years, waiting for this moment to arrive.
He would not allow anyone to interfere with his plans; he had to be born.
As for whether he was truly Abe no Seimei, Nue couldn't help but sneer.
As the evil thought of Abe no Seimei, what's wrong with him calling himself Abe no Seimei?
Even if he wasn't the real Abe no Seimei, he would do everything in his power to become one. Because in this world, one Abe no Seimei was enough.
After he was born, he prepared for himself a body that had been carefully selected over a thousand years, which was extremely strong in terms of both strength and physique.
Nue was confident that, relying on his physical strength, even if the real Abe no Seimei came, so what?
When the time comes, he will kill Abe no Seimei, leaving only the "Abe no Seimei" persona.
If Yu Bai could know what Nue was thinking at this moment, he would definitely tell this person without hesitation: "The idea is beautiful, but the reality is often harsh."
Putting aside the question of just how powerful you are to have such unrealistic confidence, let's talk about this hodgepodge of world settings: gods, demons, ghosts—how do you think you can get what you want under such circumstances?
Let's deal with the group from Hell first. Yu Bai clearly remembers Hozuki's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, when he left that morning.
Before Hozuki left, he heard that he was going to Hell to check on the whereabouts of Abe no Seimei's other souls. He felt that if Nue fell into Hozuki's hands, it would probably be doomed.
"This... sir? Thank you for protecting us just now."
The eccentric-looking but exceptionally handsome man, Nurarihyon, stepped out from the crowd and expressed his gratitude to Yu Bai.
As the next successor of the Nura Clan, Rikuo Nura, being a half-yokai, has drastically different states during the day and night. At this moment, he appears as Nurarihyon, the great yokai of the night.
At this moment, Rikuo Nura's expression was unusually complicated, his gaze fixed on the silver-haired boy who had suddenly appeared and his companion.
Although they had almost lost their lives to the blond man because of Kidomaru's reckless behavior, it is undeniable that it was the silver-haired boy who intervened in time, preventing them from dying in the treasure "Rain" like Kidomaru and his group of demons.
He still had to express his gratitude, but when Lu Liang and Lu Sheng spoke, they hesitated for a moment because they didn't know how to address Yu Bai.
He clearly remembered that the reason why Kidomaru was attacked so fiercely by the blond man was not only because the blond man tried to slash the silver-haired boy with a knife, but also because he angered the man by calling him a "brat".
Lu Liang and Lu Sheng had observed very clearly that when Kidomaru uttered that title, besides the blond man, another seemingly cold-looking man in black also showed displeasure.
Upon seeing the black mist containing terrifying power from behind, Nura Rikuo became even more certain of his thoughts.
So, after a brief pause, Nura Rikuo decisively chose the form of address that wouldn't go wrong—"My Lord".
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, his pupils trembled violently, and Nura Rikuo turned his gaze to Yu Bai again.
If... that person who is suspected to be the real Abe no Seimei wasn't lying...
Nura Rikuo's mind raced with memories from before. He remembered that when these people first appeared, did Abe no Seimei say something after the silver-haired boy next to him finished laughing?
His memory quickly pinpointed that scene: the silver-haired Onmyoji said helplessly to the boy beside him, "Stop laughing, Lord Toyotsuki."
Lord Fengyue God.
Fengyue God... Sir?
A bountiful month...a deity?!
Those five words began to echo endlessly in Nura Rikuo's mind, making him momentarily dazed.
In other words, after encountering what appears to be the true form of the great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei from a thousand years ago, they also seem to have encountered a deity? So, what about the other two?
Judging from the terrifying aura and attack methods emanating from those two individuals, Nura Rikuo absolutely refused to believe they were ordinary people. In fact, it was even uncertain whether they were human at all.
After all, these two people have a rather strong sense of inhumanity.
……
Nue: Once I'm out, with my perfect strength and physique, I can certainly become the one and only Abe no Seimei! Hahaha~
Yu Bai: You're kidding me! Hozuki is coming for you soon. If he catches you, you're in for a world of trouble. Good luck.
Rikuo Nura: Sometimes you suddenly realize that having a good memory isn't necessarily a good thing.
