Chapter 497 – Episode 54. Daigo Succession War.
A few minutes ago. In the innermost part of the shrine, Kirie Kurayama waited for his father Kazuma Kurayama in front of the golden rope.
I don’t know what’s going on, but suddenly I hear a gunshot and a shout coming from the entrance of the shrine, so I get nervous, and then I feel someone approaching.
“You were waiting here.”
The person who appeared was Kazuma Kurayama in werewolf form. After all, something happened. Kirie Kurayamada knew that his father did not take on werewolf form unless it was a battle, so he realized that the gunfire that had been going on until now was unusual.
“What’s going on with those gunshots? Who attacked it?”
“What… It will be sorted out on its own.”
Kirie Kurayamada frowned at his reaction of not caring even though it was his own subordinate. As expected, his father was strange. Before, he could not say that he cared for his subordinates as if they were his own body, but he was someone who cared about their safety at the very least, but now he was talking about it as if it had nothing to do with him.
‘As expected, everything…’
Kirie Kurayama glared at the stone building with gold lines in front of him. Because the origin of this earthquake was unknown, his father also became strange and was using the organization’s manpower for unnecessary purposes.
“It’s a gold rope… “If it’s like this.”
Kazuma Kurayama, not knowing that his daughter was resentful, walked up to her gold string and held out her hand with her sharp nails sticking out.
Patsutsutsu!
Her sparks flew as the protection spell on her gold chain activated. Kazuma Kurayama grinned and shook her hand as if swatting away a fly, breaking her protective spell.
“Hap!”
Kazuma Kurayama, who swung his fingernail and cut off her gold string, approached the crumbling stone building as if it were no longer rough.
She kicked open the worn wooden door and found a stone box filled with amulets. The building was empty, with only a single stone box on the stone foundation, as if its main purpose was to store stone boxes.
“Stupid Daigo guys. They don’t know that the object they are sealing is the key to ruling the world…”
Kazuma Kurayama laughed at the Daigo clan and began tearing off her amulets one by one with her sharp nails. Her talisman, like the gold string, did not attack anyone who touched it. This is because it was an amulet to prevent the items inside the stone box from coming out, and did not have the role of preventing people from approaching like a gold string.
When all the amulets were opened, the stone box began to rattle and vibrate. It felt as if there was a living creature inside the stone box, and it was moving inside to get out.
Hehe… ! Don’t worry. “I’ll let you out.”
Kazuma Kurayama held the lid of the stone box while talking to the being inside the stone box as if he were having a conversation. Then, as if the words were being communicated, the vibration of the stone box stopped, which gave Kiri Kurayamada a strangely unpleasant feeling.
That’s it.
The sound of stone scraping against stone was heard, and the stone box began to open. Soon the stone box was completely opened, revealing the roots of the earthquake.
“This…”
Kirie Kura Yamada opened her mouth with a slightly disappointed expression. The thing inside the stone box looked like the root of some plant, as the name suggests, Earthquake Root.
Of course, it didn’t really feel like a typical plant root. The small, long roots split into four branches around one large, thick root, giving it a human appearance. The head was also exquisitely distorted, giving it an ugly, human-like appearance.
At first glance, it looks similar to a human newborn baby, but it has a lot of plant roots, so if you look a little closer, you will see that it can never be a human baby.
“Okay, okay, let’s come together as one…” !”
Kazuma Kurayamada’s eyes were already filled with madness. And she opened her mouth wide, as if she were about to eat this earthquake root in one bite. At that moment, Kirie Kurayamada saw. The root that was on Kazuma Kurayama’s palm went into her mouth on its own.
The root passed through Kazugama Kurayama’s esophagus before he could chew it. Upon seeing this, Kirie Kurayamada’s instincts peaked and warned her that this was a dangerous situation. So she took a step back without realizing it.
Kazuma Kurayama’s condition was strange. Her veins bulged, visible even through the werewolf’s thick fur, and her eyes began to turn ominously bloodshot and red. In addition, the already huge fuselage of more than 2 meters began to grow even larger. It was not at the level of inflating the body to become bigger. Kazuma Kurayama’s body was growing so much that she could see it.
“Kaaaaa!”
With Kazuma Kurayama’s roar, a shock wave was generated, and the stone building began to collapse. It had been on the verge of collapsing for a long time, but as the shock wave swept through the building, it could no longer hold on. Kirie Kurayamada escaped the collapsing building and came out.
Dust rose up along with a cooing sound. Due to the impact of the building collapsing, dust rose quite high, but Kazuma Kurayama broke through the dust to reveal a massive fuselage.
“Ah, father… !”
A monster over 4 meters tall, that was what Kazuma Kurayama looked like now. It looked like a huge werewolf with a bizarre vine plant wrapped around it.
Boom!
Kazuma Kurayama lifted his foot full of fine roots from the ground and walked one step forward. Then the ground began to shake and cause an earthquake.
‘Was it true that it was the root of the earthquake?’
I just thought it would have some effect, but it was Kirie Kurayamada who had no idea that he could literally cause an earthquake.
“Hungry… !”
Sigh!
At that moment, the vines that were wrapping around Kazuma Kurayama’s body shot out toward the surrounding trees and creatures. Of course, that creature included Kiri Kurayamada. Feeling threatened, Kirie Kurayamada quickly pulled out his Ōtachi (大太刀) out of the air and cut down her vines.
‘I’m sick of it… !’
It wasn’t an ordinary tree vine either. Even though I was cut off by Ilhap, I felt quite a bit of resistance. Kirie Kurayamada’s Otachi is a masterpiece with a blade length of over 2 meters. Because of its heavy weight and sharpness, it had to be able to cut vines like cutting tofu.
“W-what… !”
Kirie Kurayamada looked around. The trees around the vines started to dry out instantly. The lush leaves began to fall and dry like crumbles. If she hadn’t cut down her vines with a knife, she would have turned into a mummy and died.
“Oh, my father attacked me…” “” ?”
Kirie Kurayamada was quite shocked. It was her father, whom she had not seen often since leaving the family, but whom she had never touched. She was shocked that her father, who was a member of the infamous Jin gang but had a gentle attitude towards his daughter, attacked her to kill her.
“What, what?”
While Kirie Kurayamada was shocked and stopped, it seemed like someone came running to her due to the sudden earthquake. I looked to the side and saw a man wearing black armor standing there. This man was famous all over the world. Why is this man here?
“Black Knight?”
###
What is that monster? Seeing Kirie Kurayamada together seems to be a member of the Jinil Party, but is there such a person? ? A giant werewolf with tentacle-like vines wrapped all over its body…
“What, what?”
“Black Knight?”
Kirie Kurayamada is surprised to see me. Since the Black Knight is such a famous person, it’s natural to be surprised, but first you have to ask about that monster.
“What is that monster?”
“Father… “I ate something called the Earthquake Root that was sealed in a shrine here, and that’s what happened.”
The root of the earthquake… ? This is my first time hearing this name. By the way, was that werewolf the head of Jinildang? Moreover, Kirie Kurayamada’s father was the head of the Jinjidang, right? I thought he was just getting his feet wet, but he turned out to be a very high-ranking person.
“I’m hungry… !”
Boom!
Boom!
The monster screams that it is hungry and approaches us step by step. As the distance gets closer, its tentacles fly out. Kirie Kurayamada and I took a step back, cutting off the vine tentacles.
Kirie Kura Yamada didn’t seem to have awakened her werewolf traits, but she still wielded her extremely large stance lightly, perhaps due to her father’s influence. It was a strength that was difficult for an average woman to possess.
“What do you want me to do?”
I glanced at Kirie Kurayamada and asked. Since that monster was my father, I couldn’t kill him right in front of him without asking.
“You can’t turn it back, right?”
“Maybe…”
In response to Kiire Kurayamada’s question, which seemed sad, I nodded her head. It seemed impossible to separate it because it had already completely merged with the roots of the earthquake or something.
“Ever since I was possessed by the Earthquake Root, the father I knew was no longer there. Please kill that monster and set my father free.”
Kirie Kurayamada looked at me with her tearful eyes and asked me to slay her monster. I’ve even gotten Kirie Kurayamada’s permission, so it’s okay to kill her now.
Just as I was about to pounce on the monster vine tentacle werewolf, a group of surviving Jinildang came running towards me. And then Rena Sakagami, Akina Konoe, and Rina Nakanoin arrived. It seems that the Jinildang stopped fighting and rushed to the area because an earthquake occurred in the area where their leader was located. The Discipline Committee was cleaning up after the guards, and Nakanoin Rina, the chairman of the Discipline Committee, seemed to have come to find out what the situation was.
Rena Sakagami and Akina Konoe seemed to have come because they were worried about me.
-Erica was handed over to the disciplinary committee. Ishidera Kosuke and the Minamoto people were also tied up and handed over to the Discipline Committee, so they will be able to interrogate them on their own.
Rena Sakagami spoke through the communication line she had connected so that no one could hear her. Erika is also safe, so Kosuke Ishidera and the guy from Minamoto… Tyra Kanna will take care of the investigation.
“Everything, head of the family! What happened?”
Wow!
One of the Jinildang members approached the monster and asked, but the only response that came back was a loud roar and vine tentacles. Agent Jin Il-dang, who was pierced by the tentacle that was launched in an instant, was instantly drained of life and became a mummy with only bones and skin remaining.
“!”
I definitely don’t want to be caught by those tentacles…
