Crossover Anime: The Bull Demon's Road to Conquest

Page 86

That's fine, though, as it prevents the other party from being unable to make a decision. However, the girl in front of me, Shizuru Imawano, is not an ignorant girl who can be easily fooled.

Just as the two sides were about to continue their negotiations after a moment of silence, Kenshin and Inunaki, who had deliberately chosen this angle to sit, looked almost simultaneously toward the entrance to the ballroom.

Under the lamplight, two red-haired women, wearing red plaid trench coats, walked in, but...

"Well, I knew it. If those women are here, then the master must be here too."

With an excited expression, Xin looked at the big dog as if it had found its owner, and couldn't wait to run to its owner's side.

"If you don't want to be scolded by your master, you'd better behave and finish the mission first. The target has been on the run for too long. If it gets caught by other witches, we'll lose all face with the syringe."

Kaoru, who managed to remain calm, gave Xin a low reprimand, then met the gaze of the sword-wielding princess who was looking at her, and coldly reached out and clenched her fist towards her.

It seems to be saying, "You can't escape this time."

"Your enemy?"

Shizuru Imano asked curiously, and then saw Kenshin take a deep breath, nod heavily, kick the table in front of her away, and pick up the bag that was originally at her feet.

In the noisy and chaotic dance hall, most people were unaware of the danger at first, but Xun and Xin, who were eager to put on a good performance in front of their host, did not care at all whether they might hurt innocent people.

Or rather, in their eyes, there was no such thing as innocence or not; once they put on the black and white demon masks, they became ruthless killers.

The incredibly sharp fists and claws tore the drug addict, who was dazed and blocking the way, to shreds of flesh and blood, spraying onto the others around them.

The man and woman, their minds a jumbled mess, touched the blood and flesh splattered on their faces with dazed eyes, but in the flickering light, they were still not fully awake.

Only the waiters, who had neither been drinking nor on drugs and had to keep a close eye on taking orders, witnessed such a horrifying scene.

A terrified scream rang out, but Kaoru and Kaoru had already crossed the distance and rushed directly to the front of Kenshin and Inunaki. What greeted the two sisters were two submachine guns and a large-caliber pistol.

Da da da~~

The continuous gunfire, mixed with the ear-piercing rock DJ music, made most people on the dance floor think it was some new trick in the dance hall. Only a few people who were close by could see the sudden outbreak of a gunfight.

No... it's not just a gunfight.

The inhuman Kaoru and Kaoru, completely unafraid of gunfire, barged straight into the booth. The sound of the booth collapsing and shattering was enough to make one's teeth ache, and crackling lightning flashed. Sword Princess and Inunaki Shinichiro rushed out from the left and right respectively, but they didn't care about anything else.

"Damn..."

Having barely escaped being accidentally injured, Shizuru Imano was filled with rage and wanted to summon her spirit beast to kill the two insane bastards.

However, Kaoru and Kaoru, who had just destroyed the booth, chased after Kenshin and Inunaki respectively. This made Shizuru, who was in a somewhat disheveled state, hesitate for a moment. Instead of summoning her spirit beast in public, she used a communicator to call out to her subordinates who were stationed outside.

However, a fierce fight was also taking place outside the club.

The club's own security guards, gangsters from the nearby streets, police officers on patrol, members of the Cursed Path who came with Shizuru, mercenaries covering Kenshin and Inunaki, and syringe-wielding militants who came with the Kaoru sisters.

In short, the sudden gunfight escalated almost instantly, with many of the attackers still confused and bewildered.

Ironically, the weakest in terms of firepower are the local bullies. Whether it's the security guards at the club, the gangsters in the neighborhood, or the patrolling police, they all basically only have a small number of handguns.

However, the members of the Cursed Forbidden Path, along with the mercenaries providing cover and the armed men with syringes, were firing with a combination of long and short guns, grenades, and even rocket launchers.

They didn't seem to care about the Japanese government's reputation at all.

Meanwhile, Xia Shu and the others who came with Niu Kun but were deployed outside were watching the show. Although the Syringe Organization was considered an ally, they were direct witches under their master's command, and their status was far superior to that of those mere cannon fodder doing odd jobs.

Even if Togo Rika came in person, she couldn't directly command them; she still had to follow the master's orders. So Natsuki told Yuno, who was setting up a sniper position outside, not to fire yet.

The battle in the dance hall should have been a foregone conclusion, since Xun and Xin were already enhanced warriors who had survived a near-death experience after being injected with a secret drug, and they had also received a contractual enhancement from Niu Kun, making them far stronger than ordinary people.

But... the dog's sudden recovery from its injuries revealed a terrifying, eerie aura, which was...

"The Killing Stone was actually on him?!"

Shizuru Imano looked solemnly at Inunari, who was embedding the Sesshoseki into his wound. At this moment, Inunari was exuding an extremely evil and powerful aura.

The horrific wounds inflicted by Xin had healed, and his muscles seemed to move freely, veins bulging, and his eyes gleaming with black light. With each punch, the wind ripped through the air, and he was able to send Xin flying.

Meanwhile, Xun, who had already captured and subdued Jian Guang Ji, was startled upon seeing this. She quickly picked up Jian Guang Ji and turned back, suddenly throwing her away, or rather, throwing her towards Niu Kun.

"really...."

Shizuru was secretly alarmed; that man was indeed no ordinary person. Just as Shizuru hesitated, a pistol was suddenly pressed against her back.

"Don't move, little girl."

In the chaos, the vampire, unable to contain himself, picked up a pistol and pressed it against Shizuru Imano's back. He sensed that the girl in front of him was not simple, but he still couldn't resist his thirst for blood.

"Tch, disgusting vampire."

Shizuru Ikuno glanced at the other party coldly, and then a ferocious beast suddenly appeared and bit the unsuspecting vampire into its mouth.

Fresh, foul-smelling blood suddenly splattered out, and a severed hand holding a pistol fell to the ground. Shizuru Ikino glanced at it indifferently, and when he looked up again, his gaze met that of Niu Kun, who was looking over with curiosity.

Shizuru sensed curiosity and...greed in the other person's eyes.

Chapter 185 Suggestions (4k)

If given a choice, Shinichiro Inunaki would absolutely not want to use the Sesshōseki, much less integrate it into himself, as that would inevitably turn him into an evil spirit.

Ultimately, they inevitably transform into evil spirits, losing all rationality and thought. At that point, even if they retain the memories of the living, they will no longer act according to the principles of the living.

Unfortunately, he had no choice at this point. If he didn't use the Killing Stone, he would only be torn to pieces by the red-haired female villain in front of him. Her strength was terrifying, far beyond Inunaki's imagination. Even his special suit, which was strong enough to protect him from close-range gunfire, was torn apart by her claws.

It was as terrifying as the legendary ghosts and gods, but...

"...Don't underestimate me, you bastard!!"

After flying backwards and crashing into the crowd, creating a bloody mess, even the roaring DJ could no longer drown out the screams of panic.

After standing up from the crowd of people who had been accidentally injured or killed, Inuname's mangled wounds healed rapidly amidst the surge of demonic energy, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Hmph, this is more interesting."

The cold-blooded and bloodthirsty Kaoru smirked, a smile that seemed both mocking and sarcastic. In the next instant, she lunged at Inunari, her sharp claws aimed at Inunari's vitals.

Meanwhile, the somewhat simple-minded Kaoru, along with her older sister Kaoru, flashed behind Inuminato, blocking his attempts to dodge. Neither Kaoru nor Kaoru cared about the chaotic screams of the crowd; anyone who blocked their way would simply be torn to shreds.

The splattered blood and flying limbs caused the men and women, who were still immersed in the world of desire, to scramble and stumble towards the edge of the dance floor. Many of them fell and never got up again.

Compared to the incredibly bloody and brutal killing field on the dance floor, the outer booths were slightly better, but perhaps only slightly better.

Apart from some drunk or drug-induced individuals, there were others who were relatively sober. Even those who had recklessly put their guns away were terrified by the sudden and brutal massacre.

Some people even rushed out of the dance hall in a panic, without bothering to pull up their pants. Although there was some congestion, it was much smoother than on the dance floor, since there weren't as many people there.

Under the command of the blonde girl, the huge and ferocious spirit beast charged toward the man opposite her whose gaze made her uncomfortable. As someone from a mafia family, she believed in the principle of killing the innocent but not letting the guilty go free.

However, her guess was obviously correct. Niu Kun was indeed no ordinary person. However, Niu Kun, who was holding Jian Guangji, did not make a move himself. Instead, two seemingly delicate and beautiful girls stood in front of him.

His black hair instantly turned white, two cat ears peeked out from between his hair strands, and his originally gentle eyes became sharp, after merging with the second personality triggered by the strange cat.

Hanekawa Tsubasa's personality has clearly changed, especially after transforming into her cat demon form. Her eyes have lost some of their kindness and gentleness, and gained more arrogance and ferocity.

Although Hei Yi didn't change that much, she was still influenced by her surroundings and, after being corrupted by Niu Kun for so long, she inevitably picked up some of his coldness.

Right and wrong, morality, seem to have become less important.

"What?! A large-scale gunfight!!"

Nanri Kaori, who had just received an urgent order, was drinking and relaxing at a bar with her assistant Nakaoka Asami after get off work. She was already a little tipsy, but she had to work overtime.

"Japan is really doomed. Not only are so many ghosts and monsters appearing, but even criminals no longer take the official deterrence seriously. It wouldn't be surprising if the cabinet were burned down one day."

Working overtime always makes people feel irritable, especially when drinking. After finishing her bottle of wine in one go, Nanli Xiang, feeling extremely irritable, couldn't help but start complaining.

As expected, Nanri Kaori's loud complaints resonated with the other patrons in the tavern, who had already noticed the two beauties, one tall and one short, Nanri Kaori and Nakaoka Asami.

At the same time, they were dissatisfied with the current situation in Japan, so various echoes and outrageous opinions emerged one after another. They were almost always pessimistic about the future, and the more they talked, the more energetic they became. So much so that even after Nanri Kaori and Nakaoka Asami left the bar, they could still hear the complaints and arguments inside from outside the door.

"Hiccup~"

Nanri Kaori hiccuped, about to open the door and get into the car, when she heard Mami say nervously, "Um...senpai, we've both been drinking, this is drunk driving...isn't that...not really appropriate..."

"So what? We can't just walk there, there's a gunfight going on over there, public transport is out of the question, taxis are too expensive... cough cough, drivers probably wouldn't want to go that way either."

Nanri Kaori casually waved her hand, signaling Mami to get in the car quickly. Mami understood and didn't dare to say anything more. She quickly got into the passenger seat, and the roar of the engine began.

Boom~

A violent explosion rang out, and the panicked crowd spread more rumors. However, compared to the horrifying scene inside the dance hall, the heavy gunfight that unfolded around the dance hall was far more shocking.

Although it was still shocking, it was still within the comprehension of modern people. It might have been a terrorist attack, or perhaps it was. There were even rumors that it was because Japan was following in the footsteps of the United States that the bearded man from the Middle East took his anger out on Japan.

But shouldn't bearded guys usually go for explosive styles?

how....

It's been changed to a shooting battleground in the commercial street?

In a daze, it felt as if I had arrived in America.

At this time, the Japanese government's emergency hotline was overwhelmed with calls. Because it was a sudden incident, there was no prior evacuation or information control, so many people used their mobile phones, cameras, or video recorders to capture a lot of brutal firepower, as well as the injured and even the dead.

The members of the paranormal investigation team, who had just walked out of the so-called haunted house in disappointment, were still trying to figure out what was going on when they saw traffic control messages being broadcast on some roadside screens.

"Huh? Could it be another paranormal event?"

Tao Hui guessed as if by telepathy, then looked at the others with bright, expectant eyes, but...

"I think... events like this, which have evolved into situations requiring official control and isolation, are probably beyond our ability to intervene easily. After all, our mission is to uncover hidden paranormal events."

Wujiang shook her head. Out of lingering fear of the large-scale supernatural event shrouded in thick fog a couple of days ago, Wujiang did not approve of them going to join the fun again.

Unless ordered by the master.

However, it's clear that this organization, which was only officially registered and funded a few hours ago, shouldn't be among the top in the master's recruitment list.

"But...but..."

Momoko looked conflicted, but still continued with undiminished longing, "But...we have three espers: Kirie, Chizuru, and Miku!"

"Hey, hey, if it's like this..."

A phantom-like shadow drifted by, only to be instantly swallowed by the crimson light. Wu Jiang, having retracted his hand, said with a hint of helplessness, "...If these are just mindless floating spirits, I could easily eliminate a hundred more. But...do you think...a hundred of these floating spirits would trigger large-scale traffic control?"

"Obviously... that's impossible, so... how about we just go and take a look around the perimeter?"

Yu put his arm around Momo's shoulder and offered his suggestion.

"Last time we also said we'd go check out the outer areas..."

Kirie muttered something, but... well, although she said that, Kirie herself was actually a very curious girl with a slightly hidden chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

So, while they were hesitating, they had already taken a turn for the better. Then, Chizuru and Hinako were persuaded by Momoko, and Miku, who had no opinion of her own, joined them. So, the group changed their original direction of going home.

Da da da~~~

The machine gun, spitting out blazing flames, was held in Yuko's hand with such ease that it was as if she were only holding a pistol. The machine gun bullets swept across the ground and vehicles, and sparks ignited the gasoline that had leaked onto the ground.

Amidst the raging flames, even heavily armed militants had to flee and dodge stray bullets. In the chaotic battlefield, the Demon Mobile Team's unrestrained attacks had made it difficult to distinguish friend from foe.

Although Captain Natsuki is a professional, none of the team members are. There's a berserker who fires indiscriminately at all living things, and a cunning sniper who shoots at even the soldiers on the syringe side without regard for friend or foe.

A bewildered assault soldier wearing a helmet and clutching an automatic rifle, a helpless battlefield commander, and a support medic equally puzzled.

In short, it's a complete mess.

Amidst the roar, the luxurious interior of the club was violently demolished. No, it wasn't just the interior; the entire building structure was destroyed by the two or three parties involved in the chaotic battle. In short, this entertainment club was finished.

The collapsed ceiling stirred up billowing dust. The ferocious spirit beast tried its best to protect its master and rushed out, but the nimble and powerful wings, along with the black spirit that could control gravity and telekinesis, helped it.

This put Shizuru Imano on the defensive. Her spells were wafting, but she was unable to trap Tsubasa or stop the help from Heiji. In the club rooms that were constantly affected, customers who didn't have time to escape were implicated by any bad luck.

Although neither side in this battle intentionally killed anyone, accidental injuries and deaths were still unavoidable. The battle on the other side was even more brutal.

Kaoru angrily tossed aside the bloodied head, while the other terrified hostesses scrambled to squeeze behind the sofa. Kaoru jumped up; she had been careless and hadn't expected the dog's bark, torn in two, to be able to retaliate.

Suddenly bursting out of the large hole that had been smashed open, what came into view was a dog's bark that was becoming more and more twisted and grotesque. At this moment, as the dog's bark was constantly being torn apart and then restored, the human characteristics on its body became increasingly rare.

It was as if it had transformed into a demon that had crawled out of hell, with its whole body covered in scarlet, skinless muscles, a hideous and withered face, and long and short sharp horns sticking out from its head, shoulders, back, elbows, and knees.

The reinforced concrete beams and columns collapsed easily, and the impact of the collapsing stone slabs had no effect on him, but the remaining consciousness of the dog-like bark only felt more and more desolate.

He ultimately lost the right to be a human being.

'But before I completely transform into a demon, I must... I must first destroy you demons in human skin!!'

Inu's twisted vocal cords made it impossible for him to speak human language; he could only roar to express his anger. But clearly, neither Kaoru nor Kaoru cared what kind of anger Inu's roar contained.

They were both angry, but angry because they hadn't been able to complete their task properly and quickly in front of their master, and instead had been beaten into a sorry state by the dog's counterattack.

Niu Kun, holding the powerless Jian Guangji, watched the two demolition battles inside the clubhouse. Suddenly, he sensed something and realized that some more witches had arrived.
