Volume 7 - Mount Ooe: Chapter 74 – Pouring Out

The tall and majestic Mount Ooe was shrouded in darkened clouds and fog all year around. Although it was incomparable to Mount Fuji in size, its exuded aura was much more horrifying than the latter.

Simply because there was a Supreme Archdemon here.

Lily followed Kenki and walked along a path that was surrounded by steep cliffs on both sides, towards Mount Ooe. Under those cliffs were impenetrable fog, or perhaps, they led straight to Yomi.

“Huhuhu.” Kenki walked in front and couldn’t help but feel joyful as he thought, ‘Kagami Lily, such a big-breasted woman with no brains. Rumors have it that she’s intelligent, but in my eyes, none of these people know about her weakness. Once it involves people she treasures, her intelligence will go straight into the gutter! Such a stupid woman, she doesn’t even know what tragic fate awaits her! I’m leading her into Mount Ooe using the main entrance directly, but she didn’t even show any doubt. If we’re actually here to mount a rescue, shouldn’t she be worried about being discovered?’

Inside the demon’s den, Uesugi Rei’s wrists, which were bound by arcane iron chains, were already bleeding. She lowered her head and gritted her teeth, staring at the voice transmission orb. Watching as Lily inching towards Mount Ooe but couldn’t do a thing about it.

“Lily… Why are you so stupid? Why… You clearly know Shuten Doji is in Mount Ooe and you won’t even have the slightest chance to succeed. Why are you walking into your own grave…”

At this moment, Shuten regained his usual composure and was prideful and glad. He was enjoying the service of his maidservants while indulging in alcohol.

“I really don’t know what’s wrong with that brat Ibaraki, he hasn’t contacted me even until now. Don’t know if something happened to him. Hmph, maybe Lily escaped the encirclement using some methods and he’s afraid of getting scolded by me so he didn’t contact me, he’s probably looking for her right now. Forget it, since Lily’s already as good as captured, I won’t criticize him anyway. Hahahahahahah.” Shuten spoke pridefully.

He couldn’t help but glance at Uesugi Rei. “How are you feeling? Miss Uesugi, you two sisters are about to reunite very soon. How do you feel right now?”

“Monster! No matter what, you’ll never get what you wish for! We will never submit to you!”

“You won’t submit? That only makes it more interesting! If you came and instantly submitted like these maidservants, I’d be sick of you already! I have a near-infinite lifespan. You two shall bring me infinite joy! Besides, you might be stubborn, but your sister might not. I’d love to know what you would look like as you watch your sister lose her mind and dignity after I have my way with her. That will be very interesting!”

By now, Shuten Doji wasn’t worried at all about Uesugi Rei committing suicide. He knew that she wouldn’t do such a thing no matter what was done to her. Since when compared to herself, she cared more about her sister. No matter what, she would just strive to find a chance to rescue her sister as long as she still drew breath.

Meanwhile, Shuten would take advantage of this fact. Not to push them to their limits, but to slowly and surely destroy their hope and faith!

Until they were utterly broken by desperation!

Uesugi Rei had little strength to spare by now. Although she knew it was futile, she still shook her chains desperately. All she got in return was merciless whipping from those enslaved female warriors. However, Uesugi Rei acted like she felt zero pain. In her eyes, having her sister suffer the slightest bit of pain would be more painful to her than being flayed alive herself.

Her sister, Lily, wasn’t as strong as her. If her sister actually submitted to his will, she had no idea what she would do in this dark and desperate world!

Yet, she had no way to protect her sister at all!

Shuten realized that it was about time, then said, “Kagami Lily might not be as foolhardy as Miss Uesugi, but she’s still quite capable. Don’t worry, I won’t let her surprise you again! While I didn’t expect her to escape from Ibaraki Doji, this is Mount Ooe! It’s a place where she’ll never ever escape!”

‘This is bad.’ Uesugi Rei was instantly drenched in despair. ‘Shuten being careless and dispatching weak subordinates to apprehend Lily is her only chance. If she knows it’s a trap, she might still have time to escape. Since she had escaped from Ibaraki, I’m sure she still has some tricks up her sleeve. But Shuten clearly isn’t careless this time!’

Shuten seemed to have read her mind and grinned.He waved his hand and said, “All Fiendish Kings and Demon Enforcers who returned to Mount Ooe! Everyone, move out. Make sure you apprehend Kagami Lily within the first strike! Do not give her any chances at all…”

“What???” Uesugi Rei’s heart sank. When she was apprehended back then, there weren’t this many Archdemons. This time around, all the fighting power within Mount Ooe was dispatched all at once!

Lily… Even if she had any abilities to save herself, it would be useless here!

Uesugi Rei could only feel her mind becoming blank and her vision becoming hazy.

Following Kenki, Lily traveled along the mountainous roads and approached Mount Ooe. The closer she got, the more terrifying that gloomy aura became. She even felt her soul tremble uncontrollably as if her instincts were warning her.

Not to mention a warning, she clearly knew that it was incredibly dangerous but she wouldn’t care anyway!

Was Lily weak?

When her sister was in a life-threatening situation, Lily’s heart could only be filled with infinite courage!

In an empty plot of land that was about 100 meters in diameter, there were several protruding rock spikes that seemed like massive fangs. Kenki stopped here. They only had one-third of the way to travel before reaching Mount Ooe.

“What is it?” Lily asked.

“Lady Kagami, I feel like something’s amiss…”

“What’s wrong?”

“Look over there…”

Lily followed Kenki’s finger and walked in front.

Suddenly, the sound of a sword being unsheathed was heard behind her.

Schwing!

Kenki pulled out his poisoned weapon. Then, he pointed it at the back of her neck. 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝗺

Lily stood in place and glared at the blade pointing at her with grim eyes. “What is this?”

“Huhuhuhu. Kagami Lily, You best stay still. Just a little bit of venom from this blade is enough to kill you! Even if you have extraordinary strength.” Kenki’s voice suddenly became sinister.

“Lord Kenki? I don’t understand. We’re here to rescue Sister Uesugi together. Why would you point your weapon at my neck?”

“Huh? Why? Girl, you’re really dimwitted! You stupidly followed me to the foot of Mount Ooe, and you dare to ask me why?”

Kenki’s expression became twisted as he laughed while twitching, “Hahahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahah! Do you really think we’re here to rescue Uesugi Rei, that stupid and arrogant woman? How could there be such a stupid woman like you in the world? Your beauty and your intelligence are definitely polar opposites!”

“I’m sorry.” Lily turned around with an alluring gaze. Her lips, which were covered in lipstick, only made her sexier. “I don’t understand. Can you please tell me why I’m stupid? Can you explain it to me?”

“Huh???” Kenki’s face was twisted and ominous. “You… Are you toying with me? You’re about to die, can’t you understand that? I’m going to capture you and present you to Shuten Doji! I… I’m not a member of the Genji Clan at all. I serve Shuten Doji! Your Sister Uesugi fell into my trap, just like you. You both got caught with your pants down and got captured!”

“Oh, I see what you mean. I already know that.” Lily said gently.

“Huh???? You… Your brain is fried, woman. Aren’t you? You already know? Such lies! If you do, why would you still follow me and march into Shuten Doji’s Mount Ooe? Your own grave? Looks like you lost your mind from fright, no? I won’t bother listening to gibberish from an insane woman like you. If you don’t want to die, then follow me! Go meet His Majesty Shuten Doji!”

Lily’s long eyelashes were slightly lowered as she glanced at the poisoned blade. “Minamoto no Kenki, oh no, should I call you Corpse Demon now?”

“Huh?” Kenki’s eyes became grim. “I didn’t expect that you actually knew my true identity. It seems like that b?i?t?c?h? Hatano isn’t dead yet. However, since you already know, why did you still walk into the trap?”

“Demon, looks like you’re weak and also stupid. If I don’t pretend to be tricked by you, how can I locate Mount Ooe?” Lily chuckled.

“Huh? If that’s the case, you’re still stupid as I said. Even if you found Mount Ooe, aren’t you still walking into your own grave if you came just by yourself? Spare me the drivel, go! Or else, I might accidentally destroy your beautiful body!

“Do you think you can win against me with your shoddy skills and crappy weapons?”

“You think I’m as stupid as you? If I can subjugate you with the poisoned sword alone, why would I fool you and bring you all the way here? Hehehehe…” Kenki let out a sinister smile.

At this moment, the entire place that was surrounded by spiky stones trembled.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…

Gust after gust of incredible Eldritch Energy emanated from the surrounding fog.

The gray winds from Yomi’s abyss blew into the place from all directions.

One by one, horrifying Archdemons started climbing up from those insurmountable cliffs.

Touko Chakura, Aokiba Takamizu, Akahime, Soto-no-Oni, Pakuzan, and five menacing demons who were similarly on the Throned Sovereign stage showed up. They were the old and new members of Shuten’s Ten Demon Enforcers!

Not only that, multiple demonic clouds floated above some of those tall stone spikes.

Two late-stage Throned Monarch Fiendish Kings that were comparable to Ibaraki Doji appeared, standing on those spikes.

Witch Momiji wore white clothing and tied her hair into a bun. She emanated the aura of a pinnacle Throned Monarch.

Another demon wore tattered ancient clothing and had purple skin. Both his movement and appearance made him look like a tall and gaunt corpse warrior. He was Todo Koan, a late-stage Throned Monarch!

At this moment, the tremor under her feet only became worse. An incredibly robust, pure red, and 30-meter tall creature that seemed like a mythical monster described in ancient myths broke two of those sharp stone spikes with its massive claws as it climbed up. He was Shuten Doji’s mount, Red Demon—Mamukuro! Mamukuro also exuded the aura of a pinnacle Throned Monarch! Mamukuro didn’t attain the Demon God Physique through training. Instead, he was born with the Demon God Bloodline! Hence, he could only present himself with such a massive size indefinitely. Based on the aura alone, though, Witch Momiji still seemed a little stronger!

Three of the Four Fiendish Kings had arrived, and the Ten Demon Enforcers were all here! They completely surrounded Lily. Meanwhile, Kenki was also overjoyed and laughed menacingly.

“Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahah! I didn’t expect His Highness Shuten Doji to value you this much, Kagami Lily! Why is he swatting a fly with a cannon? Now, you really… Have zero chance to escape at all! Hahahahahahahahahah! Hahahahahahahahaha!”
