I'm really just human

"Ding!"

Day of sacrifice.

The villagers, who had changed into white ceremonial clothes, rang bells and walked towards the coast, white flags fluttering in the wind, and the dressed-up miko in the middle was lifted up in a special wooden sedan, ready to be taken to the makeshift altar.

"bell!"

"My daughter!"

The parents of the young girl who was chosen as the witch followed the procession step by step. The honest and humble peasant couple seemed a bit useless. The closer they got to the altar, the more frightened they became.

The villagers accompanying the sedan chair also felt sad. All of them had gray hair, and there were only a few young and middle-aged people.

The boy Tomorrow Dream and his childhood sweetheart stood on the cliff and watched from afar.

As the sacrificial procession progressed, the sky above the sea began to change color, white mist filled the air, and the roar of wind and waves intensified.

"Tomorrow's dream, is it really okay? That person..."

"There must be no problem," the young man said calmly, "I saw with my own eyes that he drove away the demonized demon that attacked the outer village, and that man's master was the legendary ghost."

"But will that person really come?"

"Y-should be able to, right?"

The boy hesitated and promised under the girl's gaze, but his fingers were so nervous that they were covered in sweat.

Although he had promised to come today, Xia Chuan was never seen.

"call!"

A palace mountain rises slowly from the sea, and a hovering dragon head can be vaguely seen amid the demonic aura.

"Offer the sacrifice!"

The wooden door at the bottom of the palace mountain opened, and two green ghost fires emerged.

"Bing!" The old farmer choked and stopped his daughter as she stepped out of the sedan chair, "Hurry, run away..."

"Let me go, father," the miko lowered her head in a trembling voice, "If I can protect everyone... there is no other way, right?"

"bell!"

The reflection of Xia Chuan's dragon knight appeared in the corner of the reef. The Wushuang dragon behind him swam out of the water with a deep roar. After receiving Xia Chuan's permission, he quickly jumped towards the palace mountain demon dragon.

This demonized sprite is much larger than the Wushuang Dragon, but it has no advantage in terms of aura.

As a monster, Wushuanglong has also reached the pinnacle of the mirror world. Even without him, he is by no means weaker than Orochi.

This should be enough, right?

The same monster would not involve the village. It would be best if the big snake could be driven away.

At least this sacrifice could be spoiled.

The rest depends on whether he can use local ghosts or gain the power of ghosts.

He will definitely not let go of this demonized monster boss.

"Roar--!"

The two will-o'-the-wisps were half way through the air when they were swallowed by the Wushuang Dragon that suddenly jumped out of the sea. The golden flames spread in the water and spread along the demonic mist.

"what is that?"

"A big snake?"

The horrified villagers abandoned their support and hid behind the earth and stone tomb, looking suspiciously at the Wushuang Dragon, which was smaller but equally monster-like.

"It's not a big snake! It swallowed the messenger!"

"Oh my god, how dare it?"

"hold head high!"

The big snake that coiled around the Palace Mountain calmed down for a while before becoming furious. Its eyes were red and it flicked its tail and flew up, spitting out fire bombs like meteorites. After being dodged by the Wushuang Dragon, it exploded into waves.

"Bang bang bang!"

Facing the big snake that was bigger than itself, the Wushuang Dragon showed no sign of weakness, and it also spouted flames while elevating its body.

It’s unclear whether Orochi is the strongest in this world, but it is indeed the strongest in the mirror world, and even the golden phoenix has become its prey.

"Roar!"

Flames gathered around the unparalleled dragon in mid-air, turning into red gold armor in an instant, integrating with unlimited survival power, and completely stabilizing its figure in the world outside the mirror.

Before the Orochi could recover from the shock, the Wushuang Dragon's entire dragon body crashed directly into it. The Demonic Mist Palace Mountain collapsed and exploded, and the Orochi's screams and roars followed immediately from the depths of the mist.

Size is indeed an advantage, but it also depends on the comparison target.

Compared with the Wushuang Dragon, the Orochi does not seem to have any extra power and only relies on its own body.

"boom--!"

The sea surface returned to calm with a loud explosion, and it seemed that they died together.

"That dragon... must be a dragon, right? What's going on? Is it also a demonized sprite?"

Tomorrow Dream took the girl and rushed to the villagers.

After waiting for a while but still not seeing the big snake appear, he quickly pulled the witch from the beach back.

"bell!"

"Sister Ling!"

"The mark is still there, what should I do now?"

"The big snakes are gone, everything should be fine..."

"How can you be sure it's okay?"

The villagers quickly divided into two groups. One group wanted to take the witch back, and the other insisted that the witch stay.

"If anything happens, everyone in the village will die!"

"We have not violated the contract, and it is not our problem now."

"Anyway..."

"call!"

Xia Chuan stood calmly in the sea mirror world. As the owner, he could see the big snake escaping along the seabed.

"come back."

Taking one last look at the quarreling villagers on the beach, he turned around and left the mirror world with Wushuang Long.

…

Frozen ghost temple.

The Master knelt down in front of the Buddha statue and chanted sutras. He suddenly opened his eyes and turned around to look at the girl in kimono jumping outside.

"Your Excellency can actually find it here!"

"Are you ghost?" The girl in kimono licked the saliva from the corner of her mouth, "I really can't bear it anymore, I must eat that apprentice of yours!"

"Don't even think about it!"

The mage jumped up with a cold snort, waved his hand, unfolded the tuning fork and tapped his palm, and responded crisply. During the shock, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and the flying snow surrounded the condensed frozen ghost suit.

"Send you off to the west!"

"boom--!"

When Xia Chuan returned to the temple, he happened to see the frozen ghost flying backwards, screaming and rolling down the steps to transform into a mage.

"Grandmaster?"

"Kaminaga?!"

The mage got up in embarrassment. When he saw Xia Chuan, he couldn't help but sigh and beat his chest.

"Why did you come back at this time? Didn't you say you were going to do something very important?"

"It's easier than expected, and..."

Xia Chuan's eyes turned to the white-headed monster who followed him out of the temple. He was wearing a cloak and armor and had the same aura as before in the city.

"This is the smell," the white-headed monster sniffed his nose intoxicated, and the figure of the girl in kimono vaguely appeared, "I can feel it. If I eat you, I will become the strongest demonized monster!"

"This guy... leave quickly, Kaminaga! Go to the main city, the daimyo here can help you!"

The mage gritted his teeth and took out the transformation tuning fork again. He was about to block Xia Chuan when he was pushed aside by a gentle force.

"This is... the art of telekinesis?! When did you..."

"We'll talk about it later."

Xia Chuan's belt appeared on his abdomen, and he reached out to grab the Tooth Bat II flying out of the void.

"Hmph," Yabat II, who had a rare opportunity to appear, flapped his wings and looked at the white-headed monster. "Despair, you chose the wrong target! I'll bite!"

"Gaburi!"

With the power of the Demon King injected into him, black lines appeared on Xia Chuan's cheeks, and at the same time, the dark kiva suit was instantly completed in the strong wind.

"What are you talking about?" The white-headed monster stood holding a spear, and for a moment he couldn't figure out Xia Chuan's details. "A new ghost?"

"Zizzi!"

Xia Chuan raised his arm forward, and a seal mark appeared on the ground beneath his feet to immobilize the white-headed monster.

To deal with this kind of character, using Dark Kiva seems to be a bit overkill, and the more powerful the power, the stronger the suppression felt here.

However, compared to other forms, Dark Kiva seems to have more sense, and it just so happens that you can also use the enhanced sealing barrier to do some experiments.

"wake up1!"

While raising his hand to pull the white-headed monster closer, Xia Chuan skillfully inserted an attack whistle into his belt and punched the white-headed monster back with a violent punch.

"boom--!"

"Uh-huh!"

The white-headed monster's entire body was in a state of collapse under the impact of the red and black energy. Even though its level was far higher than that of an ordinary demonized monster, it seemed that it could not withstand the killing blow of the dark kiva.

Fortunately, there are world rules that exist and they were not directly eliminated.

"Master," Xia Chuan turned to the stunned mage, "Can you give it the final blow?"

"I?"

The mage watched with trembling fingers as the sealing barrier restrained the white-headed monster screaming in pain.

Did this disciple make a mistake in his practice and become a demon?

But this is too strong and there is no reason at all.

Secretly wiping away a handful of cold sweat, the mage stepped forward to transform.

Although I don’t quite understand it, it seems I can only do it.

"freeze!"

The tuning fork was still being struck, and the clear sound seemed to cause unknown changes in the mage's body. In the blink of an eye, it merged with the elemental power and transformed into a frozen ghost.

"Damn it!" The white-headed monster endured continuous electric shocks from the seal barrier. Seeing the frozen ghost approaching, his roar turned into smoke and dissipated, "Wait for me! I will never let you go!"

"this……"

The frozen ghost hesitated and watched the white-headed monster disappear.

Normally, it would be a good thing for such a powerful demonized demon to be beaten away, but now...

"If these guys really want to escape, we have no choice. It's best to deal with them directly."

"I know."

Xia Chuan silently canceled the transformation.

He didn't take the threat of the white-headed monster seriously.

He is still some distance away from the existence of the Black God, but he is still an existence beyond the limits of human beings, and he can protect himself even without transforming.

"Kamiyaga?" the mage called tentatively, "What are your plans next?"

"Next?"

Xia Chuan collected his thoughts and said.

"Of course I will continue to practice and strive to transform into a ghost."

"You still need to practice?" The mage felt as if he had been slapped. "I almost want to become your teacher!"

Not to mention the unknown transformation form, the magic alone seems to be far above him, and the seemingly gentle telekinesis technique makes him unable to resist.

"After all, you are so powerful..."

"These are two different things," Xia Chuan interrupted, "It doesn't matter how powerful I am, the key is how I can transform into a ghost."

The mage was confused: "Isn't it important?"

Xia Chuan put away the flying Tooth Bat II and said: "Anyway, let's practice as before. Maybe we can find some tricks..."

"What's the trick?"

The mage's face turned red.

He had regarded Xia Chuan as his disciple before and had habitually said a lot of nonsense.

who knows……

"My experience is only penance. If you have any confusion, I can ask other companions."

Xia Chuan felt a little helpless in his heart.

The change in the mage's attitude made him uncomfortable.

But it seems impossible to go back to the way we got along with each other two days ago.

"Master, does he know where Xianggui is?" Xia Chuan continued to ask while thinking.

Since it was a copy of "Hibiki", he still wanted to get in touch with the protagonist.

Maybe he just isn't suitable for the frozen ghost inheritance.

"It's possible, it's possible," the mage said in a deep voice, "but it seems that Xianggui has retired from being a ghost because of something."

…

Future timeline.

Level 5 ghost knight Matsuo led Team 01 to the top of the mountain, looking down at the modern city under the night.

"No one understands this world better than me. There is no way to eliminate the demonized beast. From ancient times to modern times, the battle will never stop, and the demonized beast will be resurrected every once in a while."

Matsuo looked at the transformed tuning fork under the moonlight.

"There is only one way to pass the level, which is for me to merge with the big snake!"

"Are you still a knight then?" Team 01 captain asked with a frown.

"What does it matter if you're not a knight? It doesn't matter if you're a knight or a weirdo, as long as you're strong enough!"

Matsuo calmly pressed his heart that was torn apart by severe pain.

He is no longer a knight, he has become a demonized leopard since he entered this world.

But it was precisely because of this that he was able to obtain the secret of the demonized demon, and at the same time he also opened his own dungeon-exclusive camp.

"Perhaps you will be able to obtain enough resources to be promoted to level 5 knights by then, or do you, as the champions of the Skynet Tournament, have any concerns?"

"Of course not," Captain 01 grimaced, "This time we not only want to become level 5 knights, but also get on the knight list... But what are you going to do?"

"I need to sacrifice the ghosts in this city, use the power of the demonized demon to go back to ancient times, and merge with the big snake before it is sealed."

Matsuo's face looked slightly ferocious.

As long as he gets the power of the big snake, the level 6 knight will not be afraid. By then he will be at the top of the world.
