JOJO hiding in the hunter world

In mere seconds, with just a glance, Big Head was gone.

Big Head's power wasn't strong; among the great yokai, he was relatively weak. His attacks were primarily soul-based.

Big Head could devour the souls of all creatures within five meters, the resistance to the devouring lessening with the target's fear, making him exceptionally efficient at clearing out weaklings.

Against those without fear, he could offer brief restraint. Big Head's face was incredibly resilient, capable of withstanding a lot of punishment, so he shouldn't have been defeated so quickly.

But reality was as such: Big Head and his opponent vanished into thin air, just as Hundred-Eyes and Red Ogre had reported before.

"Where!" Hundred-Eyes and Peng Hou maximized their senses.

But Jon seemed to have already left. No aura could be detected nearby. Big Head and Jon were as if erased from existence by a god.

An eerie atmosphere spread among the great yokai, filling them with awe.

Awe and vigilance towards the unknown power, but none felt fear. Most yokai wouldn't experience fear even on the verge of death.

"Big Head! Are you still alive!" The human-headed bird, Imomushi, shouted loudly.

No one answered him; only the sound of the wind in the mountains and the explosions of the gigantic Red Ogre colliding with missiles in the distance responded.

The sharp-eyed Imomushi immediately noticed the remnants left on the ground: some broken ice, scorched earth from flames, and two throwing knives.

Imomushi carefully examined the throwing knives, finding nothing strange.

"Forget it, there's no time. Candlewisp and Snow Woman are still holding off the demon enemies for us. We don't know how long they can last. We can't waste time here.

Hundred-Eyes, go! Come with me if you want to save Red Ogre."

Peng Hou leaped, carrying Hundred-Eyes towards the village.

"Red, what exactly is going on with him? If it's you guys…" Hundred-Eyes didn't particularly trust Peng Hou and the others.

"Sorry, Red Ogre might have already made up his mind. We have no right to interfere with his choice. You aren't him, and you don't know his feelings?

He might have understood my words: if we don't completely eliminate the demon enemies, we yokai will be extinct sooner or later…

He might just want to protect everyone, which is why he sent you away…"

Hundred-Eyes was somewhat saddened. She firmly opposed Red Ogre consuming the power of Hannya. It was too dangerous; Red Ogre was very likely to explode and die on the spot.

The fact that he wasn't dead now was already fortunate, but it seemed he had lost his mind.

"Do you know why I arranged for you to be Red Ogre's partner, Hundred-Eyes?"

Peng Hou suddenly said this while rushing forward, leaving Hundred-Eyes somewhat confused.

"Isn't it to assist him, to prevent him from being captured by humans due to inexperience? And to provide me with a strong meat shield, complementing each other's strengths?"

"That's just one aspect. You know Red Ogre is the child of the Red Yokai Lord and a human. He's a half-demon with half noble and half lowly blood.

Half-demons are unwelcome among both humans and yokai. He hadn't accepted the power of Amanojaku back then. He would have died long ago if we hadn't taken him in. You're among the few of us who don't despise his blood."

Hundred-Eyes was silent for a moment. "Stop pretending. Do you think I'm stupid? I know it must be you guys. If it weren't for you, Red wouldn't have become like this…"

"Do you know why I brought you here? I guarantee I didn't force Red Ogre to consume Hannya; it was all voluntary… We're here!"

Looking at Peng Hou's sincere eyes, Hundred-Eyes felt somewhat guilty. Could it be that she had guessed wrong? Was it her who didn't understand Red's inner thoughts?

"What is this place? Shouldn't we be helping Snow Woman and Candlewisp right now?" Hundred-Eyes suppressed her doubts, looking at the quiet little forest.

There was a dilapidated thatched hut above, long neglected, with large chunks of the walls collapsed.

This house should have been abandoned long before the yokai entered the village. Hundred-Eyes didn't understand why Peng Hou brought her here.

"I will confess everything. Although I used some tricks, I never forced Red Ogre. I also consider Red Ogre as one of us. He's more yokai than human.

I said, I have no selfish motives. We will honor you as king. From now on, you will stand in the sky and lead all spirits and monsters.

This is your contract to become king and the final ticket."

Peng Hou pulled open a wooden plank on the ground, revealing a dark tunnel before them.

There was a wooden ladder leading down into the darkness, but Peng Hou was a yokai and wouldn't walk down the ladder like a human.

With a flick of his tail, a rocket shot out, turning into a landed bonfire three meters in front of Peng Hou.

Peng Hou's power came from his five tails, each controlling wind, lightning, water, fire, and earth.

Hundred-Eyes' body was close to that of a normal human. She didn't dare jump down directly, walking down the ladder step by step.

We have been bringing living people here to slaughter them since a long time ago, and then we take out their eyes and put them on the Flesh Man for nourishment while their souls haven't dissipated and are still alive.

These eyes have all been sacrificed. We entrust him to leave the eyes behind when devouring people, so we can easily obtain complete eyes.

Come on, let us help you break through the final barrier."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Hundred-Eyes felt a trace of fear.

"I confess, it was I who created the illusion of your death for Red Ogre, to force him to consume the power of Hannya after being pushed to the brink of death.

My theory was successful. The demon enemies were beaten to a pulp by the gigantic Red Ogre, doubting their lives. But he also lost consciousness.

Now, the only one who can stop his rampage is you, which is why I arranged for you two to be partners.

Red Ogre has become a Demon King. My power can no longer suppress him unless you also become a Demon King. Only a Demon King can deal with a Demon King. Your feelings for him might be able to awaken him. That way, we'll have two Demon Kings on our side, and if not, we'll have a meat shield in front to take the blows.

That's all my thoughts, very dirty, despicable, and scheming against comrades. I am willing to accept all punishment, including replacement."

Peng Hou revealed all his schemes to Hundred-Eyes. This was a conspiracy.

"I really want to kill you!" Hundred-Eyes clenched her fist and punched Peng Hou's dog face. Peng Hou didn't dare to dodge.

Peng Hou must have known about this for a long time, but he didn't tell her, definitely to make Red Ogre her shield.

She slapped Peng Hou again. "I sentence you to never plot against comrades, to always be the brains for me and Red until death."

Hundred-Eyes walked past the kneeling Peng Hou and knelt in front of the Flesh Man. It seemed to sense her, and the eyes fell from the Flesh Man's body one by one.

Beside the bonfire, under the witness of countless empty skulls, she gently picked up the eyes and stuffed them into her body.

The shadow on the wall was infinitely stretched, like a giant villain in hell eating under the gaze of demons.

At the same time, Imomushi hid the throwing knives as trophies in his feathers, flying in the direction he came from, preparing to help Candlewisp and Snow Woman hold off the demon enemies together.
