On a back hill some distance away from the town where they were, a young man with blond hair and blue eyes was walking through the woods. As a foreigner, he wandered slowly as if he was adapting to the rhythm of life here. From time to time, he looked around.

With curious eyes and a smile. But at the end of his sight, there is nothing worth paying too much attention to. Either it is just a branch broken into two sections and fell to the ground, or it is just a fallen leaf that has withered on the ground.

, as if even the smallest things can attract his great interest.

"It seems that he is an old man who has lived for a long time. Interesting..."

The young man was wearing a flowing black windbreaker. Although it was a bit inappropriate to walk among the woods like this, he didn't care at all. He just walked around aimlessly with his hands empty, occasionally breaking a branch and picking the leaves on the ground, like

It's like he's looking for some treasure.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have come out."

The young man suddenly dropped the branch while he was picking it up, and said so, but his voice did not sound tired. He took two leisurely steps to the side and leaned against an old tree with his hands intertwined, as if he planned to take a nap.

His eyes slowly closed, and he just stood there with his eyes closed to relax.

When the young man opened his eyes, the surrounding light dimmed, and the rising sun disappeared, as if night had fallen. But the young man didn't just close his eyes and stand for more than ten hours. He didn't want to do that.

Tired, lying down was okay. There was a rustling sound in the quiet woods not far away, as if something was coming here. The young man didn't pay attention to the source of the sound, but slowly raised his head.

Suddenly, an endless set of steps appeared. The steps continued upward, like a road leading to heaven. And this road was surrounded by torii houses one after another. Once you stepped on it, you had to go back the same way.

Or just take one step to the end and climb to the end of the ladder connection.

"This seems quite troublesome (tiring)."

The young man only took two steps, looking at the endless passage, and said leisurely. But as he spoke, he still walked up the steps. His feet stepped on the stone slab one after another, and it felt real.

But there is an indescribable strangeness. The road covered by the torii should obviously be darker than the outside world, but it is filled with a soft yellow light. The road is winding and winding, making it impossible to guess where the next turn will be.

Could it be a different scenery? The level keeps rising, and it seems impossible to turn around and leave.

There is a saying among the people that you can never look back when walking on this kind of road. Once you look back, you will be dragged into the abyss where the sun will never shine. But the young man obviously didn't think so. He strode freely toward the top.

I walked around and occasionally looked around to observe the torii gate, which was very relaxing.

Time passed very strangely here. The young man felt that he had been gone for more than half an hour, but looking back carefully, it seemed that it had only been two or three minutes.

"Just play some tricks, I'll give you five seconds. If you don't stop playing tricks, then you will be buried with these pretentious torii gates."

The young man suddenly shouted loudly, not knowing who he was talking to. After shouting, the entire forest fell into a dead silence. Even the always active young man stood still, as if counting down.

"When did a mere ant dare to talk to God like this?"

An old and distant voice came from a distance. This sense of oppression might indeed scare ordinary people into turning around and running away. But the young man was not afraid of this at all, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

He kept his standing posture with his hands in place, and his golden hair made his temperament even better.

"God? It's just a mountain demon that lives a little longer. If a monster of this level can be considered a god, let alone Semule, then wouldn't the United States of Artemius be full of gods? It turns out that all gods are ruined.

Don't make me laugh."

The blond young man said disdainfully, not taking the other person seriously at all.

"How dare a brat with no hair even grow up make trouble here? Not long ago, a group of people came here to die. They are all about the same age as you. They didn't even dare to fart in front of me, you brat.

I’m just tired of living!!”

The mountain god roared angrily, and a battle was bound to follow.

"A group of people... It seems that you have committed a lot of sins, so that would be interesting."

While the mountain god roared, the battle had quietly begun. Suddenly, multiple withered giant hands stretched out from the gaps between the surrounding birdhouses, completely surrounding the young man, surrounding him like a giant python strangling its prey.

"Turn into powder!"

At the sound of the mountain god, the giant hands came together in an instant, trying to squeeze the young man into powder. If such giants collided together, they would definitely make a loud rumble that shook the mountain. No matter what they were, they would be squeezed.

Crushed into pieces, the giant hands suddenly collided together, as if the young man's death could be predicted in the next second.

"idiot."

The young man whispered, he just put his hands in, neither resisting nor being afraid, and still had the same disdainful expression. However, he did have his own reasons for being conceited. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a flash of silver light.

Suddenly, blood sprayed out, and the giant hand was cut off in an instant. The young man kept his hands in it from beginning to end, and no weapons were seen with him. The large amount of blood was naturally

She showered the blond man who was very close, and this time, he was completely turned into a bloody man.

The decibel of the mountain god's painful sound far exceeded the previous sound when it angrily insulted the young man, which made the latter cover his ears. However, the mountain god's voice appeared directly in the young man's mind, and there was no need to cover his ears.

It can be used, but naturally it will not spread to the outside world. Otherwise, just this roar is enough to panic people within a hundred miles.

"It's really noisy, and the blood really stinks."

The young man shook his hands and smelled the smell on his body. The thick smell of blood was a bit pungent. He personally didn't like the smell very much. The noisy sound made him decide to deal with the monster quickly, but the mountain god was among the monsters.

The one that is more difficult to kill. The entire mountain is his body, but to kill him you must find the core that exists in the mountain. Judging from the current situation, the end of the ladder

The head should be the core.

"You, how dare you...I can't spare you!!!"

At the same time as the mountain god roared, the entire mountain suddenly began to tremble. The intensity of the shaking was probably equivalent to a magnitude 4 earthquake. The young man held on to the pillars of the torii gate nearby and let the mountain god roar in anger. The ground shook. The earthquake was not caused by the mountain god.

The attack method is similar to the process of casting a spell. The Mountain God is in a mid-level position among high-level monsters, and the reason why it ranks so high is that it can take over a mountain as its body to protect itself. This is equivalent to directly possessing

It has a huge range of barrier magic, which can interfere with all people in the barrier (mountain), even if the effect is not significant. In addition, it also has an ability that can be called a trump card. The mountain god can cause earthquakes through

It is here to make the low-intelligent monsters gathered on the mountain gather where its heart is, and even occasionally there will be many high-level monsters. This trick is both a defensive method and an offensive method.

The young man adjusted his red-stained collar and looked around with a smile, as if waiting for the monster to come.

"These things are a bit too eye-catching."

He looked at the torii that surrounded him and said this. Since the torii is also a barrier created by the mountain god to prevent others from going to the core, it can naturally be broken (at least that's what Yoyo thinks). And the person in front of him

Young people have short hands and are a little rough. However, although violence is not a panacea, at certain times, violence is much more convenient and useful.

"The Purification of Yama Demons"

In fact, the young man has been using his mind to control the demon sword that stays beside him. However, the nature of his sword is very special. It can block the signal of the body through the demon power, which is commonly known as invisibility or invisibility. This time, the young man chose to release the demon sword.

Awesome.

With his thoughts restrained, a dark black flame suddenly appeared in the air. It seemed to have lit a fuse and drew an arc along something invisible in the air. The fireworks disappeared, and a flickering flame appeared out of thin air.

A tachi with a dark red light. The familiar red-orange handle and blade, with an "X" shaped pattern. The sharp blade has a ghost-like head printed on one side, and the sentence-like inscription is still engraved on the other side.

: The underworld screams, and the devil is purged.

The blond man covered in blood grasped the demon sword - the Yama Sword "Hell", and the hot touch was immediately transmitted from the handle to the young man's hand. Immediately, the blond man slashed out seemingly casually.

"Click"

The sound of something shattering sounded. It might be the sound of the mountain god's core breaking. The next moment, the tremors of the earth suddenly stopped. The torii gates that originally trapped the young man in front of him were gradually moved from near to far, one after another.

It broke and became two halves. Including the stone steps and even the soft yellow light in this space were cut in half at this moment. Everything that was cut off was burned by the inexplicable karma fire one after another, as if in

Account for the evil it has done in the past. Everything has "karma", cause and effect are reincarnated, and the evil done will be turned into "karma". Only by paying back the evil done by oneself can the corresponding "karma" be eliminated. The Yama Demon Sword's [Demon Sword Ji]

] is to convert all the "karma" of others. The more malignant it is, the harder it will be, and everything will be turned into karma fire. This time, the mountain god didn't even scream anymore. Maybe he did, but

The young man couldn't hear the shouts. Because the Torii gate, as the core, was directly cut off with a single knife, and the mountain god, as the consciousness residing in the mountain, would naturally no longer have power without the core. Even if the consciousness was not directly cut by the knife,

, but the karmic fire of [Yama Suppression] will also make him gradually die in torture. The mountain god who has accumulated countless "evil karma" by doing evil may have many stories and strange stories circulating in this small town. But now, this mountain peak

It is finally time to return to peace, and the legend of the mountain god has come to an end. Although the young man never saw the end of the steps from beginning to end, maybe there is nothing at all, there is no end. But maybe, there is something hidden. But the answer is

What? The young man has no intention of thinking about it. He is only responsible for killing the mountain god and burning off all his karma. What does it have to do with him?

"Finally I can have enough fun."

The young man listened with a smile on his face as the commotion around him gradually increased. It was probably that a large number of monsters were coming towards him. But just as he happily released the Yama Sword and entered the state of mind control, there was always something in his pocket.

The cell phone he was holding suddenly rang with a familiar ringtone. Normally, he would have refused to answer the phone, but it was that person who called. The young man glanced at the caller with a sense of boredom, and then there was a look of reluctance in his eyes.

After looking around for a while, he finally answered the phone. Before he could slowly put it to his ear, he could vaguely hear the voice on the other side of the phone. It was a clear and lively female voice:
Chapter completed!
