823 Youve all done really well (2/2)

If there was nothing that he could do, at least he could try and remember this place the best he could.

Not long after, Seiji saw a cherry blossom tree.

Cherry blossoms weren't supposed to bloom in the middle of winter. Yet, this tree was filled with blooming cherry blossoms. Seiji also saw many other fully blooming cherry blossom trees, all in a neat row.

Seiji instantly felt like he had discovered an important location.

He followed the row of cherry blossom trees, and soon saw a bright red torii which was completely enveloped in dense white mist, giving it a holy yet ominous appearance.

His goal was highly likely to be inside here… Seiji had such a feeling as he made his preparations. Right as he was about to enter the torii, he suddenly heard footsteps from behind him.

Seiji turned around to hear a large number of footsteps approaching as if a large group of people were all running.

Not long after, many samurai appeared on the street.

”Over there!”

”Kill him!!!”

The moment that the samurais saw him, it was as if they just found the most heinous criminal possible. All of them had expressions of hatred and rage as they simultaneously unsheathed their swords and surrounded Seiji!

'My invisibility spell is no longer working!?' Seiji furrowed his eyebrows.

Seeing so many samurais attack him, Seiji instantly decided to unsheathe his sword and fight back!

No matter what the reason for this was, it was a fact that he was now surrounded and under attack. Rather than having these samurais constantly chase after him, he preferred to deal with them right now so that they wouldn't become even more troublesome to deal with in addition to whatever waited for him inside that torii.

While Seiji indeed felt pity for the ”people” living here, he wouldn't be so softhearted as to not fight back when attacked for no apparent reason.

”Die!! Evil demon!!!”

The samurais shouted loudly as they attacked their target with all their might.

Swords clashed as light reflected off all the numerous swords. A figure kept dancing in and out as blood splashed everywhere…

In just a single move, several samurais had been slain.

The samurais were astonished by the ”evil demon's” display of power. However, not a single samurai retreated as they continued fighting with their full might as their anger and hatred burned hot!

Seiji kept retreating as he fought and continuously slew the samurai.

If he was in perfect condition, it would have been quite easy for him to deal with these low-level samurai. However, he felt great discomfort from all the fighting due to the backlash he was receiving from the collapsing environment. Soon, he began to uncontrollably cough.

And then, a sword managed to strike a blow against him.

Seiji had a personal barrier that managed to block this blow.

But, after the first sword that managed to strike a blow came a second, third, and fourth blow…

Seiji was already in great discomfort to begin with. He was angered by being constantly attacked, and roared as he viciously slashed in a whirlwind all around him, which sliced three samurais in half!

Blood spurted everywhere as the snowy ground was stained red…

This shocking scene of three samurais dying astonished the other samurais as they all stepped back slightly.

”Don't be afraid! The evil demon is becoming weaker!! He's just struggling in his last throes now!!! Continue killing him!!!” a samurai suddenly roared loudly.

This restored all the samurais' morale as they launched another barrage of fierce attacks!

Seiji continuously killed, killed, killed, and killed… He had long since lost track of how many samurais he killed here. At any rate, he killed all the samurai that attacked him.

Indeed, perhaps he really was an ”evil demon” in these ”people's” eyes as he was the one who brought destruction upon them.

And right now, as he was fully covered in blood from having slain so many samurai, he indeed resembled an evil demon.

This was a deathmatch between a ”demon” and ”people”.

No pity was necessary. No kindness could be afforded in such a battle.

”Cough, cough… cough, cough, cough, cough… Come at me!” Seiji roared at the samurais to vent his emotions.

Even he didn't know just what he wanted to vent.

This wasn't good.

However… perhaps this was also fine.

Samurais kept dying left and right. Their corpses just about filled this entire street which was lined with cherry blossom trees. All the snow and ground in the area had been stained red with blood.

The last remaining samurai used all his force and succeeded in breaking Seiji's protective barrier!

However, this final samurai was unable to injure the demon. Seiji blocked this sword with his armlet, and then stabbed the samurai right through the neck.

The young samurai had an angry expression as he slowly collapsed while glaring at the demon.

”…You've all done really well…”

Seiji had no sadness, joy, anger, or pity in his voice as he calmly praised all the dead samurais around him.
