Chapter 82: Blade of Muramasa
Chapter 82: Blade of Muramasa
Muramasa? The "cursed sword" that was once a symbol of the anti-Tokugawa movement? That is something that can be handled by someone who has extreme bloodlust control and even I have only a small chance to control that sword! Is that really the legit cursed sword made by Sengo Muramasa? Or is it just a replica?
Still, it doesn't change the fact that her aura seems to change a lot after she called forth the Muramasa blade. Like she was being possessed by something or someone else altogether. The feel I got from her earlier and now had changed drastically.
Maple still looks calm but the demonic aura emitting in her body is evident that she is currently using it as her own power. She is not just showing off, she is giving her all and apparently, she is doing this to fight for her life. I continue my magic channeling and as soon as the whole place is shivering cold now, I quickly activated my Weakness Perception. Although the data of Blue is accurate, I didn't know which other part is his weakness while I am trying to make sure his balls are unguarded.
Finally, the guy noticed me and made a very disgusting angry face.
"You messing with my plans! Begone!" he was about to release a fireball when he realized that one of his arms is missing.
"Twelve Slice of the Oni! Severing Blade!"
I only realized that the arm of the guy was not missing, but was minced to pieces that you might even though it was just a few piles of meat and bones if not for the finger protruding from the mound of minced meat.
"Aaaaah. Aaaaahhh!" the guy screamed as he did not even feel the pain of his arms severing from his shoulder. Even the blood did not pour out, it was like it was cut cleanly and the wound was quickly sewed back.
"Your opponent is me. Kazuma, you take care of the girls that are mind-controlled by this guy," Maple said in a different voice. However, I am not bothering it and instead move towards the mind-controlled girls. Since the spell of Yuto is still in effect, I decided to just strike their napes and render them unconscious. After that, I decided to observe the situation.
The guy is still holding on his own despite only having a single arm. Earlier, he was more on the offensive, however, the tables have turned and he was forced on the defensive as Maple mercilessly strike him with the Muramasa.
"Damn it! I didn't do anything wrong! Why are you trying to kill me?!" he shouted as he tried his best to cast defensive spells one after the other after Maple started destroying one after the other.
"Isn't that obvious? I just wanted to. I have seen someone worthy to be fed by my Muramasa. If possible, your soul is sufficient on that."
Maple sounded matured and a bit older? I don't really know but she seemed to have transformed completely after the dagger's transformation that made it become the Muramasa. In fact, her female demeanor seemed to be replaced by a serious and tomboyish attitude.
"Evil monster!"
"There is no evil thing in this world, only the society thinks it is evil but usually, it is better to do evil if it can save someone else. Like, killing you yeah?" Maple grinned and disappeared from where she was. The guy flustered and panicked on what will happen next but in my eyes, I only saw his remaining arm to get minced and fell to the ground as chunks of meat.
He screamed not in pain, but from fear. This is the first time for his entire life to happen. It was not something that occurred to him on a daily basis. As fear strikes in his system, he looks at the figure standing before him with the normal-looking katana that somehow, emits a heavy tinge of demonic aura.
"Just kill me"
"Kill? Ha, I am not an idiot. Killing you is somewhat a mercy given to you. Did you think I would really kill you? Not ina million chance. After finding out how dirty you are, it is better if you are instead fed to the beasts around here. Becoming their food is ideal for you as a good item for them."
The guy's face was filled with despair as he tried to do something but he realized that the two parts of his lower half are missing. His legs were nowhere to be seen and his body fell to the ground hard without any limbs of his supporting his fall.
"I don't cook food much but since the beast does not bother if the meal is cooked or not, then let's just leave you this way," Maple said and grab his collar like he was just a disposable item that is meant to be thrown to the trash.
"Let the heavens decide if you are going somewhere or not. Just remember to repent your sins instead and die peacefully."
After her monologue, she casually goes to the slit on the cave that is like the window to the outside was and throws the small body of the guy who is still screaming with both tears and snot mixed on his face. Not too long after he was thrown, his screams echoed inside the forest and I can hear not too far the beasts gathering and somewhat ripping something to pieces.
As soon as his screams stopped, Maple- no, the individual that possessed Maple looked at me and glance at me from head to toe. Then, she slowly grinned.
"Not bad. A person who will soon attract trouble in the future. My blade is tingling in excitement. Looks like the girl has found someone worthy of following. Anyways, if you bring trouble with you, don't forget to call me alright?"
And as soon as she said that, she collapsed and the Muramasa sword returned into a dagger form. Just as I was about to help her, Blue started talking that interrupted what I am doing.
"I never expected this woman to be capable of making the cursed familiar Muramasa to obey her and become her familiar"
