Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 17: Full Metal!

Disgusting.

Not only Nurarihyon's personality but his ability was also disgusting.

There was no need to explain Nurarihyon's personality since it was obviously unpleasant. The one who had been provoking was, without a doubt, the Nura Clan, yet this guy acted as if everyone in the world owed him something.

Why?

Just because he was a Nurarihyon.

Every youkai has its own innate abilities.

In his case, as a Tanuki, he had a variety of abilities, from enhanced physical ability, animal senses, shape-shifting, transmutation, leaf manipulation, etc. There were still more abilities, but it would be too long to explain.

Meanwhile, Nurarihyon had only one ability, but this ability was extremely disgusting.

As a youkai famous for his thieving act, his innate ability was related to his legend.

Tamazuki wasn't sure how to name Nurarihyon's ability, but one thing, if he had to explain, Nurarihyon's ability made him vanish from this world.

Nurarihyon couldn't be detected and completely vanished.

This was why he couldn't notice Nurarihyon, and when he realized, a blade was already on his neck. It was also the case with Nura Rikuo, who suddenly appeared behind him and struck him down. While the reason why Rikuo was able to find him was mostly because of the plot's power, his innate ability also helped him.

In conclusion, the combination of Nurarihyon's ability and personality was extremely disgusting.

Tamazuki had decided to erase this family sooner or later.

"Grandpa!"

Rikuo was surprised to see his grandfather, yet the appearance of his grandfather made him oblivious to the danger he faced currently.

"Rikuo..."

Nurarihyon looked at his grandson in a complicated mood since he had to say he was quite disappointed in him. As the commander of all the youkai, he was extremely proud of his origin, and as his grandson, Rikuo should be able to do more, yet look where he is now.

Rikuo was beaten mercilessly by the descendants of a tanuki.

In the past, Nurarihyon had tried to invite Inugamigyoubu Danuki as a member of his Hyakki Yakkou, but how could Danuki accept it?

The level between the two wasn't that much different.

If there was a difference, Nurarihyon's grandson was the protagonist of this world, so his fate and luck were better than Danuki, whose son was a villain, which appeared at the beginning of the story.

Yet, it is different now.

How could Tamazuki accept being beaten by the Nurarihyon family?

"Don't you know what your family did? They have looked down on my family! Does Nura Clan really want to have a war with us, the Shikoku Youkai?"

As his roar was heard, no one could say anything.

Unlike before, all of them had been beaten by Tamazuki, and many had been killed by him mercilessly.

The power of the Shikoku Youkai wasn't something that they could look down on.

Still, inwardly, Tamazuki wondered when his people were coming since he had told them to come.

'Dammit, is this the power of plot?'

He had been trying to contact his people, but where were they now?

If his subordinates were here, then he would bombard all the members of the Nura Clan with RPG.

"I will talk about this matter with your father later, but now, take your hand away from my grandson."

As for whether Nurarihyon would talk with his father or not, it would be a different matter.

However, for one thing, he had to save his grandson first.

"Then, maybe, you should remove the blade on my neck first."

The two stared at each other, and no one wanted to back down.

"Take your hands off, my grandson."

Nurarihyon repeated his words with a gloomy aura, trying to crush Tamazuki with his presence.

Yet...

"I changed my mind. You have annoyed me. I won't let him go until you apologize and give me Nenekimaru."

Tamazuki showed his flat face.

Nurarihyon's innate ability was powerful, but it lacked power. However, Nenekimari, the treasured sword of the Nura Clan, changed everything. This sword might not be special, but it had the ability to kill youkai. It was also a sword, which gave confidence to Nurarihyon to rampage throughout the country.

Tamazuki might not have learned swordsmanship, but he could learn it, and it should be easy for him, especially with his new reward.

Yet...

"Boy..."

Nurarihyon's voice was extremely gloomy and cold. Those who heard it were shocked since it was their first time seeing him like this.

"I am not talking or negotiating with you... I am telling you to get your hand off my grandson if you don't want to be killed here!"

Nurarihyon was extremely protective of his family, especially when he had lost a lot of them. He had lost his son and wife, so he didn't want to lose his grandson either!

Tamazuki stared at Nurarihyon's bloodshot eye as if telling him that he would massacre everyone on the Shikoku Youkai as revenge.

Does Nurarihyon have this ability? Naturally, with his disgusting ability, it was possible for him to quietly assassinate everyone in the Shikoku Clan.

"I see..."

Tamazuki nodded. "I will let him go, but can you promise to remove the blade on my neck?"

"I promise," Nurarihyon answered without hesitation.

"Okay."

Hearing his answer, Nurarihyon was relaxed, yet suddenly...

"?!"

Nurarihyon's eyes widened as he was in extreme pain since his balls were hammered by Tamazuki's tail!

Tamazuki used his tail to smash Nurarihyon's balls without mercy, but this wasn't the end. His hands seemed soft and elastic, twisting like rubber before thrusting into Nurarihyon's chest!

"Ugh..."

Nurarihyon saw two of his lungs pierced by Tamazuki's hand spears!

"GRANPA!!!"

Rikuo screamed in horror when he saw his grandfather's situation.

"Rikuo..."

Nurarihyon didn't expect Tamazuki would strike him mercilessly. He thought Tamazuki would give up, yet Tamazuki was more ruthless than his father.

Yet, this was normal.

Tamazuki's anger was at his limit.

How could he stay calm when Nurariyon kept provoking him?

Do you dare to order me around? Who do you think you are?

Did Nurarihyon think that he was afraid of him? No.

As of now, if he wanted to, he could defeat his father and become the commander of the Shikoku Clan, but he wanted to have complete dominance in his match, so he needed two more years.

As for Nurarihyon, while he might be a little stronger than his father, the difference wasn't much. More importantly, after losing his heart, his health had been deteriorating, and instead of staying at his peak form, he had always maintained his old form, causing his power to be weaker.

Nurarihyon also had been looking down at him since he was nothing but a young youkai.

Unlike Rikuo, which was troublesome, Tamazuki didn't feel that Nurarihyon was special since Nurarihyon's strength wasn't much different from his father's.

Yet, the most important reason, Nurarihyon didn't have a protagonist halo!

Frankly, it wouldn't be weird if Nurarihyon was going to die, so he could let his grandson run away. It was a cliche plot where the mentor-like figure or family would sacrifice themselves for the protagonist, so the protagonist could stay alive and become stronger as their feelings were blazing sadness and fury with the loss of their loved one.

However, leaving that matter aside, Tamazuki wanted to kill Nurarihyon.

"LET GO OF MY GRANDPA, YOU LOWLIFE! FIGHT ME"

Nura Rikuo let out an angry roar, but Tamazuki only used his feet to stomp him again, causing him to pass out before he finished his lines.

Tamazuki was ready to end Nurarihyon, but suddenly Nurarihyon, who was pierced by him suddenly, completely vanished.

Nurarihyon's figure was like the moon, the surface of the pond.

Tamazuki could see it, but when he touched it, Nurarihyon vanished like a mirage.

As of now, no one could see Nurarihyon's figure, but his presence was enough to cause horror in everyone's hearts.

Yet, at that moment, when no one realized, Nurarihyon suddenly appeared out of thin air as he raised his blade high, ready to slay Tamazuki!

Tamazuki knew Nurarihyon wanted to kill him, especially when his blade was covered in "Osore."

Yet...

"Do you think that I am afraid of you? If you want a war, then let's do it! Let's see who can last until the end!"

Tamazuki roared.

"Full Metal!"
