As we continue our search, Foxxo reacts to the sky. What's the first one?

Three Crows Lv 18
Summoned Monster Target Active

Three birds? For all intents and purposes, it was just one crow... but then it morphed into three in front of me! I wave the wand I was holding on the spur of the moment and knock my alter ego down.

Then my body gets heavy. Muzzled...this is a curse. It's a curse and a disease condition.

"...Nii, are you okay?

'Tact!　Okay!

'It's okay... it's a learning experience... if you knock over a body for a minute, the possession is still effective...'

Now, this is a flying enemy. I don't want to be haunted any longer.

"Aranea, make a sticky string trap for me. I'll kill the raven, gentlemen. What about the raven?　You'll be just like me.

...hmm. We'll take shelter in Ni's shadow.

I think Noah's cunning.

I agree.

He's a raven, so he debuffs me, but in a sick state, normal debuffs don't seem to work. As a result, I became everyone's wall.

The moment I thought it was over, the three ravens were on the sticky thread, and I put a stop to it with my sword.

I heard the faint sound of grass shaking and I quickly jumped out of the way and rolled on the ground as quickly as I could.

I looked up and saw a black metal rod where I was. If I had been there, I would have been pierced by that thing.

The owner of it takes refuge in the sky, probably because the surprise attack failed. Identify the guy.

A Karasuma Tengu?
?　?　?

The Demon Tengu? Aren't you a Karasu Tengu? If you're going to write on it, shouldn't it be written as Karasuma?

In any case, you can't have a raven tengu... it's definitely one of the strongest and most difficult enemies you can identify.

The base of the figure is a man and the face is a crow. His clothes are decorated in Yamabushi decorations, with crow feathers on his back, a tin cane in his hand, and a sword at his waist.

The most famous of the Karasu Tengu is the Karasu Tengu of Mount Kurama. He is known to have taught Ushiwakamaru how to use a sword.

I don't know what position the Tengu occupies in this game, but in real life they are the god of the mountain and are one of the three most famous youkai in Japan.

I slowly descend to the surface of the earth while the Ouma Tengu looks at me. Then, confidently, Livina steps forward.

''Hmph!　No matter how strong you are, if you're a man, it's my turn!

Surely Livina would have a chance to win... Ouma Tengu looks at Livina.

''Hmm... if you see me, you'll be crushed in the waist. Grandpa.

Livina says so, but there is no change in the Ouma Tengu.

''Oh, that?''

Libina is surprised by this result, but Ouma Tengu sighs and gestures with a sissy.

It's as if he wanted to tell you to come back to him after you've become an adult woman. This attitude of the Ousama Tengu touched Libina's opposite scales.

''Haha...haha...I'll kill you.''

Livina extended her claws and attacked the Ouma Tengu, but countered with a thrust of her tin cane to her stomach and crashed into a tree.

''Ugu...ki, it worked~''

Livina didn't get knocked down, but she held her stomach and looked like she was in pain.

When Gale releases his lightning, the Ouma Tengu slashes Gale's lightning with an iai. Can you cut the lightning? This tengu... but that wasn't all. He sliced through Aranea's steel thread, Foxcoat's evil flames, and Nowa's shadow spear all of which followed.

He's absurdly strong... this Ou Demon Tengu. When I am aware of the strength of the Ou Demon Tengu, the Ou Demon Tengu waves his tin cane at me.

I'll be warned, but my body no longer feels lazy. When I checked the status, the status abnormality had been fixed. Did that Orca Demon Tengu do this?

Then the Ouma Tengu extinguishes his tin cane and draws his sword from his waist. It seems that he wants a serious fight with me.

I haven't seen such a strange monster since Garbella Glow. Inari-sama and Nine-Tails were also different, but... hmm? Is this guy a monster at that level?

But they even went to the trouble of fixing my status quo to challenge me. I can't stop myself from answering.

"Noah... take a look at Livina.

Hi. Ni is in danger.

Noah is still a dragoneut, too. It's like he can see how strong the enemy is.

"It's a one-man fight. You must understand.

Hmm.

Good girl. Gail, Aranea, and the foxglove will step back, too.

Gow.

Gale, Aranea, and Foxxo also step back. I step forward and hold my sword at the ready.

We gradually close the distance between us and enter the gap between us.

I was the first to make the move. I flick the Ouma Tengu's sword and unleash a thrust. The Ouma Tengu ducks and dives into my pocket with the flicked sword.

I tried to guard it with my sword, but Ouma Tengu doesn't use his sword, he uses a kick. I quickly guarded the unexpected attack with my foot, but was blown away. However, I managed to stay on the ground.

Even though I guarded him, his life force was greatly diminished. This Ouma Tengu is definitely stronger than me. Of course it's true in terms of status, but the skill of the sword is quite good and evenly matched.

The problem with that is that it's as close as possible to the swordsmanship I was taught. It's like an old man who died, turned into a tengu, and is coming back to life. Not only does it sound like a joke, it's also a nightmare.

The Ouma Tengu looked at me, smiled, put away his sword and took an iai stance. I saw that and had a feeling that a technique I didn't know was coming.

The reason is that Ouma Tengu's attention is moving, unnaturally. In swordsmanship, focusing on the opponent is the foundation of the foundation. There must be a good reason for breaking it.

I hold my sword at mid-level and resolve myself. There is only so much you can do if your opponent is stronger than you.

The Ouma Tengu is coming towards me. And just before he unleashes an iaido, the Ouma Tengu transforms into three birds and attacks from the front left and right.

Don't worry, I'll be watching with three ravens for that battle technique! I change my sword from two-handed to right-handed, one-handed.

I've got to be able to hold the sword in my left hand and forcefully deflect the trajectory of the front demon tengu, the demon tengu slashing at me from the left side is stopped by my arm, but it is cut off.

It is a good idea to have a good time with the team, but it's also a good idea to have a good time with the team.

The next moment, the figure of the Ouma Tengu turns into a log. This is a transformation! An Ousama Tengu appears from behind a log with his sword at the top stage... this is not good. He completely got ahead of me.

And black out... when I wake up, I'm in my own bed in my room.

''Haha. That's too foul. That Tengu.

When he was cut, Ou Demon Tengu was laughing. I'm sure I would have laughed too. I can't help but see that Tengu's figure and the old man's figure. Is that why?　I'm glad I was able to fight that Orca Demon Tengu. I can't help but think so.

Then I log in again. The wasabi saved me from losing it in Despena... and then comes the info. What's that?

'Your one-handed sword level has reached 20. Martial skill [Continuous Slash] has been acquired.
'Your one-handed sword level has reached 20. Your sword skills have been released.
'Your one-handed sword level has reached 20. Your two-handedness skill has been released.
'One-handed sword level has reached 20. Your greatsword skill has been released.

Ah, even if you go back to death, your skills go up. The sword skill was finally released, but there's something about the way this was released that I don't agree with.

But let's get it as soon as possible... the skill points I need are 5 pts.

''I've acquired the sword skill. I've acquired the sword skill [Issen].

That brings my remaining skill points back to 62 pts. Then I tried to see if Despena would work in the hot springs. Then there was the first customer there.

'Yeah, hot water~'

What are you doing?　Inari-sama.

Inari, the fox god, was in the hot spring.

You were all here to enjoy it. We came here to enjoy it too.

You're too free...Inari-sama. Well, he's a god, so it's only natural that he's free.

''I didn't know the Konai Eiyu was here... I'll have to have it made in our realm too~''

He seems to like the hot springs a lot. Then he speaks to me.

"It looks like you've been badly beaten up by that old rascal, so don't worry about it, come in here.

Huh? Can I come in with you? Well, I'm sorry to bother you.

''Sounds like a lot of work - by the way, how's the Ravenous Demon Old Man doing?

'As you can see. Or rather, do you know each other?

Well, you know him. After all, he's the general manager of the Crow Demon Tengu.

...no, no. It's funny...

Why do you do that?　is here...

I'm here for you.

Is this a target? Me.

"The Demon Tengu is an unusual creature, you know. It's a good thing that he loves to fight with promising martial artists. The fact that he loves fighting is enough to make him live on earth if he is seated as a god.

Ah... it's the old man himself... the demon dog. And now I've heard the unthinkable.

"That Orca Demon Tengu was a god?

It's true that they are weaker than us and Carla... but if you only fight with weapons, I'd say they're the strongest among all the monsters. Even we may not be able to beat her~

Because it's crazy! I'm not an enemy to be fought in this state! They're trying to kill me, man!

Well, this time it's just a light greeting from that man. He won't be here for a while, so don't worry about it.

He was killed for a quick hello? Well, if he doesn't show up, fine... I thought as I looked at the starry sky.

Then I heard a voice.

'Kakka-kka!　I look forward to fighting a stronger version of you!　Farewell!

I look at Inari-sama.

"Good luck.

When I say that, Inari-sama is gone. That's it! Oh, God! I called Lily and the others and let Despena recover a bit before logging out.
