Chapter 135: Su Na Mountain, Su Na Ghost
The young monks in the temple were very happy about the arrival of Kirino Makoto. They immediately released the tachyon and dragged Kirino Makoto out to play while he was not too hungry.
"I haven't eaten noodles yet!"
"I'm almost tired of eating noodles. What's so delicious about this food? It's tasteless. I'll take you to pick fruits from the mountains."
"Fruit? Good."
After watching Kirino Makoto and the others leave, Takano Jun and Obike came to a room, and soon the shadow mage brought several plates of side dishes.
Obik was eating the food and talking at the same time.
"You came to me, you probably didn't just want to come and see me."
"I noticed that Kirino Makoto has a magical power. His super powers seem to be more powerful. What did you encounter?"
Takano Jun said: "It's nothing, I just asked Kirino to become a teacher of an alien from the universe. He happens to be very talented and intelligent, and is very suitable to learn from that alien's abilities."
Obik Kuaizi paused and rolled his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
After pondering for a long time, he slowly said: "Well, in recent years, I have noticed an inexplicable change in this world. It seems to be gradually returning to the time when monsters were prosperous."
Obik is well-informed, but he has never seen anything like this, but he is not a fool. He knows that once the world recovers to what it was like a hundred years ago, demons and monsters will inevitably emerge in endlessly.
Jun Takano: "That's why I came to you."
"As a great demon, you must know that monsters exist. I want you to help me investigate the traces of monsters."
Obik's expression became slightly solemn.
Monsters are no better than monsters. They are powerful, but most of them have the same brains and are extremely cruel.
Once you have contact with a monster, you may be targeted by it accidentally and then be attacked.
Obik said hesitantly: "You know, except for me, none of the monsters here can deal with monsters. If I agree to help you, it will be too dangerous for them."
Jun Takano said: "I'm not asking you to deal with monsters, I'm just asking you to look for traces. You don't have to go deeper. Just tell me some definite clues."
"Why are you targeting monsters? Most of the monsters had already gone underground a long time ago. When I was playing around in the village, there were still demons and ghosts left in the world."
Obik was very curious.
There are not many monsters. Strictly speaking, they are very few. According to human terms, they can be called rare protected animals.
What's more, most of the monsters are underground now. They only come across once in a thousand years. There are basically no people who can see them. Even if they do, they are probably dead.
At this time, why would Takano Jun focus on the monster?
Facing Obik, Jun Takano had nothing to hide. He said: "The earth is waking up now. The next era will be a period of battle between humans and monsters. In a few years, monsters will appear frequently.
I just want to get rid of some ferocious monsters before that to reduce human casualties."
"are you sure?"
Takano Jun nodded.
Obik, who has a relatively close relationship with humans, is naturally not used to humans being harmed, so he agreed.
"I will ask the little monsters to pay attention to the situation underground, but don't count on them too much. The era when monsters appeared is really far away from now."
"Just do your best."
Takano Jun and Kirino Makoto stayed in the temple for a few days. Takano Jun enjoyed his leisure time. Kirino Makoto took advantage of the opportunity to relax and went to the mountains with the young monk every day to play wildly.
"Goodbye, little monk."
"Goodbye, Kirino!"
The two little guys waved to each other and said goodbye reluctantly.
When they reached the bottom of the mountain, Kirino Makoto still had tears in his eyes.
Takano Jun sighed and said: "It's not a separation of life and death, why are you so sad?"
"No..." Kirino Mufu rubbed his eyes and said, "When I just went down the mountain, some sand got into my eyes with the wind. My eyes felt so uncomfortable."
"...Wash yourself with water."
"Oh~"
So during the rest of the journey, Kirino Mufu held a ball of water in his hand and moistened his eyeballs from time to time.
Fortunately, there was no one on the road they were walking on, so no one would notice Kirino Makoto's magic.
………………………………
Suna Mountain.
Even before Takano Jun reached the foot of the mountain, he could already see the strong resentment on the mountain range. If he hadn't known that there were no Awa people here, he would have doubted whether the people in the mountains were super beasts.
The reason why we set the target on Mount Shuna is because there is a Ghost in Mount Shuna, which is a monster location that Jun Takano has rarely identified.
"Mr. Takano, this mountain..." Kirino thought about his words for a moment, and then said, "There may be a ghost on this mountain."
Takano Jun looked sideways at Kirino Makoto.
Kirino Makoto explained: "I heard a roaring sound, like an evil ghost roaring filial piety."
Takano Jun said jokingly: "You are right, there is a ghost under the mountain. I brought you here just to let you practice your skills."
Kirino Makoto hesitated and said: "Ghosts...can magic work? I may not be able to."
"It's okay, I'm here."
The two of them stepped into Suna Mountain.
Compared with the chirping of insects and birds in other mountains and forests, Suna Mountain was obviously much quieter. The two of them walked for a long time without encountering a single bird.
Kirino Makoto rubbed the goosebumps on his arms.
"It's so cold in the mountains and feels so eerie."
Takano Jun complained: "Of course it's cold if you wear short sleeves."
As the two of them were walking, they saw a small temple.
Kirino Makoto suddenly saw such a scene in his eyes.
An unknown swordsman fought with a huge ghost. When the two sides fought, the world was in chaos, and thunder and fire intertwined.
The ghost was menacing and pressed against the swordsman with a huge stone sword in his hand, but the swordsman was calm and used his sword to repel the stone sword as if he was lifting a heavy weight.
Then, the swordsman jumped up and displayed sword skills that Kirino couldn't see clearly. He killed the ghost and divided the body into five pieces.
Seeing Kirino Makoto suddenly freeze on the spot, looking in the direction of the small temple with dull eyes, Takano Jun had some guesses.
When Kirino came to his senses, he asked, "Did you see a picture of the future?"
Kirino Makoto thought about the swordsman's attire, shook his head, and said, "What I saw was in the past. A swordsman killed a ghost. That ghost should be Suna Oni."
Takano Jun patted his head. He had forgotten the existence of Ida Iryu. It had been several years since he traveled to the Tiga world. Plus Leo and Ace, he had also been in the Ultra world for ten years, right?
So much time has passed that he has forgotten a lot about Tiga's plot.
"That swordsman is Ida Iryu."
With that said, Jun Takano broke the chain on the door and looked up at the golden statue inside.
"We may still be able to see this swordsman's style."
