Chapter 66 Island Nation Military
Chapter 66 Island Nation Military
Kaigaku's mental confusion was understandable, as he was experiencing a nightmare created by Enmu.
In his nightmare, Kuwashima Jigoro accused him of turning to evil spirits and serving them in order to survive.
Zenitsu Agatsuma, on the other hand, accused him of being an even cowardly coward than himself, a weakling who only knew how to surrender in humiliation.
During his time at the orphanage, the children he had summoned and killed by evil spirits, along with Kyōmei Himejima, questioned him about why he had done it.
This scene of being condemned by everyone brought Kaigaku to the brink of mental collapse.
He kept shouting things like, "Only by living can we have a future!", "I'm not wrong!", "I'm right!", and "You all deserve to die!"
After everything went black, he found himself standing in front of Li Ke and Yan Meng.
"You bastard!"
Once he came to his senses, Kaigaku glared at Enmu with a furious expression, his eyes brimming with undisguised killing intent.
"Perfect, let's have a fight."
After Li Ke said those words, Kai Yue immediately took action.
He could no longer suppress his killing intent and immediately swung his sword to slash at Nightmare's neck.
"clang!"
Suddenly, a thick shield, about half the height of a person, appeared in front of Nightmare, blocking Kaigaku's slash.
"Fifth Form: The World of Heat and Lightning!"
With a roar, Kaigaku launched another slash.
Since Kaigaku was parasitized by the parasitic granulation tissue, his strength, speed, endurance, physique, self-healing ability, and perception have all been significantly enhanced.
Afterwards, Li Ke also taught him the Quanzhen Martial Arts and the Golden Goose Skill, teaching him how to properly use internal energy.
Instead of simply channeling internal energy into the limbs to enhance explosive power, or channeling internal energy into swords to strengthen slashing power.
Now that he has obtained the essence of a Lower Moon demon's blood, Kaigaku's strength has been enhanced once again.
At this point, he already possessed the strength to challenge the Upper Moon.
Whether Kaigaku ultimately wins or loses is another matter, but it is a fact that he was able to contend with the Upper Moon.
"Type Three: Mosquitoes Swarm Like Thunder!"
The lightning strikes spinning rapidly around Nightmare were quite terrifying, but Kaigaku's expression grew increasingly grim.
This is because with each strike, a thick shield would appear out of thin air to block his attack.
This situation, where he had the power but couldn't use it, made Kaigaku quite angry and frustrated.
"It's my turn."
As Nightmare spoke, the ground beneath their feet turned into scorching lava, causing Kaigaku's expression to change drastically.
The shoes were being melted by the scalding lava, which was also carbonizing his feet.
At that moment, the sky quietly turned into a canopy of dark clouds, as if the city were about to be crushed by oppressive darkness.
"Since you like lightning so much, then let me show you what it feels like to be struck by lightning."
As he spoke, Nightmare revealed a twisted smile, seemingly thoroughly enjoying the feeling of tormenting others.
"Boom!"
Lightning flashed across the sky, striking Kaigaku and causing him to stand upright, his entire body carbonized.
However, the parasitic granulation tissue within his body continued to repair his body, allowing him to survive even the most severe injuries.
"Let's do it again!"
"Boom!"
Another bolt of lightning ripped through the void, accompanied by a deafening roar. Kaiyue could only collapse helplessly to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.
After seeing all this, Li Ke shook his head slightly.
In the dream world, Nightmare is practically a creator god, able to grant whatever it desires, and only the dream's owner can contend with it.
But for Kaiyue, the third party who came to Li Ke's dream world, he was completely unwanted and unloved.
"Alright, let's get back to reality."
As Li Ke spoke, Nightmare obediently ended the dream world.
Li Ke and Kai Yue felt a sensation as if they were falling from a great height, and then the three of them returned to reality.
"Nightmare, your Blood Demon Art is indeed very powerful, but it is also very weak and has great limitations."
I believe that instead of destroying the enemy's spiritual core in a dream, turning the enemy into a vegetable and then killing them, it's better to...
It would be better to take advantage of the enemy's sleep and simply sever their head with a single blow; after all, why go through all that trouble to kill someone?
Therefore, I suggest that you improve your own strength, at the very least your ability to dodge and maneuver.
The goal is to decapitate the enemy or crush their heart before they even realize what's happening.
Later, go find Ichiro and learn the corresponding martial arts and Thunder Breathing technique from him.
"Yes, sir."
Nightmare gracefully bowed and agreed.
I know that the guy named Ichiro must be the boy from that night.
Li Ke nodded slightly and then turned his gaze to Kaiyue.
"You have rendered meritorious service in protecting the emperor this time, and you must be rewarded."
After thinking for a moment, Li Ke said:
"Your reward is a kind of light-body skill called 'Water Floating'."
This light-body skill excels at surprise attacks and maneuvers. At its highest level, it allows one to walk on water as if on flat ground.
"Thank you, sir."
Kaiyue was overjoyed. During the previous battle, he had seen Li Ke use an unknown lightness skill.
This unknown lightness skill, compared to the Golden Goose Skill, is better suited for sudden bursts of attack, making it a perfect match for the Thunder Breathing Technique.
At this moment, Li Ke thought for a moment and said:
"It's time for our Ghost Hunter organization to be officially established, and your positions and benefits should also be determined."
Let's structure the Ghost Hunter organization as an intelligence department, logistics department, ghost hunting department, and special training department for now.
Kaigaku, you will be the head of the intelligence department, responsible for gathering intelligence and collecting blue spider lilies.
The blue spider lily only blooms during the day and has a high probability of appearing near Mt. Kumotake. You can hire humans to search for the blue spider lily.
After speaking, Li Ke turned his gaze to Nightmare.
"Nightmare, you will be the head of the Special Training Department, responsible for developing training plans and training your subordinates so that they can quickly become skilled and join the Ghost Hunter Department or the Intelligence Department."
As for the Demon Hunting Department and the Logistics Department, they will remain under Ichiro's temporary supervision until suitable personnel are found, at which point he will step down from his position.
Upon hearing Li Ke's words, Yanmeng and Kaigaku displayed different expressions.
Nightmare showed a disgusted expression, finding the matter troublesome, and he did not want to serve as the head of the special training department.
He only wants to torment others and enjoy the pleasure of tormenting them, and doesn't want to take on a lot of troublesome work for himself.
As for Kaiyue, he was pleasantly surprised. After all, who doesn't like power and who doesn't like being high above others?
Now that the Ghost Hunter organization has been officially established, the organization will be filled with manpower and intelligence personnel will be recruited. He will no longer be a lone commander.
This is a great thing for Kaigaku, who is extremely selfish and self-centered.
……
Meanwhile, as Li Ke's Demon Slayer organization was officially established, Muzan quietly arrived in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.
Chiyoda Ward is a wealthy area in the island nation and a place where many powerful and wealthy people gather, because the island nation's imperial family lives in Chiyoda Ward.
However, Muzan did not come here to commit murder, but to find Yamagata Arisu, the mastermind behind the military.
Yamagata Yupeng, a national hero of the island nation, is also the object of hatred for countless Chinese people who wish they could eat his flesh raw.
This was solely because he formulated the "Three Policies for Conquering the Qing" in 1894, and after the First Sino-Japanese War, he forced the Qing Dynasty to sign the humiliating Treaty of Shimonoseki.
Not only did it cause Taiwan to fall under Japanese occupation for 50 years, but it also completely lost the sovereignty of South Korea, which can be described as a grave sin.
But this is from the perspective of Chinese people. For people from island nations, Yamagata Yupeng is a national hero worthy of admiration.
Thanks to his achievements and prestige, Yamagata Arihiro had already resigned from many positions, retaining only the title of "elder statesman".
However, in reality, Yamagata Arifusa still firmly controlled the military, wielding immense power and influence.
