[Inuyasha] Spider Silk

--"We're fucked."

Time seemed to stand still for a brief moment.

The gloomy sky, the miasma-filled city, the withered garden, and the surrounding scenery all disappeared at that moment.

The monster whose head was turned away by her had long black curly hair spread out, and the pupils of the eyes that were frozen in a contracted state were blood-red, frozen in an unbelievable moment.

I don't know who slowed down his breathing, whose blood suddenly accelerated and boiled.

With a click, the stopped time suddenly began to flow, scarlet pupils suddenly looked at her, Kagura seemed to call her name in a panic, the miasma of riots was overwhelming at that moment, and the monsters lurking in the city suddenly came out .

The saber at Saori's waist trembled violently, she drew the knife out of its sheath, and the green-scaled snake demon opened its huge mouth, almost biting towards her close to the ground.

Hot blood swirled out, she split the monster's head with a single knife, and kicked back on the collapsed corpse, the bitter wind blew past her ears, her vision suddenly turned around, Saori clenched the long knife tightly, The surrounding monsters jumped up, the snow-like sword light flashed, and the puffy blood mist burst into the air suddenly.

The remains of the monster fell to the ground along with the rain of blood. The other monsters were stimulated by the smell of blood, and their hiss became more and more horribly loud. As soon as the yarn hit the ground, the monster turned around, and the horned monster slammed into the courtyard In the promenade next to it, countless fragments burst and splashed.

She leaped onto the collapsed roof, turned around and cut down the chasing monster with a single knife, ran a few steps and jumped to the eaves on the other side. Split in half.

The monster's blood stained the blade red, and the blood beads fell down the corner of the clothes. After landing, Saori didn't stop, and ran along the corridor quickly. She ran to the end of the corridor, and was about to jump out, when a monster suddenly rushed out from some tricky angle like lightning.

She immediately wanted to adjust her body shape, but the monster was extremely fast. The moment she swung the knife, it suddenly opened its sharp teeth and bit her knife into the mouth. Rush into the sky.

The howling wind and the sense of weightlessness suddenly struck, and the world that caught my eyes instantly reversed.

For a moment, Saori realized that she seemed to be looking down at the city full of monsters. The monsters in the city were neighing in unison, and for a while it seemed like all the ghosts were crying together, and in the center of the storm caused by the miasma, it seemed that the person who looked up at her , the dark red pupils seemed to tighten slightly for an instant.

The sound of the wind roared rapidly in my ears, the monster flew higher and higher, the sky and the earth turned upside down in my field of vision, the center of gravity of my body was completely pressed on the arm tightly gripping the handle of the knife, the severe pain of tearing spread like fire along the nerves, and the yarn weaved Trying to free up one hand, when the monster turned its direction high in the air, I punched it hard into its eye socket, grabbed a broken crystal or something, and tore it together with blood and foam. come out.

With a deafening wail, the monster bit her knife, as if the snake had its muscles and bones pulled out, staggered, and fell rapidly towards the ground and the city in the center of the miasma, regardless of direction.

More monsters surged up, opening their huge mouths and sharp claws in the direction of her fall.

Saori pulled out the blood-stained blade from between the monster's teeth, and her body lightened suddenly at that moment, as if lifted by a sudden wind, and then fell into the dense crowd of monsters attacking her .

Raising both arms to protect her eyes, Saori suddenly clenched the handle of the knife——

With one stab, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The blade tilted, a horizontal cut, and another monster's corpse fell down.

She stepped on the corpse of the monster and fell from the sky.

The sound of the sudden wind, the sound of knives splitting flesh and blood, and the howling of monsters, all kinds of sounds flooded into her ears. Her narrow field of vision was filled with twisting and entangled monsters and miasma. With a knife, the brain falls into a blank state of complete concentration.

The temporarily distorted reality seems to have become particularly distant.

——"Since this thing is so dangerous, why do you still carry it with you?"

Inexplicable memories suddenly flooded up.

The fire in the fireplace swayed quietly, and the person sitting by the fire was wearing a coat. His long black curly hair was as thick as seaweed, and his gently drooping eyelids left light shadows on his pale skin.

She picked up the fragment of the jade of the four souls.

——"I originally wanted to sell it for money, but later discovered that it could talk, so I stayed for the time being."

In the snow-covered valley, in the twinkling winter day among the birch forests, more pictures suddenly surged up one after another like snow-white droplets in the sea, the fiery red maple leaves rustled and fell, and the flying arrows pierced into the hole below the bull's-eye with a whistling sound. The tree trunks and the heavy city gate creaked open in front of them.

She puts fresh wild flowers into clay vases, cooks soup by the clay stove, and the vendors in the castle town put the washi paper wrapped in caramel in her hand. She looks at the people sitting beside her by the dim candlelight. Get up in the early morning light, leaned over with a smile and kissed his hair.

--"You're back."

The wooden door slid open, and a monster in human skin sat by the fireplace, looking at her.

...The things that existed for a short time and happened not long ago suddenly seemed like a lifetime away.

Saori cut through the miasma that covered the sky and the sun with one knife, and cut down the monster roaring at her one after another.

The hot and surging emotions in her chest faded a little with each swing of the knife, and the confusion in her heart continued to decrease and fade away until her stable mood never wavered again, something suddenly loosened, and with the whistling, The incoming wind was carried into the high sky behind her.

As soon as the vision was clear, the person in the center of the vortex raised his hand, and countless tentacles rushed towards him. The sound of gold and iron intersecting sounded one after another, and the sharp knife light flashed alternately. In front of Naraku.

The blade and the back of the knife turned quickly, Saori held the knife with her right hand backhand, and swung it suddenly from bottom to top after landing.

The light of the knife slashed against Naluo's shoulder, she turned around and grabbed the jade of the four souls that fell out, and ran towards the edge of the barrier without hesitation.

The moment the Jade of the Four Souls left Naluo's hands, the sudden radiance attracted the eyes of all the remaining monsters in the city.

The ground shook behind her for a while, Saori jumped onto the roof of the main hall, and the monsters who broke free from Naraku's control rushed like crazy, she turned around suddenly, and threw the jade of four souls into the group of monsters with all her strength !

The group of monsters howled like ghosts, and the tentacles chasing after her paused for a moment.

But a moment—a moment of hesitation is enough.

Taking advantage of the chaotic gap, Saori sprinted a few steps, grabbed a monster and turned over and rode on it. The knife in his hand pierced hard into the hard scales. go.

"... Kagura——!!!!"

The wind user standing on the roof ridge in the distance suddenly came back to his senses, and his limbs, which had been immobilized by the murderous pressure, suddenly regained their freedom.

She immediately pulled out her feathers and chased after him.

The hurricane rolled up, and the frantic miasma rushed in.

But at that moment, Saori suddenly looked back at her.

Kagura paused for a moment, and the moment she hesitated briefly, that figure had already rushed out of the barrier covering the city——

Free again.

……

The situation near Maple Village has been a little strange recently.

A group of black monsters flitted across the sky from time to time, wandering between the mountains and plains. Those monsters neither attacked villages nor devoured humans. If they lingered in one area long enough, they would leave for a new place.

"...It's as if he was looking for something." Maitreya looked at the direction where the monsters left, and frowned slightly, revealing a pensive look.

"But what are they looking for?" Coral carried the flying bones on her back, and the group of monsters turned a blind eye to them and the group, flying mightily through the air above their heads. Inuyasha next to him couldn't help but sneezed. He was a little uncomfortable with the strong and excessive evil spirit.

In order to find a way to break the barrier of Naraku, they followed Ming Jia's advice and decided to go to the West Country to find the lair inhabited by the Hundred Ghost Bats.As long as Inuyasha defeats the monsters who have guarded the Barrier of Hundred Demons and Bats for generations, Tieshaya can gain even more powerful monster power.

It was the second day of their journey, and before they even stepped out of the border near Maple Village, they saw several groups of monsters flying across the sky in darkness.

At the beginning, they were still a little wary, but later they found that those monsters had no interest in them, and they didn't look like they were going to attack humans. Their vigilance was slightly weakened, but more doubts came up.

"Tch, do you still need to guess, such a strong evil spirit must be related to that guy Naraku and can't escape."

Near noon, the sun sifted through the dense tree shadows.The group was resting by the river, Inuyasha was sitting by the rock with a knife in his hand, Kagome took out a bento from his backpack, Qibao ran to the river to fetch water with a bamboo tube in his arms.

The river was gurgling, and the sunlight shattered into blurred golden awns on the water surface.

Qibao put the lid on the bamboo tube, and the sparkling water suddenly fluctuated. He moved closer curiously, and the shadow at the bottom of the water suddenly jumped out at that moment. With a sound, the splashed water fell on the gravel beach by the river.

"... Kagome!!!" The little fox demon sat back in fright, her tail puffed up.

"It's the water demon——! The water demon has appeared!"

Qibao rolled and scrambled, the red figure jumped over his head, Inuyasha pulled out his broken teeth, and jumped onto the river beach in the blink of an eye.

"……you……"

The man who came up from the river twisted his hair dripping with water, and the small sleeves he wore could no longer see the original color. There were dark red blood stains here and there, as if he was picked up from the blood. came out the same.

As if Saori just realized that there was someone by the river, she raised her head to meet the suspicious eyes of Inuyasha and his party, and raised her hands belatedly, indicating that she was not malicious.

"It's not my blood." She paused and explained, "Most of it is the blood of monsters."

"Why are you here?" Inuyasha held the knife, looking a bit like a dog with fried hair.Qibao, who was also frightened by her way of appearing on the stage, nestled in Kagome's arms. Kagome hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Inuyasha, I don't think she's malicious."

Inuyasha's expression seemed to be shaken a bit, but he still said stiffly: "...this guy smells like Naraku."

As soon as the words were finished, Sha Zhi walked backwards into the river with her hands up, soaked herself in the water again very seriously, and then emerged from the river.

"Any more?"

"..."

"..."

Inuyasha: "Also..."

Kagome: "Sit down."

With a muffled bang, the world finally fell silent.
