Chapter 312: Family Intrusion and Interference

Chapter 312: Family Intrusion and Interference

The Flame Serpent's Flaring Glow played a crucial role on the battlefield, showcasing the importance of modern technology. The hybrids' physical qualities were not strong enough to withstand firearms, and even in their Dragon Transformation state, the Deathstalkers would succumb to a well-placed shot, especially with the added effect of mercury.

Mercury is extremely toxic to the Dragon Race...

The group led by Kanayama Kaoru faced the Demon Hordes, and within moments, half of them were dead or injured. After a round of sweeping gunfire, the weaker ones were instantly eliminated, leaving only a few dozen "elites." These enemies, with their exceptional bloodlines and enhanced by evolution potions, had allowed themselves to degenerate into Deathstalkers, and they were now capable of retaliating amidst the hail of bullets.

The mutated dragon claws, with their steel-like hue, shattered inch by inch, and the fearless demons charged towards the enemy position, their eyes filled with bloodlust. With their current physical state, they could disperse the formation in less than two seconds.

The henchmen, having completed their task of clearing the foot soldiers, sheathed their firearms and retreated, maintaining their vigilance. Kanayama Kaoru, Chu Zihan, and Caesar stepped forward simultaneously.

"It's our turn now," said Kanayama Kaoru, a smile creasing his aged face. He raised his long sword, and his body vanished from its spot like a ghost, reappearing with the head of an enemy warlord in his hand. Everyone present, except for Caesar, Chu Zihan, and a few exceptionally powerful demons, could not track his movements.

"The Head of the Kanayama Family is still full of vigor. That must be the Incantation of Instant," Caesar whistled. "It can multiply one's speed by a factor of nine, but it's said that even the strongest user of this Incantation has only reached the eighth level."

"It's an Incantation that can make the weak stronger and the strong even stronger. Even if you know about it, there's no way to counter it."

Chu Zihan's eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance. "I recall this Incantation being a lower-level Incantation of 'Zero' by Principal Ange. But theoretically, the multiplier of Instant should far surpass that of Zero."

"Theoretical values and actual values are different. The ninth level of Instant is said to multiply speed by 512 times, but how much faster it actually makes you is hard to say. Principal Ange's Zero might have a lower multiplier. Let's go."

Caesar aimed the modified Desert Eagle at a warlord and fired two shots. The 'Wind Demon Scythe' delivered precise and accurate shots. The first bullet hit the thin-skinned temple, shattering the protective scales, and the second bullet followed closely, smashing the skull and causing an explosion.

The blade of Murasame trembled slightly, and the spirit within seemed to sense its master's desire for battle. Fine droplets of water appeared on the blade, and Chu Zihan charged into the enemy formation.

He swung his blade, creating a spray of blood. The incredibly sharp blade easily sliced through the dragon-transformed scales, and his killing efficiency surpassed even Kanayama Kaoru, who had used Instant to multiply his speed.

A warlord, with half his body dragon-transformed, blocked Chu Zihan's blade, nearly having his fingers severed. But with a sinister smile, he entangled Chu Zihan with his entire body, almost tearing him apart with his immense strength, refusing to let go. Meanwhile, another enemy took advantage of the situation and lunged at Chu Zihan with its claw-like hand, aiming for his chest.

Boom!

A burst of azure Lord Flame erupted from Chu Zihan, radiating intense heat. The Deathstalkers screamed and wailed as their bodies burned and melted. Chu Zihan raised his hand and executed them one by one, emerging from the flames like a youthful version of the Bronze and Flame King.

Caesar was not pleased. Although they were teammates, he did not enjoy being outshone by Chu Zihan.

The ancient Incantation began to vibrate, its voice like thunder, growing louder and more resounding. The invisible Wind Demon Scythe trembled and turned crimson all over, transforming into a semi-tangible bloodthirsty messenger.

Incantation of Bloodthirsty Scythe!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

In just a few seconds, countless bloodthirsty scythes sliced through tendons, knees, and various joints. Blood gushed out, and rows of enemies fell into paralysis, losing their ability to resist.

The remaining lucky ones looked around in terror but could not find the attacker. This invisible oppression was more frightening than the physical slaughter, and as they watched their comrades fall one by one, they finally scattered in panic.

"I'll go after them," said Chu Zihan, exhaling a breath of turbid air. He set off with some of the Enforcement Bureau members to pursue the fleeing enemies, while the rest of the Bureau members approached to clean up the corpses and load the defeated demons onto a vehicle. They would be imprisoned in the family's "Black Prison," never to see the light of day again.

A demon, with all its joints severed by the bloodthirsty scythe, struggled like an eel, trying to bite with its sharp teeth.

Caesar raised an eyebrow. "These demons are so loyal to the Warlord. They're willing to fight to the death, even in a hopeless situation."

"Don't try to understand demons with human logic. They are the embodiment of the Dragon Race's bloodthirsty and violent nature. If you can understand them, you're not far from becoming a demon yourself."

Kanayama Kaoru spoke calmly, his voice carrying a hint of desolation.

The demon, hearing their conversation, let out a maniacal laugh, its face contorting. "You excellent bloodline holders don't understand the misery of demons. We're born into special containment, forever imprisoned in a tiny corner of the world, subjected to endless tests..."

"Even without the Warlord, we would have chosen to take revenge on you oppressors who imprison us under the guise of justice!"

The Enforcement Bureau members, with stern faces, took the demon away. Just before getting into the vehicle, he screamed hysterically.

"We are humans! Just like you all!"

Caesar was slightly startled, his expression changing slightly upon hearing these words.

Kanayama Kaoru noticed this and shook his head with a smile, "Seems like you're quite touched by that, Gatuso-kun?"

"A little bit. Aren't all the half-breeds in Japan from the Serpent Clan? Then the Demon Hordes should also be..."

"Yes, the Serpent Clan is the manager of Japan's dark side, but even managers have their dark sides. The Demon Hordes are all escaped members of the Serpent Clan. Due to their unstable bloodlines, they were subjected to strict management and restrictions. Then, dissatisfied with the status quo, they escaped."

Kanayama Kaoru chuckled softly, "Do you think we're not treating our clansmen well enough, Gatuso-kun? The bloodline tests are rigorous and never wrong anyone. For those clansmen, we also arrange for their accommodation, food, and travel. We provide educational opportunities, and even after the probation period, they can be released. They indeed lack freedom, but we've done our best to treat them well."

"You think they're pitiful, that they've been treated unfairly. But in reality, the first thing every escaped Demon does is indulge in their desires, killing and violating women, and mercilessly slaughtering ordinary people who offend them—the elderly, children, and the weak. Every Demon carries the weight of dozens of lives on their shoulders."

He snorted with a laugh, "If you really think we're unfair, just take revenge on us. Why bully defenseless ordinary people with your bloodline? It's not because the Serpent Clan and the Enforcement Bureau's executives are hard to kill, and ordinary people have no means to fight back. Deep down, they believe in the law of the jungle, like animals."

"These Demons always talk about longing for the light, saying they're moths in the shadows. In reality, the first thing they do after gaining freedom is to vent their desires. If they didn't kill people along the way, the Enforcement Bureau wouldn't have such an easy time chasing after them."

Kanayama Kaoru coldly concluded, "The reason why evil people are evil is not because they're evil by nature."

Caesar found this statement a bit extreme, but he couldn't refute it at the moment.

Firstly, it had some truth to it, and secondly, the world was never as ideal as one might wish. The treatment of those with unstable bloodlines was probably the best solution the Serpent Clan had found after generations of trials. As a newcomer who had only been here for a few days and didn't fully understand the situation, it wasn't appropriate for him to voice his opinions.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated, and Caesar took it out. It was his uncle, Frost Gatuso, who frowned and spoke coldly.

"What's the matter?"

"Caesar, where are you now?"

Frost's voice was tense and urgent.

"Tokyo, Japan. I'm on a mission. What's the matter?"

"Nothing much. Just that something happened at school... and then, your father might have to come over."

Frost seemed to know the relationship between father and son, as his tone was very tactful.

Caesar's frown deepened, "What's he coming for?"

"I don't know. It's just that fathers and sons have a special connection, and I feel like you've grown a lot recently. He wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with you?"

Frost's voice carried hesitation, as he too couldn't understand why his brother, who flew all over the world, had a sudden urge to see his son after being unfaithful and neglecting his duties all day long.

"When is he coming?"

"Do you want to pick him up?"

"I can try to shoot down his private plane with a rocket launcher from my yacht."

Caesar spoke indifferently.

"I doubt you'll have that chance."

Frost gave a bitter laugh, "He's coming by hot air balloon, and... he's already here."

Caesar hung up the phone and looked up, sensing something. A large parachute descended from a distance, carrying a man in his thirties. He had a handsome face with a carefree and unrestrained smile, a robust build, and particularly well-developed chest muscles.

"Son! Dad's here to see you!"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiushuba~~

The man waved at him with a playful smile.

Caesar raised his Desert Eagle expressionlessly, aimed at the parachute, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

...

Chu Zihan, who was pulling Murasame out of the Demon leader's body, suddenly stopped and felt an inexplicable palpitation. He covered his heart, frowning as a sharp pain hit his temple.

The Demon leader's blood flowed on the ground, slowly spreading into a scarlet mirror. In the mirror, a vague, majestic figure flashed by.

...

The two, moving at high speed, turned into shadows. Each blade they threw out shone like the light of the stars and moon, illuminating people's eyes. Sparks flew as their weapons clashed, like a fire tree with silver flowers, and the blades were as dense as a rainstorm.

In a battle without interference, Gen Shina once again found himself at a disadvantage, while Fujima Ryuuji continued to grow stronger.

Currently, he hadn't consumed the final vial of the latent evolution potion, but facing an opponent of similar strength caused his blood to circulate faster, gradually digesting the evolution potion. His hair grew at a visible rate, and his eyes became increasingly bright and clear.

Complex incantations reverberated, and Gen Shina was the first to use an incantation. For a half-dragon, an incantation was the most likely means to turn the tables. A transparent domain formed, and an aura of authority spread out.

Incantation: Sovereignty!

This incantation caused everything within the domain to be subjected to the will of its master, and under the pressure of ten times the gravity, even a half-dragon or deathstalker could only crawl on the ground, bowing and kneeling to avoid breaking their spines and bones.

Fujima Ryuuji's body became slow and heavy. Although, in the eyes of ordinary people, his sword swings remained as fast as lightning, not slowing down much. However, his opponent could sense the difference.

Swish, swish, swish!

Dense sword lights slashed towards Fujima Ryuuji's body from all directions. The crisscrossing wounds instantly covered his fair skin, whiter than a woman's. Blood splattered, but he seemed to feel no pain. He continued to laugh maniacally as he swung his sword, and his hair grew even faster. Under the domain of Sovereignty, he could still persist, and the effects of the potion were even more quickly dissipated!

"Sovereignty, truly an incantation befitting my brother! You're always so outstanding, a born leader. Do you remember? When I was little and couldn't keep up with my teammates in basketball, you would stand by and silently guide me with your lips."

Fujima Ryuuji's voice gradually softened, "I was different. I was always mocked for being like a girl. My incantation is also like a girl's, lacking the awe-inspiring dominance of my brother. What a pity."

His incantation was also released, and the invisible domain did not replace Sovereignty. Instead, it carried a silent, deadly intent, belonging to the White Queen—Incantation: Dream Eater!

Hanae raised her hand again, and Fujima Ryuuji's incantation made her feel a sense of unease. She had to 'judge' him before the domain fully formed!

"Don't worry, I'm here."

At some point, three magatama began to rotate in Lu Ke's eyes, eventually forming a straight line.

At the same time, a layer of blue light emanated from his hand, enveloping both combatants in the battlefield. They both paused their actions and slowly closed their eyes.

"Let me make a small adjustment."

...

The scene before Gen Shina suddenly changed, and he fell into a dream.

It was in his childhood home, where he saw himself and his younger brother hugging each other for warmth. He saw his brother leaning against him with affection, looking at him with yearning in his eyes.

His perspective didn't follow himself but instead followed his younger brother.

He saw a man with a white Noh mask appear before his brother, using captivating charm to gradually lure the boy, leading him towards the back mountain.

When the boy became tired and sweaty, the man took out vial after vial of potion to entice him to drink, gradually tempting him to fall, and finally, he took out a black clapper.

Then, Gen Shina fell into depravity and became a demon. On the night he killed her, she transformed into Fujima Ryuuji and became the "Dragon" of the Demon Hordes.

With each clapper sound, he rolled on the ground, staining his hands with fresh blood.

...

Fujima Ryuuji also fell into a dream, and he opened his eyes in surprise, only to find that the nightmare he had set up early on had been altered. The scene before him wasn't the one he shared with Gen Shina, an unforgettable memory, but something else.

He looked coldly at the young Gen Shina repeatedly protecting himself, watching as he stroked his head, and also seeing himself leaning against his brother's embrace, falling asleep peacefully to the sound of his heartbeat every night.

His perspective didn't follow himself but instead followed his brother, witnessing the harsh training his brother endured, accepting the task of slaying demons under his foster father's expectant gaze. He went to the store and bought the game console he had always wanted.

This time, he saw the beginning and end of the whole affair, watching his brother's expression of shock, sadness, and despair when he discovered that he was the very demon he was tasked to slay. He saw the tears in his brother's eyes as he plunged the sword into his heart and threw him down the well. He witnessed his brother waking up from nightmares night after night.

He watched as Gen Shina gradually grew up to become the head of the Japanese Branch's Execution Bureau, the true leader of the Genji Clan, becoming the "Emperor."

...

Time passed quickly, and Gen Shina saw Fujima Ryuuji, under the Warlord's control, preparing to kill Lu Ke. Fujima Ryuuji also saw Gen Shina, holding a sword, ready to kill Lu Ke.

When their gazes met, the domain of Dream Eater quietly vanished.

Gen Shina and Fujima Ryuuji opened their eyes simultaneously, falling into silence.
