Chapter 13: chapter 13 Be my adopted son!
Be my adopted son!
What happened? Why did it suddenly disappear? Was it an illusion? But I clearly felt it touching me?
Araya Soren himself was caught in a series of questions. He had fought in many battles between magicians, but this was the first time he had seen such a strange situation as today.
Suddenly, two hands broke out of the ground under Araya Soren, grabbed his ankles and pulled him into the ground, leaving only his head outside.
Earth escape technique: beheading in the heart!
Not far away, Dongye Zou suddenly broke through the concrete ground. He looked a little dispirited, but unharmed.
Ninjutsu is divided into seven attributes: fire, earth, water, wind, thunder, yin and yang. Higashino Kanade's chakra is only of fire attribute, but it does not mean that other ninjutsu cannot be used if it only has fire attribute. It's just that the power of fire attribute chakra will be greatly reduced when using ninjutsu of other attributes.
At the beginning of the battle, Tono Kanade was fighting with a shadow clone injected with 80% chakra, while his real body was hiding not far away, observing the situation and looking for Araya Souren's flaws.
The sneak attack just now was the opportunity that Dongye Zou had been waiting for for a long time.
"You look much better with only a head left. Tell me! What is your purpose in staring at Shiki?"
"…For the root."
Araya Soren looked at Tono Kanade with an expression neither sad nor happy, as if he was explaining the truth.
Well, it's useless to ask.
Higashino Kanade couldn't help but hold his head with a headache. In his memory, most of the magicians in the Type-Moon world were mentally ill, a group of people who would do anything to reach the root.
Although Tono Kanade had forgotten the connection between Ryougi Shiki and Araya Souren's arrival at the Origin, it was right to kill them. Now he no longer had any extra chakra to use illusion to torture Araya Souren.
"You can't trap me."
Araya Soren exerted force and the ground shook and cracked. He was obviously trying to climb out by brute force.
"I know I can't trap you, but I can buy you enough time to blow you up."
Higashino Kanade took out detonating tags one by one and stuck them on the surrounding containers filled with flammable and explosive materials. In order to ensure that he would be killed by the explosion, Higashino Kanade used up all the detonating tags in his ninja tool bag in one go.
The detonating tag ignited. In these last few seconds, Araya Soren looked at Tono Kanade and asked in confusion: "Why would you rather die together with me than destroy me? Is it just to avenge your parents? Or do you love Shiki?"
"There are reasons, but you are wrong about one thing. I will not die with you."
Higashino Kanade quickly formed seals with his hands and used up his last bit of chakra to perform the instant body movement technique.
The next moment, a huge explosion resounded throughout half of Guanbuzi City. A flower of fire rose from Warehouse Street. The strong wind pressure blew away the containers, and even the river water trembled.
Not far from the explosion, Higashino Kanade's body suddenly appeared. He fell to the ground as if exhausted and soon passed out.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the temporary mission "The First Step of Revenge". You will be rewarded with a silver treasure chest. Do you want to open the reward? ]
…
It's a sunny day with no clouds in the sky.
In a famous private hospital in Guanbuzi City, a young man was lying in a luxurious private ward, watching today's news.
"In the early hours of last night, a huge explosion occurred on Warehouse Street in the coastal area. According to the police's preliminary speculation, the cause of the explosion was the aging of the natural gas pipeline buried deep underground..."
The corner of Higashino Kanade's mouth twitched. As expected, in the Type-Moon world, all explosions can be related to the natural gas pipeline. Can't the local managers or the people of the Holy Church come up with a new excuse?
Boom boom boom——
There was a knock on the door, and as the door opened, a very oppressive middle-aged man and a young girl walked in.
When Ryougi Shiki saw Tono Kanade lying on the hospital bed, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. Then she walked to the side and leaned against the wall without saying a word.
The middle-aged man was wearing a black kimono. His face was old-fashioned and serious. His black hair was neatly combed behind his head. From his steady steps, it could be seen that he must have been trained in martial arts.
"Tono Kanade."
When the middle-aged man spoke the name, his voice was as strong and steady as an ancient bell in a temple. As soon as he opened his mouth, he gave people around him a sense of oppression. It seemed that he was a person who had been in a high position for a long time.
Seeing this, Higashino Kanade guessed the identity of the middle-aged man. He was probably the current head of the Ryougi family and Ryougi Shiki's real father.
"Hello...Uncle." Dongye Kanade hesitated for a moment and gave this title.
"I have heard about your situation from Shiki. I am here to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Yoji family."
The head of the Liangyi family clapped his hands, and a young man in a suit walked in and handed a box to him.
"Back off."
The head of the Liangyi family took the box and opened it in front of Dongye Kanade.
All the money that caught my eye were the largest denominations, piled up in big chunks. A conservative estimate would be tens of millions.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. I heard that you lost your parents not long ago. I hope this money can help you." The head of the Liangyi family didn't even blink, as if he had done something insignificant.
The gang boss is really domineering. Does he give money in boxes?
Higashino Kanade's eyes were calm, he was not moved by so much money. After all, he was a ninja, money didn't mean much to him. If he really wanted money, he could just use his Sharingan to walk around the casino and make a fortune.
Dongye Zuo's calmness made the head of Liangyi family a little disappointed. It turned out that the people over there could not be easily moved by money. If he wanted to recruit him, he had to offer other conditions.
"Mr. Dongye, let me get straight to the point. In fact, the purpose of my visit this time is not just to express my gratitude. I also want to ask if you are interested in joining our Liangyi family?" The head of the Liangyi family used a respectful title this time.
"Marry into the wife's family?"
Higashino Kanade was happy in his heart, but his expression did not change at all.
"No, I want to ask if you are interested in becoming my adopted son?" The head of the Liangyi family shook his head, his tone very serious.
"reason?"
"As someone from the inside of this world, you should know that our Yoji family was once a famous demon-fighting family. However, due to the decline of the Great Source and the mysterious loss, our Yoji family has inevitably declined as a demon-fighting family."
"Four generations ago, our family occasionally produced a few exorcists, or magicians in today's terms, but by my father's generation, no one had talent, so our Ryougi family was forced to withdraw from the magic world and became an ordinary family today."
"But withdrawing is also a good thing for us. It allows us to develop in modern society with peace of mind. The Qianshen family, which is one of the four major demon-killing families like us, has now fallen to the point of being swallowed up by the branch family because of its stubbornness."
"But our development in modern society over the years has not been smooth. Whether it's the white or black world, we can still deal with the world of ordinary people, but some businesses sometimes attract the prying eyes of people on the inside, which makes our business very difficult."
"So you need someone who can help you deal with magicians, dead apostles and the like, right?"
