Demon Sword Maiden Volume 7 - Mount Ooe: Chapter 75 – Die!

Volume 7 - Mount Ooe: Chapter 75 – Die!

“Why don’t we make a bet? Will Kagami Lily surrender? Or resist? Although both decisions will lead to the same result. How about it? Miss Uesugi?” Shuten Doji was also excited the moment he realized that Lily was about to be captured. She had ruined a lot of his plans. By capturing her, not only could he claim a legendary beauty that would come into existence only once every few centuries, he could also use Lily as leverage against Uesugi Rei, and even against Fujiwara no Ayaka! There were so many benefits to gain!
Uesugi Rei tightly sealed her lips. She had nothing to say to this lustful Archdemon.
“Why would it turn out like this… Lily, why are you so silly…” For the first time in her life, she was filled with despair!
Since she chose to be a warrior, Uesugi Rei wasn’t bothered if she were to die. However, she couldn’t bear to watch Lily get hurt. This was her greatest weakness…
Uesugi Rei wasn’t the kind of woman who was so mentally resilient that she had no weaknesses.
On top of the insurmountable cliffs, Witch Momiji stood atop a tall spike. “Long time no see, Lady Kagami.”
“Momiji…” Why was Momiji here, and why was she so strong? Lily had no idea, and none of it was important to her anyway.
“Considering the fact that we were old acquaintances, why don’t you surrender obediently? You should understand what you’re dealing with. You don’t have to suffer any more pain, no?” Momiji emanated a soul-chilling aura, and her voice seemed to have the natural power of breaking people’s resolve. If Lily’s soul wasn’t as strong, she might be influenced as well.
Lily looked around. Three Fiendish Kings and all Ten Demon Enforcers were here. It was likely that all powerhouses within Mount Ooe aside from Shuten were present on the scene. She breathed deeply while staring at Momiji.
“Where is Sister Uesugi?”
Momiji smiled. “You don’t need to be in a rush. Well, she’s in the depths of Mount Ooe and is confined. If you surrender now, you’ll get to meet her very soon. Also, you sisters might just spend the rest of your life inside Mount Ooe!”
Lily glanced at the tall but gloomy Mount Ooe, slightly squinted her eyes and nodded. “So Sister Uesugi is in there?”
“That’s enough! Kagami Lily! Get on your knees and surrender right now!” Kenki pressed his blade into Lily’s neck. “Stop your pointless struggles. Since you were friends with brother Kenki, why don’t you surrender under my blade and let me hoard the accomplishment? How about it?”
Lily glanced back. “Brother Kenki, you want the greatest accomplishment, don’t you?”
“That’s right! Yes! So surrender! You won’t have to suffer any pain. Don’t be like Uesugi Rei, that stubborn fool. We had to beat her up until she nearly died before…”
Lily’s eyes suddenly became grim. She instantly crouched down and her long hair flicked around. She was so quick that Kenki couldn’t react as his blade was still in its original spot.
Lily used a leg as support and spun around while crouching. A flash of light suddenly erupted from her waist!
Splurt!!!
Kenki’s head was decapitated just like that.
“What… How dare you…” Kenki’s eyes were wide open, filled with shock.
However, Lily was so disgusted that she couldn’t even say another word to this scoundrel. She smoothly swung her blade once more, and instantly sliced through his pauldron, arm, and heart!
The cut traveled along his chest and sliced his body in half!
His red Anima left his body while shuddering.
The Anima seemed to still be sentient, as it instantly fled the moment it saw Lily. She didn’t pursue it but let out a ray of white light. The Demon Hound flew out of the white light and instantly pounced at Kenki’s Anima. With a bite, it tore it apart and ate it!
The painful wails from his soul made the surrounding Archdemons feel stressed out.
“Such a dirty and shameless soul. You don’t even have the right to be devoured by me.” Lily spoke grimly.
Shuten Doji also frowned after noticing Lily’s actions before chuckling, “hehehe, can’t believe that the lady is this cruel. Looks like she isn’t as weak as the rumors have it, no? But still, it’s just a pointless struggle. The useless Corpse Demon that was Kenki is very weak. And since his identity is exposed, it doesn’t matter if he died. However, Kagami Lily, you actually fed his soul to your dog. What a woman, you actually did such a thing despite being under such dire circumstances.”
“Lily…” Rei was still incredibly worried. Lily had decided to kill the weak and pitiful Kenki at the final moment. Although she did it to avenge Rei, it still didn’t help with her situation one bit.
“Why are you all sitting there? Since she’s resisting, do something! Capture her alive!” Shuten shouted.
“Do it!” Receiving the decree, Witch Momiji barked an order. The Ten Demon Enforcers were the first to take action!
“Kagami Lily! You killed my brother! I will make you suffer a fate worse than death today!” Aokiba Takamizu leapt up and raised his massive machete, about to strike Lily.
He naturally knew that he wasn’t her opponent. However, all Ten Demon Enforcers had simultaneously attacked at the same time while surrounding Lily and striking from different directions. Hence, he wasn’t afraid!
All of them were Throned Sovereigns. They had excellent synergy in a fight and were incredibly fast. Facing such an attack, Lily also moved immediately!
She turned into a flash of red light and charged Aokiba Takamizu right in front of her.
“Die! I’ll avenge my brother!” Aokiba Takamizu lost composure in the heat of battle. He ignored Shuten’s orders and aimed at Lily’s weak spot, his massive blade shimmered with energy that was strong enough to pierce thick metal as it slashed towards Lily!
However, Lily’s speed and reflexes were akin to a Celestial Maiden’s. And since she was empowered by Tsukuyomi Swordstyle, she was just way too quick!
Her body swayed around like she had teleported and avoided Aokiba Takamizu’s massive blade. The blade slashed downwards while being a hair’s width away from her shoulder. Meanwhile, Lily swung upward with Yasutsuna in hand.
Swish—! Aokiba’s head was instantly separated from his neck!
“Kagami Lily!!!” When Lily swung her sword, Touko Chakura instantly rolled forward and stabbed his burning-red sword into her waist.
Swish! However, Lily simply tapped her toes and jumped up onto the top of Touko Chakura’s head. Tucking her knees and doing a flip, the Cursed Blade moved along with her body and unleashed a massive crimson-red lunar sword wave.
Splurt! Touko Chakura’s massive body was cleaved in half! The sword energy destroyed the Throne Palace inside his heart with pinpoint precision!
“Die! B̲i̲t̲c̲h̲!”
Akahime unleashed her whip to restrain Lily’s ankle and raised her curved blade with the other hand, pulling Lily towards her!
Yet, while flying towards Akahime, Lily kicked in mid-air and created a wave of sakura petals, changing the direction. The massive pulling force made Lily fly away to the side with Akahime serving as the axis.
At the same time, Lily swung Yasutsuna!
She created a crimson-red sword energy that spanned across half of the cliff and carried the might of a Throned Monarch!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Three new members who joined the Ten Demon Enforcers were coincidentally charging at Lily. They were all middle-late stage Throned Generals. They couldn’t react to this attack at all as all three of them were chopped in half!
Then, Lily suddenly pierced Yasutsuna into the ground, releasing an incredibly powerful pulse straight into the rocky ground 100 meters deep. The rocks in this place were extraordinarily tough as well. She created a horrifying current using Yasutsuna as the fulcrum and dragged Akahime to watch her after knocking her off her feet.
Lily was unbelievably calm despite being spun around. After rolling over to Akahime, she grabbed the whip and wound it across Akahime’s neck.
“Watch me as I devour you!” At the same time, Pakuzan opened its gaping mouth and bit towards Lily’s back.
Wham! Lily grabbed Akahime’s hair and forcefully slammed her into the ground. At the same time, she used it as a fulcrum to fall backwards and raise her leg!
Her long and slender leg was erected like a divine spear and it smacked Pakuzan right in his fat chin, sending him flying upwards.
Lily didn’t waste any time after that. With a smooth motion, she yanked Akahime by her hair and dragged her towards Yasutsuna’s blade which was stabbed into the ground.
“No… No, no—!” Akahime screamed!
Swish! Her neck was pushed into Yasutsuna’s blade!
Lily’s dazzling eyes showed no hint of mercy as she pressed Akahime’s head and pushed hard!
Swish!
“Damn woman!” Soto-no-Oni, the strongest among all Ten Demon Enforcers, was now behind Lily and raised his massive claws. Bang! That punch was powerful enough to pulverize a mountain! It smashed the back of Lily’s head!
The incredibly powerful impact force made her feel dizzy. Her body fell forward while her hair floated behind her.
Clack! However, Lily stomped forward with our powerful legs and embedded herself deep inside the rocky ground, stopping her fall forcefully. Blood trickled down her lips as she turned around.
Even Soto-no-Oni was shocked. This pitiful woman had received a punch from a pinnacle Throned Sovereign at full force. But she was still conscious?
Suddenly, a horrifying red visage flashed in Lily’s hands.
Wham! Lily held Sakura Parasol with both hands and heavily slammed it onto one of Soto-no-Oni’s heads. His massive body actually spun around before hitting the floor. His head heavily slammed into a boulder, and one of them actually got smashed!
At this moment, Pakuzan was falling down with his mouth wide open. Lily simply raised Sakura Parasol and opened it.
Bang! She blocked Pakuzan while unsheathing Yasutsuna at the same time.
Swoosh! While she was retracting the parasol, she spun her wrist that was holding Yasutsuna and stabbed upwards! The tip of the blade pierced into Pakuzan’s massive mouth and poked out of the back of his neck!
Lily’s body slightly shook as she turned to the side. She pulled Pakuzan who was squirting blood from his mouth as he fell, and then stepped on him. Holding Yasutsuna with both hands, she dragged it from his mouth and across his body.
Swish! With a flash of light, Lily raised Yasutsuna overhead. Pakuzan was dissected!
At this moment, two agile demons who had recently joined the Ten Demon Enforcers were now behind her. Sporting massive eyes and spikes protruding out of their backs, they also carried terrifying hooks. They howled at the exact same pitch in near unison as four hooks were swung towards Lily’s back.
Lily clenched Yasutsuna tightly and suddenly turned around!
Clang—! A crimson lunar crescent flashed.
Those two late-stage Throned General Demon Enforcers had their arms and hook weapons shredded into pieces. Sent flying into the air, their torsos were subsequently cut in half!
Through the dismembered corpses of those Demon Enforcers, she spotted the Corpse Demon warrior with a gaunt body and purplish-green skin—One of the Four Fiendish Kings, Todo Koan. He was charging at Lily with incredible speed!
Within a moment, the large cup of fine wine in Shuten Doji’s hand was swaying intensely. He even failed to notice when he spilled some wine on his feet.
Shuten Doji’s mouth was wide open as he stared at the transmission orb with wide eyes. Only mere moments had passed!
Out of the Ten Demon Enforcers, Nine were killed! One was critically injured.References
