First, the race had changed.

They had changed from Oni to Mystic Oni.

All of their statuses had increased, and there was a feeling of power coming from the bottom of their guts.

And their skills had also increased, and Herculean legs and arms had been changed to Mystical Herculean legs and arms.

As for the added skills, Tenda has Godly Oni Sword Dance and Uchikage has Godly Oni Dark Shadow.

A brief summary of the skills is as follows.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

-Godly Oni Sword Dance-

This is one of the conditions that an individual Oni-race who has evolved can reach.

This skill is given to those who possess a katana while being an Oni.

All Godly Oni Sword dance moves can be used.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

-Godly Oni Dark Shadow-

This is one of the conditions that an individual Oni-race who has evolved can reach.

This is granted to those who are skilled in stealth while being an Oni.

One can use the black mist like a limb.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

It seems impossible, but since their status has actually changed and they are of a different race than before.

The two of them have evolved.

Their appearance has not changed much, but the power within them has become more powerful.

Only a few oni are granted the skills of Godly Oni.

Not even Gouki has been given this skill, which is the pinnacle of what an ogre can do.

The two, who had no way of knowing such a thing, were itching to try out this power.

In front of them were their parents.

But it is not an opponent that can be taken lightly, so they can go at him with all their might.

Tenda’s skills were upward compatible with the ones he had been learning, so he had some idea of how to use them, but Uchikage’s skills were unknown to him.

Moreover, he doesn’t know what kind of ability the dark shadow is.

What kind of adverse effect would it have on the other party?

Despite his apprehension, he wanted to try it out.

This place is a training ground to practise using their skill.

“*Inhale [Death God Echo Slam]!” (Jiinaru Enma)

“Godly Oni Sword Dance [Entwined Slash]!” (Yensogi)

Gouki shouted out one skill, lifted his foot and slammed it down to the ground.

But before he could do so, Tenda sliced the ground.

It was a simple horizontal swing.

There was no sound, not even a crack.

One would have thought that this was a quiet technique, a complete contrast to the earlier attack, but that was not the case.

DUGHAAAMM!!!!

A dull sound like something hard falling to the ground was heard.

Then, in rapid succession, there was the sound of boulders being shattered.

There was a crack in the ground from where Gouki was standing, and the ground was shattering.

This attack is a technique that causes the ground to shake, restricting the opponent’s actions.

The foothold at his spot also becomes worse, but since Gouki has a resistance skill called quake resistance, he can move with ease in the midst of the quake.

With this, he should have been able to limit their actions.

With this in mind, he approached them.

The rocks were in the way a bit, blocking his view a few times, but he was soon able to see their faces.

Their faces were serious, without a single expression of …… anxiousness.

And then realization dawned on him.

The ground beneath them was not cracked.

Rather, everything halted just one step away from that point.

Gouki was wide-eyed and amazed that such a thing was possible.

Tenda had performed one Godly Oni Sword Dance technique just before Gouki broke the ground.

Godly Oni Sword Dance [Yensogi] (Entwined Slash).

This technique is one that cuts in a completely different place than the trajectory of the sword, but this time he shot it into the ground.

Tenda knew that Gouki would break the ground with his previous move, and he gouged out the ground before he did so.

If the ground is severed, the area that can be smashed is limited.

Gouki had only smashed a portion of the ground that Tenda had cut away.

Gouki did not know why the two were standing there so calmly, and he was left to face the full brunt of Uchikage’s attack.

“[Godly Oni Dark Shadow]……”

A thick black mist appeared from under Uchikage’s feet.

The mist, which seemed to be dense and thick, quickly spread to the surrounding area.

The fog was extremely cold.

It is so cold that it seems to freeze even the air of this everlasting realm.

Dan-dan-dan-dan !!!!!

“Ghuah!”

He can clearly hear the sound of Uchikage running.

Purposely making a sound and approaching from the darkness.

It is a technique that is very far from being stealthy.

However, …….

“……!?　……*shiver!”

There was no attack.

Instead, fear began to stroke Gouki’s nerves.

He knows that the other party is his son, and that he is not a frightening person.

However, for some reason, the sound of his son’s footsteps in this space is the most terrifying sound he has ever heard.

He hears the sound, but no attack comes.

Although he seems to be repeatedly approaching and then moving away, it gradually creates the illusion that he is being heard from all directions.

“[Death God Eart-…”

“I’m over here. ……”

Uchikage appears behind him.

Although he couldn’t be spotted in motion, he was terrifying enough to be heard.

Like a lion hunting its prey.

His movements, tone of voice, and atmosphere are more terrifying than Spectre oni.

And the next moment, a strong shock hit his back.

“Gahha!!?”

With the force of the kick alone, the black mist around him was blown away with an explosive sound.

Then the light finally entered his eyes.

Once out of the fog, the fear vanished, but what he saw next was enough to make him ready to die.

“Godly Oni Sword Dance ……”

“Ho- Wai-…”

“[Vanishing Man-eater Spectre].” (Akkichisetsu)

This is an iaido technique that mimics a move to vanquish a Man-eater Spectre, a monster of misfortune, by a single blow of its fangs.

Both are objects of fear, and Man-eater Spectre is considered to be a monster that devours mankind.

Tenda thought that it was an imitation of a fight.

Gritting his teeth, he gripped the hilt and drew his sword, simultaneously lowering the hand holding the scabbard and swinging it out, using his wrist the moment the cutting edge came out of the scabbard.

Khiiiiiiiiiiinnnggg!!!!

After the swing, everything is quiet.

Gouki falls from overhead.

Tenda and Uchikage quietly walk up to where Gouki fell.

There, they see their father, who has lost one arm.

“I thought I’m dead! Ha-ha-ha-ha!”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to go that far. ……”

“No problem, no problem! Spectre Oni has a high capacity for self-regeneration. Their lifespan will be shortened again, but it will grow back soon.”

For the first time, he was not able to use his own power to his advantage, so he was not able to go easy on them.

At that time, Tenda launched an attack with the intention of slashing Gouki’s torso, but Gouki instantly punched the air and deflected his body.

However, he was unable to avoid the attack completely, so only his arm was cut off.

However, as Gouki said, this level of wound is not that deep for a spectre oni.

Their self-regeneration capability is incredibly fast, instead of their life span being shortened.

But that is only for external wounds.

The regeneration of internal organs is extremely slow.

Therefore, if the parts that are necessary for survival are damaged, no matter how tanky the spectre oni is, it will take a long time to regenerate, and in the worst case, they will die.

Considering this, an arm or two is a small price to pay.

……

He sighed once and stood up.

“Just go.”

“”Yes!””

Hearing those words, the two immediately run to Ouren.

They have not yet achieved their goal.

Over there, the sound of explosions had echoed earlier, but before they realized it, it was already quiet.

With anxiety caressing their spines, they ran to the spot at the highest speed they could manage.
