Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 219: Crow old man

As I continued my search, Kitsuneko reacted to the sky. What's the first?

Trio Crow Lv18

Summon Monster Subjugation Target Active

Three birds? From all appearances, it's a single crow... but then it splits into three right in front of me! I quickly wave my staff to knock down the alter ego.

Then my body becomes heavy. This is a curse. It's a curse and disease abnormal condition.

"...Nii, are you okay?"

"Takuto!? Are you okay!?"

"I'm fine...I'm learning...the curse is still effective even after defeating the minute body..."

Now, my opponent is a flying enemy. I don't want to be cursed any more.

"Aranea, make a trap with adhesive threads. Everyone, I'll kill that crow. Don't mess with it, even if it's in your body. You'll end up like me"

"...Hmm. I'll take shelter in the shadows"

"I think Nowa is cunning, don't you?"

I agree.

Because it's a crow, it debuffs, but if you're sick, normal debuffs don't seem to work. As a result, I became a wall for everyone.

We were on the defensive for a while, but just when I thought the three crows were on the adhesive threads and I was going to put a stop to them with my sword, it was the end.

I heard a slight shaking of the grass and I quickly jumped out of the way and rolled on the ground.

I looked up and saw a black metal bar where I had been. If I had been there, I would have been pierced by it.

The owner of it evacuated into the sky, probably because the surprise attack had failed. I'll identify it.

Karasuma Tengu?

? ? ?

Karasuma Tengu? Isn't it that Karasuma Tengu?

In any case, Karasu Tengu is no good...it's definitely one of the strongest and most difficult enemies you can identify.

The base of the figure is a human and the face is a crow. He wears a mountain priest's outfit with a crow's feather on his back, a tin staff in his hand, and a sword at his waist.

The most famous Karasu Tengu is the Karasu Tengu of Mount Kurama. He is known to have taught Ushiwakamaru to use a sword.

I don't know what the position of the Tengu is in this game, but in reality, they are considered to be the gods of the mountains and are one of the three most powerful monsters in Japan.

The Karasuma Tengu slowly descended to the surface, looking at me. Then Ribina confidently stepped forward.

"Huhuh! No matter how strong you are, if you're a man, it's my turn!"

Surely there is a chance to win for Ribina...Karasuma Tengu looks at Ribina.

"Huhuh...I'm going to get cramped when you see me. Old man"

Ribina is like that, but there is no change in the Karasuma Tengu.

"O, Oh?"

This result surprised Ribina, but Karasuma Tengu sighed and gestured with a sigh.

It's as if he's trying to tell her to come back when she's a grown woman. This attitude of the Karasuma Tengu touched Ribina.

"Ahahaha...haa...kill"

Ribina stretches her claws and attacks the Karasuma Tengu, but he slams his tin staff into the tree at the counter

"Ugu...ef, effective~..."

Ribina wasn't defeated, but she was hungry and seemed to suffer.

When Gale shoots lightning, Karasuma Tengu slashes Gale's thunder in the presence. Can it cut lightning? This Tengu...but that wasn't the only thing. He sliced through Aranea's steel thread, Kitsuneko's evil flame and Nowa's shadow spear.

It's so strong...this Karasuma Tengu. As I recognize the strength of the Karasuma Tengu, the Karasuma Tengu waves his tin staff at me.

I'm wary, but my body is no longer lazy. I checked my status and found that the abnormal conditions had been cured. Did the Karasuma Tengu do that?

Then, the Karasuma Tengu extinguished his tin staff and pulled out the sword at his waist. It seems that he wants a serious fight with me.

I haven't seen such a strange monster since Gerbera Grow. Inari-sama and the Nine Tails were also strange, but...hmm? Is this guy a monster of that level?

But he went to the trouble of curing my abnormal condition and challenged me. I can't not answer.

"Nowa...take care of Ribina"

"...Ya. Nii danger"

Nowa is a dragonewt after all. She knows how strong the enemy is.

"It's a battle of men. You have to understand"

"...Hmm"

"Good boy. Gale, Aranea, Kitsuneko, back off, please"

"Gau"

Gale, Aranea and Kitsuneko move back. I stepped forward, sword ready.

Gradually close the distance to each other and get into the gap.

It's the first time I've done this. The first thing I do is clash with Karasuma Tengu's sword and unleash a thrust. He ducks and dives for the sword that was flipped and jumps into my pocket.

I tried to guard it with my sword, but Karasuma Tengu didn't use his sword, he used a kick. I quickly guarded against the unexpected attack with my foot, but was blown away. But I managed to hold my ground.

Even though I guarded myself, I lost a lot of vitality. This Karasuma Tengu is definitely stronger than me. Of course he's stronger than me in terms of status, but his sword skills are pretty good, so we're evenly matched.

And the problem is that it's as close to the swordsmanship I was taught. It's like my dead grandfather turning into a Tengu and coming back to life. It's not only a joke, it's a nightmare.

When he saw me, he smiled, put away his sword, and took an Iai stance. I looked at him and foresaw a move coming that I didn't know was coming.

The reason for this is that the Karasuma Tengu's attention is moving in an unnatural way. Focusing on the opponent is the foundation of swordsmanship. If you want to break it, there must be a good reason.

I held my sword in the middle position and made up my mind. If your opponent is stronger than you, there is only so much you can do.

The Karasuma Tengu is coming towards me. And just before I unleash my Iai, the Karasuma Tengu split into three and slashed at me from three sides.

It's okay, I know that tactic from that Trio Crow! I change my sword from two-handed to one-handed in my right hand.

The first thing I did was to grab the front Karasuma Tengu's sword with my left hand and forcibly deflect its trajectory, stopping the Karasuma Tengu slashing at me from the left side with my arm, but it was cut off.

In the next moment, I grabbed the sword of the Karasuma Tengu with my left hand and forcibly turned it around.

The next moment, Karasuma Tengu's figure turns into a log. This is position switch! Karasuma Tengu with his sword raised appears from behind the log...this is not good. I've been completely predicted.

And then I blacked out...and woke up in my bed in my room.

"Haha. It's a big cheat. That Tengu"

The Karasuma Tengu was laughing when I was cut down. I'm sure I was laughing too. I can't help but think that the appearance of the Karasuma Tengu and that of my grandfather are the same. Is that why? I'm glad I got to fight that Karasuma Tengu. I can't help but think that.

After that, I logged in again. Thank God I lost the wasabi in Despena...and then the info comes. What is it?

Your one-handed sword skill level has reached 20. You have acquired the martial art Consecutive Slash

Your one-handed sword skill level has reached 20. The katana skill has been released

Your one-handed sword skill level has reached 20. The dual wield skill has been released

Your one-handed skill level has reached 20. The large sword skill has been released

Ah, even if I return to death, my skills will still increase, right? I'm not sure how I feel about the way the katana skill was released, though.

But I'll get it as soon as I can...I need 5 skill points.

You have acquired the katana skill. The katana technique Flash has been acquired

With this, my remaining skill points are back to 62pt. After that, I tried to see if the despena would work in the hot spring. There was a guest there.

"Eh hot water~"

"What are you doing? Inari-sama.

Inari-sama, the fox god, was in the hot spring.

"Because everyone else was enjoying it together. I came to enjoy it too"

Inari-sama is a bit of a free spirit, isn't she? Well, Inari-sama is a god, so it's only natural for her to be free.

"I didn't know this kind of thing existed here...I'll have to have it built in my area too~"

She seemed to like the hot spring a lot. Then she started talking to me.

"It looks like you've been severely beaten by the Karasuma old man~, I don't care, just come here"

Eh? Can I come in with her? Then I'll come in.

"Great~by the way, how did it go with the Karasuma old man?"

"As you can see. I mean, do you know him?"

"Well, I know him. After all, he is the supreme commander of the Karasu Tengus"

...No, No. It's funny...

"Why is such a person here...?"

"He's here for you"

Are you being targeted? Me.

"Karasuma Tengu is strange. He loves to fight promising warriors. He loves fighting so much that he has to live on earth to become a god"

Ah...I knew it was my grandfather's incarnation...that Karasuma Tengu. And I've heard a terrible thing.

"Is that Karasuma Tengu at the god level?"

"He's weaker than us and Garuda...but I'd say he's the strongest of all youkai when it comes to weapons-only combat. Even I might not be able to beat him"

You're crazy! It's not an enemy I can fight in my current state! The admins are trying to kill me!

"Well, this is just a light greeting from him. He won't be coming out for a while, so don't worry about it"

I was killed by a light greeting? Well, as long as he doesn't show up, I guess...I thought as I looked at the starry sky.

Then I heard a voice.

Kaakaakaa! I'm looking forward to the day when you're even stronger and I can fight you! Farewell!

I looked at Inari-sama.

"Okibariyasu (Good luck)"

With that, Inari-sama disappears. That's it? Ah, already! I summoned Lily and the others and after recovering a bit of my despena, I logged out.
