Chapter 275: The Frail Lord Is Killing Like Crazy!

After thinking through the key points, Konohamaru was no longer as gloomy as before.

Instead, he began to consult with Yaozai on the Ubuyashiki Family's centuries of experience in fighting the Demon King who shared the same bloodline.

Hunting along the way,

Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima and Konohamaru coordinated with each other.

The Meteor Hammer and Giant Axe flew wildly, while Shuriken and Fireball Jutsu danced together.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki had a frail body, but like a spiritual mentor, he continuously imparted methods for countering the Demon King to Konohamaru.

Soon, they arrived outside a nest.

【Discovered 【Minotaur Nest】, do you wish to explore?】

"Our luck is quite good; we actually encountered a game dungeon."

Konohamaru's eyes lit up.

He explained to Kagaya Ubuyashiki that a standalone Minotaur Nest like this could yield a large amount of experience and Reward Points.

For the two of them, who wanted to explore the game world, this was naturally something they could not refuse.

【Entry Fee: 50 Reward Points】

"Do we need to pay first?"

Black text suddenly appeared before Kagaya Ubuyashiki's eyes, and he found it somewhat strange.

Although Konohamaru had never eaten pork, he had seen ninja players clear dungeons, so he said without surprise: "That's right, you can enter the Minotaur Nest after paying. If you fail, the entry fee will be wasted."

50 Reward Points.

That could be exchanged for a weapon with decent stats.

The Reward Points in their inventory were sufficient; they were all rewards from just hunting Goblins, just enough to pay the entry fee.

"Let's go."

After the entry fee was paid, the Minotaur Nest officially opened.

Konohamaru, who possessed the greatest strength, took the lead and walked at the very front, the visibility within his field of vision gradually decreasing.

It was like the depths of a dense forest;

The massive canopy blocked the sunlight like a roof, and mist carrying a damp, rotting odor permeated the air.

"There is a monster."

Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima's ears twitched slightly, hearing an unusual sound above his head.

Konohamaru, who was just about to continue moving forward, hurriedly stopped and looked up.

Sure enough,

Two Goblin throwers carrying baskets stood on a thick tree trunk, turning their heads like sentries to patrol the surroundings.

"We must quickly take out those two throwers. They cannot be allowed to escape, otherwise, we will soon be surrounded by the rest of the monsters in the nest."

Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima frowned.

The monsters in the game world were very strong; each of these ugly-looking Goblins had a physique not weaker than a high-level demon.

Those Ice, Fire, and thrower Goblins were even more like troublesome demons who had mastered Blood Demon Art.

However,

To Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima, who possessed strength approaching that of an Upper Rank, they were not too difficult to deal with.

"Leave it to me!"

Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima raised his arms and gripped his Meteor Hammer and broad axe.

He took a deep breath, and visible white breath flowed from the corners of his mouth; Stone Breathing was pushed to its limit.

Stone Breathing was a basic Breathing Technique derived directly from Sun Breathing; no new branches had appeared for centuries, and it was extremely difficult to practice.

But it had been trained to the limit by the Stone Hashira.

First Form: Serpentinite Bipolar!

The Meteor Hammer and broad axe had already been thrown the moment he took two steps.

Wrapped in cyan-brown airflow, the two heavy weapons landed precisely on the heads of the two Goblin throwers, smashing them directly into pulp.

The seemingly cumbersome Nichirin Sword was, however, delicately handled without making much noise.

"Impressive."

Konohamaru gave a thumbs up; this level of attack technique could already be compared to the Ninjutsu released by some Elite Chunin.

The three continued to walk forward.

The mist grew thicker, and after successively taking out four Fire and Ice Goblins,

A massive black shadow emerged from the mist.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

A sharp Shuriken was thrown out.

Konohamaru moved his fingers, and after a slight sound of smoke exploding, countless Shuriken, like needle tips flashing with light, rushed toward that black shadow.

Bang.

The massive black shadow swung the Giant Axe in its hand, blocking some of the Shuriken, while the remaining ones pierced into its flesh, only slightly breaking the skin.

It did not cause much damage.

"Such thick defense."

Konohamaru's expression was grave.

His Reward Points were all used to increase his chakra reserves, so he could release Ninjutsu to his heart's content without worrying about insufficient chakra.

However, the high-level Ninjutsu and more expensive game abilities he possessed were actually not many.

Second Form: Heavenly Surface Smash!

Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima stepped on the chain and swung the Meteor Hammer violently, colliding with the Giant Axe the opponent hacked down.

Bang.

The sturdy Meteor Hammer, mixed with Scarlet Crimson Sand Iron, directly shattered with wisps of cracks.

A corner of the Meteor Hammer was flattened.

The mist was torn open,

and a massive Ox-Head with muscles like drumsticks, holding a Giant Axe, walked out from the mist.

Its scarlet, bloodthirsty eyeballs rolled, staring fixedly at the three people who had broken into its lair.

【Giant Axe Ox-Head Monster Lv. 4 (Commander Level)】

The Ox-Head lowered its head, white smoke puffing from its nostrils, and a faint red light emerged on its body surface.

Its horns, Sharp as a Blade, aimed at Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima who had provoked him, and it charged over like a giant truck.

"Rasengan!"

Chakra, like an airflow, was continuously kneaded in Konohamaru's palm.

He lunged directly at the Ox-Head from the side.

Bang.

The Rasengan interrupted the Ox-Head's charge, blasting a huge gash in its waist and abdomen.

"Mr. Gyomei Himejima!"

"Understood!"

Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima raised his hands and rapidly spun the chain; the broad axe and Meteor Hammer rotated simultaneously, like a heavy fan, cutting into the Ox-Head's body.

Fourth Form: Volcanic Rock Rapid Conquest!

The Ox-Head's skin was very tough, and after being continuously cut by the Nichirin Sword, it only barely showed a breach after a few seconds.

"Watch out!"

Drenched in blood and with a ferocious expression, the Ox-Head broke free, spun its body, and threw the Giant Axe like a shot put.

It spun like a wheel of death, rushing toward Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima, who had no time to retract his move.

Oh no.

Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima had nowhere to dodge and barely swayed his body, trying to block the spinning Giant Axe with his broad axe.

But he was directly sent flying by the spinning Giant Axe.

The Blade headed straight for his flesh and blood.

Even the strongest Stone Hashira was but a mortal; he would meet his end if he took the flying axe thrown with the Ox-Head's immense strength.

Konohamaru wanted to knead another Rasengan, but it was already too late.

Clang.

A pitch-black Short Blade blocked the spinning, powerful flying axe.

Sparks splashed,

and the flying axe was directly hacked halfway into by the Blade of the Short Blade, stuck in mid-air, unable to move.

It was seen that Kagaya Ubuyashiki stood in front of Stone Hashira Gyomei Himejima, gripping the Short Blade tightly.

His hands had already turned a pitch-black color,

as if wearing a pair of black leather gloves, emitting a cold, pitch-black aura.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki turned his head; his pupils had been dyed black, and at the center of his brow, a cross mark emerged, glowing slightly with black light.

"It's alright, I am here."

At the final moment, Kagaya Ubuyashiki chose to pay-to-win, redeeming the product on his Game Shelf that provided the greatest boost at this stage.

【Evil Hunter (Bloodline)】: Hunts evil and dark creatures, masters the power of Demon Hunting that makes most evil creatures feel fear, comes with the skill 【Demon Hunting Weapon】, a weapon condensed from the power of Demon Hunting that can pierce the core of all evil creatures.

For this item.

The Leader of the Demon Slayer Corps even sold five of the top-tier streets in the capital,

which, when converted into assets, was equivalent to the entire three hundred years of accumulation of the Ubuyashiki Family!
