Protagonist:

Zang Ye

"Is anyone up there!!"

Under the house, a villager shouted.

Seeing no response, the villager climbed the ladder, reached the roof, and discovered it was empty,

"What's going on? Who put the ladder here?"

The villager muttered to himself, climbed down, and put the ladder away..

The banquet was still lively; no one noticed this little interlude.

……………………Divider…………………

"Kagome, this package of yours is a lot heavier this time!?" Shippo tried to carry Kagome's large yellow package and found he couldn't lift it.

"Mm, I have exams next week, so I tried to bring all my reference books." Kagome replied.

Sango: "It looks really tough..."

Shippo: "But Miroku said it doesn't matter if you fail..."

"Zang Ye said, don't worry about failing or anything, he'll find you a good job, he can even make you the Boss directly..."

Kagome was a bit helpless, "Honestly... didn't expect Monk Miroku to say that too..."

"Shippo, I don't want to rely on Zang Ye; if I did that, what would be the meaning of my student era!?"

"Although I don't quite understand what you're saying, Kagome. But... relying on myself to become a great Yokai is my goal too." Shippo clenched his fist, looking full of fighting spirit.

"Shippo is so cute..."

Sango laughed, covering her mouth.

"Hmm... seems like someone's coming." Shippo looked into the distance,.

A villager walked over trembling.

"It's the smell of blood!?"

Inuyasha, who was grilling fish, sniffed the air with his nose.

Zang Ye retracted the puppet threads in his hand, frowned, "That's right, smell of blood,, that direction..."

"That person is..."

In his sight, a villager walked over with difficulty, covered in wounds that had dyed his clothes red.

"His condition doesn't look too good..." Miroku felt things were getting serious.

Just then, that villager suddenly collapsed.

Everyone was shocked, went to check, and discovered the villager was already dead.

"This wound, it's not a knife wound..." Miroku said.

"He's not the only one killed; the air is thick with the smell of blood. This is no joke; a lot of people must have died." Inuyasha looked gravely at the place the smell was drifting from.

"Big trouble. Judging from the wounds, the enemy's methods are extremely cruel." Zang Ye rarely revealed a trace of a grave expression.

This villager had over ten wounds on his body, but only one fatal wound.

If the enemy hadn't intentionally let him go, this villager would have died long ago.

Zang Ye smelled a trap; nine times out of ten it's connected to Naraku.

Led by Inuyasha, the group hurried along.

"That's right, it's here..." Inuyasha's expression was grave, because at the village entrance, quite a few villagers had already been killed.

Corpses lay, knelt, maintained fleeing postures, or reached out for help; without exception, all killed in one strike.

In the village, it was even more too horrible to look at; old people, children, women, men, corpses everywhere, blood had already gathered into streamlets, flowing into the river water.

"Truly heinous..." Kagome saw this purgatory-like scene, her face turning pale.

Even Shippo's legs were trembling.

Sango tightened her grip on Hiraikotsu, "It's truly too cruel. The mastermind behind this..."

"Absolutely cannot let him go!"

Miroku glanced at the surroundings, brow furrowing slightly.

"This village, massacred. The villagers' wounds are still fresh; it should have been not long ago. It's possible that guy who did this is still here, hiding in some place."

Inuyasha drew Tessaiga, looking at a house ahead, "Miroku, you're right."

"That guy, is still here..."

"The smell is exactly the same as that guy Naraku!"

Finishing speaking, Inuyasha rushed out, Tessaiga in hand slashing out, the house instantly split in two.

A figure shot out from inside, "Haha..."

"Inuyasha, your half-demon nose sure is sharp, to actually know I was hiding here..."

Appearing in the air was a blue-clothed samurai, his expression crazy like a pervert; he licked the huge scythe in his hand, the still-wet bloodstains staining his lips, adding a touch of evil Qi.

"It's this man... that huge scythe... is that the weapon that killed the villagers?" Kagome's face changed slightly; that scythe still had bloodstains that hadn't dried.

"This person, so dangerous..." Sango discovered this man holding the scythe had strong momentum.

No, not an ordinary person.

"Who are you? What's your relationship with that guy Naraku!!? Why kill the villagers here!!?" Inuyasha questioned loudly.

"Naraku!?"

"Don't mention him to me. Sooner or later, I'll kill him." Bringing up Naraku, Dora's face was full of anger.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm called Dora, Shinigami Dora!"

Dora revealed a ferocious grin, his expression manic, filled with intense aggression.

"As for why I want to kill them, of course it's... for fun!!"

Everyone was stunned, and immediately after, endless anger rose in their hearts.

Merely for fun, he slaughtered villagers like this.

【Detected sign-in target, Naraku's incarnation, Shinigami Dora! Sign in!?】

Zang Ye's face darkened. (Naraku's incarnation, so it's like this... events have already gone out of control. Naraku's incarnations are all guys I've never seen before...)

【Sign in!】

【Sign-in Success! Gain Weapon Bone Scythe.】

【Bone Scythe, collects souls, feeds back power to enhance the user. Drawback: affects the user's mind, turning them into a creature that knows only slaughter.】

Zang Ye raised his head and glanced at Dora, muttering, "No wonder this guy looks like a pervert. So it's because of this Bone Scythe."

At this moment, Dora's gaze turned to Zang Ye. "You Half-Demon, you're Zang Ye, right..."

"That guy Naraku told me you're way more troublesome than Inuyasha, that I need to be especially careful of you, especially that ability of yours to release lightning."

Zang Ye's expression changed slightly. He turned his head to look at Sango.

Sango looked bewildered. "Half-Demon..."

"Isn't Zang Ye a human?"

Kagome nodded. "That's right, Zang Ye is a Half-Demon. Because of some special reasons, he's always been in Maple Leaf Village."

"Oh, so that's how it is..."

Zang Ye extended his right hand. Lightning Strike Blade appeared in his hand. He said blandly, "Naraku investigated thoroughly to deal with us. He even told you this. Looks like he has high expectations for you."

"Heh..."

Dora grinned ferociously. "Your soul must be the most delicious."

"But, my target right now isn't you."

Zang Ye thought inwardly, bad feeling.

Suddenly, the ground rumbled. An earth wall rose, trapping Zang Ye inside, isolating him from Inuyasha and the others.
