Chapter 139 The Lord

Kasumi had succeeded in getting all 3 items, and so she separated from the other guild members and went to the last gate.

“Phew… What will happen now?”

There was no information out there yet.

Kasumi was the first person to enter the building.

“I’ll go and see what’s at the top.”

She went down the hallways and up the stairs that were illuminated by purple flames.

There were no rooms to enter, and she kept her guard up as she went up to the highest floor.

“Alright…there is…no one here.”

The only thing in sight at the top was tightly shut sliding doors.

If there was anything in this building, it would be beyond here.

Kasumi took in a deep breath and pushed the paper doors open.

Inside was a completely ordinary room with a tatami mat floor.

In the far back sat a single Yokai in a white skirt. He had white hair and two horns sprouted from his forehead.

He looked mostly like an Oni, but was quite different from the giant 4-meter tall Oni that they had instantly killed a short while ago.

From the information she gathered at the gate, Kasumi assumed that he was the lord of this place. And she watched his movements carefully.

“Oh…? I did not expect a human to come here.”

The Oni said as he stood up. Then he started to walk towards her.

He must have been 2-meters tall and had an overwhelming presence.

“Hmm, you have them. Then come with me.”

The Oni turned his back to her and returned to his spot, where he drew a circle on the ground and then disappeared.

“I guess I will.”

Kasumi braced herself and stepped into the circle. She arrived in a wilderness that resembled the place that they had killed the dragon. The Oni was standing a short distance away from her.

She looked around her but there wasn’t a single tree or boulder in sight.

“I was considering just stepping aside for you…but I changed my mind, human.”

“…”

“Defeat me. If you succeed, you will have my seat as lord.”

Kasumi had considered the possibility that she would have to fight, and so she unsheathed her blade without showing any surprise.

“Now, let’s do this, human.”

As soon as his voice reached Kasumi’s ears, a white light sparkled from the Oni’s right hand.

He was now holding a sword.

“Let’s!”

Kasumi was in combat mode now, and she dashed towards the Oni.

In spite of there still being a distance between them, the Oni swung his sword down.

Kasumi saw that the sword’s blade stretched out and reached her before she disappeared.

She had died because she had stopped for a second.
