Episode 106
Orochi (1)
As soon as Jeong-do completely broke the seal inside the cave, the strange events began.
Hehehehe.
The entire Mount Fuji began to tremble.
It was such a violent tremor that people who did not know the circumstances would have thought that volcanic activity was occurring on Mount Fuji. And in fact, what is happening on Mt. Fuji now is a catastrophe on par with volcanic activity.
“The scale is no joke.”
After getting out of the cave, I looked at the top of Mt. Fuji with a slightly tired expression. The vibration was starting from there. As expected from the rumbling of the ground, Orochi seemed to be a monster bigger than the Bulsai.
And the real thing could be confirmed right away.
Quang!
Near the summit of Mt. Fuji, the ground split open and a huge snake with eight heads appeared. According to the mythology, the length of one neck was like a valley, but it was not that ignorant and was a little bigger than a bulgur.
Still, since each head seemed to be about 5 meters long, it was definitely a monster that the human body could not handle.
[After thousands of years, you have finally been released from the seal! Susanoo, you bastard! How dare you deceive me? I’ll chew you up and swallow you up!]
Susanoo.
He is a Japanese god who is said to have sealed Orochi in mythology. He must have forgotten his resentment after being sealed for thousands of years, and Orochi spewed out his resentment as soon as he came out of the seal. Orochi vomited poisonous smoke with a strong pier, and the trees and grass around Orochi began to dry up.
‘This guy seems to be intelligent.’
While Bulgari only had primal emotions such as the desire for metal or anger towards the humans who sealed it, Orochi clearly had reason. Even though that reason was swallowed up by anger. Orochi vented his anger towards Susanoo for a moment, then looked around him and became embarrassed. He discovered the barrier surrounding Mt. Fuji. Orochi swung his tail with all his might and struck the barrier, but the barrier held firm.
[what. Is this also Susanoo’s work? However, I can’t feel his energy at all.]
Orochi’s eight heads began licking their tongues. Just as real snakes detect smells and sounds with their tongues, Orochi was also able to detect many things with its tongue.
I detected the structure of the mana flowing through the barrier and found out whose control this barrier was under.
[human? Can a mere creature practice such advanced techniques?]
Orochi’s sixteen eyes looked at him at the same time. And then he started flicking his tongue towards Jeongdo, and with that, Shuna’s blessing hanging around Jeongdo’s neck sparkled.
<Yamata no Orochi used a detection skill on the target. Gesuna’s protection completely blocks detection technologies below myth level.>
<Blocking was successful. Yamata no Orochi’s skill has been invalidated.>
[Mimul. You’re carrying a lot of stuff that’s overflowing the fountain.]
Orochi seemed displeased with his skill being blocked and glared at him with cold eyes typical of a reptile. However, he soon realized that Jeong-do had unlocked him, and his attitude softened somewhat.
[Right. Mimul. Have you unsealed me? It would not have been easy to unseal Susanoo, but it is an amazing task.]
Orochi moved his huge body and began to approach Jeongdo. Each time, numerous natural terrains were destroyed and dissolved into poison. It was a terrible sight, but Jeong-do did not blink. Orochi, who had already come a short distance away, spoke to Jeongdo.
[Do one more thing for me. Take down this barrier. If you do that, I will make you the king of this land.]
“…what do you plan on doing out here?”
[That’s a rude tone. Mimul. But please forgive me. I feel very good today. There’s nothing that can’t accept a little trick. Did you ask what you plan to do? Isn’t that obvious?]
Orochi smiled as if he was having fun just thinking about it and started spewing out curses.
[I will kill all of Izanagi and Izanami’s creatures! Chew it, swallow it, crush it, and release the poison! Then that abominable Susanoo will also appear in front of me with his heavy ass. This time, I will defeat him and become a god!]
Izanagi and Izanami.
He is the god of creation who is said to have created Japan. The term “their creatures” refers to the approximately 100 million people living in Japan. Orochi intended to devastate Japan.
[ruler. Hurry and take down that barrier. Then you will get what you want.]
“It’s what you want. “It definitely exists.”
[okay. Mimul. Since ancient times, you little creatures have harbored desires that are excessive compared to their small bodies. That always led to your destruction. But you are lucky. I have the power to achieve everything. I will be your god! Tell me what you want!]
“Your damn Naedan.”
[…] what?]
“Otherwise, bones and scales are good materials. Since it is a snake, it must have venom glands. “I have nothing to throw away.”
[…] … .]
Orochi was blank at first because he didn’t understand what he was saying, but then he slowly became angry.
[Mimul. Do you fully understand what you said? This is the last question, so answer carefully.]
“I will beat you up. “I said so.”
[…] okay. I was foolish to show mercy to a small creature. I will chew you up and swallow you up and get out of here on my own! Pay dearly for daring to challenge God with the body of a tiny creature!]
“My only god is Lady Luck, you snake-headed bastard!”
With those words, Jeongdo and Orochi rushed towards each other.
* * * * * *
Quang!
Jeongdo narrowly avoided the head of a dog rushing towards him and hit its head with his great sword. Fortunately, Orochi’s outer shell was not as hard as that of the Bulgari, so a moderate attack was able to cause damage to Orochi.
[Pfft! this guy!]
‘It’s more worth doing than you think!’
When I first encountered Bulgari, I had a strong feeling that it would be difficult to beat, but I thought it was worth fighting against Orochi.
Because Bulgari is stronger than Orochi?
That wasn’t it. Judging objectively, Orochi was a great youkai of a higher rank than Bulsai.
‘The increase in status is a big deal.’
Jeong-do has once again broken through his limits by successfully defeating Bulsai. That very difference prevented Orochi from being one-sidedly pushed back when dealing with him. Jeongdo dodged Orochi’s attack and struck Orochi’s body again.
Orochi became intoxicated and began to emit poisonous smoke. The image of Dokdo melting the topography of the mountain came to mind and I quickly left the spot, but was only slightly brushed by it.
Chi profit.
The gaiter on my right leg that was grazed began to melt. Although it didn’t exactly touch his skin, Orochi said that the battle was over.
[That’s it, you small-mouthed idiot. Dissolve into a handful of blood and disappear.]
Orochi naturally thought so. His own poison is a deadly poison that even the god Susanoo feared and avoided. He was not at a level that a mere human could endure.
however.
<<Unsinkable Poison> makes you completely immune to poisons below myth level.>
The skill <Multiple Poison Immortal>, which Jeong Do obtained from Jeong Yak-yong, blocked Orochi’s poison.
“ok?”

[no?!]
Not only Orochi, but even Jeongdo was surprised. Orochi must be a monster from the mythical era, but does it completely block poison? Jeongdo used observation towards Orochi.
<Yamata no Orochi>
<Level: 299>
Level 299. It was the same as the black level limit. In other words, it did not reach the level of myth.
The reason why the battle with Orochi was worth it was because it broke the limit, but it was also because Orochi was weakened during the long period of sealing. It was the exact opposite of the situation.
The shock Orochi received could not even be compared to the shock Jeongdo received. Orochi was relieved for a moment when he realized that his poison was not working. Jeong-do did not miss the opportunity. Jeong Do stamped his feet in his place, filled with mana.
thud!
Whirly!
At the same time as the clouds rising, countless chains buried in the ground rose into the sky. And the chains flew towards Orochi and began to wrap around him.
[How dare you do something stupid!]
The reason why Jeong-do did not avoid this situation even though Orochi was approaching him. This was because a trap was set up here yesterday with Jeong Yak-yong loaded. The trap, which was infused with the essence of the best technicians of the late Joseon Dynasty, succeeded in restraining the movements of the Great Yokai, even if only for a moment.
Orochi struggled to break the chains, but he was a little faster.
Jeongdo leapt with all his might towards one of Orochi’s heads. And the form of King Panacea’s weapon was changed.
<The King of All Diseases has perfectly recreated the ancient weapon.>
<Dragon Slayer Sword Balmung. Detects the opponent’s weak hemorrhage. All abilities are doubled.>
Sigh!
[Woo Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Balmung pierced the top of one of Orochi’s heads. Orochi struggled violently and his chains swayed as if they might break at any moment, but they did not break, just in the nick of time. Jeongdo tightly grabbed the Balmung stuck on the top of Orochi’s head and started running towards Orochi’s body.
Left alone!
The balmung went over Orochi’s head and began to cut into his back, like a scalpel cutting through flesh.
‘It goes to the heart like this!’
As always with legends of many-headed monsters, one head was not enough to cause death. In fact, it was unknown whether the person would die or not even if the heart was destroyed, but it would still cause great damage. Jeongdo arrived at Orochi’s body in an instant and swung his Balmung towards Orochi’s body.
However, just before the sword touched Orochi’s body, an intense light erupted from Orochi’s body.
“this?!”
Jeongdo let out a sigh of confusion when he realized that the sword he had swung had split the air. Surprisingly, after the light disappeared, Orochi was not a monster with eight heads on one body, but was separated into eight snakes with each body. One of the snakes was hanging limply because Jeongdo had pierced its head, and the remaining seven snakes rushed towards Jeongdo.
Quagwagwang!
Jeongdo frantically received attacks coming from all directions. His attacks continued so fiercely that he would have been hit if his abilities had not increased due to Balmung. Jeongdo swung Balmung wide in his direction, creating a momentary gap, and then was barely able to escape from the pincer attack.
[You’re very quick on the topic of trivial things. However, from now on there will be no luck.]
As Orochi said this, he radiated light again and merged his separate bodies into one. And surprisingly, even the head that had been pierced came back to life. Orochi spoke to Jeongdo with a harsh, murderous tone.
[Cr. Because it has been sealed for a long time, it is suffering this humiliation from a mere creature. bloke. Let go of the thought of dying in peace.]
‘Is this what weakened me because of the seal?’
And what’s even scarier is that you can feel Orochi becoming more and more powerful. It seemed like the power lost due to the seal was gradually being recovered as the seal was released.
‘Tsk. I thought it was somehow easy.’
It seems that in order to defeat Orochi, as in the myth, you need to cut off all the heads and tails before they regenerate, or be powerful enough to blow them away with one blow.
‘In the end, it’s drawn again.’
This time, I thought I would be able to do it on my own, but in the end, I was overconfident.
Should I use a white ticket? no. It’s not too late to use it after failing to draw. The extent was loaded wired from the album. And I activated the <Lucky Rental> skill, which has now become commonplace.
<You have paid the maximum status. A lucky star has its eyes on you.>
And then we started <Location Draw>.
‘Please White!’
A business card was spread over Jeong Do’s head, and soon a business card fell on top of his head.
Unfortunately, the wish aimed at White did not come true. But it wasn’t a complete failure either.
Black business card.
A business card that could be considered a big hit was selected. The black business card was absorbed into his forehead, and soon a voice was heard in his head.
<Yamata no Orochi. I never thought that a monster from the mythical era would be revived. We will eradicate it as soon as possible. That’s our Onmyoji’s duty.>
Jeong Do opened the status window, feeling a neutral voice echoing in his head.
<Name: Jinjeongdo (Load: Abeno Seimei (安倍 晴明).>
Onmyoji.
People who make it their business to exorcise ghosts and seal away monsters.
The greatest exorcist, said to be the pinnacle of the Onmyoji, has descended.
Jeong Do’s panacea changed into the form of a fan, and Jeong Do lightly swung the fan.
Then, feet sprouted from the surrounding trees and began to move with will.
Food spirit.
They were ghosts that could be said to be the limbs of the Onmyoji Temple.
[this guy! Was this an onmyoji who would tear you to death!]
Orochi howled fiercely and rushed at the surrounding shikigami.
The strongest youkai in Japanese history.
And the strongest onmyoji in Japanese history transcended time and began to fight on Mt. Fuji.
