As soon as the three words "Evil Road King" were spoken, even the younger generation of monsters who had not figured out who it was before suddenly changed their expressions.

There is no way, in their world of monsters, the name of 'Evil Road King' is too loud.

That is a great monster as famous as the golden-haired, jade-faced Nine-tailed Fox (Tamazo Mae), the Daitengu, and Shuten Doji.

Their Hyakuki Empire is not the only force in the world of monsters. However, the appearance of the Oni King Shuten Doji, coupled with the response of Tamamo Mae and the Tengu clan, allowed them to gather most of the monsters and create the Hyakuki Empire.

, has become the largest force in the world of monsters.

But this does not mean that other forces do not exist.

Take for example the ‘Evil Road King’ in front of you!

‘Evil Road King’ is not the opponent’s name, but a title. In addition, many monsters also call him ‘Lord of Suzuka Mountain’, and his real name is Otakemaru!

Regarding the question of how strong Otake Maru is...

To put it simply, the Oni King Shuten Doji once had a huge fight with Otakemaru on Mount Suzuka.

The result of that battle was a draw.

However, in that battle, both sides actually had concerns and did not go all out in a true sense.

And since the battlefield was at Suzuka Mountain, at first glance, it seemed that Otakemaru would have an advantage on its own territory, but in fact this was not the case, and it could even be said to be the opposite.

It was precisely because the place where they fought was at Mount Suzuka that Otakemaru couldn't go all out.

After all, as a Daiyou level monster, if he goes all out, his Mount Suzuka will probably be razed to the ground.

As for Shuten Doji, the reason is equally simple.

On someone else's territory, he has to leave some room for himself and retreat unscathed if necessary, right?

Otherwise, with all his strength, if he and Otakemaru were both defeated, and then other monsters from Suzuka Mountain attacked him, he would be dead.

But even without using all his strength, Shuten Doji is still extremely powerful. He was unable to defeat Otakemaru and take him under his command, which is enough to prove how strong Otakemaru is.

At the same time, Shuten Doji, who had gone through that battle at that time, also realized that Otakemaru, as the overlord of one side, would never succumb to other monsters.

Under this premise, Suzuka Mountain is far away overseas, and it is also affected by the demonic power of Otake Maru, resulting in storms and whirlpools all over the outside of Suzuka Mountain. If they want to send troops to attack, the Hyakki Empire will probably have to pay a heavy price.

Therefore, after internal discussions, the Hyakki led by Shuten Douji temporarily gave up the idea and allowed Suzuka Mountain to become a youkai force independent of their Hyakki Empire.

There is nothing to say about what happened after that.

Because of Onikiri's appearance, Shuten Doji fell into a long slumber. The Hyakki Empire was leaderless and was once reduced to a piece of loose sand.

To be honest, it was Tamamo Mae, who was seeking power and usurping the throne, who stabilized the foundation of the Hyakki Empire at that turbulent moment and prevented it from collapsing.

During this period, although Mount Suzuka was far away overseas, the news about Otakemaru was not so unclear, so he knew about Shuten Doji.

But he did not take action against the Hyakki Empire just because Shuten Doji fell into a deep sleep. In other words, Otakemaru had no intention of doing so.

What he values ​​​​is his family's ancestral heritage in Suzuka Mountain, and he actually has little interest in other people's heritage.

This is also the biggest reason why he, as a great demon of a generation, has strong strength, but has been guarding Suzuka Mountain for so many years.

And besides that, for Shuten Doji who had a fight with him.

Although neither of them said anything at that time, there was a feeling of hero cherishing the hero in their hearts.

When Otakemaru learned that Shuten Doji fell into a deep sleep and his life or death was uncertain, he was really melancholy for a while.

Now that I'm here, I'm naturally not looking for trouble.

In fact, Tarobo had already realized why Otakemaru came. What he was unhappy about was just the pomp put on by the other party.

"Okay, Tarangfang, I invited King Evil Road here."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar on the scene.

No matter whether their Oni King Shuten Doji and Otakemaru were heroes or not, on the surface, the relationship between Suzuka Mountain and their Hyakki Empire was not friendly.

Under this premise, Tamamo-mae actually invited Evil King to the Oni King Palace? What does this mean?

This time, before all the demons present could think too much, Tamamo Mae himself had already given the answer.

"The reason why I invited Evil Road King and everyone here to attend the meeting is actually very simple. That is, after many years, 'Onikiri' has appeared again!"

After saying this, even Tamamo-mae, who had always been calm and composed, looked obviously solemn in his face and tone.

And speaking out this information was like dropping a bombshell on a calm lake.

In an instant, the hundreds of ghosts gathered outside the Ghost King's Palace completely exploded.

During this process, only Otakemaru and Tarobo's expressions did not change much.

Obviously, as big monsters with respected status and powerful strength in the world of monsters, Tarobo who lives in seclusion in the Three Mountains of Yuka and Otakemaru who has been stationed in Suzuka Mountain all year round came out this time precisely because Tamamo-mae told them this information in advance.

!

The reason why Tarobo was able to accept Otakemaru's arrival was precisely because of the existence of 'Onikiri'.

As a great demon who has witnessed the power of "Onikiri" with his own eyes, Tarobo is definitely one of the monsters who knows the extent of the threat "Onikiri" poses.

With the Oni King Shuten Doji falling into a deep sleep and still not waking up, facing the threat from the 'Onikiri', their Hyakki want to protect themselves, and the Otakemaru is undoubtedly a very important fighting force.

Compared to Tarobo, who had so many things on his mind, Otakemaru's thoughts were much simpler.

He simply wanted to see how strong the 'Onikiri' was who had severely injured Shuten Doji and fell into a deep sleep!

Anyway, he is not in Suzuka Mountain now. When the time comes to fight that 'Onikiri', he will be able to attack with all his strength without restraint.

If he can successfully kill 'Onikiri', wouldn't that fully prove his strength and actually be superior to Shuten Douji?!
