Chapter 1:- The Beginning
After running a lot, the Hiroshi Zen-in took a bit of time to take a breath, but it was cut short with his wife Gojo Sheila in his arms, groaning in pain from giving birth to their child.
"There he is, the man who betrayed the clan by having an affair with the enemy clan," says the soldier who is running with a sword in his hand.
"Man, they are not even giving me a time to take a breath" as he quickly activates his cursed technique and summons a shikigami called Nue to attack them from afar.
He quickly uses a hand sign that represents a rabbit, and it emerges from the shadow with swiftness as he says
"Rabbit Escape."
He runs away and hides in a cave and gently puts his loved one on his shikigami called divine dog totality.
"If you had just used your technique earlier, we wouldn't have to run this far," says Gojo Sheila with a concerned expression.
"I couldn't activate my technique as I wanted you to give birth in this cave with no problems," says Hiroshi with a concerned voice.
"Oh! God, it hurts," as she continues to scream in pain, but Hiroshi quickly hears the footsteps of the soldiers coming near them.
"How did they pass through my shikigami so easily I would have known if they destroyed it?" says Hiroshi as he prepares for battle.
"No *aah* stay here, don't leave me; I can't handle the pain on my own; this is my first time doing this."
Hiroshi quickly makes a hand sign and chants the name "Madoka Deer."
"This will help you in childbirth. I know this is going to be hard on you with me not being with you, but I have to leave for the defence of this child."
As he quickly leaves the cave for the battle against soldiers to aid him, he quickly summons his strongest shikigami in his arsenal as he makes a hand sign and utters the name.
"Funeral Tiger," which quickly comes out of the shadow and starts attacking the soldiers one by one.
Hiroshi on the back gives orders to the Tiger on the battle field.
(This is weird; they know they don't have a chance against me because I have the ten shadows technique, so why are they facing head on.)
As he realizes too late that the plan was to lure out Hiroshi and take Sheila as bait for them to use it against him. He hears a scream inside the cave; without wasting time, he goes towards the cave, but it was too late as his shikigami perished along with Sheila. Who lost her life trying to protect his son?
"Oh! Man, I thought of taking her hostage by trying to attack the child, but she took the brunt of the attack directly," says the assassin.
"It's you! Even though you have zero cursed energy, you were alive due to the decision I made," shouts at the top of his lungs.
"I don't care if you helped me; I only listen to the greatest thing to mankind,'money.""
By making a binding vow, he quickly makes hand signs of the frog serpent, funeral tiger, and piercing ox to make
"Chimera Beast Otiga," which quickly emerges from the shadow and attacks the man with no cursed energy.
"Very well. I will show you my true power as a man with zero cursed energy," as he quickly takes a playfulcloud and starts attacking the beast.
Hiroshi quickly goes towards the baby and takes it into its own hands.
The crying baby stops crying after being held by his father, feeling protected.
Hiroshi quickly commands the chimera to attack him with its tail that quickly gets elongated and tries to stab with it, but the man easily dodges it. The man and the beast continuously go back and forth. But the man launches an attack against Hiroshi, and to protect the baby, he uses himself as a body shield and gets severely injured.
"The main weakness of a shikigami user is that they are weak in close quarters combat, am I right?"
"Well, you are absolutely right, but to mitigate that, I learned how to fight in the close quarters, but right now I have my baby child in my arms," says Hiroshi with a gloomy look.
Due to high-level damage induced to him, he couldn't maintain the otiga, and it disintagrates.
"Do you know how to have a shikigami? One must go through a ritual in order to tame them. At first you will receive two divine dogs as shikigami, and with them you need to tame the other shikigami. But no one tamed the last one."
(Is he using revelation binding vow to strengthen his cursed technique?)
"Of course you wouldn't have such secrets because you were born with no cursed energy." With a huge breath, he utters
"With this treasure I summon an eight-handled sword divergent sila divine general
Mahoraga"
Swiftly, the divine general emerges from the shadow and attacks Hiroshi within seconds. He gets attacked within seconds, and he takes the full brunt of it so it doesn't affect his child.
It starts going towards the man with no cursed energy.
(What the hell is that thing!?)
With an unbound speed, it attacks the man with a sword in his right arm, but the man swiftly blocks the strike, but just the force of it sends him flying towards a wall.
How is it so strong? Even if it is the last summon, it shouldn't differ in strength compared to that chimera beast.)
Not giving a time to rest, the shikigami starts attacking fiercely. He quickly blocks everything with a playful cloud and starts preparing for a counterattack.
(If it wasn't for the playful cloud that enhances my strike power, I would have lost like Hiroshi.)
He quickly starts running sideways with maximum speed to make it look like after-effects to make sure it can't see it properly in the end, causing it to rely on its skill to perceive it with cursed energy, but he doesn't have one.
It seems to work on it seamlessly as it starts rotating its head sideways to grasp his movements, and the man taking advantage of it gets heavy critical hits on him.
This plan is working. This is my perfect victory.)
But the advantage is quickly diluted when the divine general's wheel on its head spins.
(Wait! The wheel on its head just spun. (What does this mean?)
The answer he was looking for was quickly found when Hiroshi started speaking.
"The ability of the shikigami is to adapt to any and all phenomena. This can be known whether he adapted or not based on the spinning of his wheel."
"Your still alive?" asks the man.
"Of course I was chosen to be the clan head. Do you think I would be that weak? I am dying, but very slowly, and I perform RCT because of otiga."
"Then why did you take time to speak now?" says the man.
"Isn't this obvious? Of course I want to talk and look at my son in my dying moments."
"That is s-"
The conversation was cut short as Mahoraga pierces the man's chest with a maniac smile that seems that his blood thirst has been quenched.
"No wonder It got the name 'the smiling devil' for nothing; it feels like it smiles for killing." as he starts coughing blood immediately
"It seems this is it for me," as he dies slowly.
The shikigami, after mincing the man into pieces quickly disappears.
"Good thing he died quickly, or else I would have to fight that thing," says the general of the Zen-in army, appearing from the shadows.
By making a binding vow, he increases the strength of his cursed technique in exchange for its limited time.
"They say that if you ever encounter the divine general, instead of fighting it, you must go after the user to kill it, as it is a death flag fighting against it.
"Well, let us look at the little guy, due to which he had to summon that thing and present it to the higher-ups of the clan."
Catching the baby in a dangerous posture, he quickly realizes the thing he was holding.
"The son of the Zen-in and Gojo clan is a human born with the legendary
SIX EYES?!"
