The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1125: Heterogeneous? Homogeneous? (2)
3000!
After reaching 3000 in satiety, further enhance [War Pattern. Prus. Griffin. Shadow-hidden Body Forging Technique]!
Of course, Jason also had another consideration.
[Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Technique]!
Can the core inheritance of Tongshou Temple be integrated into [War Pattern. Prus. Griffin. Shadow-hidden Body Forging Technique]?
Jason has always tried this experiment.
However, previously with slightly less satiety, he was unable to fully demonstrate his ’Talent’.
Now?
It should be enough.
However, that’s a matter for later.
Now?
His gaze shifted towards the nearby bushes.
Inside the gathering place of the Uesugi family, not only is the original old style preserved, but many bamboos, pine trees, and some vine plants are also planted.
These plants are distributed along both sides of the road or at street corners.
Arranged in a special way, they appear misaligned but orderly.
Clearly, such planting was carefully arranged.
Under such an arrangement, when two groups of people passed by different paths, even if they were 4-5 meters apart, unless they made louder noises, they absolutely couldn’t see each other.
But, that’s only for ordinary people.
For Jason.
Strong, almost nine times stronger than normal people’s perception allowed him to clearly sense the people around him.
Not to mention when someone was staring at him with fervent eyes.
Jason looked towards a pine and bamboo grove on one side.
The other party didn’t hide at all, and just came out openly.
Dressed in a white Swordsman outfit, revealing a tall figure, black hair tied up in a high ponytail, held together by a pure gold hair band, making her look very capable.
But her fox-like eyes added a charm to her capable appearance.
Her high and firm nose added a heroic touch to the charm.
Such a contradictory temperament perfectly appeared on a woman.
Making her already beautiful face even more eye-catching.
Jason was no exception.
However, different from what normal men would notice, Jason was looking at her hands.
Those hands were fair, slender.
With an extraordinary flavor.
Delicious food!
Jason squinted his eyes.
The woman, seeing where Jason’s gaze was, not only wasn’t offended but rather smiled.
"Do you feel them?"
The woman asked Jason.
"Yeah."
Jason nodded without hesitation.
The flavor of the food, he could confirm.
Such a nod made the woman’s smile even brighter.
Even having a kind of unusual sweetness.
"Do you eat swords?"
The woman asked in this manner.
"No."
"That’s ’Purification’."
Jason said succinctly.
It must have been seen, most likely when a strong food aroma emerged from the ancestral home, creating a ’laxity’ in perception during his fight against hunger.
Jason had anticipated this.
Although he was no longer his original self, and he wasn’t so blindly submissive to ’hunger’ anymore.
But not being able to control it 100% could lead to problems.
So, Jason had prepared early on.
"It originated from an obscure method of exorcists from overseas."
Jason emphasized overseas and obscure.
The ’Inside World’ and ’Mystical Side’ of the island are quite isolated.
For most of the mystical side figures overseas, they just know about it.
Understand?
Maybe understand a little.
But definitely not too much.
Even if they understand quite well, what Jason emphasized as ’obscure’ was meant to address this point.
However, the woman just smiled and shook her head.
"How does the taste of the sword compare?"
The woman didn’t press further on other matters but instead inquired about the flavor of the ’Renowned Blades’.
This made Jason frown, who was prepared with follow-up explanations.
Why isn’t she playing by the usual rules?
Shouldn’t she be asking what method he used?
Why is she asking about the flavor?
"It’s ’Purification’!"
Jason emphasized again.
"What does the flavor taste like?"
The woman asked again.
Moreover, this time, after she finished speaking, she asked Jason in an increasingly serious tone, "Are you justifying the flavor you tasted with such evasive words? Are you justifying those ’foods’?"
"Or say..."
"Can you use ’food’ as a vow to tell me it’s ’Purification’?"
Pressing question!
Jason was at a loss for words.
If it’s something else, Jason doesn’t mind lying.
For Jason, who lives in the Nightless City, such lies are really commonplace.
It simply comes naturally.
But when it comes to using ’food’ as an excuse...
He cannot bring himself to speak.
It’s a fact that he cannot utter after taking a stand.
Everyone has their own principles.
Some are about responsibility, some about justice in their hearts.
Others are simply about ’love’ for family and friends.
But Jason is different.
His is a ’love’ for ’food’.
It’s a kind of love that comes from the bottom of his heart.
Facing this love,
Jason cannot ignore it.
Nor can he disguise it with lies.
Not to mention using it as an excuse.
If he really did that, it would be an insult to ’food’.
Huh!
Jason took a deep breath, looked at the woman in front of him, and finally said—
"Delicious."
He said it word by word.
The woman smiled, her eyes curving like crescent moons.
Then, the woman raised her hand.
Two ’Renowned Blades’ appeared in her hands.
Jason instantly became alert.
But the next moment, it was unexpected.
The woman just tossed one of the blades to Jason.
Jason didn’t catch it but let it fall to the ground.
He also stepped back.
He worried it was the opponent’s special attack mode, or simply a trap.
But when the ’Renowned Blades’ fell to the ground, nothing happened at all.
Jason looked at the woman, puzzled.
"My treat."
The woman said while drawing the ’Renowned Blade’ in her hands and started chewing it extensively with her mouth.
This scene stunned Jason.
Aside from him, there were other people who eat blades?
Jason’s dumbfounded expression greatly pleased Kusakabe Rei.
Because when she saw Jason consuming blades unintentionally, her expression and thoughts were the same.
Aside from her, there were other people who eat blades?
Kusakabe Rei is a taboo within the Kusakabe family.
Not just because of her defiance, but also because of the forbidden art she practiced.
’Sword Devouring Art’!
A secret technique of devouring ’Renowned Blades’ to gain strength.
This is an extremely terrifying technique.
It requires immense talent, a will strong as steel, and a considerable amount of time.
Especially talent!
It’s truly one in a million!
From the Warring States period until now, in the recorded history of the Kusakabe Family, besides the original creator, only Kusakabe Rei has mastered the ’Sword Devouring Art’.
Without a doubt, the ’Sword Devouring Art’ has given Kusakabe Rei tremendous power.
So much so, that it can truly be described as terrifying.
But such power also made her an outlier.
Not human.
Not demon or monster.
Not ghost or ghoul. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Not Shikigami.
Completely a different kind.
The family-outcast Kusakabe Rei had spent a long time searching for her kind.
Because she firmly believed she was not alone.
But ultimately, she was disappointed.
She was alone.
She tried every method to no avail.
Even, she searched for people with great talents to study the ’Sword Devouring Art’ together.
Not one was successful.
Even those true swordsmen exploded and perished.
So when she unexpectedly saw Jason consuming ’Renowned Blades’.
She was stunned.
Already completely disappointed, she suddenly saw hope, like spotting a light when looking up from the abyss.
Instantly, she changed her plans.
After dumping the four knocked out, Amakasu, Usami, Naoe, and leaving the other two infiltrators after quickly dealing with them, she took the opponent’s ’Renowned Blades’ and went to find Jason.
She saw a kindred spirit.
She wanted to witness it with her own eyes.
She wanted to ascertain that what she saw was real.
Therefore, after chewing the ’Renowned Blades’, she looked at Jason unwaveringly and said—
"Please!"
