The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

Slightly taken aback, the handsome young man then revealed a half-smile.

"I have long forgotten my name, but several hundred years ago someone called me 'Kidomaru'."

"If you wish, you may call me 'Kidomaru'."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhou felt even colder.

Unfortunately, Kidomaru did not show any obvious discomfort. Instead, he continued to stare at Daigo with great curiosity and asked.

“In my time, although there were exorcists and warriors, there was never anyone as ‘dazzling’ as you.”

"Like the embodiment of righteousness and light from all directions, you must be the strongest person of this era!"

Although it was a question, Kidomaru spoke with absolute certainty when he said the last sentence.

Because in Kidomaru's eyes, Daigo is not a human being at all, but an entity formed from infinite light.

That dazzling yet gentle light is something even a true Buddha descending to earth could not match.

"Whether it's the strongest or not is another matter..."

"All I want to know now is, can you spare those humans you control?"

Taking a deep breath, Daigo, who was already prepared for battle, asked in a low voice.

After being influenced by Lu Xuan for so long, Daigo has already developed some basic combat emotional intelligence.

At the very least, he didn't want to start a war with Kidomaru without figuring out his background.

"That won't do, they are all my hostages."

He grinned again, but this time his smile was filled with a twisted and arrogant meaning.

"Without them as my hostages, I would never have dared to face the strongest man of this era."

Kidomaru's approach was cowardly, but surprisingly effective.

Because it had already seen through Daigo's character, and knew that he would never risk harming innocent people to start a war with it.

"Then what are you doing here?"

Unable to help but frown, Daigo's ominous feeling surged up again.

If Kidomaru doesn't want to fight me, then why is he willing to expose himself and drive so many residents to force their way into the Kuzunoha family's house?

"I suppose the couple has already told you about my background."

After swaying his body slowly, Kidomaru let out a long sigh.

"But... have you ever considered how these mere mortals were able to seal me away?"

This was the "human sacrifice" process that the couple deliberately ignored, and it was also the question that Daigo didn't have time to ask.

"Although I am not very skilled, I was once the master of this 'White Fox Forest'."

"Even if the samurai have stripped them of their flesh and suppressed their resentment, they are still far beyond the capabilities of these unskilled mortals."

Before Daigo could press further, Kidomaru, with a sinister grin, revealed the final "truth."

"In order to keep me in check, these foolish mortals actually used their own flesh and blood to nourish another monster!"

"He is my other half, my other side..."

"That other half possesses power similar to mine, but it has obtained a 'medium' that I can only dream of!"

"It was with the blessing and help of the 'medium' that the other half was able to gain the upper hand time and time again, confining me to the area of ​​the 'White Fox Forest'."

His smile turned arrogant again, and Kidomaru's tone hardened at this moment.

"But I'm not some brainless idiot, so how could I be restricted by the same methods for hundreds of years?"

"That half-body can suppress me time and time again with the power of the medium, so how can I not use the power of the medium to fight back?"

Upon hearing this, Daigo immediately understood, and some of his previous doubts were resolved.

"Xena...is the medium you chose?"

When Daigo asked that question, he already had the answer in his heart.

"Yes, although that woman is not a virgin, she does have the potential to communicate with spirits, making her the perfect medium for me."

Without making any attempt to conceal his scheme, Kidomaru's voice deepened once more.

"Spiritual medium assistance, flesh and blood regeneration!"

"At that time, I will once again become the master of the 'White Fox Forest' and the strongest monster of this era!"

Chapter 208 Modern Onmyoji

"But you still failed in the end, didn't you?"

Daigo interrupted Kidomaru's fantasy directly, not forgetting whose body Kidomaru was currently in.

If the other party has truly succeeded in possessing Xue Na, then it's impossible for them to settle for using Officer Danno's body instead.

Although saying this is very disrespectful to the deceased.

Daigo knew very well that if Kidomaru had really been reborn through a medium, he and Rena would probably have been attacked as soon as they entered the town.

Instead of the present situation, where the other party was forced to stop him only after he came into contact with the Kuzuha family's parents and learned about Kidomaru's secrets.

"Yes! I failed!"

"Muttering through gritted teeth," Kidomaru said viciously.

"That fox sought death for hundreds of years, but at the last moment it chose to intervene in my struggle with my half-body."

Before Daigo could even ask who the "fox" was, Kidomaru suddenly changed the subject.

"Unfortunately, she never expected that although I lost a medium, I was about to gain a new one."

"This new medium is not only full of inspiration, but also a rare virgin in this era, making her perfectly suited to carry my will!"

Daigo's pupils contracted sharply as he finally realized the real purpose behind Kidomaru's long-winded chatter—the other party was stalling for time!

"Your goal... has always been Lina?!"

Given Lina's unusual behavior after entering the town, Daigo was unusually flustered.

He immediately turned around, wanting to catch up with Lina and the others.

As expected, Daigo's action drew an attack from Kidomaru.

hum!hum!hum!

Countless Gu worms suddenly spread their wings and flew out from Kidomaru's seven orifices.

Not to be outdone, Kidomaru also arrived in a flash, appearing behind Daigo like a ghost.

boom!

As soon as the punch landed, Daigo instinctively went to defend.

However, he discovered that Kidomaru's power far exceeded his expectations.

Fortunately, although Daigo's mind was disturbed, he was not one of those rookies who were new to the battlefield.

Having forced himself to calm down, Daigo finally stopped concealing his power. His powerful psychic energy converged from all directions, pressing down on Kidomaru like a mountain.

"this?!"

Completely unexpectedly, Daigo, who had previously demonstrated such formidable close-combat prowess, also possessed the abilities of a mage.

Kidomaru could only watch helplessly as the Gu worms were crushed to death by his psychic power, while he himself was firmly locked in mid-air.

boom!

He punched Kidomaru in the face with a backhand.

Kidomaru, who was being controlled, was sent flying by Daigo's punch.

In the blink of an eye, Daigo, who had inherited Lu Xuan's true teachings, once again lunged forward, his fists tightly enveloped by powerful psychic energy.

"drink!"

His eyes glared fiercely like a demon, and his body swelled up like a Vajra.

Forced into a corner, Kidomaru roared in defiance, transforming from a handsome young man into a ferocious demon.

Or rather, this is what Kidomaru truly looks like.

—A malevolent spirit that feeds on human flesh and drinks human blood, born from the resentment of living beings.

Its handsome appearance is merely a disguise; its true nature lies in its ruthless nature.

In order to be reborn, Kidomaru absolutely will not allow Daigo to interfere with his mission to capture a medium.

boom! boom! boom!

Fists and kicks, knees and elbows clashing...

The battle between Kidomaru and Daigo instantly reached a fever pitch, unleashing a terrifying destructive power unlike anything inhuman.

Moreover, Daigo has never forgotten his identity as a member of the GUTS team.

Whenever the distance between them increased, Daigo would draw his Hyper rifle and fire without hesitation.

The high-powered Hyper gun, combined with Daigo's agile movements, pierced through Kidomaru's body time and time again, revealing the countless ferocious and terrifying Gu worms inside.

Gun fighting, telekinesis, hand-to-hand combat...

Daigo, who perfectly integrates the three elements, fully demonstrates the terrifying nature of a dedicated combatant.

After all, Daigo didn't have the inexplicable arrogance that Lu Xuan had; he never considered himself a fighter or a martial arts master.

He wouldn't hesitate to use any technique that could kill the enemy, even low-level methods like kicking the groin or throwing sand.

Of course, Daigo's performance was impressive, but Kidomaru was no pushover either.

If pushed to the limit, Kidomaru would often force the residents he had parasitized to get back up.

Even with Daigo's incredibly powerful psychic abilities, it was impossible for him to keep an eye on the flying insects all the time.

Therefore, whenever a resident is infected by the parasitic worm, Daigo has to divert his energy to deal with the worm, giving Kidomaru a chance to catch his breath.

After this happened several times, Daigo was indeed forcibly dragged here by Kidomaru.

......................................................................................................

Meanwhile, on the other side.

After Lina, Onoda, and the Kuzuha couple escaped, their situation didn't improve much.

Because almost everyone they encountered along the way had been parasitized by Kidomaru's Gu worms.

The residents, oblivious and unaware like zombies, surrounded Lina and her companions, fully demonstrating what horror and terror truly meant.

The only saving grace was that, apart from Onoda, the other three people present were not ordinary people.

Lina goes without saying; as the ace pilot and sharpshooter of the GUTS team, even without using lethal force, every shot from the Hyper rifle accurately hits vital points.

Even if we don't completely defeat those zombie-like residents, we can at least restrict their movements to the greatest extent possible.

As for the Kuzuha family couple?

It was at this time that they showed a side of themselves that was different from ordinary people.

The husband held a talisman and chanted incantations, freezing the residents who had been knocked down by Lina in place, and then recited scriptures to expel the parasitic worms that were living inside them.

Although his wife did not have the ability to chant incantations or hold talismans, she was able to command shikigami to fight for her side.

Several fox-like and snake-like spirits appeared and disappeared near the four of them, always managing to protect them at crucial moments.

"These...are tube foxes?"

Staring in disbelief at the sudden burst of fighting power from the couple, Onoda was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

He never imagined that this seemingly ordinary couple were actually genuine Onmyoji (yin-yang masters).

Immediately afterward, a new question popped into Onoda's mind.

If the Kuzuha family is truly a family of Yin and Yang masters, then why did they so decisively choose to run away earlier?

Is it because there's some kind of boss-level character hidden among the puppets that Daigo is dealing with?
