Chapter 39 The Vampire's Journey to the Modern World
Unohana and Yoriichi stayed at the Tama family for the time being.
Before they settled down, and even before they left Soul Society.
Ryutangji Family.
The deaths of Ryudoji Takehiko and the elites he had transformed into demons dealt a heavy blow to the Ryudoji clan!
Ryudoji Takehiko's upper and lower body separated, and his upper body separated from his head. His head rolled several times on the ground before finally stopping.
The guards had all fallen unconscious. They couldn't withstand the impact of Ryudoji Takehiko's "demon transformation." Their minds were shaken, and they lost consciousness under the intense stimulation.
So no matter how noisy or chaotic the Ryudoji clan's residence is now, it is still relatively quiet in this courtyard.
The moonlight, like water, fell down and shone on the body of Ryudoji Takehiko.
Just then, a child sneaked in.
"Everyone stay still!"
The voices of samurai could be heard outside. Ryudoji Genryu knew that it must be the enemy nobles who had learned of their heavy losses and wanted to settle scores with them.
However, Ryudoji Genryu did not listen to them and instead found the body of Ryudoji Takehiko.
A burning glint flashed in his eyes.
Because he remembered very clearly that after Ryudoji Takehiko obtained the mysterious man's mask, it was fused onto his own face!
The moment he touched the mask, a strong ripple stirred within Ryudoji Genryu's heart.
That mask contains powerful energy; once obtained, it grants immortality!
Ryudoji Takehiko, who was seriously ill, has also recovered to his peak condition, no, he is even stronger than his peak condition!
Although he knew that his grandfather would likely never see the sun again because of this, it was still an irresistible temptation for him!
Especially now!
The Ryudoji clan is about to face a purge, and the five noble families will definitely not abandon them!
Either exterminate them or exile them!
He doesn't want to die!
Therefore, after finding Ryudoji Takehiko's head, he swallowed hard. Hearing the footsteps outside getting closer and the chaos outside intensifying, he suddenly reached out as if possessed.
His hand touched Ryudoji Takehiko's face, and with a sudden surge of anger, he actually plunged his hand directly into Ryudoji Takehiko's face!
Blood flowed out, but Ryudoji Genryu's face showed joy!
Because he touched it!
Inside Ryudoji Takehiko's face, he touched a hard, stone mask!
He'd felt that sensation before! He'd touched it before!
You can't go wrong!
This is the stone demon mask!
"It's mine...it's mine!" he hissed, as if possessed!
With his fingers like hooks, he forcefully pried the pale mask, stained with bits of flesh and blood, off his grandfather's face!
He showed absolutely no respect for his grandfather! Or perhaps he had been completely misled by the mask!
After the mask was dug out, its edges were still stained with scarlet tissue fluid, reflecting an eerie light under the moonlight!
then……
He simply put it on his face!
"what!"
A sharp pain shot through him. He could feel the sharp spikes protruding from the stone mask and piercing his face. Ryudoji Takehiko had experienced the same pain before.
Just like before, the mask that once granted Ryudoji Takehiko vampire powers has now been incorporated into Ryudoji Genryu's face!
In an instant, Ryudoji Genryu felt a powerful force surge into his body, along with a consciousness.
"Um?"
A voice, both strange and familiar, echoed in his mind: "A descendant of Ryudoji Takehiko?"
"It's...it's you."
Ryudoji Genryu recognized the voice; it belonged to the owner of the mask, the mysterious man who had given it to the Ryudoji family!
"It seems that the Ryudoji clan still has a reason to exist."
Muzan said calmly, "Kid, do you want to live?"
"Of course I want to! I wear the mask so I can survive!"
"In that case, let's go to the mortal world."
The present world?
Upon hearing these two words, Ryudoji Genryu was somewhat stunned.
After all, no matter what, they are now just souls, only suitable for living in an environment with a high concentration of spiritual particles like Soul Society.
The concentration of spiritual particles in the present world is too low to be suitable for the long-term survival of spirits.
"You are no longer just a soul, but a demon, a demon that obeys my commands."
Muzan's voice was cold and captivating, causing Ryudoji Genryu to unconsciously submit.
"There are countless souls in this world. There is no Yoriichi Tsugikuni, nor is there the Seireitei. As long as you don't go too far, no one will find you."
These words stirred something within Ryudoji Genryu.
Yes, even if I have gained great power now, so what?
Wasn't Ryudoji Takehiko also killed by the enemy?
Even if he stays in the Pure Spirit Court, he will still be judged by the five noble families!
Therefore, I should escape to the real world now!
In the mortal world, as long as one hides well enough, the Soul Society will not be able to discover one's existence.
He could secretly devour souls, and although the quality would be slightly lower, he could still gain great power after hundreds or thousands of years!
"I see!"
Ryudoji Genryu immediately replied, "I'll go to the mortal world right now!"
He had planned to use the Ryudoji family's portal to reach the real world, but then he realized that their portal must have been sealed by now, and the five noble families wouldn't let them escape.
At the critical moment, his body froze, and a terrifying will took control of his body.
The next moment, the space around him was like a painting splashed with thick oil paint, the colors becoming exceptionally vivid and deep!
Then the deep space began to rotate unnaturally, along with the nearby walls, floor, moonlight, bloodstains...
Everything lost its original form in the distorted colors, and finally collapsed and spun in front of him into a colorful vortex passage that kept absorbing light inward!
"Go forth, right here in this world, and create the Moon Cult for demons!"
Muzan then transmitted his will to Ryudoji Genryu, who, before he could even think, was completely swallowed by the thick, colorful vortex and vanished under the moonlight of Soul Society!
A few breaths later.
"Bang!"
The courtyard gate was kicked open violently, and flames and the cold glint of weapons rushed in!
"Take control of all areas! Kill any who resist!"
The sounds from the outside world grew closer. At that moment, the nobles' samurai successfully broke through the Ryudoji family's guards and stormed in, quickly taking control of the remaining Ryudoji clan members. Instantly, cries, shouts, and the sounds of clashing swords filled the air.
