"Because of the legend that Ito Okami eventually plunged into the sea, people enshrined this stone statue in the shrine."
"In other words, a 'dummy' has replaced the original owner, and when the dummy is destroyed, our wild boar can go home."
As they spoke, the paper figures threw the stone statue directly to the ground, shattering it into pieces.
In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire shrine changed.
The stone statue, which had been worshipped for a long time and then abandoned for a long time, was smashed into pieces on the ground. An indescribable sense of oppression permeated the rain and slowly spread.
The spreading momentum stirred up the sirens of the police cars; they still didn't approach the shrine, but they still sounded their sirens.
"Ugh——"
Something started responding to the alarm.
Two angry roars came from the distant shore, piercing the rain and eerily reaching the mountains.
"Squeak!!!"
“Wuhu!!!”
Upon hearing this voice, Priest Ito's expression changed.
The first one seems to be the sound of a wild boar, which is normal, since Ito Okami is a wild boar.
But what about the next one... what is the next one?
Chapter 117 The Great God of the White Bone Boar
On the beach, a black cloud envelops a black and pink Fall Guy, as they battle a gigantic monster.
The tough seaweed crackled and popped, like sharp-edged whips, cutting the heavy, wet sand into messy pieces.
Dou Tang squeezed in, his feet lightly touching the ground, and the seaweed couldn't even touch his ankles, eliminating any possibility of them controlling him.
His fists roared like dragons, each punch, palm strike, hand strike, and elbow strike deadly. The rain was shattered by the force of his attacks, swirling around him like a hazy armor of water.
Besides puddles and cut marks, the beach was covered with countless pieces of seaweed.
The seaweed on Ito Oogami's body was not infinite. The bones twisted and turned, crushing a lot of the seaweed. It didn't look like a single monster, but rather like some kind of extremely twisted and entangled state.
"Wuhu..."
The Fall Guy took a deep breath and looked at the monster in front of him.
The seaweed and bones seemed to move differently, but rather in a strange struggle.
Fall Guy seized the opportunity, stomped heavily on the ground, and the indigo light trailed in the rainy night. Every muscle in his strong body pulsated. When he got close, he steadied himself in a horse stance, his whole body exploding with energy, and he unleashed a palm strike.
"Oh!"
The visible air mass exploded with a roar, forming a waterless air mass in the air, and then suddenly deflated from the other end. This palm strike landed solidly on the largest clump of seaweed, shattering it.
There, the bones that had been tightly bound regained their freedom, making cracking sounds as the two joints came together.
Although these seaweeds are controlled by the Great God Ito, they are also hindering the assembly of its skeleton.
The seaweed continued to shoot towards them. Dou Tang retreated, lightly touching the ground with his feet, while simultaneously spinning to dodge the seaweed's attack, thus creating distance once again.
He assumed a proper stance and keenly observed the body of Ito Okami.
Although Ito Oogami is said to be a wild boar, its appearance is indeed too bizarre. All of its original animal bones are wrapped in seaweed, and it makes strange collision sounds as it moves. Each piece of seaweed is also cut up by these collisions and frictions.
What would happen if we removed these seaweeds?
Dou Tang opened his senses and could still feel the aura on Ito Okami that was completely different from the resentment. That meant that the being in front of him was different from the Blue Demon, or at least not a simple evil spirit.
Come to think of it, this guy is a god in the legends of Kamogawa City.
Why not give it a try?
Dou Tang became interested. In his mind, it would be really interesting if getting rid of the seaweed could get him an Ito-sama in the shape of a wild boar.
Imagine wrestling with a gigantic, evil boar that was once called a god.
That would be... such a wonderful thing?
If you think of it, do it!
Dou Tang charged forward, throwing both fists at once, and began attacking Ito Oogami amidst the occasional shrill roars around him.
The attack became swift and restrained, each strike hitting the seaweed precisely, causing the seaweed to emit a somewhat pungent, fishy odor.
"Crackling crackling crackling..."
With his fists dancing like afterimages and his swaying indigo eyes, the muscular Fall Guy transformed into a fleeting shadow, constantly swirling around Ito Oogami.
Immersed in the attack, he was completely unaware of the two people who appeared on the shore behind him.
Following the eerie clanging sound of fists, Huaiyin and Kume Chinatsu arrived at the seaside. Standing by the roadside and looking out at the hazy, dark beach, they discovered a figure trailing indigo light, relentlessly attacking a huge monster.
Chinatsu Kume quickly grabbed Ayane. Because the rain was too heavy, the actual situation on the beach could not be seen at all, so Chinatsu Kume did not recognize that it was Fall Guy.
But she was also certain in her heart that those actions were not something an ordinary person could do, so she did not realize with suspicion that it was Dou Tang.
She simply thought that, just like a few days ago, she had stumbled into a battle with monsters.
Having been in the rain for ten minutes, Kume Chinatsu was soaked to the bone, but she still stubbornly held onto Ayane's hand.
"Huaiyin, are you sure Kiryu-kun is at the beach? But there are only monsters there!"
What a coincidence...
Huaiyin naturally guessed that the figure on the beach was Doutang, but the situation was just too awkward!
"I must have remembered wrong... Brother shouldn't be at the beach, and besides... that thing looks really scary! Kume-neechan, let's go quickly!"
She made a scared face and tugged at Kume Chinatsu's sleeve.
"But, but where could Kiryu-kun have gone?" Kume Chinatsu Ai flicked her wet hair, looking somewhat disheveled and haggard. This made Huaiyin even more puzzled. Why would she risk getting herself wet to hurry out and find Tou-tang?
"Kume-neechan, you can't stand in the rain like this! Let's go back, okay? Maybe brother is already back waiting for us!" Huaiyin said quickly, pulling Kume Chinatsu along as they tried to walk back.
Chinatsu Kume frowned and looked towards the beach.
The tall figure on the beach suddenly assumed a horse stance, crossed his arms in front of him, and then suddenly broke free. The rain curtain around him paused for a moment at that instant.
Huaiyin was a little nervous. It was clearly some kind of opening move, and she just hoped that Doutang wouldn't... when he used that opening move.
Be quiet!
"Wuhu!"
A childish shout from Fall Guys carried far and wide!
Huaiyin's little face immediately scrunched up in a frown.
it's over...
After her initial shock, Chinatsu Kume suddenly realized...
That's...that's Fall Guys?
The jelly bean-like figure on the shore assumed a horse stance and looked at the last clump of seaweed!
The last clump of seaweed entangled the most important bones, binding the ribs and skull together, while the huge boar skull's hollow eyes stared intently at Dou Tang.
"Oh!"
The single fist blasted through the air, ultimately creating a crater of broken bone on the surface of the skull, while also pulverizing the last of the seaweed!
"Giggle-"
Bone collision, reconstruction.
A powerful and imposing aura enveloped Doutang.
The skull rolled down the spine and slowly came to where it should be.
The scene before him was so surreal that Dou Tang felt as if he were not in the real world, but in a mesmerizing dream.
A gigantic, skeletal wild boar, more than three stories tall, stood on the beach. Its tusks gleamed with a ghastly white light, and its body was covered in armor formed of green algae, making it look ancient and majestic.
"Such a thing shouldn't exist in this world," Dou Tang thought to himself.
This world shouldn't be like this. The vengeful spirits and evil spirits I see should be the reality of this world. What is this thing that transcends the realm of the supernatural and enters the door of magical reality?
Why haven't I encountered anything like this in the past year?
Dou Tang keenly sensed that something was definitely wrong, that something he wasn't aware of was changing the world.
"Woo--Woo--"
Just then, a new police siren sounded from the mountaintop.
Ito Oogami looked down at Dou Tang, his skull bobbing up and down as if nodding, as if thanking him.
Then, it raised its head, and those strange auras condensed together, transforming into a heavy, almost tangible sound wave.
"Squeak!!!"
It took heavy strides, and the earth trembled as it ran.
you……
You're ignoring me?
The doubts and suspicions about the current situation vanished instantly, replaced by hatred and anger towards the evil spirits.
“Wuhu!!!”
The Fall Guys roared to the sky, their magnetic male voices mingling with the innocent voices of children, creating a deafening roar.
Not to be outdone, he charged directly towards the spot where Ito had left.
Chapter 118 How Should I Back Down?
Toudou transformed into a heavy, pinkish-black phantom, striding forward with an aura only slightly inferior to that of Ito Oogami, as the towering monster and the bizarre muscular jelly-like figure raced along the main road of Kamogawa City.
Too flamboyant
The scene was so chaotic and shocking that, amidst the incessant wailing of sirens, the two monsters rushed into the mountains, waking up the entire city.
Dou Tang leaped into the air, then grabbed the eaves with both hands and jumped onto the roof of a low building. He moved swiftly on the roof like a monkey and finally caught up with the running Ito Ogami.
The residents felt the ground shake as if it were an earthquake, a huge dark shadow rushed across the street, and then heavy footsteps were heard on the roof.
Standing in the pouring rain, Dou Tang used the surrounding streetlights to pinpoint the appearance of Ito-sama, leaping over one building after another, finally curling his legs shoulder-width apart and jumping with all his might.
He transformed into a black shadow, his massive black hand slamming down towards Ito Oogami's spine.
Hold on tight!
The Fall Guys' bizarre ability took effect; although Dou Tang had only placed his hands on his spine, it was as if he were glued in place, and he did not fall off even as his body swayed due to Ito's frantic running.
Twisting his waist, he flipped onto the pig, and Dou Tang lowered his body, feeling that even the gale was becoming more violent because of Ito Ogami's rapid strides.
Strangely, the Great God Ito did not show any hostility towards Tou-tang, but allowed him to ride on his back and continued to move silently into the mountains.
A man and a pig transformed into the same shadow, their heavy footsteps waking everyone from their slumber.
People looked at the window, which was mottled and blurred by the wind and rain. The huge sound, like a mountain rushing by, grew louder as it approached. Water in the cups spilled, things on the table fell, and then a dark, blurry phantom passed by outside the window.
But the sound gradually diminished, even disappearing into the gloomy rain, as if it had never existed, with only the sirens on the mountain still echoing in all directions.
Dou Tang looked around, somewhat confused.
Sitting on the back of the Great God Ito, he suddenly realized that the lights of the entire city were going out, and the streets in the distance were plunging into darkness.
The ghost wall has appeared.
Dou Tang suddenly realized this.
However, he usually doesn't fall into a ghost wall, which only means that the situation he is in now is even more bizarre than a ghost wall, and even the Fall Guys' resistance cannot avoid it.
"What did you hear...?"
A faint, chilling female voice suddenly rang out, startling Dou Tang. He looked around, but saw nothing.
He couldn't believe that someone like himself would hallucinate.
But this voice wasn't made by Ito-sama, Tou-tang was certain of that.
After waiting for a while, the voice did not reappear, so Dou Tang could only suppress his doubts and look back at the distant mountaintop.
Due to some kind of environment created by the ghost wall or by the great god Ito, the sound of sirens now sounds muffled and distant, as if it is penetrating through a thick body of water, at least it is not so noisy.
To the average person, the huge black shadow that had been running wildly had completely turned into a cold, shadowy figure, its true appearance indistinguishable, and the heavy hoofbeats had become a faint, eerie clattering sound.
