Dragon of the Root

Chapter 521: The Fox That Gives Wu Ming a Headache

Wu Ming was on his way to where Demon God Shuten was.

When Wu Ming passed the central hall, he found that Tamamo-no-Mae was still sitting on the platform at the front of the hall, and there was no movement.

At this moment, a tremendous poisonous gas emerged from the central hall, and almost touched Tamamo-no-Mae.

Even people who don't know what the fog is will find it dangerous, let alone Wu Ming, who knows what the purple fog is.

When Wu Ming stretched out his hand, golden ripples appeared, and fake Chains of Heaven appeared from the ripples. In just a moment, the fake Chains of Heaven wrapped around Tamamo-no-Mae.

Immediately after, Wu Ming waved his hand, and the chain flew in front of Tamamo.

Tamamo had not previously resisted, and let Wu Ming pull her with chains.

Before catching Tamamo, he pulled back the chain and asked Wu Ming subconsciously.

"Why are you still here, the Demon God's Pillar attack has spread."

The reason why Wu Ming asked this was because, even if Tamamo had the physical immunity bestowed by the Holy Grail, even if she was able to defend against the poison of the Demon God's Pillar, the Demon God's Pillar still had another attack.

Since the poisonous mist can expand, another attack from the Demon God's Pillar is also possible.

However, Tamamo-no-Mae smiled sweetly at Wu Ming's question.

"Wasn't Silence-sama the one who asked me to stay here? This is a deal between me and you~" Tamamo-no-Mae winked at Wu Ming like a brat.

When Tamamo-no-Mae said this earlier, Wu Ming was even more embarrassed.

In fact, Wu Ming didn't care at all about what he said, For the sake of telling the truth in front of Tamamo-no-Mae, Wu Ming only warned Tamamo-no-Mae not to make any small movements behind his back.

Wu Ming only used the phrase "stay here and don't go anywhere" as a warning. He didn't expect that in the face of danger, Tamamo-no-Mae would not move. Who would have thought that Tamamo-no-Mae would be that serious.

"Forget it, I didn't say it well, but remember this, an insignificant agreement like this can be reversed in a life crisis." Wu Ming said very seriously.

"But, it was the first agreement between me and you. It's not that I just ruined it, but since you came to help me break the contract, then forget it this time~" Tamamo-no-Mae smiled a little, admitting it.

"Also, Silence-sama, how long do you want to hug me?" Tamamo-no-Mae previously showed an innocent smile.

Wu Ming's face was embarrassed, and he quickly put the front of Tamamo-no-Mae into his arms.

After using the fake Chains of Heaven to pull Tamamo-no-Mae from the front, Wu Ming took back the Chains of Heaven, and he hugged Tamamo-no-Mae like a cat.

In other words, the feeling before holding Tamamo is no different from holding a cat, ahem...

Back to topic.

"Since you have adhered to our previous agreement, then I will treat you as a partner for now. You continue walking towards the city gates and make peace with Master Chaldea."

Although Wu Ming had said that he would treat Tamamo-no-Mae earlier as a partner, it was purely by agreement, but Wu Ming did not completely believe it.

Who would completely believe a strange woman who was originally an enemy but suddenly said she wanted to marry you when she saw you.

Seeing that Tamamo-no-Mae didn't make any small moves, let her join the team for now, this was Wu Ming's plan.

And even if Tamamo-no-Mae wanted to do something, Karna could be there, and he wasn't afraid of Tamamo-no-Mae.

Tamamo-no-Mae nodded slightly regretfully, as if displeased at not being a "wife".

However, Tamamo-no-Mae seemed to think of something again, then nodded honestly, then asked.

"Then what about you, Silence-sama? If I guess correctly, you will destroy the Demon God's Pillar."

Wu Ming naturally nodded and admitted, there was nothing to hide.

Could it be that Wu Ming came here specifically to save Tamamo-no-Mae, and the relationship between Wu Ming and Tamamo-no-Mae wasn't very good.

"About this, I have something to say." Tamamo-no-Mae bowed towards Wu Ming as if she really put herself in the shoes of a wife.

Wu Ming nodded. Since there was information, he naturally needed to listen.

After Wu Ming nodded, Tamamo-no-Mae before opened his mouth.

"Actually, the Holy Grail was placed on Osakabehime, but I don't think that has anything to do with her. It was completely designed by Shuten Douji."

"Sure enough, it's Osakabehime." Wu Ming nodded.

When Shuten Doji told "I will wait for you at Himeji Castle" with his mouth, Wu Ming almost guessed it.

After all, Himeji Castle is the residence of the youkai in Himeji castle, and it's not surprising that it has become a Noble Phantasm.

"Actually, when your Noble Phantasm landed in this city, even though Osakabehime used the power of the Holy Grail, to counter the cheating of your Noble Phantasm, Osakabehime herself might feel uncomfortable waiting for me, while Shuten-douji didn't take the Holy Grail back, but kept it with Osakabehime."

When Wu Ming heard this, he suddenly realized.

That said, it's over.

Even if Wu Ming's cheating level Noble Phantasm was blocked by Himeji Castle, Himeji Castle couldn't possibly be left in ruins.

If with the help of the Holy Grail, this makes sense.

"Listen, haven't you met Osakabehime yet?" Wu Ming asked.

After all, Tamamo-no-Mae's words showed that she didn't know the truth.

"Yes, Silence-sama, because after Osakabehime restrained your Noble Phantasm, Shuten-doji asked me to stay here and try to detain you based on the structure of the position, and Suzuka Gozen and Ibaraki-doji were also dispatched."

Then Wu Ming also knew what happened after that Karna dragged Suzuka Gozen, Wu Ming came here and was told the reason by Tamamo-no-Mae earlier, When he came back, he was stopped by Ibaraki Doji, and he fought, and Ibaraki Doji committed suicide .

In the end, Shuten Douji died, but the Demon God's Pillar was summoned at this time.

"Actually, I originally wanted to visit Osakabehime after you left, and help you retrieve the Holy Grail, but because of your agreement with me, I didn't."

Wu Ming raised his eyebrows, and it was my fault for saying that.

Well, looks like it's my fault...

Wu Ming shook his head and then spoke.

"I don't think that even if you take the Holy Grail, the Demon God's Pillar cannot be summoned."

Wu Ming believed that the chance to summon the Demon God Pillar was Shuten Douji's death.

It is very possible that Shuten-douji did something to the Holy Grail from the start, taking his own life as an opportunity, once Shuten-douji leaves the stage, the Holy Grail will automatically activate and summon the Demon God's Pillar with Shuten douji's consciousness attached.

"Next, can you beat Osakabehime?"

Actually, when Wu Ming was holding Tamamo-no-Mae just now, Wu Ming had already realized, at this moment, Tamamo-no-Mae actually didn't have much fighting power.

Compared to Tamamo-no-Mae, the golden-haired white-faced nine-tailed fox that was recorded in history that killed one of the three great demons, the current Tamamo-no-Mae was really a wife and a maid fox.

"I didn't think that Osakabehime would fight back." Tamamo-no-Mae smiled slightly.

This confused Wu Ming, could the two be friends?
