A Yokai with four arms and an Oni mask like face was rushing through the trees while holding an unconscious child in one of his arms.
To think the great Tsuchigumo who was once regarded as an 'Ayakashi one must never encounter' was reduced to a mere kidnapper that too of a child.
Tsuchigumo couldn't help but be angry whenever he thought of the woman who was responsible for his predicament.
He who used to be a Peak Ultimate class existence now could barely be considered an Ultimate class being and his arms were proof of that.
Yasaka no Okami! That damned fox who is just the glorified dog of Amaterasu.
He never expected to be humiliated by a Yokai who he had just considered insignificant and young.
He used to be able to feast on the flesh and blood of both humans and Yokai alike without anyone to put a stop to him.
He used to believe that even if the gods came he would still prevail because he considered himself the strongest.
He found pleasure in fighting strong opponents and more than anything he loved crushing those who were weaker than him.
The helpless screams and wails of the weak were music to his ears. Nobody stopped him while he rampaged around so when a young Kitsune came to him and threatened him to stop his rampage otherwise she would put him down.
He of course laughed at the absurdity of her claims and told her he had never eaten the flesh of a Kitsune and he thanked her for delivering herself to his doorstep.
Tsuchigumo still remembered the confidence he had while facing that woman because although Kitsune were strong they weren't that strong but he still remembered the gentle smile on that damned Kitsune's face as it morphed into a bloodthirsty one as she revealed her Nine damned tails.
He still remembered the fleeting sensation of terror he felt when he saw her smile.
Knowing that he was not facing any random Kitsune but a Nine-Failed Fox Yokai which was a legendary Yokai did make him reconsider his decisions.
But he still felt his pride hurt by how lightly this bitch was taking their duel, he was Tsuchigumo, the infamous Yokai who struck terror in the hearts of Yokai and humans alike.
He was not some nobody that she could just crush, thus he jumped into battle with the intention of tearing her apart.
He was confident in his strength as even Nurahiyon had to be careful with him, thus his arrogance wasn't entirely unwarranted at least that was what he thought until he was suddenly thrown into a nearby mountain while he felt a sharp pain on his back.
He still remembered being confused but he would never forget that sight that instilled fear in him.
When he got himself together and got out of the depression in the mountain he was met with the sight of that damned Kitsune with the same infuriating smile on her face but what made him terrified was the bleeding arm she held in her hand.
Blood was dripping from it pouring near her and due to the sheer amount, it splashed all over her clothes and body.
" Now look at that ~ You dirtied my robe ~..... I have decided, it's annihilation for you ~ " The nonchalant way she spoke of annihilating him a peak ultimate class being was what terrified him.
He thought it would be a fight, a blood-pumping battle where he would get to satiate his bloodlust.
How wrong he was ..... It was just a one sided slaughter.....
...
He died that day and if not for his trait he wouldn't have been able to resurrect.
He wanted revenge but whenever he thought of that damned woman, terror would grip his whole being.
The way she tore his limbs and left him like a limbless waste was still fresh in his memory.
The pain and terror of being torn apart by a giant fox was something he would never forget. It was etched into his existence and he dared to not try to take revenge against that Fox.
But who would have thought he would be presented with the golden opportunity to take revenge, to think this woman had made so many enemies and even her own subordinates seemed to be dissatisfied with her due to her marrying a human.
She would have never expected her husband's death to be caused by people whom she trusted.
The thought of this did bring some joy to Tsuchigumo's heart, but it wasn't enough he had to make her grovel in front of him like she did to him.
That was why although annoyed he still accepted the task to take care of abducting the woman's daughter, he wanted to kill her daughter in front of her eyes as he feasted on the brat's flesh and blood.
He wanted to make her feel despair, he wanted to see her crumble, to see her beg.
Tsuchigumo couldn't help but feel his heart swell with expectation as his mouth watered as he imagined how the flesh of a Nine-Tailed Fox would taste.
But as he was fantasizing about the plausible future he felt a huge impact on his face causing his mask-like face to show cracks from the sheer impact.
*Boom*
A crater was formed as Tsuchigumo crashed into the ground with such force that his whole body ached.
As he slowly got out of the crater with rage fueling inside over the bastard that sneak attacked him, he heard a young voice resound in the silent night.
" How do you want to die? " .....
