21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 466 462: Dealing (Seeking monthly tickets at the beginning of the month for guaranteed minimum)

Old Man Tashiro wasn't killed by Hiromi Jounouchi, although he was trampled and devastated by a would-be Legendary Dragonkin who had turned into a Half-Dragon state. It has to be said that even though Old Man Tashiro's would-be Legendary strength was somewhat inflated, his body was still remarkably sturdy. He was still breathing and very much alive.

Even though one of his legs has been chopped off, an arm torn away, an eye blinded, his stomach pierced clean through, and who knows how many bones have been broken all over his body, plus not a patch of good skin left on him, dragged to a hospital he wouldn't even be saved by deities, yet he was indeed still alive.

Listedning to Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi as they discussed how to deal with him like appraising a piece of merchandise, Old Man Tashiro felt a surge of immense indignation. His brain, which had already been brought to its senses by Hiromi Jounouchi, was once again teetering on the brink of being overwhelmed by rage.

Noticing Old Man Tashiro's reaction, Yu Chen nonchalantly walked over to him. Looking down at Tashiro, who lay on the ground like a lump of rotten flesh, he squatted and said, "Do you feel a deep sense of resentment and fury? A strong would-be Sub-Legendary Powerhouse, who lived for over a century, sacrificing all his kin for all of this, now easily defeated and lying on the ground like a dead dog, being appraised like an object. Does it feel humiliating? Do you wish to slaughter everyone?"

"Kill or carve me up as you see fit!" stimulated by Yu Chen's words, Old Man Tashiro calmed down quite a bit. He did not fall into a demonic frenzy again, and even his anger subsided substantially.

"Kill you? Wouldn't that be letting you off too easily?" Yu Chen laughed, snapped his fingers, then stood up and walked toward the Ninja Hanzo nearby, but he continued speaking, "A man who could sacrifice his own blood and relatives just like that... even if I agreed to kill you, they wouldn't agree."

As soon as Yu Chen finished speaking, Old Man Tashiro suddenly felt surrounded by a circle of figures floating in mid-air. Looking closely, he realized they were the children and relatives he had killed and sacrificed!

"Father! Why did you kill me?" "Grandpa, no!" "Dad, please spare my child!"

Numerous voices enveloped Old Man Tashiro. These were all the last words of those he had killed and sacrificed, filled with unwillingness, anger, hatred, despair... A myriad of negative emotions filled the souls in their final moments. Unable to rest in peace due to the curse of the Sacrificial Ritual, they could not reincarnate. Moreover, because of the Sacrificial Ritual, their souls had become entangled with Old Man Tashiro's. For over a century, they had been suppressed by Tashiro, unable even to curse him.

At this moment, released from Tashiro's physical shell by Yu Chen, the centuries of accumulated resentment finally burst forth, eroding Tashiro's own spirit, cursing him ceaselessly. Even more ferocious souls rushed directly at him, tearing into his flesh, eliciting from him constant screams.

Watching Old Man Tashiro being devoured by fierce ghosts, Ninja Hanzo felt the ninja mask on his face soaked with cold sweat. Though as a ninja, from the very first day of his career, endurance was the first thing he learned, expected to maintain a countenance free of joy or anger, witnessing the sight before him where a living person was being devoured by ghosts still sent a chill down his spine and made him worry he might be next.

Yu Chen noticed Ninja Hanzo's thoughts, sized him up, then turned to Maeda Toshiie to ask, "Does this ninja possess any particular merits? Worthy of Mr. Shadow Guard showing mercy?"

"His name is Hanzo, and I recognize that sword of his; it was given to him by Tokugawa Ieyasu as a token of gratitude for Hattori Hanzo's protection when he traveled through Iga after the Honnoji incident," explained Maeda Toshiie to Chen Yu, naturally not willing to let Ninja Hanzo go simply because of his name. The most important reason was that he recognized the sword.

Upon hearing this from Maeda Toshiie, Chen Yu understood and nodded, "So he is a descendant of Ghost Hanzo. No wonder. But I remember the name Hanzo persisted until the twelfth-generation Hanzo, who even participated in the Fushimi Inari War. As a scion of a noble house, you should have continued your loyalty to the Tokugawa Family. How did you end up in such a state?"

"After the Fushimi Inari War, the former retainers of the Shogunate were purged by the new government, and the Hattori family was among them. Consequently, our family's fortune declined, and we fell into the state of being Rogue Ninjas. I am the fifteenth-generation Hanzo, and I was gravely injured by my enemies and saved by Mister Tashiro at that time, which is why I was taken in by the Tashiro Family and have stayed with them ever since," Ninja Hanzo obviously did not want to dwell on the past, and after briefly explaining, he fell silent.

After hearing his explanation, Chen Yu nodded in implicit agreement and looked toward Maeda Toshiie, "Then, Mr. Shadow Guard, how do you plan to deal with him?"

"After all, he's a descendant of an old acquaintance. If the lord permits, I would like to spare his life," said Maeda Toshiie, looking at Ninja Hanzo in front of him, then speaking to Chen Yu after some contemplation.

Although Maeda Toshiie had started his career as an attendant for Oda Nobunaga during his younger years, the Maeda family was also a retainer of the Oda clan. He was accustomed to commanding others from a young age, and given that he was quite familiar with Hattori Hanzo, he naturally wanted to spare his descendant, so that he himself might also have someone capable to order around.

"Hmm, that is acceptable. Then leave his fate in your hands, Mr. Shadow Guard. However..." As Chen Yu's voice trailed off, a purple light formed in his hand and he directly pressed it onto Ninja Hanzo's forehead: "Just to be safe, I'll add a restriction to him."

Neither Maeda Toshiie nor Ninja Hanzo himself saw any issue with what Chen Yu did, accepting this as a matter of course.

After Chen Yu had imposed the restriction on Ninja Hanzo, Maeda Toshiie also relieved his oppression on him, allowing him to stand up from the ground.

Having dealt with the Ninja, Chen Yu then turned to look at Old Man Tashiro, who was already skeletal from being gnawed on by the Fierce Ghosts, and slightly frowned. He turned to Hiromi Jounouchi beside him and asked, "Hiromi, what do you want to do with this fellow?"

"I was thinking of using him to create a Blood Descendant, but now he's just a broken mess..." Hiromi Jounouchi said, looking at Old Man Tashiro with a look of disgust; clearly, Jounouchi Hiromi did not want a Blood Descendant who was missing limbs and was barely functional.

"Haha, wasn't it you who went overboard when you hit him?" Chen Yu laughed, looking at the reproachful expression on Hiromi Jounouchi's face. He stopped laughing and added, "Fixing him up and reattaching his limbs should make him usable again. However, simply turning him into one of your Blood Descendants seems too lenient for him. How about trying to make a Soul Prison Blood Hunter?"
