Chapter 182-1
[Part 1/4]
It was a remote area, untouched by the influence of central civilization. A truly uninhabited land, with no records of the barbaric tribes even in literature.
...Yes. A land of no "people."
(Is this place too?)
Sensing countless physical and Curse Art traps laid out, along with the lurking presence of youkai and shiki guarding the area, the former head of the Omnyouji Bureau──a tanuki woman──snorted silently. She sighed at the uselessness of the maps she had once studied.
Then, she effortlessly slipped through the many traps and gazes. She infiltrated without anyone noticing. Calmly, confidently, she blended in and showed her stealth.
...Azuma Hibari had already broken through similar security lines 7 times.
"How trivial. No, I should say it's like a game?"
For this half-youkai, skilled in illusions and stealth, her words weren't arrogant──they were simply facts. In past chaotic era, she'd infiltrated a monster general's lair and scouted the sacred grounds before she took down a dreadful evil god. She knew that even the slightest slip in her presence could mean a terrible fate... or worse, a living hell.
