During this time, Kozuki Oden was Genichi's most important experiment.
It wasn't quite the same feeling as drawing cards. Drawing cards was like directly getting a finished product. Now, it was like raising a pet, watching him grow step by step. This feeling was quite complex.
Kikyo slowly walked into the dark cave. After feeding him some more herbs, she prepared to leave.
Kozuki Oden said in a hoarse, low voice, "You seem to be very busy lately?"
In the past, although Kikyo would leave after preparing herbs for him, she wouldn't leave immediately.
"A wounded samurai has recently come to the village, and I need to treat him." Kikyo still had that look of faint sorrow, and she gently gathered up the bundle in her hands.
She looked back at Oden, her eyes filled with a hint of pity.
"You will probably have to spend the rest of your time here."
Kozuki Oden was silent. He didn't say anything, so Kikyo left completely.
Kozuki Oden's heart was twisted by a strange emotion. He didn't know why, but in the past year or so, when he was fed by Kikyo, every time he saw her saint-like appearance, his heart would beat unusually fast. He thought he wouldn't care about people, but he was wrong.
He had a very ugly thought in his heart: what joy would it be if this pure Kikyo kneeled before him with a lustful look?!
The desire in his heart twisted him. He wanted to make Kikyo his own!
So, he struggled to stand up.
He had recovered a lot of strength now. Although he was still far from his previous strength, even weaker than when he hadn't merged with Mara's remnants, he was still very strong.
However, he had not acted rashly because he could see that Kikyo was a very strong woman, and he couldn't expose himself like that for the sake of the herbs in her hands.
But now he had recovered a lot. Although he still felt the burning sensation on his body, as if he was still being punished by the raging fire in the burning Flower Capital, it was extremely difficult for him to take each step.
But he still had to stand up. He wanted to see who that samurai was!
The wounded samurai had come and stolen his Kikyo!
That's what Kozuki Oden thought.
Before the samurai came, Kikyo only needed to take care of him every day, and she would talk to him more. But after the samurai came, Kikyo spent less and less time with him!
So, he wanted to see who that samurai was, and then...
Kill him!
Kozuki Oden was now covered in bandages, looking like a mummy. He walked like that too. He was actually in a very special state at the moment.
He was both a living person and a shadow. People couldn't see anything when he was in the cave before, but when he left the cave and reached the outside world, when the sunlight shone on him, they would find that he had no shadow at all.
The reason why his power was so difficult to recover was also because he was in this state. Generally speaking, he could only turn people into his shadow soldiers after they died, but he hadn't died, so the process of turning them into shadow soldiers was quite difficult.
He had been slowly merging with his shadow for the past year. In a year, he had only merged with a small part of it. It could be imagined that he would spend most of his time in this fusion in the future.
He walked with difficulty towards the small mountain village ahead. As a secret place he had found, it was certainly very remote. He had also investigated the surrounding terrain and environment, and knew where the only village nearby was.
He had originally planned to use the people inside as spare food, but he didn't expect to accidentally run into Kikyo.
After he arrived at the mountain village, he searched for Kikyo's aura and finally arrived at a shrine located almost outside the village.
He walked to the shrine and found that it was a bit dilapidated. There were voices coming from inside. He saw the people inside through the cracks, and his pupils suddenly shrank! A wave of shock even arose in his heart!
Because the samurai inside, the wounded samurai that Kikyo mentioned, he actually knew!
It was clearly Himura Kenshin!
Had he found him? Did he know that he wasn't dead yet? So he came here to kill him?
But soon, he discovered that that was not the case at all!
"Have you decided to seal your sword?"
Kikyo asked softly.
Himura Kenshin nodded. "Master Hyougoro found me the day before yesterday, and he gave me this reverse-blade sword."
Kozuki Oden looked over and saw that Kenshin had a special sword in his hand.
The blade of the sword was on the back, and the original striking position was actually the back of the sword. A sword like that couldn't kill people at all.
Why would Himura Kenshin use such a sword?
"Although I know that doing so cannot wash away the sins on my body, it will at least seal the sword that will create more killing."
Kenshin said in a low voice, "Thank you for your guidance during this time, Miss Kikyo. Can I stay in this village for a while?"
Kozuki Oden didn't listen to the rest of the conversation, because he was shocked and filled with anger when he saw Himura Kenshin's appearance at the moment. That anger turned into a raging fire that burned his soul!
Compared to this flame, what was the fire that burned his body in the Flower Capital?
Himura Kenshin thought he could atone for his sins by sealing his sword?
That was too funny!
He wasn't dead yet!
Himura Kenshin had killed him twice. How could he let it go so easily?
Not to mention, this Himura Kenshin actually wanted to steal his woman. Limitless ugly murderous intent welled up in his heart. And at this moment, perhaps his emotions were too excited, or perhaps his murderous intent was too obvious, Kenshin couldn't help but frown.
"Who is it?!"
Himura Kenshin shouted in a low voice, and Kozuki Oden quickly hid.
Although he felt angry and jealous of Himura Kenshin, he also knew that he was no match for Himura Kenshin right now.
He had already been killed twice by Kenshin, and he didn't want to be killed again. Especially now that if he was killed again, he really wouldn't be able to revive.
And for some reason, he didn't want his true face to be exposed in front of Kikyo either.
He fled back to the cave in a panic, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more twisted he became. At this moment, his dark eyes were a little red.
Himura Kenshin was going to live in this village. If he really wanted to live in seclusion here next, then...
Kozuki Oden suddenly shouted. That guy lived in guilt because he knew what he had done, but did he think he could live in peace by sealing his sword?
No way!
And at this moment, Kozuki Oden sensed...
The devil's gaze!
Countless demons watching!
