Chapter 303: Meeting Members

Miyamoto Tooru was like a hungry wolf as he started fighting everything else in the swamp. He was a grandmaster, so he could defeat even some very powerful monsters. The monsters here were not only human-like monsters, but they were all experts in martial arts.

Kill! Kill! Kill!!! Miyamoto Tooru emptied his mind completely and the only thought he had left was to wipe out everything before him and turn into the slave of that blood-red sword, to serve the sword for all eternity.

The sword kept shaking while everyone was engaged in battle, as though it was very excited. The skeleton it was on fell apart from how hard it was shaking.

The sword glowed brightly as it flew around the battles to choose the one he liked best. By this time, Miyamoto Tooru was on the ground and his arms had been torn off, but he refused to stop fighting, and there was a piece of flesh in his mouth that he himself did not know where he tore it from.

When the blood-red sword got around to Miyamoto Tooru, it suddenly hummed loudly. It was extremely excited and seemed to have found itself its perfect slave.

Its me! Youve chosen me! Me!! A maniacal smile spread across Miyamoto Toorus face. He knew the sword had chosen him.

The sword suddenly flew into the air and sliced the air. The creatures engaged in battle were sliced into half at the waist, causing blood and internal organs to spill everywhere. Some of the hardy ones were still able to move and crawled through the mud, but the sword sliced the air again, and this time, all the creatures were dead. Only Miyamoto Tooru was left lying alive on the ground.

He panted heavily as he did his best to get to his feet, swaying unsteadily as he moved closer to the sword and fell on one knee.

My Master! said Miyamoto Tooru without hesitation.

The sword seemed very pleased, and two red beams of light shot out from its blade. They touched the place where Miyamoto Toorus arms were missing and quickly turned into a pair of blood-red arms.

Black veins ran through his arms, and his two hands were like the claws of a demon. Miyamoto Tooru was delighted as he looked at his new arms and reached for the sword.

The sword hummed loudly, and the voice he had heard when he first got here rang in his head.

Bring me back! Bring me back to the real world! Take me away from this Island of Mistakes!

Your wish is my command, my Master! Miyamoto Tooru nodded slightly. There was a strange smile on his lips.

Jin? Brother Su! Kano Mai and Ye Yun were pleasantly surprised. They didnt think the rustling approaching them would turn out to be Su Jin.

Ye Yun! Mai! Su Jin was equally delighted. He had been moving toward the beach with the five Demon Lord worshippers, only to discover a manmade trap. The trap wasnt for hunting and looked more like a warning system of sorts. Su Jin figured that most creatures on the island wouldnt do such a thing and it was more likely that owners set this up, so he came over to take a look.

He had five excellent fighters on his team, so any creature that needed to put up a warning sort of trap wouldnt be a threat to him. But he didnt expect to find Ye Yun and Kano Mai either.

Watch out, both of you! The ones behind him are monsters! yelled Ogawa Hideko in horror. The other two owners with her looked just as horrified. Ye Yun and Kano Mai immediately became wary. It was not surprising for creatures like shapeshifters to exist on this island.

When Su Jin saw their reactions, he hurriedly explained, Dont worry! Theyre worshippers of the Demon Lord! Ive already found them and as long as we can get back, the almighty Demon Lord will welcome them!

Ye Yun and Kano Mai were a little stunned. They knew all about the Demon Lord, since she had helped to save Ye Yun, and Ye Yun had met the Demon Lord before too. So, when Su Jin mentioned her, they knew that this was the real Su Jin.

Great envoy, are they also fellow believers? asked the leader of the worshippers.

Su Jin nodded. Thats right. They were sent to this island with me. But the almighty Demon Lord did not tell them why they had to come here, since there are so many powerful characters here. She was afraid that if something went wrong and others found out about our mission, we would attract unnecessary trouble.

The five worshippers nodded and accepted the explanation. They began praising the Demon Lord for having great foresight and also thanked the other owners profusely for being such faithful and brave followers. The owners were so confused.

Su Jin threw Kano Mai a glance, and she immediately pulled the owners aside. She whispered to them, Im not sure exactly whats going on, but my team leader has probably taken control of those five monsters and you guys just need to go along.

But those are monsters we have to just go along? Then if he slips up, wouldnt we Ogawa Hideko shuddered. She clearly did not believe that Su Jin would be able to maintain control of these monsters for long.

Kano Mai frowned and said to her, Since thats the case, we wont force you to come along. You can choose to stay with us, or you can choose to leave.

Im sorry, Mai, but I really cant accept the idea of moving with monsters. I will leave, said Ogawa Hideko without hesitation. After giving it some thought, the other two owners chose to leave with her as well.

Kano Mai didnt try to persuade them further and just said, Alright then. I wish you guys all the best, and hopefully we can still meet at the beach.

You too. Ogawa Hideko hugged Kano Mai gently, then left with the other two owners.

Kano Mai walked back to where Su Jin was and nodded. Great envoy, the three of them have a special mission to carry out, so they have to leave for the time being and wont be journeying with us.

Su Jin nodded slightly, then gave Kano Mai a look to compliment her for getting into this role really quickly. If their behavior wasnt seamless enough, it would be hard to gain the complete trust of the worshippers again.

The eight of them journeyed on and it was soon dawn. That meant that they had gone through their first day on this island. Su Jin was worried about the rest and wondered how they were.

The five worshippers guarded the three of them so that their envoy could rest, and Su Jin thanked them. Actually, there wasnt anything wrong in calling Su Jin the Demon Lords envoy. Once he got back, he would definitely tell her about these worshippers. But what she did with the information was none of his business. He would have done what he ought to and he wouldnt feel guilty or anything like that.

The three of them lay down together to rest, which made Su Jin feel a little awkward. But there was no time to think about anything else now. Making sure his mental and physical state was at its best was the most important.

The short period of rest helped them to recover some strength. They continued walking and it didnt take long for them to come across three bodies. They belonged to Ogawa Hideko and the two owners who had left with her.

Did they run into monsters? Su Jin sighed. It was very normal to run into monsters on this island, and if they werent prepared for it, it was only natural for them to end up dead.

Brother Su! Sister Mai! Take a look, Ye Yun called out to the other two as she bent down to look more closely at the bodies.

They walked over to see that Ye Yun was looking at Ogawa Hidekos face, and they were just as surprised as Ye Yun was. The expression on Ogawa Hidekos face was actually one of delight, and it looked like she had been killed before her expression had the chance to change.

Is it an illusionary spell or a meme of sorts? Su Jin was immediately on high alert. If there was a meme here, they were all in danger.

Great envoy, I dont think its anything like that. I do not spot any movement like that. A red light flashed in the eyes of the leader of the five worshippers.

The Demon Lords Eye! Su Jin was surprised. He didnt think the Demon Lords worshippers would have this ability. He knew very well how it worked. That eye was able to see through many, many things, so it would be easy for it to ascertain if these three had died from being affected by some spell.

If its not an illusion or a meme, then what could they have seen that made her so happy? Su Jin was puzzled.

But a thought suddenly struck Kano Mai. She said to him, Jin, theres something I havent told you. This Ogawa Hideko has a teammate and hes Miyamoto Tooru!

Miyamoto Tooru?!? Su Jin stared blankly at her. Hes not dead yet?

Its true. The Miyamoto family seemed to have found a way to turn him into an owner, said Kano Mai with a nod.

Su Jin furrowed his brows. If that same Miyamoto Tooru was on this island, then they were in trouble. He was a true martial arts grandmaster, and he was probably the most formidable of the 36 owners here.

But Su Jin didnt think too deeply about it. He had these five worshippers with him and these five were very formidable. Even if they did run into Miyamoto Tooru, the one on the losing end was Miyamoto Tooru.

We all have to be a little more careful, make sure we dont get separated, instructed Su Jin. Regardless of whether they ran into Miyamoto Tooru or not, it was best to be careful at all times.

They continued making their way forward and Su Jin could vaguely smell the sea breeze, which meant they werent far from the beach now. A shadow continued to hide in the forest and followed them.

After walking a little more, the five worshippers suddenly stopped and turned to look at the same place in the forest. A shadow suddenly leaped out.

The five worshippers instantly went into battle mode, but Su Jin stopped them from taking action. That shadow was none other than Chu Yi.

Chu Yi! Chu Yi! Su Jin and Kano Mai were pleasantly surprised. About half the team had gathered now.

Chu Yi initially smiled brightly when he saw the three of them, but his face fell soon after and he looked absolutely exhausted. He said to Su Jin, Boss, Uncle Wu Uncle Wu has died.

The three of them were shocked before falling completely silent. Su Jin had figured that he might lose a couple of team members on this island, but Wu Chen was definitely one of the last few he thought hed lose.
