Space Ex #9
Due to a sudden appearance of a group of Oni, I decided to see what was happening in the park. Oni are like the trolls of the japanese mythology.
They have a huge frame, immense strength, high regeneration, some magic resistance, and low intelligence. While they have low intelligence, they are very bloodthirsty and hungers for human flesh.
Normally, an Oni group is comprised of 2-3 Onis. They typically linger in deep mountains and seldom attack any human cities nowadays due to the high activities of powerful entities such as devils.
So watching the sudden increase of Oni in this park, I start to feel something weird is happening deep in that park.
As an adventurous alien who aims to conquer this world, I ofcourse couldn't just sit still and watch these Onis kill many. So I shrouded myself with darkness and tasked Greed to minimize all the aura that I release into zero.
I took advantage of the darkness of the night and slipped through the forest near the park. There are many Onis roaming around and not only are they roaming around, they are actually patroling. I even saw some Oni wearing some sort of armor while wielding a metalic club.
As I watch them, I also noticed that most of the young devils from the academy were alarmed by this phenomenon and are attacking the Onis with all they have. I even saw Ruby launching Destruction Magic towards the armored only but failed to actually kill it.
While they are fighting, I managed to sneak past the guards unnoticed and see what is happening at the heart of the Oni Camp.
Numerous Oni shamans are encircling a shrine in which an unkown magic circle was pulsating and growing in radius. It seemed to be absorbing a red line of viscous liquid which seemed to be blood.
Apart from the Oni shamans that were dancing around and chanting, there is a whole army of Oni ranging from different sizes.
My observation regarding these Onis are that they seemed to be more systematic and intelligent. They form clear divisions.
There is what I call Tank Division which was comprised of the biggest and strongest physical Oni. Then there are the Archer Division which are composed of smaller and more dextrous Onis. Then there is the cavalry comprised of polearms and club users. The
Overall, I can say that this activity that they are doing is well planed and well prepared. But if there is planning, it means that there are planners which perpetrated this activity.
These planners are most likely the leaders and pillar of support of these Onis. If the leaders vanished, there is a high probability of the Onis scattering and panicking.

It has been an hour but I can't seem to find the leader of these Onis without the risk of getting found out. Although I may be able to overpower mist of the Onis in this camp, the odds are not in my favor and may even result to fatality.
While observing the Oni, the sound of fighting reached the camp with several Devils charging through the ranks of the Onis. They kept on unleashing magic and an unkown devil hit the shrine and disrupted the magic circle.
"RRRAAAAGGGHH!!!!"
"INSOLENT BATS!! HOW DARE YOU DISRUPT THIS LORDS CEREMONY!!" A huge Oni suddenly shouted as he stand up
He was 50 feet in height, had a red body and a five-horned head, with fifteen eyes; one leg was white and the other black, while his arms were yellow and blue.
Although he is very colorful, he isn't harmless. The power that he was emitting is so strong and there seemed to be tatoos enveloping his body. These tatoos emit a different kind of power similar to mana.

While I was observing the huge Oni, I suddenly rememered a mythological creature similar to his description.
"Shuten-Doji" I muttered softly in which seemed to earned his attention simce our eye met even though I am in stealth
With him staring, my body went cold and was shilvering. It was as if a vicious beast set their eyes on me as their prey. An unkown pressure seemed to descend to me and I was stuck in place.
Shuten-Doji then raised his arm and swiped downwards to my direction. With a cruel smirk in his face he descended his palm straigth to me with the intent to flatten me.
"BOOOM!" A loud boise suddenly resounded in the forest and the Earth seemed to shakle for a little while

With all my strength, I was barely able to stop the hand from squashing me to death. I raised both of my arms ams unleashed all of my powers.
Greed appeared in full power as he increased my physical strength. He also designed my current armor to allow strong impact to flow easily to the ground.
My legs start to dig through the soil as I raised my arms to its utmost potential. I ofcourse didn't forget to deploy my [Fenrir Gloves]. My Chaos Gear was currently digging through the tough flesh of Shuten-Doji but I feel that it is still not enough.
I start to releasing and enveloping myself and Greed with the Destruction and Annihilation Mana inside of me which starts to cause massive damage to the hand descending toward me. Unconsciously, I seemed to released [Twice Critical] while I was unleashing my magic.
[MEGIN!]
A voice resounded in my head which immediately increased the power that I am releasing. So with the sudden burst of power I misdirected the palm to the side.
With a great chance like this, I immediately rushed forward to Shuten Doji and arrived at his legs. While his leg might be thicker than a human leg, the Achilles Tendons were also bigger.
So with my gloves, I immediately snapped his tendons. Not only did I snapped it, I also destroyed it with my magic which carved a good chunck of flesh and even showed the bones of Shuten Doji.
Although most beings with strong powers have equivalent regeneration, with this much impediment it would take a minute or so before it returns to normal function.
"RAGGGHHHHHHHHH!!" Shuten Doji wailed in pain
Shuten Doji fell forward to my direction so I immediately ran to a safe area. Shuten Doji's vigilance clearly increased which means that an attack like I did earlier wouldn't be easy to pull off.
Without anymore chance of cheap shots, I immediately thought of a way to escape. With my newly acquired Light energy from the fallen angel, I was able to formulate an easy but effective spell which may allow for an easy escape.
I modeled the light spell to a modern weponry which is the stun grenade. I did it by condensing light within another light spell which have the tendacy to explode and expel the light within it in a 3m radius. I designed it to be inside a light wide bladed spear with the light element compacted inside the spear shaft.
I immediately made a larger spear before propelling it directly to the eyes of Shuten Doji.
Shuten Doji, however, catched it easily. But even his catch is according to my plan. With him holding the Light lance in near proximity to his eyes, I ignited the flash bomb that I inserted inside that lance.
A blinding light erupted from the flash bomb which provided me a chance to teleport away from his area. However, as I was teleporting away I also noticed several japanese characters floating in the middle of the magic formation.
[オオミツヌ]
Which translates to Oumitsunu.
Oumitsunu is a legendary king of Izumo mentioned in the Fudoki, a mythical record of his history of Japan. He was a demigod, being the grandson of Susano-O, and had the size and strength of a giant, which he used to pull land via ropes to expand his kingdom.
As a Giant, I presume that he would be a hard opponent to beat. So even if I have my own pride due to my own immense power and talent, I am willing to put it down and actually call for help.

I teleported immediately towards the underworld and rushed towards my father's estate. With my immense mana pool, I barely afford the mana toll of multiple teleportation.
I arrived infront of him while he was busy reading some paper works as my mother acts as his secretary.
"Father, I need your help!" I said with urgency
"Finally! You are asking your father for help. Is it a girl? Did you find a cute girl and you don't know how to approach her without looking creepy? or do you have a hidden feelings towards a beautiful and kind teacher who happens to be young and single?" My dad said with a smile
"What?! No! I need your help just in case Oumitsunu actually get summoned." I immediately went straight to the point.
"Oumitsu- WHAT! How the hell would that guy get summoned in Earth?!" Father outbursted with surprise as he dropped the papers he was holding
"Well, long story short an Oni army charged near Souh Academy leaded by Shuten Doji. There seemed to be a ritual happening as I see a huge magic circle and shamans dancing around it. There is also a line of blood which seemed to be absorbed by the magic circle."
"Okay then... how the hell could you assume that Oumitsunu is the being they would summon?" Father asked curiously
"Well there are some Japanese Characters floating in the middle of it which actually read as Oumitsunu so I immedietly assumed that he is the one they are aiming to summon." I said truthfully
"So how about the young Devils? I am pretty sure that with how hot headed young aristocratic devils are, they are fighting with glee at this very moment." Father stated
"Well, yeah they are fighting. I mean they even broke through to the very base of operations of the Onis which angered Shuten Doji." I said nonchalantly as I took a seat to relax
"Thank you for immediately finding us for help Son. I know how impulssive and prideful youth can be and I am thankful that you put down your pride and asked for help." Mother said as she hug me
"By the way Father, you should increase the protection near Souh Academy. As powerful as I am, there is a high chance that stronger Fallen Angels would appear." I said to Father who was about to leave
"The what now?! Now the Fallen Angels are also involved? What more important information are you still hiding?" Father said with seriousness
"It's not that I am hiding it, you just didn't ask the right questions. By the way regarding the Fallen Angels, Kokabiel seemed to be planning on assassinating Aunt Rose to start up another war between Fallen Angels and Devils."
"That crazy son of a bitch! How dare he plot against my dear sister! I will tear that Crow apart!!" Father shouted as Destruction Mana starts to emit from his body
"Calm Down Dear! If you charged towards Kokabiel right now, you will actually give him what he wants! Why don't we face the current predicament at hand before you go charging at Kokabiel." Mother said with seriously with a smile while actually releasing a scary aura
"Oh.... Ok then. I think it would be best if I finish this Yokai event before messing with that Kokabiel." My father said scaredly with a forced smile since he is quite afraid of mother when she gets into that scary smile mode.
"Since Father is personaly going, I guess that I can finally rest. By the way father, if you don't see me in the house, I am probably eating out somewhere." I said before teleporting to the neareast portal to Earth.
