Kenjiro?
Lord Ibaraki calls him Kenjiro?
Hoshiguma-Douji was momentarily unable to react.
But after Kamiyagawa drew his sword, he said no more to Hoshiguma.
He locked onto the enemy ahead.
The pitch-black snake deity loomed in the distance like a mountain range, with six eerie heads and a massive tail thrashing wildly.
Compared to when it had just broken through the palace, the Great Snake's body had changed again, now not only merging with the collapsed palace, but the flesh and scales had even spread to devour the entire northern side of Mount Oe Castle.
Bricks, beams, and undispersed monstrous corpses were all absorbed by Ibuki's serpentine body, emerging again in a chaotic mess from the gaps between its scales.
This made its body appear even larger and more bizarre.
To define it as a "snake deity" hardly seemed fitting anymore, for the Shuten Douji before them now resembled a living castle.
Or perhaps one could say, it was Mount Oe itself.
