The war continued and the country was destroyed.
When Sekiro obtained the Dragon's Tears and returned to Ashina, the country was already in ruins.
Fate is such a coincidence.
When the Imperial Army launched a massive attack under the cover of night and captured Ashina Castle.
The once feared swordsman Ashina Isshin, who had ruled Ashina for forty years and whose name alone was enough to scare the inner court into daring to take action, could not withstand the ravages of time and died of illness on the castle tower.
Yongzhen told Lang that Mikokuro had already gone ahead and was waiting for him in the reed marsh outside Ashina Castle where they had planned to escape.
then.
Going around in circles.
The story returns to the starting point again.
Under the moonlight.
The reeds rustled in the night breeze.
Behind him, flames shot up into the sky from Ashina Castle, and shouts of killing continued.
Genichirō stood opposite the wolf again.
The wolf obtained the red immortal sword, named "Bai Lei".
Genichirō obtained the black Undying Slash from another channel, called "Kaimen".
This was the third time the two of them had met.
From the beginning to the end, the two people's beliefs have never changed. Wolf wants to protect Kuro, and Genichirō wants to protect Ashina.
Perhaps from the perspective of a samurai, Genichirō is not upright, but there is no doubt that he has a passionate love for the land under his feet.
"Come on! Sekiro!"
This was the first time Genichirō called a wolf by this name.
It seemed that he also knew that at this critical moment of life and death, this was the final fateful showdown between him and the wolf.
Boring!!!
When sparks fly again among the reeds!
The final confrontation between the two begins!
However.
Just when the players thought it would be a bloody battle, and had made sufficient preparations, mobilizing all their nerves to fight, they suddenly discovered that -
Genichirō, who was once as insurmountable as a mountain and had tortured them countless times on the castle tower, no longer had the same overwhelming power as before.
His every move was so simple and straightforward, as if one could see through it at a glance.
moment.
The players suddenly realized.
It turns out that they have gone through so many hardships and now they are so strong.
From the instant defeat when he first met Genichirō, to the tough battle on top of the castle tower, to now the ink-splashing slash of the red and black immortal sword on the snow-white reeds.
Genichirō was defeated in the end.
Perhaps at this moment, he also envied the wolf's understanding and the true power of dragon's heritage that the wolf possessed.
But now, none of this matters.
"...Alas, in the end I still couldn't do anything."
The lord who was full of vigor and vitality at that time, now looked miserable with blood all over his body and disheveled hair. Ashina Genichirō sighed softly:
"but,"
"Long Yin can continue the lifeblood of this country,"
"And the long night of Ashina is about to dawn."
Talking!
Then I saw Genichirō holding the black immortal sword across his neck and fighting with all his might!
puff--!!!
Scarlet blood splattered and blood-red mist spread.
Genichirō's sword of immortality is called "Kaimen", which means "open the door to the underworld and call back the dead."
And the next moment!
Click!
Amid the surprise of countless players and the exclamations of countless anchors!
A withered arm slowly stretched out from the thick blood mist, and quickly became fuller at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, the old voice became younger and younger as the hand became more and more plump and strong:
"This is my poor grandson's last wish..."
"And I... must also restore Ashina..."
A man dressed in a blue daimyo's battle uniform actually emerged from Genichirō's body in the form of a cocoon.
Land lightly.
Look back slowly.
Under the moonlight, the embers of the lingering war drifted across his daimyo's helmet, causing screams from the players!
The man who was invincible in the trailer, shouting "The enemy general has been killed by me" under the setting sun, and who guarded Ashina Country with his prestige for forty years is back!
Final Battle!
Sword Master-Issin Ashina!
Moreover, Yi Xin is at the peak of his combat power!
If the previous Sakura Dragon brought unparalleled shock to the players.
Then what the peak focus brings is the intimidation and fear that penetrates the heart!
Because along the way, Isshin, as the soul of this game, can be said to run through the entire game from beginning to end!
His name is known to everyone. As the founding monarch of Ashina Province, this man truly swept the battlefield with his unparalleled fighting power and founded his kingdom!
The most important thing is!
“…Hey, hey, hey, no! Damn it! I learned all my special moves from him! I’m going to hit him with a banana stick hammer!”
In the vast reed marsh!
Teacher Hyo watched Ashina Isshin slowly approaching him and was so scared that he ran away!
The pressure is too strong!
This man, who can be regarded as the strongest fighter in Ashina Country, doesn't even bother to run like other bosses.
He was holding the Door-Opening Immortal Slash and walking towards the players in the rustling reeds. The oppressive feeling he brought was enough to make people's palms sweat!
The audience laughed.
'Teacher Piao was as panicked as a 200-pound child'
"Hahahahahaha, this final boss is really scary."
"This momentum is too strong, fog grass"
"After all, if you hesitate, you will lose."
'Ultimate suffering'
"Don't run away, don't run away. You'll at least be able to take a few hits from me..."
"That's right! Although Isshin is strong, you are not weak either. Go up and fight with him for a few moves..."
"Fight him! Teacher Piao! I believe in you!"
"……"
Seeing the audience’s comments, Teacher Piao’s nervousness gradually eased.
Slowly stop the duo's steps, take a deep breath and regain your fighting spirit!
"Hiss—good!"
With a slap, Teacher Piao stopped, drew his sword, and took a stance:
"Damn it, let him be as strong as he wants..."
Brake! Brake! Puff!
【die】
I haven’t even finished talking yet!
In the blink of an eye, Isshin started with the Iai Ashina Cross Slash and followed it up with a light slash to take PDD away.
There was silence in the live broadcast room for two seconds.
Teacher Piao roared in shock and anger:
"Ya'er, he may be strong, but he is too damn strong!!!"
good!
Although players have seen countless elites and bosses along the way, they have rich combat experience!
Although with Genichirō Ashina, players have clearly felt their own strength and their confidence has doubled!
But now!
In front of Quan Sheng Yi Xin!
They seemed to have become the rookie who stepped into the reed marsh for the first time and was beaten all over the ground!
【Ding! Boring!】
In the first stage, Yixin strolled in the garden leisurely, showing the demeanor of a great general!
Thrust, cross cut, step sideways, and accumulate strength for the attack.
It was clearly just an ordinary move, but it was so fast that it was hard to tell!
What you thought was a cross slash might be Iai, and what you thought was a sweep might be a Dragon Flash!
What seemed like a deadly attack to the players was just a warm-up in Isshin's eyes; he was powerful and graceful.
With the sound of clinking knives, Sister Zhou barely managed to block Yi Xin's two slashes. Just as she was about to fight back, she saw Yi Xin's knife coming back again!
Phew!
Furious voices echoed throughout the live broadcast room:
“Ah—ah—why is he using all fast and slow sword techniques! Can he kill off this delayed sword technique?!”
The audience laughed:
'Sword Saint: This trick is always useful'
"Ashina's special skill! Delayed swordplay!"
"Fuck, this is too hard. It's all fast and slow swords, and it's almost impossible to tell what skills he's going to use."
"It's too cruel. If it weren't for the word 'danger', I don't think Sister Zhou could even step on the knife correctly."
"It feels like Sister Zhou is jumping up and down like a monkey, while the Sword Saint doesn't make any unnecessary movements at all."
"After all, when I took off the clothes of the Sword Saint on the battlefield, Wolf was still a little kid."
'Elegant, so elegant!'
"……"
[Buzz! Boom!]
In the second stage, Isshin shouted with his blood boiling, raised the huge hook-and-sickle spear, jumped high and slammed down heavily!
Holding a knife in his right hand and a sickle in his left, he swept the snow-white reeds across.
The sharp blade combines fast and slow, real and fake, making it difficult to guard against.
The whirring hook-and-sickle spear traveled across the four seas and shook the world.
And the mind that was moving nimbly and agilely in the reed marsh was like an eagle with wings growing out of its ribs, graceful and fierce.
Boring!
A powerful sweep across Pew's chest instantly reduced his health by two-thirds. The huge damage made his legs go weak, and he staggered backwards and fled!
Relying on the experience gained in the first stage, Pew retreated to a distance and prepared to take a blood potion. He knew very well that a swordsman like Yi Xin would not interrupt his sneaky blood replenishment.
"Wait! Wait! Wait for me to drink some blood before I fight you!"
Pew retreated and reached into his arms and took out the gourd.
And at the same time!
He was surprised to find that the Sword Saint not far away also reached into his arms.
However, what the Sword Master took out was not a gourd, but a musket.
Boom boom boom boom!!!
Five consecutive shots!
Pew didn't say a word and fell to the ground and died on the spot!
After being stunned for two seconds, Pew kicked open the motion sensing cabin on the spot, grabbed his hair and roared and sent a telegram in the live broadcast room, his tone full of disbelief!
"I'm f**king you! I'm f**king you!"
"A gun? Did I see that correctly? The Sword Master pulled out a gun?"
"I f**k you, this is the boss you designed? SAM? Huh?"
"Do you want to see what the f*ck he just did to me? Am I in an American elementary school? Why in the Warring States Period would someone suddenly pull out a big f*cking gun and shoot at me f*cking!"
[This live broadcast room has been temporarily banned]
The audience laughed like crazy!
'Young people are in good health and can fall asleep as soon as they lie down'
'Hahahahahahahaha directly ban'
"It's too hell, pew, this guy is really angry and dares to say anything."
'Pull out a gun hahahahahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter'
"Sword Master: If you hesitate, you will lose (pulling a gun)"
'Hahahahahahahahahaha I'm going crazy laughing'
'Too rough'
'Sword Master: Fuck you!'
"This setting is so cheap, it's so funny hahahahaha..."
"……"
[Sizzle! Click!]
The three stages are full of unruly concentration, and every move is so loud that it shakes the sky!
The wildly swirling Immortal Slash swept across and flattened the reeds!
The thunder from the hook-and-sickle spear shook the heaven and earth!
Various unique moves are displayed, including the naginata, the hook sickle, and the musket, and the three weapons take turns to appear!
Ding! Dang! Boring!
The sound of golden bells echoed among the reeds, and the flames of Ashina Castle in the distance shot up into the sky!
The fierce battle made both sides forget where they were at the moment!
Yixin's eyes were filled with enthusiasm and admiration for fighting with a master, while Lang 's eyes were filled with reverence for the former sword master and the determination to guard for victory!
The fall of the Ashina curtain is inevitable!
Well, if that's the case, why not beat him to a pulp in this final battle, and beat him to his heart's content!
Add a bold and passionate touch to the end of this sad era!
Boring——!!!
With the last golden sound resounding through heaven and earth!
Sekiro's blade fiercely pierced Isshin's chest!
A loud shout!
Isshin raised his blade to force Sekiro back, and stumbled for the first time in his life!
The wolf also seized the opportunity, turned around lightly, and slashed forward with the wedge ball in his hand!
Boring!!!
The two blades collided with each other, making a harsh sound of metal friction!
And the next second!
bass!
Then Sekiro shook the blade of his sword, knocking Isshin's arm away, and then -
brake!!!
call--
In an instant!
All the noise of the battlefield seemed to stop at this moment.
Plop.
Behind him, the sound of Isshin falling to his knees was heard.
Smoke drifted in from afar, carrying the smell of the embers of war.
"drink--!!!"
Holding on to the broken body!
The founding monarch who had guarded the peace of Ashina Province for forty years straightened his back and exposed his neck!
The tone of voice is full of heroism!
"Get started!"
laugh--
The blood-red Immortal Slash was unsheathed. Sekiro didn't say much, but just held the sword with both hands, respectfully posed as an kaishakunin, and raised the Immortal Slash high in his hand.
Whoosh——click!
Blood splattered!
And Yi Xin's voice also slowly sounded:
"Well done... Sekiro..."
“…Goodbye.”
Die with honor!
From the beginning to the end, Ichiko knew that Ashina was powerless to recover.
However, he, who was also caught up in the fate, needed to give an explanation to his grandson Genichirō who sacrificed himself.
And now, we can have such a satisfying battle with the wolves.
It’s not a waste of my life.
The sky of Ashina will eventually light up again.
And now, we should enter the underworld with peace of mind and let this era come to an end.
Rustle——
With the complete fall of the Sword Master.
The first ray of sunlight on the distant horizon also blooms.
The wind blowing from the sky passed through the reeds, making a rustling sound.
The wolf slowly held up the injured Jiulang:
"Please take the Dragon's Tears... and the Evergreen Sakura Flower."
Although Jiulang's injuries were not serious, he was also injured by Genichirō's Undying Slash and needed to rest.
So, after taking the medicine given by the wolf, Mimi fell into a deep sleep.
far away.
The sun is rising.
The wolf knelt in the reeds not far from Jiulang, looking at the rising sun in the distance with a deep and calm gaze.
If Jiulang had not transferred the Dragon's Blood to him three years ago, he would have been a corpse long ago.
I'm glad to have met you and become your ninja.
"And this final immortality will be ended by me."
The melodious sound of the flute sounded faintly, carrying with it the gracefulness of the falling curtain of an era and the hope of the rising sun.
We have finally arrived here.
I am willing to die in exchange for you returning to normal life.
The blood-red Undying Sword slowly pressed against his neck. Sekiro took a deep breath, and his usually calm tone trembled slightly, which was rare:
"Please live as a normal person..."
Goodbye, Miko.
Goodbye, Jiulang.
laugh--!!!
Blood splatters! Scattered cherry blossoms dance all over the sky...
Everything returns to silence.
After a long period of silent black screen.
The screen lights up again.
In front of a pitch-black stone tablet, there was a small incense altar and the wedge pill that Sekiro had always hung on his waist.
Yongzhen knelt in front of the grave in the reed marsh with his hands clasped together.
With the rustling sound, a little boy in ordinary clothes and a bamboo hat slowly walked to the tomb. Like Yongzhen, he knelt in front of the tomb and clasped his hands together to worship.
After a moment, Yongzhen turned his head and looked at Jiulang next to him:
“…Are you leaving now?”
"right."
The hat was slowly lifted up, revealing Jiulang's delicate little face.
But it's different from before.
This time, the panic and helplessness in his eyes disappeared.
Instead, there is determination and perseverance for the future:
"I want to live hard as a normal person, and then die."
"…just like my ninja did for me."
Rustle——
A breeze blew through the reeds.
In the sky, the clear and bright sun hangs high, and its soft and warm light spreads over the earth.
As Yongzhen watched, Jiulang walked further and further away.
The reeds that were lifted by the breeze also gradually flew and swirled, and along with the faint sound of the flute, they turned into large silver-white characters:
Sekiro
【Director：SamGu】
【Golden Wind】
【Presented to you】
The game ends here.
But at this moment, this unprecedented game is bringing with it an unprecedented wave of carnival in the gaming circle, surging towards the golden wind!
And at the top of the raging waves is a shining altar!
This altar will jump back and forth repeatedly in countless public opinions in the future, and will be thrown down countless times and lifted up high countless times!
People call it——
The mobile altar of the old thief.
