Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Just Wanting to Enslave
"So, unless I give permission, you won't be able to absorb Chakra from this body," Reiji explained calmly, even though his words were filled with power.
Yamata-no-Orochi fell silent, digesting Reiji's explanation.
Although this dragon creature tried to maintain its proud image, Reiji's words touched something deeper within it—something hard to accept.
"So, you mean I can't absorb chakra if you don't allow me?" Yamata-no-Orochi asked with a serious expression, its green eyes glowing like embers, watching Reiji without blinking.
Yamata-no-Orochi's voice echoed in the dark room, like the sound of thousands of hissing snakes in unison.
Reiji merely smiled faintly, full of confidence. "Yes, that's correct." Reiji's answer sounded relaxed, almost careless, yet laden with authority.
Orochi's eyes narrowed, anger beginning to show behind its reptilian face. "What? Doesn't that mean you just want to enslave me?"
Yamata-no-Orochi's voice was now filled with a tone of refusal, its large claws scratching the stone floor, sparking small flames.
Reiji chuckled softly, his tone like someone who had just heard a silly joke. "Of course. If someone has ever killed you and then ends up becoming your slave, isn't that quite extraordinary?"
"What? You're really vengeful, human." Yamata-no-Orochi hissed, its massive tail slamming the floor with a thunderous sound.
Reiji crossed his arms over his chest, looking at Yamata-no-Orochi casually yet sharply. "Why not? You killed me first. Should I just let that go?"
"But you also killed me!" Yamata-no-Orochi retorted in frustration, its giant body shifting restlessly, shaking the room like a small earthquake.
"And that's why we're even, right?" Reiji smiled, his gaze filled with irony.
"However, I'm different from you. I don't forgive anyone who has ever tried to eliminate me. As long as you have killed me, I will seek revenge. That's my principle."
Yamata-no-Orochi growled, its sharp jaws clicking as it restrained its anger. "Damn human!"
Reiji laughed, ignoring Yamata-no-Orochi's fury as if it were nothing more than a passing wind. "So, from now on, you'll be my battery, won't you?" Reiji's tone turned cold, indicating that he was not asking, but demanding.
Yamata-no-Orochi tensed, then grinned with hatred. "Why should I submit to you, weak human?"
Reiji leaned in closer, smiling faintly with a sharp gaze. "Then how about we die together? I could end it right now."
Reiji's fingers began to move as if to stab himself, delivering an undeniable threat.
Yamata-no-Orochi fell silent.
The eyes of Yamata-no-Orochi burned with sharper intensity, but eventually, Yamata-no-Orochi sighed deeply, surrendering to the situation.
"...Damn bastard human." Yamata-no-Orochi's voice was low, almost a murmur, yet filled with hatred.
Reiji laughed heartily, satisfied with the outcome. "Good. You finally understand your position."
After that, both fell silent for a moment. Yamata-no-Orochi stared at the stone wall without saying anything, while Reiji began to observe the surroundings, trying to process the situation.
"By the way," Reiji broke the silence, "Do you know anything about this world? Where we actually are?"
Yamata-no-Orochi turned its head, its large face appearing flat. "This world? I don't know."
Reiji looked at it with a confused expression. "Are you serious? You don't know anything? You've never watched Naruto anime, huh?"
"Anime? What's that?" Yamata-no-Orochi asked with a confused face, its expression a mix of curiosity and disdain.
"What? Do you live in a cave or something? You've never watched anime?"
Reiji looked at it with a sympathetic gaze, though the faint smile on Reiji's face seemed mocking.
"What? Damn human! What's the point of me watching something that humans enjoy like that! Damn bastard human!" Yamata-no-Orochi growled, its voice echoing in the subconscious space, creating vibrations that were almost felt in the air.
