Crossover Anime: The Bull Demon's Road to Conquest

Page 3

After making a comment, Niu Kun reached out and pulled Miyamoto Rei up. Looking at her tear-streaked face, and then at her evasive yet expectant gaze, he seemed to understand something. She probably saw him as a lifeline.

After a moment's hesitation, Niu Kun, who always loved a sense of ritual, lowered his head and cut off a piece from the long leather belt he used to tie his leather skirt. Then, under Miyamoto Rei's puzzled gaze, he tied that piece of leather belt around her slender neck.

He found this leather skirt in the ruins near the ancient site. It was sturdy but also very old, and seemed to be made of the fur of some kind of magical creature. However, it didn't have any special effect; it only allowed Niu Kun to cover his enormous penis.

"This is probably what...the...something something symptom, I understand!"

Upon hearing Miyamoto Rei's transformation, Niu Kun suddenly realized that the girl in front of him must have been driven to mental illness by excessive fear, and then he had saved her life, which led to her distorted personality.

Miyamoto Rei, meanwhile, tugged at the leather strap around her neck with a puzzled look. Her pretty face contorted with a mixture of laughter and tears, a look of utter bewilderment. Indeed, after a brief period of self-destructive rage, she had chosen to submit to the monster in exchange for a chance to survive.

But... it seems the other party is treating her like a pet or something.

With a sigh, she thought, "Pets it is then... this is for the best." Still filled with fear, Miyamoto Rei's survival instincts were rekindled, and her bottom line unknowingly lowered... to a level she herself was unaware of.

After the deaths of Igo Hisashi and Komuro Takashi, Miyamoto Rei felt like a helpless vine, desperately wanting to find a tall tree to lean on.

Even if... this big tree is a terrifying monster.

However, even though he had accepted Miyamoto Rei, Niu Kun still gestured for her to continue on her own, despite her questioning gaze. This time, however, Miyamoto Rei was no longer as lost and confused as before. Monster may be monster, but she was still... a reliable support.

"So, that's settled then. We'll drive away from the school, then head home one by one to reunite with our families, and finally find a place to settle down and escape the chaos for the long term."

After reading the news report, the three women fell silent for a moment. Then, Saeko Busujima stepped forward again, looking at Saya Takagi, who had suffered the most severe mental blow. As for Shizuka Marikawa, she was still somewhat confused and obviously could not be expected to have any brilliant ideas.

Considering that the car might be blocked by a large number of zombies, Saeko Busujima found the school bus key, took some food, moved the table blocking the door, and went out first with her bamboo sword in hand.

"Hmm? You are..."

Saeko Busujima, who had just stepped out the door, saw a chestnut-haired girl carefully passing by, holding a makeshift wooden gun made from a mop. Their eyes met, and both were taken aback.

"Korea?!"

However, at that moment, Saya Takagi's exclamation rang out from behind Saeko Busujima. Saya Takagi, her face full of joy, stepped past Saeko Busujima and embraced Rei Miyamoto, who was equally surprised.

"Hello, Busujima-senpai. I'm a second-year student and the captain of the spear team, Miyamoto Rei." Upon seeing Busujima Saeko, Miyamoto Rei greeted her with excitement and a touch of nervousness, as if she were meeting an idol.

"Ah, it's Miyamoto-kun. Hey, why are you still wearing that leather cord around your neck?!"

Even a slightly dazed Shizuka Marikawa recognized Rei Miyamoto and greeted her happily.

Chapter Six: The Chase

Upon hearing this, Miyamoto Rei blushed and quickly removed the leather cord she had forgotten to untie. However, out of fear of Niu Kun, she didn't dare to throw it away directly, but instead pretended to casually stuff it into the small pocket on the hem of her skirt.

Miyamoto Rei made up an excuse about the leather rope around her neck, but when Takagi Saya couldn't help but ask about Komuro Takashi again, Miyamoto Rei's expression immediately froze.

After a moment of silence, Miyamoto Rei told Takagi Saya that Komuro Takashi and Igo Hisashi had died from the virus, but she concealed the fact that Komuro Takashi had been beheaded by the monster before the virus took effect.

Perhaps it was because she herself didn't know how to explain how she escaped from that monster. She couldn't very well say that the monster might have let her go because of lust.

Saya Takagi didn't care much about Igo Hisashi's life or death, since they didn't have much interaction. However, she couldn't accept the news of Komuro Takashi's death. Her wide eyes no longer held the joy she felt when she reunited with Miyamoto Rei.

Distraught and dejected, Takagi Saya, like Miyamoto Rei before her, was unable to accept it and even wanted to go to the rooftop to see Komuro Takashi's body with her own eyes. But at that moment, a heavy and strange footstep sound came from the depths of the corridor.

"Notice!"

Saeko Busujima, the most alert of them all, stood in front of them with a serious expression, holding a bamboo sword. Then her pupils dilated as she saw a huge hand gripping the wall at the corner. Immediately afterward, she saw a creature that looked like a minotaur emerge from the corner and appear in the women's field of vision.

A chill suddenly ran through the women's hearts, especially when the minotaur opened its mouth to reveal its sharp, white fangs. An invisible terror spread, shattering the women's psychological defenses.

"Go?! Go now!!"

Without any hesitation or doubt, after just one glance, Saeko Busujima knew she was no match for them, since the Busujima family's swordsmanship did not teach how to deal with monsters.

As for others, it's even less likely; the only hope is that the other party might not act so quickly.

Turning around, Saeko Busujima pulled Shizuka Marikawa up, while also shoving Saya Takagi and Rei Miyamoto. Rei Miyamoto was the second to react, since she had already submitted to Niu Kun, so she was... well, she was one of them, and her fear lessened somewhat.

However, Miyamoto Rei really didn't know Niu Kun's specific plan, so she could only pretend to be as scared as everyone else and run away for her life. Niu Kun chased after her from behind at a leisurely pace. He didn't chase her fast, but he didn't lose her either, like a persistent ghost following her.

Occasional low growls, like a death knell, forced the women to flee even more hastily, but Niu Kun, who was playing the monster... and was indeed the monster, treated it like a vicious cat-and-mouse chase.

Most of the zombies that attacked along the way were killed by Saeko Busujima with a single sword strike, while the zombies that escaped were knocked down by Rei Miyamoto, who was following behind Saeko Busujima, with a mop handle. Saya Takagi then pulled Shizuka Marikawa along to keep up.

Apart from Miyamoto Rei, who had some confidence, the rest of the group exerted almost all their strength. However, even Miyamoto Rei felt more fear than anything else, since she was unsure of what kind of person Niu Kun really was.

Perhaps due to the life-or-death threat, the girls, led by Saeko Busujima, managed to break out of the school building and then, without stopping, ran wildly towards the parking lot.

As a result, more undead were alerted, including some other survivors who were still hiding nearby.

Especially after discovering that Saeko Busujima and her group were heading towards the school bus, some people immediately guessed that they should have the car keys with them. Then, some people started rushing out of their hiding place, wanting to follow them and leave together on the bus.

"Wait a moment!"

"Wait for us!"

"No...don't go, wait...wait!"

The panicked screams attracted more zombies. Some reckless teachers or students were grabbed by the zombies and dismembered while screaming. The horrific scene terrified some people, but there were still some who hoped to seize this opportunity to escape.

Especially when Niu Kun walked out of the teaching building, a great deal of screams of terror erupted. Those dead bodies were already terrifying enough, how could a bull-headed monster appear?

Has the world gone mad?!

Niu Kun followed behind at a leisurely pace, hacking and slashing at the dead bodies blocking his way like he was playing whack-a-mole. However, since Niu Kun was not entirely sure whether the viruses on these dead bodies were harmful to him, he tried his best to avoid being bitten.

Of course, with Niu Kun's current strength, as long as he doesn't do anything reckless, these undead creatures, which are even slower than ordinary people, have no chance of biting him.

On the school bus, Shizuka Marikawa, panting heavily, had already started the engine and was ready to depart, but there were still a few people running towards the bus, which made the girls hesitate, since apart from Shizuka, they were all just high school girls.

Suddenly, Miyamoto Rei saw a figure she hated intensely. Her pupils contracted sharply, and her anger instantly overwhelmed her panic.

"Quick, let's go!"

Rei Miyamoto quickly turned to Shizuka Marikawa and called out. Shizuka was taken aback and then looked at Saeko Busujima. Saeko Busujima didn't know why Rei Miyamoto's emotions had suddenly become agitated.

But considering that the monster was getting close, they didn't care about anything else, so Saeko Busujima nodded and told Shizuka Marikawa to start the car.

"Wait...wait a moment..."

Koichi Fujito felt like his lungs were about to explode. If that minotaur had appeared sooner, he would have preferred to stay hidden in the building rather than risk coming out. If it had appeared later, that would have been even better, as he could have rushed onto the school bus.

But who could have imagined that a ferocious monster would suddenly rush out!

Koichi Fujito could only hope that the people on the school bus were a bit dim-witted, but unfortunately he was disappointed. The school bus suddenly started and tried to abandon the other people who hadn't boarded yet and escape.

Seeing that he might miss the school bus, Fujito Koichi couldn't help but want to curse. In his anger, he pushed another male student in front of him to the ground to attract the zombies' attacks, and then turned around to run to a corner to hide.

Unfortunately, a fire axe fell, splitting Fujiwara Koichi's head open like a hot knife through butter. Niu Kun, as if crushing an ant, didn't pause or even look, quickly trampling over him. [Target killed, initiating target soul energy extraction!]

You have gained 0.7 points of Soul Energy!

"The living have more soul energy than the dead."

Niu Kun silently thought that Komuro Takashi, the protagonist, only had 0.5 units of soul energy left after being killed after becoming a zombie.

"That...that monster is catching up!!"

Inside the school bus, which had just started moving and hadn't gone far, several teachers and male and female students who had rushed aboard exclaimed in surprise and anxiously urged the bus to go faster. However, no matter how much they urged, Shizuka Marikawa couldn't make the school bus speed up like a sports car.

bang~

The school bus crashed through the school fence and rushed onto the road like a frightened wild beast, but at the same time, there was a loud bang and screams of terror erupted from inside the bus.

"Monster...the monster is charging!"

"In the back, in the back..."

"We made it up!!"

Bang~bang~

The rear window of the school bus was smashed with numerous cracks, but fortunately, it was of good quality and was not smashed open directly. Niu Kun, who was clinging to the school bus, felt that he could not exert any strength. He just clicked his tongue and then nimbly climbed onto the roof of the bus again.

Chapter Seven: Shake it off...

However, Niu Kun's landing on the roof was very rough, even causing the school bus to lurch forward, which made everyone inside the bus even more panicked.

"He's on the roof!"

"The monster has climbed onto the roof of the car!"

"Think of a way! Quick, think of a way!"

Everyone in the carriage was shouting haphazardly like headless flies, but Niu Kun, who was on the upper part of the carriage, looked quite relaxed. Most of his targets were already in the carriage, so there was no need to be too anxious.

Niu Kun was enjoying the breeze on the roof of the car, but the inside of the car was in chaos. Out of fear of the monster on the roof, some people wanted to stop the car and escape, but they were stopped by others.

Putting aside the fact that the outside world is full of undead, even if they can avoid the undead, how can they avoid the minotaur that might jump down from the roof of the car to attack them?

Of course, some people might have the selfish thought that they can't outrun the monsters, but they can outrun their companions.

The carriage was noisy, but to everyone's surprise, the monster on the ceiling suddenly went silent. Saya Takagi recovered from her panic and gripped the handle tightly to keep herself from being thrown out.

She first glanced at the seemingly overly calm Miyamoto Rei with some doubt, and then Takagi Saya asked the question to Marikawa Shizuka, who was concentrating on driving.

"School Doctor Juchuan, can you get around the bend and throw that monster off the bus?"

"No, no, this is a school bus, not Xiang's war chariot."

Upon hearing this, Shizuka Kikukawa shook her head repeatedly. Although she could drive a school bus, it was actually quite difficult for her, and the noise inside the bus made her feel even more annoyed, so naturally she couldn't shake Niu Kun off the bus.

However, perhaps Shizuka Marikawa's driving skills were really not good, and there were some haphazardly parked and wrecked vehicles on the road at this time, which caused the school bus to sway back and forth, making it look like Niu Kun was desperately trying to shake off the roof of the bus.

At the very least, Niu Kun on the roof assumed that the people inside the carriage were still trying to struggle. Of course, the more they struggled, the more excited Niu Kun became.

It's unclear whether it's the power of the demon's bloodline influencing Niu Kun, but he's noticed that his mind has become somewhat abnormal without him realizing it. Tsk, this isn't good; he used to be a very nice guy.

Bang~bang~

Several heavy blows were heard on the roof of the vehicle. Looking up, several dents could be seen, and even a faint glimmer of light could be seen shining through. Fortunately, the vehicle was made of steel, so it was not directly smashed through, but this also indicated that the monster was still trying to break in.

"We still need to think of a solution?"

Saeko Busujima glanced at the teachers and students still arguing at the back of the carriage, and couldn't help but feel annoyed. Suppressing the urge to kill them all, Saeko Busujima frowned and said to her companion.

"That monster is too strong. We are no match for it. We must find a way to get rid of it."

"Step on the brake, then start quickly." Saya Takagi thought of a common scene in movies and couldn't help but look at Shizuka Marikawa, who was driving, with anticipation.

"Um, is this okay?" Miyamoto Rei asked with some concern. She was more worried that if she failed to throw Niu Kun off the roof of the car and instead angered him, her little pet, who had only recently become her owner, might also be targeted with his anger.

Although Miyamoto Rei was certain that the monster's owner was lecherous, she wasn't sure if the monster ate people. What if it was a monster that was both lecherous and cannibalistic?!

"If we don't try, and there's a traffic jam later, we'll still be doomed."

Saya Takagi quickly realized that since there were so many illegally parked cars on the road, there might be a place that would be completely blocked at any time. If she didn't try now, there would be no way to stop when she was actually forced to stop.

"We have no choice but to try, Shizuka."

Saeko Busujima hesitated for a moment, then made a decisive decision and said to Shizuka Marikawa with a serious expression.

"Okay...okay."

Shizuka Marikawa, usually so absent-minded, performed exceptionally well this time. Her smooth forehead was covered in glistening beads of sweat. Upon hearing her friend Saeko Busujima's decision, she immediately shouted, "Watch out! We need to stop the car!"

Before the students who were still arguing at the back of the bus could react, the school bus suddenly slowed down and then came to a sudden stop, throwing all the students to the ground like gourds.

Even Saeko Busujima and the other girls, who had already lowered their heads and were gripping the handrail tightly, were suddenly shoved forward and then bounced back. Even Saeko Busujima, who was the strongest, couldn't help but close her eyes and let out a muffled groan of pain.

The screams and shrieks from the back row echoed throughout the carriage. Niu Kun, who was caught off guard on the roof, was indeed thrown out and rolled down the side of the school bus.

"Quick...uh...start it quickly!" Saya Takagi, whose shoulder was sore from the impact, hurriedly got up and shouted.

Shizuka Marikawa, who had only avoided injury thanks to the huge soft 'armor' on her chest, didn't even bother to rub her chest when she heard this. She gritted her teeth, looked up, restarted the school bus, and then stepped on the gas and sped forward.

Most of the people inside the bus were thrown around in a daze, and one of them even collapsed and lay motionless, it was unclear whether he was unconscious or just unlucky enough to die. But in the end, the school bus managed to accelerate and smash through the dead bodies and cars blocking its way.

"Did he...did he get rid of him?" Miyamoto Rei, who had just sat up, looked around the window with a complicated expression, but she couldn't see whether Niu Kun had fallen behind her.

When the school bus started moving again, it hit and ran over several corpses. No one was sure if it had run over the monster, especially since everyone had been thrown about by the sudden stop.

Even Saeko Busujima didn't have time to check on her immediately.

After observing for a while, since the monster's roars had stopped and the sound of the car roof being smashed was gone, it must have been shaken off... So everyone could only continue their journey into the unknown with trepidation on the school bus.

After a thrilling interlude, the school bus quickly drove into the bustling and chaotic city center, only to find itself in near-paralysis and traffic jams.

Just then, the sunlight gradually faded, and a terrifying night enveloped Tokoname City.

As dusk fell, smoke rose intermittently and screams rang out, and the entire city seemed to be in a state of extraordinary chaos. The school bus could not go any further when it reached a convenience store, just as everyone needed to replenish their food and water.

So they decided to work together to collect some supplies from a convenience store. Perhaps because they were missing one of the most troublesome people, even the blond kid in the car didn't dare to act tough in front of Saeko Busujima.
