Asura Japanese Mythology Novels & Stories

The raiders began to split into two. My friends and I couldn’t help gawking in terror at the newly appeared enemy marching through the opened path that the cheering raiders created. It was a giant, standing four meters tall and bulky. He looked like an Indian warrior, but his steel armor matched the skin color, like a living metal statue. “My God, what is that?” Katie gasped. The rest of us were trembling. “That’s an Asura,” someone beside her replied. “A brave that can transform into a metal giant.”

The Ashura was a humanoid magical beast with three heads and six arms. The Three forms of the Ashura, as a rank 4 technique, could inherently improve the martial art of a cultivator multiplying her attacks till they reached the number of arms of the Ashura. Each form, on the other hand, had more amazing effects. The First form could increase the number of attacks by a large amount, creating material after-images through the "Breath" of the cultivator. However, fighting in that way comported a heavy burden on the cultivator's mind.

“It is death, Alpha Alaric. Nothing but death. An all consuming, void like death.” My jaw clenched and suddenly a lump appeared on my throat. She continued, “The name Asura is not its true or given name. It is a moniker that stemmed from an ancient language meaning Demon. This being is said to be centuries old, perhaps even older. But its body and wolf bloodline is unknown.” “Wolf bloodline?” I asked. “It was once one of us?” “It was once wolfkin, yes. But it no longer is. Or rather, should no longer be. However, many tales in the past, from a long time ago, depicted Asura as a demonic wolf. Or being able to shift into one.”

However, the creature was so confused that it unconsciously sent a signal to its partner. For a fleeting moment, Asura wondered what the problem could be. However, he trusted that his partner could solve whatever it was. As a result, he cut every connection between the two of them, diverted the source of the energy, and went back to sleep. He needed it to clear his head. ***

"I don't care if you're a murderer, I just want to eat." Then that's when I met Jieun a.k.a Ayu, she's also a Demon assassin and she was the one who recruited me and then I met the four Demon Gods, Demian, Seth, Ruthven and Azazel. They are all living in the underworld. They're Demons but they all look like they live on Mt. Olympus, well, all bad guys are rather good looking handsome or just like me, super good looking pretty handsome. Those ugly ones? They are just good, doing evil things.

Meanwhile, these nine people were also covered in blood mist and, like Aoda, surrounded by demonic energy. Boom, boom, boom, boom— Each of them stopped next to Aoda, all emanating overwhelming airwaves, hovering in the air. Right then, the blood clouds in the sky became even thicker. An endless bloody aura engulfed the small country of Japan like a poison mist. Shura Spiderwoman laughed loudly. “Human, do you think there’s only one Aoda Sasaki? I’ll tell you the truth. The divine lords from Japan’s ten biggest shrines are all members of the Shura tribe. In no time at all, the Shura tribe will be able to return to this world. When the time comes, humans will become the pigs we feed. Hahahaha!

Asura, who was flying towards the village, was startled by the cries of the nine Rakshasas. He saw nine Rakshasas that had different shapes. A crowned snake, a wild boar, a black bull, a white wolf, a thunder tiger, a three-headed dragon, a stone-bodied gorilla, Buto Agni and Buto Ireng. Asura realized that the Rakshasas were his brother Hirayaksa's troops. "Happy hunting them all, Asura!" Hirayaksa shouted loudly and chuckled. He was enjoying his older brother's suffering.

Every single one of them is beautiful like they refer to how strong she is. Amaterasu is the great and glorious goddess who is an embodiment of the rising sun and Japan itself. She is the queen of the Kami means heaven and ruler of the universe, a role she inherited from her father, Izanagi. She is the centre of Shinto and Japan's spiritual life and the sign of keeping the creation in the order. Rowan could find only one connection between the Goddess and this amulet. And it was the Dragon-Fox form of Amaterasu. But these Amaterasu-dragon have been used as reference mostly in Japanese plays rather than mythology. These are just the beliefs of common people.

Because from her conversation, he sensed some kind of hostility from her against the military. At his gesture, she started speaking, "Senior Creed, The ones who ascend from First Glitch get the title of 'Sacred'. The ones that ascend from Second Glitch get the title of 'Ethereal'. The ones that ascend from Third Glitch get the title of 'Demi-God'". And finally, the ones that ascend from Fourth Glitch: 'Satya-Lok' receive the title of 'Apaurushya' or 'God'."

They formed an army and gave the most vicious curse to Caspian. "Sacfice my qi and blood to awaken Asura King!" All the Asuras roared in unison. The blood on their bodies flew out and entered the Eight-armed Asura's body. There was a loud sound of a running river coming from the Eight-armed Shura's body. He stepped on thousands of worlds and rushed toward Caspian. The countless lethal magic treasures burst out a sharp light and attacked fiercely. The sky and earth sank and the sun and moon lost their luster.
