CHAPTER XX

"Xiyuan, what is this?"

Kemu and I stared at the "divine beast" for a long time, but we didn't see what it was.

"This is the eagle!" Xiyuan said, "...... No wonder those Onmyoji are attacking so fiercely, they are so desperate to catch it!"

This "mythical beast" looks like an animal. It has the head and body of a crow, but it's not cute at all, and Abu looks much cuter than he is!

Its black wings were like the wings of a black swan, and its eagle-like talons were sharp at first glance, and the tail of an eel grew at the end of its body.

The eagle in Xiyuan's mouth looks infinitely powerful. It kept pounding into the cage made of spells and rune paper.

From so far away, we could all feel the shaking of the earth.

"What kind of monster is this?"

I listened to these jerky words, and I was secretly estimating the strength of this monster in my heart.

"This monster's personality is very complicated and difficult to understand. Legend has it that as long as it thinks you're a bad person, then you won't be able to live a whole day! Its methods of killing people are extremely cruel, and you have seen the tragedy in that courtyard. But if it thinks you're a good person, then you'll be protected by him for the rest of your life. Therefore, in Japan, there are people who worship it as an object of worship. Yuyuan said, "This youkai is rumored to have been exterminated in the Heian period!

"How serious is it?"

I was amazed.

"Generally speaking, it is easy to destroy its body! But the most troublesome thing is that the disappearance of its body cannot take away its attachment to the world! Its resentment is very angry! It is said that after its body was destroyed by the Onmyoji, it was not long before strange birds with the body of an ape-headed raccoon and a tiger-footed snake tail appeared all over Japan, and they ate crops everywhere like locusts, and even pecked at the imperial food of the Emperor's Cool Hall with impunity!"

"At that time, Miyagi in Heiankyo was suddenly enveloped in black clouds gushing out of the forest outside the castle. Emperor Konoe at the time convened his ministers to discuss countermeasures. Prayers and blessings were proposed, but to no avail. So the ministers elected Minamoto Yorimasa, the first brave samurai in Japan at that time, to subdue demons and eliminate monsters. ”

"Minamoto Yorimasa was ordered to be in danger, so he first went to the town guard society to pray, and then entered Ouchi. When it was ugly, black clouds covered the sky and the sun, and countless birds appeared from the clouds. Minamoto Yorimasa bent his bow and released arrows, reciting the name of "Minami no Hachiman Great Bodhisattva", and shot down the head of the eagle. However, the corpse of the eagle caused the plague and other infectious diseases, and many innocent people died! Therefore, Minamoto Yorimasa ordered it to be put into an empty boat, and it floated down the Kamogawa River into the sea, where it was gone. ”

“......”

Kemu and I could hear it.

"Drifted to the sea?" I said, "and that too...... It's too clean!"

Kemu said, "Yes, but boss!

We were talking almost obliviously to the fierce fighting on the ground.

At this time, almost all the monsters on the ground were wiped out by the Onmyoji.

The little demon captain lay on the ground dying.

"Xiyuan!" I said, "Let's take advantage of the chaos and hurry up!" Anyway, Komu had already hypnotized the three Onmyoji, saying that we didn't come here. They should be working hard to break the enchantment circle now!"

"Yes, Boss, to deal with this trapped beast array, these Onmyoji must work together to cast spells! Boss, listen carefully! They are talking about us!"

Xiyuan's face was calm, and he was listening carefully to their conversation.

The monsters of the entire mansion are all destroyed!

They're deploying the Barrier Breaker to Eradicate Demons.

I suddenly remembered the owner of these monsters: "Where's the old man?"

"There!" Kogi pointed in one direction, "He's like a cat doing things in that room! Could he be some kind of wizard or something? He's doing things at this time, and it's definitely not good!"
