Mount Fuji, Japan's highest peak and one of the largest active volcanoes in the world, is undoubtedly one of Japan's most iconic existences and a world-famous cultural heritage, with countless people from all over the world visiting this tourist attraction every day, and certainly today.

However, ordinary tourists may not think about it, maybe it is where they see, maybe it is where they stand...... On the other side, something big is happening that shakes the whole world.

Mt. Satofuji!

Of course, Mt. Satofuji is not the name of an event, but a place name, but it is a bit different from a place name in the ordinary sense, because Mt. Satofuji is completely artificially created in a different dimension, not to mention ordinary people, even people in the dark world know about this place.

In a way, the existence of Mt. Sato Fuji is somewhat similar to the forbidden realm, both of which create a virtual space on the basis of the original, but in fact there is an essential difference between the two, because the forbidden realm is to replicate a false environment through the power of individuals, although this environment is exactly the same as the real environment in terms of perception, but in essence it does not exist, once the caster no longer uses power to maintain, the forbidden realm will disappear, and Mt. Rifuji is another space in the real sense...... It's like the front and back sides of a mirror, if Mt. Fuji is the front of the mirror, then Mt. Sato Fuji is the opposite side of the mirror, and ordinary people can't see its existence, but it's really there and won't disappear!

There are many places in this world, most of which were made by the former powerhouses, and of course a small number of them were formed naturally, and then because of the different origins of birth, the form of the inner world is also divided into two types...... The first is like a shadow, depending on the angle of illumination. Its scope and form also change, and it is a very changeable inner realm, which may disappear suddenly, but will reappear soon after, and the strong instability is prohibitive. And the second is the stable inherent space, this one is quite versatile, most of them are controlled by various forces in the dark world, such as the Lost House, one of the seven palaces of the underworld, which is this kind of inner realm.

Even, in the strict sense of the word. The underworld is also an inner realm.

And the one who controls Mt. Satofuji is the Onmyoji Association of Japan.

It will be the largest sacrifice of the Onmyoji Association to date, and the ceremony of resurrecting Abe Haruaki will be held at Mt. Satofuji.

Although Mt. Satofuji is called a mountain, it is actually almost indistinguishable from the real world, except that it is ...... There is no sun in this world, and night does not fall.

This kind of phenomenon that defies common sense is incomprehensible even to the Onmyoji Association that controls it.

Of course, that's not the point. The important thing is that at this moment, on a huge altar, the holy Maiden Sakura Shimokura Yui is wearing a neat and dignified kimono and standing in the center with a blank face, and all the high-ranking members of the Onmyoji Association are lined up around the altar. More than half of them were dressed in black, and even their faces were not exposed.

The head of the Onmyoji Association, Hirasawa Jiuji, is an old man over fifty years old, and his eyebrows show a heroic temperament. He looked at Sakurashita Yui, and then looked up at the infinite sky above him, as if he was a little uneasy. His brows furrowed, and then he asked a man in black beside him, "Holy Envoy, I see that the time is almost up, can you start?" ”

"It's a little closer, the gears haven't been fully fitted yet." The black-clothed man known as the Holy Envoy shook his head, and then said with a smile, "What, is Mr. Hirazawa worried?" ”

"That's true." Hirasawa Jiuji smiled, "After all, this is my long-cherished wish that I have insisted on for thousands of years, after countless hours and countless costs, it is finally time to harvest, at this time, my heart will inevitably be a little shaken, and I always feel that something bad will happen." ”

"So, you humans always think too much, don't worry, Abe Harumi's resurrection is inevitable, and it has come to this point, no matter who can stop it."

"If the Holy Envoy says so, then I will be relieved."

Hirasawa Kuji nodded reassuringly, but at this moment, an onmyoji suddenly appeared around the altar, and quickly ran to Hirasawa Kuji's side in the eyes of everyone, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"What did you say?!" At this moment, Hirasawa Jiuji suddenly changed color, and it was almost a roaring voice.

The onmyoji was obviously frightened, but he didn't seem to dare to speak.

"Is something wrong?" The Holy Envoy asked.

Hirasawa Hikuji hurriedly suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Not long ago, the Tokyo Spell Association launched an attack on my Onmyoji headquarters. ”

"Oh, it did." The Holy Envoy seemed to have known that this would be the case, and there was no surprise in his tone, "After all, for this sacrifice, most of our strength has been invested in Mt. Satofuji, and it is inevitable that the headquarters defense will be hollow, and it is natural for the Tokyo Spell Association to take this opportunity to attack, but ...... Didn't I leave you ten puppets in the headquarters, and even if I couldn't defeat the Tokyo Jujutsu Association, it shouldn't be difficult to resist it, right? ”

"This ......" Hirasawa Kuji suddenly looked embarrassed, and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Although the puppet of the Holy Envoy is indeed powerful, but this time it was Ito Sakura herself who attacked my headquarters, and under her leadership, our Onmyoji have been defeated in a hurry......"

"Ito Sakura, is that the best lackey in the underworld in the past fifty years, known as the demon star who descended to the mortal world?"

"It's her." Hirasawa Kuji nodded, with a worried expression on his face, "Although this woman is young, she is indeed quite capable of doing it, and in less than a few years after her father's death, she completely integrated the Tokyo Spell Association, which was in harmony with the gods, and reversed the situation that had been suppressed by our department, causing our department to suffer heavy losses. ”

"In this way, he is also a character." The Holy Envoy nodded indifferently, as if he didn't care.

And looking at his attitude, Pingze Jiuji is not easy to show weakness, and immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Forget about the past, now just when we are waiting to realize our long-cherished wish, that woman actually came to make trouble again, it is really arrogant, and now there is a holy envoy here." It's a self-defeating one! Envoy-sama, please allow me to send someone to deal with Ito Sakura. ”

"Well, it doesn't have to be that trouble."

"Huh?"

"No matter how strong Ito Sakura is, after all, she is just a mortal, there are puppets on the front line at the headquarters, even if they will collapse in the end, they can resist for a while, and we just need to wait quietly for Abe Harumi to resurrect, at that time, I will fight back again, what will happen to Ito Sakura. It's not up to you to decide, so why waste troops at such a time, and...... We seem to have guests too. ”

The holy envoy said lightly, raising his head, and there was a faint smile in his demonic eyes.

……

"Ito Sakura's attack on the Onmyoji headquarters will somewhat divert their attention, plus the messenger we deliberately let go before, if it goes well, they should send some troops to deal with Ito Sakura. That way, we have a better chance of winning. ”

At the entrance of Mt. Satofuji, with a flash of light, six figures suddenly appeared without warning.

These six people are none other than others. It was Su Bai, the Night, Anna, and the Woe Beauty. Bloody and Yamamoto Taro, while the one who spoke was Anna.

After deciding to stop Abe Harumi's resurrection operation, Su Bai and others discussed the matter in detail with Ito Sakura. However, the Onmyoji Association obviously attaches great importance to this operation, even if the power is as large as the Tokyo Jujutsu Association, and there is Yamamoto Taro, a traitor to the Onmyoji, it will not be able to find out the location of the resurrection of Abe Harumi within three days.

In the end, Su Bai made a bold decision, which was to attack the Onmyoji headquarters.

Since the ritual of resurrecting Abe Harumi is so important to the Onmyoji Association, they will inevitably invest a considerable amount of troops in the process to prevent accidents, and as a result, the defense power of the Onmyoji Association's headquarters will inevitably decline, and as long as the Tokyo Jujutsu Association invests enough strength, it can be brought down in its entirety.

And once things get to this point, the Onmyoji Association will definitely send someone to contact the masters who resurrected Abe Harumi, and then Su Bai and they will naturally be able to reach their destination as long as they follow the messenger.

Then, when the plan began, everything went quite smoothly, and just as the Tokyo Jujutsu Society, led by Sakura Ito, forced the onmyoji to retreat, someone finally escaped from it and rushed to Mt. Fuji...... And Su Bai and the others hid their own aura, followed all the way, and finally came to Mt. Rifuji.

To be honest, this kind of development is perfect to the extreme, but maybe because the plan went so smoothly, Su Bai was not as confident as Anna, and he always felt ...... It's probably too simplistic to think for yourself.

If I were the person in charge of the plan to resurrect Abe Harumi, I would definitely not have transferred troops at this time...... Su Bai thought to himself, of course, he didn't say such a thing, after all, this was just a guess on his part, and everyone had already been prepared for such a situation.

Anyway, no matter how the enemy responds, the actions on their side will never change.

"What's the matter, Brother Yamamoto, you seem to be a little absent-minded?" Walking on the road, Su Bai noticed that Yamamoto Taro's expression was a little weird, and couldn't help asking.

Yamamoto Tairo smiled bitterly, "After all, I am an onmyoji, but now I have to deal with my former companions, and I have a complicated feeling in my heart." ”

"So didn't I say it before, just leave this matter to us, you don't have to participate in this operation at all."

"Nope." Yamamoto Tairo shook his head firmly, "In the end, this is just our Onmyoji's own problem, and it already makes me unhappy to let you help, if I still let me watch from the sidelines, how can I do it." ”

"Well, since that's the case, you can't hesitate any longer."

"Don't worry, when the time comes to start a war, I will give up this unnecessary feeling, after all, this is also for the future of the Onmyoji...... In order to correct the mistakes and darkness of the Onmyoji Association, and in order to make the Onmyoji Association take the right path again, I will definitely not be soft! Yamamoto Taro had a straight face, not so much a promise to Su Bai, but a firm belief in it.

Su Bai nodded, and then looked at the dark night, "Although it is not clear for the time being that the key to their resurrection of Abeqing is not clear, but your strength should be very important, remember to protect yourself when the time comes...... As soon as an enemy appears, you and Bloodti will immediately go into hiding. ”

"I understand."

"And then there's Anna......"

"I don't need to say it." Without waiting for Su Bai to finish speaking, Anna smiled slightly, "I don't think anyone can kill me now." ”

Hearing this, Su Bai smiled and said no more.

At last. Su Bai's gaze fell on the Misfortune Beauty, "Then, the two of us who will attack head-on, everything is up to you, my knight." ”

"Yes!"

……

There is no sun in the sky, the white clouds are still the same, under the light breeze, Sakurashita Kura's clothes and hair are shaking slightly, standing in the center of the altar, she is waiting, but others are waiting for the resurrection. And what she was waiting for was death.

For life, Sakurashita Kura Yui felt that she had no nostalgia, because such a fate had been decided as early as when she was eight years old, and she had already been mentally prepared enough, since death did not come suddenly, then she would not feel terrible.

It's just that at such a time, why is there still a little reluctance in my heart?

Suddenly, Yui Sakurashita remembered her experience on Millionaire's Island. At the time of the initial decision, that experience was just an ordinary trial, just like the previous trials, just to fully prepare for the awakening of the power of the Holy Maiden. It didn't have a special meaning, but it was just that ordinary trial that made her feel something she didn't have before.

Not as a saint. It's about being recognized by others as a person, as a companion. Being able to fight side by side with these people, she can rest assured that she can hand over her back, and her hands are also responsible for the lives of her companions, and she can devote herself wholeheartedly to this life-and-death battle, she does not feel pain, but is very happy.

Because, that's what made her really realize that her life didn't exist for death.

If you could, if you could die there, you would be very satisfied, right?

Thinking of this, a smile suddenly appeared in Sakurashita's eyes, and then this smile turned into loneliness, and she remembered her experience in the ruins...... At that time, she had fully awakened the power of the saint, and was no longer an ordinary human being, but existed as a sacrifice and a prop.

And props don't need emotion, just like cups, like swords, just like those props that people come into contact with on weekdays, as long as they faithfully complete their duties.

So, at that time, I didn't say a word to him, not even a greeting.

Now that I think about it, I regret it a little.

Perhaps, I should say goodbye.

But...... It's okay like you don't bring anything with you when you are alive and you don't take anything with you when you die, as long as you complete this sacrifice, you can be considered completely liberated.

"It's time, the sacrifice begins!"

I don't know whose voice sounded in her ears, Sakurashita Kura Yui didn't listen carefully, because it didn't matter to her at all, watching the huge circular circle in the sky slowly shroud down.

If there is reincarnation, I hope that the next life will no longer be a prop, but as a real human being.

Silently making this wish, Sakurakura Yui slowly closed her eyes.

"Heavenly Dao Sword Two Style-Break the Sky!"

Seeing that the circular circle was about to devour Sakurashita Kurayu, at this moment, a sword light struck from a distance, and when everyone was caught off guard, it instantly penetrated the circular circle, and then with a click, the entire circle shattered.

"Who dares to come here to make trouble!"

"Damn, the circle has been shattered!"

"Who the hell is it! Come out for me? ”

Immediately afterward, there were bursts of anger around the altar.

The circle has been shattered, has anyone come to sabotage this sacrifice? Who is it? Listening to the sounds around her, Sakurashita Kura Yui didn't care, anyway, it had nothing to do with her, did it?

"I'm sorry, but I can't afford to ruin your good deeds, but I can't do it if I want to watch my intended members sacrifice themselves for the resurrection of others."

What is this voice?!

Listening to this nostalgic voice, Sakurashita Kura Yui suddenly opened her eyes and looked around, and soon, not far away, she saw the familiar figure again-Su Bai.

"How is that possible? Why...... Why is it here? Sakurashitakura's eyes widened and she muttered, seemingly unable to comprehend the situation in front of her at all.

In fact, in addition to Su Bai, there were three other people standing opposite, two of them were known by Sakurashita Kura, and the other was very conspicuous although he had never seen it, but at this time, Sakurashita Kura was only looking at Su Bai.

"Humph! Is it the one sent by Sakura Ito, that little girl? Hirasawa Jiuji looked angrily at Su Bai and the four of them, and said in a deep voice, "And, Yamamoto Tairo, you traitor!" Have you forgotten the favor that the Onmyoji Association has given you? ”

"It's because I haven't forgotten that I'm stopping you!" Taro Yamamoto said loudly.

"Hahahaha!" Hirasawa Kuji laughed, "You do have some skills to come here after breaking through the ambush soldiers I planted, but it's too foolish to think that this will stop us, right?" Even if you break the circle, as long as it doesn't end today, the circle can reappear, how many times can you break it? No, you don't have a chance at all, it's just four people, and I don't need to do it myself, as long as it can wipe you out...... Come out, earth spider! ”

As the words fell, a crack suddenly opened in the sky, and then a small mountain-like figure fell with a bang, slamming on the ground, shaking the mountain in an instant, and raising countless smoke and dust.

The smoke and dust came to their faces, and Su Bai and the others instinctively retreated.

After retreating for a distance, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the suddenly appeared figure finally fell out of its original form.

The beast has a huge body, like a hill, with eight legs under its belly, and its appearance is undoubtedly a spider, but it ...... It was so huge, its feet alone were as thick as a century-old tree, and its entire body was unimaginably large.

Just looking at it like this, including those onmyoji, many people felt a terrifying sense of oppression.

And with the monster's roar, the person with insufficient strength fainted directly.

Su Bai frowned, this monster is simply a map cannon, and it doesn't really mean friend or foe.

"Dirt, earth spider! How is this possible? Yamamoto Tairo's face changed greatly, "This guy should be dead, why is he still here?" And...... And it's even bigger than the legend! ”

"Haha, I'm afraid! I have earth spiders, earth spiders, are you afraid of earth spiders! Hirasawa Kuji laughed wildly, "This is the strongest monster in Japan, here in Mount Fuji, its strength will reach twice as much as it was at its peak, you people, you don't even have the qualifications to stuff it between your teeth, hahahahaha!" ”

"This ......" Taro Yamamoto's face turned pale, "Japan's strongest and most terrifying monster earth spider, gods and demons are eaten, everything is feared, no matter what kind of yin and yang magic can not be defeated, no matter what kind of power can not repel it, as long as it is encountered, only the monster that retreats...... How can it be? How could such a guy win! Su Bai, although we have no choice, we must retreat now......"

"No, it's not necessary." Without waiting for Yamamoto Taro to finish speaking, Su Bai snapped his fingers and said lightly, "Let's do it, my knight, give them a dismount first." ”

"Yes." The Misfortune Beauty snorted softly, and rushed forward with the Heavenly Sword Gaia in his hand.

Then I saw a flash of the sword, and the woe beauty had already crossed the earth spider and put the sword back into its sheath.

As the sound of the sheath fell, the huge body of the earth spider was instantly split into countless pieces, and blood burst out, mixed with flesh and mud spilled from the sky.

Standing in the rain of blood, the beauty of the disaster did not have a drop of blood on her body, but tilted her head to look at Hirasawa Jiuji with a blank look, "This is the strongest?" (To be continued......)
