"You all stay here first, and I'll go up the mountain alone."

Looking back, glancing at Louise and the others who wanted to follow, Yakumo shook his head.

"But ......"

Louise wanted to speak and stopped, obviously not worried that Yakumo would go up the mountain alone.

In addition to Louise, Tifania and Shesta followed.

"Lord Yakumo, let me follow too! Shesta is awesome right now! ”

"That、Brother Yakumo......"

"Alright, alright."

Turning around, Yakumo said with a smile.

"You know a little bit about my abilities, don't worry."

Thinking of Yakumo's ghostly ability, the girls were immediately reassured.

"Then, Victoria, they'll ask you to take care of them first."

After asking Victoria, a crack opened under Yakumo's feet, and the whole person sank into it and disappeared.

◇

The sky was shrouded in heavy dark clouds, blocking out the sunlight.

Ground -

It is as if it can melt the whole person.

A howling wind that can tear through the skin.

Highly toxic volcanic ash.

and the criss-crossed lava that began to flow down from the top of the mountain like a serpent.

In such an environment, if an ordinary person is here, he will definitely die in despair.

At some point, a crack suddenly opened in the sky above the annular crater at the top of the mountain.

Yakumo Mo passed through the gap and slowly landed in the crater.

The wind blew the hem of the clothes and hunted, and the long black hair fluttered in all directions.

The whirring wind even drowned out the tinkling sound of the yin-yang jade on Yakumo's ink clothes and long hair.

"Bad environment ......"

sighed. The demonic power unleashed by Yakumo Mo opened, forming a barrier to isolate the wind and volcanic ash.

Subsequently, he stood in the crater. Look down.

The tumbling magma constantly releases heat waves and bright lights, bringing with it a strong smell of death.

"Fire elemental, unusually active."

Even if it was the Dark Elf King, Yakumo Mo could sense the unusual activity of the fire elemental here.

When he first passed here, he was on an empty ship in the sky, which was too far away, and he was not a fire elf king, or even an orthodox elf king, so Yakumo Mo didn't notice the anomaly here.

Now after a reminder from Wokannick. After a closer look, Yakumo also noticed that something was wrong here.

These active fire elements also carry an air of sin and tyranny.

That dark aura of madness that wants to destroy everything.

"Tsk. Although it is not as good as the 'darkness' that drove the elven kings crazy back then, it cannot be ignored. ”

In my ears, the sound of a dragon's groan from the depths of the lava was faintly heard.

As if to warn Yakumo Mo, who was standing in the crater, not to mess around.

This made Yakumo mo's bright eyes narrow slightly.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you be so unscrupulous anymore. So come out obediently. ”

Say so. Yakumo gently lifted his right foot and stomped it down.

The entire main peak, the tumbling and flowing lava suddenly stagnated.

Yakumo's dark eyes gradually radiated a purple glow.

The robes were agitated, the long hair was flying, and the surging demonic power was unscrupulously emanated, and the hurricane that set off even suppressed the originally roaring wind of this mountain range in a short period of time.

As if attracted, the lava in the crater formed a pillar of fire that soared into the sky and flew towards Yakumo Mo, who was standing on the mountain pass.

And then. Yakumo stretched out his right hand, and his slender index finger pointed at the pillar of fire that flew in front of him.

The scorching pillars of lava fire began to twist. Turned into ice crystals in a weird way.

Ice crystals began to spread like a plague throughout the main peak, and not only the lava in the crater, but also the magma that erupted like a river to the foot of the mountain quickly turned from "fire" to "water".

At the foot of the mountain, Louise and the others, Victoria, and the Knights Templar who came with them widened their eyes when they saw this scene.

Only Pache nodded faintly.

"Little Yakumo, this guy, is becoming more and more proficient in the use of the realm."

"Youkai Sage, you have a good brother!"

For Yakumo Mo, many people in Gensokyo have good intentions.

Although they joke with each other on weekdays, they will play a barrage game with each other when they have nothing to do. But they all know that it is because Yakumo Mo keeps coming and going to various worlds that the great barrier of Gensokyo can become more and more stable, so that the paradise they live on can exist forever.

Today's Gensokyo is inseparable from Yakumo Mo.

And their fate is just like the eternal bright red young moon and Remilia? Scarlett once said at the banquet that he was already with Gensokyo.

Therefore, seeing Yakumo grow up, Patchouli will also be happy.

The lava of the entire main peak quickly turned into ice.

Heavy dark clouds in the sky cracked a gap, and sunlight passed through it, shining on Yakumo Mo's body.

The heat wave that enveloped the entire main peak began to dissipate.

It's just that the "calamity" lurking under the volcano has not moved.

"Still not out yet? Then I'll stimulate you a little more. ”

His right hand reached into the gap that suddenly opened beside him and took out the parasol.

Aiming at the crater, which had been frozen in ice, the demonic power condensed at the tip of the umbrella began to shine brightly.

The space around them was faintly distorted by the sheer amount of energy.

When the energy condenses to a critical point,

"Boom!!"

The magic cannon roared, and the earth shook.

The waves of air that rushed to the sky completely blew away the dark clouds in the sky.

The shock wave caused even the people in the Holy Sect camp at the foot of the mountain to turn on their backs, and even made the ordinary residents of the nearby town panic all day long.

"M-Q!! This guy ...... Won't it converge a bit? ”

Pache opened the magic barrier to protect Louise and Victoria, and the others suddenly turned black.

"Yakumo, Yakumo is amazing!"

"Was that caused by Lord Yakumo?"

"Oh my God......

After the bombardment ended, starting from the ice of the crater, a large crater appeared in front of Yakumo Moyan.

The crater is like a black hole, as if it wants to suck everything in.

When everything calmed down, the sound of a dragon roared again from the crater.

This time, the voice was heard clearly even by the people at the foot of the mountain.

Vittorio's face immediately changed, and he immediately directed the Templars to begin their march towards the mountain.

"Sister Norregi, shall we go too?"

Louise turned to look at Pache Valley.

Although I wanted to say that it was useless for you to go, looking at Louise's earnest gaze, Patchouli pursed her lips and nodded in agreement.

Just as everyone stepped on the mountain road, the main peak of the entire Fire Dragon Mountain Range began to vibrate.

"What's going on!"

"Is there an earthquake!?"

The Templars were panicked, but under the command of Victoria and Julio, they were able to calm down in the shortest possible time.

"Look!!" Louise suddenly pointed to the top of the mountain.

There-

Soaring, black-red pillars of fire rose into the sky. (To be continued......)
