In Japan, or the world at large, before the modern era, yokai and other inhuman, powerful creatures were not uncommon.

The further back in time, the more such non-human creatures there are.

However, with the development of human science and technology and the increase in quantity, the living space of non-human organisms has begun to be squeezed.

Whether it's a youkai, a vampire, or a variety of other legendary creatures, they are becoming less and less visible to ordinary humans.

After modern industrialization, monsters have become existential beings that can only be seen in various ancient books.

However, although the youkai are gone, the mysterious side forces that were born to fight against non-human creatures and seek their own development have not disappeared - just like the Onmyoji.

However, the nature of these forces and the various abilities they possess has gradually evolved from the original means of self-preservation against powerful creatures of non-human races to tools of human infighting.

Naturally, various methods of fighting monsters have gradually been lost.

Although there are many ways to deal with spiritual disasters in Tokyo today, and there are still a lot of methods to deal with spiritual disasters and new onmyojitsu are constantly being developed, there are basically no people who can use the various onmyodo techniques that can really be used to fight against youkai.

If it is a youkai that is not strong, then Kawada is confident that he can deal with it with the large number of elite onmyoji who are now gathered under the Tsuchigomon Imperial Mountain.

But the powerful demonic aura exuded by this monster in front of him made Kawada's heart sink straight down.

Heavy clouds were still gathering in the sky.

Whether it is moonlight or starlight, it has completely disappeared.

"Bastard! Isn't it possible that Tokyo will be destroyed again! ”

Kawada clenched his hands into fists, and the blue tendons on his forehead bulged.

"Father!!"

Beside him, the young Genji Kurahashi suddenly exclaimed.

Kawada was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look.

Two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, are rushing towards this direction.

It was the head of the Kurahashi family at the time, Kurahashi Tomoe, and his wife, Kurahashi Miyo, the mother of Kurahashi Genji.

In the Tuyumen house, because of the catastrophic event caused by the luminous light of the Tuyumen, the guide zhì fell. As one of the right-hand men of the Tuyumon family, the Kurahashi family rose to become one of the top families in the Onmyoji world.

"Master Kurahashi, you're here!"

Although Kawada is the supreme governor of the Onmyokai Hall, he still maintains due respect for Kurahashi Tomoe.

What's more, his son Genji Kurahashi is also the next chief of the Yin and Yang Hall that he has designated.

"Chief Kawada, there is no need to gossip. Deal with the events at hand first! ”

Kurahashi Tomoe, who had a powerful voice, didn't say much to greet, and from beginning to end, his eyes were firmly fixed on Yakumo Mo, who was unscrupulously exuding demonic energy in the sky.

"This youkai...... Wrong! ”

"How so?"

Seeing Kurahashi Tomoe make such a judgment, Kawada immediately asked out loud.

"Judging by the powerful aura it exudes, such a monster is recorded in ancient books, even if it is murderous by nature, it should have a very high rationality-"

Speaking of this, Kurahashi Tomoe took a deep breath.

"--But I can feel it from the aura that this monster emanates. There is only destruction, tyranny and madness, without the slightest sense to speak of. ”

"I see......"

Kawada stroked the goatee on his chin.

“…… So, does the head of the Kurahashi family have a way to retreat from the monster in front of him? ”

Facing Kawada's expectant gaze, Kurahashi Tomoe shook his head helplessly.

"Unfortunately, if the glow is still there, he might have a way, I...... No way! ”

"Is the earth gate glowing...... Speaking of which. It's been so long since things happened, why haven't the people of the Tuyumen family shown up yet? ”

There was a hint of anger in Kawada's tone.

"Sir! Father! Mother! That youkai is moving! ”

Genji Kurahashi suddenly interrupted the conversation of Kawada and the others.

◇

A steady stream of negative energy, just like the evil thoughts brought about by the "darkness from another world" that I perceived in the Elemental Spirit Realm. constantly impacting Yakumo Mo's mind.

At the same time, the clear sound of the fantasy young tree is trying to fight it.

My head hurts.

It looks like it's going to crack.

Such a powerful negative energy should definitely not be what the Jade of the Four Souls originally possessed.

Could it be that after leaving the Inuyasha world, this jade bead absorbed other inexplicable things?

Yakumo didn't know, and he didn't have the heart to think about it.

He was concentrating all his strength, trying to maintain the last bit of clarity in the spiritual sea.

Can't faint. You must not faint.

……

In the night sky, Yakumo Mo, whose eyes had completely lost their original clarity, became cloudy, and made a hoarse sound.

The sound of tattered leather rubbing against rusty steel made everyone who heard it feel uncomfortable.

At the foot of Mount Miyama. The onmyoji, who had been waiting for a long time, recited the mantra one after another.

The aura that poured out of each onmyoji began to converge in the sky, eventually forming a huge pentagram.

In the center of the pentagram, countless bands of light flew towards Yakumo Mo.

Yakumo Mo, whose limbs were entangled in the flying ribbon of light, instinctively began to struggle.

However, the seemingly slender band of light that seemed to break at the touch of it was unusually tough, and no matter how Yakumo struggled, he couldn't break free.

"Roar-!!!"

Roaring in the sky, Yakumo's ink robe flew up, the hosta that was originally fixed in a bun on the top of his head was shattered, and his long hair suddenly spread out, because the agitation of demonic power formed a pitch-black curtain behind him.

The sudden burst of demonic power shattered the light ribbon emitted by the pentagram.

Subsequently, instinctively driven, Yakumo began to unleash his abilities as a realm monster with all his strength - even because his output exceeded the current strength limit, Yakumo Mo's body faintly showed signs of collapse.

Under the horrified gaze of all the Onmyoji, the dividing line between the mountains and the sky began to blur and distort.

The earth is shaking, the mountains are disintegrating.

The mountain of the Tsuchigomon family is cracked and shattered as if it were a mirror that could not withstand external forces.

On the top of the mountain, the altar that was originally used as a sacrifice for the king of Mount Tai also collapsed and disappeared.

Scorching magma erupted from the ground, dyeing the night sky, which had been darkened by dark clouds, a fiery red.

The wind was raging, and the howling wind masked the wails of the onmyoji.

"What type of youkai is this!?"

Kawada and the others, who had never seen a realm monster that did not belong to this world, tried their best to suppress the fear in their hearts and stood at the forefront of the Onmyoji army.

They are the spiritual pillars of the group of people behind them.

If even they retreat, there really will be no one to stop this youkai.

"Everyone! Unleash the Ming King's Sealing Technique with me! ”

Kawada raised his right arm high and gave the order.

The onmyoji, who were still persistent, began to condense the spell in their hands, and their mouths were rapidly reciting Sanskrit mantras that ordinary people would never be able to hear.

The spiritual power once again converged in the air, and a phantom of the Ming King began to emerge. (To be continued......)
