"I will definitely do it, because you are my most important partner, and no one can replace you."
"Please be patient until then."
"When I come back next time, that will be the time I take you away."
finished,
Ara stood up, with a resolute will and tears still glistening in his eyes, and resolutely walked towards the outer edge of Suzuka Mountain.
The gentle dandelion that remained in place slowly bent its stem and leaves as it watched the figure gradually disappear into the distance, as if silently saying: "May you have great fortune in battle, my Onmyoji master."
As Yingcao moved, all the creatures of Suzuka Mountain slowly bowed their bodies as the human youth passed by.
When Huang emerged from the area where the grass had taken root, the atmosphere between the sea kingdom and the land monsters remained tense and difficult to resolve.
Whether it was the damage caused by their battle or the grass's resentful attitude of repaying kindness, it was a knot in the hearts of both sides that was difficult to untie.
"Ara, you said you'd bring Hotaru back, is that true?"
"Can you really do it?"
Upon seeing the young Onmyoji emerging from the depths of Suzuka Mountain, Kaku went to greet him almost immediately.
Previously, he had also heard about possible solutions from those powerful demons, and knew that Xiaocao had not truly disappeared from this world.
Therefore, the only thing left for the little grass to have hope is to trust the humans in front of it.
But that's an almost impossible task!
"Yes, absolutely."
"I will never give up until the grass recovers!"
Ara responded to the monster girl in front of him.
And it was quite noticeable that after suddenly losing Xiaocao, her whole demeanor changed a lot. Not only did she lose her previous arrogance, but her attitude also became somewhat humble.
After receiving a positive response from the person in front of him, Jue did not say anything immediately. Instead, he tilted his head back and stared intently into Ara's eyes, as if trying to find any perfunctory or evasive answers.
But neither.
He met my gaze directly, without any panic or hesitation.
I dare not conclude that this is yet another layer of disguise by the other party, but at this moment I can only choose to believe.
"I just know."
"I will stay here with Little Grass until you come back and keep your promise."
"If you need my help during this time, feel free to take it."
"I only ask that you, like before, absolutely keep the promises you've made."
"Little grass,"
"Little Grass trusts you and likes you so much."
In the end, she pleaded almost with reluctance and unwillingness.
"Ah."
"I will definitely keep my promise."
Huang responded firmly.
"Suzuka Mountain is the same,"
"If you need any of my strength, I will not refuse."
Just as Jue was retreating from Huang after receiving a satisfactory answer, another voice rang out.
However, the owner of the voice left him unsure of how to react.
Hate?
disdain?
Hatred?
What's the use of these emotions now that the die is cast?
Moreover, fundamentally speaking, they are also victims.
The methods of Yamata no Orochi are not something that can be easily avoided by just anyone.
Looking at the ashamed and guilty Ootengu, Ara, after several internal struggles, finally gave his answer:
"Of course I know,"
"Since you are the young master of Suzuka Mountain, then you should take on this responsibility properly."
His voice remained cold, and he wanted to deliver a sarcastic remark, but ultimately failed to do so.
Most importantly, the power of Suzuka Mountain is indeed one of the key forces reviving the grass.
[Stage Quest: The Revival of the Firefly Grass.]
Task Description: The Firefly Grass, which revived Mount Suzuka by using itself as the source of life, now sleeps alongside the entire Mount Suzuka.
However, as her Onmyoji, you still have the chance to awaken her.
That is to become an existence above all demons, to become the lord of all monsters and spirits who walk before all demons!
At that time, with the help of the great demon, the firefly grass can be revived, and the spiritual energy of Suzuka Mountain can be brought back.
Condition for achievement: Become the master of demons and monsters.
Quest Reward: Obtain the title of Lord of Demons and Monsters!
Mission Status: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons (Not Completed), Contract Formation with Ten Lord-level Demons (Not Completed).
(P.S.: The title "Lord of Demons and Monsters" exerts a suppressive intimidation and deterrence on monsters of any level, and allows the user to freely draw upon the power of the monsters behind them!!)
I am the lord of all demons and monsters, walking before all other spirits!
Among them, the two conditions that need to be met are:
The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is a higher level than the Night Parade of Eighty-Eight Demons.
Arakawa is currently in the Thirty-Three Demon Parade, but thanks to the battle in Arakawa, many small demons in Arakawa, such as Kappa, Juzu, and Koi Spirit, have formed demon contracts with him out of gratitude.
This directly pushes it to the threshold of the Eighty-Eight Demon Parade, where one can achieve the level of the Eighty-Eight Demon Parade simply by communicating with spirits and forming contracts with some demons.
At that time, the final Night Parade of One Hundred Demons will be much easier to reach.
What really made things a bit tricky was making contracts with ten demon lords of the highest rank!
Currently, Takiyasha-hime, who is stationed in the Land of Snow, can be counted as one, and the Forest Lord Yama-kaze and the Gyuki of Tsubame-no-Mt. can barely be counted as two. Others such as Yukari, Ichimokuren, and Yato-gami cannot be included in this category because they have fewer familiars or lack their own combat strength.
If he were to borrow the power of Suzuka Mountain, he would almost certainly gain the assistance of three great yokai!
Aside from Ōtakemaru, the young master of Suzuka Mountain, the other two are Suzuka Gozen, the true master of Suzuka Mountain, and her half-sister, Senhime, the princess of the deep-sea mermaid clan!
As an outsider, Senhime naturally needs Suzuka Gozen's help to get through!
"My Onmyoji, my power is at your disposal."
"This kindness should be repaid with eternal life."
Arakawa no Nushi spoke up at the right moment, and at the same time, a giant fish mark appeared on the back of Arakawa's right hand. Unlike Suzukayama's Ōtakemaru, he did not just make a verbal promise, but took the initiative to use his own demonic power to form a contract, intending to further fulfill his promise.
And this is another being of the level of the Lord of a Hundred Ghosts.
Huang did not refuse the contract that the former had taken the initiative to enter into.
Since obtaining the firefly grass was something he had to achieve, he had no need to be pretentious.
"Big guy."
As the master of Arakawa, he did not hesitate to share his demonic power to sign the contract, and even the Goldfish Princess standing beside him couldn't help but call out softly.
She clearly understood what kind of constraint such a contract meant!
However, this big, clumsy guy still responded without hesitation.
"This time, I also want to thank you."
"No, the entire Arakawa region should thank you."
"I will never look down on you again."
Hearing the worried voice of the Goldfish Princess, Arakawa no Nushi did not pat the little guy's head with his paper fan as usual, but instead gently rubbed it with his rough hands.
However, such encouragement and praise did not make Princess Goldfish, who always craved recognition, feel happy.
Instead, it made him feel even worse.
It wasn't just because of the sleeping grass, nor just because of the monsters that were forever asleep in these waters, but also because of the realization of one's own weakness.
If only I could be a little stronger.
[There's no need to trouble the Onmyoji; we can stop relying solely on the big guy to block the enemy.]
"I'm sorry about the firefly,"
"However, the Seven Corner Mountain lineage will always be there to help you. You can summon me next time you encounter trouble."
In return for the contract established by the Lord of Arakawa, Yamakaze also made his own promise.
He had long ago made a contract with this Onmyoji, but there has always been a slight barrier between them.
Through this battle, he completely acknowledged the young summoner before him.
"Thank you."
"I won't hold back when the time comes."
"Um,"
"Then let's go back."
"........."
Next, Ara accepted all the overtures and recognition from various forces and shikigami without hesitation.
Because gaining the approval and assistance of the contracted demons is an unavoidable and necessary path to becoming the ultimate master of all demons!
When only the Arakawa lineage and the Suzuka Mountain lineage remained in the entire area, Arakawa prepared to return.
