Ah,

He genuinely didn't understand how that guy could turn against the family that protected him and his own parents who raised him!

However, there is one thing he clearly knows.

Even if it means death,

We will absolutely not let that bastard, that demon, die peacefully!!

"what!!"

A sharp, piercing, inhuman scream erupted at that moment.

The words that reached my ears and the unpleasant images that lingered in my memory suddenly surged up and erupted wildly!

Veins suddenly bulged on the woman's pale, contorted face, and her slender fingers produced a crisp, interlocking sound.

"die!"

"die!"

"die!!"

"Fuck them all!!"

The Bone Woman stopped fleeing and no longer cared about the towering, demonic mist behind the boy.

One step, one breath.

In an instant, he gripped the cold bone blade tightly and approached Huang's body, carrying a surge of resentment.

During this time, whether it was Kyujira, the terracotta warriors, or the monsters hiding in the mist, they all showed signs of rioting.

However, the Onmyoji standing at the very front of their field of vision blocked such a thing with a single hand.

A chilling aura approached, and a sharp bone blade fell close to the boy's neck; a slight lateral deviation would have resulted in a bloodbath.

but,

The Bone Woman strangely stopped moving.

It wasn't because she had been implanted with the Sharingan's genjutsu, but because she saw compassion and empathy in the other person's eyes.

However, just as he was about to dismiss this unnecessary sympathy and inexplicable empathy, the boy in his field of vision spoke up.

"But I can help you."

"Searching high and low, from the heavens to the depths of hell,"

"I will definitely help you find the souls of those bastards and make them pay an eternal price!"

Huang met the woman's resentful and crazed gaze and said firmly, word by word.

And this is not some arrogant statement.

Because he had a pact with the master of the underworld!

Upon hearing this, the woman's hands began to tremble inexplicably, and the ferocity on her face faded slightly at that moment.

However, she did not give in; in fact, an even stronger surge of resentment welled up in her heart at this moment.

once,

That man once made the same vow to her!

but,

But what was the result?!

It was all a lie, and it was the beginning of her nightmare!

The trembling finger bones regained their firmness here, and a touch of crimson stained the bone blade.

Such a striking color made the demonic aura behind it even more frenzied.

It was no longer the monsters like Kyuumei, Hyakki, and Ubume who had already formed bonds with it that were causing the uprising.

This includes the Hundred-Eyed Demon who was injured while gazing into the 'Abyss', the guardian of the Phoenix Forest, the stunningly beautiful girl sitting atop the eerie box, and the Jumping Brother who just arrived carrying a heavy coffin...

They all still have unfulfilled promises to the boy in their sight.

The demonic power gathered by these powerful monsters obscured the sky, causing eerie winds to howl across the land. The Bone Woman, at the center of the vortex, felt as if her entire body was about to be torn apart!

However, this is not a reason for them to stop fighting.

"Die!"

Under such oppression, the woman screamed in agony!

Everything, absolutely everything, is bullying her, targeting her, exploiting her!

This feeling brought back incredibly vivid memories of the past!

However, just as the Bone Woman steeled herself and pressed down the bone blade, she heard the boy's voice again:

"Well, after I help you get revenge."

"If there's nowhere else you want to go, just stay with me."

"Everyone will become your family."

Huang paid no attention to the pain spreading from his neck, the woman's madness, or the slowly fading life force; he simply spoke earnestly about his plans.

Upon hearing this, time and space between him and the Bone Woman seemed to freeze, as the surrounding demonic power raged wildly and countless fierce gazes invaded between them.

However, it cannot interfere in the slightest.

【why? 】

The Bone Woman asked herself a question.

Why talk to yourself like this!

The voice in her heart grew stronger, even reminding her of the initial beauty.

She desperately wanted to tear that scene apart, to remember the hurt she had suffered, and to remember the hatred she could never erase!

At this moment, he just felt so tired.

very tired.

The emptiness that followed her revenge led her astray, causing her to descend into endless killing.

But now, the boy's words stirred a hope in his heart—a hope for the future, a longing to escape hatred.

After all, a long, long, long time ago, I was just a gentle girl.

Can I trust you?

The Bone Woman's eyes were still red, but not in a bloodshot, menacing way; instead, they were a sorrowful, sullen red.

Its voice also lost its previous sharpness and became soft.

Her question was probably not directed at the young man in front of her.

I am asking myself.

Can she still live an ordinary life?

"Yes, I have made an agreement with everyone."

This moment of hesitation stemmed from Ara's memory of Sherry, the yokai who had never spoken of her own wishes.

However, she said:

The next time we meet, I should call her by her real name. I guess that's a promise, right?

'Clap. '

The bone blade fell to the ground, and tears slid down the woman's cheeks.

"what do I need to do?"

The Bone Woman's voice trembled slightly, and there was even a hint of fear in her voice.

after all,

Such a bright future must come at a great cost.

"You don't need to do anything, just stand quietly behind me, trust me wholeheartedly, and lend me your strength."

"From this day forward, your hatred is my hatred, and I will bear the consequences of your blood debts."

Huang answered seriously.

After the words were spoken, there was a long silence.

During this time, the woman's slightly trembling pupils stared straight at the boy in front of her, as if she could hardly believe that this was the price for the exchange.

Only after confirming that these were all the requirements did the Bone Woman respond softly:

"Yes."

"Onmyoji, my lord."

A bone blade mark slowly disappeared on the back of the boy's right hand.

.........

A faint glow rose beneath the newly revealed sky, but the caster seemed somewhat distracted.

"What's wrong, Little Grass?"

"You've been cured."

Huang looked at the little monster beside him, who was pressing her small hand against his neck and still pouring out her power with all her might, and gently reminded her.

However, a hint of doubt flickered in Yu Zhi's eyes, because this little girl always appeared full of energy and shy, so why did she seem a little lost this time?

"Eh!"

"Eh!!"

Upon hearing this reminder, Yingcao instantly snapped out of her daze, her voice rising in pitch, her cute little face flushed with embarrassment.

"S-Sorry!"

She immediately placed her hands on her stomach, bowed deeply, and apologized earnestly. Even the little dandelion tucked in her hair looked wilted.
