I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

At the same time, after stepping into this ice chamber, his field of vision expanded, and out of the corner of his eye, Huang also saw something else that existed here.

It was a flower, pure white and crystal clear. Its general shape resembled a snow lotus, with a light mist and wisps of cold air falling on its petals.

One glance is enough to make you unable to look away.

"Eternal Flower".

Huang murmured to himself, and in that instant, his thoughts gained a slight advantage.

Although he had never seen the immortal flower, nor had he heard the old man at the foot of the mountain or Shirley mention this ice flower that could heal all things, he still felt inexplicably certain.

This is precisely what those 'ice sculptures' that stretch from the mountainside to the summit so desperately seek.

The most beautiful flower in the world.

If I owned it...

"Squeak!"

But before Huang's thoughts could continue to expand, a hurried whisper pulled him back to reality, and a pair of tiny paws kept waving and spreading out in front of his eyes, as if trying to block his view and prevent him from looking at the beautiful flower.

And the little guy seemed to have been crying for a long time, his eyes filled with fear and anxiety.

Because the icy, vine-like ice had already spread up to the boy's calves!

If it weren't for the fact that he was still under the spell of being haunted, he would probably have become a solid ice sculpture!

"Feel sorry."

Upon waking, Huang apologized softly, and his gaze was abruptly withdrawn.

Just as he had told the old man at the foot of the mountain, he had no intention of obtaining the flower of immortality. Even though it seemed much closer to pick it than to reach Shirley, and that he could reach it with just a slight deviation in direction and a single step, Huang was still not tempted in any real way.

However, when they noticed the latter's presence, their gaze and mind were involuntarily drawn to and attracted by the flower.

[Perhaps the strange events at Shirakawa-yama were also influenced by this immortal flower.]

"Chirp."

Upon seeing the traveler awaken and begin to walk toward the sleeping girl again, it immediately let out a high-pitched cry.

It seemed as if they were cheering, saying "That's great!"

However, Huang's mood was not so open.

Strength was waning, body temperature was dropping, and every step forward felt like going against the flow of this space, a struggle against this world.

The closer I got to Sherry, the more vivid this feeling became!

[Instantaneous teleportation?]

Even moving was like being stuck in a quagmire, and even space was sealed off; teleportation was a joke.

[Thirty-three ghosts walking at night? 】

You should know that even a snow demon like the Snow Spirit cannot move freely here and cannot escape the fate of being frozen. So how could other demons possibly escape?

Forcibly attempting to communicate with spirits may ultimately result in only one outcome: instantaneous annihilation.

Ara didn't want to implicate the other monsters.

【Word of Power: Guardian?】

[Susanoo?]

All of Ara's power, all of his chakra, everything was used to maintain his own and Yuki's body temperature, and to fight against this icy realm. He simply couldn't use any other power.

Moreover, he was really worried that if such a defensive barrier were used in this ice chamber, it would become a self-imposed prison, an ice and snow prison that could no longer be broken through or bypassed!

Everything that exists here is destined to be frozen.

I do not know how long it has been,

It's rare to hear anything here.

Even the sound of breathing seemed to be frozen; the only sounds that could be heard were the long, intermittent steps and the cracking of ice.

The desolate figure, covered in remnants of ice, struggled to lift his face.

There were less than ten steps left, but even that distance seemed like an eternity away.

His vision began to blur, his breathing became difficult, and the phoenix fire residing within the boy's body seemed to be about to go out!

Is it impossible to reach it?

A pessimistic thought began to creep into Huang's mind.

We probably won't make it.

And in an instant, such thoughts occupied his entire consciousness, overshadowing all other emotions, including the thought of awakening the monster girl.

because,

It has reached its limit.

How could a region where even the phoenix flames are extinguished be trampled upon by mortals? Even gods might not be able to stay here for long.

The power of the phoenix fire was waning, and the shattered ice was once again climbing up Huang's body. The thought of giving up was amplified to its limit in this instant, and even the black and white background in his vision had appeared, which was the road leading to the underworld.

Ears

A rapid, animalistic sound rang out; it was the call of the Snow Wraith.

However, Ara truly had no other power left.

This ice chamber is not only a forbidden zone for humans, but also a tomb for gods!

As if sensing the traveler's intention to give up, the Snow Wraith's cries became mournful and weak.

It knows, it knows.

How cold and icy this place is, how unapproachable that girl is.

but,

but!

The little guy carefully and laboriously lifted his small body off the boy's shoulders.

Its thoughts are much simpler than those of humans.

In the final moments of his life,

It wanted to get just a little closer to that girl, even if it was only a tiny bit.

Huang's eyelids slowly drooped, his body already covered in ice.

Deathly silence and stillness began to fill the ice chamber once again.

But just then, a languid female voice quietly rang out in Huang's sea of ​​consciousness.

So, are you giving up?

“Give up on waking her up.”

【who? 】

The boy's shallow consciousness resonated.

But it doesn't matter who it is anymore.

【give up?】

However, there's nothing we can do about it. With my current strength, how could I possibly defeat them here...?

The boy did not continue speaking.

It seems, just as it said, that it has lost its meaning.

He ultimately overestimated himself and underestimated the true power a regional lord possesses within his own territory.

"so,"

"So, you haven't yet grasped the meaning of wanting to become the lord of demons and monsters."

"The one walking at the front naturally has to consider the safety of the monsters following behind, but don't underestimate their will and awareness if they are truly willing to follow."

"Well, since you've made up your mind,"

"The story had a terrible ending. It gave me something to look forward to, and I don't know how I'm going to brag about it to her now."

The sudden surge of will gradually subsided.

The boy's consciousness slowly sank, as if he were falling into a bottomless, dark sea.

'Glug, glug.'

All I could hear was the sound of bubbles rising.

Ha, I was hoping you could help me out, but I didn't expect to meet you so soon.

[Oh? They actually dared to provoke the Snow Woman, and in her original state at that! She represents the icy chill of this plane. Interesting.]

but,

but!

"Please, please lend me your power! Please awaken the Ice Girl for me! I beg you, my Onmyoji master!"

【who? 】

"Um, although my power is insignificant, please lend me your power, Lord Ara."

【who? 】

"Hey, Lord Ara, please don't end it like this! Otherwise, that little brat Kimimaro won't survive either!"

"Shut up, Qing. Please lend us your power, Lord Ara."

【green?】

"The senior monk said he would take me down the mountain to see the world, but he broke his promise. However, you have shown me the excitement of the world, so please lend me your strength."

[A high-ranking monk?]

"Oh dear, these eyes aren't what I wanted. Besides, how am I supposed to retrieve them from a place like this?"

"That's right, but don't forget, you just owed me a favor, hmph."
