But this is exactly what Huang wanted to see.
If one can shake the heart of this former god of wind by resorting to unorthodox provocations, then the other party may not be as great as one imagines.
Such provocation was intended to first stir up the guardian beast that had been by his side for a hundred years.
This enables them to become one's driving force at crucial moments.
"This land lacks a shrine,"
"If you're willing to stay, I'll build it for you."
"Of course, in exchange, you need to protect the people living on this land."
Ara's words did not elicit any special emotion from Ichimokuren's eyes; on the contrary, the red dragon beneath his feet became increasingly restless.
It raised its enormous dragon head, as if wanting to say something to its master, but then lowered it sadly.
This is because he knows the nature of the Wind God better than anyone else.
“I said it,”
"I am no longer a god,"
Therefore, I cannot respond to your prayer.
As expected, the master's direct answer caused the disappointment in the Crimson Dragon's eyes to rise undisguisedly.
It wasn't that it felt lost because it had lost a new habitat, but rather because it lacked faith or a source of power.
My gentle master will soon disappear from this world without a sound.
At that time, no one will remember this gentle god.
No one will sing of His deeds of sacrificing His own eyes to protect the people of that region.
"In this world, there is no concept of gods or monsters."
"Therefore, as long as one's wish can be fulfilled, it makes no difference whether one is a god or a monster."
"As I said before, do the gods really answer the prayers of mortals?"
"However, if your final wish is for your summoned beast to disappear in such a desolate way along with you, I will not force you."
This is the killing move that Ara wants to use.
A gentle God is gentle to all living beings except himself.
This undoubtedly includes the summoned beasts that have accompanied them for a long time.
On one side is the Heian-kyo world, which has been completely forgotten, and on the other side is a path that may rekindle hope in their hearts and allow them to continue to achieve their purpose in life.
I hope that all gentle gods are not as foolish as the God of Marriage.
Such words, which lay bare the final outcome with the life of the Red Dragon, ultimately caused the desireless and unambitious Ichimokuren to hesitate for a moment, and he did not directly answer the other party's words.
Having his weakness exposed, he naturally turned his gaze to his old friend at his feet.
At this moment, the crimson Eastern dragon did not whisper anything as before, but instead looked silently at its master, as if to say that no matter what decision the other party made, it would not interfere or regret it.
but,
Even after spending over a hundred years with him, Ichimokuren was still able to find a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.
It's because of the expectation that I can live a good life.
That gaze made him involuntarily begin to question himself.
Do you care about believers?
If you really don't care, why would you sit silently on the eaves of the dilapidated shrine every day, gazing at the stone path that is already covered with moss?
Can you accept letting the dragon die with you?
This is his old companion that has been with him for half a year.
While the other party was pondering, Huang did not disturb them, nor did he analyze anything else.
Even though the Yaksha was almost annihilated by the Aobozu who was under the influence of the Black Flower, and even though the Umi-nin had awakened from his coma and was kneeling silently on the ground, waiting for his orders.
I do not know how long it has been,
When the simple word "good" fell from the sky, Huang knew he had won his bet.
Although exploiting the other person's character flaws and using their weaknesses as bargaining chips is a despicable and shameful tactic, in a sense, it can be considered as extending the lives of both parties.
After all, for a powerful demon like this who doesn't want to maintain its existence by eating human flesh or other demons, the only way left is to form a contract with a human Onmyoji.
The moment he received a response, a faint blue whirlwind image disappeared from the back of Huang's right hand, a pattern that once symbolized his identity as the Wind God.
At the same time, two more summoning quests appeared on the summoning panel, both showing as completed.
【Twilight Butterfly Dance - Mushishi!】
Yokai description: A yokai girl who lives in the forest.
Before emerging from the cocoon, I always felt inferior because of my ugly face.
The thing I look forward to most every day is peeking through the semi-transparent cocoon at the beautiful great monster passing by.
After an unknown period of preparation, she finally broke free from the cocoon that bound her and spread her beautiful wings.
But everything around him had changed beyond recognition.
Even the demon lord he had been waiting for had vanished without a trace.
So much so that he believed it was just a beautiful dream he had woven while he was asleep.
Level: Mountain and Wilderness Tales
Summoning condition: Ichimokuren, the Wind God of the Pact.
Have you ever seen that monster?
【Ancient Fire's First Ripple - Ancient Cage Fire.】
Monster description: A small monster that often appears on mountain paths at night.
The creature had a childlike appearance, was holding a toy, and was stepping on a lamp.
If you get lost on a mountain road, ask him to show you the way.
Although he usually likes to play pranks, he will never abandon you when it really matters.
Level: Mountain and Wilderness Tales
Summoning condition: Ichimokuren, the Wind God of the Pact.
It's very dangerous to be without lights at night!
So, do you need me to lead the way?
Triggering and completing these two summoning quests is not difficult to understand.
Because the former has been searching for the great monster that, when it was still an ugly larva, unknowingly gave it hope of breaking free from its cocoon.
The latter is a small yokai that has always guarded the shrine, and its significance is equivalent to that of the red dragon.
"Then let us all descend together."
As Huang murmured, two spirit arrays constructed from pentagrams appeared.
Compared to the appearance of the previous monsters, they did not have such a grand scale or a fierce competitive spirit.
The direct summoning was also to reassure Ichimokuren so he could stay here with peace of mind.
With such a powerful demon existing, it's no different from having a perfect tailed beast jinchūriki in charge.
"May I ask, esteemed Onmyoji, what are your orders for summoning a lowly yokai like me?"
A timid and delicate voice flowed from the Mushishi's mouth.
She has a delicate and petite face, and two pairs of thin wings flutter gently and rhythmically behind her, which is the fundamental reason why she can walk barefoot without touching the ground.
What is most striking is her right foot, not just because she has just emerged from her cocoon and her demonic power is insufficient, but because everything below her right knee is a false form made up of illusory butterflies.
Compared to the timidity of the Mushishi, the childlike Koro-bi was the first to notice the unusual aura, the abnormal aura, and even the aura that had become clearer!
Standing atop the lantern, he suddenly turned around and saw none other than Lord Ichimokuren, whom he had protected for over a hundred years!
A startled gasp escaped his lips, followed by a surge of joy.
The reappearance of power means that the master he serves has finally found a new life and no longer has to face the predicament of disappearing!
"Would you like to stay in this world, to stay with me?"
"That way, no monster will be able to bully you anymore."
Ignoring the jubilant little firecracker,
Huang looked at the monster girl in front of him and asked.
However, faced with the conditions of this protection, the Mushishi cautiously declined:
"I am very sorry, esteemed Onmyoji."
"I still have a wish that I absolutely must fulfill, so I cannot stay here. Please take me back."
"I will be grateful for the rest of my life."
Her delicate and polite voice evoked a strong protective instinct in people, while leaving them with no reason to refuse.
"Well,"
"But are you sure you don't want to look back before you leave?"
Ara did not insist, but pointed to Ichimokuren standing in the void.
The Mushishi obediently turned around as instructed, treating it merely as a necessary condition for returning home.
But after just one glance, he was stunned.
Tears of emotion welled up in Yu's eyes and slid down her cheeks.
Because that was the very demon she had been searching for!
Chapter 584 Please use me as you see fit, Onmyoji.
