How did I, an Onmyoji, become the Lord of Yokai?

There are even better ways to handle it.

Whether this matter can be accomplished if they come is still uncertain.

Despite their doubts, Himiko had already spoken, so how could they possibly refuse?

So, Shimizu Asahi agreed to it.

Upon learning about the matter concerning the village to the east, he subconsciously began to ponder the issues involved.

What brought the eastern village to this state was a sudden plague, and what remains in that village is undoubtedly the plague, and the aura of death derived from it.

The only way to restore that place to its original state is through purification.

Remove anything that obstructs the power of time, and then let time purify it.

They had been wondering what force was hindering the purification, and whether it was some power they had never experienced before. But they never expected it to be the plague itself...

The plague itself possesses power, which is entirely different from the disease it carries.

The latter undoubtedly means that the City of the Sun was merely unintentionally affected, while the former represents deliberate...

Someone is deliberately targeting Ichizakijima!

Only in this way can we explain why the plague from so many years ago still lingers here and has not receded.

To target Himiko and render her power impossible to eliminate... there are very few beings capable of doing this!

Could it be... really her older sister?

A hint of doubt arose in Shimizu Asahi's heart.

Their hands involuntarily clenched together.

"..."

In their silent contemplation, the frozen house had completely vanished, and a huge pit, large enough for three people to jump into together, appeared before them.

"It didn't penetrate the seabed...?"

Refocusing his attention, Qingshui Chaoyang looked at the pit in front of him.

“I didn’t hold back; the power of that attack should have been enough to pierce this island. But now…”

As an existence infinitely close to the realm of a demon king, Shimizu Asahi, even before transforming into a calamity, had already reached the level of a calamity. Piercing through an island would not be difficult for him. However, even with his full strength, the bottom of the island remained intact...

"That's right, the power is down there."

"Let's go down!"

After saying that, Shimizu Asahi was the first to jump down, and the others followed suit.

The group of people, in freefall, were falling at an extremely high speed. Normally, they would have hit the ground in two or three seconds, or even three or four seconds, but...

"Five seconds of falling?"

Our location should already be beyond the island's limits.

Shimizu Asahi subconsciously glanced upwards, and then... his pupils involuntarily contracted.

—The pit above has disappeared!?

What... is going on?

Doubts arose in his mind, and Shimizu Asahi was the first to stop his body.

The paper crane appeared instantly, lifting up its falling body.

"Everyone, wait a minute!"

The six girls who came down with him stopped on the other two paper cranes; they too had realized something was wrong.

"Sure enough, there are still things we don't know about hidden on the island."

Princess Takiyasha gripped her weapon, glanced at the seemingly endless passage below, and murmured, "We should have already entered another dimension."

Stepping into other dimensions is not a strange thing. Both Shimizu Asahi and Takiyasha-hime have had the experience of stepping into other dimensions, so this is not something to be surprised about.

However, stepping into another space will inevitably cause fluctuations, and as beings of their level, they feel it is impossible to ignore such fluctuations.

However, now... they only realized something was wrong after the situation around them became suspicious...

It allows people to silently step into another space, and what's inside is definitely not simple!

With heightened vigilance, everyone turned their gaze downwards.

—The thing below... is not to be trifled with!

"Approach carefully!"

Without saying much, Shimizu Asahi simply uttered this sentence before moving downwards.

Although they didn't know how far they were from the bottom, Shimizu Asahi and his companions dared not move forward quickly and could only proceed cautiously, step by step.

Even though they were being extremely careful, their speed was still very fast in the eyes of ordinary people.

In just a few blinks of an eye, they had covered a distance of over a thousand meters.

The further they went, the more difficult it became for them to breathe, as the air grew thinner.

And... for some reason, they always felt that there was something else in the air.

Is it a trap...?

Such a thought arose in the boy's mind.

Finally, after descending nearly ten thousand meters, they sensed an aura... coming from a very, very far place below... an aura that felt like death!

Everyone's attention was focused, and then, the darkness before their eyes was replaced by light...

At the edge of that vision, a purple light appeared, and that purple light carried the aura of death!

--source!

Almost instantly, the same thought crossed everyone's mind, and then, Shimizu Asahi stopped the paper crane.

"That's the root of the problem, the culprit that has prevented the eastern village from returning to its original state!"

Shimizu Asahi narrowed his eyes slightly. Under normal circumstances, they should rush up and destroy this thing, which was indeed their initial plan.

only......

What's going on here?!

My heart was pounding uncontrollably, as if getting any closer would mean certain death.

"Extraordinary power... Is this the power that even Lady Himiko couldn't resist?"

My body was instinctively gripped by fear. My mind was perfectly clear and my emotions were calm, but the sense of crisis was frantically ringing alarm bells.

It's as if it's saying:

—Get out of here!

This sudden feeling and trembling was something even Shimizu Asahi had never experienced before! Chapter 814 What the hell, this pressure!!!

"This feeling... is something I've never experienced before..."

Pressing her hand against her pounding heart, Shimizu Asahi couldn't help but look at the girls beside her. They seemed to share a telepathic connection, and the moment she looked over, they all looked back at her.

No need for much conversation; just a glance is enough to understand what the other person wants to say.

Same situation, same oppression!

"Just getting close to it evoked these emotions in us... isn't this thing a bit too dangerous?"

Qingshui Chaoyang squinted his eyes.

It's impossible to get close. To be honest, Shimizu Asahi doesn't even know whether he should try to provoke this thing now.

There is no way out now. If his provocation causes this power to erupt in an instant, then among all those present, perhaps only Takiyasha-hime will survive.

—If I'm not mistaken, the power here is the same power that destroyed the City of the Sun eight hundred years ago!

The power that destroyed the entire Sun Wheel City back then, leaving Himiko helpless, is now all gathered here. Once it erupts, it will be another disaster!

"The rising sun!"

Just as Shimizu Asahi was pondering what to do next, a voice suddenly came from the side.

He subconsciously turned around and looked back, and then his eyes met those of Takiyasha-hime.

"I'll give it a try."

She volunteered to go into battle.

Of all the people present, she was the only one capable of surviving the plague. Even if the plague broke out, she could resist it and buy enough time for Shimizu Asahi and the others.

However, the black-haired boy shook his head and refused.

"Wait a minute."

After thinking for a while, he finally raised his hand to stop the girl from trying.

If that thing is truly provoked, the sudden outbreak of plague will likely engulf them, so...

Let's test the waters a little first.

Upon realizing this, a faint chill emanated from his body, gradually moving towards the energy sphere radiating purple light.

If the power doesn't react, they can get a little closer, but if it does react... then they'll have to retreat first.

The chill quickly spread to within a hundred-meter radius of the energy source, but so far, the energy has shown no reaction whatsoever, appearing as if it were dormant.

With a cautious heart, Shimizu Asahi approached to within ten meters...

There was still not much reaction, except that the energy was slightly stronger, as if it was reacting a little to the approach of the cold air.

'Are there already signs of wavering...?'

If the cold air really touches that thing, then revival should be inevitable.

Many ideas came to mind, but Shimizu Asahi rejected them one by one.

This is already their limit; they still can't quite reach that level of power.

"Let's leave here first and wait for Lady Himiko to decide!"
