All that's needed is to wait.

Just fine.

...

Amidst the uproar, the night wind blew.

Inside the Goda Church in Misaki City.

Lu Kang sat upright inside, looking up at the high-hanging cross directly opposite the hall. The bright moonlight shone obliquely in from the outside, falling precisely on the top of the cross and illuminating it with a radiant and holy light.

But the boy couldn't help but glance sideways, thinking that the thing that killed the 'Holy Son' had become the Holy Son's representative, which was quite hellish in every way.

He looked at the tall priest praying beneath the cross and asked, "Do members of the secret society still believe in the 'Son of Christ'?"

Wen Bingyongli opened her eyes and respectfully replied, "If you don't believe me, I won't have had the opportunity to be sent abroad."

Even after joining the Vatican, Tantric Buddhism remained an independent branch.

They obey orders but not proclamations. Even as the burial agency of the entire Esoteric Buddhism, they can only do dirty work.

“But you really don’t believe,” Lu Kang laughed. “You don’t believe in ‘Christ’ or ‘Secret Religion’.”

"You only believe what's in your own interest, am I right?"

"Your Majesty's vision is as sharp as a torch." Beneath her seemingly respectful demeanor, Wen Bingyongli's gaze remained remarkably calm. "But this also aligns with the meaning of 'esoteric Buddhism,' doesn't it?"

"Things are accomplished through secrecy, united by righteousness, and guided by profit."

"Everything is finally accomplished."

Lu Kang recited the esoteric Buddhist teachings he had left behind, and slowly stood up: "What you said is indeed correct."

"You may continue to pray to the 'Holy Son' here."

"Next, I will also go and guide them with 'profit'!"

The 'snake' that was meant to lure the snake out of its hole has also appeared—

Before the back mountain.

The end of the road.

A figure paused slightly, raising their eyes to look at the sky.

Then recite a Buddhist chant.

The echoing sound was endlessly alluring.

Boundless allure.

Chapter 158 The So-Called Suspension Bridge Effect: A Rescue at the Spot, and Kuonji Yuzu's "Close Friend"

The city of Misaki was very peaceful that night—or rather, apart from the arrival of Lu Kang and Aozaki Touko seven days ago, and the appearance of Lydel three days ago, the night in this ancient town had been very peaceful.

This night was a rare moment of tranquility, one of countless peaceful nights.

It was so quiet that, although it was late autumn, it was still the tail end of summer and there was no trace of birds. It was so quiet that even the insects in the dense forest seemed to be fast asleep.

It was so quiet that it was almost like 'dead silence'.

Watching Aoko's retreating figure, drowsy and swaying like a zombie under the 'hypnosis' of the magic book left by Lu Kang, Yuzhu, sitting upright on the sofa, glanced at the old clock hanging on the wall. The hands of the clock slowly shifted toward midnight. The dark witch's gaze paused slightly. She picked up the coffee beside her. Surrounded by the thick, deathly silence, she had already sensed something was wrong... and looked at the figure that had appeared on the opposite sofa at some unknown time.

"【Heavenly Demon】...Kichijoin Kihara, is that it?"

"Hmm...we've been found out, huh?"

Responding to Yuzhu's faint murmur was a seductive voice that lingered like ripples expanding, and at the same time, a pair of golden eyes lifted.

This was a rather tall and graceful figure. Her face, framed by thick, long hair, was exquisite and charming. A vermilion mark between her brows gave her an air of both divine compassion and demonic allure. She wore what appeared to be proper black monk's or nun's robes, yet the thick fabric could not conceal her breathtaking figure, which was captivating at the mere sight of her. Her full bosom, slender waist, and curvaceous figure created a striking yet taut contrast, making it impossible for either men or women to look away once they saw her.

It is like a whirlpool, or even more like an abyss.

Kuonji Yuju didn't look up—yet she could clearly sense the dangerous aura of jealousy emanating from him.

The young girl wondered if this was the 'great enemy' Lu Kang had mentioned.

She thought to herself, "Indeed—only danger of this magnitude and standard could make the boy who holds the secrets of 'Louis' go to such lengths to use such methods."

It was all worth it; I managed to get Qingzi away on purpose!

"You are not welcome here."

Youzhu said, "Please leave."

Kichijouin Kihara merely shook her head, looking at the girl whose eyes were slightly lowered, and smiled:

"Aren't you welcome?"

"But the gatekeeper didn't seem to be refusing me!"

No need for her to say.

Aru had already noticed and sensed it—the Kuonji residence, as Aru's long-standing residence, was essentially her 'magic workshop' as a magician. Although fairy tale magic doesn't focus on the construction of the venue, she naturally couldn't be unfamiliar with some basic setups.

However, all those arrangements vanished silently the moment the person appeared before them.

It was as if it had been 'sealed away'.

This method differs from Lu Kang's previous use of a powerful and mysterious approach to directly and violently crush his opponents.

Yet it is equally unfathomable.

It is something that even pearls cannot match.

however.

"really?"

Youzhu suddenly looked up.

He raised a pair of demonic eyes that seemed to be soaked in oil paint, spreading a 'crimson' color.

The moment the red demon eye met the golden demon eye, Kichijoin Kihara was suddenly startled.

She immediately noticed that everything in the hall inside the mansion seemed distorted and warped, as if a canvas had been painted with oil paint, or as if she had been pulled into an oil painting depicting a real landscape.

—PLOY Kickshaw, the monster of the fairy tale, the oil of the moon.

One of the magic tricks involving beads is to cover the world with a canvas and then arbitrarily modify and distort it.

This is also an ability that Youzhu once used on Lu Kang.

Although it had been burned to ashes by Lu Kang, Lu Kang later used his spiritual power to help it be recreated, and added the property that it could regenerate continuously even when only a little bit remained.

Within this canvas, everything will be briefly imbued with the colors of a fairy tale.

Everything will have the ability to act and attack autonomously.

Whether they are living beings or non-living beings.

Whether it's a 'person' or a 'thing'.

In that instant, the entire mansion seemed to be immersed in a fairytale-like otherworld.

The fireplace flames transformed into grinning fire sprites, the clock's gears extended metal tentacles, and even the coffee cups sprouted sharp teeth as they lunged at Qihuang.

"interesting."

In response, Qi Huang merely gave a seemingly compassionate smile and clasped his hands together.

She stared directly into the red-glowing demonic eyes of the 'witch' opposite her—and found it all incredibly interesting to watch the silent 'chantment' that Kuonji Yuzu was silently chanting.

Yuzu's Mystic Eyes were also demonstrated in her battle against Rukan. They are the same type of 'projective control Mystic Eyes' as Orange's, but Yuzu has never used them to control others, but rather to strengthen herself.

In the world activated by the [Oil of the Moon].

And so, within the world of the Moon Oil, the 'Night Feast' unfolds, making the night even darker and the fairytale magic even more powerful.

The beaded magic eye will gain the ability to create 'separation and reunion poems'.

on the basis of.

She can piece together and recombine different fairy tale poems to evolve new abilities and new 'fairy tale monsters'.

It can also disassemble and recombine different 'fairytale monsters' to create even more terrifying beings.

However, as Ayumi silently chanted, and amidst the countless animated fairytale monsters that filled the room, Kichijouin Kihara remained seated motionless on the sofa, even as the sofa beneath her bared its teeth and swung its arms at her from both sides. She simply let out a charming laugh—originating from herself, expanding out an invisible pink glow.

In the next instant, everything melted away, almost like ice dissolving.

The next moment.

The 'Lunar Oil' that smeared the world seemed to be submerged and covered by another, even more terrifying thing.

If Lu Kang's method of breaking the 'Oil of the Moon' was to directly burn it with extreme flames, causing the 'oil' to evaporate and sublimate, then the 'Heavenly Demon's' countermeasure was even more domineering.

She chose to engulf it directly with an even stronger corrosive power.

They chose to 'turn the tables' and then 'take the lead'!

This is the ability of Kichijoin Kihara, called 'Affliction Erosion'. When she was a 'monk' or 'nun', she used this ability to erode the afflictions of many believers, allowing them to escape the sea of ​​suffering. After falling into the 'demon realm', what she can erode is not just afflictions. Or rather, in the eyes of the 'demon realm', everything is affliction, and everything can be eroded.

"You seem to have quite a few worries too!"

As Kichijou-in Kihara spoke, she also caused the layers of rosy light to engulf Yuju's figure as she sat upright.

But the witch, as if she had expected this, had already retreated several steps away.

The girl also swayed in her black skirt.

Three blue robins were released from the pocket of his coat.

The ice crystal domain gracefully fell and crashed into Kichijoin Kihara, but both touched the light that had previously corroded and dissipated.

However, Yuzhu remained calm and unhurried.

She calmly recited the disassembled and reassembled 'disjointed poem' again.

Unhurriedly—the entire room was filled with a thick fog.

Supported by the remaining 'Oil of the Moon' and the still-functioning magic disk 'Feast of the Night'.

She unleashed her final and strongest 'fairytale monster'.

Its name is——

"The Rosehound".

It is a beast lurking in the mist, larger in scale than the purely physical Bridge Giant, enough to cover a street, a mountain, or even a town.

The dense fog finally achieved its countermeasure against the 'erosion of troubles'.

The retreating witch's eyes were bloodshot, and in the blink of an eye, they shattered upon encountering the 'Rosehound'.

"!?"

Although Yuzhu didn't think she could defeat a monster like 'Tenma' that was comparable to Luvist, she was confident that she could at least buy some time by using all her methods.

Just like with Lu Kang before... in the battle of offense and defense, they gained a moment.

This allowed Aoko on the second floor to escape.

This allowed Lu Kang to arrive in exchange for an opportunity.

However, it is quite obvious.

She miscalculated.

"The power of the first fragment of law is indeed very interesting."

"Creating false monsters, beings akin to fantasy species—"

"But unfortunately, these children are of no use to me whatsoever."

Floating jet-black hair.

High-hanging crimson horns.

After the monk's robe was removed, a fair and full 'heavenly demon' figure was revealed, clearly appearing in the sight of Kuonji Yuju.

The girl's pupils trembled violently, her demonic eyes shattered, and thick, scarlet blood dripped from the corners of her eyes.

This also caused her to take a step back.
