With a hint of excitement, countless tentacles emerged from the gray-white hilt of the Ama-no-Kurakumo sword, burrowing directly into the finger bones of the shrine maiden Tsubaki and spreading upwards.
Shoulders, neck, waist, legs... and everything.
This demon sword, born in the Takamagahara era, has finally obtained the body it has always dreamed of.
And he is the most suitable one throughout history.
Looking coldly at the two figures below, Amazuma could only praise them.
If it weren't for the two of them, it would have taken a lot of effort for it to take over the body of the shrine maiden Tsubaki.
"As a reward, you will all die here!"
The situation took a sudden turn.
An aura far more violent than that of the shrine maiden Tsubaki erupted forth.
The foul air behind them kept gathering, vaguely forming the phantom of a giant serpent that stretched across the sky and earth.
With the most unadorned yet impeccable posture, he pressed down heavily on the ancient straight sword!
The Demon-Slaying Arrow trembled instantly, emitting a violent buzzing sound.
Then.
The burst of spiritual light was instantly crushed by the torrent of purple-black light.
Completely destroying everything in its path.
Unrivaled.
It fell straight down onto the earth.
Rumble!
Kikyo hurriedly reached out to open the barrier, but it shattered in less than an instant.
The sword sheath flew upwards, and the sealing barrier on it unfolded at the same time, but it failed to stop them in the slightest.
At this point, after obtaining the body of the shrine maiden Tsubaki, Ama no Kusanagi had completely broken free from the shackles of the demon sword.
Now, it is a complete and utter monster!
Kujo Toru reluctantly opened his eyes.
He gripped the Divine Blade tightly.
At this point, it no longer matters how much of his spiritual power he has recovered.
There is only one way: possession by a guardian spirit.
Just as he was about to summon the Golden Crow and unleash the full power of this guardian spirit, the foul air in the sky was silently dispelled.
The daytime, which was originally at noon, had somehow turned into night.
A full moon quietly hangs high in the sky.
The whole world seemed to stand still.
The wind, the water, the bellflower, the azure cloud—everything was frozen in place.
Kujo Toru could even clearly see the destructive torrent hanging directly above him.
"Time...has been stopped?"
"Yes."
A clear, melodious voice rang in his ears.
Kujo Toru turned his head and saw a nobleman dressed in white standing beside him with a dashing smile on his face.
It gives people a very strange feeling.
It seems as if I'm standing here, yet it also seems as if there's nowhere to seek medical help! Dad? Silk t (?"Seven) 俬?Five M翏υ?Ⅹ is not here.
Like a gentle breeze, like a bright moon, like flowing water, she is like a solitary individual, yet also like all things in the world.
Although it was our first meeting, I felt a strange sense of familiarity with him.
"This is the Night Eater Plain. How is it? Not bad, right?"
Volume 1: Chapter 179 (4K) Step aside, I'll take over.
The environment has quietly changed.
The jade-white soil replaced the ravaged and utterly destroyed earth.
One after another, towering trees, like ice crystals, stood atop the mountain, reflecting the bright moonlight and transforming the world into a silvery white expanse, a truly magnificent sight.
The noblewoman's long, smooth black hair danced in the night sky.
Barefoot on the ground, yet not a speck of dust sticks to it.
For her, the concept of filth seemed to simply not exist.
Simply by standing here, the foul air in the world is swept away.
Her eyebrows curved into a crescent moon as she smiled at Kujo Toru.
It was like a child showing off his prized possession.
Sensing the ethereal, divine aura emanating from her, Kujo Toru finally remembered why it felt so familiar.
Yukinoshita Yukino!
The divine protection surrounding her was of the same origin as that of the noble person standing before her under the moonlight.
But if the other party is clearly a god from the world of Noragami, why would they grant protection to Yukino Yukinoshita in the real world?
Why did he suddenly appear and interfere in my battle with Ama no Kusanagi?
Since the Warring States period began, not a single one of the eight million gods has appeared.
Unlike in modern times, there's no need for Yato, Kofuku, or Bishamonten to help.
Although in the end it didn't really help much.
A variety of complex speculations swirled in Kujo Toru's mind, but the nobleman before him seemed to see right through him, and the smile on his face seemed to deepen slightly.
"Don't ask, it's impossible to say. I'm a riddle now."
A single, casual remark completely silenced Kujo Toru's doubts.
A long-lost headache surged up, and Toru Kujo really wanted to breathe on it.
Riddlers deserve to die!
However, his troubled appearance seemed to improve the mood of the noblewoman in white.
The proof is that the full moon in the sky became even brighter.
"Since we meet under the moonlight, you can call me Moonlit Night."
"Does something so obvious really need to be explained?"
"So it wasn't needed after all?"
Tsukiyo winked mischievously, which earned her a rather annoyed reply from Kujo Toru:
"unnecessary!"
The Night Eater is also a deity symbolizing the heavens; no matter how you look at it, there can only be one supreme god.
That is, the most mysterious of the three noble sons.
"Okay, okay, if I don't need it, I don't need it."
Despite being a mysterious, pure, and flawless noble person, she wore a "you're so troublesome" expression: "I'm here to help you, can't you be a little nicer?"
Silent.
Kujo Toru simply looked at her quietly without saying a word.
His smile vanished instantly, he sighed softly, and held up three fingers:
"Let me be frank, I'm only going to do three things this time I descend to the mortal realm."
His gaze shifted to the Kusanagi Clouds, which were frozen in mid-air, and his smile vanished.
"The first thing I'll do is help you solve the problem of Ama-Kusanagi."
After saying that, Tsukiyo glanced at him.
Kujo Toru did not respond, but continued listening.
"The second thing is that I've come to give you a gift."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her fair finger and pointed at Kujo Toru's chest.
A streak of light emerged from it, circled once in mid-air, and landed on his shoulder.
Her jade-like, lustrous fur complemented her surroundings perfectly, and her jewel-like, crystal-clear red eyes gazed at the nobleman in white before her.
It is the guardian spirit of the Moon Rabbit.
Since it didn't sense any hostility from Tsukiyomi towards Kujo Toru, it simply observed him with curiosity.
Sensing the pure lunar aura and the scent of a great demon emanating from the Moon Rabbit, Tsukiyo's expression became somewhat subtle:
"May I ask you something? Why haven't you summoned this guy yet?"
Upon hearing this question, Kujo Toru's expression became quite subtle.
He hadn't really activated the Moon Rabbit Guardian Spirit's Ninety-Nine Weapon Mode much; he had always used the Golden Crow Guardian Spirit.
The reason is quite simple.
"Not really needed."
The golden flames of the Golden Crow Guardian Spirit have a strong restraining effect on foul air and can attach to the Divine Blade, greatly enhancing its combat power.
In comparison, the Moon Rabbit Guardian Spirit has a much smaller role.
Because its enhancement is aimed at Yin-Yang techniques.
If Kikyo were to use the Moon Rabbit Guardian Spirit's Tsukumo weapon, it would definitely be incredibly powerful, no less so than the boost the Golden Crow Guardian Spirit would give her.
Unfortunately, Kujo Toru preferred swordsmanship to techniques.
It's not that he lacks the techniques; in fact, he has mastered almost everything, including sealing, barriers, talismans, rituals, paper exorcisms, and the Nine-Character Mantra that accompanies the Divine Blade.
However, these things either require a certain amount of preparation time, or they are not specifically needed except in certain situations.
After all, if spells can subdue monsters and vengeful spirits, he can also subdue them by directly wielding his divine sword, which is simpler and more direct.
Over time, he got used to it.
And it wasn't just him; the previous sword priest of the Seifu Taisha Shrine was also like that.
It can only be said that they are of the same lineage.
"Besides the gift, I'll also give you a powerful spell that will be very useful to you, but how much you learn is up to you."
As she spoke, she glanced suspiciously at Kujo Toru and added:
"You're not impotent, are you?"
Instead of following up on her question, Kujo Toru spoke directly:
"And the third thing? What do you need me to do?"
As the deity who governs the Night Eater Plain, Tsukiyomi has never interfered with Takamagahara or Ashihara no Nakatsukuni, and she rarely appears in mythology.
Kujo Toru didn't think she came specifically for Ama no Kusanagi; it was more like she was just doing it as a side job.
Based on her attitude towards herself, her ultimate goal is self-evident.
"The third thing is a deal."
Tsukiyo's expression finally turned serious.
He stared directly at Kujo Toru.
The girlish charm she had previously exuded vanished completely without a trace.
His entire demeanor changed instantly.
