He sneaked in, first ambushed me with a knife, then chased after me and slashed at me relentlessly, even hiding a knife to continue his sneak attacks.

What exactly is going on with your purification ritual at Seipu Taisha Shrine?!

The black raccoon felt wronged.

Is it wrong for me to just want to perform a few human sacrifices?

Is it wrong for me to just want to break the seal and gain freedom?

But all that responded to it was Kujo Tetsu's indifferent face.

The moonlight was dim.

The blade gleamed brightly.

The two sharp blades seemed to be cleaving through the heavy night.

One was aimed at the head.

One of them pierces the heart directly.

Just then, Mizutani, who had been lying on the rock a moment before, suddenly appeared between the two.

Without any obstruction, the blade pierced straight into the flesh.

Fresh blood gushed out.

The head flew backwards.

Mizutani's headless corpse collapsed to the ground.

His wide eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion.

Volume 1: Chapter 58 The Ceremony Begins (Supplement to Yesterday's Chapter)

A boring trick.

Mizutani's sudden and tragic death did not shake Kujo Toru's mind in the slightest.

He flipped his left wrist and planted the holy remains in the ground.

He then formed the Immovable King Mudra with one hand, and spiritual energy surged within his body.

"Approaching".

Kujo Toru finally uttered his first words after entering the Mortal World.

The wind stopped.

The bleeding stopped.

Time seemed to stand still throughout the world.

creak.

One after another, dark cracks covered the sky.

Then.

The false world collapsed.

After that, the first thing that caught his eye was a furry, sharp claw.

The sharp fingernails, carrying a dark, foul aura, aimed straight for his heart.

And it's already very close.

Kujo Toru could even feel the chill emanating from above.

The black raccoon's smile was quite rampant.

The ghostly butterfly overhead had vanished.

It is a monster of the Tanuki clan and has lived for over two hundred years.

Over the years, countless people have tried to subdue it.

Samurai, mage, onmyoji, shrine maiden...

Yet it still lived well, and was even worshipped, with a Black Wildcat Shrine built for it, becoming a deity.

It was never because of its military strength that it was able to do all this.

On the contrary, apart from the eccentric martial arts fighter, the Tanuki clan has no one who is good at fighting.

What truly allowed it to survive the human encirclement was its illusion magic and its control over people's hearts.

Even the bandit swordsman back then was forced to use the sealing method because he was worried that if he killed it, it would be resurrected by the body of a witch and then completely infiltrate human society.

And it had already guessed where Kujo Toru's weakness lay.

The green bean-shaped eyes sparkled with an unusual light.

It acknowledges that, under the suppression of the seal, it is no match for Kujo Toru in terms of direct combat power.

but!

The humans you were trying to save were killed by your own hands... Even if you could discover it was an illusion, such a huge shock should have caused you to hesitate for a moment, right?

And this is my chance!

Black Fox was filled with excitement.

His mouth parted into a grin, revealing sharp, white teeth.

As its claws drew closer to Kujo Tetsu's heart, its mind began to stir.

The blood of a person with spiritual power should be able to break the seal directly.

And so.

A flash of light appeared.

The claws fell limply to the ground.

The viscous liquid flowed out from the cut, turning into black mist and dissipating.

Black Fox stared blankly at its empty right hand, lost in thought.

It really started to wonder who the monster was.

No way, you killed someone without even a moment's hesitation?!

The sound of whistling wind reached my ears.

Out of the corner of its eye, a snow-white sword light was approaching it.

Black Tanuki didn't have time to criticize Kujo Toru's inhuman behavior; she rolled on the ground and barely dodged the sword.

He let out a cry of pain.

The entire right arm was separated from it and exploded before it even hit the ground.

They transformed into a swarm of jet-black butterflies and pounced on Kujo Toru.

It itself quickly retreated two steps, its body disintegrating into a cloud of black mist, and flew towards the main hall.

No, this guy is no longer human.

Let's talk about it later.

The opponent's strength is far inferior to that of the swordsman from back then. As long as it sneaks into the main hall and hides again in the ordinary world, Kujo Tetsu will have no way to find it.

But Kujo Toru's actions were much faster than it had imagined.

Almost the instant the butterflies burst open, a light sword talisman was tossed from between his fingers.

It burned up rapidly in mid-air.

next moment.

Sword energy swept across the sky.

The ghost butterflies were wiped out in an instant.

As the black mist conjured by the black raccoon was about to enter the main hall, Kujo Toru formed hand seals.

From the moment he entered this mortal realm, he began to prepare for the ritual.

A ritual that is completely beyond his current capabilities and can only be accomplished by relying on the seal left behind by the previous swordsman.

Now, the time is ripe.

His entire body was filled with surging spiritual energy, and his qi was surging.

Azure spiritual energy emanated from beneath his feet.

They gradually connected all the sealing nodes.

Then.

The entire mountain forest was shaking.

The world seems to be on the verge of collapse.

One after another, beams of azure light shot into the sky.

Like stars rushing backwards, like ten thousand swords descending upon the world.

A deep blue bellflower print stretches across the night sky.

Nine characters were slowly flowing around it.

Eternal.

mystery.

Mizutani lay there blankly on the rock, his pupils reflecting the scene in the night sky.

This is a magnificence that you can never see, no matter how many movies you watch or how many games you play.

Humans cannot imagine things they have never seen.

For ordinary people who have always lived in the surface world, the scene before them is no different from a myth.

And not just in the ordinary world.

In the present world.

Hidden in the darkness and utter silence of Shuangqiu Mountain, it suddenly began to shake violently.

"earthquake!"

Upon feeling the tremor, the campsite manager instinctively dropped his phone and scrambled out of the makeshift barracks.

Then what came into his view was the sight of dozens of pillars of spiritual energy shooting into the sky and the Kikyo Seal covering the entire Twin Hills!

Along the stream, on the mountainside, in the forest, in the soil...

Wherever Kujo Toru had buried the gohei, beams of light shot into the sky.

"What are all these things...?"

The administrator murmured to himself, his brain already refusing to think.

The mountains and forests were still trembling.

Half of the night sky was lit up.

Such a commotion affected nearly half of the eight streets of the city.

One lamp after another was lit.

People in their pajamas crowded around the windows, looking towards Shuangqiu Mountain.

Even more extreme, some people rushed into the street, took out their phones, and started filming.

The police station was also alerted.

Police cars with red and blue flashing lights sped through the streets.

Upon noticing the unusual phenomenon, their first reaction was to evacuate the population.

That's something the higher-ups need to figure out.
