Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

It turns out that Qingji snores when she sleeps. Look at Qingji's petite body, her belly bulges up and down when she snores.

It's kind of interesting; I inexplicably want to watch Qing Ji sleep.

While the three were chatting enthusiastically, many people who were away from them focused their attention on Ike Kanji, who was holding a golden crystal in his hand.

Seeing that the gaze was becoming increasingly piercing, Ike Kanji finally couldn't stand it anymore and simply chose to absorb the golden crystal.

The next second, he was surrounded by a pale golden aura, and he felt his whole body was filled with power!

Sight, hearing, touch... all senses are elevated to an incredible level in an instant!

"Chi Kuan, you..."

Those who know Kanji Ike stop moving forward.

Everyone observing was intently watching the changes in Kanji Ike.

"His aura has become much stronger..." Shijou Tei was slightly taken aback.

He didn't dare use the gold crystal in his hand, but only planned to see if he could take it back to the head of the family.

The eyes of those who did not receive the crystal turned red, and a burning desire suddenly flashed through their minds.

Even if no one knows what Ike Kanji said to the other shore flower, or whether they actually made a deal about souls.

But the effect of that golden crystal was indeed very powerful.

Who wouldn't be tempted?

"Chi Kuan, tell me what happened." Those who were bold enough to know Chi Kuan went over and asked.

Ike Kanji forced a smile: "I can't say..."

The eight hundred nuns who were watching from a distance showed no intention of taking any action.

From beginning to end, she believed that everyone has the right to choose.

She wouldn't interfere unless it would disrupt the mission or directly cause unrest in Kyoto.

Now, she is someone who is atoning for her sins.

Once Kyoto has completely calmed down, she will find a place where she won't disturb others and continue her life.

Before long, people began to transmit information from the center of the altar.

A group of people began attacking the tower as instructed.

In reality, only people like Yaobikuni, Shijo Tei, Kousaka Kyosuke, and Higanbana were capable of attacking the tower; for others, throwing a stone at it would have absolutely no effect.

[Eight thousand, seven thousand, six thousand...five thousand—]

A burly man, casually dressed in arm armor and white trousers, suddenly flew out of the tower.

"So it's you who wanted to hurt my dearest friend?"

"It's Ibaraki-dōji!!" someone shouted.

Yaobikuni, who had seen Ibaraki-dōji once before, was surprised, but still quickly summoned the Peacock Spirit.

A dazzling blue light filled the sky and earth.

The enormous peacock spreads its beautiful tail feathers, like a screen with a magnificent painting slowly unfolding.

Each feather tugged at strands of spiritual energy, instantly forming a magic array.

Tremble!

A terrifying burst of ghostly flames erupted, engulfing a vast area of ​​space.

Even those who were watching from a distance were affected!

"Help, help!"

"what--"

Countless people instinctively ran backward.

Kousaka Kyosuke watched this scene without moving, quietly gathering his strength.

The image of the phantom from the "Shadow of the False God" event in the game immediately came to mind.

The serpent's shadow can create gods and monsters, and this illusion does indeed possess the power of the real body.

It's estimated that it can indeed restore a portion of Ibaraki-doji's power at his peak...

boom! !

An unparalleled, raging, purplish-black ghost flame seemed to engulf the entire world.

The peacock blue light that had resisted the ghost flames and protected everyone remained unmoved.

"Hahaha...Very good!"

The phantom of Ibaraki-doji seemed satisfied that Yaobikuni had withstood his attack, and laughed loudly, his bulging muscles bulging, and even more surging, eerie ghost flames burst forth.

In mid-air, a sinister and terrifying gate seemed to slowly unfold.

Kyosuke Kosaka seized the opportunity.

He vanished from his spot in an instant, and the next moment he appeared behind Ibaraki-dōji.

hiss~

A faint, almost imperceptible tearing sound rang out, and a spherical object rose into the sky.

Ibaraki-dōji, who was still thinking about killing, suddenly woke up and saw a corpse with blood gushing from its neck. In an instant, he realized something.

“That’s right… I’ll lend you a hand.”

As if Ibaraki-dōji had regained his senses, he uttered a word of praise, and then his entire body transformed into specks of light, eventually becoming a streak of light that flew towards Kōsaka Kyōsuke.

Kousaka Kyosuke immediately understood and quickly formed a hand seal to condense a talisman that completely absorbed the bolt of lightning.

"Mr. Cao, thank you so much again this time..."

"so far so good."

In response to Yaobikuni's gratitude, Kousaka Kyosuke humbly offered a word of thanks.

Yaobikuni looked back at the source of the noise, a faint look of helplessness on her beautiful face.

Kyosuke Kosaka looked over as well, and all he felt was that "history keeps repeating itself."

He vividly remembers that during the first test, it was the same; when faced with any danger, everyone panicked and ran backward, causing a stampede as people gathered together.

This time was no different; Ibaraki-doji's phantom didn't harm anyone, yet about half of the people were injured.

This is indeed quite outrageous.

“After all, it possesses a portion of the power of a great demon, so it’s normal for ordinary people to be afraid,” Yaobikuni sighed softly.

Kyosuke Kousaka rubbed his temples: "Isn't it good to teach them a lesson?"

Treatment? We have no plans to do that.

Anyway, if you feel pain and discomfort in your dreams, you won't do anything foolish in the real world.

He stepped toward Qingji, who seemed to want to come over but didn't. He felt that Qingji was a very sensible and good child, and didn't disturb him when she saw him talking about serious matters.

"Qingji, how are you?"

"That's great~ You protected me very well just now~" Qing Ji said happily.

Without realizing it, Kousaka Kyosuke patted Aohime's head.

Qingji nuzzled her head against it with great joy—yes, this is love!

Also, the red spider lily.

Kousaka Kyosuke looked in her direction and immediately saw that she was rescuing someone.

The person he saved was someone he knew, namely Sakayanagi Arisu.

"Even if you try to stay away from danger, it still comes without mercy. If you had a healthy body, you wouldn't have encountered this problem. Did you feel like your heart had stopped just now?"

"Higanbana said softly to Sakayanagi Arisu."

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled as before: "Thank you for your treatment, Miss Kohana."

"Life is short, and you don't have many years left to live. It's good to wait until the last day."

Despite Arisu Sakayanagi's reluctance to discuss the matter, Higanbana remained in a good mood.

Because she saw the behavior of these ordinary, mediocre people.

Long ago, she disliked ordinary mortals, but these people were different, very different, and had much more than those commoners.

Perhaps it's selfish and self-serving, but it can't be considered a heinous crime, yet it seems strangely stupid.

It is exceptionally special.

"May I ask what the effects of that golden crystal are?"

"It can enhance the power of the soul. As for whether it will increase the power of the body, we don't know. We'll have to experiment to find out. Do you want one? I can give you one for free."

"What's free is often the most expensive."

"Oh? What do you mean?"
