The dragon was about ten meters long, had two horns and a mane, and its body was covered in golden scales. This was the spirit beast of the Tsuchimiyama Family that Natsume Tsuchimiyama controlled — Big Dipper!
"Hiss." Seeing the appearance of the dragon, Yukari subconsciously withdrew her Fire World Curse and subconsciously took a light breath. She turned her head and exchanged glances with Tsuchimiya Kagura who also turned her head to look at her.
This was the first time the two of them saw a real spirit beast that was controlled by someone in this world, and not a "substitute" spirit beast created by the miasma!
"Big Dipper! Stop the enemy — the black spirit beast's attack. Dong 'er, Dalian Temple, create space for Big Dipper's attack! Yukari, Kagura, retreat! "Natsume Tsuchimiyama ordered loudly.
"Yes!" Yukari and the others replied in unison.
Then, Yukari and Tsuchimiya Kagura retreated into the group. Dong 'er, Dalian Temple's Suzuka, and even Tsuchimiyama Haruko's guardian spirit beast — Kun shouted together and used all their skills to create a small gap in the group of black spirit beasts.
Natsume Tsuchimiyama immediately commanded Big Dipper to break through this gap.
Big Dipper didn't use his claws and teeth as weapons. Instead, he directly released a frightening amount of spiritual energy around his body and forcefully broke through the group of spirit beasts. Big Dipper charged through the group of spirit beasts by curling up and shrinking as if he was digging a hole in the ground.
Under Big Dipper's forceful attack, the staircase shook violently as if there was an earthquake, forcing everyone to retreat to a higher staircase to take shelter.
Seeing that the black spirit beast's attack was slowing down, Ada Dong 'er passed the defense to Suzuka's spirit beast. She retreated into the group and returned the staff to Tsuchimiyama Haruko.
"Natsume. What is the other path? "Dong 'er asked.
"The emergency staircase." Natsume answered with a serious expression.
"It's too narrow, it's very dangerous! It's all over if you fall! "Hearing Natsume's answer, Haruko looked at her with a shocked expression and refuted.
The so-called emergency staircase was a type of steel staircase built outside the building. It was often seen in Japanese dramas and anime. It was a place where the protagonists or others secretly met. Under normal circumstances, this staircase was only wide enough for one person. For people who were used to wide staircases, it was indeed a bit narrow. Moreover, it was built on the exterior of the upper echelons. Those without courage would not be able to use it.
However, in that situation, with a vast space around him, it was easier for Big Dipper to display his abilities. Of course, correspondingly, the enemy also attacked them, and they had nowhere to hide. If he was not careful, he would fall off the building and die.
"However, there's no other way." Xia Mu said helplessly.
"Can't we just let Big Dipper carve out a path to the bottom?"
"That won't do. Right now, Seven Dipper and I were sharing the same vision. However, there was no doubt that our Spirit-branded Retainers would bury us if we went down the stairs. Even if Big Dipper could cause chaos, it couldn't wipe out the enemy. Most importantly … Big Dipper can't hold on any longer. "
"Let's move for now. Suzuki-chan's Shikigami won't be able to hold on much longer." Jingzi, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.
"Is that Jingzi's voice?" However, at this moment, a new voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"Vice Chancellor? (Grandmother) "Hearing this voice, everyone except Chiyama Yomi and Tsutomu Kagura couldn't help but open their eyes wide. They subconsciously called out the name that was familiar to them.
Amidst the cries of the crowd, a tricolor cat gracefully appeared in their line of sight.
"Great! Everyone was safe and sound. Hurry up and follow me! "
Before she finished speaking. The tricolor cat passed through the gap left by the crowd and rushed up the stairs.
"Hurry up." The tricolor cat turned around. Seeing that there was no one below, she urged everyone to hurry up.
"Hey, hey — Grandmother!"
"Vice Chancellor! Up there, but … "
Jingzi and Tenma's panicked voices sounded.
"Xia Mu." Spring Tiger handed the decision to Xia Mu.
"Let's go." After a short hesitation, Xia Mu decided. Compared to being the only child, it was better to listen to the advice of the senior vice chancellor. After all, no matter how one looked at it, the vice chancellor wouldn't harm them.
"Dalian Temple, your Spirit-branded Retainers …" Xia Mu looked at Dalian Temple's Suzaku hesitantly.
"Let them stop the enemy and slowly retreat." Dalian Temple's Suzaku decided.
"Yes, I'm counting on you." Xia Mu begged, then turned to the others and said again, "Everyone, follow the vice chancellor's Spirit-branded Retainers. Maintain the formation, don't be careless! "
Then everyone followed the vice chancellor's tricolor cat Spirit-branded Retainers and ran up the stairs.
"Grandmother! What's going on? What happened? "On the way up, Jingzi asked loudly, full of doubts about everything that had happened.
"Ashiya Michio's attack. I guessed that he wouldn't come here … It seems that I miscalculated. The name of Stargazer is crying. "Vice Chancellor Kurahashi Yomi's voice came from the tricolor cat's body.
"What do you mean? Please explain in detail! "Jingzi asked with dissatisfaction.
"Of course, but only after we escape." Kurahashi Yomi's voice was filled with anxiety.
"Master Daomo has already infiltrated the vice chancellor's residence. His Spirit-branded Retainers are all down there. So we have to escape up? But what will happen after we escape up there? What are your considerations? "Xia Mu asked curiously.
"To the rooftop." The vice chancellor replied.
"The rooftop? It's possible to reach the rooftop from the vice chancellor's residence building? "Spring Tiger was surprised.
Of course, he wasn't the only one surprised. The others and Tsutomiya Kagura were also surprised. Ever since they entered the school, they all knew that the elevator could only go up to the rooftop. They had never heard anyone mention anything about the rooftop, so they all thought that there was no way to reach the rooftop.
"That's right." Unexpectedly, the vice chancellor gave an affirmative answer.
"There's a staircase on the rooftop. It's supposed to be off-limits to everyone except me, but now it's an emergency. Use the barrier there … "
"If there was such a method, please tell me earlier!" Jingzi complained with a red face.
The tricolor cat ran forward without any regard for the others' speed. Fortunately, no matter if it was Katsuyama Yomi, Tsutomiyama Kagura, Tsutomiyama Haruka, Ada Don 'er, or even Tsutomiyama Natsume, Kurahashi Kyoko, Hyakuchi Tenma, or Dalian Temple Suzuka, they all followed closely behind the tricolor cat.
But things weren't that simple. Along the way, they had to deal with the obstacles that appeared in front of them. But even so, the Tricolor Cat didn't slow down at all as though the obstacles weren't a problem for the students at all. It continued to charge ahead.
Just like that, under the high-intensity military training, they finally reached the rooftop. However, what appeared in front of them wasn't the staircase or door that they expected. Instead, it was a solid wall.
"Open the door!" Before anyone could say anything, the tricolor cat already yelled.
As the cat yelled, the wall twisted, and then, a steel door appeared on the wall. Obviously, this was the effect of a concealment spell.
"The lock has been unlocked. Open the door." The tricolor cat turned around and said to the students behind it.
Tsutomiyama Haruka consciously walked forward, stretched out his hands, and pushed the steel door open. Then, a staircase that led to the rooftop appeared in front of everyone.
The tricolor cat took the lead and rushed through the door. Seeing this, the others didn't hesitate and quickly followed.
Soon, the staircase was finished. Haruka stepped forward and opened the door in front of them. In an instant, a humid air rushed in from the opened door and enveloped everyone's bodies.
In front of them was a messy environment. They didn't know whether it was ventilation pipes or some other steel pipes that were placed on the ground in a disorderly manner. The thin barbed wire encircled the space like a maze. The tricolor cat was still leading the way, leading everyone forward.
Under the tricolor cat's lead, everyone quickly came to the bottom of a slightly higher platform. They climbed up the stairs erected on the wall to the platform above.
In an instant, an empty space appeared in the line of sight of the people who had ascended the platform one after another. Above them was a boundless gloomy sky. Dark clouds that were brewing rain covered the entire sky. There were no obstacles around them, not even barbed wire to prevent them from falling. There was only a short wall that just touched the ground, allowing them to see far away at a glance.
And in the center of the platform, there was an altar made of four small birds according to a specific layout.
"Everyone, come here!" Just when everyone saw the altar, a voice came from a figure standing at the edge of the altar. That person was none other than the current head teacher of Yin Yang School, Kurahashi Yomi.
Under Kurahashi Yomi's reminder, everyone went down the altar one after another.
"Daitō-ji!" At this moment, Pegasus, who had reached the altar first, shouted. He pulled Daitō-ji's arm and dodged to the side, and fell to the ground.
Behind them, a black shikigami climbed up the stairs to the altar.
Seeing this, Katsuyama Yomi took the Zen staff from Tsuchimikado Haruko's hand, turned around, and swung it like a baseball, and knocked the shikigami down the altar.
But this was only a temporary solution to the crisis, because under the altar and in the space between the altar and the high platform, a large number of black shikigami were constantly filling the empty space, and once again surrounded everyone standing on the altar.
"Close the Sacred Domain, Evil Qi disperse — — Heaven Altar Seal!" Just when everyone was ready, Kurahashi Yomi took out a small mirror from the front of her kimono, raised her hand, and threw it into the air, and opened her mouth to chant an incantation.
Suddenly, a large amount of Reiki gushed out from the mirror, rolling up a whirlpool in the air. Then, like the Reiki in the mirror, the square torii that surrounded the stone stage flashed with four colors of black, blue, red, and white. Together with the yellow light flashing from the mirror, they formed a five-colored barrier, enveloping the entire altar.
