Amidst the intermittent demon attacks, it was dawn in the blink of an eye. Just as the sun rose from the east, in a place not far from the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, a dragon's roar resounded through the sky. Then, a long green dragon appeared in the sky. It had the whiskers of a tiger, the tail of a hyena, the body of a snake, the scales of a fish, the horns of a deer, and the claws of a dragon eagle. It was circling in the sky.
"That's the Azure Dragon Shikigami of the Ampere Family!" Looking at the long dragon circling in the sky, the Matsuo Society's head cried out in shock.
"Is that the Azure Dragon, one of the twelve shikigami used by Mr. Ampere Seimei? It's actually been passed down. "Hearing the Matsuo Society's head cry out, Eriko, who had already guessed this, also said in shock.
"Since they used the Azure Dragon, it means that the Ampere Family's situation is not optimistic. It seems that the main target of this demon attack is the Ampere Family, but I don't know what they're looking for." Sei Itō looked at the Azure Dragon in the sky with a strange yet excited gaze and said.
He was excited because as a descendant of Yan and Huang, Sei Itō saw the legendary dragon for the first time with his own eyes. Moreover, it was the Azure Dragon, one of the four divine spirits in myths and legends. It was enough to make any descendant of Yan and Huang excited. He was strange because such a great existence would actually become a shikigami controlled by someone else. Even if it was just a form created by a strand of thought in this world, it made Sei Itō feel a strong sense of dissonance from his heart.
Just as Sei Itō was in a strange yet excited mood, the Azure Dragon suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a stream of water, which turned into a rain of arrows in midair. They flew downwards.
And after the rain of water arrows, a blurry face the size of a car appeared. It was completely formed by Yao Qi. Its head was at the same level as the Azure Dragon in the sky. Its body was full of tangled muscles, its skin was dark gray, and it had five pairs of dark blue eyes. Four crisscrossing sharp teeth protruded from its bloody mouth. A demon with five antelope-like curved horns on its head appeared in the field, confronting the Azure Dragon.
"What's that?" Sei Itō turned to ask Eriko.
"I don't know." Eriko frowned and thought for a while. She did not have any information about this monster. He shook his head and said.
"Mr. Matsuo, do you know?" Sei Itō looked at Mr. Matsuo again.
"This is also my first time seeing it." Matsuo Society's head also shook his head.
The monster made up entirely of Demonic Qi roared and stretched out its hand. Boundless Demonic Qi gathered in the middle of the monster's hand to form a curved saber. It roared and slashed at the Azure Dragon hovering in front of it.
Seeing the monster's attack, the Azure Dragon felt that its dignity as one of the four spirits was being challenged. After a long roar, the Azure Dragon swayed its body and quickly escaped from the monster's blade. Like a snake, the Azure Dragon coiled around the monster's body and tore it with its claws.
With just one swipe, a large amount of Demonic Qi was released from the Azure Dragon's claws. Then, a large amount of Demonic Qi gushed out from the monster's body to make up for it.
Although the monster was made up entirely of Demonic Qi and did not have any flesh and blood, the Demonic Qi still made the monster feel pain. The monster roared. It reached out its hand to grab the Azure Dragon's slender neck.
The Azure Dragon swayed its head and immediately dodged the monster's grab. At the same time, its long tail whipped the monster's back with great force. A large amount of Demonic Qi was released from the spot where the monster was whipped.
"Roar!" The monster roared angrily and slashed the curved saber in its hand continuously. Blades made of demonic aura instantly slashed out in all directions, slashing at the Azure Dragon who did not dodge completely due to its slender body. Streams of bright red blood flowed out from the places cut by the demonic aura, turning into spiritual rain in the air and falling to the ground.
"Roar!" The Azure Dragon cried out in pain. It opened its mouth and bit the monster's arm. At the same time, its two front claws scratched at the monster's arm. The dragon's tail quickly and continuously whipped the monster's body.
The monster roared and raised the bitten arm to its mouth. It opened its bloody mouth and bit down on the Azure Dragon's back. With a "puchi" sound, a large piece of flesh on the Azure Dragon's back was immediately bitten off by the monster. It chewed and swallowed into its mouth.
"Roar!" The Azure Dragon roared in pain and shook its head violently. It also bit off a large amount of Demonic Qi from the monster's arm. After the Demonic Qi dissipated in the air, it opened its mouth and gathered a ball of water in front of the dragon's mouth. Then, it sprayed it at the monster.
"Boom!" The water ball directly hit the monster's big face, and the four spiritual energies contained in the water ball instantly burned a large area of the monster's big face. Of the five pairs of blue eyes, six of them were burned blind, and pitch-black liquid flowed out of them.
The monster raised its head and roared loudly. The five curved horns on the top of its head suddenly emitted streaks of lightning. In an instant, the five curved horns shot into the sky and turned into a pitch-black thunderbolt that struck the Azure Dragon's body.
"Crackle crackle …" The pitch-black thunderbolt immediately flowed on the Azure Dragon's body, shattering a large area of the scales on the surface of the Azure Dragon's body. It burned the flesh under the scales and caused the Azure Dragon pain.
As soon as the first thunderbolt ended, another four thunderbolts struck down one after another. The Azure Dragon's already heavily injured body was electrocuted, and a large amount of spiritual blood gushed out of the Azure Dragon's body. It turned into spiritual rain and fell to the ground.
"Roar!" The Azure Dragon roared weakly. However, its dignity as one of the four spiritual beings made it even angrier. It twisted its long body and rushed toward the monster again. {{}{}
The monster roared and swung its machete at the Azure Dragon. The Azure Dragon, who was already heavily injured, could not dodge the monster's machete. The machete left a deep wound on the Azure Dragon's tail, so deep that the bone could be seen.
"Roar!" The Azure Dragon roared and rushed to the front of the monster. Suddenly, it turned into a stream of green water and shot toward the monster's chest. A large amount of water hit the monster's chest and caused a large area of damage. A large amount of demonic aura came out of the wound and dissipated.
The Azure Dragon, who had returned to its dragon form, was even weaker. It could not even maintain its physical form. It appeared and disappeared in front of the monster. On the other hand, the monster grabbed with its injured hand. A pitch-black ball of demonic aura appeared in the monster's palm. It threw it into the sky. On the Azure Dragon, who was panting heavily.
"Boom!" A violent explosion came from the Azure Dragon's body. The Azure Dragon's body flew toward the buildings below like a cannonball.
"Boom!" Another loud sound. A large amount of smoke and dust rose from the place where the Azure Dragon landed.
Seeing that the monster did not stop, it opened its bloody mouth. A ball of demonic aura gathered in front of its mouth. In an instant, it turned into a stream of light and shot toward the Azure Dragon.
"Boom!" An even louder sound came from a large amount of smoke and dust.
"Roar!" The Azure Dragon let out a mournful cry. Then, it fell silent.
At this moment. After killing the Azure Dragon, the monster waved the curved sword in its hand and slashed at the ground in front of it. Not long after the blade went down, the monster's body trembled. Then, it turned into countless streams of demonic aura and retreated to the ground.
"It seems that the Ampere family has lost." Eriko said with a regretful expression.
"I guess so." Sei Itō nodded. "It won't be long before the demons retreat. After all, they got what they wanted."
Sure enough, not long after. The thick foul air in the sky above the Capital suddenly dissipated, leaving only a faint layer that still shrouded the sky above the Capital. It seemed that the demons who had achieved their goal had retreated.
"Phew …" Seeing this, Matsuo Taisha let out a long sigh. His face was full of fatigue.
For the next day, except for a few demons that happened to pass by the Matsuo Taisha, they did not encounter any serious attacks. The entire Capital was no different from before, except for the fact that there was no city enchantment protection and a small number of demons on the streets. But whether it was Sei Itō, Eriko, or Matsuo Taisha and other relevant people in the Capital, they all knew. The real storm was coming. Otherwise, the demons would destroy the city enchantment and attack the Ampere family with great fanfare. Was it a joke?
In this oppressive calm, three days passed in the blink of an eye …
At around eleven o 'clock at night, according to the ancient time in China, the dark foul air column that had not changed since the golden light column covered in Sanskrit suddenly expanded. In a very short time, it absorbed all the remaining foul air in the sky. Then, it quickly retracted into the ground.
The moment the column of foul energy disappeared, the ground, which had been shaking slightly, suddenly shook violently, like a magnitude 9 earthquake, spreading to more than half of Japan.
"Ow!" A baby-like cry came from the night sky. The unprepared special people once again turned pale and vomited blood. This time, even some people at the peak of C-class were among them, showing how powerful the sound of the soul was.
"Mother, are you okay?" Sei Itō quickly reached out to support the pale Eriko and asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Eriko frowned and shook her head.
Sei Itō saw this and knew that Eriko was comforting him. He immediately waved his right hand in the room, and a large number of talismans flew out from his sleeve and covered the walls of the room. Then, Sei Itō's hands quickly formed the Nine Syllables Hand Seal, and yelled at the wall in front of him, "Form!"
The talismans pasted on the walls immediately flashed with a red light, connected to protect the room, and then disappeared into the walls of the room.
"Ow!" Just as Sei Itō finished setting up the barrier, another roar came out, and the red light barrier that had disappeared appeared again, shaking violently.
"It seems that the previous demon attack was to get the sealed item in the Abe family's possession, and now the monster should be unsealed." Sei Itō looked at the violently shaking red light barrier, and said to Eriko, whose complexion was gradually recovering.
"Yes, it seems that this disaster is unavoidable." Eriko said with a sigh.
"Mother, why don't you and big sister come with me and Reina from now on? Don't cling to the family business of Benshan. That way, even if something happens, I won't worry about you." Sei Itō took the opportunity to say.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Eriko shouted at Sei Itō with displeasure, "Benshan is the family business of our Ito family that has been passed down for more than two hundred years. How can we give it up just like that? Don't talk such childish nonsense."
"But mother, you have seen the situation in Japan now. Demons are everywhere. This time, a [Peeping Beast] appeared, who knows if the next one will be a Nine-Tailed Fox or Tamamo no Mae. If it really appears, with Tamamo no Mae's resentment towards Tokyo, as long as it appears, our family will be affected. What should we do then? Count on the Ministry of the Environment? Or count on the Shrine? Or count on the Abe family that once sealed the Nine-Tailed Fox? "Sei Itō continued, and issued a series of questions.
"…" Eriko listened to Sei Itō's questions and couldn't help but be silent.
Seeing this, Sei Itō continued to add fuel to the fire, "Also, this demon incident has been strange from the beginning. Let's not talk about the organization that once attacked us and now disappeared. Let's talk about the group of international mercenaries when the enchantment of Kyoto was destroyed a few days ago. When did the demons invite international mercenaries when they caused trouble? Is there no one else behind this? When the time comes, they feel that a [Peeping Beast] is not enough and really release the Nine-Tailed Fox? Or even the legendary Yamata Matsura that is suppressed in Mount Fuji that no one knows if it exists or not? "
Although Sei Itō's words were a bit alarmist, Eriko still frowned and seriously considered the matter.
"Now, let's talk about the organization that attacked our family. We haven't even figured out their background yet, but they know everything about us. If one day they suddenly attack us, is it really safe to rely on the defensive enchantment of Mount Fuji and big sister, you, and Ya Ye?" Sei Itō finally said.
"I know." Just as Sei Itō opened his mouth and was about to add fuel to the fire, Eriko waved her hand and interrupted Sei Itō, frowning and said.
"Okay." Sei Itō also knew that this was enough. It was not good to continue, so he obediently stopped and waited for the situation outside to change.
While waiting, the [Peeping Beast] once again made a soul sound. The soul attack that was obviously stronger than the previous one quickly shattered the enchantment set up by Sei Itō and rushed towards Sei Itō and Eriko. However, because the enchantment was weakened, the soul attack that rushed towards Sei Itō and Eriko was already within their range of resistance. They each used their own methods to resist it.
After the resistance ended, Sei Itō swung his arms without thinking. A large number of runes flew out of Sei Itō's sleeves like a long dragon and instantly stuck to the walls around the room. The densely packed runes stuck to the walls tightly without leaving any gaps. At this time, Sei Itō once again formed the Acala Seal and set up the enchantment.
