"Wahhhh!!!"
After eating Akatsuki Mitarai, the puppet girl's high-pitched voice changed to something more like a shrill howl.
Then, a large amount of black mist suddenly appeared and instantly covered the entire area!
…
Seiji did his best to maintain his consciousness.
He was suddenly enveloped in darkness and felt dizzy … he had experienced this several days ago when he was sucked into the domain at the award ceremony.
Then, his vision returned to normal. As expected, he saw the cluster amaryllis flowers that he was already familiar with.
This was a blood-red world with numerous black pillars and countless silver threads connecting them. Large numbers of puppets and human bodies were pierced through and hung in midair like specimens … Seiji had seen this scene from a horror game before when he was searching for Shinobu.
What exactly happened?
Seiji had also witnessed Akira Mitarai suffering a backlash. Just as he was astonished, the black mist suddenly appeared, and he was sucked into this domain.
Yomi had told him that Shinobu would become a powerful demon if she ate Akira Mitarai. However, Shinobu was currently resting in his body as a weak demon.
Why did the puppet Spirit-branded Retainer suffer a backlash? Why did the black mist appear after the backlash and suck people into this domain?
How strange … no matter what, it was highly likely that Summer Night and the others were sucked into this domain as well.
Seiji tried to use his mystical communication technique to contact them, but it didn't work as expected.
Should he use his [Interdimensional Locator] ability?
After some consideration, he decided to walk along the cluster amaryllis flowers. Perhaps he would be able to find them in the middle of the flowers.
At this moment, he suddenly sensed something.
Seiji felt that his body was being pulled forward by an invisible force. Then, he saw that the ground was tilting as the invisible force rapidly increased!
He tried to stabilize his body, but the slope of the ground quickly became very steep. Coupled with the increasing pulling force, he soon flew up … no, fell down!
The sky and the ground became vertical. Or, more accurately, gravity had changed by ninety degrees!
Seiji landed on top of a black pillar with a loud thud. He saw the puppets and human bodies that had been pierced through the silver threads between the pillars. All of their body parts and body parts were falling off and falling to the ground in front of them!
It was highly likely that there was something in that direction. It was probably the puppet Spirit-branded Retainer.
Seiji thought about it, looked down at the pillar, and jumped down.
After landing on the second black pillar, he jumped down again.
Seiji stepped on the pillar and continued to move down, avoiding falling objects along the way.
After falling for a while, he saw it.
It was a huge black and red sphere! Swallowing all the puppets and human bodies that fell down, it contracted and expanded rhythmically, letting out strange sounds that sounded a bit like a beating heart.
"What is this …"
"A great fiendish demon is about to be born." Suddenly, a lazy female voice sounded. "If she's successfully born, you're definitely no match for her. Fortunately, you can still take this opportunity to stop her."
"Yomi … you've slept for too long."
"I don't sleep all the time. I wake up occasionally to check on the situation."
"I have my doubts about your words."
Seiji then heard the female spirit's light chuckle.
"Apologies for not responding when thou needed help earlier, but thou hast dealt with it well, and performed well ~"
"Are you going to reward me with candies?"
"I don't have any sugar, but if you want, I can make you feel very comfortable. Do you want to try?"
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"Although I do want to know what it'll feel like, I'll pass." Seiji's cheeks twitched.
"Ahh, what a pity."
"Stop messing around. According to what you said, the current situation is quite terrible. How should I stop it? "
"It's impossible to destroy her. You can only help her release her." Yomi paused for a moment. "Thou shalt wholeheartedly and sincerely help her release her so that she can go where she should go."
"This process won't be easy. It'll be incredibly difficult, but thou should be able to do it."
"What will happen if I fail?"
"A great fiendish demon will be born and devour thee and all thy companions."
Right after the female spirit said this, Seiji heard Summer Night shouting.
Seiji looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the Grand Mistress had landed on another black pillar.
"Grand Mistress!" Hitaka also appeared.
"Meow!" Rona also arrived.
Seiji indicated to them that they should go over the pillar and meet up with him. He then explained the situation to them.
"Let's release her together. Hitaka and Rona will be responsible for protecting us," Summer Night said after hearing the situation.
"She won't be able to help. Thou shalt be the only one who can do this," Yomi told him.
"Why's that?"
"Because Shinobu is currently within thee, and this demon can be considered to be Shinobu's clone. That's why only thou shall be able to release her. Others won't be able to."
"Shinobu's clone … could this demon be the portion of Shinobu's soul that Shinobu left behind?" Seiji furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
"Indeed."
"Didn't you say that nothing would happen to that portion of Shinobu's soul?"
"I indeed said that at the time. That's what I believed. Now, it seems that something that even I didn't expect has happened, causing that portion of Shinobu's soul to be demonized. " The female spirit chuckled. "The creator of this puppet is truly amazing. Even I'm somewhat impressed."
Seiji was once again rendered speechless.
Was it really that Akira Mitarai's death-seeking abilities were too strong? Or was it that Yomi had actually left something up her sleeve?
Seiji felt that it would be best not to investigate this question.
Next, he made his preparations and cast a spell.
Seiji formed a seal with both hands and uttered an incantation while facing the gigantic ball.
"Tribulation of grudges, dispel ritual …
"The body of a demon, the soul of evil …"
"Not of this world, but of the other side …
Yin-Yang Seal, "Release"!
A gigantic pentagram spell formation appeared in midair and released a golden glow that shone upon the ball.
"Gagagagahhhh!!!"
The ball instantly let out a strange sound that sounded like it was screaming. Layers of bloody mist came out of it as it moved even more violently.
Seiji immediately felt a tremendous amount of pressure! His mind and body were both being pressured by an invisible force. It was as if even the air itself had become heavy.
At this moment, a warm current flowed through his body, dispelling some of the pressure.
It was Shinobu.
No wonder she said that Summer Night wouldn't be able to help. If it wasn't for Shinobu, he definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand the tremendous pressure from the very start.
Seiji continued his incantation, causing smaller supporting spell formations to appear all around the pentagram spell formation. They also released a golden glow that shone upon the ball.
The strange sound coming from the ball became even more ear-piercing, and the bloody mist coming out of it became even denser. Something seemed to be struggling and twisting inside!
The pressure kept increasing. Seiji's hands started shaking, and then his entire body started shaking. Even breathing became difficult. It was as if his entire body was sinking to the bottom of the ocean. It was incredibly uncomfortable.
He couldn't even hear what Summer Night said to him. He was completely focused on casting his spell.
In his daze, he could faintly see many boys, girls, and children crying, screaming, struggling in pain, and begging for help …
"It hurts so much … let go of me …" "My hands … my feet …" "My eyes … give me back my eyes …" "Arghhh … Mom … Dad …" "Please let me go … I'm begging you … Ahhhh …"
Endless pain, endless despair …
Anger, hatred, and a deep grudge that wouldn't die in peace …
Seiji finally understood just how this demon had been created.
Akira Mitarai … even ten thousand deaths wouldn't be enough for you!!
Being bitten to death with a single bite was far too easy for such a scumbag … no, an animal that didn't even count as scumbag!!
Seiji even had the urge to load and torture Akira Mitarai again, but he instantly restrained himself.
No, he couldn't allow anger to take over his mind.
The most important thing right now was to calmly and sincerely send this grudge gathering creature away.
Although it was a little late, he had finally taken his revenge. He hoped that the victims in the other world could rest in peace.
"… Demons of sorrow and hatred … Release!!"
With great difficulty, Seiji finished his incantation.
