"Chiaki -san isn't cowardly, nor is she useless," Seiji stated seriously. "You have the courage to come here by yourself, which is also the key to suppressing the evil spirits."
"Even without me, Seiji -san should be able to suppress the evil spirits."
"Perhaps, but without Chiaki -san, things will become much more troublesome."
"No matter how troublesome it is, as long as Seiji -san is serious, he can take care of it."
"I'm only a Yin Yang Master, and there's a limit to what I can do … Chiaki -san's assistance is incredibly important."
Chiaki snorted lightly as her mouth arced upwards upon hearing Seiji's sincere words.
She then looked at the building in front of her.
It was a shrine … Under the dark sky and flying flower petals, the originally beautiful and holy shrine seemed eerie and cold, and an ominous red mist surrounded it.
The two divine statues in front of the shrine were shrouded in mist, and Seiji could only faintly see their outlines. All the stone lanterns in front of the shrine were extinguished, and they were also shrouded in a faint red mist.
Suddenly, there was an ear-piercing sound as the mist swirled around the flower petals, forming a large number of black and red humanoid figures. There were men, women, young, and old, with empty eyes, vicious expressions, and twisted limbs …
Chiaki was terrified upon seeing this.
Something flashed in Seiji's eyes as he summoned his talisman. The silent pitch-black samurai also raised his longsword.
* Whoosh whoosh whoosh … * The evil spirits all swarmed towards them!
Seiji uttered an incantation, causing a white light to flash on his and Chiaki's bodies.
The samurai wielded his sword and faced the evil spirits head-on. His sword flashed with blue and white flames, forming a gigantic spiritual blade.
* Whoosh! * With a single slash, many evil spirits were slain.
The samurai continuously swung his spiritual blade to slay the evil spirits as he constantly moved around to avoid being surrounded.
However, there were too many evil spirits, and there was no end to them. No matter how fast he dodged, he would inevitably be attacked. He could only use his armor to defend.
"Kagura-san, are you alright?" Chiaki couldn't help but ask as she watched the samurai fight against so many evil spirits.
Natsuya had never even seen this samurai's face before. She only knew that her surname was Kagura, and that she was a girl … more accurately speaking, she wasn't a samurai, but rather a Spirit-branded Retainer.
"It's fine. With a spirit body of this level, no matter how many come, they won't be able to do anything to her." Seiji's words revealed his absolute trust.
The Spirit-branded Retainer Kagura lured away most of the evil spirits. Only a few evil spirits rushed towards him and Chiaki, but they were all blocked and destroyed by the barrier he had set up.
Seiji held many talismans in his hands and solemnly chanted an incantation. Then, the talismans glowed with white light and burned with golden-white flames.
With a wave of his hand, he shot out all the burning talismans and stuck them on the stone lanterns.
Then, the light burst out, dispersing the red mist that surrounded the lantern and igniting it.
All the stone lanterns were lit up, emitting a pure white light that lessened the gloomy atmosphere.
The number of evil spirits surging out had obviously decreased.
However, the ear-piercing sound suddenly became louder. The two divine messengers on both sides started rumbling, followed by a strange sound that sounded like both mournful wails and roars. The red mist around them became even thicker and expanded, absorbing a large number of flower petals.
Chiaki had a premonition that something even scarier than the evil spirits was about to appear. She followed her heart's instructions and hid behind Seiji.
Seiji took out even more talismans and solemnly chanted another incantation.
Kagura got into a fighting stance as a gigantic blue-white female shadow appeared behind her. She waved her hand and released a large area of light blue mist that destroyed all the remaining evil spirits.
* Boom!! * With a sound that seemed to shake the heavens and earth, two gigantic mastiffs suddenly appeared.
Although the mastiffs had the word "dog" in their name, they were actually more like lions. However, they weren't lions in real life, but rather a type of divine creature.
The originally mighty guardian messengers now appeared fierce and vicious. They had large mouths, sharp teeth, sharp claws, and blood-red eyes. Red mist swirled around their bodies, giving them an ominous feeling.
Before they could attack, Kagura pointed her sword at them. The shadow behind her clasped its hands together and shot a thick blue mist at the mastiff on the left!
* Roar! * The left mastiff opened its mouth and roared, causing a thick red mist to explode around its body and block the blue mist attack.
The right mastiff viciously pounced at Kagura and was about to swing its claws …
At this moment, Seiji waved his hand again and shot out all the talismans in his hand. The talismans pierced through the red mist protecting the right mastiff and stuck themselves onto its body.
"Seal!" Seiji formed a seal with his other hand and activated a spell.
All the talismans instantly exploded with a blinding white light. The right mastiff instantly froze as if someone had pressed the pause button.
On the other side, Kagura raised her sword and charged forward, slashing at the left mastiff!
The left mastiff countered with its claws and teeth, causing even more red mist to appear around its body. However, the shadow behind Kagura continued to use blue mist to counteract it.
The Spirit-branded Retainers and the divine messengers fought fiercely. The scene was breathtaking.
In comparison, the Yin Yang Master's side was much quieter and even more elegant.
Seiji calmly chanted an incantation and formed a seal.
The talismans on the right mastiff's body continued to shine and dispel the red mist. They also extended a white ray of light that gradually spread throughout its body.
The right mastiff remained frozen in place. Its gigantic body trembled slightly as it made a low growl. It was obvious that it was struggling with all its might, but it was unable to move at all.
'As expected of Seiji the Kamijou.' Chiaki inwardly praised Seiji.
How many Yin Yang Masters in the world were capable of calmly suppressing such a terrifying evil spirit?
Just how many Yin Yang Masters in the world were capable of calmly suppressing such a terrifying evil spirit?
After a while, Kagura used her spiritual blade to cut off the left mastiff's head! The latter's body transformed into mist and shattered pieces of stone.
At almost the same time, a white ray of light covered the right mastiff's entire body, completely purifying it and transforming it back into a complete stone statue.
"Let's go, Chiaki -san." Seiji smiled.
'Alright, Seiji -san.' Chiaki almost obediently agreed, but she maintained her composure and only acknowledged with a grunt.
The three of them walked towards the shrine together …
…
Chiaki regained her senses.
She blinked her eyes, feeling rather dizzy.
"Chiaki …" a voice spoke up next to her.
She turned around and saw a familiar handsome face.
"Welcome back. How do you feel?" Seiji smiled and asked in a concerned tone.
Chiaki stared at him in a daze for a moment before she finally reacted.
"I'm alright … I just feel a little dizzy."
"Only dizzy? How about your body? "
Her body … Chiaki didn't feel anything at first, but when she heard his question and focused on herself, she felt fatigued.
"I'm a little tired …" She reflexively moved, and instantly felt a numbing pain!
"Argh …" She couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Seiji immediately hugged her and cast a healing spell on her.
Chiaki instantly felt much better.
"Why is it like this …"
"You've been Visualizing for quite a while now. It's already past two in the morning."
"What …" Chiaki was astonished.
Only then did she notice something. She looked around and discovered that apart from herself and Seiji, there was no one else in the entire dojo.
"Where's everyone else?"
