"One Hundred Demons."
That wasn't the name of a single existence, nor did it refer to a hundred demons.
At least, in the world of spells, that wasn't the meaning.
Just like how Yase Douji wasn't the name of a single demon, but a collective name for a group of demons, the so-called One Hundred Demons referred to a group of demons in legends.
Some of them were existences that appeared in myths, some were just folklore, some were extremely powerful, some were weak, but without exception, they were all quite famous.
For example, cats.
For example, Kappa.
For example, Yuki.
These familiar existences belonged to the ranks of One Hundred Demons.
One Hundred Demons could be said to include all the famous demons in Japanese legends, including the Three Great Demons — — Shutendoji, Tamamo no Mae, and Daitengu.
In the history of the spell world, there was a record of these many demons appearing at the same time and performing a parade at night.
Thus, the legend of One Hundred Demons appeared.
Phase E4 referred to a situation where countless Spiritual Disasters occurred in a chain with a single Spiritual Disaster as the center. If it was serious, it would cause countless Phase E3 Spiritual Disasters to appear and wreak havoc in the city, which was why it was called the Night of One Hundred Demons.
However, this was only a metaphor.
The real Night of One Hundred Demons had only appeared once in the history of the spell world.
In the legends, all kinds of demons appeared at the same time and performed a parade. How could such a thing happen so often?
Not to mention, after thousands of years, among the Hundred Demons, many famous existences had already been eliminated.
For example, among the three most famous demons, Shutendoji had already been killed by Minamoto no Raikō a thousand years ago. Tamamo no Mae had also been personally killed by Abe no Seimei, the ancestor of the Earth Otomon Clan, Abe no Seimei. Even during the Kamakura era, the Great Tengu had fought against the Tiantai Sect, but in the end, it was defeated and had never appeared again. Some people even claimed that it had already been eliminated, and only its descendants or successors, the Tengu, remained.
Under such circumstances, the real Night of One Hundred Demons was only a legend. Many people even thought that it was just a delusion and that it never really happened in history.
In the end, did the real Night of One Hundred Demons really happen?
No one knew.
However, people knew that on this day, the real Night of One Hundred Demons appeared.
"Boom!"
It was the wail of the atmosphere.
When a purplish-black Magic Array that looked like an abyss appeared on the ground of Tokyo, the atmosphere of the entire Tokyo seemed to have been thrown into a foreign substance as a loud rumble resounded.
Countless buildings were trembling slightly.
The sky suddenly darkened, and the sun and moon lost their light.
Immediately afterward, countless demons and monsters emerged from the magic array.
Trees emitting pitch-black miasma grew vigorously.
The ghost of a hound howled at the sky.
An incredibly beautiful female ghost appeared along with a stream of water.
The flames were flickering like a mirage.
Apart from that, there were also incomparably gorgeous fire birds, weasel-like skunks that could spit fire, and even zombies, mountain demons, and other monsters that came out of the magic array one after another. They roared, roared, or screamed as they suddenly appeared in this world.
From then on, Tokyo became a demonic domain.
"Wh … at …?"
Seeing the sky full of demons and monsters, Benevolent Amami was aghast.
"Impossible!"
Jiao Ren of Mountain City shouted.
"How is this possible …!?"
Kimutsu Zen Jiro cried out involuntarily.
“.....！”
The Great Friend Formation's expression also changed.
"This …"
Even Jing Ling Lu was shocked, not daring to believe his eyes at all.
As for the professional Onmyojis, their teeth were chattering, and their bodies were trembling uncontrollably. Their faces were pale, and their eyes were filled with fear. Even Kyoko was in disbelief.
Not only were there an unimaginable number of demons and ghosts, but there were also many existences that only existed in legends.
And now, all of them had appeared.
In this Tokyo.
"Go."
Standing in the center of the abyss-like magic array, Rozen looked like the Lord of Hell and the King of Ghosts as he commanded coldly.
"Make as much trouble as you want."
As soon as he said that, all kinds of demons, devils, and ghosts let out unpleasant and ear-piercing laughter, and with waves of strange laughter and roars, they attacked in all directions.
"" Ahhhhhh …! "" Ahhhhh …! "
Uncontrollable screams of fear finally rang out from everyone's mouths.
Tokyo was plunged into chaos.
.....
When people of later generations mentioned this day, they were all terrified.
"The sky of Tokyo was filled with countless demons and ghosts."
"They wreaked havoc on the streets."
"They floated back and forth between the buildings."
"The buildings gradually collapsed in the fire."
"The vehicles and roads were either destroyed or occupied."
"It was true hell."
This was the record of later generations.
And the reality was not much different from this.
Countless demons and ghosts flew across the sky, letting out strange laughter and strange screams as they destroyed buildings one after another, causing them to collapse one after another.
On the streets, a large number of demons were also running. Some smashed cars, some swept away street lights, some stepped on asphalt roads, and some chased after people, causing people to scramble to escape. Amid the screams, screams, wails, and wails, they gradually fell into panic.
Thanks to this, black smoke began to rise from every corner of Tokyo, and the fire also began to spread. It was as if it had been attacked by artillery, turning it into a battlefield.
However, what flew over Tokyo was not fighter jets or bombers, but demons and ghosts.
This was a disaster.
This was a nightmare.
However, the people of later generations also had a record of this day.
"Miraculously, there were no casualties on this day."
Some of the demons and ghosts destroyed, some chased after people, but none of them killed humans. At most, they threatened or injured humans.
Although the Onmyojis mobilized in Tokyo were shocked, they also fought with the demons and ghosts, causing the Spiritual Energy, Curse Energy, Miasma, Ghost Qi, and Demonic Qi to fluctuate and distort, creating a chaotic scene.
Unfortunately, there were just too many demons and ghosts. The small ones were powerful existences that were mentioned in legends, but the weak ones were frighteningly numerous. The Yin Yang Masters were either completely no match for them, or they could not kill them all no matter how hard they tried.
Despair gradually appeared in the hearts of the Yin Yang Masters.
Then, a Ghost King with a wine gourd led a group of demons to attack the Nightmare Bureau's headquarters.
Then, a fox girl with nine tails also led a group of demons to attack the Yin-Yang Hall.
Then, there was a Tengu that continued to destroy the facilities of the Yin-Yang Hall and the branches of the Nightmare Bureau, causing many Curse Search Officers and Nightmare Officers to collapse in fear.
That was the real Hundred Demons' Night, a disaster that occurred after the Great Spiritual Disaster caused by the Earth Imperial Gate's Yin-Yang Hall half a century ago.
People called that day the Day of Ten Thousand Demons.
Many people also called that day the Ghost Sacrifice.
Later, that day became the annual National Sacrifice Day. Every year, people would worship the Hundred Demons to eliminate disasters.
