"Bang!"
Suzuka, who was bound by Immovable Golden Bind, was completely unable to move and fell to the ground.
"Ugh!"
Falling to the ground without any [Quick Recover], Ōdaji Suzuka couldn't help but let out a depressed sound, and his tender cheeks were also dirtied by dust.
However, all of this could not cover up Suzuka's inner feelings.
Failed.
Failed.
She, failed.
Only Nishinodera Suzuka herself knew what this failure meant.
Therefore, Suzuka only felt that there was an uncontrollable violent emotion in her heart, but her brain couldn't react smoothly, which made her expression dull, and she looked particularly pitiful under the dust.
Under such circumstances, Rozen and Natsume, who had ended the battle, approached her.
"Suzuka"
Looking at the youngest Onmyoji who fell in front of him, Natsume's mood was very complicated.
Rozen also looked at the girl in front of him, and at the same time, he converged the curse power he released.
Even after a fierce battle like the one just now, Rozen's face was still not red, and he was not out of breath. He obviously consumed a lot of curse power, but he didn't show any signs of exhaustion.
That was also an important result of Rozen learning Eye of the Mind, which greatly reduced the consumption. It was no longer like before, once he used it, his magical power was basically exhausted.
Now, if Rozen used Summon to summon an intermediate tamed monster, he would be able to summon an army of thousands of men and horses, right?
It could be seen that Rozen's current strength had really improved a lot compared to before.
Unfortunately, Suzuka did not force Rozen to show that level of strength.
In this battle, Rozen only used Big Dipper and only used curse power. Although he inevitably used some of the essence of Puppet Technique when he controlled Big Dipper to fight, he didn't even use Summon Technique, not to mention that Rozen didn't give full support to Big Dipper. He only used a few of the eight steps of the magician, and he didn't know if he even used half of his strength.
That also proved that as the last of the twelve Divine Generals, there were still many things that needed to be improved.
As for Rozen, he at least had the strength to rival the Twelve Divine Generals.
That was why Rozan Can was able to do it without panting or blushing.
However, Rozen didn't have anything to be proud of.
Now, Rozen only wanted to know one thing.
"Why do you want to complete the Mount Tai Prefect Ceremony?"
Rozen asked Ōdaji Suzuka this question.
"Don't tell me you're just doing it for research," Rozen said calmly. "Your behavior tells me that there must be another reason behind this."
This was Rozen's guess, but it was a fairly certain guess.
There was no other way.
If Ōdaji Suzuka was really just a person who did not hesitate to touch the taboo in order to complete his research, then when Rozen pointed out the biggest flaw in his theory, Ōdaji Suzuka would not show such a desperate expression.
Ōdaji Suzuka's dedication to the Mount Tai Prefect Ceremony was definitely not the kind of madness that could sacrifice everything for research, but despair like grasping at the last life-saving straw.
That was something that Rozen, who hated sacrificing everything for research, would not mistake.
Therefore, Rozen could affirm that.
"You want to complete the Mount Tai Prefect Ceremony not for research, but to achieve your own purpose." Rozen said, "And considering the effect of the Mount Tai Prefect Ceremony, I can guess some of your purpose."
Mount Tai Prefect Ceremony was a ritual to manipulate the soul.
Abe Seimei used it in exchange for the lives of two people.
The former Earth Imperial Gate Yūkō used it to reincarnate himself into the future.
So, the answer to what Ōdaji Suzuka wanted to achieve with it was obvious.
"You're doing this to resurrect someone who is very important to you, right?"
Rozen's voice clearly passed into Ōdaji Suzuka's ears, and even more clearly into Natsume's ears.
"So it's because of this."
Natsume was speechless.
Ōdaji Suzuka raised her head and looked at Rozen with a sarcastic expression.
"It seems that you're very smart." Ōdaji Suzuka said sarcastically, "Since you're so smart, then guess who I want to resurrect?"
That question was already a bit difficult for others.
Who could guess who the person wanted to touch the taboo for the first time?
However …
"I do have two candidates in mind."
Rozen said directly.
"Huh?"
Ōdaji Suzuka was stunned.
He knows?
How did he know?
Is he just trying to trick me?
That was what Ōdaji Suzuka thought.
But in the next second, a term that came out of Rozen's mouth made her eyes widen.
"You should know that the world is already big, right?"
Rozen's words made Ōdaji Suzuka tremble, and it also made Natsume shocked.
"Ōdaji Suzuka."
That was a term that everyone knew.
As mentioned before, two years ago, there was a curse perpetrator who caused a spiritual disaster in Tokyo. In the end, the spiritual disaster turned into the Night of a Hundred Ghosts, causing great damage to Tokyo.
The so-called Curse Culprit was actually a very famous figure in the Curse world.
He used to be one of the twelve Divine Generals, and people called him Sensei. Although he obtained the national first-level Onmyoji qualification, he did not belong to Yin-Yang Hall.
In a broad sense, people generally thought that professional Onmyoji were the staff of Yin-Yang Hall.
But in fact, there were many Onmyoji active among the people, such as Eagle and Chizuru. Although they used to belong to Yin-Yang Hall, they later retired and became Onmyoji among the people.
In the same way, there were also some Onmyoji who did not work in Yin-Yang Hall, but were hired by other organizations.
Among them, there was a department that belonged to the government to assist the royal family, which was responsible for handling all affairs of the royal family members, controlling the channels of communication between the royal family members and the outside world, and the palace hall that held the history of the royal family.
"Spirit Control Department."
That was a department that studied the existence of gods or heroic spirits known as "Spirit Control."
Gods were the gods and Buddhas in the myths.
Heroic spirits were the heroes of the past.
These gods and Buddhas were also a kind of spiritual existence, just like Shikigami, but they were the highest level of spiritual body, which could not be touched so far.
The Spirit Control Department was a department that specialized in this kind of supreme spiritual existence, which was the organization that studied "God."
And because the Spirit Control Department included the former nobles of the royal family, based on political considerations, this department was set up in the palace hall instead of Yin-Yang Hall.
The one known as "Sensei" belonged to the Spirit Control Department of the palace hall, and he was also the head of the Spirit Control Department, the first person to study Spirit Control.
That person was the culprit behind the Spiritual Disaster that happened two years ago.
"Due to the deep impact of that Spiritual Calamity incident, it was eventually given a name —" The Great Calamity of Shangsi. "
Rozen said word by word.
"And the culprit behind" Jōji Daikaku "is called Nishido of Nishido Temple."
"Nishido of Nishido Temple."
The appearance of that name made Nishido Suzuka's pretty face suddenly pale, losing all the color of blood.
At that moment, a variety of emotions appeared on Nishido Suzuka's face.
Among them, there was hatred, anger, resentment, and rejection, but in the end, it all turned into fear.
Yes.
Nishido Suzuka was afraid of that person.
"He is your father, right?"
