Around the altar, Suzuka lit up a bonfire.
She controlled the simple Spirit-branded Retainer, which was the one that looked like a man in a suit, and Asura. Suzuka began to methodically place the offerings on the altar.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Suzuka seemed to have noticed something. She took out a talisman, which suddenly lit up with flames.
Then, a Spirit-branded Retainer with a steel-like spider body and an armored samurai upper body appeared.
"Go, block this guy for me."
Receiving the order, the armored Retainer began to move its legs and quickly ran towards the forest at the foot of the mountain.
After sending out the armored Retainer, Suzuka continued to set up the altar.
On a large red plate, there was a white scroll tied with silver thread, a saddle horse, and a paper doll.
On the side, there were drums, conch shells, bells, and other magic tools.
Finally, Suzuka had the Spirit-branded Retainer leave, while she carefully placed her brother's corpse in the center of the altar.
"Brother, I will definitely resurrect you."
Mount Tai Prefecture's Monarch's Sacrifice, a ritual passed down from ancient times. Legend has it that it could resurrect the dead.
In the past, the legendary Onmyoji — — Tsuchimikado Yiguang used this ritual to reincarnate into his own descendant.
Although it was unknown whether it was successful or not, and it even caused a huge spiritual disaster in Tokyo, there were still countless Onmyoji who worshipped Yiguang. They believed that their Northstar King — — that was their honorific title for Yiguang — — — would awaken sooner or later.
Now, Dalian Temple's Suzuka, the country's top Onmyoji, the youngest Twelve Divine Generals, was willing to violate the Onmyoji Law set by the Onmyoji Hall and be wanted by the Onmyoji Hall.
"Dalian Temple's Suzuka!!!"
In the sky behind her, a young man's exasperated shout suddenly sounded.
"No!! You can't hold the Mount Tai Prefecture's Monarch's Sacrifice!! "
Suzuka turned around and looked at the sky with cold eyes.
Over there, under the moonlight, a majestic white horse was galloping through the air.
On the horse, there was a man and a woman.
They were Tsuchimikado Natsume and Tsuchimikado Haruko.
"Why … … did you follow me?"
Suzuka's young face began to twist unnaturally.
"Why did you stop me!!"
"Boom!!"
The armored ghost soldiers who had been lying in ambush in the woods on the mountainside jumped up high and came to the side of the white horse in the sky.
The giant scimitar-shaped spider leg swung towards Spring Tiger and Natsume.
Spring Tiger, who had just become a Spirit-branded Retainer not long ago, subconsciously swung his sword to block the attack.
"Ding —!!"
The magic sword let out a clear ringing sound, and runes appeared on the blade, nullifying the power of the armored ghost soldier.
If not for this, Spring Tiger would definitely have fallen from the horse's back.
After Spring Tiger blocked the Armored Ghost Soldier's attack, Xiamu immediately controlled the white horse to increase its altitude.
After the armored ghost soldier missed its target and landed on the ground, it locked onto Spring Tiger.
Once the white horse began to descend, the armored ghost soldiers would immediately jump up and attack.
"No, with this guy here, we can't get close to the altar!"
"There's no other way!"
Xia Mu sighed, then called out loudly: "Seven Star!!"
"Big … Big Dipper?"
Spring Tiger was shocked.
One of the biggest reasons why he decided to become Xiamu's Spirit-branded Retainer was the death of the Spirit-branded Retainer girl named Seven Star who liked him.
Now, why would Xiamu call out Seven Star's name?
Just as Spring Tiger was shocked, a dragon's roar sounded in the sky.
Spring Tiger raised his head and was shocked to find that there was actually a golden dragon circling above his head!
Its body was less than ten meters long, and it had a pair of deer-like horns and a long mane. Its entire body was covered in golden scales, and its four short limbs had claws like a falcon's.
Although its body was small, no matter how one looked at it, it should be a mythical dragon.
"Asura!!
Suzuka saw Xiamu summon the Spirit-branded Seven Star and immediately sent Asura out.
However, Seven Star was left behind by Abe Seimei. It was the guardian beast of the Spirit-branded Retainer Clan, a true dragon.
Even with the addition of Asura and the armored ghost soldiers, they were still unable to defeat Seven Star.
However, Xiamu still couldn't fully control Seven Star, so to a certain extent, Seven Star wouldn't completely follow Xiamu's orders.
Facing the attacks of Asura and the armored ghost soldiers, Seven Star didn't finish them off as quickly as Xiamu said. Instead, it started to play around with the two Spirit-branded Retainers.
"This dragon … is really curious …"
Spring Tiger laughed bitterly.
Fortunately, with Seven Star holding them back, Xiamu and Spring Tiger finally arrived at the altar.
"Daitana-ji Suzuka! Stop it! Yin-Yang techniques that affect the soul are taboo now! It will bring misfortune! "
Xiamu looked at Daitana-ji Suzuka with a serious expression.
Suzuka, who was still looking at her brother's corpse on the altar, sneered without turning her head.
"— Naive."
"What!?"
"Do you think you can stop me like this?"
As soon as she said that, the talismans covering the corpse fell off and fluttered in the air.
The talismans fluttering in the air attracted Xiamu and Spring Tiger's attention like snow on paper. Then, countless talismans rushed towards the two like a school of fish.
Natsumu hurriedly took out her Peach Bow and shot out arrows. However, the arrows formed by Spiritual Energy only managed to repel a very small number of the talismans. The remaining talismans surrounded Natsumu, Spring Tiger, and the white horse.
Xiamu and Spring Tiger, who were knocked off their horses by the talismans, were firmly controlled to lie face down on the ground.
The white horse neighed as it broke free from the talismans' restraint and ran away.
"Now, you can't stop me."
Suzuka glanced coldly at Xiamu and Spring Tiger who were trapped on the ground. She turned around and bowed respectfully to the altar and clapped her hands.
"Yin-Yang Master, Daitana-ji Suzuka, dedicates my body and soul to the Lord of Mount Tai and the Underworld Gods — —"
⑧
Eight-cloud Ink, who could already hear the commotion outside, naturally knew that there was a battle going on here.
[Lord of Mount Tai? Underworld Gods?]
After understanding that the girl wanted to revive her brother, Eight-cloud Ink didn't think much of it.
[Do you really think that the dead can be revived so easily — —]
If the dead could be revived so easily, then where would Four Seasons Echo's face go?
Although Yan Luo (cough cough cough), Lord Four Seasons couldn't care about what happened after death in this world, this didn't stop Eight-cloud Ink from looking down on the girl's actions.
Suddenly, Eight-cloud Ink felt a strong presence.
It came from the sky. No, it should be said that it came from another space in this world.
[This is … Divinity!?]
Although the world was different, Divinity was the same. Eight-cloud Ink, who had felt this presence from Yasaka Kanako before, quickly determined that this was genuine Divinity.
[Lord of Mount Tai — — No, this Divinity doesn't seem right — —]
The moment the Divinity appeared, Eight-cloud Ink's seal suddenly began to loosen.
[Just right, I can borrow this power to break the seal!!]
