They stared in terror at the flames, at the destruction before them, at the bombing that had consumed everything decades earlier, and at the evil dragon that stood between heaven and earth.
Stimulated by the flames, the bone tengu began to writhe wildly.
Blue phantoms flew in from the void in all directions, merged into his body, and turned into illusory pieces of flesh and blood, filling his entire body and expanding outwards.
Staring at the dragon's breath, enduring endless flames.
A hideous and disgusting monster, as ugly as a slime, appeared there.
The bones were separated into nodes, from which endless azure phantoms emerged. These phantoms shrieked silently, embracing and linking with each other, transforming into bloated and bizarre monsters.
Dou Tang withdrew the flames and looked at the writhing monster, feeling deeply troubled.
The wind picked up again.
The monster pointed a phantom arm at Dou Tang, and a spiral tornado instantly bloomed, striking the giant dragon Fall Guy in the chest in a split second.
Dou Tang withstood the wind pressure head-on, flapping its wings and moving forward against the gale, slowly but with unwavering determination.
………………
"What did we do wrong to deserve this treatment?"
"We don't want war anymore, everyone is tired."
"Our children have gone to war, our wives are left alone at home, and our parents are in tears. What did we do wrong?"
In the mental world of the bone tengu, Ejima Iya punched the phantoms that were attacking him again and again.
"Who knows what you did wrong! Do you hate? Do you despise? But what does that have to do with me! I hate and I despise too, but we're all dead!"
He roared, shattering the endless phantoms before him.
"There's no hope when you're dead. When you're dead, you should let go of everything! When we're dead, we have absolutely nothing to do with this civilization!"
He cursed and charged into the distance, the ground shaking like water, and he had to be careful not to fall.
A strange entity stood in the distance; it was a skeleton, a skeleton with wings.
The bone tengu let out a shriek, its hand transforming into sharp claws as it charged forward. In a single exchange, its sharp claws pierced through Ejima Izayoi's heart.
But Ejima Izai instead gripped the arm piercing his own body, roaring, his eyes filled with red light, brimming with hatred and madness: "You should all disappear with me! Disappear with me!"
"To die together, to die completely, to die without disturbing anyone!"
"My students and my old friends, and even my old friend's daughter, are worried about what's going on between you and me!"
His illusory arm unleashed an irresistible power, white light surging from his limbs and bones. With a snap, he twisted off the bone tengu's arm.
"Don't cause any more trouble for the living!"
The arm that was taken from Ejima Iya has been integrated into his body, which means that the school doctor has redeemed himself and won against the Bones Tengu.
He raised his hand and punched the Tengu in the face.
Face, head, chest, ribs, arms...
He punched again and again, without stopping, shattering bone after bone, which then merged into his body.
In the real world, the Bone Tengu gradually stopped moving. Seeing this, the Dragon Bean quickly approached and pinned it to the ground. Using its immense strength, it immobilized the Bone Tengu, and no matter how the wind raged around its body, it did not let go.
One punch, and another.
Ejima Izai eventually reduced the Bone Tengu to a mere phantom and the wing bones on its back.
He chuckled and got up, panting.
"It looks like a bird's wing, I don't want it..."
After saying that, he turned and left, seemingly wanting to leave this space of consciousness without any lingering attachment.
But the bone tengu, now filled with resentment and hatred, would not let him go. It took to the air, flapping its wings, and flew towards Ejima Isamu.
"Get out of here!"
Jiangdao Yizai noticed the movement behind him, said with disgust, and at the same time turned his body, twisted his waist and arm, and threw a punch.
"Bam—"
The space of consciousness belonging to the two souls trembled, and the water beneath their feet shook incessantly.
The two wings that belonged to the Bone Tengu were completely shattered, along with the resentment on them, which represented... true purification.
The power of the soul was given to Ejima Isamu, and the endless resentment was shattered by the gentle school doctor's punch, signifying the achievement of salvation.
After being trapped for twelve years, and enduring the pain of amnesia and a split soul for so long, the school doctor finally... completed his own battle.
Whether it's the cause of one's own death, the resentment of countless deaths, the culprit behind all this painful life, or the bone tengu formed from the dead.
None of them exist anymore.
Now only one person remains standing here, a soul.
A gentle yet obsessive school doctor who loves to make sarcastic and teasing remarks, but is incredibly reliable...
He stood still in the punching stance, his white coat slowly coming to a stop.
"……goodbye."
He politely said goodbye.
………………
The monster in front of them shrank dramatically.
The resentment within that illusory body was dissipating, and the bones, stretched apart by the azure soul, were piecing themselves back together. All of this signified that the battle was over.
Dou Tang exited his Fall Guy form, took two steps back, and looked at the monster in front of him.
The monster gradually reverted to its skeletal form, with two eerie blue flames burning in its eye sockets.
"Ah..." His voice was dull and rough, "Where are my...my clothes?"
Chapter 85 Hyenas Arrive at the Sound of Rumors
The strange phenomenon at Yiyan Private Academy was not unseen; in fact, from the moment it appeared, it attracted the attention and perception of most exorcists in Tokyo.
When the black dome rose, all the exorcists realized something was wrong.
The swirling clouds in the sky were eerily contorted, the wind was cold and chilling, not to mention the dome that was invisible to ordinary people. All of this meant only one thing: a group of exorcists were dealing with a powerful evil spirit.
Furthermore, they intend to seal this evil spirit away.
As mentioned before, exorcists in the new era have become selfish and self-serving due to a lack of physical punishment. In their view, there are no evil spirits that cannot be subdued, only evil spirits that are not worth the effort.
Such an evil spirit capable of stirring up strange phenomena in the heavens and earth clearly signifies a... new shikigami.
Yes, most exorcists had this thought at the time: a powerful evil spirit had appeared in Tokyo, and someone was trying to make it their shikigami.
In an instant, many exorcists sprang into action.
If it's someone I know, then maybe we can chat; if I don't know them... I might be able to get a share of the profits.
All exorcists are driven by self-interest, and right now, a powerful shikigami is the greatest profit.
Under the cover of darkness in Tokyo, countless vehicles began to move, heading towards the place that stirred up the gale and dark clouds.
Soon, people arrived at the school. At this time, a battle was taking place inside the dome, and strange roars could be heard, becoming blurred and distorted through the barrier.
More and more exorcists gathered together. Some knew each other, while others did not, but what they had in common was that no one spoke.
The barrier was weakening, leading them to believe that the seal had failed and it was time for them to step in.
Indeed, the black dome quickly disappeared, revealing the exhausted father and daughter standing at the school gate.
But no one rushed in; instead, they waited quietly.
More and more vehicles were parked in front of Yiyan Private Academy, and the swirling clouds in the sky continued to spin endlessly.
A cold wind blew through the air, ruffling the hems of the exorcists' clothes, and the atmosphere became solemn and heavy.
The car headlights illuminated the street, and one person after another got out of the car and stood at the school gate, exchanging pleasantries or observing coldly.
“Dad… these people…” Ringo Shinzen helped her father up and asked softly.
“They are hyenas… a bunch of scavenging bastards, that’s why I no longer take on exorcism business.”
Ryuu Shinzen stood up, clutching his chest, and shouted at the people at the school gate, "Gentlemen, there's nothing here that you're looking for! Please leave!"
"Is that so?" Suddenly, someone in the crowd spoke up, breaking the silence that the exorcists had maintained out of politeness and dignity.
They came together because of their own greed, yet none of them wanted to be the one to break the ice. Tonight's exorcists are undoubtedly the most hypocritical group in all of Tokyo.
The person who asked the question slowly parted the crowd and walked to the front.
It was a man in a white suit with a prosthetic arm, handsome yet somewhat effeminate, with a mocking smile on his lips: "How do you know that what we want isn't here?"
If Dou Tang were at the door right now, he would definitely throw the person in front of him out; the person in front of him is that fake Priest Ito.
It seems he's fitted himself with prosthetics and come here to do what he always does—stir up trouble.
Ryuuichi Shinzen coughed twice, forcing himself to speak: "What is sealed here is an ancient evil spirit, not the ritual to subdue a shikigami that you think it is. If it is released, we will all suffer! Even the whole of Tokyo!"
The fake priest Ito shrugged: "Friend, we can't just listen to your side of the story, we need to..."
He raised a finger and pointed inside the school: "I can verify it with my own eyes!"
"I think everyone behind me feels the same way, right?" He looked behind him again.
As expected, with a leader in charge, the rest of the crowd, driven by greed, began to echo the words of the fake priest Ito.
"That's right, we have to see it for ourselves!"
"If this place is really just a resealing, then let's see!"
"Friend, it looks like the seal failed! Let us go in and give you a hand!"
Although these people stood in the darkness, their eyes seemed to glow with an eerie green light, like those of hungry wolves.
“Dad…” Ringo Shinzaki, feeling displeased, wanted to rush forward to argue, but was pulled back by Ryuuichi Shinzaki.
"Is that so... If you colleagues are really interested, then please see for yourselves!" Ryuuichi Kanzaki sneered and pulled Ringo Kanzaki a step back to the side.
The fake priest Ito laughed, and with a flick of his hand in front of the door, a flash of light accompanied the lock snapping in two.
He opened the gate and tucked the Kamaitachi back into his sleeve. He stood still, gesturing for others to go first.
An impatient old man strode forward, and the other exorcists, fearing to fall behind, followed suit.
The fake priest Ito slowly disappeared into the crowd.
The exorcists rushed forward, each one concerned with elegance, even their brisk walks couldn't keep up with the younger ones.
He seemed to be running, yet he feigned restraint.
Soon, the exorcists arrived at the courtyard.
The central courtyard was now almost completely destroyed. The cherry trees were bare, the flowerbeds and the ground were a mess, and there were signs of battle everywhere, as if two monsters had fought here and then left.
Standing in the middle of the central courtyard were a man and a skeleton.
The man had his back to the exorcist, and he exuded an indescribable eerie aura.
The crowd suddenly stopped, hesitant to advance.
The man standing in the moonlight exuded a thick, dark aura. Some exorcists with strong psychic abilities even heard faint, mournful screams coming from him.
"Fierce and menacing" is not enough to describe that figure. If we were to describe its oppressive power, it would be like a ghost, a "great god," or an extremely terrifying wrathful Vajra Arhat.
The skeleton opposite the man was even more terrifying. Anyone with eyes could see at a glance that it was the culprit behind this natural disaster, and the vortex clouds in the sky were caused by it.
Pale blue light flowed across the pale bones, and blue-green will-o'-the-wisps burned in the eye sockets. A skeleton that could move freely represented something beyond the nature of ghosts and evil spirits, not to mention the heavy and cold atmosphere in the air.
The two terrifying beings stood facing each other, leaving the exorcists bewildered and uncertain.
Which one is the shikigami and which one is the evil spirit?
Is that terrifying man a living person or a shikigami?
What about the other one? Is it an evil spirit? Or is the skeleton the shikigami and the man the evil spirit?
Chapter 86 Let My Name Be Spoken
The long, dark night was swept by winds that whipped up heavy clouds.
Heavy, swirling clouds still hung in the sky, making the night cold and dark.
One exorcist after another stood in the corridor, looking ahead, and no one dared to speak.
