What's going on?
Where did this ice wall co from?
A flicker of surprise crossed Karen's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by deep disdain.
He's a powerful SS-rank professional!
A re ice wall, and you think you can block his way?
"Break!"
Karen roared, without using any fancy skills.
His massive body traced a brutal straight line through the air, like a human-shaped cannonball, and slamd into the crystal-clear ice wall.
He wanted to use his purest physical strength to smash this overconfident ice wall into countless ice shards!
However.
"Bang—!!!"
A deafeningly loud bang.
Karen felt as if his head had hit an unshakeable block of divine iron, making him see stars and feel dizzy.
In contrast, the massive ice wall only let out a mournful cry of being overwheld, and a tiny crack appeared on its surface.
Karen's body was thrown back by a huge recoil force, tumbling several tis in the air before barely managing to regain her balance.
He shook his sowhat dazed head and stared in disbelief at the ice wall that had only a crack in it.
So hard!
The hardness of the ice wall far exceeded his expectations!
Damn it!
Karen's face showed annoyance.
He was just about to unleash his inner energy and release a wide-range destructive skill to completely shatter this damned ice wall.
But just then...
An extre, chilling wind, seemingly capable of freezing the soul, suddenly blew in from behind the ice wall without warning.
The wind was silent, yet it carried an irresistible absolute zero.
Karen's movents suddenly froze.
To his horror, he discovered that his body was being covered by a layer of crystalline frost at a visible speed under the influence of the cold wind.
Even the life-saving pendulum he had just acquired was frozen in an instant.
He couldn't even struggle before his consciousness was plunged into darkness.
The next second.
A lifelike ice sculpture fell straight down from mid-air.
"Karen!"
Polina, who was in the distance, let out a gasp.
The black wings on her back suddenly flapped, halting her forward montum, and her alluring blue eyes were filled with solemnity.
She looked up at the direction above the ice wall.
An unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped her heart.
Above the ice wall, a small figure had been silently floating there.
He was wearing an exquisite blue and white kimono, his skin was as white as snow, and his features were as cute as a porcelain doll.
His short, silver-white hair fluttered gently in the cold wind, and he held a snow-white katana in his hand, which seed disproportionate to his height.
He stood there quietly, his face expressionless, his icy blue eyes filled with pure, unadulterated indifference.
It was as if everything in the world was no different from ice and snow in his eyes.
Polina's heart sank.
She had seen this shikigami before.
There is a record of him in the most prestigious shikigami encyclopedia in Japan.
His na is Yuki-Douji.
It is the embodint of ice and snow, a demon spirit that controls death and freezing.
The fact that soone can summon a shikigami of this caliber makes their identity quite obvious.
Just as Polina was in a state of shock.
A fierce and unparalleled gust of wind suddenly attacked from below, aiming straight for her back!
The blade's speed was extre, seemingly capable of tearing through space, carrying an indomitable and brutal killing intent.
Polina's expression changed drastically; she tried to dodge, but it was too late.
At the critical mont.
"Buzz—"
Thousands of soldier beetles appeared out of thin air and quickly piled up behind Polina, forming a thick black insect shield.
"Pfft!"
The sharp blade of wind easily tore through the insect shield.
Thousands of soldier beetles were instantly pulverized.
But this brief obstacle bought Polina a re tenth of a second of reaction ti.
Her wings flapped suddenly, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.
A strand of golden hair was severed by the wind from the blade and slowly drifted down.
Polina broke out in a cold sweat and quickly moved away, looking down.
Only then did she notice.
Besides the eerie snowman on the ice wall, there was another person standing in the ssy ruins below.
It was a girl dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit.
The girl looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate features, but her expression was as cold as ice.
In her hand, she held a ferocious katana that was taller than her entire body.
On the blade, dark red patterns undulated slowly like blood vessels, exuding an ominous aura.
Yoto Hi.
Polina's heart sank little by little.
Yuki-Douji, Youko-hi.
These are all formidable monsters comparable to hellish bosses.
That man was able to summon both Ōtengu and Shuten-dōji at the sa ti.
Two more such powerful shikigami have been summoned!
This is a huge problem.
Further into the sky, a figure trailing a long plu of black smoke flew back swiftly.
It was Chongwen Gu Mao.
He looked extrely disheveled at that mont. His pure white priest's robes were tattered, blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth, and his face was so gloomy that it looked like it was about to drip water.
Behind him stood the enormous demon god, Shuten-dōji, who was over ten ters tall.
At this mont, the fanaticism and obsession in Shuten-dōji's eyes had completely faded, and he had regained his clarity.
Carrying the enormous spiked club, it followed closely behind Chong Wengu, its expression surprisingly submissive, as if the ferocious beast that had devoured its master was rely a fignt of everyone's imagination.
The high priest from Ise Grand Shrine swept his cold gaze across the battlefield below, finally settling on Caesar and Polina in the distance.
That look was as if he were looking at two dead people.
"You want to leave with the pendulum of life?"
"It's not that simple."
At the sa ti.
City center.
The enormous golden cocoon, suspended high in the [N O V E L I G H T] sky and dimd by the loss of its life-sustaining pendulum, suddenly trembled violently.
"Snap!"
"Snap! Snap!"
A crisp cracking sound emanated from the surface of the golden cocoon.
Grotesque cracks, like a spider web, quickly covered the entire cocoon.
The next second.
"boom--!!!"
The golden cocoon burst open with a roar!
Amidst the countless golden fragnts, a ferocious claw covered in blood-red scales suddenly erged!
Imdiately afterwards.
It was a hideous ghost face filled with endless violence and rage!
"who!!!"
"Who ruined my resurrection ritual?!"
"I'll make them... pay a bloody price!!!"
A terrifying roar, like a million thunderclaps, exploded in the sky above Fuji Castle!
