"This familiar sensation of power..."
As the Nue was absorbed into the Nine-Tailed Fox's body, a majestic surge of power began to erupt within it. If one had X-ray vision at this mont, they would see that the position of the heart in the Nine-Tailed Fox's human form was occupied by a fragnted piece of jade.
As the power, re-transford from the Nue and the White Fox, circulated through the Nine-Tailed Fox's body, the originally pitted and jagged jade began to gradually beco smooth, automatically beginning to repair its missing sections.
"Still missing Byakuei!"
The repair of the jade stopped halfway. Sensing that its core was still roughly one-third short of being full, the Nine-Tailed Fox snapped its eyes open.
"Yomi, i."
"Your subordinates are here."
Hearing the Nine-Tailed Fox call their nas, Isayama Yomi and Isayama i lowered their heads in response.
"Starting from tomorrow, each of you will lead a horde of evil spirits to throw Tokyo into chaos."
"Yes!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox's order left Isayama Yomi feeling quite surprised. Given that the Nine-Tailed Fox's strength far exceeded that of Byakuei's sealer, Tsuchimiyaka Gaku, why didn't it choose to capture Byakuei today? Instead, it was sending her and Isayama i out to cause destruction.
"You may leave."
The Nine-Tailed Fox clearly had no intention of resolving Yomi's confusion. After issuing the order, it waved its hand, signaling for the two to withdraw.
"Where do you want to go tomorrow?"
Walking out of the shrine, Yomi and i walked down the mountain side-by-side.
"Where do you want to go?"
Yomi didn't answer i's question but instead countered with her own.
"To the side where the Isayama family is, of course."
i, whose consciousness and sense of morality had been completely rewritten, answered quite casually and comfortably.
"Then I'll go to whichever side you don't choose."
"......"
Hearing Yomi's response, i remained silent for a while, then shrugged, dropped a "suit yourself," and quickened her pace.

Early the next morning.
A sudden, urgent alarm jolted the entire Isayama estate from its slumber.
"Quite the spectacle."
Hachiman, who had just gotten up, stepped out of his room and looked up to see a scene he would never forget—a pitch-black barrier like an inverted bowl was capped over the Isayama estate. Beneath the barrier was a dense, endless army of evil spirits!
"The number of spirits up there has to be over ten thousand."
Looking at the black mass of spirits overhead, even Hachiman, who had seen much in his ti, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle. Granted, if all these spirits were eliminated, the Spirit Coins he would obtain would surely be an astronomical figure.
However, he was equally certain that before he could finish off those spirits, every human within the barrier besides himself would definitely die before the spirits did!
Just as the Isayama family on the ground fell into chaos due to the sudden arrival of the spirit army, an evil spirit resembling a giant bird flew out from the horde.
"Is that...?"
Seeing the figure on the spirit's back, Hachiman narrowed his eyes.
"Lord Nine-Tails asked to bring so small gifts to greet the Isayama family."
Standing on the back of the bird-shaped spirit, Isayama Yomi used her spiritual power to project her voice to every inch of the Isayama land.
"You call this a 'small gift'?"
Hearing Yomi's words, Hachiman's lip twitched.
"Yomi..."
Suddenly, Tsuchimiyaka Kagura's voice, filled with disappointnt, rang out beside him. Turning his head, he saw that Kagura had at so point stood behind him clutching her tachi, looking up at the sky with a face full of shock, grief, and disappointnt at Isayama Yomi—who had brought a spirit army to annihilate the Isayama family.
"........"
Looking at the terrified crowd on the ground, Yomi was about to say more when she suddenly felt a pang of pain in her chest. She looked down and happened to lock eyes with Kagura.
"Kagura..."
Subconsciously, Yomi called out Kagura's na. As the na left her lips, Yomi instantly felt an unease, as if she had lost sothing vital.
"What's wrong with ?"
Holding her forehead, Yomi felt the inexplicable changes in her body. She stopped speaking, lightly waved her hand to the spirit army behind her to signal the attack, and then controlled the bird-shaped spirit to flee the Isayama estate.
"Onii-chan!"
Watching the black mass of spirits falling toward the ground like ink-colored rain, Kagura turned to look at Hachiman. With this many spirits, the defenseless Isayama family would absolutely not be able to resist! Right now, the only hope was Hachiman.
"I know."
Hearing Kagura's call, Hachiman sighed. Should he say his luck was good or bad? He had only stayed at the Isayama estate for one night and already ran into this.
"Damn it, I actually wanted to enjoy being a VIP for once. Am I going to be turned into a manual laborer imdiately?"
Hachiman grumbled, but his hands didn't stop for a second. Countless amounts of spiritual power began to pour outward. Just as the spirits were re ters from the ground, a silver barrier expanded with Hachiman as the center. In less than half a second, it rapidly expanded across the entire sky above the Isayama estate.
Bang, bang, bang...
The attacks of the spirit horde hit the surface of the barrier like dense raindrops, causing ripples but leaving it completely unshaken.
"Has the Lord made his move?"
Inside the Isayama estate, Naraku, who was directing the clansn to take shelter, looked up at the silver barrier overhead, a flicker of awe crossing his eyes. With such imnse power, was an Exorcist truly an unreachable existence?

"Expanding it this large all at once is a bit taxing..."
In the courtyard where Hachiman stood, feeling the spiritual power rapidly draining from his body, he couldn't help but feel a bit of lingering fear regarding his "feat" just now. If Alaya hadn't granted him the ability of infinite spiritual power, he probably would have been sucked dry into a human husk the mont the spirits attacked the barrier.
"But at least it's stabilized, hasn't it?"
Looking up at the spirit horde above the barrier, a smile curled at the corner of Hachiman's mouth. Such a vast number of spirits was, for him—who was short on Spirit Coins—exactly like soone offering a pillow just as he wanted to nap.
"Well then, I won't stand on ceremony..."
With a fiery look in his eyes aid at the spirit horde, Hachiman gave Kagura a quick heads-up and then charged into the high sky to begin the harvest!
