The Amane black sword transformed snake devoured Shika together with the chain prison she was trapped in.

Yakushi was about to make his next move. However he couldnt sense anything.

Even though he had clearly succeeded in sealing her away, he couldnt feel that she was within his control. This was completely unexpected.

Yakushi tried to cast a spell, but suddenly found that he had lost control of his own summoned Amane snake!

Right after that, he saw his snake freezing over in midair as its pitch-black body suddenly shattered, only to reveal a cold and icy blue.

A faint mystical and distant sound of song could suddenly be heard. This song had a chill that felt like it could pierce through the soul.

Yakushi felt actually threatened by this.

He decisively summoned a second Amane spirit sword and unhesitatingly shot a powerful black beam at the collapsing giant snake!

The spirit swords beam pierced through the giant snake. Its collapsing body exploded with a giant boom, releasing a tremendous amount of black mist!

Something blue glowed in the mist.

The mystical song stopped.

Yakushi instantly felt as if he was enveloped in an abnormal chill. He tried to dodge this, when he saw a brilliant flash

Destruction curse, Thousand Years of Ice!

A large number of blue pillars suddenly materialized and reached all the way up to the heavens. These blue pillars seemed like humongous ocean waves that completely washed Yakushis figure away!

Cough, cough

Yakushi had just lost a second telekinesis clone due to this attack. His real body suffered another backlash yet again.

And, this backlash was more serious than the first backlash. He figured that it was due to the special power contained within the spell which destroyed his second clone.

However, he was still alright. The damage taken was within acceptable limits.

Yakushi adjusted his eyeglasses. He became even more interested in the blue skirt girl.

It seemed that he would have to resort to something more violent in order to capture her.

Just as he was planning his next move, he suddenly sensed something behind him. Yakushi turned around and saw someone in Yin Yang Master hunting attire

I found you, Seiji told Yakushi in an icy tone.

The next instant, a giant golden bell materialized

Sealing spell, Demon Suppression Bell!

*Clang!* Together with a mighty rumble, the bell fell right on top of Yakushi, releasing a powerful light that extended into a pentagram spell formation! A golden pillar of light arose from each corner of the pentagram; these golden pillars connected with each other above the formation, creating countless mystical runes that filled the entire area!

Suppress the demons of the world

Halt the evils of the world

Destroy the evil spirits of the world

In the name of the divine, my will shall break your spell

Seiji made hand seals with both his hands while incanting. He coldly powered up his spell to its absolute maximum power

Anti-spell Destruction! Light Ends Everything!! Those who control demons for evil, perish!!!

*Rumble, rumble, rumble* A giant pillar of golden light arose into the skies, releasing a divine and blinding aura!

Everything was now over just kidding.

The next second, a dark figure forced its way out of the pillar of light. Yakushi shot out numerous black beams in Seijis direction!

Seiji dodged these beams. However, the black beams exploded into dense black mist behind him!

Right after that, a black wave resembling a giant sword descended upon him in a slash! It was too large to dodge, so Seiji summoned his White Lotus spirit sword to fight against it.

*Bam!!!* The black mist and golden light violently clashed against each other, sending out a powerful shock wave.

Right after that, more violent clashing sounds could be heard ringing out continuously inside the mixture of light and black mist. Seiji and Yakushis figures could be seen exchanging sword blows, which produced even more black mist and powerful golden light.

Finally, their figures exchanged places with each other. They both landed a blow that knocked each other far back, which put some distance between them.

Seijis hunting clothes now had a large tear on the upper half, from which faint amounts of black mist were slowly rising.

Across from him was a Yakushi who now looked completely different.

Yakushis white doctor coat had completely disappeared, as had his glasses. His head was also bald now. His entire body had become gray, and black snake scales covered his entire body. He looked like a snake who had taken human form basically, a snake person.

The snake person Yakushis body kept releasing black mist from everywhere. A white diagonal gash made by a sword extended all the way from his left shoulder to the right half of his waist. Seiji had caused this injury just now, but it was swiftly healing at a visible pace.

Not bad, Yakushi spoke up. Still, you should have used more power just now.

I will from now on, Seiji responded. In fact, if you have any more transformations or whatever up your sleeve, youd better use them now. Otherwise, you might not have a chance to use them anymore.

Transforming like this isnt easy. I have to reach a special condition first Simply speaking, I hadnt warmed up enough earlier, Yakushi explained while stretching his arms and neck, which made creaking sounds.

Since you clearly lack exercise, you might as well stop moving for eternity. Seiji raised his spirit sword.

Yakushi also raised his spirit sword.

The two of them exchanged icy glances. The tension in the air reached a boiling point.

Just as both of them were about to continue their next round of powerful attacks, a voice with no sense of tension whatsoever suddenly interjected, Lets stop here, Yakushi-san.

This voice caused Yakushis and Seijis expression to change.

They both looked to the right, where a hazy black shadow was now floating.

Nows not the time to be doing such things. Lets hurry and go back since your cute subordinate is looking for you~ The black shadow acted as if he was coaxing a puppy to return home.

Yakushi furrowed his eyebrows.

Furrowing his eyebrows while being in this snake person form made him look rather strange. It was impossible for Seiji to determine what emotion Yakushi was feeling right now.

While it might be possible to try a sudden attack at this time, Seiji decided against such a course of action. He chose to quietly wait and see what happened.

After a period of silence, Yakushi glanced over at Seiji again before putting down his spirit sword.

Then, Yakushis body swiftly began to dissipate into mist. A short few seconds later, he completely vanished.

Yakushi actually left just like that Seiji remained on guard while looking over at the black shadow.

Although I cant see your face due to the mask, youre my bro Haruta, arent you. The black shadowItsuki Kamitaniasked a question in the form of a statement.

Seiji didnt admit nor deny this.

Although I really want to ask you why youre here, I can probably guess at the situation since I was the one who gave you that information. Kamitani chuckled. You did much better than I thought. I should say, as expected of my bro Haruta.

Seiji still remained silent.

I apologize that Yakushi-san caused so much trouble for you, Kamitani continued. Despite what he seems like, hes actually a good person.

Actually a good person? Seiji felt that this was truly an unfunny joke.

He responded by silently pointing his sword at Kamitani.

Dont be so angry. To make up for things, how about I tell you information on Qilin oh, whoops, your older Haruta sister, how about it?

Information about Yui!?

Something flashed in Seijis eyes as he slowly put down his sword.

I knew you would want this information. Kamitani chuckled. I doubt she had the time to tell you anything.

Shes currently inside the Realm of Cherry Blossoms. Her exact location and condition are unknown. But, its a definite that shes still alive. However, that might no longer be the case if too much time passes, since shes in such a terrible environment. Who knows how long she can last?

You cant help her right now, but I know someone who can. I was about to go find that person right now, but Im really busy. I have other things to do, so I wont be contacting that person until later.

Seiji already could guess what this Kamitani bastard was about to say next.

The more time passes, the worse her situation will become. If you want that person to hurry and help your older sister, then why dont you go talk to him in my place, my bro Haruta? Kamitani spoke in a joyous tone. His code name is Voidfire. Just like Yakushi-san, hes a really good person~
