Chapter 212 Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual · Turn
"So eating food can recover one's condition. It's a bit like a setting in a game. That sword is your contracted Spirit. Its name is Ranguren?"
"Yes, Ranguren is my partner and also my contracted Spirit. But don't you know that eating dishes made with the Heart of Cooking can quickly recover a contractor's consumption? For a contractor to control a Spirit to fight or use the Spirit's power, they need to consume their essence, energy, and spirit. The longer the control, the greater the consumption. If the consumption is too great, the contractor might even be drained dry by the Spirit. But with dishes made with the Heart of Cooking, you can recover quickly."
Hakuto scratched his head: "I've never tried it. I thought this thing could just be used casually. As for consumption or anything, I really haven't experienced it."
Yomi, who was eating, nearly choked to death on her food. Then Yomi looked at Hakuto, a hint of envy and anger in her eyes.
"You monster!"
Hakuto smiled and didn't mind what Yomi said. His gaze looked at the dark mass of Evil Spirits outside the barrier. These Evil Spirits seemed to have no attack power, but Hakuto always had a feeling of foreboding.
"I always have a feeling that a storm is coming. These Evil Spirits seem to be cannon fodder meant to be consumed. The real boss probably hasn't appeared yet."
Yomi said casually: "Whatever. I'm just here to stop these cannon-fodder-level Evil Spirits. The real monsters still need Guuji Yae to deal with. Well, maybe you too."
Looking at Hakuto, Yomi's expression showed some jealousy. She had worked hard since childhood to achieve her current strength. But Hakuto had completely relied on his dogshit luck to reach his current level.
Crack!
While Hakuto and Yomi were chatting, a cracking sound suddenly came from outside, from the barrier formed by the Miko. Hakuto looked up and saw that the barrier was already covered with dense cracks.
Clang!
With a clear shattering sound, the barrier directly shattered into countless pieces. The Miko maintaining the barrier also coughed up blood, one by one, because the barrier had shattered.
Yae Miko's expression turned cold. Then she said, "Since you're here, come out. Why hide? It's been a long time since we've seen each other, hasn't it? Won't you come out and see an old friend?"
With Yae Miko's voice, the endless darkness gathered together. Then, a woman with skin so pale it was frightening appeared in mid-air. Beneath her feet was a giant skull!
The pale to the point of strangeness skin, the black sailor uniform on her body, the raven-black beautiful hair, and the black stockings wrapped around her legs created an intense visual impact.
Yae Miko looked at the woman in front of her, then said, "It's been several hundred years since we last met, hasn't it? You give me such a big surprise the moment we meet. You really startled me!"
"Yae Miko, step aside. You alone cannot stop me. Besides, do you really want to make an enemy of me?"
"I wouldn't dare to make an enemy of you, Lady Hagoromo Kitsune. After all, you are his adoptive mother. I wouldn't dare to make an enemy of you. But it's not that I want to make an enemy of you now. It's that you want to destroy the arrangements he left behind."
'Hagoromo Kitsune?'
Hearing Yae Miko's address, Hakuto didn't know how to roast internally anymore.
[Wow. I didn't expect that participating in the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual would not only mean fighting those mindless Evil Spirits, but now even Hagoromo Kitsune has appeared. Next, is Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan going to appear too?]
[No wonder that woman looked so familiar to me. Isn't this f***ing Hagoromo Kitsune? I thought she was some kind of monster. I didn't expect it to be Hagoromo Kitsune. But why do I feel a sense of closeness to Hagoromo Kitsune? Could I be lacking maternal affection?]
[But what did Hagoromo Kitsune come here for? Instead of properly having children, why is she here? Could it be that she's also after the filth of the Sacred Sakura tree?]
[Speaking of which, in the original work, Hagoromo Kitsune wanted to give birth to her child, Abe no Seimei, again. In this world, could she still want to give birth to a child?]
[Absorbing this filth? Then using the power of this filth through Hagoromo Kitsune's womb to give birth to Abe no Seimei, who is in hell?]
Yae Miko's eyes narrowed slightly. Then she looked at Hagoromo Kitsune and said, "You wouldn't be planning to use the power of this filth to try to give birth to him, would you?"
Hagoromo Kitsune looked at Yae Miko in surprise, then said to Yae Miko, "I didn't expect you to see through my plan? Yes, just as you said. I plan to absorb the power of the Sacred Sakura tree's filth, then take the power of the Sacred Sakura tree for myself, and then have him born through my womb!"
After speaking, Hagoromo Kitsune looked at Yae Miko and said, "Yae Miko, now that you know my goal, are you still going to stop me? Stop me from bringing my beloved child back?"
"I'm really sorry, Lady Hagoromo Kitsune. Your plan fundamentally cannot bring him back. Although I don't know the specific method you're using, your kind of method cannot bring him back. So I still advise you to give up."
An expression of obvious displeasure appeared on Hagoromo Kitsune's face, but she didn't say much more. "In that case, I won't ask you to help me. Just don't interfere with me!"
"That won't do. Protecting the Sacred Sakura tree and purifying the filth of the Sacred Sakura tree is his order. How would this little fox dare to disobey his order? So, Lady Hagoromo Kitsune, please don't make things difficult for me either."
"So you're determined to stop me?"
Hagoromo Kitsune's tone immediately turned cold. Yae Miko, holding the gohei, said, "It's not that I want to make an enemy of you, Lady Hagoromo Kitsune. It's that I have no choice but to obey his order."
"In that case, there's nothing more to say. All of you, come out!"
With Hagoromo Kitsune's shout, countless figures appeared. The negative energy emanating from these figures was completely incomparable to those mindless Evil Spirits. The negative energy from any one of these figures was enough to rival tens of thousands of Evil Spirits.
Yae Miko's expression instantly became serious.
"Are you planning to disobey his order too, following Lady Hagoromo Kitsune?"
Looking at these figures, Yae Miko asked coldly.
