615 What part of me left you such a deep impression? (2/2)
The ”exorcism” incident from earlier that morning hadn't truly dealt with this incident at all.
However, that demon had been real. It wasn't an act put on by Seiji at all. And, it wasn't the only demon at Genhana High School!
After everyone finished making combat preparations, Natsuya controlled the school's spell formation to decrease its suppression effects.
A unbelievably dense blood-red mist… no, it was no longer mist, it was more like liquid. This liquid speedily appeared in midair and formed into a tremendous humanoid figure! It was three times as large as the two-story figure from this morning. It formed into a vicious demon and carried the smell of blood.
Seiji and the others furrowed their eyebrows. Hitaka in particular had a particularly heavy expression.
They had all sensed and smelled something similar here at school before.
Seiji instantly recalled the vicious powerful great demon—Shutendoji!
Seiji recalled how Minamoto no Raikou told him how Shutendoji had escaped in the end.
Had Shutendoji actually been hiding here all this time!? Was this demon the escaped Shutendoji!?
Although they had similar auras, they didn't seem the same.
”Grahh!!” The giant blood-red demon pounced towards them!
*Boom!* Everyone's prepared spells instantly exploded against it and set off brilliant explosions.
The two Yin Yang Masters and three Spirit-branded Retainers had all been fully prepared and were in excellent condition. Even if the great demon Shutendoji had appeared, they would still be able to kill him once again!
Attack attack attack attack spell shooting spell shooting spell shooting spell shooting…
They easily won!
The demon finally ended up exploding, sending out a powerful shock wave of blood mist. If there were spectators like this morning, the spectators would surely have been seriously injured by this. However, this was nothing more than a light gust of wind to the five of them.
Natsuya then fully removed the school spell formation's suppressive effects. This revealed a giant black oval-shaped spell formation!
A… Dimensional Eye?
”The demons came out of here, not from outside the school. That's why the school spell formation didn't inform me of the intrusion,” Natsuya explained.
”This appears to be a Dimensional Eye. However, it's different from the ones I've seen before. It's also different from Kazuko-san's way of entering her Domain.” Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation.
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
”Dealing with this incident's root cause will probably require entering in here. However, it will likely be incredibly dangerous,” Seiji surmised.
”My family should be very interested in whatever this is. I shall report this to my family and have them send someone to deal with this.” Something flashed in Natsuya's eyes.
'Letting the Yoruhana Family deal with this… that should be fine.'
Just as Seiji was thinking this, a voice suddenly spoke up behind him.
”Good evening, Mr. Knight Leader.”
!? This voice was…
Seiji turned around to see a girl wearing black traditional Sakura Island clothing and a dog head mask slowly walking towards them.
This was the dog head mask girl that he previously met in the Inner World, whom he suspected to be a member of Soul World!!
”…Good evening, Miss Dog Head Mask,” he responded in turn.
She chuckled as she walked up to him.
”We meet again, Mr. Knight. I'm glad that you haven't forgotten about me.”
”You left me such a deep impression, Miss Dog Head Mask. I wouldn't possibly forget about you.”
”What part of me left you such a deep impression? My face or my body?”
”Everything,” Seiji replied.
The dog head mask girl chuckled once again. ”Where's the previous Lady Knight from last time?”
”She's in my knights' training ground… Where is Mr. Minotaur from last time?”
”He's probably lost in a labyrinth somewhere.”
The dog-head girl then turned to look at Natsuya and the others.
