Chapter 666: Chapter 566: Why Didn’t You Say So Earlier? (1) Chapter 666: Chapter 566: Why Didn’t You Say So Earlier? (1) Crack… thud.
Next to the withered cherry blossom tree, Ishii Shinichi’s eyes bulged, each socket a dark, bloody hole, through which he could only see unchanging darkness.
The sounds of flesh being chewed and swallowed filled his ears.
He wanted to struggle, but all of his strength seed to have been drained away, leaving even his consciousness muddled as if the darkness of the entire sky was pressing down upon him.
Pat pat.
At that mont, he heard the sound of familiar footsteps. His lips trembling, Ishii Shinichi mustered all his strength to turn his head, but the thing growing out of his back was too large, completely restricting his movent.
Imdiately after, he felt a familiar presence standing in front of him.
“Father… Father!”
Ishii Shinichi called out, struggling.
“Save , please save !”
Ishii Mitsugu’s gaze was deep, his facial expression unchanged. He stood quietly in place, watching as his son was slowly devoured in his struggle.
“I was wrong… I know I was wrong!”
“I shouldn’t have been greedy, I shouldn’t have trusted Ran’ei Shrine. Believe , I did all this for the sake of the entire family.”
“Delicious, truly delicious.”
The grotesque flesh behind Ishii Shinichi began to form vague facial features, and from its frightful orifice ca words of praise.
In that voice, Ishii Shinichi detected a hint of familiarity.
“Father… speak to , Father.”
Just then, soone quickly approached Ishii Mitsugu, “Sir, everything is ready, we can depart now.”
“Let’s go.”
Ishii Mitsugu waved his hand, his voice indescribably weary and aged.
“Save , I don’t want to die!”
Ishii Shinichi called out loudly, but soon he heard the sound of footsteps fading away. Realizing what had happened, his cries grew louder.
Until at last, seemingly accepting his ultimate fate, Ishii Shinichi grew calm and roared with all his might.
“Grant a quick death, Father!”
“Snap!”
Ishii Mitsugu stopped in his tracks, but he did not look back. Instead, he spoke the final words since arriving in the courtyard.
“You got what you deserved!”
With that, the sound of rustling wind ca, and the empty courtyard was left with only Ishii Shinichi’s feeble wail.
Crack crack!
…
Elsewhere, seeing Yuuki Nao almost too weak to stand, Roger knew that if he left directly, the best outco for this woman would be to be devoured and torn apart by the monsters of the wilderness.
An Onmyoji’s power cos almost entirely from their Guardian Spirit. By pouring all their power into it, Yuuki Nao in that mont was not much stronger than an ordinary Second Tier Transcendent.
“For your safety…”
Before he could finish, Roger’s expression shifted slightly, “What is that?”
Yuuki Nao turned her head back in panic, but in that mont, she felt her consciousness plunge into the abyss, all her senses stripped away.
The next second, her body went limp. Roger stepped forward and caught Yuuki Nao’s body, their shadows rging under the moonlight.
“I leave her to you, find a safe place to hide as soon as possible.”
Yuuki Nao’s eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened, but the expression that shone through them was now completely different.
“And don’t ss around!”
Before he left, Roger warned sternly, and without waiting for a response, he flapped the wings behind him and shot up into the sky.
To completely strip oneself of their Guardian Spirit is akin to gambling for anyone. By taking control of her Guardian Spirit, Roger could now do whatever he pleased with Yuuki Nao.
Putting aside all distractions, Roger focused on the faint presence of Aian San, infusing Spiritual Power to accelerate.
“Huff… Ha!”
Aian San, fleeing in panic, had his chest heaving while the holes on his body nded at an impressive speed, but his face was twisted in ferocity.
The Ishii Family’s years of effort had allowed their plans to bear fruit, but so far, there were significant flaws in the monstrous larvae they had cultivated.
At this mont, by choosing to use them, Aian San had almost completely cut off all his future prospects, to put it bluntly.
He was ruined.
“Ah… Ah!”
“Why?”
“How is he so strong?”
“Is it the weapon in his hand? Could it be, as the Divine Master said, that Sword Master Cold Crow’s plan has made a breakthrough?”
“No, I must hurry back and inform the Divine Master of this news.”
“Yes, the Divine Master will surely have a way to save , if I can be taken back to Tengu Shrine…”
A glimr of hope erupted in Aian San’s eyes. After so ti to recover, he felt his wounds had improved sowhat, even the speed of his flight increased significantly.
It wasn’t too far from here to the territory of Ran’ei Shrine. Aian San calculated the ti silently. As long as he could enter the shrine’s domain, he could use any ans, even human lives, to stop the pursuer behind him.
Just to catch his breath, that would be enough…
However, Aian San’s complexion darkened almost imdiately as he sensed a powerful presence closing in rapidly from behind!
The next second, Roger’s figure appeared in Aian San’s vision, and at the sa ti, a calm voice reached his ears.
“You can’t escape!”
Seeing the Ice Butterfly wings flapping behind Roger, Aian San turned pale with despair. He mustered his last bit of energy, but suddenly the wounds on his body that had started to nd burst open again, one of them right at the base of the wing.
Boom!
Straining too hard, Aian San scread as he plunged from the sky.
