Chapter 743: Chapter 604: Inner Demons, Advancent_2 Chapter 743: Chapter 604: Inner Demons, Advancent_2 He seed to think of sothing, “Many questions target the heart directly, and once you start, it’s really hard to get rid of them.”
Roger knew that deep within the seemingly impeccable Yatagarasu Kensumi, there always existed a flaw.
That’s why, when the two of them entered Maple Forest together, Yatagarasu Kensumi was more easily influenced and arrived here under control before Roger did.
He stood up, sowhat unaccustod due to the loss of his arm, but although it looked like a serious injury, once back in Hankawa, there were many ways to regenerate a lost limb.
Yatagarasu Kensumi walked forward.
“That thing itself has combat power equivalent to the Fourth Tier, and when I saw it, its repulsive body was perched atop the Flower of Eternal Darkness.”
“The mont we t it asked a question.”
Yatagarasu Kensumi looked back at Roger.
“You want to pick that flower to save your father, oh… it turns out you want to prove yourself.”
“Just one sentence pierced through my psychological defenses, and then all my thoughts were captured, with more and more missing from within.”
“By the ti I realized it, it was already too late to leave,” Yatagarasu Kensumi said.
“You know, in Maple Forest, he is the only living thing, everything else has been entranced by him and remains here forever.”
“What is he?” Roger asked.
“Sothing that grew alongside this flower, I suppose.”
“A strange hybrid.”
“Co on, we need to think of a way; this thing is too big.”
Yatagarasu Kensumi steadied himself and slowly approached the Flower of Eternal Darkness.
Roger moved forward too, just as Yatagarasu Kensumi had said, the recognition from the Sword Master Cold Crow was his only obsession.
Or, perhaps, his demon.
“Did Mr. Morita tell you how to take this thing?” Roger asked.
“He put it quite simply, pull it out of the ground, stick a Talisman on it, place it in a box, and bring it back.”
The two glanced at each other, and the simplicity of the operation seed oddly humorous before the tree-sized bloom.
“Shall we give it a try?”
Roger said with a smile.
“You do it.”
Yatagarasu Kensumi glanced at his bare arm.
Roger didn’t respond, but spread his arms wide.
Spiritual Power burrowed into the depths of the soil, and before long, the whole plant trembled along, prompting Yatagarasu Kensumi to retreat a few steps.
The ground shook, and the dirt flew as strange roots were pulled out by Roger.
They exchanged looks again, both surprised at what they saw.
The so-called Flower of Eternal Darkness, the part buried deep in the earth, was identical to the flower visible outside.
The split petals writhed and waved in mid-air, and at the sa ti, a surge of extrely pure Energy flowed out of the churning soil!
Roger felt as though he was in a vortex of Energy.
The Energy was so pure, as if it was without a speck of impurity, and Yatagarasu Kensumi’s voice ca from behind him.
Turning around, Roger saw that Yatagarasu Kensumi’s severed arm was regenerating at a visibly swift pace.
He was reminded of Michihiro Morita’s description of the Flower of Eternal Darkness.
Connecting life and death through the Onmyoji Channel.
Then Roger’s figure trembled slightly, the Nekomata materializing uncontrollably in mid-air, with the pure energy naturally flooding into the Guardian Spirit’s body.
This was not the devouring from the Spirit Eating Domain, but a remarkably natural absorption.
Roger saw an eighth tail on the Nekomata solidify from ethereal to tangible until fully ford.
Reaching this stage, the transformation hadn’t ended, and after what seed like an age, when Roger ca to his senses, the Guardian Spirit had already returned inside him.
With his internal power surging, Roger felt the Nine Tails might not be too far off.
Behind him was Yatagarasu Kensumi, levitating in mid-air.
Aside from the complete regeneration of his severed limbs, the fluctuations in power on his body had also significantly increased by several degrees, clearly gaining nurous benefits.
The Flower of Eternal Darkness floated mid-air, no longer emitting energy from beneath the ground. Yatagarasu Kensumi spread his hands, and a talisman grew as the wind caught it.
It quickly entwined around the roots of the Flower of Eternal Darkness, and in no ti, the flower, which was originally as thick as a large tree, shrank at an incredibly fast speed.
It soon returned to the size of an ordinary blossom.
Yatagarasu Kensumi clapped his hands, a black wooden box opened, and the flower was pulled inside, restoring everything to normal.
“Just the energy that simply dissipated was enough to help the both of us advance our strength by a huge leap.”
“The energy contained within the flower must be even more terrifying.”
“If we arrived a bit later, that bizarre thing might have already rged with the Flower of Eternal Darkness and absorbed all its energy, evolving into an entirely new species.”
“By then, we likely couldn’t have done anything.” Yatagarasu Kensumi sighed.
“Do you think it’s possible that all this energy originally belonged to it?” Roger suddenly had another thought.
“This creature might be in the midst of tamorphosis, at a very critical stage.”
Yatagarasu Kensumi thought for a mont, “That’s indeed possible.” He was about to add more when suddenly the ground beneath them started trembling, and the surrounding scenery began to change.
There wasn’t the so-called shattering of heavens and splitting of earth, but the actual effect was no less catastrophic.
Furthermore, the energy around them felt extrely chaotic, as if sothing deep underground erupted and was transmitting forth.
“Let’s hurry, we need to leave this place!”
“Whether it’s that flower or that weird monster, their presence is key to this entire region.”
They sped along, retracing their original path. When they burst out of the cave, the chaotic energy peaked, thunder rumbled through the void, and clear fissures appeared on the towering trees.
The endless Maple Forest before had vanished, and from mid-air, they could clearly see the distant landscapes.
In the Maple Forest, tree trunks burst open, dark red sap sprayed everywhere, and from the broken trunks ca piercing screams.
Such massive changes naturally attracted the attention of other eyes.
Roger saw that in the far distance, many bizarre figures were approaching this location.
“Follow !”
Yatagarasu Kensumi’s robe had been damaged in the fight, and as the only living beings moving in the entire area, it was impossible for Roger and him to hide under such circumstances.
Yatagarasu Kensumi gave up on hiding. If they didn’t want to be surrounded by the monsters nearby, they needed to leave the Maple Forest and the surrounding areas in the shortest amount of ti.
Roger sighed; he had just experienced sothing similar a few days ago.
One after the other, they pushed their speed to the limit. The changing scenery below sped by as they dashed out of the Maple Forest.
Facing head-on, several monsters pounced. Yatagarasu Kensumi spread his arms, and the crisp sound of birdcall filled the air. Many monsters were sliced in half before they could even get close and fell to the ground as even chunks of flesh.
“To the Black Tower, we need to teleport out of here.”
Upon taking action, Kensumi instantly noticed changes within himself; the further they progressed, the more pronounced the changes in Spiritual Power beca.
The pure power he had absorbed not long ago had already completely transford into a part of himself.
A sense of unprecedented strength surged within him, and he let out a heavenward howl that, by the ti it reached far away, had turned into the call of the Three-legged Crow.
Roger, following closely behind Yatagarasu Kensumi, didn’t need to lift a finger.
Encountering little resistance and having escaped the initial siege, Kensumi noticeably slowed down. He descended from the sky, his aura diminished, and soon his vitality receded, becoming almost imperceptible.
“We’ll return to where the Black Tower is from a different direction.”
Kensumi explained briefly, and Roger, donning his hood, followed closely.
The latter half of the journey was surprisingly smooth. Ti passed, and soon Yatagarasu Kensumi stopped. He took out a disc from his hand, and Roger walked forward.
The inverted Black Tower appeared amidst the illusion.
Entering it, Kensumi activated the energy node within. After a whirlwind of disorientation, when the energy settled, sounds reached their ears.
They had once again returned to Mingsha City.
“Finally safe.”
Stepping out of the Black Tower, Yatagarasu Kensumi’s mood relaxed as he let out a breath of relief.
But just then, a voice from the sky said, “I knew you’d be here.”
“Take action!”
Roger looked up to see a bright red Tengu Mask.
