Multiverse Anime 66-70

Title: Reincarnation Revealed

The entry of the Shishioh Treasure Sword, the Isayama family’s heirloom sword, into the list indeed made the Isayama family the center of attention before everyone.

Combined with Yomi, who was listed on three lists, namely the Eternal Beauty List, Transcendent List, and Divine Artifact List, more and more people paid attention to the Isayama family. With this boost, the Isayama family’s status in the Onmyōdō world rose rapidly.

At the same time, everyone also remembered the name Isayama Yomi.

Person listed on Three Lists.

Perhaps more would continuously emerge in the future, but, until now, Yomi was the first!!!

The first, always the most impressive and easiest to remember.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Ukiyo Middle School.

Rikuo showed slight bitterness and helplessness.

The previous Transcendent List didn’t reveal him, but instead the Divine Artifact List revealed him through Nenekirimaru. Seeing his classmates around showing slight fear, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

“It seems I can’t come to school again in the future.”

The revelation of his half-Yōkai identity also meant that the normal and ordinary life of the past would leave him. Although unconsciously he didn’t want to accept his Yōkai identity, he could still see some things clearly. That wasn’t something that didn’t exist just because he didn’t want to accept it. That was just deceiving oneself and meaningless!

It was time to make a decision. He was truly different from them from the beginning.

Thinking of this, Rikuo only glanced around the classroom and his classmates, as if yearning for something, but then he packed his bag and left the classroom.

The previously tense and silent atmosphere in the classroom only then eased, and sounds of discussion were heard alternately.

“Nura Rikuo is actually a Yōkai, so scary!”

“Just half-Yōkai...”

“Isn’t half-Yōkai still Yōkai? Fortunately, the Dimensional List revealed him early, otherwise, we all might be in danger.”

“Right, now there must already be people from the Onmyō Agency who came to capture him.”

“Don’t you find it strange, even though he’s a Yōkai, why does he use a Yōkai-slaying sword—Nenekirimaru!”

“...”

“What’s strange, maybe they kill each other among Yōkai.”

“...”

When a foreign object was suddenly discovered within the same group, no matter how harmless it showed itself before, after being revealed, it would face the greatest suspicion of evil.

This was humanity’s innate weakness, something unavoidable.

Of course, there were also exceptions among them.

Kiyojūji Kiyotsugu, Torii Natsumi, Ieharu Kana... these few people didn’t suspect Rikuo with malicious intent. On the contrary, because of the revelation of his identity, they showed slight worry, slightly afraid that Rikuo, their good friend, would truly face capture by Onmyōji as other classmates said.

“Half-Yōkai, is that him?”

Kiyotsugu looked at Rikuo who walked step by step toward outside the school through the window, thinking of memories carved deep in his heart.

He decided after school, he had to go to Rikuo’s house to ask clearly, even if he knew it was a tiger’s den.

That was a knot that had troubled his heart for years and must be opened!

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Tokyo, a certain bar.

Reiji looked slovenly like a delinquent, looking at the Divine Artifact List in the sky through the window, gulping down the beer in his hand until it was gone. Judging from his current appearance, it couldn’t be seen at all that he was one of the famous Twelve Divine Generals from the Onmyō Agency.

“Kusabimaru! Not bad, you actually got listed!”

Reiji knocked the golden-haired youth leaning beside him while hugging a long sword with a very crazy expression. He was Kusabimaru’s human form.

He didn’t expect before, that Kusabimaru-type Shikigami would be assessed as one type of weapon by the Divine Artifact List and get listed. That was an unexpected surprise, but there was one more thing Reiji was more concerned about...

He stared sharply at the detailed information of Rank 94: Crow Feather Robe on the Divine Artifact List, and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but grin.

“Tsuchimikado Harutora/Tsuchimikado Yakōu, hahaha... this is the most interesting!”

“Those old people at the Onmyō Agency and Onmyō Academy have been deceived by the Tsuchimikado family, completely fooled. Tsuchimikado Natsume is just a chess piece deliberately placed by Tsuchimikado publicly, a chess piece hiding Tsuchimikado Yakōu’s true reincarnation.”

Reiji rose from his seat, and also pulled Kusabimaru beside him.

“Let’s go, Kusabimaru...”

“I remember that child is an Onmyō Academy student, Tsuchimikado Yakōu’s reincarnation. This good show, must not be missed!”

Similar scenes didn’t only happen with Reiji. It could be said, that as long as it was a faction, organization, or family affiliated with Onmyōdō, after seeing the information about Crow Feather Robe, they immediately understood what the Tsuchimikado family deliberately hid.

Owner of Crow Feather Robe—Tsuchimikado Harutora/Tsuchimikado Yakōu!!!

After thinking carefully, everything immediately became clear.

Harutora was Yakōu’s reincarnation. And, the Tsuchimikado family clearly hid Harutora while knowing all this, and at the same time pushed Natsume to attract the outside world’s attention, making everyone unconsciously think that Natsume was Yakōu’s reincarnation.

Tsuchimikado’s countless calculations never expected the secret they had hidden all along, would be directly revealed by this sudden Dimensional List.

The revelation of Yakōu’s reincarnation identity was a very shocking matter for all of Onmyōdō.

Especially Yakōu’s loyal followers, they all became very enthusiastic, imagining restoring Onmyōdō’s glory under his leadership.

“Before the Onmyō Agency and Onmyō Academy react, have our people bring Natsume and Harutora back to the main house.”

Tsuchimikado Yasumi, head of the Tsuchimikado family, immediately gave orders after seeing the secret had been revealed.

“Hopefully everything can still be salvaged!”

Title: Opportunity for Cao Cao and Others

The shockwaves occurring in the Onmyōdō world.

Ordinary people didn’t know about it at all. Meanwhile, although the Gods knew about it, they weren’t interested at all. At most, they just looked at what specialties Kusabimaru, Crow Feather Robe... these few weapons possessed, so they could enter the Divine Artifact List.

The rest, they didn’t care to pay attention. After all, Onmyōdō was just a small path in the Gods’ eyes. At most, it could only give birth to Devil King-level powerhouses. Wanting to give birth to Transcendents was just a pipe dream.

The announcement of the Divine Artifact List still continued.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

【Rank 90: Devil King’s Hammer (Maō no Kozuchi)】
【Owner: Tamazuki】
【Owner’s Race: Yōkai】
【Introduction: The Devil King’s Hammer formed after Yamamoto’s heart mutated into a Yōkai. Humans once used the Devil King’s Hammer to kill all tanuki Yōkai in Shikoku. It has the ability to convert killed Yōkai into its own power. Its power is very high...】
【Ranking Gift: Basic Level Forging Purification】

...

【Rank 89: Twice Critical】
【Owner: Siegfried】
【Owner’s Race: Human】
【Introduction: Sacred Gear created by the God of the Bible, can grant dragon claw power to the wielder...】
【Ranking Gift: Intermediate Level Forging Purification】

...

【Additional Introduction: Sacred Gear—Extraordinary power created by God and dwelling in certain humans. It feeds on the wielder’s thoughts, continuously evolving and becoming stronger. This is power bestowed by the God of the Bible to humans to resist the God-Devil race.】

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

The appearance of the additional introduction about Divine Artifacts instantly made ordinary humans exclaim in shock.

“Wrong, wrong... we were all wrong!”

“So Divine Artifacts aren’t the Gods’ exclusive rights. Our bodies can also become dwelling places for Sacred Gears, thus obtaining supernatural power.”

“...God of the Bible, God truly exists, and is truly All-Merciful...”

“Do you remember, on the Transcendent List there were many Sacred Gear wielders, as well as what’s called Longinus-class...”

“...”

“Right...”

“It seems humans will also get a place on the Divine Artifact List.”

“Just don’t know under what conditions Sacred Gears dwell. If...”

“O great Lord, All-Merciful Lord...”

Countless believers knelt on the ground, offering their most sincere and humble faith...

Meanwhile, Sei, who was in seclusion in the Dimensional Rift to recover from her wounds, seemed to sense all this, and a holy and loving smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

God statues in major churches seemed to have senses, appeared publicly, with holy light illuminating hundreds of miles.

Some church high officials were very overjoyed. Hundreds of years, hundreds of years...

This was the first time the God of the Bible showed Her miracles so clearly. Meanwhile, the Seraphim in Heaven, Gabriel, Michael... and the others felt the same thing. The God of the Bible had manifested, and it was clearly visible that the God of the Bible’s wounds had now recovered very well.

The Gods also saw all this, with faces slightly gloomy!

Although they had prepared mentally very badly for the God of the Bible’s return, when they saw this scene, they truly couldn’t be calm.

Meanwhile, ordinary humans after learning that humans themselves also possessed supernatural power, many ambitious people began thinking cunningly, wanting to use some dirty methods to obtain Sacred Gears, so they too obtained supernatural power, even being in the highest position.

Unfortunately, these people were destined to face failure when planning.

Not even able to analyze clearly what Sacred Gears were, wanting to seize Sacred Gears was just pure nonsense, fantasy wishes.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

In a certain valley, two people from the Hero Faction were hiding.

“Rank 89 on the Divine Artifact List. This might be the lowest existence among Divine Artifacts.” Siegfried said full of regret.

“Your combat power doesn’t depend on Twice Critical.”

Cao Cao, who was swinging the Longinus Spear in the open field beside him, said casually.

The Longinus Spear in his hand seemed alive, every movement very sharp and skilled. Air currents followed the spear tip, sometimes gathering, sometimes dispersing... producing muffled sounds. Large trees around trembled, and countless green leaves fell like flowers scattered by fairies.

“Indeed so, but there’s still an indescribable feeling of loss.”

Siegfried placed both hands behind his head, leaning against the stone wall beside him, a smile carved at the corner of his mouth.

He was originally a top Exorcist from the church, possessing the title Sword Emperor of Devils. His combat power depended on devil swords and his own body. Meanwhile, Twice Critical was just an auxiliary. Moreover, although Twice Critical’s ranking was low on the Divine Artifact List, that didn’t mean the ranking of the devil swords he held was also low. The fact that those devil swords hadn’t been listed was the best proof.

“Cao Cao, this time the Hero Faction can use the Divine Artifact List’s ranking gifts to obtain quality improvements in strength.”

Although everyone still didn’t know what effects the Ranking Gift: Forging Purification from the Divine Artifact List had, one thing was certain, namely the Ranking Gifts issued by the Dimensional List were all high-quality goods, especially for current list holders.

Meanwhile, most Hero Faction members possessed very powerful Sacred Gears, even Longinus-class wielders. The announcement of the Divine Artifact List was a great opportunity for them. He had already seen scenes where Hero Faction members flocked to be listed.

“Our power increases rapidly. In the next plan, we can also proceed more smoothly, and the harvest will be more. At least not all benefits will be seized by the Shin Emperor.” Siegfried said while smiling.

Cao Cao stopped his movement, stored the Longinus Spear, and muttered while looking at the Divine Artifact List in the sky.

“Just don’t know what ranking the Longinus Spear can be on the Divine Artifact List. Top ten or top three?”

Then, he said seriously to Siegfried: “The announcement of the Divine Artifact List benefits us, but also has many disadvantages. At least, the Command Summons operation must be more hidden.”

“I understand this.” Siegfried nodded.

This time, the Divine Artifact List would surely announce all powerful Sacred Gear and Longinus-class wielders. If the Gods discovered too many Longinus-class wielders gathering secretly, it would surely arouse suspicion.

【Ranking Gift: Intermediate Level Forging Purification】

...

【Additional Introduction: Artificial Sacred Gear—Another type of Sacred Gear created by Fallen Angel Governor General Azazel, by referencing the God of the Bible’s Sacred Gear creation techniques. Among them are also powerful existences, not weaker than original Sacred Gears.】

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

“Azazel, isn’t he the leader of the eight Fallen Angels recorded in the Bible...”

“In myths and legends, he’s also the leader of the Watcher Angels and leader of the rebel Angels in the Lost Paradise incident.”

“...Grigori seems to be the Fallen Angels’ power organization.”

“Artificial Sacred Gears created by Fallen Angel Azazel, in other words, they’re imitation version Sacred Gears”

“Can’t say that. Isn’t even Twice Critical below them...”

“...”

“Another important major figure appeared. In mythological status, he’s equivalent to Devil King Lucifer from the Underworld.”

“...”

Compared to Artificial Sacred Gears, many people paid more attention to the identity of the Artificial Sacred Gears’ creator, the legendary Fallen Angel, Azazel.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Meanwhile, the Gods saw Azazel’s name appear on the Divine Artifact List and their expressions became slightly serious.

Azazel, with Devil King-level limit power, capable of leading Grigori to be equal with the Underworld and Heaven. This couldn’t be underestimated by any God.

It should be known, the Underworld had two Transcendents, Devil King Lucifer and Devil King Ajuka, while the other two Devil Kings were also Devil King-level limit existences. The Four Seraphim in Heaven were also Devil King-level limit existences. Moreover, Heaven had much inheritance left by the God of the Bible.

However, Grigori was completely different.

They had neither power nor inheritance. Yet, Azazel was still capable of leading the Fallen Angels to become existences equal with them. His power could be imagined.

Artificial Sacred Gears, now it seemed, might be one of Azazel’s ways to resist the Underworld and Heaven.

In the future, Artificial Sacred Gears needed more attention.

Whether Gods, Underworld, or Heaven secretly speculated in their hearts.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Grigori.

“Spirit and Glory Shield, Absolute Light and Darkness Dragon Sword... these few good Artificial Sacred Gears only occupy the 80s ranking on the Divine Artifact List!”

Azazel slightly frowned.

Clearly, he felt that these few Artificial Sacred Gears’ rankings on the Divine Artifact List were somewhat less than ideal. After all, these few items were among the best among all Artificial Sacred Gears; there were stronger ones, but not many.

Azazel originally thought they could enter the top sixty of the Divine Artifact List. He didn’t expect them to only slightly exceed Twice Critical. It should be known that Twice Critical could be said to be the lowest Sacred Gear among those created by the God of the Bible, of course, not including ordinary Sacred Gears that could only affect ordinary humans and couldn’t affect the God-Devil race.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

【Rank 79: Devil-Tempting Bell】
【Owner: Enma Ai】
【Owner’s Race: Human】
【Introduction: Sacred Gear created by the God of the Bible. Ringing the bell can emit sounds that tempt and confuse ordinary Devils. Range is determined by the wielder’s power...】
【Ranking Gift: High Level Forging Purification】

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

“Appeared, the second person listed on three lists, Enma Ai!”

“Devil-Tempting Bell Sacred Gear, very suitable for the Hell Girl’s identity.”

“...Hell Girl, Hell Priestess... and also listed on three lists. Both these people are related to that man.”

“...”

Now, many ordinary people chose to be silent and not mention ‘Kanzaki Hikaru’ out of respect. After all, such an existence wasn’t something they, ordinary people, could provoke. Who knew if the other party could detect rude words from them.

Now even ordinary people had a rough understanding of the power level divisions in the world. Hikaru’s Devil King-level power was absolutely not inferior to Gods in myths and legends.

Meanwhile, the Gods looked toward the Underworld with amused gazes.

“This unpleasant Sacred Gear, this is one of the few Sacred Gears intended for Devils!”

“Right, the Underworld a thousand years ago very much hated this Sacred Gear.”

“...I heard the Underworld tried to destroy it more than once.”

“...”

“After all, the church used it to trap many Devils during the God-Devil War!”

“...”

-

Title: Nietono no Shana

Whether the Divine Artifact List was deliberate or not, after announcing the Devil-Tempting Bell, it continued to announce several weapons that greatly hindered Devils.

【Rank 77: Holy Sword of Mimicry】
【Owner: Shidou Irina】
【Owner’s Race: Human】
【Introduction: One of seven Holy Swords forged by the church with high-level alchemy, using fragments of the Holy Sword Excalibur as core. Has very high barrier against Devils.

【Owner’s Race: Human】
【Introduction: One of seven Holy Swords forged by the church with high-level alchemy, using fragments of the Holy Sword Excalibur as core. Has very high barrier against Devils. Famous for destruction, has very strong power, affiliated with the Church...】
【Ranking Gift: High Level Forging Purification】

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

“The legendary Holy Swords also appeared.”

“...Weapons that specifically hinder Devils. The Church actually has such strong weapons.”

“...”

“That’s not surprising, after all, the Church has always been on the opposite side from Devils since ancient times...”

“...”

“Do you think the Church, which gathers more than half of humanity’s faith, is a simple supernatural force? Don’t forget, Angels and Heaven, the God of the Bible truly exist.”

“The Church has Gods as backers.”

“Right, the Church’s power naturally cannot be compared with supernatural forces like the Onmyō Agency and Onmyō Academy. Simply put, one is a local company, and the other is an international multinational corporation. The two absolutely cannot be compared.”

“...”

Many people had their own understanding of the Church, ‘spreading’ various information about the Church to people around them. Although these people’s words weren’t completely accurate, there was much truth mixed within.

At the same time, this also unveiled a small part of the Church’s mystery to ordinary people.

Meanwhile, countless enthusiastic Church believers in their hearts, imagined whether someday they could become strong Exorcists affiliated with the Church, receiving the Lord’s grace and blessings.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Kuoh Academy.

“Holy Swords!”

Yūto Kiba, standing on the field, gritted his teeth looking at the information about Holy Swords displayed on the Divine Artifact List, as well as the realistic Holy Sword projections. He very much wanted to rush forward and tear them apart.

As the Divine Artifact List continued announcing other Holy Swords successively, his fingertips dug deep into his flesh, a bit of blood flowing out. He seemed not to feel the slightest pain. What remained were only painful memories.

He hadn’t forgotten, and didn’t dare forget, his companions’ pained faces before their deaths, as well as the strong hatred toward Holy Swords.

Everyone clearly held the most sincere faith, struggling hard so that someday they could wield Holy Swords and become Holy Sword users who could exterminate Yōkai and Devils. Even if their bodies bled and were full of wounds, they would sing hymns and encourage each other to persevere.

However, what was the final result?

The Holy Sword Experiment’s failure was met with painful death under poisonous gas. Only he himself, protected by his companions’ sacrifice, escaped death’s fate.

“Holy Swords, sooner or later, sooner or later... I will completely destroy you!” Kiba said gloomily.

Not far away, Akeno and Koneko looked at Kiba with slight worry.

“Ah, if only the President were here.” Koneko sighed and said.

“Koneko, some things need to be faced alone. Even if the President were here, she would only comfort Yūto temporarily. As long as the knot in his heart isn’t untied, sooner or later it will fully erupt.”

“Whether you, me, or Yūto... we can only rely on ourselves.”

Regarding Akeno’s words, Koneko was lost in vague thought.

Rely on oneself!

(Nee-sama.)

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Meanwhile, the Gods only glanced calmly at the Holy Swords existing in the world currently, and weren’t interested at all.

If it were the complete version, the unshattered Holy Sword Excalibur, it might still make the Gods regard it highly. However, this defective product of the Holy Sword Excalibur was just a child’s toy.

Although it still had barriers against Devils, compared to the powerful ability of the Holy Sword Excalibur sufficient to suppress and hinder Devil Kings, it was completely meaningless.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

【Rank 69: Nietono no Shana】
【Owner: Shana】
【Owner’s Race: Flame Haze (Originally Human)】
【Introduction: Forged by the most evil Mistes monster in legend, Tenmoku Ikko. The sturdiest sharp weapon that can withstand Unrestricted Spells from Crimson Denizens. Tenmoku Ikko’s will now dwells within Nietono no Shana, and can appear to help when the owner is in danger...】
【Ranking Gift: Supreme Level Forging Purification】

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Everyone also saw that as long as those listed on the Eternal Beauty List were in the upper rankings, they had a high probability of simultaneously entering the Transcendent List and Divine Artifact List.

Isayama Yomi before was like this, Enma Ai was also like this, and now Shana was the same.

Title: Midnight Lost Child

【Rank 66: Trigon】
【Owner: Hecate】
【Owner’s Race: Crimson Lord】
【Introduction: Treasure Tool bestowed by the God of Creation Snake of the Festival. Can change size and length. Has very strong destructive power, limited for use when executing Divine Commands】

【Rank 65: Tartaros】

【Owner: Hecate】
【Owner’s Race: Crimson Lord】
【Introduction: Treasure Tool bestowed by the God of Creation Snake of the Festival. Symbol of the High Priestess, capable of performing...】
【Ranking Gift: Supreme Level Forging Purification】

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Everyone was shocked. Not because of these three extraordinary-looking Treasure Tools, but because of their owner, more precisely the owner of Rank 64: Staff Traverso, Hecate.

“Hecate is actually a Crimson Lord, how is that possible!”

“Impossible, this is a lie!”

“...Crimson Lord. She didn’t appear on the previous Transcendent List. Looking at her strength, she’s clearly surpassed the top tier.”

“...The Dimensional List announcement won’t be wrong...”

“...”

“Previously, many people speculated about Hecate’s identity. Devil, Angel, God... everything was speculated. Who would have thought she turned out to be a Crimson Lord.”

“High Priestess, from this it’s clearly visible that Hecate has very high status in the Crimson Realm.”

“...”

Disbelief, disappointment, shock... various emotions mixed among humans.

It was natural to have these emotions.

The beautiful women on the Eternal Beauty List, each had many fans, fully comparable to rising pop stars.

Even Tomie also had many crazy people obsessed with her, considering her the most perfect goddess in their hearts. Regarding situations like this, it could only be said that the bigger the forest, the more types of birds there are.

Just those entering the Eternal Beauty List were already like this. Meanwhile, the top ten had extremely excessive fan bases.

For example, Hecate.

Rank 10 on the Eternal Beauty List. Countless pedophiles in the world considered Hecate the highest goal in their hearts. Even some people with normal interests, when seeing her, were immediately captivated by her charm and couldn’t break free.

However, now someone told them Hecate was a Crimson Lord that devoured humans. How could this not make them feel very disappointed and shattered.

Except for a handful of people still obsessed with Hecate, the rest felt trembling in their hearts, leaving only deep instinctual fear toward Crimson Denizens.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Located at Bal Masqué.

Hecate, who was praying, appeared unaffected by the Dimensional List’s appearance or humans’ humble disappointment. The emptiness in her eyes remained unchanged.

However, when Hecate glanced at the Divine Artifact List with her blue eyes, her eyes showed slight ripples. Her small mouth slightly opened, and a small glowing gear appeared in her palm.

“Why him, why is it with him?”

“Alastor...”

There was no one in the empty temple who answered her. The emotionless voice echoed.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

【Rank 60: Midnight Lost Child (Reiji Maigo) (Defective Condition)】
【Owner: Kanzaki Hikaru】
【Owner’s Race: Human】
【Creator: Kanzaki Hikaru. Meaning to make time lost at zero time, that is can make the wielder restore all Power of Existence at zero time. Because a portion has been abandoned for special reasons, the upper limit of Power of Existence restoration is also limited...】
【Ranking Gift: Supreme Level Forging Purification】

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

“Treasure Tool among Treasure Tools. Wasn’t Midnight Lost Child created by the Promised Pair of Lovers? To make Johan, the Torch, exist forever. How could the creator be this Kanzaki Hikaru!!!”

“If the owner, I could still understand, but the creator...”

“A major event will occur...”

“An unexpected thing happened!”

“...”

If the announcement that Hecate was a Crimson Lord shocked ordinary humans, then Hikaru as creator and owner of Midnight Lost Child shocked all Crimson Denizens and Flame Hazes as well.

Especially those who had deep understanding of Midnight Lost Child.

All couldn’t believe it.

Kanzaki Hikaru, Johan—Two people completely unrelated were now connected in an extraordinary way.

However, a bigger mystery also followed. Hikaru was only less than twenty years old. Meanwhile, the Promised Pair of Lovers Johan and Pheles were still active in this world hundreds of years ago.

The timing didn’t match at all!

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

In a modern city in Northern Europe.

“This is the Treasure Tool Johan and I created together. Why did it become his?!”

Crimson Lord Pheles, wide-eyed with her green eyes, stared at the three words ‘Kanzaki Hikaru’ on the Divine Artifact List with disbelief and anger.

“...Tokyo, huh.”

Pheles immediately spread Unrestricted Spells. Yellow sand flew through the sky, wanting to go to that Far East country to find this ‘thief’ and investigate the cause and effect.

Why did the Midnight Lost Child she and Johan created become someone else’s possession.

This was the only clue to find Johan again.

There absolutely must not be any problems!

“Wait a moment, Pheles!”

Before Pheles could leave, a melodious voice was heard. At the same time, a light purple Absolute Seal directly opened. The color of heaven and earth became monochrome, and time also stopped.

“Spiral Organ Leanan-sidhe, you want to stop me.”

Pheles stared dissatisfied at the girl who appeared before her eyes, like a fairy, holding a drawing board.

She was Leanan-sidhe, the most genius Unrestricted Spells master in the Crimson Realm.
