The sun had completely sunk by now and all the light that was shining on it had disappeared into thin light by the moon and stars.
Hakuren and Kuroto are still chasing after the shadow that is trying to escape. Kuroto even pulled out a feather of his wing and threw it.
“No I'll let! Senmaidoshi (piercing feather).”
The feathers that were thrown into a great deal and rained down on the ground endlessly. Continues to lead to the shadow that tries to escape.
“Sial! Why haven't you been caught yet! Senmaidoshi!”
Kuroto pulled out a strand of his fur back. Hakuren expends his spiritual abilities as well to help Kuroto.
“Fuken-Kamaitachi (wind sword-kamaitachi)”
A wind slash struck the shadow.
As a result of Hakuren's wind sword attack, several fallen trees produced a huge sound until it was heard into the ears of the ruler behind them.
“That fuken belongs to Hakuren. They're there apparently!”
Aragaki accelerated back up his running speed. “Ara-mitama won't let me get away with it! If until my bride-to-be gets scratched just a little, her and Nue's heads will be the pay!”
**
Behind Aragaki, Nagi tries to chase after the ruler. There was a faint rumbling sound.
“There was an attack. Maybe it's Hakuren and Kuroto. I had a chance to see them directly chasing after the shadow outside the entrance back then.”
“We are really off guard! It seems that Ara-mitama made use of the undetectable nature of her aura to eavesdrop on the conversation conducted by us.”
“Maybe when me and Ginko were in the forest or when Hakuren and Kuroto were investigating that kegare territory, he was still there and listening to everything.”
“No one will know how to destroy Aragaki-sama's reimei no kekkai.”
“In addition, Reda-sama who immediately opened the door.she must have heard a familiar voice so thought it was the person we knew.”.
While running, Nagi cursed with an annoyed and disappointed expression, “Sial!”
**
Hakuren and Kuroto lowered their height to a few meters above the ground and reduced the distance between them and the black shadow.
“Ara-mitama! Before Aragaki-sama gets angry, it's best to stop all this and return the village girl now!” yell Kuroto
However, it was unexpected that there was an attack from inside the ground that was issued to injure the two tengu.
Like hundreds of needles that strike in the darkness of the forest at night, the attack from the shadow is almost difficult to avoid at close range, which forces the two tengu to raise the altitude again.
“He dared to fight! I won't let him go!”
Kuroto was like taking his wing feathers back. By biting his thumb and rubbing it on the feather, a weapon was obtained.
The black feather turned into a black sword.
“Kokken-Karasumaru (black sword-Karasumaru)”
Kuroto flew slightly down and started attacking the shadow with his sword. As the needles that were fired towards him started to point back, there was a black flame aura from Kuroto's sword and instantly blocked all of the needles.
“Kuroto!” Hakuren yells
“I won't let you off the hook, Ara-mitama! Return the future wife of Aragaki-sama now or die! Hiei Karasumaru!!”
A large black flame from Kuroto's sword began to form resembling a large black crow.
With a single swing, the attack led to the shadow and managed to burn it.
“Aaaaaagh!!”
There was the sound of screaming from within the black flames.
The shadow figure eventually rose to the ground and became a familiar figure for the two tengu.
“Jorogumo-san?!” Kuroto was surprised
Indeed, the figure is no longer perfect, due to being burned by Kuroto's attack, half of his body that looks like Jorogumo has turned into the figure of Ara-mitama back.
Hakuren who saw that immediately came down with his angry expression.
“So that figure made Reda-sama want to open the door easily without suspicion? You don't know yourself!”
Hakuren took a white feather on his wing and in the same way as Kuroto before him, a weapon had appeared.
A long white sword appeared.
Hakuren immediately swooped down sharply and attacked the Ara-mitama figure who was still enduring pain due to Kuroto's previous attack.
“Send Reda-sama to us!”
-Slaaash
“Aaaakh!”
One of the Ara-mitama's hands finally broke off and fell to the ground.
“Kh! It's unforgivable. What do you think you're doing?!” Ara-mitama looks very angry at the two tengu. It made black smoke come out and the body part of the severed hand started to disappear.
The hand turned into black smoke and made the entire plant and other trees start to dry up.
Hakuren and Kuroto's expressions turned pale.
“It..”.
“Kegare!” Kuroto directly attacked Ara-mitama back, “How dare to dirty the sacred forest of Aragaki-sama!”
Kuroto slashes her back, but this time Ara-mitama manages to hold her back with a hand that appears on the part of her body that still looks like Jorogumo.
Jorogumo is a four-armed spider woman. Because half of Ara-mitama's body still has Jorogumo's figure, so there are two hands on the other side.
“Don't joke! You guys are just dirty. Dare to attack Mitama like me. How dare you guys block Aruji-sama from getting his food!”
Ara-mitama is enraged, but from behind Kuroto a sword starts piercing Ara-mitama's chest.
“Close your mouth, dirty creature!” it was an angry Hakuren. He pierces Ara-mitama's body and destroys Ara-mitama's hand that was on the ground before everything turns into black smoke.
“Aaaakh!!” Ara-mitama shouted out loud. He couldn't fight back because of the first wound he produced.
There was a terrifying aura coming from behind the three. The killing auras were strong and were no stranger to them.
A huge wind that could almost topple the surrounding trees began to come.
Along with the figure, Hakuren and Kuroto who still had not pulled their swords from Ara-mitama's body were shocked.
“Aragaki..-same.”.
It was the figure of Aragaki-sama who carried his sword and looked terrible. His huge tail was domineering and now he looked extremely angry.
It didn't take long until he gripped Ara-mitama's neck without a sound. Even it happened so quickly, more than when he was about to save Reda.
This is called the power of anger.
“Where is that village girl?”
**
In a dark place, Reda tried to open her eyes.
“Mmm..”
There was almost no sound except the sound of water droplets dripping from the crevices of the rocks. Slowly, Reda opened her eyes.
“Where...ini?”
His body began to slowly wake up and he saw that he was in a dark cave. The only light came from a large hole above his head. It was so far away that it could not be reached by him.
“Why am I here? Where's this?”
Reda tried to remember the events before she was there.
“I heard Jorogumo-sama come and open the door later...hah?!”
The girl realized something important. His hands were shaking and he almost cried.
“How...ini? Nushi-sama asked me not to open the door without her permission and I broke it.”
Tears finally began to fall. She was crying with a red face full of regret.
“Nushi-sama. I'm sorry.”
From behind Reda, there was a very large figure. Unbeknownst to him, the figure looked at him with glowing red eyes.
