[Inuyasha] Miko and Youkai

Before arriving at the burial ground, Holly and Mao stopped looking at the scene in front of them.

At this time, the seal has been completely opened, and the strange red beam of light seems to penetrate the sky and the earth.A huge figure was suspended in the center of the beam of light, and with the passage of time, the monster power continued to rise, and soon reached an astonishing level.

Opposite to the red light is a faint white light. Although the color of the light is so dim that it is almost invisible, it still rushes towards the red beam of light like a moth to a flame.

With a "boom", the white light slashed on the beam of light and made a loud noise, but then something unbelievable happened.Countless slender filaments protruded from the red beam of light, entangled with the white light, and devoured the white light bit by bit.

"It's Miko Haruko." Mao murmured in a daze, "She was completely suppressed."

Dongqing bit her lower lip, grabbed the bow she brought out from the shrine, and ran towards the beam of light.

"Holly, wait for me!" Mao chased after her.

The red light became more and more intense, and the huge monster in the beam of light was about to come out. Suddenly, another powerful monster appeared in the sealed place and entered Holly's perception.

what is that?Holly raised her head in amazement, and saw a white figure flashing in the air. Almost at the same time, the red beam of light was cut into two by the suddenly appearing blue light blade, and a certain mysterious ceremony was interrupted.

Now she doesn't need to say anything, Mao has already run to the dry well one step ahead of her.

As she expected, when she and Mao ran to the Boneyard, the battle was over.

The corpse, which was even bigger than the spider I had seen before, was broken into two pieces and scattered on the ground, hissing and smoking - it was obvious that it had been cut in half by the strange monster that had just appeared suddenly.

The strange monster seemed to have disappeared, leaving only a faint breath to show that he had been here before.Dongqing sniffed it twice, and found that this strange evil spirit not only did not appear dirty and unpleasant, but was as fresh as the first snow.Even when she closed her eyes, the figure of an elegant and arrogant noble son could appear in front of her eyes.

"Miko Haruko!" Mao exclaimed, and quickly ran to the dying Haruko to support her, "Holly, come and see!"

Holly stood there and shook her head.

It wasn't that she didn't want to save her, but that she didn't need to look closely at her to know that the young witch was dying.With the previous chest injury and the backlash of spiritual power, even Reiko, who is proficient in medicine, cannot save a dying person here.

"Holly!" Mao called again angrily.

Holly sighed helplessly and walked over slowly.

"I can't save her." She wrote in Mao's palm.

"I know..." Mao bit her lower lip, "I just don't want to see someone die right in front of my eyes."

"Ahem..." Haruko coughed weakly twice, and opened her eyes again.

"Miko Haruko, you..."

"I don't have much time. I will tell you all your questions now." Haruko interrupted Mao, "The purpose of the monsters is to break the seal and gain the power of the evil dragon. They possess the villagers and wait until When I realized it, almost everyone had been controlled. I had no choice but to open the barrier of the shrine to trap the leader of the monster, but unexpectedly, one of its subordinates escaped and possessed the village chief. on the body..."

"Has Village Chief Yamashita been possessed a long time ago?" Mao asked in a deep voice.

Haruko nodded, and then said: "The monster possessed by the village chief tricked many mages and monks, and they were eaten by the monster as soon as they entered the shrine." Haruko paused slightly, as if she didn't want to think about it too much , "Later, the monster went to Miko Reiko again, but it certainly didn't expect that it was you two who came..."

"Because Reiko-sama injured that spider monster?"

"Yes, if it wasn't for the injury on the monster, I wouldn't have been able to trap it for so long." After finishing speaking, Haruko took a deep breath and said, "Help me to the well, I The skeleton of the evil dragon must be sealed again."

Mao silently helped her to the well.

"Is your name Mao?" Haruko suddenly turned her head and asked. After receiving Mao's answer, she smiled slightly and said, "Can I ask you something? My body has been infected by evil spirits, so wait After I died, I was cremated..."

Mao hesitated for a moment, and finally replied: "...OK."

Haruko closed her eyes as if she breathed a sigh of relief, and silently recited the ancient spell while holding the magic seal.The spiritual power gradually gathered above the dry well, echoing the dry well.The dry well seems to be alive again, the invisible heart is beating, the pulse is undulating, and the breath from the ancient times is exuded from it.

Haruko smiled slightly, and some small crystal particles and light clusters were stripped from her body and flew into the well.

"Use your own soul to seal..." Mao looked at Haruko's actions, was surprised for a while, and finally fell silent.

Seal the monster with her own soul, so that the soul cannot enter reincarnation. Haruko, as a priestess, cannot be ignorant of this, but she still did it.

After a long time, the mountains and forests returned to silence.

Haruko Miko's hand in the seal on her chest slowly dropped, and Mao quickly stepped forward to support her body, making her lie on the ground smoothly.

"What are you going to do?" Holly wrote in her hand.

Mao's eyes fell on Haruko's smiling face, she was silent for a moment, and said, "Follow her last wish."

……

Back at the shrine, Holly and Mao immediately went to see Priestess Reiko.

After hearing what happened, Miko Reiko's expression became a bit ugly.

"During my divination, I knew that your trip would be dangerous, but I didn't expect that I would bring the danger." Reiko sighed softly, "Fortunately, you two are fine."

"By the way." Reiko remembered another thing, "Where's the little girl you brought back?"

"She was placed in a village down the mountain," Mao replied.After the monsters in Maple Village were eliminated, only a dozen villagers survived. After discussing with Dongqing, she brought Akiko back first.

"Haruko originally wanted to train her to be the next shrine maiden, right?"

"Yes, Akiko said Haruko Miko taught her for a while, but after the monster invaded the village, she couldn't continue. This is one of the reasons why she was able to avoid monster possession." Maou asked suddenly , "Master Reiko, do you know what the big monster that killed the spider demon is?"

"I'm not sure about this. I haven't heard of any big monsters nearby. Maybe they're just passing by..." Reiko frowned slightly, and after a while, she said, "Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now. Right. There seems to be some turmoil inside the monsters recently, don’t go out during this time, remember to concentrate on training when you go back. I have done divination a few times, and the results show that they are all fierce. "

Dongqing nodded, and was about to leave with Mao, but Reiko stopped her.

"Holly, wait a minute."
