Under the devil's predation, Japan's Self-Defense Forces were routed, with most soldiers fleeing in panic. Even with Japan's largest city behind them, they could not suppress their fear and collapse.
At this moment, a new change occurred on the chaotic battlefield.
Behind the army, an elite force escorted a group of monks, onmyoji, and priests to the front lines of the battlefield.
These clergy members were a lineage of sorcerers invited by the Japanese government, and were also highly skilled secret arts practitioners.
"Fellow practitioners, please be careful! This demon is not the Ghost Shadow Demon King who ravaged Japan back then!"
However, now that we have arrived at the battlefield, we must do everything in our power to seal it away!
After all, behind us lies a bustling metropolis and your dojo!
"A highly respected elderly priest stood at the forefront of the crowd. When he saw Pogan still causing destruction, he immediately shouted."
"Please, sirs, intervene immediately!" The high-ranking officer escorting the group of mages made a sincere and respectful request to the mages.
"Sir, in a moment, have your men chant the sealing incantation with us. This will enhance the sealing power of the magic," the elderly priest replied.
After everything was arranged, the elderly priest stood in the middle of the crowd. The monks, Onmyoji, and priests invited by the authorities all stood in different positions around the elderly priest, forming an amplification magic circle.
Then, the chanting of the sealing spell quickly began, with hundreds of people chanting the magic incantation together, continuously increasing the power of the spell.
Under the control of the elderly priest, a blinding white beam of light struck Bogang's stomach, and then the beam of light tried to turn Bogang into a mask.
The spell used by the old priest once sealed the demon king Tara, and is the most powerful sealing spell recorded in Japanese history.
However, when facing the mountain demon Bogang, the white beam of light only made her feel slightly uncomfortable and did not have much effect.
Bo Gang patted his stomach, putting himself into a state of hardened mountains and rivers, thus becoming completely immune to the sealing curse.
"Human strength doesn't seem to be that great."
"Once I've filled my stomach, I'll definitely avenge my severed arm!" Faced with the human's magical attack, Bo Gang thought of the mysterious Zhang Bairen.
Aren't humans just slaves and food?
After withstanding the magical attacks of the mage team, Bogan became even more arrogant.
The infinitely elongated tongue swept across, instantly annihilating the entire Japanese monk team.
Without the mage's interference, Bo began a new round of eating.
Tokyo, Tenhuang Residence.
Japan's top figures have all gathered here, looking at the processed data and satellite images taken on-site.
Then, we continuously analyze the changes and developments in the situation.
Upon witnessing the annihilation of the mage team, one of the high-ranking officials spoke up, saying, "Your Majesty, would you be so kind as to request the intervention of your priests? The mage team we summoned is utterly incapable of dealing with this demon!"
“This…” Sitting in the high position, the Japanese Tenko turned his head to look at his left and right sides.
"Mr. Abe, Mr. Kamo, do you have any suggestions?" Japanese Prime Minister Tenko asked.
The Abe family and the Kamo family are Japanese Onmyoji (yin-yang master) families. These two families have a long history and have always competed to see who is the number one Onmyoji family in Japan.
Historically, almost all the famous Onmyoji (masters of Yin and Yang) came from these two schools.
Even in this day and age, they still retain enough depth and continue to serve Tianhuang.
The Onmyoji sitting to the right of the Heavenly Emperor spoke first. After bowing slightly, he explained in a calm tone, "Your Majesty and all the lords, the demon you are seeing now is one of the eight ancient demons that existed in ancient history."
"They once ruled the entire world. Even the truly immortal gods, at their peak, had to use some tricks to defeat them one by one."
"And it's only defeating them, not killing them!"
"According to the myths of Takamagahara, these demons are one of the basic rules that constitute the world. They are immortal and indestructible, and can only be sealed away."
Moreover, their strength is immense. Apart from that ancient nation across the sea, which once produced a Saint Seiya who, with the combined power of the entire nation, used a spell to seal away an ancient demon, there is no other mage in the world capable of dealing with an ancient demon!
Priest Abe's words silenced everyone present, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
"Now, the real demons have been resurrected, but what about our gods? What about the eight million gods of our Takamagahara mythology?" an official asked, clearly unwilling to accept the situation.
"That's right! You are priests who communicate with the gods! Now that the demon has been born, why don't you communicate with the gods and ask them to descend to earth to subdue this demon!?" Seeing the ever-increasing destruction in the video, these officials had lost their composure and began to grasp at straws in desperation.
They completely overlooked the fact that if these priests could truly summon their gods, why would they be standing here with them, just watching?
"I'm sorry, we don't have eight million gods." The Onmyoji to the left of Tenko suddenly spoke.
"How is that possible! You just mentioned ancient demons and gods! Why are you denying it now!?"
"Is it because you lack the ability? Are you simply unable to communicate with the gods?"
Some of the officials below had already lost their minds, and even on such an important occasion, they slammed their fists on the table and questioned the officials.
"What I'm about to say might be hard for you to believe, but according to true records, there were a total of eight immortal gods in history, and their corresponding myths took place in that ancient country."
"These eight immortal deities are known as the Eight Immortals in that country, but there are no detailed records of them in our native mythology..."
······
The scene fell silent for a moment, then another Onmyoji spoke up.
"We are saying this not to make you feel hopeless, but simply to help you calm down."
"Although we don't have gods to deal with this demon, we do have demons that can fight this demon!"
"The Demon King of Ghosts who once ravaged Japan, I believe everyone has heard of his legends and stories."
I want to tell you all that the Demon King of Shadows is real. It was our ancestors who sealed this demon king and his nine generals away.
"If you are not afraid of bringing disaster upon yourselves, we are willing to drive away the wolves and tigers, release one of the Ghost Shadow Generals, and let this Ghost Shadow General engage in a fierce battle with this ancient demon lord!"
The Onmyoji of the Abe family spoke with a solemn expression.
"Your Majesty, and all of you, the time has come for you to make your choice. Such a momentous decision requires your permission," the Grand Onmyoji of the Kamo family asked with equal seriousness.
"Gentlemen, if you release that Ghost Shadow General, will he choose to obey your orders to deal with that demon? I fear that the two demons might join forces and bring even greater disaster to Japan," the Prime Minister, sitting below, expressed his concerns.
"Please rest assured, Prime Minister, we two will personally take action. One of us will use our own body to suppress the will of the Ghost Shadow General, while the other will be responsible for the cleanup. After both of us have suffered casualties, we will then seal it away!" The priest from the Abe family immediately replied.
"Do any of you gentlemen have any further questions? If not, please make your decisions as soon as possible. You must know that this ancient demon lord is still wreaking havoc without stopping!" Japanese Tenko urged, looking at the officials below who were engaged in discussion.
If the mountain demon under surveillance continues to advance, Tokyo's prosperity may be destroyed!
"Your Majesty, I have no objection to this proposal!"
Upon hearing Tianhuang's urging, the current prime minister confirmed his opinion, and then all the officials expressed their agreement and seconded it.
"Since I'm the one who brought this up, then I'll be the one to wear the mask of this Ghost Shadow General!"
"Gentlemen, victory is assured!" Priest Abe took out the Ghost Mask, which had been sealed in Japan, from his robes.
This is the mask of the Blade Legion, capable of summoning a ghostly legion covered in spikes and claws.
When the mask was placed over the priest's face, Priest Abe's demeanor instantly turned somber.
A deep purple, cone-shaped mask, scarlet demonic eyes, a mouthful of sharp teeth, and two cone-shaped demonic horns—clearly the standard appearance of a demon.
The high-ranking officials and Tianhuang present were suddenly struck by this chilling aura, and instantly panicked, scrambling away from Abe's side.
"A demon! He's really become a demon!"
"
"Don't come any closer!"
The Onmyoji of the Kamo clan could only shake his head slightly as he watched his companions and rivals turn into this state.
"I'm leaving the cleanup to you!" After saying this, Priest Abe's demonic body disappeared into a patch of shadow beneath his feet.
At this moment, Abe, who had transformed into the Ghost General, still retained his rationality, so he immediately set off to stop Bo Gang's destruction.
