-------------------------------
Miroku floats towards the giant hexagonal tform located in the center of the sealing formation.
"A seemingly giant eye is carved in the center of the hexagonal tform."
Miroku levitates in mid-air and makes some hand signs while chanting.
"Fuu, Sai, Dan, Gika, Ragu, Bagi!"
She horizontally crisscrosses her arms.
Rumble Rumble
Four small tforms rise from the edges of the hexagonal tform. Miroku makes a hand seal and inserts the four floating orbs into their respective tforms.
"Release!"
She makes a Ram seal and the entire sealing formation light up.
Rumble rumble
The entire temple shook slightly and theva inside the formation drains to reveal a giant carcass of a flood dragon with eight heads.
Ominous chakra, in the form of a purplish ck cloud, rises from the body of the dragon. The chakra slowly gathers into a giant sinister apparition and lunges at Miroku in an attempt to swallow her.
Kuku kuhaha
Bzzt
Lightning crackles from the token in Miroku''s hand and creates a dark green barrier to protect her. The apparition rams into the barrier.
Aaah Muah
A portion of the ominous chakra evaporates upon the impact. Shrill screams fill the entire chamber as the apparition yelps in agony.
Miroku tightly clutches the token in her hand and hugs it to her chest.
"I hope you will make it on time."
ROAR
The apparition releases an anguished roar and continues to tackle the barrier while inflicting self-harm.
Outside the temple
Rumble Rumble
The ground shakes violently, resulting in andslide from the nearby hill.
"What what''s going on?"
One of the guards stationed outside gulps his saliva.
"I hope Miko-sama is alright," Jin worriedly stares in the direction of the temple.
*RUMBLE*
The ground in front of them split apart and an army of rock soldiers crawls out of it.
"The demon army!!"
The group''s expression turns ugly. They brandish their weapon and charges at the iing rock army.
"The demon execution army of the Land of Demons was formed for this day. Today we will fulfill our duty. Charge!"
The squad of fifteen people charges at an army of 100 rock soldiers.
Boom Boom
Sounds of explosions and collisions drown the silence of the night and light up the new moon night.
Hmm
Yomi, who is slowly walking through the ruins of the shrine, raises his head and stares in the direction of the ancient temple.
"I can feel it! My body it''s sealed there."
Mry''s hoarse voice echoes in Yomi''s ears.
"The priestess is also there. She has removed the seal on my body and is currently engaged with the remnant consciousness within my body. Let''s hurry up before she finds some other way to seal or destroy my body."
"Yes, my lord!" Yomi nods and dashes in the direction of the south-eastern valley.
Swoosh
Soon, he arrives on the edge of the valley and notices a bunch of guards engaged with the demon army. Yomi raises his hand and gathers some chakra in his palm to send an attack at the guards.
"It''s inside that temple Quick!"
Mry urges Yomi. Yomi lowers his hand and stares at the massive gate of the temple.
Haah
He makes some quick hand signs.
"Medial Ninjutsu: Dark Physique Enhancement"
The muscles in his arms swell out of proportion like a balloon. Yomi clutches his fist and punches at the stone gate.
"Dark propulsion fist"
BOOM
Yomi''s punch st apart the stone gate into smithereens.
Swoosh
His hands return to normal size, as Mry remarks.
"I still can''t disy my entire strength with this weak body." He shakes his head in disappointment and walks inside the temple inrge strides.
Along the way, Yomi continues to st apart one trap after another.
BOOM
With another punch, he sts apart the giant Torri gate protecting thest seal.
"Ah!"
Miroku''s expression turns ugly as she slowly turns her head towards the exit.
Yomi walks towards her with steady footsteps.
"Imperial doctor Yomi! It''s you you are the one who released the demon from its prison"
Miroku exims in disbelief as she recognizes Yomi.
"Why? Why did you do this? Why would let this demon out of its prison?"
Haha
Yomi releases a peal of creepyughter as he confronts Miroku face-to-face.
"Why you ask? Haha because it was you who dismissed this kind of doctor Yomi seven years ago. I saved hundreds of lives and treated thousands of people of the Land of Demon."
"Kind?! You are a monster who sacrificed hundreds of children in the name of medical research. You even had designs on my daughter!" Miroku''s expression turns ugly.
"A few sacrifices are necessary for the sake of the greater good. This world is rotten and I will do my part to make it a better ce. But you refuse to cooperate with me to discover the mysteries of your Dojutsu." Yomi has a fanatic expression on his face.
"You relinquished your soul to the demons and now you preach about a better world! Back then, I should have asked Fudo-san to behead you." Miroku spats at Yomi in disgust.
"Haha that fool died a horrific death. He discovered my secret; he discovered my lineage; so how I can let him scot-free." Yomi has a distorted expression on his face.
"You you you are a descendant of the Akuma n! You are the one who murdered Fudo!" Miroku points at Yomi with trembling fingers.
"That''s what he deserves for ruining my dream of a utopia. Now it''s your turn for standing in my lord''s way. Haah"
"Cut the chit-chat and kill her!"
Mry roars at Yomi as an uneasy feeling overwhelms him.
"Yes, my lord!" Yomi answers like a fanatic and makes some hand signs.
"Dar Burst Neb"
He releases a burst of dark violet energy at the barrier.
BANG
The barrier shatters like ss and Miroku is sent flying. She ms into the walls of the cavern as blood trickles down from her head.
Argh
Miroku clutches her forehead in pain and pulls out a handful of talismans from her belt.
She closes her eyes for a moment and chants.
''I hope it can buy me enough time.''
"Reunite my body! I have a bad premonition." Mry urges Yomi.
Swish
Yomi removes his cloak and unzips his trench coat to veal his bare chest.
Swish swoosh
With a flick of his hands, he slits opens his chest with a scalpel. Yomi leans down and ces his hand on top of the eye on the hexagonal tform.
"Jin, Saru, Dan, Ragi, Reppyou, Raku, Shou!"
He ms his palm on the eye to remove the final seal.
ROAR
The flood dragon beneath the tformes back to life. The chakra apparition swallows Yomi and gushes inside his chest.
Haha
"This feeling this feeling of reuniting with my body. What ecstasy!"
Mryughs hysterically.
Rumble rumble
The giant flood dragones back to life. The central head opens its mouth and swallows Yomi.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!... This is not what you promised me, my lord!"
Indignant roars of Yomi echo from Mry''s mouth.
"Only a fool trusts the words of a demon. You were nothing but a disposable vessel for me on my journey to regain my body. Now you have fulfilled your purpose."
Shiing
Dark violet chakra engulfs the entire body of the giant flood dragon.
"Now the world shall know despair! Haha"
"Release!"
Amidst Mry''s cackling Miroku''s faint sound echoes in the sealing chamber.
Rumble Rumble Swish swish
Four huge purple chakra chains erupt from the floating orbs on the tform and wrap around Mry''s body.
"Kenshiro Senju!"
Mry roars in anger at the backup n of Kenshiro.
"You weren''t able to kill me when you were alive. Do you think you can stop me now when you are dead?"
Bzzt
Lightning flickers through the chains as Mry struggles to free himself.
"I won''t let you!"
Miroku throws a handful of talismans at Mry. The talismans float in mid-air and bombard Mry''s body with all sorts of jutsus.
"Futile efforts!"
Mry shields himself with one of his wings. He waves his other hand and hurls a flurry of wind des at Miroku.
Swish swish nk
Miroku gets blown away by the wind des. Blood drips down her from her wounds.
Snap
Snap
One by one Mry snaps the chains binding him.
Swirl
Dark chakra swirls around him as his body condenses rapidly. He gains a humanoid shape as two chains still bind his left hand and leg.
"This body ain''t bad!"
Mry admires his new appearance. He retains the same look as Yomi except for violet hair and red eyes.
Snap snap
He snaps the remaining two chains with his right hand.
Crack crack
Mry cracks his tongue and turns towards Miroku who is barely holding her consciousness.
"An uneasy feeling has been bothering me since the moment I stepped into this temple. This must be your doing. I will eradicate you and your bloodline for once and all."
Shiing
He condenses a long dark chakra de and swings at Miroku.
"Now, DIE!!"
BOOM
"I am notte am I?"
