In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

"Yes, my husband, I will personally lead the troops to the expedition to Dajiang Mountain."

[You have once again embarked on the journey of killing ghosts. ]

【But this time, there are no longer just two of you. 】

[You lead the four heavenly kings you have trained and the foot soldiers assigned to you by Minamoto no Mitsunari, and set out towards Mount Oe.]

[You hurriedly traveled for several days and arrived at the pass of Mount Oe.]

[But you realize that this journey of slaying demons will not be easy. ]

[Because even at the mountain pass, you can feel the presence of ghosts. ]

[Oeyama has become a gathering place for ghosts! ]

125. The dangerous Oeyama under the control of Shuten-doji! (-word chapter)

Ghosts are born from various kinds of "thoughts".

And this kind of "thought" will obviously affect the surrounding environment where it exists.

For example, where there is a "wood spirit", the surrounding area will be filled with a faint fragrance emitted by the spirituality of the trees.

In a house like the one where the "Mingwu" is parasitic, people can hear the creaking sound of wooden boards when they walk in it.

In a sense, "thoughts" can be regarded as giving a special quality to the place where you are.

If a person is a powerful Onmyoji, he will be able to detect this abnormality at a glance.

And the Oeyama in front of us——

Ian's expression turned serious as he landed on the dark and deep mountain pass.

Not only are there countless "thoughts" intertwined here, even the mountain itself is in a state of being surrounded by many thoughts.

Rather than calling it by its own name.

It would be more appropriate to describe it as "ghost mountain".

In this environment, the abilities of the monsters themselves would probably be greatly activated, and each one would most likely be several times stronger than before.

Minamoto Raikou, who was standing by, quickly noticed Ian's abnormality and asked directly:

"Husband."

"From the looks of you, it seems this place is much more dangerous than you imagined?"

"Yes."

Ian didn't try to hide anything.

"Madam, I'm afraid we have to ask them to prepare in advance."

"I understand."

The cooperation between husband and wife has always been simple and clear.

Minamoto no Raikou turned around and said to the four adopted sons behind him in an imperative tone:

"Tsuna, Sadamichi, Jiwu, and Kintoki."

"According to my previous instructions, take action immediately."

"Yes!"

[Talented Great Onmyoji++ has been activated: The spells you prepared for all the Demon Blades begin to take effect. ]

[This is the most basic spell to control ghosts.]

[It does not kill the ghosts directly - but tells them that there is a powerful Yin Yang Master watching all this. ]

[In this way, the sensible monsters will naturally not dare to act rashly. ]

[Ghosts that are unaware of this are relatively easier to deal with. 】

[This is something you prepared specifically for this journey. ]

【But you know that this is far from enough. 】

[It is impossible that Shuten-doji does not have a way to deal with this kind of magic. 】

[And your premonition soon became a reality. ]

It's getting foggy.

The mountain was clear just now, but now a thick fog has appeared for no reason.

Even without dismounting to confirm, Ian knew that the fog was definitely caused by Shuten-doji.

Fortunately, he and Minamoto no Raikou always remained close.

So even in such a thick fog, they could still feel each other's presence.

"Ma'am, can you hear me?"

"Yes, I can still see you."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's answer summarizes useful information very succinctly.

This is cooperation between husband and wife.

Ian made a quick judgment.

This was simply fog transferred from somewhere else in the mountains, not a sorcery using the power of ghosts.

Then it will be much easier to handle.

Ian raised his hand and sensed the surrounding environment.

Soon, a ball of fire appeared in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, it spread in all directions at a terrifying speed.

Zila Zila.

The water mist in the air was burned away by the raging fire, making bursts of noise.

It only took Ian a short while to completely evaporate the mist around the two of them.

"Husband."

As the surroundings gradually became clearer, Minamoto no Raikou couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"If I remember correctly, you used the oil lamp in the corridor last time, right?"

"Then how did you make the flame appear out of thin air in your hand this time?"

Ian didn't hesitate and started explaining.

"There's a party going on nearby."

"banquet?"

Minamoto no Raikou heard a term that was almost impossible to appear here at this time.

Just as she was about to ask what was going on, she suddenly came to her senses.

That's right.

For "people", it is indeed impossible to hold a banquet at this time and in this place.

but if--

Is it a ghost?

For the ghosts of Oeyama.

It would be very interesting to see a group of people who didn't know what was good for them break into this territory and fall into the trap.

Maybe they are watching all this somewhere now and enjoying it happily.

Minamoto no Raikou thought clearly and looked at Ian beside him, and found that he was also looking at him.

Their eyes met, and the thoughts in their minds were self-evident.

"Are you kidding us?"

Minamoto no Raikou was holding the famous sword Kneemaru and looked a little angry.

As the eldest daughter of Genji, this was the first time she was teased like this.

"I think so."

Ian looked at the road ahead.

"And... I'm afraid it's not just this fog."

"Not just fog?"

"Yes." Ian nodded.

"Ma'am, we are no longer in the same position as before."

Looking at the different environment around him, Minamoto no Raikou did not doubt Ian's words.

But at the same time, she also had some doubts in her heart.

"But husband, didn't we take even a single step?"

"Yes."

“We literally haven’t taken a single step.”

As Ian said this, he took out his knife.

“But that doesn’t mean we won’t move.”

"…I don't quite understand." Minamoto no Raikou said truthfully.

"Please put it this way, ma'am."

"If there are chess pieces on a chessboard, and you want to move the pieces on it, how do you do it without touching them?"

"..."

Feeling that Ian was using this question to guide his thinking, Minamoto no Raikou began to think about it seriously.

Suddenly, she understood.

"Husband, could it be that you turned the chessboard around while keeping the chess pieces still?"

"Ma'am, you are really smart."

Ian looked at Minamoto no Raikou beside him with a smile, his eyes full of relief.

This is something that is often overlooked during chess games.

In fact, there are more things that can move than just chess pieces.

The chessboard is also something that can move - it is only because the rules restrict it.

As for the current situation, it is equivalent to Shuten-doji directly moving the land under their feet.

"Husband, this ghost seems to be quite powerful."

"Madam, are you afraid?"

"No."

Minamoto no Raikou stared straight at the road ahead with a determined look in his eyes.

"Rather, this is the first truly powerful ghost I've encountered."

"We can't lose to him."

"Sure enough, Madam thinks the same as I do."

Ian smiled confidently.

"Onmyoji really can't let the ghosts provoke him and then continue to swallow his anger."

[You absolutely cannot let Shuten-doji make fun of you like this.]

【You decide to crack it. 】

[Talented Great Onmyoji++ has been activated: You realize that Shuten-doji's magic and the ground are exhausted. ]
