Chapter 80: Meeting the Emperor
Sumika couldn’t imagine the power that Shuten-doji had and required so many soldiers to kill in the Heian Era, now they had to face it as a group of just trainee onmyojis .
At 12 o’clock, the voice of Shuten-doji that echoed in the ears of everyone in Tokyo suddenly disappeared .
With the sound of the earth rumbling, in Ginza district, Tokyo commercial center, the earth began to crack inch by inch......
A 30-meter-tall behemoth rose from the ground, stood on the ruins of Ginza district and with its eyes closed motionlessly .
The behemoth was actually a human figure, its face was red and had crazily bulky muscles .
On the top, its bald head had few short red hair and long horns . Its waist was tied with a succulent animal skin, which made it look more like a horrible evil spirit!
Almost at the same time, warnings sounded in all the endowing notebooks simultaneously .
When the trainee onmyojis opened the notebooks, they saw a shocking notification .
“Shuten-doji- the king of the ghosts, has arrived at Ginza district and it’s now rapidly recovering its own strength . Every onmyoji please hunt it so as to end the Hyakkiyakou! Every second passed will restore and increase Shuten-doji’s strength . ”
“If you are unable to kill Shuten-doji in 12 hours, its strength would then reach the peak, then the real Hyakkiyakou will commence with the resurrection of the dead or injured tsukumogamis, ghosts and demons and their true bodies will be released into the world......”
[Kusanagi Sword, 8-footed Jade and 8-footed Mirror can deal great damage to Shuten-doji . ]
After browsing the information, Sumika was stunned . “We must eradicate the monsters and Shuten-doji, or the real Hyakkiyakou will come?”
All kinds of speeches and comments started on the onmyoji forum on the endowing notebook instantly .
“Twelve hours? Now it’s all misty . Not only the planes cannot take off, but the city is full of ghosts, we can’t even get to Tokyo from Nagasaki! What can we do?”
“Kusanagi Sword, 8-footed Jade and 8-footed Mirror...... Aren’t they the three great artifacts of our country that have been preserved and passed down by our emperors? How on earth can we get them? It is too impractical!”
“To deal with the tsukumogamis, ghosts and demons, we have to prepare all kinds of artifacts, spells and materials in advance, so that we can have the chance to win the battle...... Now we also have to fight Shuten-doji, it is too difficult!”
Some onmyojis closer to Shuten-doji started taking photos and upload them . “I am near Ginza and I saw the Shuten-doji, who is now sleeping and recovering its strength! It is too big . We can’t even fight it......”
“We are now outside the Imperial Palace where a lot of security guards were guarding . We have collectively submitted a handwritten letter to request a meeting with the emperor and stated the great harm of the Shuten-doji . But until now, the Emperor has not yet replied......”
Some impetuous onmyojis tried to reach the emperor, but the huge difference in identity restricted their move .
As many were complaining on the forum, Sumika also saw a group of onmyojis with strong minds and great thinking abilities posted that they were now gathering outside the Imperial Palace and welcomed everyone to join them .
They would meet the Emperor of the Emperor, regardless of whether they could obtain the three artifacts, they must join hands to fight against the Shuten-doji .
Without hesitation, Sumika, who was patriotic, decisively signed her name, submitted the information of her artifacts and contact information and began to rush to the Central District .
The Imperial Palace was located in the center of Tokyo, which covered an area of about 17 hectares and was a palace occupied by Japanese emperors and their family members . It was divided into Imperial House, Outer Garden, East Garden and Kitakamiru Park .
When Hyakkiyakou just started, some onmyojis who cared about the safety of the Emperor, took the initiative to set up a magic circle outside the palace and spared no effort to eliminate the monsters near the palace .
Nearly 2 hours later, there were a total of more than 6,000 trainee onmyojis recruited and sixteen representatives were selected . The huge onmyoji organization began to request for a meeting outside the palace .
Among the chosen representatives, Sumika was a girl, which made people feel a little contempt, but considering the sequence number, Sumika was far ahead of anyone .
Hence all the representatives agreed that she could enter the palace and meet the Emperor along with them .
Many onmyojis even publicly claimed or advocated that the smaller the sequence number you had, the more you were valued by the gods of Takamagahara, hence Sumika, who owned the endowing notebook with number 1, was admired by others even though she looked very young and immature .
They even called her Ono Senpai in respect .
Two hours ago, there were several onmyojis requesting to borrow the three artifacts to expel the Shuten-doji outside the palace . In the eyes of the current Emperor, it was nonsense .
However, the number of onmyojis reached 7,000 as 50% of onmyojis in Tokyo gathered outside the palace, thus the Emperor could no longer turn a blind eye to it .
If he irritated them, who would protect the security of the palace once the tsukumogamis, ghosts and demons showed up again?
After a cumbersome inspection, the 16 representatives walked through the long palace wall promenade and finally came to the main hall .
