From the perspective of time, Anfeng Mountain at this time no longer looks like a dot of sparks, but a blazing torch.
In the sky above the torch, a huge clock loomed. As the clock hands turned, lines of fire spread outward, spreading to various time and space where ghosts existed in history.
Fire trees and silver flowers, sparks are boundless!
And in the center of that spark, there was a drumbeat that kept ringing.
"drink!"
“Dongdongdongdongdong——!
! "
"drink!"
“Dongdongdongdongdong——!
! "
In front of two standing large taiko drums placed side by side, Tokiwa Shogo and Hidaka Hitoshi are playing the same music score together with the same but different techniques, strength and rhythm.
But when the drum beat reached its climax, their drum beats suddenly merged into one, no longer distinguishable from each other.
Not only that, the two of them, together with the taiko drums they played, also merged into one at this moment, and together they became a legendary figure.
Ring ghost!
Is it an illusion?
Is it true?
In the light, the legendary figure looked so illusory and yet so real.
The tall body is wrapped in well-proportioned muscles, and the skin exudes a dark light like steel. The face that also exudes a dark light has no mouth, nose, and eyes, only bright red patterns like Kabuki facial makeup. .
On the forehead is a coat of arms that looks like the ghost tiles of a temple and palace. On both sides are two unyielding and high-spirited ghost horns pointing toward the sky.
"drink!"
He used a pair of bright red ghost claws to hold a pair of equally bright red drumsticks, and with a sudden burst of shouts, he continuously struck the drum surface to create a unique and domineering sound.
“Dongdongdongdongdong——!
! "
“Dongdongdongdongdong——!
! "
“Dongdongdongdongdong——!
! "
Amidst the fast and fierce drumbeats, the hands of the huge clock in the sky suddenly "stuck" to a stop, and then began to reverse rapidly.
“Da da da da da—!
! "
“Dongdongdongdongdong——!
! "
The reversal of the clock hands formed a huge vortex, absorbing all the previously spread flames like a black hole.
Everything was converging, but after shrinking into a singularity, it suddenly exploded with the sound of the last drum, and blazing white light and bursting flames instantly filled the entire world.
then……
All visions disappeared.
The world returns to its original state.
Shore Peak Mountain.
Outside Onitsuka Shrine, in front of the two standing large taiko drums placed side by side, Tokiwa Shogo and Hidaka Hitoshi maintained their posture after beating the last taiko drum, panting heavily, and their bodies were dripping with sweat.
Among them, a knight's watch with a ghost face printed on the dial floats quietly.
【hibiki! 】
Yes, that is exactly Hibiki's knight watch!
…
…
What sign is Tsukuyomi waiting for?
When a sign appears, it is obvious to everyone without her having to say anything.
The first thing to show any abnormal movement was the demonized swarm.
They suddenly stopped and no longer attacked the Clear Sound barrier node in front of them. Instead, they all roared in anger and fear in a certain direction.
Under the earth, the sea of evil mist that had become thinner at the edge was no longer just ripples, but was stirred up into huge waves.
What happened next was the sound shikigami who were connected to the clear sound barrier.
They were originally quietly performing the task of constructing a barrier in stealth mode. Suddenly, they released their stealth one by one, and all of them screamed with high-spirited fighting spirit.
The ghosts at the scene were stunned by this sudden change, and they felt that new power suddenly began to flow from the depths of their exhausted bodies, and it didn't take long for them to return to their peak state.
Those ghost disciples who had been stuck in transforming into ghosts for several years suddenly felt blessed at this moment, and they all successfully transformed and became new combat powers.
This is not over yet.
Because the changes in the sound-shikigami continue.
Clusters of flames rose from their bodies, dyeing the entire Clear Sound Barrier with the color of flames.
The fire gave the sound-shikigami new powers.
Let their bodies grow rapidly in a short period of time, and soon they have exceeded two meters, three meters...
It looks like an eagle burning with flames - the Eagle of Flame!
Some older ghosts recognized this power that made the sound shikigami grow bigger.
"This is...an ancient ghost spell..."
The flame eagles screamed, and in the next moment they broke away from the barrier and flew towards the demonized eagles below.
Even so, the clear sound barrier that had turned into a "sea of fire" did not dissipate because of this. Instead, it shrank inward along with the activity of the Flame Eagle...
Wait, contraction?
Has the barrier begun to shrink?
Ah, it turns out that this step doesn’t need someone to push it?
Faced with the doubts of everyone in the Mengshi organization, Tsukuyomi did not explain the principle. It was not needed before, and it is even less necessary now.
The only thing she needs to do is to convey the most timely, appropriate and clear instructions to the ghosts who have become energetic again.
"Fight, gentlemen!"
Her warlike voice rang in everyone's ears.
"If we don't fight now, when will we wait?"
The battle begins again.
In the symphony played by the barrier establishment class that was more majestic, passionate and heroic than before, and even surpassed the original, the ghost warriors shouted with pride one after another, no longer sticking to one point, but actively moving towards demonization The sprites charged.
And this time, they no longer need Gates to move around like a firefighter to support them all the time.
After making up for the numerical gap, the ghosts of the Mengshi organization were finally able to prove to the demonized monsters why the demonized monsters have always been the prey of ghosts in the past thousands of years!
The counterattack launched by the ghosts went smoothly. The incoming demonized swarms were annihilated one by one, and the barrier of the clear sound rapidly shrank towards the earth purification ceremony site at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Therefore, the sea of evil mist spreading outwards is constantly being compressed by the barrier back to the earth purification ceremony site.
And with the return of these evil spirits, the demonized demons are constantly being cleared away. Under the earth purification ceremony, a consciousness that has been sleeping for a long time finally shows signs of awakening...
…
…
Beyond the battlefield, the desert of time.
On the zio-liner, Gates finally had a moment of rest. He had just removed his armor, and as soon as his mind relaxed, his body immediately fell uncontrollably. He managed to stabilize his body by trying to support the ground with both hands.
He lowered his head and saw some blood dripping on the ground.
He raised his hand and wiped it, and it turned out that his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were bleeding.
Not eating or drinking for two consecutive days, and using the geiz revive armor all the time, caused a lot of damage to his body.
But at the end of the day...
"I still haven't exercised enough and my body is not strong enough..."
Gates whispered to himself, and just as he was about to stand up, Izumi Yinzhi, who saw this scene, quickly stepped forward and helped him up.
"Gates, you..."
"Mr. Yin Zhi, I'm fine."
Faced with Izumi Yinzhi's concern, Gates shook his head and said in a relaxed mood.
Tsukuyomi glanced at Gates and nodded in agreement.
This small problem is not even a fatal injury, so there is really nothing to worry about.
However, Izumi Yinzhi, who did not understand the nature of the "Resurrectionist", only thought that Gates was forcing himself for the safety of the world and his companions, and he suddenly felt moved... and the more Gates explained, the more moved he became.
Gates: "..."
In the end, Tsukuyomi told a white lie, saying that Gates' injuries were really not worth mentioning in front of the medical technology of the Historical Administration, and then he appeased Izumi Yinori, who was trying to persuade Gates to go to the hospital.
Gates: "..."
If you don't listen to the truth, you have to listen to lies...don't blame me when you know the truth in the future.
He turned his head speechlessly and moved his eyes away from Izumi Yinzhi.
Tsukuyomi doesn't have any special feelings about this.
"Mr. Yin Zhi."
She raised the topic without changing her expression, and asked Izumi Yinzhi one last question amidst the roar of the zio-liner accelerating on the track.
"The time has come, are you ready to take back your earth purification ritual from the hands of the alien Hibiki?"
"certainly!"
Izumi Yinzhi replied without hesitation.
"I have been preparing for this for thirteen years!"
