Chapter 103: The Water Spirit King

  This is an additional chapter 4/4!

  Never had a day with so many chapters, poi~

  "What is... a demon?"

  The girl asked again when she saw no reaction from Yayoi Moku.

  "It's nothing, don't mind it."

  Wave goodbye, Bachyun Mo looked at the girl in front of him.

  "Are you an elf?"

  The girl nodded after a moment of silence.

  The highest-ranking humanoid spirit.

  If Yagumo Ink is a Spirit Master, he should have adjusted his posture to show respect by now.

  However, he is a demon and his identity in this world is also an elf.

  "What's your name?"

  For this girl, Yakumo Suke had a certain inexplicable affection, and he also slightly lowered his guard against her.

  However, when Yakumo asked for her name, the girl averted her gaze and didn't seem to plan on answering.

  Since that's the case, Yayoi Mokou decided to change the subject.

  "So, may I ask what place is this?"

  The girl remained silent.

  Baiyun Mo raised an eyebrow, wasn't he going to answer either?

  "I don't know."

  Just as Bachiko Moku arrived at the entanglement, the girl suddenly replied with a sentence.

  I don't know?

  What does this mean?

  "I... don't have memories from before..."

  Baiyun Mo's heart was clear about it, had he and Aisi Te met with the same situation?

  A spirit that has separated from its physical body and only retains a portion of its power will lose some of its memories due to the severe loss of energy.

  However, Yakumo suddenly remembered that when this girl first appeared, she seemed to have said something about the stone wall.

  "But you seem to know something about the spirits on the stone wall?"

  The girl nodded.

  "Exterminating Demon Holy Sword Aester, also known as the Exterminating Demon King's Holy Sword. Additionally, that Blazing Silver War Maiden - Autrinede, was a revered figure in the ancient wars of the spirits thousands of years ago, feared under the name Crimson Princess, an Infernal Spirit."

  "Haven't you lost your memory?"

  The demonic energy in Bayun's body began to stir slowly, and his eyes also became sharper.

  The girl seemed to be unaware of the faint hostility emanating from Yakumo Mokuroku.

  "I've been confined in this underground palace for so long that I can only spend my time deciphering the history on those stone walls."

  Being locked up here?

  That's sealed, if it's a spirit, physical imprisonment is useless.

  In this case, this elf girl understands ancient elven language.

  Moreover, what's worth noting is why the aura on this girl makes him feel so familiar.

  Although this familiarity was far from comparable to his feelings towards his own sister, Hoshikawa Utaha, it was enough to make Yakumo Mukuro pensive.

  The intuition of monsters is often more reliable than reason.

  "Are you being sealed in this place?"

  The girl nodded.

  "I only remember things after being sealed here, everything before that I've forgotten, but... there's a name that has always lingered in my heart, it seems to be very important."

  "What's your name?"

  Isn't this girl unwilling to tell him her name?

  The girl shook her head and then nodded.

  "What does this mean?"

  "I don't know if that's my name."

  Has it already come to this?

  "Can you tell me, what's his name?"

  “…………iseria·seaward。”

  The girl spoke out this name.

  She slightly widened her ink-like eyes, and Ba Yun Mo stared fixedly at the girl in front of her.

  Isaria Tiwa!

  If what he saw in the library of El'goroth's Spirit Academy was correct, this name... is that of the Water Spirit King!

  "Are you sure it's Isaria Thiova?"

  "Uh-huh."

  The girl blinked her beautiful gem-like eyes and quietly looked at Yakumo Mokuro.

  "That name is the name of the Water Spirit King."

  "I know, but I just can't remember anything except this name..."

  This seemingly harmless girl in front of me is going to be the Water Spirit King!?

  Baiyun Mo suddenly felt that the world and himself were playing a huge joke.

  Suddenly, he remembered that before finding Akane, when cooperating with Rubia, the former contractor spirit Restia of that god seemed to have mentioned it.

  Three years ago, the Godslayer won the Sword Dance Festival under the name of Lien Asuberu and made a wish to the Spirit King for his own death.

  At that time, the god-man assassinated was the Water Spirit King.

  It's not easy...

  "If I were to say if, if I were to unseal you, would you be able to regain your former memories and strength?"

  "It's impossible in terms of strength. After all, even if the seal is released, it will still be separated from its main body. But memories should be possible."

  The girl answered like this.

  The true nature of the Spirit King is not as brutal and mad as it is now, but rather because it has been invaded by the "Darkness from Another World".

  The maiden sealed here, if she is indeed the Water Spirit King wounded by the assassination of the gods, then after the seal is lifted, her true body still in the deepest part of the Spirit Temple will not go mad when regaining her memories.

  After all, the main body's strength has not returned yet.

  Even if she goes crazy and doesn't recover her strength, Yakumo Suke has confidence in suppressing her.

  "Strange spirit, can you get me out of here?"

  The girl looked at Yagumo Taro, and her eyes showed a few hints of hope.

  "I can sense it, there's a strange aura about you, if it's really you, you should be able to."

  Even if sealed away, can you still sense the identity of a monster?

  Baiyun muttered a sentence in her heart.

  "Give it a try!"

  If she is indeed the Water Spirit King, then freeing her will undoubtedly unravel many of the mysteries that have been troubling herself.

  Why did I become a spirit?

  And... what exactly is that so-called darkness of another world?

  "Then take me to the central seal."

  To break the seal, directly destroying it from within by force is naturally the most direct method.

  Luckily, Yakumo Yuko is a youkai, and the power within her body is youki.

  Due to this seal, in addition to sealing the spirit, it will also greatly weaken the effect of divine energy. If Yakumo Mukuro is using the method of a Spirit User to set up the ritual dance, the effect will be greatly discounted.

  The seal itself did not specifically target powers other than God's power, so it was naturally irrelevant to demonic energy.

  Under the girl's lead, after turning left and right in the underground palace, they finally arrived at the Sealing Hall located in the deepest part.

  "Over there, at the very center of the grand hall, is the high altar where the seal is located. I am unable to get close."

  As the object of sealing, the girl naturally cannot approach the center of the seal.

  "Give it to me."

  Taking a deep look at the girl beside him, Yakumo Mokou stepped up onto the high platform's staircase one step at a time.

  The closer he got to the top of the high platform, the more pressure Eight Clouds Ink could feel from the seal on himself.

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  When there were still three steps from the top of the high platform, a thread of golden blood had already seeped out from the corner of Bayun Mo's mouth.

  Step by step, Bayun Mo finally stepped onto the high platform.

  "Hah...... Hah...... Hah......"

  With both hands propping up the stone table at the top of the high platform, Ba Yun Mo was panting heavily, his chest heaving like a bellows.

  "Drip......drip......"

  Sweat dripped from his forehead onto the stone table.

  Looking at the complex seal pattern on the surface of the stone table, Bachiko smiled with a smirk.

  "It's just a seal..."

  "You just wait and see!!"

  Eyes like ink, a mysterious and beautiful magic array appears.

  Surging demonic energy filled the Sealing Temple, and for a time, the entire underground labyrinth began to shake.
