Chapter 108: Absorbing Darkness

  At the moment when Yakumo Moku expressed his wish, a large amount of black fog surged out from the throne above.

  Weird, oppressive, nauseating.

  Facing this foggy Ba Yun Mo, a surge of waves in his stomach.

  "So, that's 'Darkness of Another World'!?"

  Mei's voice trembled uncontrollably.

  The surging fog churned and suddenly, as if time had stopped, the fog ceased its movement.

  This mist is actually a miracle of the Elf King fulfilling the winner's wish.

  It was from Ilsa that they learned the mist was not under the control of the Elf King, and would automatically come to fulfill the wish when the winner spoke their desire.

  However, if the wish itself and the Spirit King were to conflict, this power would have a temporary pause in order to repair this conflict.

  That brief moment was the only chance.

  "Come forth, Frozen Fang of the Ice Beast... 'Fenrir'!!"

  Behind her, Linselette summoned the ice spirit Fenrir.

  A majestic and massive white wolf rushed up, standing beside Yiyun Mo, and a burst of icy snow spewed out from its wide-open mouth.

  "My companions! If you still have a heart in your chest, listen to my voice!!!"

  The howling wind and snow scattered the water-mirror-like hair, and Isa emerged from Fenrir's mouth with a loud roar.

  "Goodbye, goodbye..."

  A low voice came out of the darkness surrounding the throne.

  "Hurry up...... get moving......"

  Indeed, Isa was able to summon the remaining sanity of the Spirit King

  A huge, slowly rotating magic circle immediately appeared behind Mo Xi's body.

  Innumerable barrages were fired, covering all areas above in an instant.

  "Cheers!!!"

  With the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword in hand, Mei jumped down beside the throne.

  "Spirit King! Wake up!!!!!!"

  With both hands grasping the sword, Ming Ri Na fiercely stabbed into the light pillar of the Fire Spirit King!

  "Fuuou Bakusenjin!!"

  Alice, who was right behind him, thrust the Wind Wing Gun in her hand!

  A howling hurricane instantly filled the entire grand hall.

  "Flame King's Breath!!"

  "Break Ice Great Spear!!"

  From behind, Linselette and Kurea's attacks are coming one after another!

  "Feel the wrath of water!! — Water Dragon Blast!!"

  The water-blue magic circle in front of her body emitted a roaring water dragon!

  "Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!!!!!!"

  A loud rumbling sound echoed throughout the great hall.

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  A mournful howl echoed from within the pillar of light of the Fire Spirit King.

  A shockwave suddenly erupted, sending Minato and Alice flying backward from the front.

  "Tomorrow!!"

  Yakumo Moku maintained the barrage while sending out a wisp of mystical energy that caught Akane and Alice.

  "Whoosh!!!!!!"

  A flash of sword light.

  "What?!"

  "Whoa!!"

  A sharp sword pierced through the light pillar of the Fire Spirit King.

  The god-like figure holding the sword of truth gazed fixedly at the throne with scarlet eyes.

  "Is it the Wind God!?"

  "I didn't expect you guys would do something like this too..."

  By ambushing and defeating the five Elf Princesses, the Divine Human had secretly infiltrated the deepest part of the Grand Temple.

  "Hurry up and help!!"

  With a twist of the hand grasping the sword that pierced reality, the black sword suddenly slashed horizontally and cut off the light pillar!

  "Green hills everywhere in life!"

  "Seductive demon!!"

  Yakumo Mukuro quickly launched a series of attacks after regaining his composure.

  "I'm here to help!"

  Behind her, the Water Spirit King Iza raised both hands.

  "Nourishing all things with hope, destroying the earth with despair——"

  "——Hakuma Suirenka!!!"

  A column of water shot up into the sky, submerging the throne of the Fire Spirit King.

  "Did it succeed?"

  Below, everyone looked at the Fire Spirit King who was being attacked by concentrated firepower with a mixture of anticipation and worry.

  Suddenly——

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  This time it was not the Fire Spirit King who let out a roar, but the remaining four Great Spirit Kings!

  "Not good!"

  Isa's face showed surprise.

  "I can only temporarily suppress my true self, but the remaining three are beyond help..."

  Indeed, the darkness emanating from the throne of the Water Spirit King remained entwined around the throne, but the darkness emanating from the thrones of the Earth, Wind, and Holy Spirit Kings suddenly filled the entire grand hall.

  "Huh?!"

  At the moment when he touched his own body in the darkness, Yakumo Sumeragi suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon.

  Those darkness, seems to be absorbed by itself.

  How come?

  In great surprise, Yayoi Sumi immediately checked her internal condition.

  In the spiritual ocean, the fantasy seeds that have grown much stronger than three years ago are spinning wildly, and those darkness are being continuously absorbed like encountering a black hole.

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  Below, the painful wails of Asuka and others suddenly echoed.

  "Akane!! Yui!!!"

  Akane and others surrounded by darkness have fallen to the ground, their bodies convulsing in agony.

  "Never mind, let's save them first!"

  Ignoring the darkness being absorbed by himself might lead to a bad situation, in order to save Akane and Yui, Yakumo Suke began to actively use the Fantasy Seeds to absorb the dark energy that was gushing out from the Spirit King's throne.

  A whirlpool of darkness formed around Yakumo Sukehiro's body in the grand hall.

  A massive amount of darkness surged into his body in an instant, and Hachiguma Sumi felt the demonic energy within him suddenly go berserk.

  "Whoa!!"

  This time the blood sprayed out was no longer the dazzling gold color of the past, but a dark golden color!

  "Both of you, come here!!"

  With a loud roar, Ba Yun Mo ignored the intense pain transmitted from within his body and continued to increase the intensity of his absorption.

  "This, this..."

  Isha below stared blankly at Yakumo Sukehiro who was absorbing darkness, unable to say a word.

  Because the darkness was absorbed by Yakumo Suke, Akatsuki My Daya, who had escaped from the erosion, knelt on the ground, raised her head and looked at Yakumo Suke, covering her small mouth and sobbing silently.

  "Take advantage of it now... you all get out..."

  Hanging her head in shame, Yaichi Mukai gave Minato a somewhat pained smile.

  "No, no..."

  Shaking her head, Akane just stared at Yakumo Sumeragi without budging.

  "Monster! Isa! Take them out!!"

  "Take care of yourself!"

  Iza took a deep look at Yagumo Mukuro and finally lifted Akatsuki with the god, leading everyone out of the grand hall.

  It wasn't until everyone had left that Yakumo Sumeragi took a deep breath.

  Staring intently at the five thrones not far away, the purple light in Baiyun Mo's eyes grew stronger and stronger.

  As that dark energy continued to surge into his body, he felt his mind becoming increasingly heavy.

  No way, can't fall down yet——

  Looking at the darkness still being released from the throne, Yakumo Mokuto bit his tongue sharply.

  The pain cleared his somewhat dizzy brain a bit.

  "What was I thinking, getting involved in this mess?"

  It seems that the power of fantasy that had settled down after this world was born has been absorbed, and it will be able to return to Gensokyo in a little while. However, at the last moment, it got involved in such an affair.

  As time passed, the darkness emanating from the throne began to subside.

  The spirit of the Elf King emanating from the light pillar that enveloped the throne also changed from brutal to gentle and peaceful from the very beginning.

  "Guest from another world, let us help you!"

  An old voice suddenly appeared in Bachiru Moku's mind.

  "Who are you?!"

  "We are the Spirit Kings!" 5

  Five voices sounded at the same time, and surprisingly, they included the Water Spirit King Ilsa, who was supposed to have left already.

  A brilliant light filled the great hall, a refreshing power surged into Ba Yunmo's body.

  "That thing inside you must have been created by a god with an extremely high divine rank, and in theory, it should be able to thoroughly suppress and absorb this darkness."

  "Let us, the Spirit Kings, lend you all our power!"

  In an instant, Baiyun Mo's mind went blank, and under the impact of the powerful force, he lost consciousness.

  In the spiritual sea, the seeds of fantasy shattered, and a small sapling with lush green leaves was born.
