"AAAAARGH!"
An especially shrill scream suddenly burst from Takeki Kakeiin's mouth.
A pitch-black gap had appeared where his left eye had been.
"W-What happened? My eye..."
The Thunderbolt-style clan head, wrapped in a mass of serpents, clutched his injured left eye and cried out in agony.
"It's right here~"
Across from him, Little Kyoukotsu held her father's skull in both hands, wearing a wicked grin.
Takeki Kakeiin, possessed by a demon bear, endured the searing pain and looked over with his remaining right eye.
To his shock, an eyeball had appeared at some point within the skull's left eye socket, slowly rolling about.
His Sixth Sense told him that it was his own left eye.
"When your second eye is taken too, your skull will become one of them after you die. Your entire skeleton will turn into a warrior under my command, and your soul will be trapped inside your bones forever. You'll watch with your own eyes as you kill your clansmen, your loved ones, your family, turning them into 'companions.'"
Every word Little Kyoukotsu spoke was like a whisper from a demon.
Corresponding scenes surfaced one after another in Takeki Kakeiin's mind.
At the same time,
With a series of muffled thuds, headless skeletal undead burst from the surrounding ground.
The skulls wrapped in Aoda floated around them, flying back and forth.
The entire scene was steeped in terror.
And when Takeki Kakeiin "saw" his headless skeletal self kill his wife with a bone sword,
Then swing it at the young Mamiru,
He finally lost control of his composed emotions and let out a hysterical roar.
"NO!!!"
"Oh? You're scared. I can feel your fear~"
"As an onmyoji, you should know that you can't be afraid when fighting us."
A smug smile appeared on Little Kyoukotsu's face.
