Intrusion! Tit for Tat!
On this day, the headquarters of Izanagi Style, a pillar of the nation, came under attack.
And it was an attack that came straight through the front gate.
"Bang—!"
Amid the explosion, the gate of Izanagi Style was blasted away, kicking up waves of scorching heat and filling the air with black smoke.
"Enemy attack!"

The Onmyoji of Izanagi Style were both shocked and enraged. They came rushing from all directions, scattering various talismans and tools as they ran, using them as substitute bodies to gather miasma and transform it into shikigami.
In an instant, all kinds of shikigami appeared.

Unfortunately, before they could even get close, they immediately received a crushing blow.
"Whoosh—!"
A white mist mixed with frost swept in from outside the gate, blanketing the surroundings like a blizzard.
