"Not dead yet? I regret not checking thoroughly last time, but the next time I see him, I'll make sure he disappears from this world without leaving even a scrap behind."
After speaking, Senba Gari picked up a wooden club and swung it at the corpse's head; Phantom also began attacking the head of the corpse. As they were headshot, the fallen corpses did not crawl back up. With the continued attacks, the number of active corpses dwindled. When the last one fell, Senba Gari's expression remained calm.
"Phantom, even though these villagers are already dead, we must bear the burden of their deaths."
"Master, I understand your thoughts. I will do my best to find him."
"Let's set off."
Having said that, he drove off on Phantom.
"Master, including this one, there are three villages in the surrounding area. Where shall we go to look?"
"Hmm, we need to be quick. I hope the village hasn't been attacked yet."
With that, Senba Gari accelerated toward the village. When he arrived at the second village, it was just like the first: filled with silence. Are we too late? Phantom, let's finish this quickly and head to the next village. Just like the first, the villagers here had turned into living corpses. Senba Gari looked at a corpse over a meter tall lying under his hand, as if he could see a child from yesterday running around the village with a happy smile on his face. His expression grew increasingly calm, but the blood trickling from his hands betrayed the growing weight of the fury in his heart.
"Phantom, go to the next one."
Simultaneously, he rode Phantom toward the final village. Phantom's exhaust pipe spat out azure flames as it sped toward the destination.

"Help! Someone, save me!"
"Yuxiu! Wake up! It's me, your mother!"
"Mommy~ Mommy. Wuu wuu wuu~~"
When Senba Gari arrived at the destination, this was the hellish scene he witnessed. The monster from before was floating in mid-air, using its tentacles to capture villagers. As its right-hand claws pierced into their brains, the victims' bodies rapidly withered and fell, motionless. The corpses that had long since withered suddenly opened their eyes, glowing fiery red, and just like the previous villagers, they crawled up to attack the remaining people in the village. A small portion of the survivors had eyes glowing red, their faces twisted in madness and terror, constantly destroying everything they could or attacking their own bodies. Only a small fraction of the people were running away frantically, while those who could not abandon their families were being harmed or killed by their former loved ones.
"Damn it, Phantom, save them! Manifest! Transform!"
"Armor Manifestation - Armed - Garuda"
As the mechanical synthesized voice faded, Divine spread his flame wings and flew toward the monster, while simultaneously firing flames from his wings at the corpses' brains. Phantom raised its right-hand laser sword to attack the corpses, while its left hand fired chains to bind the maddened villagers. As the battle began, the situation unfolded.
The monster waved its tentacles, black winds swirling around them as it lashed out at Divine. Divine ascended into the air to dodge the attack and kicked at the monster, but the monster merely drifted back a short distance to dissipate the force.
"Stronger than last time, are you? But that doesn't change the fact that I will defeat you."
The monster, hovering in mid-air, looked at Divine and then revealed a look of realization.
"Oh, you actually found this place. It seems those two nests were discovered. Ithaqua really is useless after all."
"You can actually speak? You've gained intelligence? Then what are you? And what is your goal?"
"My name is Hastur. I am the great existence that dominates the wind. I will cleanse the filth of this world and bring purity to it."
Following Hastur's words, gusts of black wind formed in the surroundings, the whistling wind emitting an eerie, chilling laughter.
"Hastur, is it? But this 'cleansing' of yours is just destruction. It really suits your aura. Prepare to die."
"Weapon Manifestation - Flame Feather Blade"
Then, a ball of flame appeared in Divine's hand. As the flames shifted, the Flame Feather Blade materialized.
"An existence that cannot be understood should just disappear."
After speaking, Hastur extended his tentacles to lash at Divine while swinging his claws to charge. Divine swung his feather blade to parry the tentacles and raised his leg to kick at Hastur's incoming claws, neutralizing the attack. He immediately turned and swept his blade horizontally toward Hastur's abdomen, forcing Hastur back, then gained distance by flying upward. He fired flames from his back wings at Hastur, but Hastur gathered black winds to blow the flames away and charged at Divine once more. Divine pulled out his finisher card and inserted it into the slot.
"Weapon Finisher - Energy Storage - Exploding Phoenix Flame Feather"
The feather patterns on the Flame Feather Blade erupted with raging flames, gathering into the shape of a giant blade in mid-air. Divine then raised the giant flame blade and charged at Hastur. As he swung at Hastur, black wind surged from Hastur's body, and he transformed into wind, passing by Divine. Hastur reformed behind Divine, reached out to grab his leg, swung him in a circle in the air, and threw him to the ground. With a loud crash, a deep crater was smashed into the earth.
"Damn it, the gap is a bit too wide."
Divine, struggling to crawl out of the crater, wiped his left arm. The Beast Soul Bracelet appeared on his wrist with a faint glow, and he pulled the Garuda card out of the Beast Soul Driver and inserted it into the slot on the Beast Soul Bracelet.
"Awaken - Soul of Flame Feather"
"Aaaaaah~"
As Divine roared at the sky, a fire tornado enveloped him. Then, a piercing bird cry echoed through the heavens. As the flames dissipated, the beast-awakened Garuda stood in its place. Its wild eyes stared viciously at Hastur. Then, it pushed off with its legs and flew toward Hastur.
A Heart That Moves Forward (7) (Submitted by reader Yuan Yixinfei)
(Weather tip: I'm too lazy to write a tip)
With the appearance of Divine in his awakened state, a new phase of the battle began. Divine, wreathed in flames, charged at Hastur, who was wrapped in black winds. As the two collided, the sky erupted in violent explosions and flashes of fire; flames swept through the storm, and the storm blew away the flames. The collision between eagle talons and sharp claws sparked incessantly, creating a primal brawl. Hastur whipped up a storm, his body wreathed in hurricanes, and as he waved his tentacles, he continuously unleashed wind blades. Divine spread his wings, firing raging flames, and the two charged at each other repeatedly, crossing and separating. As they crossed once more, Divine let out a long cry, then spun his body, bringing flames together to form a fireball as he charged at Hastur. Hastur gathered his tentacles together to form a cone shape, waving the hurricane like a drill as he charged at Divine. The massive sound of their collision spread out, and two flashes of fire fell to the ground.
"Let's stop here for today, but my cleansing will come eventually. You cannot stop it."
After speaking, Hastur turned into wind and vanished.
As the firelight faded, Divine reverted back into Senba Gari. He struggled to support his body as he stood up.
"Damn it!! How did he become so strong? No, I must defeat him, otherwise..."
Having said that, Senba Gari collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.
When Senba Gari woke up, he was surrounded by several villagers.
"Are you alright, young man? Thank you for saving us."
"I'm fine! By the way, is everyone else okay?"
Upon hearing this, the surroundings fell into silence.
"How is it going?"
"Master, the villagers who turned into Ithaqua have been eliminated. We are preparing for a mass burial, but the villagers who were driven mad by that monster have all committed suicide."
"What!"
Upon hearing the report, Senba Gari's pupils constricted. He looked around to see the surviving villagers either carrying corpses or weeping while clutching their dead loved ones, while the surrounding ruined houses and tools bore silent witness to the criminal's atrocities. Senba Gari walked through the scene, witnessing everything around him; as he saw more, his anger flared, and he punched the nearby wall.
"Damn it!!!!"
With a roar, Senba Gari shed tears, his eyes filled with self-reproach and fury.
"If! If only I had realized it sooner."
As the bodies were piled up, the funeral began, and Senba Gari helped during the process. As the torches were dropped, the deceased villagers were consumed by flames, and the surrounding villagers prayed for them to reach nirvana and be free from suffering. Senba Gari approached the pyre and bowed three times to the bodies. When he stood up, his eyes were filled with determination.
"I'm sorry, this is all I can do, but I will carry the weight of your hatred. I won't let him harm the world again. May you find peace."
At this moment, an elderly villager came to Senba Gari's side.
"Young man, thank you for saving us! And thank you on behalf of them for mourning their lost families! Thank you!"
"Old man, I'm sorry. If only I could have arrived a little earlier..."
"Young man, don't blame yourself. Human strength has its limits, especially against such a vicious monster. That we are still alive is the greatest gift from the heavens. Besides, looking at the power you wield, you must have more important things to do."
"Yes, don't worry, old man. I won't let that monster go. I will definitely avenge the villagers!"
"Yes, young man, you must be careful. That monster is so strong, don't be careless. May the heavens bless you with safety."
After speaking, he looked back at the pyre, his eyes filled with nostalgia and sorrow.
After bidding farewell to the villagers, Senba Gari began to drive home.
"Hastur, is it! There won't be a next time. I need to go find that idiot Takai Geki for help."

In an open field, a howling hurricane formed the shape of Hastur, with traces of fire burns still lingering on his body. As more wind gathered, his wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the wind transformed into a yellow robe that draped over his wrinkled form.
"Interesting. If I hadn't misjudged the power, I might have been eliminated by him."
Following this, several lumps of flesh surged from his body and fell to the ground. As streaks of whirlwind converged, the lumps on the ground began to multiply and grow, and soon, strange monsters appeared on the earth.
"Ithaqua, Lloigor, Zhar, go and purify the filth."
As Hastur's words fell, the monsters on the ground either turned into wind, burrowed into the earth, or flew into the sky and departed. Then, Hastur also vanished from the spot.

In a dense forest, Takai Geki sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Your biggest flaw is your control. Whether it's the power of your attacks or the power of your suppression, everything is too loose. Someone like you will only be beaten and suppressed, and it's very easy for enemies to escape. First, calm your mind, perceive the existence of elements in the surrounding air through your senses, and then observe how they move."
Cirno sat on a tree, speaking to the meditating Takai Geki. Takai Geki listened to her words, recalling his two previous failures, and then tried to sense his surroundings as Cirno had instructed. However, other than feeling the chill of the breeze, there were no other changes. After a long while, Takai Geki opened his eyes.
"I can't feel anything. This is so hard. Ouch! Why did you hit me?"
Cirno retracted the branch in her hand and looked at him with a look of disdain.
"Do you think an idiot like you could learn it so quickly? Use your heart to feel it. Start by sensing the existence of the elements, then try to use the power you possess."
After hearing this, Takai Geki closed his eyes again, simultaneously summoning the Dual Beast Soul Driver into his hands. As his consciousness communicated with the driver and resonated with the beast soul within his body, strange colors began to emerge in his mind. Tiny, bright, and soft specks of light drifted in the air—red, yellow, green, blue—various colors danced in the air, forming a beautiful and tranquil scene.
"I see them. Those elements, they're beautiful."
"Now is not the time for you to be sentimental. Watch the movement patterns and changes of these elements for me, then try to communicate with them and make them change according to your thoughts."
Observing the changes in the elements, Takai Geki focused on the manifestation of each one. The red elements were warm and lively—the fire elements; the blue elements were quiet and pure—the water elements; the yellow elements revealed a sense of stability—those were the earth elements; the cyan elements were agile and vibrant, full of vitality—those were the wood elements... Various elements intertwined and flowed, dancing joyfully, forming the basic appearance of nature. Takai Geki reached out to touch the elements, attempting to communicate with them and gather them in his palm. As the specks of elements fell, a faint light began to emit from Takai Geki's hand. The light was soft and warm, like Mother Nature's caress for her child. But as Takai Geki trembled, the light dissipated.
"Failed, didn't I? I was too impatient."
"Not bad, there is progress."
Takai Geki looked at Cirno and smiled. Just then, his phone rang.
"Idiot Geki, where are you? I have something urgent to talk to you about."
"Is that so? I have something to talk to you about too. See you at the usual spot."
After speaking, Takai Geki hung up the phone.
"Who was that?"
Cirno asked curiously.
"My companion, a guy just like me."
"Oh, then let's go. I'd really like to see this guy who is just like you, my idiot servant."
With that, she took the lead and flew into the sky.
"Wait, let's not fly there. It's easy to cause a commotion, and can you hide those wings of yours?"
Takai Geki stopped Cirno and said with slight embarrassment.

"Bastard Gari, I'm over here!"
Senba Gari arrived at a restaurant, where Takai Geki waved at him from the entrance.
"Phew, idiot Geki, I discovered a troublesome matter. If we don't deal with it quickly, it's going to be a real pain. Who is this?"
After saying this, Senba Gari looked toward Cirno.
"I am this guy's master, Cirno!"
She puffed out her chest proudly as she spoke, and as her chest lifted slightly, Senba Gari began to blush.
"Hello!"
The Cirno before him had long blue hair draped behind her, and a blue ribbon at the back of her head highlighted her youthful vitality. The red-rimmed glasses on her face gave her a quiet, refined temperament, and her eyes revealed a glimmer of wisdom. A blue and white dress paired with black stockings made her look as cute as a girl next door.
"Idiot Geki, how did you end up becoming her servant?"
Senba Gari whispered to Takai Geki.
"She is the one who caused me to get injured that time, but her heart isn't bad. With me by her side, nothing will go wrong. Plus, she can even turn into this kind of loli! Hehehe."
"That last part is your real goal, isn't it? Idiot Geki, you'd better be careful, or it's going to be a real headache."
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
"What are you two whispering about over there!"
