Higokumaru: Meow Meow

The barrier around the Izumo Divine Kingdom was violently torn open by Higokumaru, exposing a massive breach.

Outside the barrier, densely packed yokai began pouring in.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the yokai truly begin to enter the divine kingdom, Takemikazuchi realized the gravity of the situation. Gripping the Totsuka Blade, he charged forward once again.

Facing the oncoming Takemikazuchi, Higokumaru, having already completed her task, pounced at him again. Her two enormous fox paws swiped at him without mercy.

But then...

"Meow!!!"

"That hurts, Big Sis!"

Looking at her bleeding paw, Higokumaru could not help letting out a catlike cry. The Totsuka Blade had actually cut her.

However... this completely enraged Higokumaru. Black mist spread across her body, and her wound was instantly healed.

At that moment, Higokumaru raised her forepaw and swiped again.

"Mist..."

Takemikazuchi looked at the mist covering the fox yokai before him. His instincts told him... this mist was the fox yokai's true body. Without giving it much thought, he hurriedly swung the Totsuka Blade again.

Just then... the other gods arrived as well. With the barrier compromised, this was no small matter. There was no time left to stand by and watch...

Meanwhile, vast numbers of yokai entered the divine kingdom from outside the barrier and clashed directly with the arriving gods.

"Miss Seele, I never expected you to actually be able to open the barrier... How impressive! No wonder Kano was willing to pledge loyalty to you. This time... I'll make these gods feel some pain too."

As the yokai continued pouring in, a young man with two horns walked over to Dark Seele's side, his tone filled with excitement.

"Black Flood Dragon King, as long as you don't compete with me for prey... everything else is negotiable." Dark Seele looked at the yokai
