"Gagagaga!"
With a piercing shriek, tangible hurricanes erupted from every direction.
Countless trees were uprooted.
The surrounding mountains trembled.
A terrifying presence swept over them, and a bizarre, spherical creature came into view.
"So this is Kūbō."
Feeling the pressure wash over her, Miko Yotsuya murmured, "What a terrifying monster."
Her eyes flickered, as though she could see countless souls wailing inside the monster.

Lin Luo smiled and said calmly, "Wind, seal off this area."
The instant his words fell.

"Little Yayoi, can you handle it alone?"
"With Master's blessing, I'll be fine."
Yayoi Hozuki opened the Spirit-Refining Pot, and powerful auras instantly surged into the sky.
Knowing she would be facing Kūbō.
She
