White Wolf ignited every last bit of his Demon Power. This was an unprecedented crisis, the first time he had faced a power that threatened him with death.
His latent potential erupted. His fur stood on end, his wolf eyes turned ice blue, and Demon Power rose from his body as though it had taken physical form.
"Ice Wolf Ancestor Shadow!"
White Wolf unleashed a tremendous howl. It echoed between heaven and earth, pierced the sky, and shattered everything within a hundred meters.
Above his head appeared the shadow of an even more formidable and majestic white wolf, illusory rather than solid.
White Wolf had unleashed his forbidden killing move, consuming the power within his bloodline to summon a sliver of the Ice Wolf Ancestor Demon's shadow.
Only a true member of the royal lineage could use this ultimate technique. It was never to be unleashed unless there was no other choice.
The lifelike ice wolf looked down at Mingye, fierce and majestic, radiating the oppressive force of a higher order of life.
"Ice Wolf Ancestor Shadow? This pressure seems even stronger than a Great Yokai's... could it be an Ancestor Demon?!"
Mingye's gaze sharpened. He had experienced Tōga's pressure before, but the ice wolf before him carried a higher level of terror that bore down on his mind.
At that moment, the image of that mighty, imposing ice wolf also appeared within his sea of consciousness. It sought to suppress his mind and force him to bow!
"So what if you're an Ancestor Demon! With the sword in my hand, I'll cut down every enemy!"
Mingye roared within his sea of consciousness. His gaze flashed like a divine sword leaving its sheath, cutting through every apparition.
"Face my sword! Ice Dragon Blast!"
Mingye held his sword across his chest.
