Yomi has truly broadened her horizons today. Strictly speaking, in all her life, she has only ever seen one Class A evil spirit: Mitarashi Kazuhiro.

As a result, even though they hadn't fought yet, she could clearly sense the powerful aura emanating from the evil spirits that had just appeared, thanks to the Killing Stone within her.

There is no one weaker than the Mitarashi!

There were even a few, such as the beautiful, otherworldly-looking Hagoromo-Gitsune. Yomi seriously suspected that the other party was a legendary S-class evil spirit.

Before tonight, she had always thought that those terrifying S-class evil spirits from ancient legends had long been extinct.

So, people really do need to get out and about more...

Cough cough!

She meant that with so many terrifying enemies lurking around, she was truly afraid that Kagura in the air would be ambushed.

Although Kagura's Shikigami, Byakuei, is also an A-rank, Kagura has only recently taken over Byakuei and cannot yet fully unleash Byakuei's power.

"Oh."

With a reply, Kagura immediately and obediently landed beside Yomi.

This action, however, made Ryuji frown.

Even though Byakuei's strength is not as great as Big Dipper of the Tsuchimikado Family, he is still a very powerful Shikigami. In addition, since they are both Onmyoji, he originally planned to recruit him to his side.

But who would have thought that the other party was actually on the same side as that group of people of unknown origin?

"Hey! Little girl from the Tsuchimiya Family, just who are these people?"

Although he had no hope, Ryuji still asked the question anyway.

Upon hearing Ryuji's question, Kagura glanced at Sister Yomi and then at Bell, but ultimately said nothing.

Regardless, with Sister Yomi by her side, Bell's side is truly her own.

Bell smiled at Ryuji but said nothing. He had no intention of revealing their identities to him.

Although it wouldn't take much effort, the other party should be able to find out their origins. After all, very few Onmyoji use Wand.

But since the two sides are currently in a state of hostility, he is not so kind as to save trouble for his enemy.

While Bell and Ryuji were interacting, the executives of the other two factions were also scanning the many enemies present with hostility, paying particular attention to Bell and his group.

Unlike their thorough knowledge of the other two factions, they knew absolutely nothing about Bell and his group, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

But regardless of whether the opponent is strong or weak, Bai Rui's addition is not good news for them.

Moreover, judging from the other party's confident attitude, it doesn't seem like they're just playing the empty city ploy.

Bell certainly wasn't playing the empty city trick; he was genuinely fearless.

Indeed, Class A evil spirits are powerful. Most members of the Action Team are no match for Class A evil spirits in a one-on-one fight.

But the problem is, there are too many of them!

The opposing A-level evil spirits number only twenty or thirty in total, and they belong to two opposing factions.

Even excluding himself and Yomi, Bell still had 100 powerful wizards under his command. With a few of them working together, dealing with an A-level evil spirit wouldn't be a problem at all, would it?

As for the numerous low-level evil spirits, they are really only good for boosting morale; they are not even qualified to be cannon fodder.

"Young man, I wonder if you could give me the Killing Stone?"

Hagoromo-Gitsune suddenly smiled sweetly at Bell, revealing a pitiful expression.

"..."

At this moment, Bell really wanted to call Gabrielle and Phoebe over and let them broaden their horizons.

Look! Look at this! What is allure? This is allure!

The allure of the Veela bloodline that the Gabrielle sisters possess is utterly shameful!

No! It should be said that Veela's seductive skills are no match for the Hagoromo-Gitsune in front of her; she's not even qualified to carry his shoes!

Caught off guard, even Bell almost fell for it!

... Okay, actually he was already tempted, but after being kicked by Yomi from behind, he immediately came to his senses.

"Ahem! I'm sorry, I can't."

While fully activating his Occlumency and trying to dispel the remaining thoughts in his mind, Bell reluctantly refused Hagoromo-Gitsune's request.

"Young man, you should know that the Killing Stone was originally formed from my former body, so it originally belonged to me."

Not to mention, that brat who played with butterflies was planning to offer me the Killing Stone. Now you're keeping my things and not giving them back; that's not fair.

Seeing that Bell easily broke free from her charm, Hagoromo-Gitsune felt even more wary, but still tried one more time, unwilling to give up.

There was no way around it; the Killing Stone was simply too important to her.

If she could obtain the Killing Stone, her plan to resurrect her son would be able to advance significantly.

What? You're asking why this situation is happening now, even though the Mitarashi was already going to offer the Killing Stone to her?

Well, who would complain about having too much of something as good as the Killing Stone?

So one piece isn't enough.

Unexpectedly, the little devil playing with butterflies was so alert that he reacted the instant she made her move.

As a result, she was caught off guard and the other party got away.

This is why the Action Team was able to trap Mitarashi "easily" tonight.

They actually stole Hagoromo-Gitsune's "head".

So, it's all because of greed.

"You're kidding me!"

Having finally dispelled the charm effect completely, Bell dared to turn his gaze back to Hagoromo-Gitsune.

He immediately exposed the other party's lie without any hesitation.

"Let me tell you, I just came from next door. The origins of the Killing Stone are recorded in their scriptures. Don't try to fool me!"

Just kidding, the Killing Stone was only formed decades ago. By then, Hagoromo-Gitsune's body had already rotted away.

Moreover, even if she was a demon beast in her previous life, it has absolutely nothing to do with her now.

"..."

Although she hadn't expected that a few simple words would be enough to make the other party obediently "return" the Killing Stone, the fact that her lie had been exposed still left Hagoromo-Gitsune feeling both embarrassed and angry.

"How does this brat know so much!"

In fact, it was she who spread the rumor that the Killing Stone was formed from her physical body.

The purpose is that if one day they have the opportunity to obtain the Killing Stone, they can claim the righteous cause.

Those foolish Onmyoji, in order to cover up that shameful history, did not even have the thought of refuting the rumors, but instead fueled the flames behind the scenes.

Furthermore, since Onmyoji generally have short lifespans, few people in the Curse World now know the true origin of the Killing Stone, and instead believe the rumors.

Now, having suddenly encountered someone as "sensible" as Bell, to be honest, Hagoromo-Gitsune's feelings were quite complicated, and she couldn't quite describe them.
