Yaeji's body was shaking uncontrollably. At this moment, he could no longer maintain his calm mind.
The pink and purple eyes are like the most essential crystalline part of the monster's body.
The originally delicate little face gradually turned ferocious, like a real high-level monster, and the ferocious aura that erupted all over his body made many patrol members breathless.
Nozawa was sweating profusely, and the muscles around his eyes were tense. He looked at the ghosts and banshees surrounding Yaeji again!
"If something happens to Rin, you all have to die for her!"
Yae Ji looked in the direction of the castle tower. The shrine was on the highest floor of the entire Yae Village, and he was standing on top of the temple. From here, he could vaguely see figures surging in the castle tower in the distance.
'Rin! Rin! Rin!'
The memory of Rin exploded in his mind, and Yaeji jumped up with all his strength. His whole body turned into an afterimage and disappeared above the temple, rushing towards the castle tower.
Seeing Yae Ji leaving, Nozawa covered his heart with his hands and gasped for air.
"Plop~"
The frightened Hiyoshimaru was even more unbearable. He lost his will and persevered, and fell to the ground. There was an unpleasant smell emanating from his crotch.
Several patrol members were still confused and it took them a while to come back to their senses.
They looked at each other, everyone's eyes filled with fear.
"Don't worry, Master Ji just went to the canyon this morning to clean up the monsters, so he is full of murderous aura as expected. Now! Hurry up and catch up with Master Ji! Have you forgotten what the Lord God told you?!"
Nozawa yelled, waking them up.
Several patrol members twitched their faces. They had just cleaned up the monsters in the canyon this morning? Is there some murderous aura in them?
It's okay if you don't say it, but after saying it... they feel like their calves are getting weak.
If they remembered correctly, there were at least twenty monsters in the canyon...
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Nozawa was the first to rush over, and the other patrol members could only follow Nozawa bravely.
As for Hiyoshimaru, whose eyes were dull and whose body was stained with urine, no one paid any attention to him.
...
Castle Tower.
The crowd gathered, and it was so dark that it seemed that most of the people in the whole village were here.
Rin Yae, still wearing the same cherry-colored kimono, was kneeling in the center of the altar.
The little hands were tightly tied together with thick black and white ropes and held in front of the chest.
If you look carefully, you can easily recognize that it is the thick rope that ties the waist at the back of the miko's uniform.
There was a hint of sadness on her face, and she closed her eyes tightly. She didn't know if she didn't want to put too much psychological pressure on her sister, or if she was afraid of serving the Fox God.
"Lord God."
"Sakura-sama."
The villagers moved out of the way, and everyone was extremely respectful.
Yae Sakura followed her father, her whole body feeling cold.
It was exactly noon, and the ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun during the drought years would definitely make people feel ecstasy. But everyone was still wearing formal clothes, and even though they were soaked with sweat, they did not dare to complain.
In front of the altar.
Lord Yae's face was expressionless, and he patted Yae Sakura's back with his big hand.
"Go up, it's time to sacrifice Rin to the great Fox God."
The leaders of the big clans around them bowed their backs slightly. Yae Sakura had never seen them so docile before. When they were in the meeting hall this morning, they almost staged a full-scale martial arts show when they made a noise over the sacrifice.
Now he looks like a human being, showing the highest respect for the gods.
Yae Sakura didn't know how she climbed up the steps, and her little hand holding the scabbard trembled from time to time.
She lowered her head slightly, and her long cherry-colored bangs covered Sakura's expression.
He didn't dare to look at Rin who was kneeling at the center of the altar.
Yae Rin heard the sound, but even at the last moment, she did not open her eyes.
Instead, he raised his little head, exposing his fragile neck.
Yae Sakura's hands trembled even more.
She knew that Rin always complained about being useless, and even secretly wiped away tears in the dead of night.
Rin tried her best not to cause trouble for her and her brother.
Even as a sacrifice for a sacrifice, Rin was afraid that he would delay her and always thought about her.
The exposed neck is as white and slender as a swan's neck.
From this angle, you can even see the tiny cyan blood vessels on it.
The Rin in front of her was as fragile as a dreamy glass product.
Just a touch of your hand...
"Chi——"
The sound of the sharp blade being drawn out of the scabbard was no longer as clear and sharp as before, but instead sounded like an old antique covered in rust.
Rin still didn't open her eyes, the ends of her eyebrows were slightly tilted downwards, and her raised neck was even higher.
Now, with just one stroke of the knife, Rin will offer sacrifices to the gods. The fox god who calmed down his anger will grant the Yae Village rain.
Yae Sakura held the handle tightly with both hands and raised the blade high.
The villagers in the open space of the castle tower knelt down one after another and murmured unknown words, as if they were praying to the great gods.
'Brother...brother...what should I do? I...'
A flash of light flashed in Yae Sakura's eyes, as if she had made some determination, and she slashed hard with the knife!
Lin, who noticed the sound of breaking wind, finally showed a look of fear on her face. But even so, she still did not change her movements at all while kneeling at the center of the altar.
"bass--"
The hands that were bound by thick black and white ropes were released, and Yae Rin opened his eyes.
The broken thick rope fell to the ground in two halves, and the thing that restrained her completely disappeared.
"cold!"
Yae Sakura shouted: "Hurry up and hold my hand, let's escape! My brother is outside, as long as we can escape from the castle tower, everything will be no problem!"
There was a layer of tears in Yae Rin's healing blue eyes, and her mouth was slightly pursed.
Yae Sakura grabbed Rin's forearm and raised her legs to rush out of the altar.
"Plop~"
The sound of falling to the ground.
Yae Sakura was stunned, turned around, and happened to see Rin's bare feet from the corner of her eye.
The place was already red with blood, and the blood stained the clothes, but Rin had been kneeling before, so she couldn't see it from her angle.
"It's useless." The elusive Eightfold God Lord walked up to the altar, and his face could not be seen clearly.
"Rin's hamstring has been severed. Even if you take her to escape, she will never be able to stand up in her life."
"Yes, sister." Yae Rin, who fell to the ground, smiled and shed tears, "Rin actually knew it a long time ago."
"So... Rin is really happy to be able to help my sister before she dies. And my brother... Rin with his handbag is always the cutest."
"Sister...I believe you can surpass my brother and become the most outstanding miko."
"It's just...it's just that Rin broke his promise. He can't go to see the cherry blossoms with his brothers and sisters. He can't go..."
"Can't wait any longer."
Lord Yae stepped forward and restrained Sakura's left and right hands.
The powerful strength of an adult man is still beyond her ability to contend with.
Lifting it to the side, the blade suddenly swung downwards!
"cold!--"
Yae Ji happened to see this scene as he jumped onto the castle tower wall.
All the strength in his body exploded at this moment, and the bricks and tiles on the wall were kicked into pieces by this violent force.
"Bang!——"
Spider web-like cracks continued to spread to half of the wall.
At this moment, the eight-layered Ji who rushed out turned into an afterimage, shooting straight at the altar like a cannonball!
