Deep inside the headquarter of the Omnyouji a.s.sociation, there was a secret room where it was used to do a forbidden ritual.
Usually, this place was quite deserted since no one would usually come to this place, but not today since there were some people who gathered around this place to see the ritual that was about to happen.
In the middle of the ritual circle, there was a single girl who was unconscious lying weakly and only a sound of breathing that could be heard from her.
If Yuuki was here then he would instantly turn everyone into a fish pellet for the fish in Tokyo Boy since the girl who was laying in the ritual circle was Hibiki.
The people who were gathered within this ritual place were the elder and the next generation of the Five Princ.i.p.al Clans which was known as five well known distinguished clans, which have purified evil spirits since ancient times.
The Five Princ.i.p.al Clans are powerful clans of s.h.i.+nto Mystics, which have carried a divine connection to the s.h.i.+nto G.o.ds and served them for generations. According to Wikipedia, since ancient times, members of the Five Princ.i.p.al Clans are born blessed by the s.h.i.+nto G.o.ds with the power to manipulate one of the five elements also known as the Five Phases respective to their clans due to their fervent faith and strict wors.h.i.+p in s.h.i.+ntoism.
In addition to the power of the Five Elements and Eastern Magic of s.h.i.+ntoism, the five clans have command over the Five Sacred Beasts with the strongest members of their respective clans inheriting them and their names.
The Five Princ.i.p.al Clans and the sacred beasts linked to the respective clans are Kus.h.i.+has.h.i.+, Doumon, s.h.i.+nra, Himejima, and Nakiri.
"Why do we have to do this?"
The one who asked this question was the heir of the Himejima Clan, Shuri Himejima which was also cousin of Akeno. She couldn't bear it when she thought that she needed to sacrifice the life of a young girl in this ritual.
"You know how dangerous is Qlippoth and we as humans need strength to protect ourselves. One life in exchange for protecting everyone, that is a very cheap price."
One of the elders within the Five Principles Clans said with a serious expression.
"But...." Shuri wanted to say something again, but someone interrupted her.
"Shuri, this is for the sake of humanity, we're on the weak side in this battle and we need to do this to protect our clan along with the people in this country."
The young man with gla.s.ses said as long as it was for his clan he would do anything even if it was to sacrifice the life of the girl.
Seiryuu Kurahas.h.i.+ or the heir of the Kurahasi Clan had an easy-going smile on his face.
Ouryuu Nakiri and Genbu Doumon who was the heir of Nakiri Clan and Doumon Clan respectively didn't say anything since they didn't feel that comfortable with this ritual.
"Tch! Just hurry up and do the ritual!" Byakko s.h.i.+nra, the heir of s.h.i.+nra Clan, said impatiently. He also didn't feel that uncomfortable sacrificing the life of a young girl in exchange for power.
Most of the heirs of the Five Princ.i.p.al Clans didn't feel comfortable with this ritual, but they knew that it was necessary and all of their elders had supported this matter since they were too weak in front of a group of Evil Dragons.
Humans have always been the weakest group in the supernatural world and in exchange for power, they serve powerful beings such as G.o.ds or Deity.
"I don't feel good about this," Shuri said. The only thing that made her will quite weak to stop this matter was because she didn't know about this girl.
The elders of the Five Principle Clans had investigated the matter where a lot of supernatural beings were suddenly being attracted to Tokyo and the cause of that phenomenon was Hibiki who was laying on the ritual circle.
It was impossible to gain more power from the Deity and the G.o.ds that they had served and that was why they had decided to gain more power from this ritual by sacrificing this girl who had powerful spiritual power.
Hibiki, who was laying on the circle, suddenly opened her eyes slowly. She felt that her entire body was quite hurt and couldn't help but groan in pain.
"Ugh....."
Hibiki who opened her eyes saw that she was being surrounded by a lot of strangers and it scared her.
"W - Where is this?"
"Calm down, little girl....." One of them looked at Hibiki and said, "It'll be over soon."
Hibiki became even more scared and tried to stand up, but tried to run away, however, she couldn't when she noticed an invisible wall that stopped her from running away from this place.
"No, let go of me!" Hibiki cried and didn't want to stay in this place.
"Start the ritual."
Then a group of people who were wearing a s.h.i.+nto Priest uniform surrounded the ritual circle then started to chant a mantra.
"Ri-ntan-shku-chirin-raku-rau-ron...."
The ritual circle started to brighten and showed a red color moving slowly toward the center then enveloping Hibiki's body.
"Ugh... AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
Hibiki screamed in pain and dropped to the ground.
"Dad..... Yuuki....."
Hibiki didn't know what had happened, but her entire body was very hurt and she was very afraid about what was about to happen. She didn't know what to do and only hoped for someone to help her. In her moment, she thought about the one who had helped her in dire moments.
"Yuuki....."
BOOOOOOOM!!!!
The entire building was shaking as if a big earthquake had just happened.
"What's wrong?!"
Everyone was surprised and startled.
The ritual stopped when the chant from their mouths stopped.
One person entered the room in a hurry.
"Elder, there is an enemy!"
"Enemy? How many?"
"Two humans!"
"........"
"Just handle it yourselves!"
"We can't! They're too powerful!"
"I'll go out," Byakko s.h.i.+nra said.
The four of the heirs looked at each other and decided to go out to stop this person who had attacked the headquarters of the Omnyoji a.s.sociation.
