Ikkaku was dead. He wasn't the only one who died. The rest of the people in the renowned Kitagawa Temple also proceeded to drop dead within the next half of the day. Eventually, Hitomi was the only person left in the huge, desolate temple. She knelt next to her father's body as tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks. The lady of Kitagawa temple, who had a huge family with 700 years of history, hadn't expected everyone to be wiped out by Nox within less than half a day. She could practically hear her heart shattering as she stared at all the bodies in the temple."Your father wished for me to protect you before he passed. Will you be willing to receive my blessings?" Nox asked the woman with a blank expression on his face.Hitomi looked up to meet his gaze. "I don't need your protection.""Whatever you say," Nox muttered before turning around to leave. Hitomi was nothing more than a stranger in his eyes. Back when he was in Faeast, he should've already ended her life. If it

Magnus was indeed jealous of Nox. He could tell that Elise had fallen completely head over heels since she met Nox, and he could tell that she had a crush on him. Magnus couldn't help but feel a buildup of jealousy within himself when he saw the difference in how Elise treated him and Nox. "Well, I'm heading off to Shinogawa Temple now." Elise wasn't in the mood to argue with the petty and sensitive man. She threw her backpack over her shoulder before she turned to head out of the cafe. Despite the hatred and rage that Magnus felt in his bones, he still ended up tagging along behind her. He had utterly resigned himself to the fact that he was just Elise's lapdog.Rumors claimed that Shinogawa Temple had mythical powers that could make one's wishes come true. This was one of the primary reasons it had such a huge number of believers and followers all across Eastsun. In the past, it was said that Susanoo would grant the wishes of those who paid visits to Shinogawa Temple. As time went

It was after the awakening of Susanoo, the great Oni-Kami who had lived for nearly a thousand years in Eastsun, that the temple was suddenly closed.Meanwhile, on the winding mountain pass were countless devotees of the Oni-Kami. They were all set to worship him at Shinogawa Temple. However, they suddenly halted in their tracks after hearing the strident and hellish cry from the distant temple.Magnus, too, was among the crowd. He had come to Eastsun to travel with Elise. Currently, he stood in the middle of the mountain pass leading to Gurenu Peaks. While gazing fearfully at the temple in the distance, he asked nervously, "Elise, you heard that scream just now, right? It's so spooky."Elise's face was pale. She had also heard the extremely harsh cry just now.Furthermore, that voice sounded more like it belonged to a monster rather than a human. It was so terrifying that Elise was still numb and had goosebumps all over her body after some time."Yeah," Elise replied."Elise, I k

Seeing Nox heading straight for the temple's main gate, Elise hurried to catch up."Mr. Greenshade, where are you going? The guards just said the temple is closed, and no one can enter."Nox smiled. "Don't worry. They'll let me in."Elise was about to say something when Magnus sneered. "Look at this guy showing off. Who does he think he is? The temple is closed, and he thinks he can just walk in?"Though Elise disliked Magnus' tone, she also felt that Nox was being overconfident. After all, Shinogawa Temple was a thousand-year-old sanctuary, and they had explicitly stated it was closed off. But now, Nox was insisting on entering?As the two prepared to watch Nox embarrass himself, they saw him already at the temple's gate. Due to the numerous pilgrims, they couldn't hear what Nox was saying to the guards.Elise only saw the guards suddenly looking as if they had seen a ghost after Nox spoke to them. They quickly went inside to report.In no time, hundreds of Yin Yang Masters, dr

Susanoo smiled. "As the Heavenly Dao has forbidden us from attaining immortality, we have no choice but to seek another path.""You are but a wandering spirit, and yet you dare dream of immortality?" Nox sneered."Why should I not? Time takes all. Even the most alluring blossoms wilt and turn into dust. Immortality is an aspiration many wish to attain. Is that not true for you as well?" Susanoo continued, "A thousand years ago, I saw what your land had to offer, and I must say, it is a far more fertile place than the place I call home."I have witnessed how your emperors spent mountains of coins and put their people to hard labor just to create an elixir of immortality. I have seen the people of Mystia and the godly people who live there. I have asked for a path to immortality."Alas, time is a cruel mistress. Any Legend Realm who wishes to go further will find it nigh impossible to step into the realm of the Earthly Deity, no matter how powerful they are." The oni sighed.Nox sai
