Mythical Slayer: Mythical Girls Contract

Inside the chief's mansion, the situation wasn't as great either. Kirimaru immediately went to the roof by jumping to look at the situation while Chigusa stayed in the room. Following the chief was the tanned Oni.

"This is not good," Kirimaru mentioned as he looked at the Tear in the distance. Several blue and red Onis were on the ground looking at him, and he turned at them and swung his right hand, issuing an order.

"Evacuate the guests and the civilians! Every able body is to protect them, and I will go to stop the Tear personally!" Then he turned to his son, who was watching him excitedly. "Ranga, you come with me."

"Alright, pops!"

Kirimaru jumped down from the roof and was about to leave with Ranga, but Sayo suddenly approached and stopped him with her hand.

"I will go too."

"No." Kirimaru replied as he stopped in his tracks. "You're not part of this village anymore."

"But…" Sayo lowered her hand, clearly crestfallen.

"Stay here. Isn't it your duty to protect the Prophet?" The Oni Chief turned around and left once he said that.

Ranga looked at Sayo and patted her shoulder.

"What pops said is true. He's not mad at you anymore for leaving the village to stay with Chigusa-sama, Sayo." He said, making Sayo raise her head to look at him. "So stay here to protect her, okay? I was a bit sad you left me, but it is your decision so do your best to keep harm away from the Prophet."

"Ranga-sama…"

"Then I will leave," Ranga said and quickly chased after his father, who had already been away from the mansion.

Left alone, Sayo nodded slightly and returned to the room where Chigusa was. She opened the door and called out to the person she needed to protect from harm.

"Chigusa-sama! We will be saf–" She was about to reassure the girl, but something strange happened. Chigusa's eyes were unfocused, and there was golden glitter flying around her eyes.

The Prophet's shadow immediately realized that Chigusa was in a state to receive a prophecy. The Miko wouldn't be able to know anything, so it was her duty to hear it. She knelt beside the Miko and waited for her to open her mouth. It wasn't for long.

"An eye of the void appeared. Chaos will ensue."

The first sentence was calm and serene. Sayo deciphered it immediately and related it to the Supernatural disaster, Tear, which appeared in Oni village. Chaos had already broken out, but Slayers' fast response quickly calmed it down.

"RULER will save, the subordinate will fall. Obsidian black, burning heart."

That wasn't good at all. The prophecy about a fall and a description of something destructive would definitely not be good news. Only one piece of that sentence was good. The RULER was here, and he would save.

But it wasn't clear what he would save. Was it himself or the others? It could also be the village.

The prophecy wasn't over yet. Chigusa's mouth moved once again.

"The advent is near. Boogeymen will crawl out of their graves."

Boogeyman. A mythical creature used by adults to frighten their children. They had no specific appearance, and their concept varied. One common thing was they were described as androgynous monsters that punished children for their misbehavior.

The term was used as a personification or metonym for terror. In the book, they were described as the Devil. But Devils were a race in the Supernatural World; they weren't Boogeymen. The correct term for them is.

"An advent of the Demon!" Sayo muttered in a horrified voice.

The mythical creature was born normally. They were born just like other Races. But what made them different? How did they gain their power? The answer was through legends and stories. They evolved and gained power.

"Don't be afraid."

Unexpectedly, the prophecy continued. This time, Chigusa was looking at her, something that had never happened before. Golden glitters were still flying around her eyes, indicating she was still in a state to receive the prophecy.

She shouldn't be able to move! Sayo was surprised. But she strained her ears. Her duty wasn't over yet; she still needed to hear the rest of the prophecy.

"With the subordinate's power, the RULER will find his commitment."

That relieved Sayo a little. Spreading ominous prophecies wasn't something pleasant to do.

"As he will understand his assignment."

At that moment she uttered the last prophecy, Chigusa's body fell like a doll. Sayo immediately caught her and laid her down on the floor slowly. She then turned around and left the room, shouting.

"Anyone! There is something urgent!"

One of the young blue Oni who ran around the mansion stopped near Sayo and asked.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Yeah!" Sayo nodded. "Chigusa-sama just had another prophecy."

With that, the others stopped too, listening to Sayo.

"Please send people to the central plaza where the Slayers are and some Onis to protect Chigusa-sama. I will tell Kirimaru about this personally, as I need to go fast." She then proceeded to tell the blue Oni about the prophecy with a serious expression.

"At once!" The blue Oni nodded and began to work after listening to Sayo's words.

Sayo also moved, jumped over the fence, and ran toward the Tear.

"I hope I can relay this message fast."

Kai, who watched Shuten Douji crush Malices one by one, felt something approaching him. He turned toward the sky and noticed Amber flying toward him with fiery wings.

"Kai!" She shouted excitedly and stopped in front of him, hovering in the sky while flapping her wings.

"Amber. You said you were with your friend? Where is she?" Kai asked curiously.

"Ah, she's not my friend, but an acquaintance." She fixed him, then pointed her hand at where some rocks and Malices were flying to the sky. "She's there, by the way."

"I…I see…"

He couldn't say anything more. That strength… Amber's acquaintance must be an Oni or someone from a race with similar physical strength. Because the destruction she caused was almost on par with Shuten Douji.

"Fufufu, I see you are with someone with an insane power too." Amber chuckled at Kai's expression and turned her attention to Shuten Douji. The Oni god practically danced with her club and enjoyed the fight like a child.

Malices had no feelings or fear, but they understood someone with a lot of Spirit Power. That was why they grouped around Shuten Douji, as she had the biggest Spirit Power reserve among the three people in the area.

​ "Shuten Douji, huh?" She muttered.

"It was just a coincidence as I watched her concert earlier. By the way, should we take care of the Tear directly in the sky?" Kai asked, smirking. "I think we can leave the ones on the ground to them."

Even now, Malices were still dropping from the Tear nonstop. The number of shadows kept increasing as time passed, but their sizes were visibly smaller than the first batch, with only 2 meters in height. It wouldn't take long before they stopped, and the Tear disappeared completely.

"You're right. More people also approached, so we could thin them out directly before they could fall to the ground. That's a good idea, Kai!"

"Not so much. So, we do it?"

"Un, let's do it." Amber approached Kai and leaned forward. She knew her assignment well.

Kai was also not shy. He kissed Amber, and she fused with him. It only took less than a second, and he controlled the Phoenix fire to give him feathered fire wings. They appeared on his back and magically didn't burn his clothes as he wished for it.

"Oh?!"

A happy, curious voice rang from the ground. It was from Shuten Douji. "As expected! Young man, we will surely have a talk later!"

"Sure. I will leave the Malices on the ground to you, Shuten Douji!" Kai replied to the Oni god and took off to the sky.

The Tear was located 50 meters from the ground. With his speed, it should be easy to close the distance in 2 seconds. But due to him not having experienced having wings yet, he needed more than 5 seconds to adjust them before he was finally able to control his flight freely.

Once he had done that, the rest was easy. He hovered in front of the Tear with Phoenix fire dancing around him. With a smirk, he muttered to talk to the Phoenix girl inside him.

"Let's burn them all."

[Oooh!]
