Chapter 114: Monsters"Boom..."
In that instant, the entire underground palace was swept by a gale, causing everyone around to instinctively shield their eyes, followed by the rampant spreading of evil chakra, and countless blood-red lights began to shine from below the sealing formation.
"This... what terrifying chakra!"
The Sand Village ninjas who were preparing the barrier were all startled by this evil chakra, cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.
Kami and Jippo, as Miko's guards, were even more terrified, watching Miko-sama in the very center with incomparable worry.
As for Miko, the priestess with the destiny to seal away Mōryō, she was now finally facing the nightmare in her dreams head-on, and she was even more nervous and fearful.
Fortunately, at this moment, a comforting voice rang in her ears.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Although Rasa didn't turn his head, Miko merely looked at the broad, thick figure that was like a mountain, standing in front of her, and her rapidly beating heart gradually calmed down, and she nodded heavily.
Just then, the gale finally dissipated, and the entire underground palace returned to calm.
The air was so quiet that even breathing could be heard, and everyone turned their gazes towards the stone gate at the center of the seal.
As the seal was broken and the stone gate shattered, a door filled with deep purple chakra appeared before everyone.
It was clearly just a simple door, but the space inside seemed extremely vast.
Looks like it's another alternate dimension!
But where is Mōryō?
Just as everyone was curious.
In the silent underground palace, a hoarse voice echoed from the alternate dimension.
"Hmm... how nostalgic, the taste of the mortal world, who has awakened me..."
This voice made the hearts of those present feel a chill, and the air temperature around them seemed to drop a lot.
Miko's body trembled even more, and she said with a somewhat flustered voice.
"Is that Mōryō's voice?"
"It should be."
Rasa turned his head and gave her a reassuring look, then took two steps forward and stood out, saying.
"It's me, are you Mōryō?"
It was still that deep voice.
"Hmm... who are you, this is... a priestess... how strange, actually taking the initiative to undo the seal... Heh heh heh... Hmm!? There's even the taste of that guy Hiruko... How lively, what exactly has happened in the mortal world... Hmm... No, that taste is..."
Along with a somewhat surprised voice, the energy on the deep purple alternate dimension began to fluctuate, and eight deep purple energies slowly wriggled out from it, transforming into eight huge dragon heads, appearing before everyone, their eyes flashing with scarlet light, staring intently at Rasa, uttering a surprised voice.
"Impossible... to still be able to see an existence like you in this era..."
At this moment, Miko, who originally thought she would need to face Mōryō alone after it came out, looked at Mōryō, which completely ignored her and instead focused its gaze entirely on Rasa, and while feeling strange, she also inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
She really didn't have much confidence in facing such a monster alone.
On the contrary, this Kazekage from the Sand Village was so calm and composed in the face of such a terrifying monster.
So amazing!
As for Rasa, hearing the words spoken by the eight-headed monster that Mōryō had transformed into, he was truly intrigued.
"An existence like me, what do you mean?"
The scarlet light in the eyes of Mōryō's eight heads flashed, and he said in a low and angry voice.
"Heh heh heh... Ever since that monstrous woman descended upon this world a thousand years ago, bringing the power of the Ten-Tails to this land, all the power in this world has been polluted by that woman's consciousness, but in your body, I can't feel it at all..."
"That woman!?"
Rasa asked thoughtfully and curiously.
"Are you talking about Ōtsutsuki Kaguya!!!"
At this moment, the entire underground palace was once again surging with wind and clouds, and Honoka and Miko, who were close at hand, could clearly feel the huge change in the monster named Mōryō when Rasa said this name, it was fear, and also anger.
"How do you know that name!?"
Mōryō's eight heads' gazes became very dangerous, staring deeply at Rasa.
Honoka was also obviously very curious.
Who exactly was this Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, that she could make a demon like Mōryō feel fear?
Rasa didn't answer, but simply said.
"Looks like I guessed right, you should have been born before Ōtsutsuki Kaguya descended upon this world, right?"
"..."
Mōryō suddenly fell silent, the gazes of the eight heads looking at Rasa, then looking at Honoka on the side, and then looking at Miko on the side, saying thoughtfully.
"Hmm... you undid my seal, it shouldn't be for my power, right!"
Rasa shook his head.
"No, I came here for your power, and also to help Miko-sama eliminate you."
Seeing this, Miko also stood out and said with courage.
"That's right, Mōryō, the destiny of generations of priestesses should end this time, this time, I will completely eliminate you."
"Eliminate me! Seize my power?"
Hearing Rasa's words and looking at Miko's innocent face, Mōryō didn't get angry but laughed.
"Hahahaha, how laughable!"
This made Miko feel somewhat looked down upon.
"What are you laughing at, I have been practicing sealing techniques day and night in order to seal you."
"Hahahaha!"
Mōryō laughed even more happily.
"Looks like you don't know anything, do you? The priestess of this generation?"
This made everyone stunned, and Rasa also frowned and said.
"What do you mean?"
"Hahahaha."
This made Mōryō's laughter even more eerie, echoing throughout the entire underground palace.
"Naive priestess, what a pity, from the moment you presumptuously undid my sealing technique, your destiny has already been decided."
"???"
Miko suddenly felt a sense of unease, could it be that what Mōryō said was true, did she really have something she didn't know, she could only look confusedly at Rasa, the only one she could turn to for help.
Rasa stretched out his hand.
"Don't worry, with me here, I won't let you get hurt!"
However, he also felt some curiosity in his heart, after all, he had almost forgotten the plot about Mōryō himself, and the information that the Covert Ops Unit could investigate was also limited, could it be that there really was something he had overlooked.
Just as Rasa said this, Mōryō laughed even more happily.
Miko visibly became more nervous and uneasy.
"Looks like, the priestess of this generation, your mother not only didn't tell you the secret of the sealing technique, but also didn't tell you, don't easily trust men, ha ha ha ha..."
Seeing this, Rasa also asked with some curiosity.
"Whether I am trustworthy is another matter, but I am very interested in the secret of the sealing technique that you mentioned."
Seeing Rasa, whose expression hadn't changed much, Mōryō also became interested and said with laughter.
"Hmm... a secret, it doesn't matter if I tell you."
Saying that, the eight heads looked at Miko.
"That is, ha ha ha ha... Priestess, the so-called sealing technique passed down by the priestesses, its essence is just you and me becoming one..."
