Chapter 151: Irreverence

"You'll see, brat. In a few minutes, you will thank me. You will feel the true energy of the dark Emperor flood inside of you, and thanks to his power, you will become unstoppable!" Ogai exclaimed. A simultaneous gesture of both his hands followed those words.

As he had done a few seconds earlier with Shioko, the Void Summoner let the Blackblood, or black mud, slide over his legs to his arms. The slurry gathered on his hand and thickened into a single small sphere.

In all likelihood, the process called 'regeneration' that Ogai was talking about consisted of bringing a small amount of sludge into the host body. Once ingested, the black sphere would suddenly increase its size, easily entering the blood and nervous systems.

Through that process, the man with the hidden face had increased his powers. After his story, another name was added to the 'black list' of Yoichi and his companions: that of Lady Tamiko, Emperor Gonshiro's trusted counsellor.
