Chapitre 25: Chapter 25 : Eat Ghoul
Arata said coldly as he stared at Reiji, who used a Far Step to escape from his place the moment he felt the intent to kill Arata. "Did you say your name is Kagami Reiji, brat?"
"Bart..." Reiji muttered, not believing that a kid like Arata would call him brat, let alone a killing intent that was something a child of Arata's age shouldn't have.
"If you dare to insult someone of mine, make sure you don't live to see the next day," said Arata coldly as he stared at Reiji. "Take this as a reminder to you not to do it again."
" Arrrgh " - As soon as Arata finished speaking, Reiji screamed like a miserable beast because his right hand had been cut cleanly and blood was spurting from it like water from a broken faucet.
"There won't be another time," Arata said coldly and looked at Shiro as he was back to normal, his cold killing intent disappeared and he commanded, "Get rid of Nue."
"Right away," Shiro said, shooting a blue flame that turned Nue to ashes in an instant.
"Let's bring back Shiro, Takiko," said Arata, carrying Kyouko and walking out.
"Wait, I can walk on my own," Kyouko said as she struggled to get out from being carried by Arata.
Kyouko was embarrassed that others saw this intimate situation with Arata.
"Don't resist, you must be exhausted from enduring Nue's roar earlier," said Arata, knowing that she couldn't even walk without help.
"Wait!!" Kagami yelled weakly and hoarsely due to his arm being cut off and losing a lot of blood.
Unfortunately, his words fell on deaf ears, and Arata did not stop.
"He's talking to you," Takiko said to Arata, who was walking normally as if he hadn't heard Kagami.
"I know, but I'm not the one who stops when others tell him this," said Arata without even looking at Kagami's whereabouts.
"It's right, you're that kind of person," said Takiko, remembering how he was going to turn her to ashes in their first meeting even though she asked him to stop.
Honestly, Arata didn't know why a person would stop when his enemy told him to stop.
It's strange, isn't it?
And what puzzles Arata is that if you don't want anything from him, you don't need to stop, and all you have to do is complete what you started, such as killing him or hitting him in blue and black...etc.
Arata left with Kyouko and Takiko as the sentient teachers and students stared at him in awe because his display of strength just before had left a deep impression on them.
The presence of the Twelve Divine Generals was extremely high in the minds of Onmyouji and the general public, and there were even many people who believed that the Twelve Divine Generals were invincible.
Because of this belief, they couldn't believe what they had just seen as one of the Twelve Divine Generals had their hands cut off without being able to resist.
12:00 a.m.
"Then, why did you want to see me so late?" Touji asked curiously, looking at the person in front of him.
"I wanted to ask you something and help you get rid of the ghoul ego," said the person and walked towards Touji.
The moonlight shone on the person, revealing a handsome face with sharp features, messy black hair, bright purple eyes, and a well-toned body, as evident from the uniform.
Indeed, this was none other than Kasuga Arata, who cut off Kagami Reiji's hand a few hours ago.
"Seriously?" Touji asked in obvious bewilderment, not expecting Arata to have enough power to destroy a ghoul ego so quickly.
"It's the truth," Arata said, a smug smile creeping across his face, and he spoke. "I am now invincible at night."
"From now on, call me the King of the Night," Arata added with the same smug smile, but he soon realized something—that this title has a double meaning.
'It doesn't really matter,' thought Arata, not minding what other people might mean.
"It's a fitting title for you with all the beauties by your side," Touji said, smiling slyly at Arata.
"When you're as handsome as I am, you'll be popular among girls even if you don't want to," said Arata, his smug smile even wider. "But you can't be as much as I can."
One of the main reasons he chose Kasuga Arata in the survey was his handsomeness, which is why he never missed an opportunity to show her off.
"I'd like to punch your 'handsome' face to clear that smug smile," Touji said as he clenched his fist tightly, he could hardly resist his urge to smash that smug smile.
"It's impossible," said Arata, shaking his head because it's impossible for Touji to hit him normally, let alone at night when he's 500% stronger.
"Then what do you want to ask?" said Touji, letting out a sigh, because Arata was stupidly strong and almost impossible to hit if Arata didn't want him to.
"Did something strange happen with Harutora after the final test?" Arata asked, not knowing what happened after he left the final test site.
"Nothing in particular happened," replied Touji after pondering Arata's question for a while. "Is there anything wrong with Harutora?"
"Nothing, I was just worried something would happen to him after enduring Nue's roar for so long," Arata lied without hesitation because he didn't want anyone to know that Harutora is Yakou's reincarnation, at least for the time being. "You know Harutora is still a novice in Onmyouji matters."
"That's right," Touji nodded, and in his thoughts, Harutora was the most normal person of their group.
Arata and Natsume were recognized geniuses since they were children, but he had a fourth phase ghoul inside him.
As for Harutora, he was a normal person who obtained Spiritual Sight half a year ago.
He even gained Spiritual Sight thanks to Arata's own spell, so there was nothing strange about Arata being worried about Harutora because he was the one who brought him into the Onmyouji world.
"Well, now it's time to act," said Arata, stretching his body a little, "so sit down and close your eyes, and I will destroy the ghoul ego for you."
"Sure," Touji nodded and did as Arata told him without hesitation.
Seeing Touji do what he told him without hesitation, Arata nodded in satisfaction and walked behind Touji, put his hands on his head, and closed his eyes.
Inside the Touji seal.
Arata opened his eyes in a dark place that had neither heaven nor earth, and the place was filled with extremely corrupt spiritual power.
The density of Corrupt Spiritual Strength was extremely high, and an ordinary person couldn't even see their hands.
But what made the place even more terrifying were red eyes filled with a desire to kill and destroy staring at the person who put his feet in this place, sending chills down the spine.
"Hello," Arata said in this scary and terrifying place, seeming relaxed as if he was welcoming the owner of the terrifying eyes.
"It's you again," a hoarse voice full of hatred and malice came out as the ghoul addressed Arata.
Although the ghoul had met Arata two years ago when he sealed him inside his Touji, he couldn't understand him at all.
Arata could have destroyed his ego a long time ago, but he didn't and sealed it inside the human being called Ato Touji.
"That's right, it's me who sealed you with a single move two years ago," Arata said with a bright smile that made one feel like spring had come upon seeing that smile.
"Grrrrrr," the ghoul growled angrily as he could easily see the sarcasm in Arata's words.
"Are you angry?" Arata asked with a puzzled face, as if he couldn't figure out why the ghoul was so angry.
" ... " - The ghoul didn't say anything, just stared at Arata, but the hatred in his eyes clearly increased by Arata's constant sneer.
"You must be wondering why I did such an unpleasant thing as sealing you two years ago when I can easily kill you, right?" asked Arata, usually with a bright and pretty smile on his face.
" ... " - Although Ghoul didn't say anything, bewilderment was evident on his face.
"Okay, well, since I'm generous, I'll tell you," Arata said with the expression on his face saying, "You should thank me for my kindness." - "It's easy to kill you, but..."
"There's no point in just killing you," said Arata, his smile getting wider and wider, "and that's why I decided to devour you to strengthen my soul."
Although Arata was smiling brightly, the ghoul couldn't help but feel horrified at the sight of this smile.
This smile was extremely terrifying and was that of a predator smiling at its prey after catching it.
Though he had lived for hundreds of years, he never expected the day to come when he would feel afraid of the humans he only saw as his food.
"But alas, I wasn't strong enough before," said Arata, acting dramatic, "but now I can easily devour you."
There were so many spells for devouring spiritual disasters and gaining their power that even Kagami Reiji had one that specialized in devouring ghouls, and that was why it was called Ogre Eater.
But Arata's method was different from others and much more efficient than them.
Methods for devouring a Spiritual Calamity were few and limited, and the best-known method allowed one to obtain only 10% of the power of a Spiritual Calamity.
But Arata's method was different and allowed him to obtain 100% of the power of the Spiritual Calamity that he devoured, although he needed some time to digest the Spiritual Calamity and obtain its full strength.
The way to do this was straightforward, and all he had to do was use the Spirit Language slightly differently than usual.
Arata discovered this method quite by accident while trying to discover more practical ways to use the Spirit Language.
However, this method required enormous spiritual strength to use, especially on spiritual calamities with extremely high spiritual resistance.
Clapping, Arata brought his hands together, his smile disappeared a long time ago, and the earlier sneer was replaced by a serious expression.
Arata started muttering incomprehensible things very quickly.
"Rooooar!!" The ghoul roared in pain and fear as he felt his ego disappear, and not only that, but he felt his soul being devoured by this human in front of him.
Feeling his soul being devoured, the ghoul didn't need to think and used all his strength to resist, but unfortunately, there was no result, and he felt that his ego's destruction was getting faster.
Due to the high speed of destroying his ghoul ego, the ghoul's resistance soon stopped because he could not think while destroying his ego.
If someone saw the current Arata, they would not believe that he was human because the spiritual power that was coming out of his body was not something that humans possessed.
Even Takiko would be surprised because the spiritual power that Arata unleashed was equal to her own after channeling the God's strength through her.
It is worth noting that Takiko's spiritual strength experienced a significant surge after channeling the power of the Gods through her.
