"Miko-chan... who are you talking to?"
Hana looked at Miko, who was speaking indignantly to the empty space in front of her, her face full of confusion and worry.
Because she didn't have Mystic Eyes, she couldn't see the huge fox mountain god at all, only feeling that the atmosphere around them had suddenly become very oppressive.
She instinctively tugged at Phaethon's sleeve beside her, asking quietly.
"Mr. Phaethon, Miko-chan... is she seeing something bad again? What is she muttering about?"
Phaethon looked at Hana's worried yet curious appearance, his face showing a gentle smile.
"Would you like to see for yourself?"
"Eh? Can I see it too?"
Hana was stunned for a moment, then her eyes flashed with curiosity and nervousness.
Phaethon didn't answer, just casually raised his finger and gently touched Hana's forehead.
A barely perceptible golden light sank into it.
"Hum——!"
Hana only felt her vision suddenly blur, as if an invisible veil had been instantly lifted!
The next second, when she looked forward again, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her entire body froze in place as if under a binding spell!
She saw that in front of the originally empty shrine's main hall, there was actually a huge white three-tailed fox demon, large as a small mountain!
That terrifying size, ferocious aura, and cold golden vertical pupils.
All made her hair stand on end instantly, her heart nearly stopping!
"Ahh——!!!"
Hana let out a short scream, instinctively stepping back two steps.
Hiding behind Phaethon, her voice trembling as she said:
"What, what is that? So, so scary! Does Miko-chan see such terrifying things every day?"
After the brief terror, Hana suddenly looked up.
Looking at Phaethon with disbelief, her tone filled with shock:
"Mr. Phaethon... you, you can let me see this kind of thing.
Could it be... you really are... a deity?"
Faced with Hana's questioning, Phaethon just smiled mysteriously.
His gaze turned forward, because the battle between Miko and the fox mountain god had officially begun!
"Since thou art so stubborn, do not blame me for being impolite!"
The fox mountain god was thoroughly enraged by Miko's attitude, and it suddenly raised one of its front paws like a giant pillar.
With the whistling sound of tearing air, it struck down viciously at the tiny Miko!
If this claw hit, even the hard stone ground would probably be smashed into a deep pit!
However, facing this thunderous strike, Miko showed no trace of fear.
She took a deep breath, and the necromantic power within her began circulating at unprecedented speed!
Necromancer skill——[Death Claw]!
Accompanied by a delicate shout, Miko suddenly swung out her right hand!
Instantly, three huge energy claws emitting a ghostly purple light appeared out of thin air.
Like death marks tearing through space, they boldly met the descending fox's giant claw!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The three purple light claws precisely tore through the air, viciously striking the seemingly indestructible front paw of the fox mountain god!
"Aoooo——!!!"
The fox mountain god let out an extremely painful howl, and three deep claw marks that reached the bone instantly appeared on its massive front paw.
Purple-black necromantic energy clung to the wounds like parasitic worms, bringing unbearable agony!
It jerked back its claw, staring at Miko with eyes filled with fear and shock!
"This... what kind of power is this? Why is it so cold, so evil?"
It could clearly feel the aura of death and decay contained in that power, which was completely different from its own demonic power, even faintly restraining it!
Feeling the power of the necromancer abilities, Miko's confidence grew even stronger.
She offered no explanation to the fox mountain god, but raised her hand again, the magic power within her surging at unprecedented speed!
Necromancer skill——[Advent: Nicholas]!
Hum——!
A huge purple magic circle appeared on the ground out of nowhere, with countless twisted runes flowing within it.
The next second, accompanied by the sound of bones grinding.
An undead figure dressed in magnificent formal wear slowly emerged from the magic circle!
That was the undead of the spider prince Nicholas from the world of Arad!
Now, it had become a loyal servant under Miko's command!
"Summoning... undead?"
Seeing that Miko could actually command such a powerful soul, the fox mountain god was completely stunned!
It had lived for hundreds of years and had never seen such a bizarre and powerful ability!
An unprecedented sense of fear instantly gripped its heart!
It instinctively wanted to retreat, to escape from this girl who emanated the aura of death!
But Miko had already given Nicholas an order!
Necromancer skill——[Shadow Spider Web Formation]!
"Hiss——!"
Nicholas let out a sharp hiss, transforming into shadow spider silk!
These silk threads, as if alive, instantly covered the fox mountain god's massive body.
Binding it firmly in place, unable to move!
"It's not over yet!"
Miko's gaze was cold as she formed hand seals again!
Necromancer skill——[Night Parade of One Hundred Demons]!
She suddenly threw a black soul orb condensed with rich necromantic energy to the ground in front!
The moment the soul orb hit the ground, it exploded, transforming into a continuously spinning black vortex!
Then, from that black vortex.
Like a tide, hundreds and thousands of evil ghost spirits of various forms and ferocious appearances poured out!
They let out shrill screams, like fierce beasts that had been hungry for a thousand years, madly rushing toward the fox mountain god bound by spider silk!
"No——!!!"
The fox mountain god let out a desperate wail!
It struggled desperately, trying to break free from the shadow spider silk bonds, trying to resist the tide-like surge of hundred ghost spirits!
However, everything was futile!
Under the endless biting, devouring, and erosion of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
The fox mountain god's massive body began to dissolve and collapse at a visible rate!
Its proud demonic power, tough fur, and strong vitality.
All seemed so vulnerable before this pure torrent of death!
Finally, with a wail filled with unwillingness and pain.
The three-tailed fox mountain god was completely devoured by the endless hundred ghost spirits, not leaving even a trace of existence, completely dissipating into the air!
"..."
Only the huge spider undead Nicholas remained in front of the main hall, along with Miko standing before it, surrounded by a faint necromantic aura.
"Wow——! Miko-chan! You, you're amazing!!!"
Hana snapped out of her shock, seeing this mythical scene before her, she excitedly rushed forward to hug Miko, jumping up and down with excitement.
"That undead, and those ghosts, did you summon them all?
Just like a magician in anime! So cool!"
However, just as Hana's cheers hadn't completely died down——
Rumble rumble——!!!
A sudden violent tremor came from beneath their feet!
The entire Sanko Valley Shrine, and even the mountain they were on, began to shake violently out of control!
As if some even more terrifying existence was about to awaken from the depths underground!
