"Don't worry, I'm here," Ren softly assured her.
When the monster fully emerged, it looked like a calf freshly broken from the amniotic sac. But when it stood up, its twisted, terrifying, sharp claws and five limbs clawed into the surrounding walls, using them to support its materialized body formed of black substance. The monster could now truly affect reality. It didn't need to influence others' negative emotions, nor did it need others to see it. It was a monster that existed in solid form.
However, when the monster lifted its face, Ren was surprised once again. Although that face was covered in disgusting wriggling flesh, traces of a human face could still be discerned.
"Aki Tomoya?" Ren blurted out.
"What?" Sayuri and Eriri looked up in astonishment. It was indeed Aki Tomoya! They would never forget him.
Sayuri covered her mouth, her expression terrified. "That scumbag who pushed Eriri into the abyss!"
Tears welled up in her eyes, and Eriri broke down crying. "Why?! Why won't you let me go even after you're dead? You demon!"
"Hehehehe!" Aki Tomoya's eyeballs rotated 360 degrees, seemingly adapting to his new body, before he roared in a hoarse, disgusting voice. "Traitors and bastards! A pair of adulterers! I'm dead! Hahahaha!" He shrieked with a twisted expression. "Because of you two, I died! It's all because of you two!!"
Then he quickly became calm and gloomy. "Hahaha, but I've gained new life, gained power." As if to show off his power, he swung a claw, and the nearby refrigerator was instantly sent flying with immense force. It crashed heavily against the wall with a clang. The refrigerator shattered into pieces and was completely ruined on the spot.
The mother and daughter were startled.
"See! This is the power I brought back from hell! The power to take revenge on you two bitches!" Aki Tomoya's demeanor was as crazed as a demon's. He wanted to see fear and despair on Ren's face. But the result left him disappointed and perplexed.
Ren was calm and unconcerned. Moreover, he sighed and shook his head, looking utterly disappointed.
Aki Tomoya narrowed his eyes, his gaze constricted. "What do you mean by this? Are you stunned by my power?"
"Power? Heh. You don't even know what power is." Ren couldn't help but scoff. "This is called power? It's just a bit of brute strength. Watch closely, this is what power is."
Snap! He snapped his right fingers, producing a crisp sound. Five Thunder Rectification!
Aki Tomoya didn't see anything. He was about to sneer. Then he felt something from the ground clinging to his body.
"What the hell is this?!" The monster's body twisted, trying to break free from the black, viscous substance that enveloped it. It even used its mouth to bite. All to no avail.
In just a moment, Aki Tomoya was completely unable to move. His entire body was covered by Five Thunder Rectification. Ren thoughtfully left his head uncovered. He could perfectly enjoy his bewildered expression.
"Thank you for crawling back from hell. You're done now, go back." As soon as his words fell, Buzz! The air hummed. Crackle! Black lightning raged throughout the room. It only bypassed the area where Ren was.
"Ah ah ah ah!" The lightning storm furiously blasted Aki Tomoya's body. Pain, like an invisible sharp blade, sliced away his flesh, cut by cut. His wails echoed in the room, like a beast at the mercy of others, unable to escape.
!!!
This scene caused a tumultuous storm in Eriri and Sayuri's hearts. Why did Ren possess such power? Was he an Onmyoji?
After feeling the safety that Ren brought, fear gradually receded, and curiosity began to stir. The black lightning only lasted for less than 5 seconds. Aki Tomoya had already gone silent. With a wave of his hand, Five Thunder Rectification dissipated. Aki Tomoya's body had turned into energy ash and disappeared with the Five Thunder Rectification system.
"Is it over?" Her red lips mumbled. Eriri finally couldn't support herself and collapsed onto the ground. The shock of fear receded. Her body also became weak.
Sayuri also relaxed her stiff and tense body. It was indeed Sayuri; even after experiencing such an event, she could quickly recover and calm down. She walked to her husband with a frown. She tested his breath with her hand.
"Dad..." Eriri asked cautiously.
Sayuri didn't speak, just shook her head silently. He's dead.
Eriri looked dazed. She didn't know what kind of feelings she should have for her father. Perhaps her mother didn't care anymore. But deep down, she still longed for something. There was absolutely no chance now. So Eriri was very confused.
Sayuri didn't have many thoughts. There was no longer any affection between them. But when someone dies, things get blown out of proportion. Not to mention the accidental death of a foreign minister. In Eriri's opinion, the matter was over. Sayuri, however, had a headache about the subsequent developments. Such matters could only be handled by reporting to the police.
