Chapter 8 - Prologue 8

After climbing for a few minutes a blue-colored wisp lantern can be seen in both side while the foggy miasma are slowly thinning up making the path more clearer, but the top is not yet can be seen by the eyes

The miasma thin while the place became colder

The more he climbs the more he felt suspicious about this place, it was because of how it exudes a sinister vibe to him

'damn this shit'

Cursing at her head while climbing down from the head of Julius she then hides inside the clothes of his, 'ah~~ it is so warm in here, heck is this guy doesn't feel the cold' noticing Julius lack response to the cold atmosphere

While she was thinking of the cause that brings him a lack of response to the cold

But he who she talks about is enjoying it

This cold, why do I feel so much affection to the cold is it because of that' he thought then he did not mind it after a while, he don't know why but he felt great affection to the cold element, it was always like this when he had contact with a cold element, he said this to his father he only heard him ' it is harmful to you than good"

Then he just forgets about it and only enjoys it if the place provide him with it

"hm~~" his moan can't help but to escape from his lips

'the hell, whose there, there is no one here only the beautiful me and this figurine..... wait figurine I think that sound is coming from the above' she looked up and imagine him moan ' damn! '

'I think I'll reach the top now' He thought while looking

up and as he climbed he estimate that the coldness in the area can freeze the object in the area

But strangely the place is still the same old stairs with a wisp lantern on both sides while the place is sinister. The sinister vibe here is not that thick but it was still enough to lower people courage

'Hu~' after stepping under the square slab of stone

A gale of icy wind pass to his whole body, and he was taking a liken to it

While he is enjoying it the little lizard is also enjoying herself in the kotatsu version humanoid ' what the hell is wrong with this figurine, why does his body not freezing but is more like enjoying it.... oh well I don't care ' she thought sheepishly while enjoying it inside

In the front of him is a shrine, a pretty worn out shrine but even though it is pretty old there is no missing part while in the middle of the way there is a throne with a skeleton wearing a black yukata with souls like embroidery on it,

The position of the skeleton is his/her head is resting on his hand while his legs are cross with the other one, yet his clothes aren't worn out as it is strange because of the old place, and the looks of it no one hasn't come here

'why does father know this place' unknown to him his father also didn't know this place as he points the direction to a relatively close in the inner region where the place is barren but he didn't say to go to the central region

ding~ ding~

chime sing's can be heard while a wisp is appearing one by one, more and more can be seen appearing and is making the whole place a little brighter, the color of blue wisp is making the place more ancient and mysterious

the appearing of the wisp came to stop after it is good enough to illuminate the whole place

crr~~

A sound of grinding can be heard, the grinding is heard for a second then the whole place retain its tranquility

"thou whom thy presence" a voice can be heard as a two white flare materialize in the two sockets of the skeleton, he had a shrilly voice and considered to be a pain in the ear when you listen to him

Julius calmly raise his blade toward the skeleton while he chants a spell, syllables and ancient words materialize in the space as it surrounds the black blade

"withdrew the blade as I'm no harm," said with a gentle shrill that it makes more comfortable to cut the throat to the one who spoke

"hmm?" mutter by Julius as he didn't believe someone to easily and it is more when the sound of it is so....so..so sigh just leave it

bite~

hmm~" moan by Julius when a little lizard bites his neck, he then looks at it and sees it shook her head making him felt puzzled then he focus his eyes again to the ancient skeleton

"ye must believe this as thou is weak" the skeleton then raise its hands as a cage-like shadow materialize below

Making Julius narrowed his eyes but then relax as he had really was no match to this kind of being

He was thinking why a being himself is here, he should be in the higher realm than here but he will ask that later

Then it melts just like the ice as the shadow meltdown under him then, he crouches with his left knee while his right hand go through to the shadow and just like he is finding something

After a moment of exploring he withdrew his hand while there is now a scabbard with a black scale all over its body in his hand

Shiing~~

He unsheathed his katana

His katana originally can be carried around but as this is a legendary blade it can not be seen by the anyone or else he will have himself steer some annoying people considering he doesn't have a background in here

"as expected to the successor of that, ye have good mental" sounded by the skeleton while looking at the katana in the scabbard

'now that you said it that blade is familiar..... hmm well who cares' thought by a bitchy lizard

"I apologize to my rude performance, ancient being" Julius while fixing the scabbard to his left side waist

"ye don't have to worry as this servant is humble" replied by the Onmyoji skeleton then he said" as thee reach here thee can do my trial as I have no successor and ye also have the greatest aptitude for my powers
