When Nurarihyon became visible to Jizo, who was yelling frantically, disbelieving, seeing his lord—whom he considered someone like a god who would never be defeated—now fell to the ground from the sky without any resistance or strength to continue the fight.
Just when Jizo was planning to overturn his fight with Nurarihyon and go to the side of the lord to save him.
"There must be something wrong... that's why Lord Nue is at a disadvantage. I need to save him and fulfil our dreams of creating our ideal society."
This was the only thought in Jizo's mind while the smug look on his face vanished and was replaced by a serious look.
After Nurarihyon was heavily injured by Hagoromo Gitsune, which left permanent damage on him and reduced his power by more than half.
So there must be no problem for him to repel him and go to the aid of his lord, who was in trouble.
But he never expected Nurarihyon would reclaim his power back and even his youthful appearance.
"Since you are in a hurry... let's get to the main discussion. You wanted to kill my grandson to fulfil your desire to kill my son, Rihan, right...?"
Looked at the shocked Jizo, who was trying to comprehend what was happening to him today.
First, Lord Nue lost; now Nurarihyon is back to his peak and reclaimed his youth.
The playful demeanour of Nurarihyon, who teased him a moment ago, was replaced by a cold look.
The aura of fear emitting from him increased the pressure on Jizo severalfold, which made Jizo remember a memory from the past where he once tried to assassinate Nurarihyon and fled in panic just with a brief contact with Nurarihyon's eyes.
Which glanced at him with mockery.
The surroundings vanished, leaving behind only him and Nurarihyon standing in the dark place.
"Now hear my regret... my regret is you are still breathing in this world even after plotting my son's death and injuring my grandson."
Swish~
With a cold tone, Nurarihyon vanished from his place just before the hypnosis wave from Jizo's foreeye could hit him.
And a deep slash suddenly appeared which cut him into two halves: the upper body and the lower body.
"____"
Splatter~
Thud~ thud~
Before Jizo could realize it, the dark mist started to pour out of his body, which had been cut in half.
"Why??? Why is this happening?"
Not able to accept the reality, Jizo cursed loudly, thinking where the plan went wrong that they had been planning and implementing for those thousand years had been trampled like this.
Slowly his whole body turned into black mist and was about to die and return to hell.
Leo's side...
While Leo, who was still standing in the sky, was looking at the sword he had just taken from Nue, who dropped it before he fell.
Kyouka Suigetsu was breathing life and had an unpleasant appearance, which is its original appearance that gets stronger whenever it's able to absorb the souls of its victims.
"From today, there is no Kyouka Suigetsu."
Taking a glance at the ugly sword, whose appearance is a mixture of muscle tissues and different types of canines, Leo was not interested in it.
[Ding...]
So he decided to destroy the sword just when he was about to throw it in the air and cut it into multiple pieces with his lightning sword; a system notification came.
[Host, don't destroy it. You could choose to integrate it with a Rekeri sword, which will help your soul get stronger by absorbing the soul of the one who was killed by you using it.]
Leo, who stopped midway, heard the system's explanation and thought for a moment.
System, what about Rekeri's appearance? Will it change, and how will I be able to integrate it?
Nodding his head, Leo asked how he would be able to integrate it.
[Host, you could integrate it... just with a command: "integrate," but it will take 2 months to fully integrate Kyouka Suigetsu into the Rekeri sword. And its appearance won't change.]
"Then do it. Integrate it."
After hearing the system, Leo nodded his head and commanded the system to start the process of integrating the two swords into one.
[Ding...]
[The integration process has started 1%...]
After seeing the system display where the integration process was shown, Leo turned his attention to Nue and Jizo, who were turning into black mist, indicating he was going to die and vanish at any moment.
Grip~
Landing on the ground near Nue, Leo once again stabbed Nue, pulled Kyouka Suigetsu back, and threw it at Jizo, who was vanishing.
Before Jizo fully vanished, Kyouka Suigetsu pierced through him.
The black mist, which had been dispersing from his body, started to get absorbed by Kyouka Suigetsu, including the black mist from the body of Nue.
"I... I... I want to create a society for us."
Cough~ cough~
"Aren't we qualified to have our society?"
Coughing up the black mist, Nue looked at the man who defeated him without breaking a sweat and asked his doubts.
Sigh~
"Nothing is wrong in creating a society, but it's wrong if you want to make others your slaves in the process."
With a sigh, Leo gave his answer calmly, standing beside the fallen Nue, who was finally absorbed by Kyouka Suigetsu.
The war ended after a full day of fighting, and the night sky started to light up due to the sun starting to rise.
After the death of two important yokai from the opposition side, they lost all their will to fight and tried to escape.
But all their ways were blocked, and with each second, one of their companions was dying like fallen leaves from a dead tree.
Kyouka Suigetsu, which had fully absorbed both the souls of Jizo and Nue, went to the inventory.
After the fight, Leo went to the site where he dropped Hagoromo Gitsune, where he saw she was looking at the spot where Nue fell and died, while tears were streaming from her eyes.
"____"
Without speaking, Leo sat beside her and looked at the sun, which was rising calmly.
"Are you going to mock me?"
Seeing Leo did not intend to speak, Hagoromo Gitsune, with a bitter smile, asked him.
He had already warned her about her son Seimei's intention of betraying her, but even though the fact was already before her eyes, love for her son blinded her or she did not want to believe it unconsciously.
Sigh~
"I don't have any say in this, but all I know very clearly is that he is not worthy of your love."
Shaking his head in denial, Leo sighed, spoke what was on his mind without hiding it, stood, and left without looking back.
No matter what he said, it wouldn't soothe the pain of a mother who loved and waited for her son for thousands of years.
So all he could give was space for her to grieve over the loss she had.
The war came to an end with a non-surprising victory by the Continental Hotel.
There was a huge roar of victory cries from the members of the Continental Hotel, who were screaming enthusiastically, celebrating their victory and hugging each other.
After the fight, Leo and others who were present inside the area saw the shield was set free after the time limit of the barrier expired.
Days started to pass...
According to the agreement, the onmyoji and Kyoto yokai who were on the side of Hagoromo Gitsune joined the continental ranking.
After that, Rikuo officially took the mantle of being the supreme commander from his old man, Nurarihyon, and officially became his heir.
Continental Hotel...
Inside Leo's cabin...
Leo was currently looking at the system screen before him with a wide smile on his face.

Looking at the rewards he had obtained by completing the tasks from the system for this world, Leo was satisfied.

With a nod, Leo asked the system to open his status panel to review his status.

Thud~
Creak~
The door of the cabin opened, and Nene entered with a little sad face.
"Sir Leo, one has arrived at the meeting hall."
With a little sad tone, Nene informed Leo that all had arrived at the meeting hall, answering his call for a summons.
At the meeting, only top-level executives were present. Leo informed them about his intention to travel to another world.
Everyone was shocked when they learned that Leo could travel between different worlds.
The ones who were present in the room were Leo's trusted men, and they had proved their loyalty to him.
So if he were to be absent for a long time, everything might change. He needed to inform his trusted men about it.
So they could maintain order in his absence.
Cough~ cough~
"According to our agreement, I am yours... so I should also follow you to the other world."
With a deliberate cough, Hagoromo Gitsune spoke with a little red hue on her cheeks while avoiding Leo's eye contact.
Puff~
"Sure... sure... if you want."
Suppressing his teasing laugh, Leo accepted her proposal to tag along with him.
Seeing Leo had accepted Hagoromo Gitsune's proposal, many others raised their hands to tag along with him.
But they were rejected by Leo, and later he promised to let them travel between the worlds.
The day of departure...
Leo, Mavis, Hagoromo Gitsune, Wakana, Kejoro, and Setsura caused a ruckus that froze Nurarihyon in place when she found out about Leo going to another world.
She was in remission, so she didn't attend the meeting.
After having a brief conversation, Leo took the New World ticket from the inventory and tore it.
Flash~
With a flash, Leo, along with his girls, vanished after a bright light emitted from the ticket Leo tore.
??? World...
A girl wearing a school uniform was looking at the lake before her, sadly thinking about something very deeply.
In the lake, a huge squid was playing with a few boys at the lakeshore using its huge tentacles.
"Don't worry, Bella... we will find a way."
A soft voice came from behind the girl, laced with the same concern and worry in it.
