Samurai Oni
HOLY PRIEST

A priest came carrying his trademark weapon; a spell paper and a holy staff in his grasp. With determination radiated in the rays of his two eyes, he threw some paper at the yokai.

In an instant all the papers were stuck to their bodies not least with Akio.

“From heaven, vanish!” Pronouncing the mantra and changing the shape of his fingers to the front of his chest, the priest made the spell paper burn by the blue flames then burned their bodies.

“ARGHH!! WHATISTHIS??? HOT!!!”

Everything whimpers in pain, but another story if Akio. As he is a human being, the incantation is to eliminate the yokai only.

But Yasha was not affected by the blue flames. He still had a calm face and continued to smile as it was Yasha's everyday expression.

“Please leave this affair to me.” Yasha said so then swung her hand to the side.

The blue flames vanished and the spell paper had disappeared unceasingly. The priest was surprised. He spontaneously stepped back to maintain his distance.

“What kind of a Yokai is he? Why is he holding on?” The priest grumbled, in disbelief because this was his first time.

“Prime, we do not intend to injure. Except we all just want to protect our master.”

“Master? What is the person in the middle of you?”

“Yes. That's right.”

“Don't talk to that priest much. It's useless because he'll use something!”

As Kizu said, it seemed that the priest refused to budge. Moreover, there was a yokai in plain sight, where it was possible for him to escape before doing anything.

He took out another paper, a slightly different shape and once removed, the paper changed its shape to human form.

“Shikigami?”

“You two hold them for a second. I will make a sealing spell at this time,”, the priest told his shikigami.

“Hm, using paper dolls to survive. He will do something to us, what should I do Mr?” yasha asked Akio.

“Kill!” kizu Exclamation.

“Stop! Do not start the fight.”

“But he started! How dare he step on your pride?!”

“It's true! This can't be discussed properly,” said Akashi exasperated. He then attacked the shikigami violently. Using claws on red hands and at least managed to scratch the barrier as well as tear them both apart.

“Akashi! Don't act recklessly! The priest will do something!” nekomata Sweat.

“What?” Akashi stopped suddenly. And as soon as he turned his head, a glimmer of light resembling a spear pierced through his chest.

“Akashi!”

“Yasha,” call Akio in a very soft voice.

“Ya?”

It seems like Akio gave Yasha an order of something, and I don't know what she said when the noise surrounded them. The priest carrying out a suspicious move has now been targeted by Yasha.

Yasha darted, herself through the wall of the barrier that was supposed to be hard to penetrate, the priest widened his eyes in disbelief, and then immediately went to the higher steps.

The same electric current grabbed Yasha's fingers that were about to grab her neck at that moment.

“Wah, Mr. Reverend less friendly turns out.”

“Yokai what are you?! Show your true form!” the priest shouted while throwing a spell paper at him. An orange-colored flame snatched out and started circling Yasha's body.

In addition to the electricity coming from the multi-layered barrier on each rung of stairs and the burning fire, Yasha must also try to control the change at this time.

“Akashi off?”

The tip on the wooden sword pierced through Akashi's wound, and slowly the wound closed, Akio's wooden sword fell.

The situation became more complicated due to the arrival of the priest. At first Akio did not want to involve the priest, and hoped to get to the temple unhindered. But who would have thought because it brings yokai then a catastrophe like this will come.

The spell used by the priest on Akashi's body is a sealing spell. It can be said to be dead or not dead. His body was not injured but his soul was taken out and roamed. It turned out that this was what the priest wanted to do once he knew that they were not easy to beat yokai.

However Akio had at least managed to remove the spell with his own strength. He walked up the stairs, one step ahead of Yasha.

“Oni! You can even break through this barrier?! How strong are you really!?”

“Tuan ..”

“Is that all you can do, Yasha?” akio said as if humbling.

Yasha who was always calm was taken aback by him today. He laughed a little at himself, presumably he felt bad after sitting quietly as a tomb guard for decades.

“I didn't mean to hurt him. Please keep that in mind, Mister,” Yasha said then swinging a claw on her right arm.

The claw is able to tear the barrier until it disappears and then change its shape into a claw that has venom, extending until it finally touches a little of the priest's clothes.

Srak!

“Ah? This ...,”

The priest was silent for a moment then looked at the yokai who had a human appearance. Yasha made the priest shudder. He can't do anything and even sealing it won't be enough.

“Who are you really?!”

The priest then took a step towards the higher rungs. At that time layered barriers were re-erected at each rung of the temple.

“That cannot be said, Mr. Reverend.”

“You yokai exactly what was the purpose of you coming here? Say!”

“Master?” Yasha glanced towards Akio.

Akio shook his head, then Yasha recklessly climbed the stairs once again, even though it only ended up touching a little of the part of the stairs in front of him.

“Yokai like you can't possibly look for things that you shouldn't be able to accomplish in this place! Go!”

The priest stretched out his left arm, driving them all away.

Seeing them just staying there, the pastor once again said, “Go!”

“Master did not do obliterate us?”

“I know there are humans among you. Whoever your master is, I beg of you to leave this place immediately.”

“It can't. Our master wants to do something there. Can you let us through? We won't disturb.”

“I don't feel that you're going to kill me. That's why I'm so compassionate to let you all go. But it turns out you guys really intend to look for death?”

“Heh, that person is shameless. He was outnumbered and outnumbered as well as in strength. Still acting cocky,” said Kizu.

“Master we don't want any bloodshed.”

“Then enough your master that's it!”

“Go,” Akio told Yasha.

“Cannot. I feel it would be dangerous to leave you alone.”

Yasha's words were not heard by him at all, Akio just climbed the stairs.

“Wait, are you the master of them?” The priest pointed a stick at Akio.

A man came from above, he patted the pastor on the shoulder and said, “Stop this, Pastor. It's enough.”
