-590- The result from the summoning

The Onmyou Agency's headquarters was an ancient and spacious building, housing various facilities related to curse techniques due to its central role in the nation's governance.

Among them was a storage room used as a warehouse. This was a sealed storage room designed to safeguard highly dangerous cursed objects—items cursed, possessed by strange spirits, or designated as forbidden. Anything perilous that would be dangerous if neglected was stored here, protected by formidable barriers.

Deep within this storage room, on an elevated platform inscribed with sacred texts, two cages were placed.

The cages were similarly covered in sacred writings and affixed with talismans. They were surrounded by a circle of linked ropes, emitting a faint and insurmountable mystical force, attesting to their careful containment.

If an expert were present and witnessed this scene, they would undoubtedly be astonished. The contents of these cages were beings emitting an aura of nobility and extraordinariness.

They were none other than Kinu and Gyokuto.

Upon closer inspection within these cages, Kinu stood while Gyokuto lay, their eyes closed as they were immersed in slumber.

Evidently, layers of seals and barriers surrounding these two divine beings were at work, inducing a deep slumber.

However, even though they were bound by numerous seals and barriers, the majestic aura emanating from Kinu and Gyokuto couldn't be completely isolated. It continued to emanate from within the cages, impossible to restrain.

Feeling this noble aura, an ordinary onmyoji would likely involuntarily kneel down, their entire being captivated by the opponent's divinity and sanctity, unable to free themselves from its allure.

And naturally, for onmyoji, these manifested deities were the ultimate treasures in this world, likely to drive countless individuals into madness.

For enthusiasts of jujutsu, this was an unknown realm of gods. Just based on this, those deeply passionate about jujutsu would be unable to resist their allure.

Especially individuals like Kurahashi Genji, Soma Takiko, Yashamaru, and Kumomaru—they wouldn't sit idly by when faced with such a miracle.

So, after they finish handling everything on their end, they will surely come in contact with Kinu and Gyokuto, attempting to unravel more secrets about the gods, right?

Unfortunately, they wouldn't be able to.

At a certain moment...

"————Come forth, Kinu, Gyokuto————"

This call pierced through the constraints of time and space, resonating directly in the hearts of Kinu and Gyokuto in a form no one else could hear.

"————"

The moment the sound rang out, the auras emanating from Kinu and Gyokuto froze, then erupted suddenly.

"Bang!"

In the symphony of explosions, both cages simultaneously shattered. The multiple layers of seals and barriers on them seemed as fragile as paper, torn apart.

Subsequently, a golden radiance and a silver radiance surged forth, streaking through the air like two chasing meteors, heading towards the facility's exterior.

Under this circumstance, the barriers within the storage room were shattered one after another. The thick and robust gates shattered entirely, leaving nothing. Nothing could halt these two meteoric streaks.

When the two meteors disappeared, the Onmyou Agency was in complete chaos.

Kinu and Gyokuto flew recklessly within the Onmyou Agency, treating all barriers, jujutsu, and defenses equally, scattering them. Finally, as the personnel in the Onmyou Agency fell into panic and chaos, they flew towards the fourth underground floor.

Onmyou Agency, fourth underground floor.

At this moment, Rozen in his cell seemed to sense something and opened his eyes.

"They're here."

As soon as this sound escaped Rozen's lips, deafening sounds of shattering erupted from outside. It sounded like barriers being shattered or walls and gates being sent flying, creating a loud and thunderous roar. This caused the inmates here to scream, plunging the place into chaos.

Not long after, a golden and a silver streak appeared outside Rozen's cell, flying straight towards him.

"Bang!"

The iron bars of the cell were instantly shattered and exploded in all directions.

Rozen used the technique 'Telekinesis' to sweep away the shards of the attacking cell, also dissipating the remaining shock waves, welcoming the two streaks.

The next moment, from the golden streak emerged a three-legged crow sprinkled with fiery powder. From the silver streak emerged a white rabbit with a body as beautiful as jade.

Kinu and Gyokuto emitted cheerful sounds and respectively landed on Rozen's shoulder and leaped into his embrace. They acted like they had been waiting for a long time, wondering why they were summoned only now.

"Sorry, sorry for making you go through some discomfort."

Rozen patted the soft fur of Gyokuto in his embrace and scratched the chin of Kinu on his shoulder, instantly improving the moods of the two shikigami.

Seeing this, Rozen then checked his own magical power.

"Indeed, commanding divine beings in battle consumes too much. Just summoning Kinu and Gyokuto to come over already depleted 30% of my magical power."

Confirming this, Rozen drew spiritual energy once again from Hokuto to expedite his recovery and nodded.

"However, without Kinu and Gyokuto's rampage, I don't know how much effort and time it would take to break through all the barriers and jujutsu on the way here. Considering this, it's only natural they would have this level of consumption."

But this kind of consumption couldn't continue.

"Next, I'll rely on you to fulfill your original roles, Kinu, Gyokuto."

Rozen signaled to his two shikigami and familiars, prompting both spiritual beasts to nod.

Immediately, Kinu soared into the air, transforming into a burst of fiery powder, enveloping Rozen. Gyokuto, on the other hand, made a swift turn, transforming into a ball of light and darting towards Rozen's hand.

Thus, a pitch-black coat sprinkled with fiery powder appeared on Rozen. A delicate and beautiful ring adorned Rozen's left finger, forming a pair with his 'Miracle' on the right hand.

At this point, Kinu and Gyokuto returned to their original purpose, transforming into curse tools, becoming Rozen's strength.

"Using the form of curse tools to act, the consumption has indeed reduced considerably. It can fully support prolonged combat."

Rozen felt the change in himself once again and confirmed this, revealing a smile.

"Now then,"

Rozen looked up, gazing outside the cell.

"Let's start by rescuing Natsume and Suzuka."

After saying that, Rozen's thoughts flowed towards Kinu, causing the pitch-black coat on him to flutter.

Rozen floated in mid-air with the dazzling fiery powder, darting towards the outside like an arrow, disregarding the cries for help from the inmates, heading towards the Onmyou Agency on the ground.
