--- Chapter 177 ---

Miroku led Yunlong into the sealing place, and pitch dark ponds came into their vision, which radiated with a demonic aura.

"...Oh?" A hoarse cold voice suddenly echoed. "Miroku, It's been a while."

"Moryo..." Miroku coldly stared at the pond and quickly noticed the sealing place had cracked slightly.

Yunlong suddenly stepped in front of Miroku and looked around with an observant gaze because he knew Moryo could attack them from anywhere.

"How much time do you need for sealing Moryo?" Yunlong asked while activating his sharingan.

"A few minutes... I couldn't move at that moment because my sealing technique requires a lot of focus." Miroku silently replied, to which Yunlong responded with a nod.

Yunlong casually flicked his fingers, which created a golden sword that shone dimly with white light.

They firmly walked forward to the sealing place, a stone altar in the middle of the pond, which cracked from the center.

Miroku immediately kneeled and touched the altar with her hand. "Please buy me some time." She said with a solemn expression.

ROAR!

A shadowy silhouette burst out of the black ponds.

It was a gigantic serpentine creature with a very long dark purple body and multiple dragon-based heads, at least four that Yunlong saw. Its eyes are glowing red, and its tongues are blue. There is a lighter purple aura surrounding its humongous body.

"The priestess... Miroku, I've waited for this time to come. I can finally kill you like I killed your ancestors in the past! Hahaha!" Moryo launched one of his heads toward Miroku, which abruptly separated from his serpentine body.

"...Silent Slash." Yunlong placed his sword forward and calmly looked at Moryo.

Moryo quickly regenerated his head and moved his red eyes to Yunlong. "Human, how dare you...!" He coldly said.

"Come." Yunlong taunted with a smirk on his face, which annoyed Moryo.

ROAR! BOOM!

Moryo roared wildly, and the area got violently shaken while numerous purple tentacles burst out of the pond.

"Thousand Swords..." Yunlong chanted while calling his spirit rings, which materialized behind his back.

Golden swords appeared one by one and quietly floated behind Yunlong, which caused Miroku's eyes to widen in surprise.

"Golden River!"

The golden swords moved like a flowing golden river and attacked Moryo's gigantic body with such ease.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Moryo couldn't deflect Yunlong's attack as every time he regenerated his body to defend himself, another golden sword came and cut him.

"Are you done yet?" Yunlong asked with a frown.

Miroku hurriedly chanted a few words, and a gentle purple light came from her hand.

She touched the altar, brimming sealing characters floated around her and spreading at a fast rate to all directions.

Crack!

The altar abruptly cracked, and a sharp tentacle penetrated Miroku's stomach.

Cough!

"T-The altar..." Miroku's eyes widened in awe because the altar should be fine.

"Kekeke... Do you think I'll let your family seal me again?" Moryo indifferently commented while laughing.

"I destroyed the seal a long time ago, but my body couldn't become stable because of the altar, which had a residue of seal power."

"However, you forgot about my soul! I have a few good pawns, and they helped me set up this plan to kill you..."

"T-This can't be." Miroku coughed another blood and looked at Moryo with a disbelieving expression.

Moryo laughed heartily, but Miroku's body suddenly burst out into white smoke.

"Got you..." Yunlong floated in the air with a bow in his hand.

A thunderous sound appeared from Yunlong's hand, and crimson lightning quickly turned into a menacing red arrow.

Yunlong released his hand from the bowstrings, and a red flash struck the pond.

"Lightning Retribution."

SWOOSH! BOOM!

A pillar of red light burst out from the pond and destroyed the cave ceiling, which brightened the area.

"AAARRRGGGHHH! ROAAAAARRRRR!"

Miroku looked at this scene from afar with a stunned expression and held her hand together, praying for Yunlong's safety.

"It's not over, fake dragon," Yunlong mocked while looking at Moryo, who has lost three of his heads.

"HOW DARE YOU!"

Moryo angrily launched his serpentine body toward Yunlong, and an enormous shadow suddenly covered his eyesight.

"Heaven's Fall."

Yunlong coldly gazed at Moryo, and a broad golden sword akin to a mountain fell into Moryo's body.

BOOOOOOOM!

The sword pierced Moryo's body and deeply struck him into the depth of the dark pond.

Moryo tried to fight back by separating his serpentine body into a few sections, but Yunlong only coldly grinned for some reason.

"Oh, you're fine?" Yunlong said while tilting his head.

"What about the second sword ?"

Another broad golden sword fell into Moryo.

ROAAAAAAAARRR! BOOM!

"Third sword?"

ROOOAAARR! BOOM!

"Fourth sword?"

ROOOOARR! BOOM!

"Fifth sword?"

BOOOOOOM!

Yunlong calmly looked at Moryo, who has been pinned into the dark pool with one giant sword on its body and four giant swords on each head.

"H-How could a human have this kind of power..." Moryo's red eyes flickered with fear.

He moved his gaze to Yunlong and noticed his eyes have changed into Sharingan with a weird pattern.

Crackle!

A thunderclap echoed in the destroyed cave, and black clouds quickly surrounded the area, which shocked Moryo because the scenery was so clear a few moments ago.

Yunlong's left arm has turned into a dragon arm with golden scales and red lighting flickering around his sharp claws.

"I'm not the type of person who likes to copy others. However, this is an exception." Yunlong said while launching the lighting to the skies.

The red lightning touched the black clouds and crimson gold dragon's silhouettes dancing with a violent atmosphere.

"D-Demon..." Moryo mumbled with a defeated tone.

"Dragon's Tribulation Strike." Yunlong casually brought his hand down.

ROOAARR!

A mighty dragon roar echoed through the land of demons, and a gigantic dragon with reddish-golden scales fell to the cave.

"Unbelievable-."

Moryo's last word before a brilliant crimson gold pillar of light swept over the area.

BOOOOOOOOM!

Full-scale destruction happened on the mountain, and a deep hole filled with burning fire was left afterward.

Shockwave reached Miroku's place, and she hardly stood on the ground because this was enough to launch her away.

Yunlong appeared behind Miroku and calmly supported her by grasping her shoulders.

"T-Thank you," Miroku said while slightly bowing her head.

"It's okay," Yunlong responded with a nod.

[You have killed Moryo]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony activated]

[You have obtained 100,000 years old spirit ring]

[You have gained Darkness Manipulation and Demonic Shadow Realm]

Yunlong heard the system notification and frowned for a moment because it seemed his last attack had killed Moryo.

"Moryo's presence gone...?" Miroku said with a confused tone. "Its demonic existence has disappeared from this land."

[Host!]

[You should hurriedly go to Roran]

Neo suddenly alarmed Yunlong, which surprised him.

'What happened, Neo? Did you find something?' Yunlong calmly asked.

[This place is not an ordinary illusion realm]

[I have sensed illusion law combined with space and time law before, but another higher law actually resided in this world]

'Another law?' Yunlong frowned deeply.

[Heavenly Fate Law]

[The reason why you appeared in this illusion realm was because of this law. However, this isn't the reason why I suddenly warned you.]

[Heavenly Fate Law slowly changed your past fate, which means this isn't just an illusion, but actual past]

'How that can be possible... Angel God couldn't do such a thing.' Yunlong doubted with a solemn expression.

[A higher being above Angel God have altered your trial, Host]
