Chapter 417

A call came from the mountaintop.

Akaso Kaze looked toward the woods not far away.

Koizumi Akako was flying back and forth in the sky on her broomstick.

White spheres kept flying up from the ground, and Koizumi Akako dodged them left and right, just like Harry Potter playing Quidditch.

Akaso Kaze activated his Wind-Walking Technique and ran toward that direction.

Naturally, he would not expose his true strength; he was merely treading on snow without leaving a trace.

Upon arriving, he saw two figures standing in the woods.

One was massive, a full five meters tall, its entire body withered and skin-and-bones; standing there, it looked like a dead tree.

The other was fair-skinned all over, looking like a woman without clothes, but her whole body was covered in white snow, making it impossible to see her features.

The massive figure stretched out its giant claws, grabbing the fair-skinned woman's head.

The woman held her hands high, and the surrounding snow automatically gathered in her hands, forming snowballs that were launched at Koizumi Akako in the air.

"Akaso-san, come up quickly."

Koizumi Akako controlled her broom and flew down from the sky.

Akaso Kaze leaped with ease and jumped onto the back of her broom.

He wrapped his arms around her slender waist and, without saying a word, gave her a kiss to replenish her magic power.

Koizumi Akako, having recovered her magic, clearly let out a sigh of relief.

She explained the situation while dodging.

When the Snow Woman appears, return home early.

In the Rainbow Kingdom, the Snow Woman is a traditional monster known to every woman and child.

Legend has it that the Snow Woman is the daughter of the mountain god; she resembles a human in shape and appearance, possessing a beautiful face and a slender figure.

Sometimes she wears a white kimono, and sometimes she stands naked in the snow, revealing her face, hair, and more, using her sexy posture to lure people in.

At such times, men who lack the self-control of a man who can resist the temptation of a woman sitting on his lap are often lured by her into the snowy mountains.

Once they reach a secluded place, she either kisses them or takes things further, draining the other person's energy.

If it is someone she fancies, she will freeze them and take them back to her cave to display as an ornament.

All in all, the Snow Woman is one of the most approachable monsters in the mythology of the Rainbow Kingdom; she is neither evil nor wicked, but a very mysterious monster.

However, the Snow Woman below is different.

It is actually a shikigami of the ancient Onmyoji, Abe no Seimei.

It was refined using curses and sorcery.

It is said that it even used the body of a direct descendant of the Abe family.

It was thrown into an ice cellar made with secret arts, and various liquids were continuously poured in to strengthen her body; it took three full years of refining to create this shikigami.

After Abe no Seimei died, all the shikigami he used went missing.

It wasn't until recently that Koizumi Akako's family pooled the strength of several people and used high-level divination magic to determine its hiding place.

High-level divination magic?

Akaso Kaze had black lines on his forehead; it couldn't be the same one he often used to find people and things, could it?

Is that magic considered high-level?

"By the way, why are there two guys down there? Which one is the real Snow Woman?" Akaso Kaze asked.

"Of course, it's that terrifying big black one," Koizumi Akako replied while dodging a snowball.

Akaso Kaze took a look at its appearance.

Its withered, frizzy hair looked like a clump of rotten, discarded broom bristles.

On its dark, bruised skull, the skin of its face was shriveled and twisted together.

Its body didn't even show a single trace of feminine features anymore.

This is also a Snow Woman?

Can this image trick a man?

It couldn't even trick a ghost.

Sure enough, fairy tales are all lies.

"What is it doing? What is the other humanoid thing?" Akaso Kaze asked again.

"According to records, the lifespan of this shikigami's body is likely coming to an end, which is why we dared to come and deal with it."

Koizumi Akako knitted her delicate brows, "But looking at it now, it seems it wants to use the corpse of the woman below to be reborn."

A Snow Woman can be reborn?

Akaso Kaze raised an eyebrow.

"Don't worry, this process isn't that simple. On the contrary, because its power is being dispersed, it has become easier to destroy it."

As Koizumi Akako spoke, she pulled a strange, long object from her bosom.

"Over the past two days, I have set up a super magic array to gather magic power within a radius of several dozen miles."

"With sufficient magic power, I can cast a very powerful lightning spell."

Akaso Kaze finally understood; it turned out she wasn't running around because she was lost, but to set up the magic array.

"Akaso-san, help me control the direction of the broom to dodge the snowballs, and I will gather magic power to cast the spell."

Akaso Kaze reached his hands around Koizumi Akako's slender waist and gripped the broom handle in front of her.

He controlled the direction, swaying left and right.

For him, who often piloted the Mist Tengu, this was a piece of cake.

He even had the leisure to carefully observe Koizumi Akako's magic.

Koizumi Akako freed both hands, one gripping the strange object she had just pulled out.

Her wine-red eyes shone with an unusual light: "Absorb magic power!"

Akaso Kaze curled his lip.

What a familiar incantation.
