After hearing this mysterious person announce his name, Drake finally figured out which world he had traveled to.
Twin Star Exorcists, as the name suggested, was a world themed around exorcists.
Samurai, ninjas, and exorcists were the professions that the island nation considered most unique and were also the most commonly used themes in various works.
And the island nation people always had a strange sense of self-confidence, believing that people in other countries must also like their ninja, samurai, or exorcist culture.
But in fact, it was because of those anime works that more people liked the island nation's culture.
For the creators of the island nation, what their own culture was like originally didn't matter at all. In order to cater to the audience's preferences, they actively made adjustments to it.
The Twin Star Exorcists was a typical example of this.
Although it used the name of exorcists and involved some knowledge of exorcists internally, the overall framework was still the good versus evil, hero-fighting-monsters formula.
Cursed power, magic power, cursed arts, and magic were actually just different names. So in this world, there were still many things worth studying for Drake.
In this world, human negative emotions would generate monsters called Impurities.
These monsters craved cursed power, so they would pull humans with cursed power into their living space, the Magano, increasing their own cursed power by collecting humans emotion.
And since ancient times, the people who had been protecting humans from Impurities were a group called exorcists.
But there were those who risked their lives to fight, vowing to protect humans, and naturally there were also those who would violate taboos for power.
The person in front of Drake, Yuto Ijika, was such a person.
Judging from his current appearance, he must have already caused the tragedy called the "Hiinatsuki Tragedy."
In that tragedy, Yuto Ijika used forbidden arts to transform the exorcist candidates who were studying with him into Impurities.
If the protagonist, Enmado Rokuro, hadn't been a special existence, he would have probably been caught as well. But even so, the protagonist, who was forced to kill his comrades, completely broke down and gave up the path of an exorcist.
And at that time, Yuto Ijika was twelve years old.
Probably no one would have thought that a twelve-year-old child from a prestigious family would do something so shocking. No wonder Drake had sensed such terrible malice from Yuto Ijika.
Yuto Ijika spread his hands, saying, "I have an amazing plan that needs suitable pawns. Unfortunately, the people I had my eye on before performed a bit poorly.
You're different. Your power is so great that it makes me want to cry with emotion! How about it, join me...!"
Before Yuto Ijika could finish speaking, Drake's fist slammed into his face, directly blasting him away.
"Don't disgust me! I'll only make you cry with pain!"
Even if he didn't know what Yuto Ijika had done, Drake wouldn't see him as a child based on his malice alone.
So Drake had no psychological burden in giving him a punch without hesitation.
Yuto Ijika brushed the dust off his cloak, standing up from the shattered ground.
"You're really impatient! It seems you're not an easy pawn to control; I'll have to tame you well before I can use you."
As he said this, Yuto Ijika's right arm was covered with a layer of dark green energy in front of Drake, as if he were wearing an arm guard.
In the next instant, Yuto Ijika had closed in on Drake, and that deformed arm was also attacking.
A triumphant smile had already appeared on Yuto Ijika's face, but before that smile could disappear, it completely deformed. Because Drake's fist had arrived faster, hitting the same spot as before.
Yuto Ijika flew out again, this time flying even further.
"You talk like you're stronger than me! Brat...!"
Drake took a step forward, and powerful magic power stirred up a gale, directly clearing the dust in the air.
"Don't be too arrogant!"
Yuto Ijika sat on the ground, staring at Drake intently, as if a giant beast that only appeared in myths had appeared behind Drake, roaring at him.
"What powerful and wonderful cursed power!" Yuto Ijika didn't feel any fear, instead revealing a fascinated expression.
"I want to obtain you even more!"
What a predatory statement; Drake's fists hardened. If he didn't deal with this pervert quickly, he would definitely be a big problem in the future. Drake immediately came to this conclusion based on his experience.
Suddenly, Yuto Ijika's expression changed, sighing, "A troublesome guy is coming. Seriously, this rare enjoyable time can only end here. But we'll definitely meet again!"
Drake said, "You think you can escape from me?"
Yuto Ijika laughed, saying, "I already know. Although you're powerful, you don't understand cursed arts at all!"
Only then did Drake notice that Yuto Ijika had a talisman in his hand at some point.
In just an instant, Drake had arrived before Yuto Ijika, punching him in the body. But Yuto Ijika's body directly scattered, turning into a pile of flying talismans.
"Tch! He's fast," Drake couldn't help but say.
Drake was completely unfamiliar with the exorcist's cursed arts, which was why Yuto Ijika had successfully escaped. Once Drake learned cursed arts, Yuto Ijika would never have such a chance.
But the problem now was that Drake couldn't even leave this space called Magano, let alone learn cursed arts.
Just then, Drake suddenly smelled a special scent.
It was the scent emanating from those talismans scattered around, and Drake immediately realized what that scent did!
A large number of Impurities had surrounded him, so densely packed that he couldn't count them.
Of course, for Drake, dealing with these Impurities was just a matter of some effort. Yuto Ijika also understood this, and he had only done such a tasteless thing to disgust Drake.
Just as Drake was about to take action, a slightly frivolous voice came.
"Hey! Young man, are you in trouble?"
Drake turned his head, seeing the man standing on the ruins.
The man was wearing a hunting robe, and a tall eboshi hat. A string of red beads with three tassels hung around his neck. Under his glasses were slightly narrow eyes, reflecting a light that was difficult to fathom.
Before Drake could answer, the man continued, "I don't recognize your face! Who might you be? And how did you end up in Magano?
Also, there should have been someone else here just now, right? Can you tell me where he went?"
Only then did Drake remember that Yuto Ijika had said that a troublesome person was coming. This man was more than just a troublesome person to Yuto Ijika.
Because he was the current head of the Exorcists Group, the man who commanded all the exorcists. His name was Tsuchimikado Arima, and he could be said to be the strongest exorcist right now.
Tsuchimikado Arima asked so many questions, but he didn't seem to care about Drake's answers at all, just smiling at Drake.
The surrounding Impurities couldn't tell how dangerous the man before them was. They only knew that Tsuchimikado Arima had a large amount of cursed power that they craved, so they shrieked and surrounded him.
Tsuchimikado Arima narrowed his eyes, saying faintly, "I'm talking. You're really... noisy!"
As Tsuchimikado Arima uttered the last syllable, a glowing pentagram suddenly appeared on all the surrounding Impurities, then instantly turned to ashes.
Drake looked at Tsuchimikado Arima, thinking that he lived up to his title as the head of the Exorcists Group. He had solved so many Impurities in an instant just by releasing his cursed power.
This cursed power was really worth studying!
