Drake leaned against a pillar, watching the gathered group of exorcists.
The surrounding exorcists also noticed Drake, but out of unfamiliarity with the special task that the head of the Exorcists Group Head had assigned him to within the Exorcist Union, no one came forward to talk.
Drake didn't care; he wasn't interested in interacting with these people anyway. After all, Tsuchimikado Arima had bluntly called them "mediocre" in front of him.
Drake was currently in a very spacious area that looked like a huge cave, but it was filled with wooden and stone buildings.
Most conspicuous was a huge pentagram drawn on the ground, and the five points of the pentagram were written in different colors with the five characters for metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The Mirror-Clear Water, a place for exorcists to gather and discuss important matters.
This wasn't a real place; it was a special space constructed with cursed arts. Therefore, exorcists from various places could enter this space through different entrances.
Being able to construct a stable and long-lasting space, cursed arts definitely had something unique in this regard.
Drake knew that the Magano, where the Impurities lived, wasn't another world, but a dimensional great barrier established by the exorcist Abe no Seimei.
Earlier, Tsuchimikado Arima had said that he needed Drake's help, but after telling him to come here on time, he had disappeared without a word.
Drake didn't know what he was planning to do.
Soon, more people entered the Mirror-Clear Water, but this time the people were a bit different.
The people who had come before were all high-ranking members of various branches, and the youngest were middle-aged. But several young people had just entered, and some of them weren't wearing the exorcist's uniform but were wearing school uniforms.
And Drake noticed those two teenagers wearing school uniforms.
The cursed power on these two people wasn't weak; in fact, few of the old men present had more cursed power than these two thirteen- or fourteen-year-old children.
But in Drake's eyes, the amount of cursed power on these two wasn't that strong. What Drake found noteworthy was the essence of the cursed power on them.
If he had to describe it, the cursed power on these two was more pure, closer to the origin of the world.
It seemed these two were the protagonists of this world, the Twin Star Exorcists.
Since coming to this world, Drake had wandered around Magano for several days, then directly followed Tsuchimikado Arima to the Exorcist Union headquarters to study. He hadn't actively tried to find out how far the plot had progressed.
Now it seemed that it was at the beginning of the story.
Tsuchimikado Arima, wearing a uniform, suddenly appeared on the stone platform, spreading his arms wide and saying loudly, "Ah, everyone, sorry to keep you waiting! I'm the head of the Exorcists Group Head, Tsuchimikado Arima. Thank you all for coming here.
There's no other purpose for gathering everyone here. Today, I have some incredibly delightful news to share.
This time, I received a very, very wonderful divine revelation. According to that divine revelation, our exorcists' long-standing battle with the Impurities is finally, finally, finally going to come to an end.
That's right, the Child of God! The divine revelation revealed the appearance of the Child of God! This news is very exciting, right!"
Drake couldn't help but shake his head. This was a major event concerning the entire island nation, but Tsuchimikado Arima's flamboyant announcement made one suspect its authenticity. It could only be said to be Tsuchimikado Arima's personal talent.
Tsuchimikado Arima continued, "A solitary existence passed down from ancient times, possessing cursed power surpassing that of the great exorcist Abe no Seimei, the strongest exorcist who is said to be able to exorcise all Impurities and bring an end to that hateful Magano. That is the Child of God."
Listening to Tsuchimikado Arima's introduction, Drake couldn't help but recall the information he had seen at the Exorcist Union headquarters.
What Arima was saying was indeed the official record of the Child of God, but both higher-level information and Drake's own memory indicated that the so-called Child of God actually had other secrets.
In ancient times, human negative emotions gave birth to monsters called chimi-moryo or yokai.
At that time, the great exorcist Abe no Seimei realized that the power of malice could become the root of the world's destruction, so he used cursed arts to create an "Otherworld" below the current Exorcist Union headquarters.
And in the sky of the "Otherworld," he planted a large tree called the "Pillar of Heaven."
The Pillar of Heaven absorbed the Yin energy formed by human malice into the Otherworld. The Yin energy, representing destruction, turned the Otherworld into a dilapidated world, which was Magano.
And human malice accumulated in this world, forming monsters called Impurities.
So Abe no Seimei formed the Exorcist Union and gave the power of his twelve shikigami to qualified exorcists, forming the Twelve Guardians to fight against the Impurities.
But Abe no Seimei knew very well that the source of the Impurities' power was human malice. So the Impurities' power would expand infinitely until it destroyed the entire world.
So Abe no Seimei prepared the Twin Star Exorcists and Child of God plans.
The condensation of Yin energy, the boy Enmado Rokuro nurtured by the Pillar of Heaven. And the girl Adashino Benio, born from humans as the Pillar of Heaven converted Yin energy into Yang energy. These two were the Twin Star Exorcists.
Exorcists, as the name suggested, could only obtain the so-called divine power by mastering both Yin and Yang powers.
And the combination of the two, who possessed Yin and Yang power respectively, would give birth to the Child of God, who would master divine power.
And only the Child of God, who mastered both powers, could directly purify all the Impurities in Magano.
As for the so-called divine revelation, Drake seriously suspected that it was Abe no Seimei himself reminding Tsuchimikado Arima that the Twin Star Exorcists had appeared, urging him to complete the Child of God plan.
If they were talking about gods, Abe no Seimei, who created Magano and the Exorcist Union, might really be qualified to call himself a god.
And Abe no Seimei was really ruthless. The root of the Impurities was, after all, human malice, and even the Child of God, who mastered divine power, might not be able to eliminate it.
So his backup plan was to directly eliminate the source of the Impurities, which was humanity itself.
Enmado Rokuro was not only one of the Twin Star Exorcists but also a weapon responsible for eliminating all humans.
Abe no Seimei called him the Star Destroyer King, meaning the king who destroyed planets. Don't ask me how Abe no Seimei knew that he was on a ball in that era, and don't ask what exactly was protected by doing so. Anyway, that's what Seimei planned.
Drake's thoughts suddenly went off track. It seemed that the guys who arranged such amazing plans, in the end, often became the final boss.
So digging up the coffin of the ancestors was also a traditional art.
Drake pulled back his wandering thoughts. A fight had already broken out below.
Tsuchimikado Arima didn't directly announce that the two were the Twin Star Exorcists, but instead called them out and had them fight with all their might when announcing the Child of God's identity.
In order to provoke Enmado Rokuro, who was unwilling to fight, Tsuchimikado Arima even mocked his deceased comrades.
If it were Drake, he would have smashed his head to pieces. How could Enmado Rokuro endure it? Then he started fighting Adashino Benio, who was blocking his way.
Drake looked at Enmado Rokuro's arm, which was the same as Yuto Ijika's except for the color, and then shook his head.
As expected, the male lead at this time was simply unbearable to watch.
