Chapter 468 - Chapter 468 About to Successfully Train

(T/N: Another missing story. This time, the story directly reach this part and I can't find anything in between. So sorry about this.)

[Maintaining the technique for ten days, even though you were constantly absorbing Moryo's power, it was an extreme situation for your spirit to hold out.]

'Without the transformed life force energy, he would probably have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.'

Takumi immediately understood how little Takumi had managed to last so long.

For him now, staying awake for ten days and nights was simple, but that was because he had unlimited stamina.

Little Takumi did not.

[Returning home, you were unconscious for a day and a night.]

[When you opened your eyes again, you saw your little sister Miroku's worried gaze.]

["Big brother is awake!" Seeing you open your eyes, Miroku immediately broke into a big smile, got up, and ran off shouting.]

[Soon, she returned with your mother and father.]

[You sat up and saw the lingering worry and concern in your mother's eyes, and couldn't help but smile slightly.]

["I'm sorry for not listening to you." You said with a smile, but there was no apology on your face.]

["You did very well." Your father patted your shoulder, looking at you with a complicated expression.]

[Gratitude, relief, satisfaction – all these mixed together showed the pressure your father had been under.]

["Big brother is a lazybones!" Your little sister Miroku stood by your mother's leg, pulling down her eyelid at you.]

[You smiled and didn't mind.]

[At this moment, the warmth of family surrounded you.]

'Fate has changed. Now that Moryo's power has been drained and it's sealed, who knows how long it will be before it can accumulate enough power again.'

Takumi was also relieved.

Through his efforts, little Takumi had finally kept his family from being torn apart.

He had preserved the integrity of his home.

This was something Takumi envied.

[But good times don't last.]

[You soon noticed an abnormality in your body.]

[Countless voices echoed in your mind, but you couldn't make out what they were saying.]

[This was different from the voices left behind after absorbing intelligent monsters. These voices weren't malicious, but they reverberated in your mind constantly.]

[Whether you were training, eating, sleeping, anytime, you could hear these voices.]

[You tried to focus and ignore them, but you failed.]

[Your mental state deteriorated. Unable to sleep, the circles under your eyes grew darker.]

[Your parents noticed your condition, and under your mother's insistence, you had to explain what was happening to you.]

[But you and your mother tried many times and still couldn't find a way to remove these voices.]

"Truly, good times don't last."

Takumi smiled bitterly.

He could guess this was definitely a side effect of absorbing Moryo's power.

Although most of Moryo's power was transformed, little Takumi had still absorbed some to improve his own strength.

But Moryo was only sealed, not dead.

Because Moryo's soul was still sealed in the underground palace.

And its body was sealed inside little Takumi.

This made little Takumi seem to become a bridge for Moryo's power channel.

And Moryo's power came from human negative energy.

This energy passed through little Takumi, entering the sealed Moryo body.

Little Takumi would naturally be affected.

He just didn't know if little Takumi could resolve the influence.

[You tried to improve the formulas, but without determining the cause of the voices, your actions were futile.]

[After a month without sleep, your mind became increasingly chaotic.]

[Finally, you fell into a deep unconsciousness, losing all sensation.]

[No one knows how long passed; you finally woke up.]

[But the scene before you left you stunned.]

[Corpses littered the fields.]

[Piles of corpses formed mountains before you.]

[You couldn't estimate how many people there were, but the whole scene deeply shocked you.]

[There were civilians, Shinobi, and nobles.]

[In life, they had status differences, but in death, those barriers no longer existed.]

[You looked down; your hands were clean, without a trace of blood.]

[But you couldn't help trembling.]

[You knew you had done all this. The ones who killed these people were unmistakably the monsters you controlled.]

'This situation is truly unexpected.'

Takumi frowned, vaguely sensing the specific situation.

But until the simulation continued, he couldn't say for sure.

[After you woke up, you could sense many threads bound to your soul.]

[These threads connected to individual monsters, all of which were very powerful, and had now become your underlings, executing your every command under your control.]

[And the mountains of corpses before you were the result of commands you issued while unconscious.]

[Suddenly, your expression changed, and you frantically rushed towards the Land of Demons.]

["Please don't let anything happen! Please don't let anything happen!" You prayed earnestly, hoping things wouldn't turn out as you feared.]

[But when you arrived near your home, you stopped, hesitating to take that step.]

[You were afraid of seeing ruins and unburied corpses.]

[But you gritted your teeth and went anyway.]

["Thank goodness!" Seeing the intact residence, you breathed a long sigh of relief.]

[But when you tried to approach, an invisible barrier blocked you.]

[It was the power of the Miko; you immediately recognized it.]

['Mother is still alive.' You thought happily, but then you felt lost.]

[The existence of this barrier meant you were no longer welcome in this home.]

[You didn't know what you had done, and now you didn't want to know.]

[You turned around and wandered aimlessly.]

[Unconsciously, you arrived at the underground palace, as if some invisible force was guiding your direction.]

[You looked up at the entrance to the underground palace.]

[Your blank gaze quickly became firm.]

[You still remembered your promise to your mother: protect your little sister Miroku.]

[You walked step by step towards the underground palace. With each step, a monster behind you turned to ash and disappeared.]

[The power belonging to the monsters was gathered into you.]

[When you entered the underground palace, there were no longer any monster armies behind you.]

[The vast power converged within you, making your walk unsteady.]

[Finally, after some time, you arrived before the shrine sealing Moryo's soul. You took the sealed Moryo's body from within yourself.]

["This time, no one will break the seal again." You said softly and closed your eyes.]

[Then, a vast interlinked sealing formula quickly spread out, illuminating the entire ground.]

[Your internal energy drained rapidly; the power you had extracted from those monsters was consumed quickly.]

[When the monsters' power was exhausted, you began to consume your own power.]

[And your life.]
