Chapter 123 – Digging Through Memories

Ash and debris flew in the air, carried by the wind, giving everything a grayish tint. Corpses of people in black coats with the Slayer Organization's logo were scattered everywhere, some of them caught in flames. Kai was standing in the middle of the chaos, trying to make sense of what he was seeing.

Two giants with an ox and horse head were fighting something covered in a shadow, and an old man was protecting him from harm. The shadow's voice boomed through the air, its words filled with a sense of foreboding.

"You shall not stop us from achieving immortality! Nuisances!" it bellowed. A burst of dark red Spirit Power appeared from the shadow's body, hitting the two giants.

The old man activated a talisman, and a blue hexagonal barrier appeared around them, blocking the shadow's attack. "Gozu! Mezu! Stop him!" he shouted, directing the giants to attack the shadow.
