"They are not coming, huh?"

"Coward."

Dragon and Marcus were at Queens, looking at the big boulder in Cunningham Park. It was the last barrier cornerstone in New York City, and they had already observed it since afternoon.

Marcus ruffled his hair in frustration. "Shit, we are just wasting our time, aren't we?"

Rather than observing the cornerstone, they could've just tried to find the members of Memento Mori. But they were here, protecting the last line of defense, so the seal of the ghosts and demons wouldn't be broken.

The new barrier wasn't ready yet until tomorrow. And even now, when they were observing the last cornerstone, Marcus was working on the new cornerstone to erect a new barrier.

"If I concentrated on creating a new barrier, it would be done right now, dammit."

However, Dragon didn't think so. "I don't think we are wasting our time."

"What do you mean?" The old man asked, glancing at the purple-haired woman beside him.

Her lips curled up in a grin as she looked at the sky. She had picked up something interesting with the Spirit Power she spread to help with her vision. Something that would benefit them in case the ghosts and demons broke out before the new barrier was erected.

"The concurrent incidents that happened lately seem to wake her up," Dragon replied, raising her hand to the sky. "The air changed. It's become moist, similar to 10 years ago. She changed the climate once, causing a great flood, and just fell asleep after that. What a troublesome old lady."

Marcus didn't say anything and only looked at the sky. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, hovering ever so slightly, being blown by the wind. Slowly, they moved in the same direction, toward southern Europe.

"She moved to that place?" He asked, a similar grin appearing on his face. "That's why those Memento Mori guys didn't appear, huh?"

"Maybe." The old woman shrugged her shoulders. Her coat was ruffling in the sky due to the wind, and she crossed her arms under her ample breasts. "It could also be because those guys didn't think they needed to destroy the last cornerstone yet with that brat still in Romania."

"But they made a mistake."

"Yup, they are."

Both of them had the same thought. Memento Mori made the mistake of not targeting New York at this time.

While the Slayer Organization hadn't found Memento Mori's goal yet, they guessed that the organization was aiming for Kai, the Ruler. And then, the Boogeymen…

"That creature is also trying to get the perfect body," Dragon said, looking at Marcus. "Once again, I need to ask. Was it wise to send our grandson to Romania to find the Boogeymen?"

"Don't ever doubt me, you bitch." Marcus replied with a venomous tongue, like always. "It was not wise. It would be better if we were the ones who go to Romania, but…"

A distant look appeared on his face, looking at the sky. The dark clouds had passed them by already, and the twilight sky had regained its orange color. A soft breeze brushed past his hair, and he slowly sat down on his butt.

"Many supported him, and he needs to grow. He couldn't be a na?ve pussy anymore."

"You're too harsh. You do know whose body the Boogeymen used right now."

Dragon's soft voice trickled through his ears, causing him to grin widely.

"Hah!" He scoffed loudly. "That's why you can't kill the Boogeymen."

"To be exact, we can't. We are just too soft, aren't we?"

"Don't lump me together with you, old bitch. I just don't want my daughter to be sad at that time. Still…" Marcus frowned. "I hope that brat won't break from this. I can only pray to Buddha."

"Oh? So you're converting?"

"Shut up. Anyway, protect me for a few hours. I've completed my preparation. My familiars are already in their respective places."

"Already? That's fast." Dragon turned to Marcus, surprised.

The preparation shouldn't have been completed this fast. It was supposed to take a lot more time than this.

"Did you get stronger, old man?"

"Not really." Marcus shook his head, denying Dragon. "It's just that the leyline is brimming with Nature power now, thanks to her awakening. Though we need to expect a bad storm tomorrow."

"Ah, I see."

That was something she missed. While she could feel the change in her surroundings with her Spirit Power, she couldn't really feel something that was far away from her range. For the record, her range was limited to 500 meters radius with her as the center. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

"I will erect a barrier then. Will you do it from here?" Dragon asked, pulling out a Talisman with red ink written on it from her coat.

This was a special Talisman, the highest grade out of all the barrier Talismans out there, specifically designed to protect someone who was doing a ritual process. Created by one and only Marcus, the best Onmyouji from the Ashiya family, though he had already thrown away his family name 10 years ago.

"I will leave it to you." He said, putting his hands together and crossing his legs. "I will begin."

"Yup."

Then his Spirit Power leaked from all spots of his body, erupting like a blazing flame. It lit the roof where they stood with pale blue color, visible from all angles in New York City.

Dragon also began to work. She fed the Talisman in her hand with Spirit Power, erecting a triangular barrier around them. This barrier was made from lightning, the element he mastered the most.

"Don't fail, old bastard."

As an Onmyouji from the Ashiya Family, the descendant of Ashiya Douman, who was said to be the strongest rival, his Spirit Power reserve was one of the highest ever spotted from a human.

He also knew a lot of secret techniques and inherited many familiars or Shikigami they called in Japan who were loyal to him and would die at his expense.

And he pulled out five Talismans from his pockets. They were all black with gold ink used to write complex runes. They flew from his hand and hovered around his body.

Closing his eyes, he chanted.

"Protector of the east, Seiryu; Protector of the south, Suzaku; Protector of the west, Byakko; Protector of the north, Genbu. And the center protector, Kirin. Five Divine Beasts of the Myth drive back the disasters and keep the evil sealed."

As his chant was nearing the end, many low-grade and mid-grade ghosts showed themselves up on the roof.

"GyGAAAAA."

"KiillLL!"

"DaNggeRRR!!"

"Oh, they are coming." Dragon muttered, about to pull a Talisman from her pocket to erect a barrier.

But before she did that, the sky had turned purple from the barrier erected by Slayers in the distance. They knew that this ritual was important, and they also showed up on many roofs around Marcus and Dragon.

Griffin was one of the Slayers included in those many. He landed in front of Dragon and turned to her, who was erecting a barrier to protect Marcus, and shouted.

"Please leave them to us!"

"Yup~ I am counting on you, boy!"

The young Slayer nodded, then he spoke to the others around him. Then, those Slayers fought the ghosts together as Marcus concentrated on erecting the new barrier for New York City.

'That girl brought up a lot of good brats.' Dragon thought in her mind, proud of her disciple, Katarina.
