A few days after Kanda Shrine was attacked, the Sanjusangen-do faced an assault as well.
Once again, beneath the veil of night, a bluish-gray mist suddenly materialized, and spirits emerged from the haze.
These were also minor apparitions hardly worth mentioning, and with an ancestral mage stationed at Sanjusangen-do, the assault was effortlessly deflected.
The attacks on both shrine and temple indicate someone is genuinely attempting to seize Taira no Masakado's right hand and head.
However, the intensity of these attacks was pathetically low.
So low that Kamiya and the others suspected that these assaults were merely probing attempts.
Thus, neither Kanda Shrine nor Sanjusangen-do loosened their defensive measures.
Moreover, the method of employing ghostly hordes for the attacks is eerily reminiscent of the turmoil caused by Lady Taki-Yasha a thousand years ago.
