-----
Suddenly, to the surprise of everyone, something happened!
Matsuo, who believed things were over, was shocked to find his own father.
He and a group of monks had managed to pick everyone up and ran away as quickly as possible.
At the same time, Matsuo's father had left hundreds of his talismans which he had prepared beforehand across the city, conjuring mirroring barriers.
His father was well known for being a master of Barrier Magic and Paper Talismans, and among his many spells and techniques, his strongest ability which he had used to deceive even swarms of thousands of Yokai was {Mirroring Illusory Barrier}!
This miraculous barrier reflected whatever the one looking at it wanted to see in that very moment. Medea desired to see their bodies torn to shreds, and so, the barriers gave her what she wanted.
These talismans were spread through the entire area a few seconds before her attack reached Matsuo and his friends.
