20

Reishin and Akane enter a shrine housing the Master Tera Stone, absorbing its Tera to destroy the Earth Seal. This action releases the Masagami, a dark entity that generates ghosts as physical manifestations of malice. Namu recognizes that these forces are targeting Kuro, the Shishigami princess, and attempts to intervene. He carries Kuro and Keita to safety while others try to stop the attackers. A flashback reveals Reishin’s past: he opposed the Shishigami Clan’s plan to kill Kuro, whom they believed to be the Masagami’s reincarnation. During the conflict, Reishin eliminated the entire clan. To free them from the Masagami curse, he sacrificed his mother, a shrine maiden, to the Tera Stone. In the present, he formed a Contract with Akane to finally break this curse. As Kuro awakens from stasis, a surge of Tera Energy confirms she is one of the three Masagami.
