Arriving above the dam, they see the crow Yokai perched from the left side. Fujiyama's expression turned serious as he exchanged glances with the crow Yokai.
“Kozagawa, please release them. I'll make sure they don't affect any of our plans.”
From Fujiyama's words, it can be known that the crow Yokai's name is Kozagawa. Kozagawa replied
"Sorry Fujiyama, I still can't take the risk of us endangering the Yokais."
The crow Yokai moves to bite them using his gigantic beak, which is covered in armor shaped like a blunt armor made of metal and is a lid of something, which, when opened, contains additional armor in the form of sharp teeth and blunt teeth inside it.
That took them all by surprise. When the crow Yokai's gigantic beak was about to hit them, they blocked it with their respective Yokai weapons with Asanuma and Shinra, who held back even though their bodies had standard sizes in energy-saving mode. Their attacks collided violently with the Crow Yokai's gigantic beak causing sparks and a massive wind blast, succeeded in bringing the crow's beak's movements to an instant halt. Asanuma and Shinra simultaneously pushed the crow Yokai's beak, causing him to be pushed backward back to a straight standing position and making the crow Yokai slightly off balance for a moment. The crow Yokai immediately stabilized its stance.
The crow Yokai entered a stance about to flap its wings again. Makoto and the others got ready. The grayish-black smoke on the crow Yokai's wings grew thicker, and the black flames burning on its wings grew fiercer and more turbulent behind the armor covering these wings. Fujiyama appeared to have immediately realized something.
"We can't just fend off the hot smoke. We need something else."
The others were shocked. The grayish-black smoke billowing from the crow Yokai's burning wings were blown and immediately rushed towards them quickly, sending them into shock. Fujiyama said.
“Asanuma and Shinra, grow big and use your black smoke to protect us.”
Hearing that caught the attention of every one of them. Without asking, Asanuma and Shinra concentrated, and their bodies began to billow black smoke, quickly spreading around them all. Shortly after, the grayish-black smoke from the crow Yokai's wings engulfed them until they were all out of sight. The smoke from the Crow Yokai's wings passed them, then hit and immediately burned parts of the dam and some of the forest trees in its path.
Not long after, grayish-black smoke spread in all directions, and from behind it, Asanuma and Shinra appeared with their huge bodies, a height of their shoulders four meters from the ground. Black smoke still billowing and spreading throughout Asanuma and Shinra’s bodies also envelop Makoto, Shu, and Yukari. This black smoke blew the grayish-black hot smoke of the crow Yokai's wings that burned by the black flames away from Makoto and the others. Ken looked surprised to see that. Ken thought.
“What exactly was the black smoke billowing from Shinra and Asanuma's bodies? This smoke doesn't feel hot or cold, it doesn't cause even a slight cough.”
Ken wanted to ask about it, but he didn't because the situation was not right.
Asanuma and Shinra were able to act in time; everyone took cover between their huge bodies and the black smoke that was billowing from all over them. Asanuma's and Shinra's huge bodies were still much smaller than the giant body size of the crow Yokai Kozagawa. Asanuma and Shinra’s expressions turned serious while glaring at the crow Yokai. Asanuma looked at Makoto and the others.
“Phew, you guys almost became smoked meats.”
Before long, Asanuma appeared to realize something
“By the way I want to eat smoked meat, especially hum…, I mean smoked meat.”

Shinra looked at Asanuma with a deadpan expression. Ken replied
“We have to defeat the crow Yokai Asanuma.”
Asanuma looked at Ken with a serious expression, then nodded. Shinra appeared to remember something.
“Defeated gods type Yokai huh? Doesn't this remind you of the past, right Asanuma?”
Asanuma looked slightly surprised and immediately looked back at Shinra. Asanuma smiled
“That’s right, remind of your past too perhaps?”
Shinra smirked
“That's right, let's defeat him.”
Asanuma smirked
“Of course, just make sure you don't get in my way.”
Hearing their conversation, the expressions of the others turned curious. Fujiyama appeared to have realized something. Fujiyama thought.
"This battle will be difficult, they don't know who they are facing."
Fujiyama's gaze fell on the centipede Yokai who was still knocked unconscious by the bridge in the river below.
Asanuma and Shinra got into a stance, ready to attack; the crow Yokai didn't bother by that. The crow Yokai approached the dam's edge toward them, causing the dam's structure to shake and shatter the bridge railings. The crow Yokai slashed its gigantic right wing towards Asanuma; Asanuma then held it down using his two front legs that resembled human hands and made a loud impact that caused a wind blast and spark, shaking and shattering the ground around Asanuma. On the other hand, Shinra pounced and bumped at the crow Yokai hard and made it wobble. Shinra continued climbing the crow Yokai's nape, gripping and holding it tightly, causing the crow Yokai's head movements to be heavy and slow.
The crow Yokai tried to escape Shinra, but Asanuma hit him hard from the front, making him wobble even more. Asanuma immediately climbed onto the crow Yokai's nape. That made the crow Yokai's head even heavier. The crow Yokai who had previously been unsteady and had difficulty standing on this dam finally fell forward. The crow Yokai's bellow beak slammed against the dam and collapsed part of the bridge over the dam's water tunnel, causing one of the waterfalls to be blocked by the ruin of the collapsed bridge. The building behind the dam also increasingly cracked.
On the other hand, Fujiyama looked seriously at the fighting Yokais in front of him while parrying the wind generated by the fall of Kozagawa's gigantic body. Fujiyama's attention was drawn to the centipede Yokai, still unconscious in the river below. Fujiyama looked at Yukari, who was standing nearby.
“I will seek help, hold on Yukari.”
Yukari turned to her father. Before Yukari could answer, Fujiyama was already running away.
Fujiyama jumped over the handrail at the dam's edge here and then skated on the sloping side of the dam while slowing his movement using the tip of the spear’s blade he had scratched on the sloping surface of the dam. Fujiyama reached the promenade at the bottom of the front of the dam and slung his spear over the sling on his back. Fujiyama plunged into the shallow river before him, with its water height up to his chest.
Fujiyama swam towards the fainted centipede Yokai and climbed onto one of the ruined bridges before the centipede Yokai's head. Fujiyama picked up his spear Yokai weapon and entered a stance. Fujiyama concentrated, then threw his right hand towards the right and his left hand towards the left. Eight soul chains burst out from his two forearms, four from his right forearm, and another four chains from his left forearms.
Fujiyama moved his soul chains towards the centipede Yokai before him, and soon six soul chains quickly wrapped around the centipede Yokai's head, and two soul chains wrapped around his spear Yokai weapon. Fujiyama stomped the lower end of his spear to the ruin's surface; simultaneously, a powerful wind energy wave appeared and spread out momentarily. Fujiyama’s white soul energy flowed swiftly through his soul chains towards the centipede Yokai. Moments later, the centipede Yokai jolted awake like he had been given a cardiac shock device. The centipede Yokai immediately took an upright position, and the ruins of the bridge that had fallen on it tumbled towards the surrounding river and caused a high splash of water. Fujiyama released his soul chains from the centipede Yokai.
It took a few moments for the Centipede Yokai to fully wake up with a slightly unsteady body and then be able to stand stably again. The centipede Yokai immediately recognized the person standing in front of him.
“Dammit, what the hell are you doing!”
Fujiyama looked surprised
"You say as if you don't remember what happened?"
The centipede Yokai immediately recalled that he fainted because a suspension bridge crushed him.
"Damn, I was crushed by a suspension bridge and fainted, this must be the work of the intruders."
The centipede Yokai said while looking around, trying to find the whereabouts of the intruders he meant. Fujiyama immediately realized who the centipede Yokai was referring to but didn't tell him.
"Putting that aside, I need your help Yuma."
The centipede Yokai whose name is Yuma looked at Fujiyama with a surprised look.
“What are you doing here anyway?”
Before Fujiyama could answer, a loud bang was coming from the dam's direction, drawing their attention toward it. Above the dam Shinra had just been thrown, he crashed into one of the warehouse buildings and destroyed it. Asanuma stood before the crow Yokai Kozagawa, preparing to launch an attack. Asanuma dashed towards Kozagawa to attack him.
