Makoto's expression turned serious.

“What do you mean King’s Restraint?”

Fujiyama looked at Makoto and appeared a bit surprised.

"It's exactly as you heard, King's Restraint was a Yokai controller technique to force...”

Makoto interrupted Fujiyama's words

“I know what King's Restraint is. How can you mastered it?”

Shu’s expression turned serious and he nodded.

“That's right Fujiyama, the only person I know in history who could use King's Restraint was….”

Fujiyama interrupted Shu's words.

“Monk Ren right? Yes, I know. but compared to him, my King's Restraint ability is nothing.”

Makoto and Shu immediately recalled how suddenly Fujiyama was able to control Yuma. Makoto’s expression turned astonished.

“Nothing you say? Kings's Restraint technique was only recorded in the history books of Yokai controllers with witnesses seeing the monk Ren perform it, making the technique just like a legend. No, maybe even just like a fairy tail...”

Something appeared to bother Fujiyama.

“I'll explain about it later when all this is over."

Makoto was surprised; he then nodded. That also made the others curious. Fujiyama turned to Shinra and Asanuma.

"Okay, I need you two help."

Shinra's expression was deadpan.

“Of course, we have the same enemy.”

Asanuma's expression is also deadpan.

“No problem for me.”

From behind his mask, Fujiyama smiled. Shu, Ken, Yukari also smiled. On the other hand, the crow Yokai Kozagawa watched them in astonishment.

“You all work well together. Too bad that we can't, right Fujiyama?"

Behind his mask, Fujiyama's expression turned serious. Kozagawa looked back at Shinra and Asanuma.

“Unlike you two, nothing shackles me.”

Kozagawa spread his wings to the right and left, making his size appear larger. Kozagwa’s body size is even enough to block the sunlight from shining on the area around the dam.

Asanuma and Shinra didn't flinch and got into stances, ready to attack. Black smoke billowed from all over Asanuma’s and Shinra’s bodies; they reappeared from behind the black smoke with their body size increasing, the height of their shoulders five meters from the ground. On the other hand, Kozagawa decided to attack first. Kozagawa moved toward them swiftly while using his two gigantic wings as support to balance his body while moving, then slashed his right wing strongly toward them. The grayish-black smoke enveloped this entire wing, burned by blazing black flames. Before long, Kozagawa’s right wing hit something hard, and its movement stopped instantly.

The grayish-black smoke on Kozagawa's right wing blew forward when the right wing movement stopped. Soon this grayish-black smoke was getting away, and from behind it was Shinra, who had collided with Kozagawa's right wing and stopped its movement. Black smoke from Shinra’s and Asanuma’s bodies billowed profusely and quickly got rid of Kozagawa's hot grayish-black smoke. Asanuma immediately added an attack by jumping out from the black smoke and pounced toward Kozagawa's head. Kozagawa, who was unprepared, took Asanuma’s attack head-on. Asanuma crashed Kozagawa's head with his body, resulting in a hard impact and sparks from their collided armor. Kozagawa was slightly off balance because of Asanuma’s attack.

Seeing Kozagawa off guard, Asanuma immediately climbed him by the nape and embraced it. But before Asanuma could attack, Kozagawa spread his wings, then flew up with a hard stomp that shattered the ground beneath him. Asanuma, still on Kozagawa's nape, was also taken up. Before flying too high, Asanuma immediately jumped down and landed hard enough but stable on the ground, crushing it.

Kozagawa flew high above them with his gigantic body. Kozagawa determined his point of attack then dived down at Shinra, about to grab him with the armored talons on both of his feets. When Kozagawa got close enough, Shinra could escape Kozagawa's grip by evading sideways, so Kozagawa just grabbed and shattered the ground. After his unsuccessful attack, Kozagawa immediately proceeded to fly away higher again.

Kozagawa flew high in the sky while determining the target of his next attack. Kozagawa aimed at Asanuma, then flew down towards him. Kozagawa's armored talons on both feets opened and pointed forward, ready to grab. Seeing Kozagawa flying towards him, Asanuma ran away. When Kozagawa was close enough to him, Asanuma dodged sideways and succeeded, causing Kozagawa's attack to just grab and shatter the ground. Kozagawa flew away higher again and circled the area around the dam, and oversaw it from the sky, with Asanuma, Shinra, and the others as the center point. Shinra turned towards Asanuma.

“At this rate, we can't reach Kozagawa to attack him.”

Asanuma glanced at Shinra momentarily, then returned to watching the crow Yokai Kozagawa's movements in the sky. Asanuma's expression turned serious.

"You're right, unless we can fly, we have to change strategy."

Asanuma turned towards Fujiyama, who was quite far from him.

"Any ideas to attack him Fujiyama?"

Fujiyama replied.

"He's very agile in flight. If you want to defeat him, we have to take him down."

Asanuma's expression turned astonished.

“Take him down? How?"

Fujiyama thought silently for a moment while propping his chin with his left hand and watching Kozagawa's movements in the sky.

"I'm still figuring out how."

On the other hand, Kozagawa again flew down toward them. Asanuma’s expression turned serious.

“Whatever you are planning, you better hurry.”

Fujiyama looked around, then realized something.

“I have a plan, lure Kozagawa to the dam, but be careful you don't get hit by his attack.”

Shinra replied.

"Leave it to me."

Shinra ran towards the dam, but Kozagawa did not change the direction of his attack. Shinra appeared a little surprised by this.

“Damn, he doesn't care about me.”

Makoto replied.

“Crow Yokai only attacks where the majority of us are.”

Makoto looked at Ken, Yukari, and Shu.

"The four of us should also ran to the dam to lure him."

With slightly nervous expressions, Ken, Yukari, and Shu nodded. Makoto ran towards the dam after Shinra and the others, while Fujiyama and Asanuma remained where they were.

Kozagawa, who was flying around in the sky, his attention was then drawn to Makoto and the others who looked like they were about to escape through the dam. Kozagawa flew high to change the point of attack. After confirming that Kozagawa's attention was on Makoto and the others, Fujiyama threw his right hand to the right and burst out his four soul chains; he then used them for a springboard and landed on Asanuma's front back.

"Now we go to centipede Yokai, Asanuma"

Asanuma nodded.

"I understand"

Asanuma ran away from here while Fujiyama rode on Asanuma and let remain his soul chains around him stood up like a snake about to peck.

Fujiyama and Asanuma arrived near Yuma, who was lying unconscious. Fujiyama got off Asanuma's back and stood before Yuma's head. Fujiyama used his soul chains, where the four soul chains in his right hand then wrapped around Yuma's body. Fujiyama threw his left hand and burst out the other four soul chains from his left forearm, which he moved to entwine Asanuma's body. Seeing that surprised Asanuma a little, but he let it be because he was sure Fujiyama had a plan. Fujiyama said.

“Get ready to channel your countercurrent energy to me, I will turn it into a shockwave to Yuma. It will be like a cardiac shock device and awaken him.”

Fujiyama thought.

“I couldn't immediately awaken Yuma after using the soul chains prison that drained my energy. But if my soul energy is added with Asanuma's Yokai energy, it will be enough for me to be able to do it again.”

On the other hand, Asanuma looked confused

“Cardiac shock device? What's that?"

Fujiyama just realized that Asanuma might not know much about human-made technology.

"I'll explain another time, we'll do it now."

Asanuma nodded with a slightly astonished expression. Fujiyama concentrated and channeled his white soul energy into Asanuma.

Not long after, A red energy flowed into the soul chains on Asanuma's body, then flowed into Fujiyama's body. As soon as Fujiyama's body came into contact with Asanuma's Yokai energy, he was jolted awake and appeared in pain. But Fujiyama quickly caught it; he channeled this energy, which is now white, to Yuma, through his soul chains. Shortly after Yuma's body came into contact with Asanuma and Fujiyama's energy, Yuma woke up again with a jolt and shortness of breath. Yuma looked around him in confusement for a while, then looked at Fujiyama.

"Damn you! That just now hurts so bad!"

Yuma said in a raised voice and looked irritated. Fujiyama replied.

"Sorry to wake you up suddenly, but we need your help."

Yuma looked astonished.

"Help? What else now."
