Inside Shima Town, the townsfolk didn't even know what had happened. While they were under the influence of the Grass Head Eight Declining Gods, they indeed felt a sense of something.
But they lacked the ability to see clearly how everything occurred. They could only vaguely sense that the Divine General riding the stone horse moved through the town like a true deity, wielding his divine weapon.
One after another, the plague ghosts, causing trouble, wailed in despair under his blade, unable to resist, and had their heads chopped off.
With each one killed, the pressure above their heads lightened a bit, and by the time all eight ghosts were dead, their spirits had lifted.
Cheers almost spilled out from within the town.
