As a youkai, Goki was actually qualified, because he was quite loyal to his desires.
He loved the souls of humans, especially the souls of children.
And the power of the dark treasure Orb of Baast was the most useful to him, allowing him to store a large number of children's souls inside to enjoy at any time.
But today, he had just gotten a prey, and had then welcomed misfortune.
Drake had followed that stench directly to find him, and had broken Goki's limbs without saying anything further.
Goki wasn't like Kurama and Hiei, and was a veritable low-level youkai, his monstrous strength was only good for dealing with Yusuke Urameshi, who had just awakened his spirit power, and he was as weak as an ant before Drake.
Drake had tossed up a strange sphere, catching it again, and that was precisely one of the three great dark treasures, the Orb of Baast.
As expected, it wasn't any high-grade goods, and Drake could make a magic tool with the same function without any difference.
And as expected, the several cases of children in the vicinity inexplicably falling unconscious recently had all been because their souls had been extracted by Goki, and those souls were all being preserved in the Orb of Baast now.
Drake had fiddled with it a bit, and had understood how to use it, and he could find Yusuke Urameshi later to have him send those souls back to their original owners.
As for Goki, who was still wailing, Drake had casually thrown out a ball of flames, burning him to ashes.
After putting away the Orb of Baast, Drake had opened his mouth, saying, "Have you seen enough!"
Behind a large tree in the distance, Hiei had quickly retracted his head, and had calmed his rapidly beating heart.
'Damn it, how can there be such a powerful guy in the human world!'
Hiei couldn't help but have the same thoughts as Little King Yama in his heart. The difference was that as a Jagan Master, Hiei's feeling was even more direct.
Under his observation, Drake's entire person seemed to have transformed into a giant dragon with wings on its back, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
And when Drake had spoken, that giant dragon had also turned its head, looking at him.
Hiei had complained a bit, but had suddenly discovered that the shadow that Drake had left on the ground was gone.
His pupils had shrunk, and Hiei had darted out instinctively, but that nightmarish voice had rung out behind his ears.
"Not bad, you're quite fast!"
Hiei had stopped in his tracks, quickly swinging the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand, slashing towards behind him, but this slash had slashed nothing, and there had been nothing at all behind him.
But Drake's voice had rung out in his mind again.
"Unfortunately, not fast enough!"
Hiei had instinctively swung his sword again, slashing over, but he had stopped halfway, because his wrist had been grabbed tightly by someone.
After this series of actions, Hiei had also calmed down.
He himself was a youkai who was known for his speed, and what he was best at was resolving battles in situations where his opponents couldn't even see his movements clearly.
But Drake had moved behind him twice without him noticing, which meant that he had already lost in terms of speed.
Not making any rash moves, Hiei had turned his head, looking at Drake.
The Jagan Eye that had been covered by the headband wrapped around his forehead had been closed, he couldn't look directly at Drake with the Jagan Eye open.
"Just what are you?"
You could say that he was worthy of being a member of the protagonist group, his mental qualities could be said to be quite good.
Drake had always been interested in Hiei, on one hand, it was because Hiei was the person who had started the "edgy" trend in his childhood, and it was inevitable that he had some special feelings.
On the other hand, Drake was also very interested in his current state.
The Yuki-Onna tribe of the Land of Glaciers propagated through self-division, and if they married an outsider, they would give birth to boys who would only inherit the characteristics of the father and would be violent by nature, and they would die immediately after giving birth.
But Hiei and Yukina were the only exceptions, and his younger sister Yukina had a pure Yuki-Onna bloodline, but Hiei had been wrapped in flames of youkai aura from birth, and possessed the ability to control the flames of the demon world.
Next was the classic plot of pushing the realization of a prophecy in order to prevent the prophecy from being realized.
The Yuki-Onna Elder had prophesied that Hiei would bring disaster to the Land of Glaciers, so she had wanted to execute him, but she hadn't known that this had instead made Hiei begin to hate the Yuki-Onna tribe.
As for the story of how Hiei had discovered that the Yuki-Onna tribe's own fear of disaster was the disaster itself after returning to the Land of Glaciers again later on, and had then given up on revenge, that was another story.
In order to find the Ice Tear Stone that his lost mother had left behind and his lost younger sister, Hiei had transplanted the Jagan Eye. But the price was that Hiei's youkai power had been sealed by the Jagan Eye on his forehead.
That feeling was like the Clairvoyance that Ryudo Ryuya had in the last world, but Hiei's Jagan Eye clearly didn't have as much power as Clairvoyance.
After all, the Jagan Eye hadn't completely crippled Hiei, and although Hiei's youkai power had been reset to zero after transplanting the Jagan Eye, he could at least gradually recover his power.
Drake hadn't answered Hiei's question, but had instead opened his mouth, saying, "The techniques of the demon world's plastic surgeons really have something to them, they're worth studying!"
What Drake had taken a liking to wasn't the Jagan Eye's ability of course, after all, it had been broken through by Kurama with a blood-covered rose, it would really be a bit unfair to Hiei's original body of A rank youkai power.
What Drake was interested in was Shigure's technique of transplanting the Jagan Eye.
That wasn't simply transplanting an organ, but was instead transplanting an ability into the bloodline of the recipient.
After truly observing a sample, Drake couldn't help but develop an interest in this kind of technique, it seemed that there were things worth seeing no matter which world it was.
Hiei didn't know Drake's thoughts, but Drake's behavior of talking to himself had really made him angry.
So he had released the hand that had been gripping the sword, and after twisting his body, he had used his left hand, which hadn't been grabbed by Drake, to grab the falling katana, and had then slashed towards Drake without hesitating.
Drake hadn't cared about the blade that had been slashing over, but had instead swung the arm that he had been gripping Hiei with, slamming him heavily on the ground.
Drake had been merciful when taking action against his childhood idol, but this had still not only disrupted Hiei's movements, but had even almost knocked him out.
But Hiei's qualities were still there, and he had endured the severe pain, retreating.
Without any hesitation, Hiei had directly chosen to unleash his highest speed and begin to run away.
Although he had wanted the Orb of Baast in Drake's hands, he also understood that if he continued to entangle, he would only put himself in danger as well.
Drake hadn't pursued, but had instead lowered his head, looking at beneath his feet. There, several thin vines had drilled out from the ground, wrapping around his calves.
Vines whose strength was comparable to steel, thinking about it, the human world shouldn't have this kind of thing, and it wouldn't have been so coincidental for them to have grown out from under his feet.
Drake had raised an eyebrow, and after a line of fire had circled around his calves a few times, those vines had all turned into ashes.
Then Drake had opened his mouth, saying, "You're quite courageous, you've actually stayed here and haven't run away!"
A scarlet figure had appeared before Drake, it was a red-haired youth wearing practice clothes.
It was precisely Yoko Kurama, the great thief who had once gathered a group in the demon world.
"Because I can't run away if you want to chase me!"
Kurama had looked at Drake straightforwardly, opening his mouth, saying, "And I also didn't sense any killing intent from you!"
Drake had said approvingly, "Not bad observation, worthy of being Yoko Kurama!"
Kurama had revealed a bitter smile, saying, "I imagine those titles wouldn't be of any use to you!
Could I ask you to give me three more days, I will definitely return the Dark Mirror after three days, and will also go with you to accept the spirit world's punishment!"
Drake had revealed a surprised expression, Kurama wouldn't have seen him defeat Goki and recover the Orb of Baast, and had then thought that he was someone who had been sent out by the spirit world, had he!
Stepping forward, patting Kurama's shoulder, Drake had opened his mouth, saying, "Rest assured, I didn't come to catch you, and I don't have any relationship with the spirit world either. I resolved Goki purely because this guy deserved to die!"
Kurama had looked at Drake with surprise, his thoughts before this had indeed been the same as what Drake had guessed, and he had already been prepared to desperately run away. He hadn't expected that Drake wouldn't have any intention of making things difficult for him.
Drake, looking at Kurama, couldn't help but sigh, if it had been Kurama when he had still been Yoko Kurama, he would definitely have left Hiei to die.
Was it because Kurama had been moved by his mother in this life, or was it because he had fused with a human soul that had made him possess emotions?
As expected of a member of the protagonist group, they each had some special experiences!
