"Besides the thick evil energy, I also sense Naraku's presence from the previous castle. This must be Naraku's arrangement."
Kikyo ignored Kagome's embarrassment, carefully sensed the surroundings, and spoke.

"Yeah, that guy is already here, waiting nearby. We'll make our move once his body recovers." Retsu nodded in response to Kikyo's words.
The conversation between the two left Kagome and Sango confused, not understanding what they intended to do. Just as they were about to ask, a violent roar of battle suddenly came from ahead, mixed with Inuyasha's angry growl.
Kagome and Sango instantly looked up to see Monk Miroku sitting slumped by the cave entrance at the end of the tunnel, his face pale. He was clearly unable to move, corroded by the surrounding evil energy.
"Monk Miroku!" Kagome and Sango immediately called out Miroku's name.
Miroku was startled to hear their voices and immediately turned around. Seeing Kagome, Sango, and Shippō, he hurriedly cried out, "Why are you here?"
Remembering the thick evil energy around them, he shouted urgently, "The evil energy here is too strong, leave quickly!"
"Monk Miroku, are you alright? Where's Inuyasha?" Kagome, completely unaffected by the evil energy, ran quickly to his side, her voice urgent.
"Kagome? Why are you here? It's dangerous! Get out of here!" Inuyasha heard Kagome's voice and turned to see her standing at the cave entrance, shouting loudly.
The moment Inuyasha turned his head, the demon opposite him seized the opening, striking him with a claw and slamming him heavily to the ground.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried out in alarm.
Inuyasha scrambled up from the ground, raised the tessaiga with a fierce look in his eyes, and charged at the hideous demon again. The clash of blade and claw erupted in a piercing metallic roar.
At this time, Kikyo and Retsu also walked over with Sango, Shippō, and Kirara.
Everyone leaned over to look, only to find that the end of this cave was actually a hollow space inside the mountain, shaped like a volcanic crater, not too high from the ground below.
The circular opening above was pouring down cold moonlight, illuminating the tragic scene below.
In the center of the ground, a blood pool formed from the severed limbs and blood of countless demons glowed with an eerie bloody light.
Inuyasha was fighting that giant demon, which emitted a foul-smelling evil energy, in the blood pool. Every collision caused waves of blood several meters high to splash from the pool.
"Monk Miroku, how are you?" Sango asked worriedly, supporting the pale Miroku.
"I'm fine... Sango, why are you here..." Miroku panted, his gaze sweeping over everyone and finally landing on Kikyo, his eyes full of surprise.
Just then, seeing the demons in the blood pool, Shippō and Kirara suddenly jumped down as if drawn by some evil force.
"Shippō, Kirara, no!" Sango and Miroku reacted quickly, grabbing them at the same time.
"Be careful, The Art of Kodoku has been cast on this cave." Miroku explained to the others as he stuffed the Shippō he was holding into Kagome's arms. "The demons will fight, devour, and fuse with each other in the blood pool."
As he spoke, he looked at Inuyasha fighting the demon and said, "We must stop Inuyasha quickly. If he continues like this, he will also be corroded by the evil energy and eventually merge with these demons!"
