"The Invisible Mountain Unveiled" Assemble

* TW/JP Servers: April 2 - April 5 2022
* GL Server: April 2 - April 5 2022

This event was the pre-release assembly event for the SSR shikigami Fukengaku. Over the course of three days, players could click on a red daruma in the summon page to receive six mystery amulets, and read a short story about Seimei and Shoyou's efforts to track down the elusive mountain god. Meanwhile, Okikumushi is besieged by ghosts while hearing a strange woman's voice...

* Day 1
* Day 2
* Day 3

Kohaku
Humph!
Kagura
You’re still mad at us, aren’t you, Kohaku?
Hiromasa
Come on, Kohaku, we didn’t find the mountain god.
Kohaku
I know you didn’t find him, but I missed all the fun! And that’s unforgivable!
Seimei
I’ve finished deciphering the patterns on the rocks.
Kohaku
What!? Let me see, Master Seimei!
Hiromasa
……
Kagura
Yep, he’s just mad at you, Brother.
*Hiromasa shakes his head helplessly, and sits next to Seimei. Everyone looks at the four rocks on the table in front of them.*

Seimei
These rocks may look ordinary, but they contain the purest force of the mountains. They could converge the memories of the mountains and, given time, attract more stones to create illusions of mountains.
Hiromasa
Are these rocks really connected to Fukengaku?
Seimei
I was thinking, why my magic circles took us to the other mountains. It seems that mountains have a similar way of remembering and attracting living beings.
Seimei
The rocks have a soul that contains the images of living beings. The mountain god can use this to create a realm and hide the mountain from the world, leaving no trace.
Yao Bikuni
Fumei, Fujin, Fuken are mountains on the same range. I assume you’re trying to put the rocks together and sense the presence of the mountain.
Seimei
Then I can create another magic circle to locate Fukengaku.
*A few days later, they set out on the path down Mt. Fujingaku. After arriving at a misty valley a few miles away, they lose their way. They turn around only to find the path completely obscured by mist.*

Hiromasa
We’re totally lost. This mountain god is very good at concealing himself…
Yao Bikuni
As far as I know… the mountain god of Mt. Fukengaku is not someone who would cut off a traveler’s path back.
Seimei
A mirage of sorts appears to be floating above the mountains. But when you go closer, it’s nothing but condensed mist. People call it a Mountain Screen, and that’s what we have here.
Kohaku
Wait! Master Hiromasa and Lady Kagura are gone! But we didn’t even move!
Seimei
Watch out. Something might be lurking in the mist.
*But Seimei doesn’t move, nor does Kohaku behind him. In that moment, a chilling demonic force attacks them from behind.*

*Seimei remains still. Just as he’s about to be hit by the demonic force, a strong and clear wind brushes by dissipating the surrounding mist to reveal the monster behind Seimei. It is a tall stone wall.*

*At the top of the elusive green hills still shrouded in the dense mists of the undulating Mountain Screen, a young man appears as the winds clear the mist.*

Seimei
The mountain god Fukengaku finally reveals himself.
Fukengaku
……
*The stone wall monster cracks. Tiny bits of stone roll down his body. Suddenly, he rushes at Seimei.*

Seimei
Let’s talk after I deal with the trouble at hand.
*► Battle*

*► Later*

Seimei
……
Hiromasa
Seimei! How come you’re here? There was a thick mist and you were all gone! What happened?
Seimei
Although he likes to stay hidden, he still offers help to travelers on the mountain who get harassed by monsters…
Kohaku
What are you talking about, Master Seimei? Did you see anything?
Seimei
I sensed Fukengaku’s presence earlier. I hope this mountain god will still be so kind the next time we see him.

Okikumushi
Urgh… what is this place…
Fukengaku
You’re back.
Okikumushi
Oh, it’s you, Lord Mountain God!
Okikumushi
It’s weird. Lately I’ve been hearing the voice of a mysterious woman. I follow her voice and always end up in strange places. So here I am… Lost again.
Fukengaku
Do the ancient books in my library have such magic… or are…
Okikumushi
Hey… it’s that voice again! It never stops…
*Irritated and in pain, Okikumushi clutches her head. Behind her, some strange ghostly souls crawl out from the rocks and reach out to grab her.*

Ghostly Soul
Argh!
Fukengaku
Just as I thought, my actions have unfortunately awakened the ghostly souls in the mountain. They would never have woken up otherwise.
Fukengaku
If this is the case, then I need to send you back to where you belong.
*► Battle*

*► Later*

Okikumushi
The ghostly souls have disappeared… Why did they try to attack me, Lord Mountain God?
*Fukengaku pauses for a moment.*

Fukengaku
Since it’s my fault… I shall introduce you to someone, but not right now. If you can see the ghostly souls of the mountain, you should be able to travel with her.

Worldly Aoandon
What? Why are you also looking for Fukengaku? I thought you two were close.
Bukkuman
Well, we’re close, yes… and since we’re both book lovers, we skipped the unnecessary niceties.
Worldly Aoandon
That’s why you didn’t ask where he lived?
Bukkuman
Stop mocking me… I’ve already come to you for help.
Bukkuman
We agreed to meet at the same place this time every year so he could buy rare copies of ancient books from me.
Bukkuman
And since he didn’t come at the time we agreed upon… I have to go and look for him on whichever mountain he is.
Worldly Aoandon
I’ll give you clues to Fukengaku’s whereabouts and you have to promise me you’ll tell me everything that happened in the mountains when you get back.
Bukkuman
I definitely will.
Worldly Aoandon
I was told a group of onmyoji are headed for the main peak along the mountains near Mt. Fujingaku. A strange commotion along the ley line was detected there not long ago.
Worldly Aoandon
With the abilities you have now, you should be able to find him easily.
Bukkuman
If the mountain won’t come to me, I shall go to him. I’ll see for myself if the stories in the book should be presented to this friend of mine.
