Episode Title:
Onmyou.
Episode Description:
In the Heian period of Japan, Horrors appear in the evening at the reconstruction site of the Rajou Gate and consume the workers. Seimei, a Makai Alchemist appears, supported by the Golden Makai Knight who destroys them. Kintou reports the incident to Fujiwara no Michinaga, head of the Heian-kyō guard, who seems unconcerned as his Light Palace is protected by the book of magic, Onmyouryo. As Seimei visits a temple, the carver Junkei arrives to insert a bodhisattava carving of Buddha into a large Nio statue to quell its anger and stop it walking at night. Seimei correctly states that the statue is not imbued with life, which angers the sculptor. That night, Raikou and his attendant Kintoki investigate and find the statue gone. Meanwhile, the sculptor kills a woman to enhance the power of his carved figure, and then encounters the Nio statue who turns him into a Horror. Raikou finds the scene of Junkei's sacrifices and tells Seimei who decides to act as bait. She traps Junkei and Raikou destroys the Horror, only to find the Nio statue is inhabited by a man with a scarred face.
