Summoning: Hyakki Yagyō

The Hyakki Yagyō (百鬼夜行) are nine monstrous creatures created by Onryō Oni through the usage of his. Despite being officially classified as summons, Onryō refers to them as entities from the deepest parts of Hell. Five of these creatures are described as divine beasts (神獣, shinjū), while the other four are referred to as divine priests (神官, shinkan).

Onryō summons them without the need to utilize his own blood as a sacrifice and instead, Onryō simply slams his hands on the ground, causing a large sealing mark to emerge, and all nine Hyakki Yagyō creatures emerge from the seal's pattern.

Trivia

 * The name "Hyakki Yagyō" is based from an idiom in Japanese folklore. Sometimes an orderly procession, other times a riot, it refers to an uncontrolled horde of countless numbers of supernatural creatures known as oni and yōkai. As a terrifying eruption of the supernatural world into our own, it is similar (though not precisely equivalent) to the concept of pandemonium in English.
