Blue Exorcist, Vol. 34

Rin and his exorcist classmates are caught in a secret war against the forces of darkness.

Raised by Father Fujimoto, a famous exorcist, Rin Okumura never knew his real father. One day a fateful argument with Father Fujimoto forces Rin to face a terrible truth—the blood of the demon lord Satan runs in Rin’s veins! Rin swears to defeat Satan, but doing that means entering the mysterious True Cross Academy and becoming an exorcist himself.

Renzo and Homare’s relationship goes back to middle school, when Homare first tried to get Renzo to join the Illuminati. Though she was the one who taught him how to use the Black Flame, Renzo now deploys it against her as they battle near Satan’s fortress. Elsewhere in the maze, Rin and Shiemi finish their heart-to-heart talk and must move on. The various teams are getting closer to the bridges at the center of Satan’s territory, and the puzzles and traps are becoming more confusing and deadly. Then they see a young child in the maze who resembles...Father Fujimoto?
