Ep 17. Byakko's Lair

As Yusuke and his group continue their mission to rescue Yukina, they find themselves facing their next challenge: Byakko, one of the four Saint Beasts, who holds Yukina captive in his lair.

Upon arriving at Byakko's lair, the group must first navigate through a maze filled with deadly traps and illusions. Hiei, who has a personal connection to Yukina, is particularly determined to see this mission through to the end.

Eventually, the group makes it to Byakko's inner sanctum, where they engage in a difficult battle with the powerful beast. Byakko proves to be a formidable opponent, using his powerful illusions to confuse and disorient his attackers.

Despite the odds, Yusuke and his friends refuse to back down and eventually find a way to overcome Byakko's tricks. With some clever tactics and teamwork, they manage to defeat Byakko and free Yukina from his clutches.

However, their victory comes with a cost. Byakko's defeat triggers a powerful explosion that leaves Yusuke and his friends stranded in the heart of his lair, with little hope of escape.

As the episode concludes, the group must find a way out of Byakko's lair before it's too late. Will they be able to overcome this final obstacle and rescue Yukina once and for all? Only time will tell.
