Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Now that the decision is on your own, don't delay, get everyone to a safe place first!

After thinking it over, Kyosuke Kosaka telepathically greeted the others and then teleported to the other side.

"Su Yi, it's time to leave."

"Yes!"

Kousaka Kyosuke, dressed in plain clothes, responded swiftly, as if waiting for her.

As he spoke, Kyosuke Kosaka casually put his arm around her and quickly led her outside to give her instructions.

Previously, the manor staff, including the monsters, who were the audience of the prayer dance, and the aquatic creatures from the Arakawa River, were all gathered together and sent into the small world.

Then came all sorts of household items, as well as land, spiritual veins, and the like... Because there was a high chance that this place would be destroyed, Kyosuke Kosaka forcibly "scraped" a piece of land here and transferred it to the small world in advance.

In this way, people temporarily residing in the small world can still cultivate the land.

Otherwise, if the food runs out day by day, it would be very disheartening.

"Mr. Kyosuke, you must come back!"

Princess Goldfish, who leads the aquatic tribe, finally couldn't help but speak to Kyosuke Kousaka. She is now the "second" Lord of Arakawa, while the first Lord of Arakawa continued to stay on the outskirts of the manor to help out.

Kousaka Kyosuke, having finished moving everything and preparing to leave, smiled and said to Princess Goldfish with certainty:

"Don't worry, I'll beat the Yamata no Orochi to a pulp!"

"……Well."

Princess Goldfish nodded, then shook her head, opening her mouth as if to say something.

Kyosuke Kosaka reached out and ruffled her long, sea-blue hair. Without saying a word, he left.

He could already sense that the Yamata no Orochi's aura was even stronger than before, and now the more important thing was to deal with the Yamata no Orochi!

508. Bewitching/The Methods of Yamata no Orochi/Reinforcements

Quickly moving to the stage in the center of the manor, Kyosuke Kousaka saw many snake demons along the way.

The snake demon eventually broke through the manor's barrier and arrived around the stage.

Kyosuke Kosaka used his senses to investigate and learned that the guards outside were already overwhelmed with their own problems, which did not surprise him.

The snake demons vary in strength.

The strongest of these snake demons are so powerful that even gods would struggle against them, let alone these snake demons who can overwhelm the enemy with sheer numbers and are impossible to exterminate.

“Yaobikuni, drive the power of the barrier underground—Kyosuke, help extend the boundary of the barrier even further underground.”

When Seimei, who was directing everyone in the battle, saw Kousaka Kyosuke coming over, he immediately began to give instructions.

"Okay." Kyosuke Kousaka replied briefly, already casting a spell.

He had only been gone for a short while when countless snake demon corpses lay outside the stage.

Human corpses weren't absent, but they were quickly moved aside by designated personnel to prevent them from becoming even stronger and more troublesome after being devoured by the snake demon.

These are not the point.

The key point is that the venomous blood flowing from the serpent demon has invaded the soil. It seems that the Yamata no Orochi is trying to break through the stage's barrier from underground, affecting the continuation of the prayer dance ritual.

Indeed, Amaterasu's revival was not what Yamata no Orochi desired.

This god-king is very powerful, but he is slightly inferior to Susanoo, the god of war, in terms of combat.

"The real reason why Yamata no Orochi didn't want Amaterasu to awaken was that he wanted the body of this god-king as a vessel for Izanami's resurrection."

Suddenly, Kyosuke Kosaka sensed something was amiss and instinctively looked towards the stage.

On the stage, many ferocious venomous snakes were seen flowing.

"Illusion..."

Kyosuke Kousaka couldn't help but glance at Honoka, Umi Sonoda, Nozomi Tojo, and the others who were ordinary people, and found that they were dancing intently among the snakes as if they were unaffected.

Swish~

A colorful tail feather swept across the area as if by accident, and countless snakes vanished without a trace—it was the Peacock King dispelling the illusion.

Upon seeing this, Kyosuke Kosaka finally realized what was happening. In an instant, as if he had gained some insight, he continued to strengthen the underground barrier with one hand while raising the other.

The moment it was raised, streaks of golden lightning descended from the sky, like thousands of golden dragons winding down and circling around the stage.

Leave the illusion problem to me.

Kousaka Kyosuke transmitted his voice to Seimei, Ara, and the others.

It must be said that Orochi's schemes were quite unique.

Since they can't break through from the outside for the time being, they'll try to dismantle it from the inside. They probably want to panic the more timid girls and disrupt their prayers.

On the other hand, the defensive power of this spell that I inadvertently comprehended probably wouldn't withstand a single attack from Orochi. Its greatest use is to prevent Orochi from continuing to interfere with the dancers.

It feels more like a skill with impressive special effects but lacking in other aspects.

In fact, he could use practical defensive spells against opponents whose strength was not much different from that of Kyosuke Kousaka, but unfortunately, Orochi was much stronger than him.

Even if they were qualified to fight back, it would be a stretch.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who quickly sensed something, looked up at the sky and heard a gasp in his ear.

"The Great Serpent God? Wasn't he killed?"

Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at the woman dressed entirely in pink, the Goddess of Marriage, and wanted to make a sarcastic remark.

"As long as Orochi is alive, his Orochi God can be resurrected no matter how many times he dies."

He had analyzed the Great Serpent God in detail many times.

Finally, it was definitively confirmed that it was a monster formed by the fusion of the power of Yamata no Orochi's own divine nature and the accumulated sins of the human world!

As soon as the masked, seemingly connecting heaven and earth giant white serpent appeared, the serpent demons gradually lost their frenzied aggression, and many of those who recovered had time to stop fighting and get a moment of rest.

"This scene looks familiar."

"The nun Yaobikuni sighed softly."

The God of Fate, who had already come to her side to protect her, spoke with a complicated expression.

"It's very similar to the trial that was held back then."

But why did the battle take place here this time?!

The God of Fate was unusually aroused by a strong sense of anger.

The Mizubushi Manor is arguably the most comfortable place for Enmusubi to stay, and a paradise she would want to stay in forever.

Not to mention that many of the people living here are her followers.

As a result, the believers' homes were destroyed.

As the god of the believers, how could I not avenge them severely?

At this point, Enmusubi no longer harbored any wishful thinking about shifting the battlefield.

The mere sight of this indestructible, ever-resurrecting serpent god made her realize that nothing else mattered; simply being able to carry out the ritual smoothly would be a great achievement.

"Aren't you going to show up yet?"

Kyosuke Kosaka finally spoke up.

The Great Serpent God has already appeared, so what's the point of the creator hiding his identity?

"Since you all have made such a grand welcome to me, I should certainly make special preparations."

As soon as Kousaka Kyosuke finished speaking, a figure descended upon the head of the Great Serpent God.

That person was none other than Yamata no Orochi.

The hazy, indistinct aura finally became clear, and at this moment, Kyosuke Kousaka also sensed the state of Orochi.

perfect.

powerful.

This is probably what the first impression one gives is like.

"It's definitely different from before, much stronger. It probably did receive Izanami's help; not only did it heal the backlash from devouring the evil god, but its own power was also enhanced..."

This was not unexpected, and Kousaka Kyosuke's mood did not change much as a result.

He simply held the demonic sword firmly in his hand, ready to strike the Yamata no Orochi at any moment.

Against such a formidable enemy, it would be impossible to survive without a sneak attack. Of course, Kousaka Kyosuke might also encounter situations where "you deliberately create openings so you can deliver a devastating blow."

However, Kyosuke Kosaka has a lot of comrades supporting him, so even if they are counterattacked, he should still be able to survive.

As for a fair and square battle?

Kyosuke Kosaka has no such plans for the time being; it would be better to delay until Amaterasu is fully awakened and the situation changes.

"Yamata no Orochi."

Thunder roared in the sky as a fierce bolt of lightning struck directly at the Yamata no Orochi atop the Orochi God.

The Yamata no Orochi couldn't help but smile, and a snake demon appeared in its hand, transforming into a small short sword that collided head-on with the thunderbolt.
