Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 947

Isn't this the red spider lily?

Kyosuke Kosaka was surprised that she was willing to come, as he had previously emphasized that she didn't need to come.

I was surprised that the red spider lily still came; I was actually a little touched.

Oops.

This is PUA!

It's definitely PUA!

"With the powerful artifact in his hand and his unwavering determination, he is capable of dominating most areas of the world."

Kousaka Kyosuke replied casually.

The spider lily that had come over laughed and said, "So, you're just missing a good weapon?"

"That's not what I meant. The knife I have is enough."

Kousaka Kyousuke shook his head.

What's the point of having a magical artifact? A magical artifact represents trouble.

In addition, he has his own power, unlike Seimei who is a lone wolf, so if he really possesses a divine weapon, it will only make people wary.

Even troubles like rumors and gossip are absolutely inevitable.

After all, Ōtakemaru has already proven with facts just how powerful he is after being empowered by the divine weapon.

Will I end up becoming the second "Ōtakemaru"?

Whenever someone mentions it like that, he feels he has to consider the issue of Run.

So, it's best not to do anything reckless.

"I can also try to transform that sword into a weapon," Higanbana said with a smile, looking at Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who was wielding a mysterious blade and fighting against Ōtakemaru. Her tone was ambiguous.

Kyosuke Kosaka asked with a strange expression, "Are you planning to turn into a flower and use it as my weapon?"

"That's a good idea."

"Then let's not. The image of hitting someone with flowers is too beautiful for me to accept."

"Ha ha……"

The red spider lily covered its mouth and chuckled softly.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out from the sky: "Everyone, please lend me a hand..."

Kousaka Kyosuke silently condensed a crimson flame and flung it into the air.

Kagura beside her shot most of her spiritual power into the air.

The red spider lilies laughed incessantly, and with a raised hand, they gently tossed out a vibrant red flower...

Their targets were all Seimei, who was suspended in the air.

"Gather everyone's strength!" Minamoto no Hiromasa shouted, shooting an arrow at the magic circle floating above Seimei's head.

"Mr. Seimei."

"Lord Seimei, I entrust everything to you!"

"Giving you my demonic power is not a waste."

"Behold my Crimson Lotus Flame!"

"Let everyone witness your genius as an Onmyoji..."

One by one, the outstanding Onmyoji and great demons passed on their power to Seimei.

Looking at Seimei being protected by Shiro and Tamamo-no-Mae, Kousaka Kyosuke thought that the protagonist was really cool.

Even so, he still didn't want to take the job.

The pressure of this position is immense.

Seimei, suspended in the sky, said in a clear voice:

"Cleanse away impurities, wash away the uncleanliness, so be it!"

"Come!"

Suppressed by others, Ōtakemaru gritted his teeth and activated the power of the Yasakani no Magatama. All the demonic power in his body erupted, sword light like a waterfall, and air currents surged and exploded!

Rumbling--

The city walls and the earth collapsed and shattered, and the area centered on Seimei and Ōtakemaru was like a curtain pressing down in all directions, cutting everything off from the outside.

Click click click click~

The world suddenly became chaotic, and objects the size of stacked pieces of paper appeared, revealing the true nature of the surroundings as if a piece of paper had been punctured.

"This is bad..."

Kousaka Kyosuke squinted as he watched the Kyoto Onmyoji work together to set up a barrier to block the aftershocks of the attack, muttering to himself.

The barrier of the Cloud Mirror was eventually broken.

Next, the battlefield officially became Kyoto itself.

If one is not careful, the aftermath of the attack could reach the palace, or even one's own residence.

Although Kyosuke Kousaka wouldn't underestimate the ability of the Kyoto Onmyoji to work together to set up a defensive barrier, Ootakemaru, who is always ready to sacrifice himself, is no less formidable.

The "one for all" approach, a mutually assured destruction method, is enough to make people wary.

It seems it's time to show off some of my verbal skills.

Even if your verbal skills are really mediocre, you should still give it a try in order to avoid the worst possible outcome.

“The mirror has been broken; I can no longer trap Ōtakemaru.”

"That's enough. Thank you for creating the best opportunity for us to fight back."

Yaobikuni said to Yunwaijing beside her.

Yunwaijing simply nodded.

Then, Yaobikuni turned her gaze to the arena, where the center of the battle between Ōtakemaru and Seimei was a scene of devastation, forming a huge crater.

"A barrier... I see."

Ootakemaru, looking slightly disheveled, chuckled.

Sensing that he had no further connection with the five locations where the blood sacrifice had taken place, he immediately understood the cause and effect.

"Your blood sacrifice array has been removed by a coalition of forces. Any further thoughts you may have are superfluous..."

Seimei spoke to Ōtakemaru, his words clearly implying a desire for surrender.

Ōtakemaru said calmly, "It's not time to lose yet. This war concerns the people and future generations of Suzuka Mountain. They came here prepared to lose their lives, and so am I."

“As expected…” Seimei seemed to have anticipated this, “Your goal is to use the power of Kyoto to purify Mount Suzuka.”

"Yes, Suzuka Mountain is no longer a place we can live. Even if it means death, I will never back down..."

Ōtakemaru finally revealed the reason.

After they finished speaking, the other people and monsters around them who had overheard their conversation all had different expressions.

However, the majority of those who are angry are still the majority.

After all, the Suzuka group caused a lot of trouble for everyone, and it's not something that can be forgiven so easily.

"This is not a reason to attack Kyoto."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu smiled.

The samurai sword in his hand gleamed with a chilling light and hummed as if in agreement.

Not to mention the other humans and yokai who were harmed by Suzuka Mountain.

Although Princess Goldfish's expression was complicated, her gaze toward Ōtakemaru was still full of hostility.

She could not forgive Ōtakemaru for killing Arakawa no Nushi.

The same principle applies.

Many people in the same situation as Princess Goldfish could not forgive Ōtakemaru for leading the demons of Suzuka Mountain in a massacre.

“Surrender…” Ōtakemaru looked up at the sky, but the next moment, the Yasakani no Magatama in his hand projected a channel that led straight to the center of Kyoto.

He transformed into a beam of light and flew away along the passage.

Everyone was caught off guard, or rather, no one expected Ōtakemaru to suddenly make this move.

"—He has other ideas!"

Seimei quickly headed to the center of the blood sacrifice array, at the location of the five main streets of Kyoto.

Other humans and yokai followed suit in the same manner towards Ōtakemaru.

However, there was one person whose speed was not much slower than that of Ōtakemaru.

That's right, it was Kyosuke Kousaka.

Knowing that Ōtakemaru would definitely not give up, he had made various preparations long ago.
