Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 859

However, when Kyosuke Kousaka saw that there were still countless sirens in the army, seemingly endless, he gritted his teeth and held on.

"Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals? Bullshit! Grit your teeth, hold on, and kill a large number of them first!"

Kyosuke Kousaka immediately made a decision.

You're using sheer numbers to overwhelm them, right?

Then he will completely suppress this advantage!

Subsequently.

On the field, a ball of flame relentlessly scorched vast swathes of the siren army; it was a scene far more intense than any battle between humans…

"Ahhhh-"

Ōtakemaru roared angrily, his demonic power resonating with the Yasakani no Magatama in his hand.

Finally, he blew Kousaka Kyosuke away to the side!

Call ~

Kyosuke Kosaka deftly dissipated the force with a backflip.

"Kyosuke-sama!"

Su Yi and Su Chang, who had been observing the situation, rushed over.

Kagura stood silently beside Kousaka Kyosuke, holding the umbrella tightly in her hand.

"nothing."

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled, completely unconcerned about the divine power corroding his body, and then looked at the rampaging demonic energy of Ootengu with a provocative expression: "Want to see fireworks again?"

213. Su Chang and Kagura's attack/guerrilla warfare/support from the Goddess of Fate

"Alright, then let's see if you can make any more fireworks for me!"

Ōtakemaru's angry expression vanished, and he suddenly burst into laughter.

Suddenly, he was pushed backward and landed on the ghost ship that was floating in the sky.

Many of the sirens who witnessed this scene retreated in unison.

Even at the risk of being attacked, they retreated.

While still quickly adjusting his condition, Kousaka Kyosuke shouted, "Defense!"

Finished.

One by one, the Onmyoji retreated quickly to construct a protective barrier.

Meanwhile, the warriors and water spirits, under the captain's instructions, quickly protected each Onmyoji.

"All troops, charge!!"

Without uttering a single word, Ōtakemaru's smile vanished, his expression and gaze becoming cold and devoid of any emotion.

Kousaka Kyosuke remained silent, fully aware that his opponent was indeed a formidable opponent.

Ootengu, who was able to control his emotions in such a short time, would probably not give him another chance.

If we were to fight again, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to catch him easily.

Rumble! !

The air was filled with a salty aroma, and surging waves rose high, like a giant curtain crashing down.

Those who exist beneath the waves can only see the darkness that never sees the sun.

"Kagura, dressed in plain clothes..."

Kyosuke Kosaka said quickly, then faced the towering waves.

Calling his wife by her name lets her know he is unwell and that he can be there to support her.

His condition was extremely poor.

However, in this situation, who is in a better state?

All he could do was use some of the power he had to withstand the waves to continue entangled with Ōtakemaru.

"Die!"

Ootakemaru, who was residing on the ghost ship, was filled with demonic power, and he swung the Yasakani no Magatama in his hand fiercely from a distance.

The surging waves of stone merged seamlessly with the overwhelming ocean waves and rushed towards Kyosuke Kousaka.

"..."

Kousaka Kyosuke remained silent, his long-suppressed violence and mania finally being unleashed.

The whole thing transformed into a ball of flame, which then turned into a giant Vermilion Bird, its claws slashing towards the slash that Ōtakemaru was unleashing.

snort~

A subtle sound of intense burning rang out, and countless substances instantly evaporated into wisps of smoke.

At least half of the towering waves evaporated in the blink of an eye...

"Die!"

Ōtakemaru, having anticipated that Kōsaka Kyōsuke would deal with the waves, activated a portion of the power on the Yasakani no Magatama while Kōsaka was concentrating, unleashing a slash several times stronger than before.

His eyes were filled with intense killing intent!

"You are not allowed to harm Lord Kyosuke!"

With a delicate shout, Su Chang unleashed her inner energy like a flood, and the long sword in her hand burst forth with a light as brilliant as a galaxy.

The dazzling sword light filled the sky and swept across all directions, momentarily more dazzling than the surrounding flames.

Clang clang clang~~

The sound of swords clashing was incessant!

The chilling sword light seemed endless, constantly shooting towards Ōtakemaru's slashes and... the ghost ship.

Ok?

Ootengu, who was still thinking about whether to gather his strength for another attack, suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his body, which was caused by a terrifying crisis. He immediately became cautious and had to deal with all of Su Chang's attacks.

Attacking him is fine, but if the ghost ship carrying most of the supplies and people is destroyed, the Sea Kingdom will surely lose this war.

"die."

As Ōtakemaru quickly dealt with Su Chang's attack and tried to command other generals to help, a faint voice seemed to travel across the distance and drift towards him.

Illusion?

Because his teacher was skilled in illusions, Ootengu immediately became wary and, on a whim, activated his demonic power to resist.

Pfft~

At the critical moment, Ootengu, who had suddenly tilted his body to the side, frowned and looked in a certain direction.

He saw a girl wearing a goldfish headdress looking at him with a melancholy expression.

The chilling coldness in his seemingly emotionless gaze seemed capable of freezing him to the bone.

"Spiritual communication".

Kagura, the young girl, once again struck without mercy.

The world around them suddenly turned pitch black. The sea monsters, charging forward on the waves, felt countless eyes watching them. When they tried to react, they were all completely silent.

"..."

Ōtakemaru remained calm, but the Yasakani no Magatama he held tightly in his hand began to waver.

He was not afraid.

The question is whether to activate most of the artifact's power to turn the tide.

But if we continue, more of our people will die. It's not worth it, it's not worth it.

"The number of dead is almost enough for a blood sacrifice. We can't act rashly, but in terms of morale... and it's not certain that we can attract more troops from Kyoto."

Ōtakemaru quickly analyzed the pros and cons in his mind, and without further hesitation, issued the order: "Withdraw!"

The military order was issued.

The sea monster, who was still desperately fighting with other warriors and water demons, immediately began to think of ways to escape the battle.

In just a dozen breaths, the sirens transformed from fugitives into creatures more comical than any fish.

Even those who were fighting them were slightly taken aback.

—How could someone who fought like a madman suddenly become someone willing to leave at any cost? That's certainly a bit baffling.

"Clean up the battlefield."

After dispelling the waves and the miasma they carried, Kousaka Kyosuke gave the order in a clear voice.

I did not issue any further orders to pursue them.

How to chase?
