Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1384

He saw a ball of light appear in front of him and reached out to catch it.

And the serpentine shadows, seemingly filling the world yet both real and illusory, also came to an end silently.

"A lot of spiritual energy was consumed at once... If this continues for less than half an hour, I'm afraid my energy and spirit will be completely exhausted."

Kousaka Kyosuke, who casually placed the ball of light into his spatial dimension, breathed a sigh of relief and flew away from the snowy region at a leisurely pace.

At this moment, the snowy region was filled with evil energy, and it was basically the territory of the Yamata no Orochi.

It would be better to leave this field as soon as possible.

When we completely leave the snowy region.

When Kousaka Kyosuke noticed countless beautiful figures moving towards him in the distance, his tension eased considerably.

"Kyosuke-sama!"

"a!"

Su Chang's voice, Kagura's voice, and Su Yi, Kinara, Yaodao Ji, and Bai Lang... they all came over.

They weren't worried about being wiped out in one fell swoop.

"I'm fine, but Suyi, could you please carry me on your back?"

Kyosuke Kosaka spoke slowly.

Although he was no longer at his last gasp, he had almost reached that point.

The Kusanagi sword was too much of a drain on him, especially when facing the Orochi's home turf and the seemingly well-prepared gang attack. He was able to defend himself, but he was exhausted as a result.

To be honest, this is also closely related to the items belonging to the Snow Mountain tribe.

A large number of items were placed in Kousaka Kyosuke's space, causing him to consume a huge amount of spiritual energy every moment.

Of course, Kyosuke Kosaka wouldn't complain about it.

how to say?

This should be considered more of a case of "one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit".

Kyosuke Kosaka had already realized that the coincidences were too coincidental, so he was willing to go fishing to test the waters.

Otherwise, sooner or later you will still encounter cleverly designed traps.

As a result, Orochi was probably very satisfied with the outcome and left contentedly.

And Kousaka Kyosuke?

The only loss was a Kusanagi sword that was almost corroded and whose power would probably not be able to play a significant role in the short term.

Anyway, Kyosuke Kousaka didn't care.

His basic principle is to never abandon the Kusanagi sword, even at a certain cost.

However, Orochi was probably only thinking about corrupting the Kusanagi Sword, making it unable to be of great use in the short term.

This is more in line with what Kousaka Kyosuke had "expected".

Although this is definitely not the correct idea for many Onmyoji.

"...Lord Kyosuke, are you really alright?"

The woman in plain clothes, carefully carrying Kyosuke Kousaka on her back, asked softly.

Kyosuke Kousaka shook his head, then turned to smile at his other companions and shikigami who were looking at him with concern.

"It's nothing, let's get out of here quickly, we'll talk on the way."

"Ok."

Su Yi felt a little relieved, her heart, which had been pounding with anxiety.

Su Chang and Kinnara, who are usually quite talkative, didn't say much.

Like Kagura, Yoto Hime, and Hakuro, they were very worried about Kousaka Kyosuke, but they were more concerned about their surroundings.

In their view, this was clearly a period when they were vulnerable to surprise attacks.

Kyosuke Kosaka wanted to persuade him, but ultimately held back.

"At this point, saying anything will probably be useless; we won't be able to calm down completely until we get back to the manor."

This is indeed the case.

The only change is that more people are visiting Kyosuke Kousaka.

Leaving aside Enmusubi, all the other companions and shikigami arrived, as if Kousaka Kyosuke had encountered some major event.

Kyosuke Kousaka didn't do that.

Given his extreme fatigue, Kyosuke Kosaka rested his head on Kagura's lap and began to recount what had happened to him.

There was no intention to hide anything.

“…That’s true,” Enmusubi scratched his face with his finger, “You still have your wicked sense of humor. Be careful, talking to that guy too much can easily lead you to commit a crime.”

Shizuko's吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to roast or criticize) spirit was even more uncontrollable.

"As a result, Lord Kyosuke still readily made a deal with the evil god."

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "That spell is somewhat useful. I'm worried that the temptation from the evil god is even greater, let alone just saying a word."

Kinnara rarely frowned.

"It is wrong to make a deal with an evil god; you will be tempted step by step."

Yukino's fair assessment:

"The evil god can easily see through people's desires. In his eyes, good and evil are probably meaningless, or he never defines any behavior in terms of good and evil. He views everything and takes all actions based on whether it is interesting... Lord Kyosuke, he must be observing you."

Enmusubi looked at Yukino in surprise: "That's just how that guy is!"

Kyousuke Kosaka answered.

"The evil god once told me that he really likes humans. His exact words were, 'I really like humans~'"

"That's why I said that guy was completely hopeless."

"The height at which the evil god stands inevitably makes his emptiness and loneliness unfulfilled, so he enjoys observing all things interesting, even willing to act as a behind-the-scenes guide to accelerate the development of the unknown in order to create amusement and please himself. His way of 'loving' humanity is peculiar, but it cannot be said that it is not 'love'."

"Hey! Hey! Your thoughts are dangerous! Get some rest! Get some rest!" Yuanjieshen exclaimed in surprise.

Kyosuke Kosaka yawned.

"I'm going to sleep now. If anyone is worried about me, they can sleep with me. I won't mind being disturbed."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

Exhaustion overwhelmed me, and having already explained everything, it was time to rest.

"..."

Seeing that Kyosuke Kousaka seemed to have entered a resting state, Enmusubi looked at everyone and mouthed the words.

"Something's not right, be careful."

A flicker of uncertainty crossed Yukino's eyes.

The nonchalance that Kousaka Kyosuke displayed at this moment was almost no different from when she first met him.

Yes, Kyosuke Kousaka has changed very quickly in the past year or so...

However, because Yukino had always lived with Kousaka Kyosuke, she didn't pay much attention.

However, as Kyosuke Kousaka suddenly pointed out the specific characteristics of the Yamata no Orochi, Yukino immediately realized the problem.

then.

When she stepped outside the room, Yukino also told Suyi, the person in charge of the manor, about her thoughts.

Many others who also came out of the room heard it as well.

Su Chang couldn't help but say, "I remember that Lord Kyosuke's power is somewhat special... He became rather cold-hearted once, and I feel like he is now too."

The others who joined later, such as Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka, were surprised. "Is this even possible?"

Chitanda said softly, "Perhaps Lord Kyosuke was just tired. He rested only after he had completely finished explaining things."

"We'll know once Kyosuke-sama wakes up and we try it."

Shizuko offered a suggestion.

When he heard Kyosuke Kosaka's insightful assessment of the Yamata no Orochi, he couldn't help but think of certain scenes from movies and TV dramas.

"The evil god that Kyosuke-sama described is a purely self-amusing monster, but I remember that Kyosuke-sama also enjoyed entertaining himself a long time ago..."

Not so good.

Shizuko didn't want her husband to have any problems.

I'd rather think about scary things every day than be a weird person.

"Those who wish to keep Kyosuke company may come into the room. It's alright. When Kyosuke rests, he enters a very deep state, and it's almost impossible to wake him up."

Su Yi said to the others who came out.

Incidentally, Su Yi's gaze also fell upon Kasumigaoka.
