Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1458

Ultimately, all the spells he currently uses still carry the shadow of his original spells, and are in any way different from the native Yin-Yang magic.

This is why Kyosuke Kousaka is even more excited about Kagura, Seimei, Minamoto no Hiromasa, and Yaobikuni, the main characters of Onmyoji.

All of them had maxed out their Onmyoji talents, except that Minamoto no Hiromasa and Yaobikuni were more specialized in one area, but this also gave their magic a more special potential.

Now, Kyosuke Kousaka, who is already injured, is looking forward to their performance.

He needs to slow down for a while, take a break, and then find the right opportunity.

But this time it probably won't be so easy.

Saint Seiya will not be defeated twice by the same move.

Why couldn't the cunning and cautious Yamata no Orochi do it?

I guess they're already figuring out how to outsmart him.

"The end is near, let's talk properly then."

The Yamata no Orochi chuckled softly, its head returning to its original position. It became as elegant as before, its voice magnetic and its tone gentle, as if it were catching up with a good friend.

However, his act of summoning countless giant snakes with a wave of his hand was anything but friendly.

"Please help us deal with the snake demon! We will stop Orochi from performing its ritual!" Seimei said.

The little white creature, now in its true form, roared and appeared behind him, instantly fling away the snake demons that were about to attack Seimei with a single claw.

“You all go and help too.”

"Yes!"

The shikigami, following Kousaka Kyosuke's instructions, left without hesitation.

Suddenly, many giant snakes, even larger than ordinary snake demons, appeared all around. If they were allowed to wreak havoc, the reinforcements that came to their aid would likely suffer heavy losses in no time.

Furthermore, the snake must not be allowed to harass Kousaka Kyosuke, Seimei, and the others who are clearly trying to figure out how to deal with Yamata no Orochi.

"The Black Mirror will return to its original state in about 15 minutes."

Kagura roughly estimated how fast Orochi would recover the Black Mirror.

Silently observing the power of the barrier around Orochi, Ara pondered, "It will take at least a quarter of an hour for everyone to break through the barrier together. He is fully prepared."

“We just need to gather the wisdom of more Onmyoji. For example, Hiromasa and Yaobikuni,” Kousaka Kyosuke suggested.

Seimei: "Alright."

Kyosuke Kosaka: "Then I'll contact them. You guys figure something out."

The group then secretly plotted on the spot.

Actually, they are still quite a distance away from Orochi, but the content of their conversation is not important.

When it comes time to discuss how to deal with Yamata no Orochi, everyone will communicate through the telepathic communication "network" controlled by Indra.

As long as you ask Indra for help, you can contact anyone immediately and communicate directly, which is even more convenient than making a phone call.

"Fire arrows!"

The waves surged, and on a ghost ship, countless arrows were shot at the giant serpent at the command of a bold female voice.

Taking advantage of the opening created when the serpent demon was hit by an arrow, the female general Suzuka Gozen, standing on the ghost ship, unleashed a series of snow-white, ribbon-like sword flashes, tearing the giant serpent to pieces.

"Taste the power of the demon!"

Ibaraki-dōji laughed loudly, and a demonic hand, larger than the giant serpent and formed from powerful demonic energy, appeared. It violently crushed the giant serpent, sending blood and bones flying everywhere.

"Therefore, close your eyes, for the Pure Land has no eyes, and thus you can see the Pure Land..."

As if reciting poetry, Indra caused countless pure lotus flowers to appear on the many serpent demons, devouring them completely.

The renowned Shuten-dōji could smash many giant snakes that were visible to the naked eye with his punches, almost effortlessly.

Tamamo-no-Mae summoned foxfire to burn...

Each of the Ghost Kings became the most eye-catching presence on the battlefield.

In contrast, samurai like Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Onikiri easily sliced ​​giant snakes into pieces with their swords.

The weaker samurai protected the Onmyoji, who in turn used various barriers to trap the giant serpent.

All the fighters against Yamata no Orochi are performing their duties.

Kyosuke Kosaka watched with a detached air as the shikigami, like the demon kings, became the "most dazzling stars" on the field, and felt quite gratified.

Although this is not a time for comfort, the problem is that he seems unable to do anything else.

With more than half of his life force burned away, Orochi's attacks still seemed to have a stubborn negative buff, so for the time being, he could only be a spectator.

Recovering quickly and launching another sneak attack is far more important than anything else.

Even knowing that the extraction of the Ame no Habakiri from Orochi was a matter of destiny, Kyosuke Kousaka still wanted to resist and try to seal it away first.

If he becomes stronger in the future, it's not impossible to solve the problem once and for all.

Just use the original plot as a reference.

"Kyosuke, are you alright?" Minamoto no Hiromasa, who was finally able to get away, quickly asked.

"It's alright, you can see how to break the barrier first."

"Yes! I will never forgive Orochi!"

Minamoto no Hiromasa agreed, glaring at the Yamata no Orochi who seemed completely oblivious to him and was instead gazing at the battlefield from afar.

Having just received a quick explanation from Kyosuke Kosaka, he also understands that the key to stopping the trial ceremony is the Cloud Mirror.

If the black mirror of the Cloud Mirror is taken away, the trial ceremony cannot proceed.

It was clear that Orochi had made preparations in advance. A very sturdy barrier, like a tortoise shell, was protecting him around him, so the barrier needed to be broken before he could take the Cloud Mirror.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Yaobikuni also quickly came over.

Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head: "It's alright, take a look at the barrier over there on Orochi's side."

When everyone found the right moment, they broke the barrier together, and he took the opportunity to restrain Orochi once again.

The solution is old, but there are no better alternatives.

Even if Orochi hadn't fully recovered its power, it was still not something that just anyone could restrain.

Even the god Ara is no match for him. He is clearly a support shikigami, and his strength is not enough to pose a significant threat to Orochi. Who knows, if Orochi were to engage in a fight to the death, Ara would be gone.

Therefore, Kousaka Kyosuke, who was worried about the god of prophecy getting into trouble, did not intend to put him in a dangerous situation.

Seimei probably meant the same thing.

It's such a waste to have a prophetic god who could be of great help but instead send him to the front lines of battle.

"Okay, I'll do my best!"

Yaobikuni spoke softly.

Kyosuke Kosaka was speechless. Where did this verbal tic come from? Who did he copy?

Seemingly noticing Kyosuke Kousaka's subtle expression, Yaobikuni clearly revealed a mischievous smile.

Kyosuke, you've found an easier way to break the barrier.

Kagura suddenly spoke to Kousaka Kyosuke in her mind.

Upon hearing this, Kyosuke Kosaka immediately asked Indra for help.

Indra is skilled in intelligence gathering and has an innate ability to read minds, making the communication network he builds even more reassuring.

And Indra was also very helpful.

He directly pulled a bunch of people he thought were useful into a makeshift "temporary communication network".

Shuten-dōji: [Should we destroy the Cloud Mirror?]

Minamoto no Hiromasa: [Hey! Ungaikyo used to be our ally, and now he's just being controlled by Orochi. Are we really going to destroy him just because of that?]

Minamoto no Yorimitsu: [Hiromasa, you are still so naive even now, it's truly disappointing.]

Suzuka Gozen: [Now is not the time to argue. Let's think about how to seize the Cloud Mirror first.]

Seimei: [I plan to break the barrier as quickly as possible with Hiromasa and Yaobikuni later. At that time, I hope everyone will immediately restrain Orochi. Please be careful, there is a high probability that there are other hidden traps where he is standing...]

When the argument first broke out, Seimei got straight to the point.

After thinking for a moment, Kousaka Kyosuke decided to share his other idea.

[The Yamata no Orochi should have another ally! The trial ceremony requires a judge, a judge, and an executioner to take place, and the executioner who hasn't appeared yet could also be one of our targets...]

"..."

Seimei frowned deeply.

He also guessed that an executioner might appear when Orochi needed him, but if Kyosuke Kousaka were to launch a sneak attack, it would be too dangerous.

The executioner is highly likely to have the same rank as the Yamata no Orochi, otherwise it would be impossible for them to become an executioner.

Therefore, if Kyosuke Kousaka were to launch another sneak attack on Orochi, he might face two counterattacks... and Seimei was not unaware of Kyosuke Kousaka's poor condition.

[Let's do it this way. At this point, taking no risks is impossible. Send reinforcements as soon as possible if you can, otherwise there will be no chance at all.]
