Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"We can't just stop here."

"The eight-headed serpent said, and then teleported to the Cloud Mirror."

Kyosuke Kosaka wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, he stopped. His current condition was not good. He looked up at the small patch of dark clouds that seemed to have locked onto him, and decided to wait and see.

"a."

"Mr. Kyousuke."

"Kyosuke-sama!"

Kagura, Yoto Hime, Hakuro, Enmusubi, and others rushed over to see him.

Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head, having already condensed his power into a bow, ready to strike the Yamata no Orochi at any moment.

At this time, he had not yet fully transcended the tribulation. Although his power was insufficient to fight against Orochi, he could still protect himself or cause Orochi some minor trouble.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning struck.

It wasn't Kyosuke Kousaka's tribulation lightning, but rather a golden bolt of lightning that appeared from a certain Ame no Habakiri.

As soon as the lightning appeared, it struck the Cloud Mirror with a speed that even the Yamata no Orochi couldn't react to, and the Cloud Mirror, which had just been condensed, shattered again at an unstoppable speed.

The trial courtroom seemed to be disappearing.

"This is... the power of Lord Susanoo in the illusion?" Yaobikuni said.

Kyosuke Kosaka tightened the bowstring in his hand and casually said, "It would be best if he could show up."

Yaobikuni gave a soft "hmm," looking at Kousaka Kyosuke, who seemed somewhat unfamiliar yet as familiar as ever, with a strange feeling in her heart.

What power enabled Kyosuke to contend with Yamata no Orochi?

That's amazing.

"It seems that this final battle can only end here."

Orochi announced with a regretful expression.

Kyosuke Kosaka breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to relax immediately. Even though he wanted to rest right away, he had to keep going until Orochi was completely gone.

Fortunately, the Yamata no Orochi walked directly into the black spatial rift that Ashura had cleaved open with his Ame no Habakiri as soon as he finished speaking. Seeing this, Kousaka Kyosuke looked up at the sky and noticed that the dark clouds that had been locking onto him had inexplicably dispersed. Relieved, he immediately fainted…

425. Coma / The Erosion of "Nothingness" / Countermeasures

"a!"

"Kyosuke-sama!"

Seeing that Kousaka Kyosuke had fainted, Yaodao-hime and Hakuro, who were behind him, quickly supported him steadily from both sides.

Kagura promptly comforted the two and the other shikigami.

"Don't worry, he's resting, you can even hear him snoring."

Eh?

The others were taken aback, and upon closer inspection, they indeed discovered that this was the case.

Kinara opened her eyes wide and leaned in so close she almost kissed Kousaka Kyosuke: "Yeah, there's a little snoring."

"That was because I overexerted my strength, but I was on high alert because of the threat from Orochi, so I didn't let myself show any signs of fatigue. Now that Orochi is gone, I can relax completely."

Yaobikuni said softly.

Having lived for so many years, she has seen many people in situations like Kyosuke Kousaka.

"We need to take Lord Kyosuke back to rest as soon as possible," Yamausagi said hurriedly.

Yingcao's worry lessened slightly, and she cautiously said, "I still have some strength left; I can still cast some healing spells..."

Kagura: "Let's talk about it when we get back. Kyosuke borrowed a lot of your and everyone's power just now, and we need to use the remaining power on the way back."

The Ubume echoed Kagura, its gaze fixed on the enormous black vortex in the sky, from which an unknown black substance was constantly flowing, its face filled with worry.

"The man named Ashura just now used the Heavenly Feather Blade to tear through space. Now that space has been expanded a lot, and the black substance flowing out seems to be able to destroy everything."

The knowledgeable Yaobikuni explained, "That should be 'nothingness,' one of the elements used by the gods at the beginning of creation to build the world, but for a world that has already been completed, it is equivalent to a destroyer."

Seimei, who had come over because he was worried about Kousaka Kyosuke's safety, agreed when he heard this.

“That’s right, it’s ‘nothingness.’ Even if Orochi’s current judgment ceremony ends prematurely, as long as this ‘nothingness’ continues to exist, it will be enough to achieve the execution result that Orochi previously expected.”

Kuro Seimei, who was traveling with him, chuckled.

"Does he want to return everything in the world to 'nothingness' once again, and then reshape it like clay to create a new world that he loves?"

"I will never let him get away with this!" Minamoto no Hiromasa gritted his teeth, secretly relieved to find that Kagura and Kousaka Kyosuke were both alright.

Xiaobai complained, "Lord Boya, let's clean up the mess first. Some snake demons didn't disappear just because Orochi left."

"I understand... You all rest and take care of yourselves."

Minamoto no Hiromasa said to everyone that he still had the energy to continue helping.

Xiao Bai politely took his leave: "Lord Seimei, I still have a lot of strength left, so I'll join the army to deal with those annoying snake demons."

“Go, this is what I wanted to tell you,” Seimei said.

The awakening of Yunwaijing's rationality had actually consumed a considerable amount of his power, and he had even borrowed Kuro Seimei's power for it. At this moment, he planned to recover some spiritual power before continuing his actions.

Immediately, Minamoto no Hiromasa and Shiro went to help.

"Unexpectedly, we were able to restrain Orochi without using the Kusanagi Sword. It seems our chances of winning are not low."

After casually glancing at the unconscious Kousaka Kyosuke for a moment, Kuro Seimei flicked his folding fan and left.

He vaguely sensed something was amiss, and while surprised, he didn't bother to say anything more.

Let's resolve these crises first.

"Everyone, we need to escort Kyosuke away first, so we'll take our leave now."

After Kuro Seimei left, Kagura spoke to Seimei, Ara, and the others, and then quickly left with them to return to the manor.

Previously, in order to fight against Yamata no Orochi, the group of people were almost completely exhausted. Staying would not be of much help, so it would be better to leave immediately.

After Kousaka Kyosuke, Kagura, and the others left, Ara slowly spoke to Seimei.

"Great Onmyoji Seimei, do you remember the strange phenomenon of Ame no Habakiri turning against you just now?"

"remember."

"What if I said it was the last hope to save the world? Great Onmyoji, would you be willing to help me complete the most dangerous formation in the world for the sake of the world?"

"Appreciate further details."

Seimei nodded solemnly to Ara.

the other side.

Kyosuke Kosaka and his group left smoothly, with many people providing support along the way.

Among them was Aoandon, who had never appeared in the procession that had suspended the trial ceremony. Since she had not signed a contract with Kousaka Kyosuke, her power had not been borrowed before. She was in good condition at the moment and was the main force supporting everyone's departure.

"Haha, I'm so sorry." The God of Fate seemed carefree.

Suzuhiko-hime, who was traveling with them, looked strange and seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Aoandon, who seemed to have noticed something, asked her.

"Lady Suzuhiko, is Mr. Kyosuke not doing well?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Suzuhiko-hime, even Enmusubi-shin looked at her with concern.

Seeing this, Suzuhiko had no choice but to tell the truth: "He seems to be fine, but his inner fire is a bit weak. It must be because he used up too much of his inner energy in the battle with Orochi."

"Hey, hey, hey, just get to the point! Is something going on with Kyosuke?" Enmusubi was rather impatient and went straight for the answer.

Suzuhiko-hime remained silent: "There's nothing much going on, I guess I'll just sleep a bit longer."

“It’s not just that, is it?” said Aoandon. “Princess Suzuhiko, you might as well tell us more. We know each other, so it’s okay to say anything.”

Yes, Aoandon is telling the truth.

She knew all the women connected to Kyosuke Kousaka, and they had met up several times.

"This dragging on is driving me crazy," the God of Fate complained again.

"Don't rush, I'll tell you right away—I just think Kyosuke might have a faster way to wake up, it's desire! During the crucial moment of his battle with Yamata no Orochi..."

Suzuhiko explained with a headache, unsure of the best way to put it.

To put it simply, when Kyosuke Kousaka was about to be killed by Orochi, she could clearly feel Kyosuke Kousaka's dazed state as he faced death. However, with the eruption of a strong desire, everything changed again.

Suzuhiko-hime was fully aware of this, but saying it aloud felt a little unsettling.

"...It must have been that Lord Kyosuke was thinking of everyone while fighting Orochi," White Wolf said in a low voice, his ears inexplicably folding up.

Yaodao-hime's eyes flickered, but she held onto Kousaka Kyosuke tightly without saying a word.

The mountain rabbit's ears and tail twitched frantically, while Yingcao looked dazed, lost in thought.

"Anyway, this is one method, let's write it down first."

The Ubume was quite experienced, so she wasn't too flustered after hearing Suzuhiko's explanation; her heart just started beating a little fast.
