Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1475

I can hardly believe this is a human being.

[Possessing such immense power... and yet still living in Kyoto...]

Even now, Kyosuke Kosaka can still hear those guys muttering to themselves.

Let alone the person I used to be with, who had a terrible temper.

Even I, who am usually quite good-tempered, want to slap these idiots who are making sarcastic remarks to death!

Initially, it was because of the harmonious atmosphere here that Kyosuke Kosaka gradually adapted to the environment.

Unfortunately, there are always people who like to do things that make him unhappy.

“Those bastards are so mean,” Kinnara said, “It was Kyosuke who saved them.”

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "I never intended to save them. They were just extras. After all, as you know, Orochi and the other evil gods have no intention of letting anyone go. To them, everyone has to be dealt with."

"Kyosuke, don't pay attention to them," Kagura comforted him.

Kyosuke Kosaka laughed: "I don't take them to heart. If I did, I would be too petty."

Throughout the entire process, he showed little emotion towards the other officials in the court.

Those clueless people who can be easily crushed, let's deal with them when they really feel they're in the way.

"We've arrived at Black Night Mountain."

Kinnara suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Kyosuke Kosaka turned his gaze to the Black Night Mountain where they were about to land.

They landed at the highest point of Black Night Mountain, where most of the area was surrounded by purplish-black miasma. All the land and living things had been eroded and corrupted, losing their vitality.

Compared to the situation of "nothingness" erosion, it's probably no better or worse.

"There don't seem to be any snake demons around here." Kinnara made another rare discovery.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "The snake demons attack places that haven't been corrupted by the 'Void.' Take our manor, for example; the snake demons relentlessly attack there. And the situation in Kyoto is even worse."

Kinnara froze, then asked hesitantly, "Is the situation more serious in Kyoto?"

"All I want to say is that most of the pressure on the manor is shared by Kyoto. After all, Kyoto is humanity's last line of defense. Breaching it would mean the extinction of humanity."

"Can they really hold out over there? I'm suddenly starting to have doubts..."

"Don't underestimate everyone."

Kousaka Kyosuke responded to Kinnara's words, slowly raising his hand to cast a spell.

Kagura vigilantly protected Kousaka Kyosuke, while Kinara also reacted quickly and summoned her biwa.

"Don't be so nervous."

Kyosuke Kosaka comforted Kagura and Kinnara.

A series of extremely complex hand seals were drawn towards the sky at an incredibly fast speed.

Click~

A clap of thunder startled the heavens, and the celestial phenomena suddenly changed.

The rolling dark clouds in the sky seemed to boil over, with thunder rumbling and the wind howling.

"The sweet, sinful fruit..."

I will tear you apart! I will crush you!

"Become a part of me—"

Laughter and curses filled the air, and a crack resembling an eye could be vaguely seen in the rolling dark clouds.

Ignoring everything else, Kyosuke Kosaka's fingers flew across his body, his hand seals becoming increasingly complex and swift!

In Kinnara's eyes, the hand seals seemed to contain everything in the world; she even saw music in them... In short, the hand seals with incredible power were being cast one after another.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunder roared like dragons and snakes, and the world seemed to be facing its end.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who had already stopped, sighed inwardly as he looked at the dark clouds that hadn't gathered intentionally... feeling quite regretful.

"Although the rules have changed, they are still not completely finalized. Perhaps the only way to transcend the tribulation is to go to the Central Plains."

"...What happened?" Seeing that Kousaka Kyosuke had stopped and was not going to do anything more, Kinara, who was staring intently at her surroundings, finally couldn't help but ask.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "It's obvious that those evil gods were planning to descend, but I've driven them back for now."

Kinnara was somewhat stunned: "So weak..."

"They just don't have a good venue to showcase their abilities, so don't underestimate them," Kyosuke Kosaka pointed out.

Just as they were about to say something more, Kousaka Kyosuke suddenly stopped talking, as if listening to something. Seeing this, Kinara and Kagura continued to keep a vigilant eye on their surroundings.

Soon after, Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Let's go, let's head to the Underworld. Lord Ara has found a way to combat the 'Void,' let's go help him."

Seeing all the things in the underworld might help me understand the power of reincarnation.

After becoming an immortal, Kyosuke Kousaka understood that this was not the end, but another beginning, and that it was even more necessary to work harder.

That's perfect.

This world is in a phase of destruction and rebirth. Having gone through this ordeal, he will inevitably gain some insights into certain powers. It's a complete windfall. Without realizing it, Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly felt fortunate to have come to Japan...

434. The Support of the Spider Lily / The Collapse of the Sanzu River in the Underworld / The Search

Upon receiving Ara's message, Kousaka Kyosuke immediately took Kagura and Kinnara to the underworld.

As expected, Kousaka Kyosuke saw Seimei's figure. Not only was he by Ara's side, but Yaobikuni was also there. However, Minamoto no Hiromasa did not come over.

After careful consideration, Kousaka Kyosuke immediately realized that this might be related to Minamoto no Hiromasa's previous role as the deputy commander of the Kyoto legion.

Minamoto no Hiromasa was, after all, from the Minamoto clan. Even though he had broken with the Minamoto clan because of Kagura, some things cannot be broken off so easily.

"What should we do?" After exchanging a few pleasantries with everyone, Kyosuke Kosaka got straight to the point.

“Collect ‘Nothingness’,” Ara said succinctly.

Seeing that Ara was as taciturn as before, Kousaka Kyosuke couldn't help but recall that when they fought against Orochi, Ara had been talking non-stop, almost making Kousaka Kyosuke think that Ara was going to say all the things he had to say in his life at once.

"That's perfect! It seems there's hope for the underworld."

Kyosuke Kosaka spoke with a hint of surprise, after all, "nothingness" is the most unsolvable substance in the world.

Those were the elements that the gods used to build the world at the beginning of creation.

Even though Kyosuke Kousaka has become much stronger, he is still full of fear of it.

This substance is truly an unsolvable problem; no matter what substance or force can affect it in the slightest.

Kyosuke Kosaka tried to touch it even slightly, but the intense destructive power left him in a bad state, and it took him quite a while to recover.

Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to use pure physical force to shake it off.

"If possible, we should try to process this as quickly as possible. It would be best if there were a guide." Yaobikuni looked at Kousaka Kyosuke with a teasing smile.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Let me ask."

The relationship between him and the other shore flower cannot be hidden from others at all, so why bother to hide it?

After saying that, he took out a flower with bright red petals that looked like it was burning with flames from his body, and silently asked himself, "I need your help with something."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the flower emitted a gentle, soft, and charming voice.

"Help? I never do anything in vain. What can someone who wants my help possibly offer in return?"

Kousaka Kyosuke remained silent, then casually replied in his mind, "How about I let you do whatever you want with me for a day?"

The flowers are quiet and still.

Kousaka Kyosuke thought for a moment, then looked at the others and said, "My reputation won't work for now."

Kinnara, who had been trying hard to keep quiet, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Red spider lilies, we are from the underworld, preventing the erosion of 'nothingness'."

"That's it."

At this moment, Yaobikuni spoke softly.

"First, we need to investigate the 'Void' before we officially begin preparations for action. These are crucial to saving the Underworld, so we need a capable guide."

Seimei then added, "We will also try our best to purify the Sanzu River."

Kyosuke Kosaka chimed in, "That's right!"

"..."

Seimei was unusually overcome with strange emotions.

How should I put it? I admire Kyosuke Kousaka for having such a spirit and drive even now.

"You have such courage, I am quite interested. Since that's the case, I will take pity on you and guide you—you can easily discover many things by following my sea of ​​flowers. I still have the spirits of the dead to take care of, so I have no time to answer your questions."

The red spider lily readily agreed.

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't understand why things were like this. She had rejected him outright at the beginning, which was incredibly disrespectful.
