Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 82

This gathering of monsters and demons caused the once clear sky to become gloomy.

The sky suddenly turned pitch black.

A terrifying demonic aura began to permeate the surroundings...

“It would be a waste to have the Demon King as my opponent,” Kousaka Kyosuke laughed.

With a wave of his hand, the black and white yin-yang fish behind him transformed into a stream of light and soared into the sky.

Boom!

A violent burst of flames appeared, piercing a giant hole in the background shrouded in dark clouds like fireworks.

Countless people watched this scene in awe.

I watched helplessly as the sky instantly returned to its clear state it had been at the beginning.

"Shuten-dōji, let's fight again!" A voice rang out from afar.

"Lord Shuten-dōji, this is a trap! Don't believe it!"

"Hahahaha—so what? You take charge here."

Shuten-dōji completely disregarded the advice of his subordinate Hoshiguma-dōji.

Hoshiguma Doji, who should have been angry, smiled helplessly.

"Then, Lord Shuten-dōji, please finish this quickly. This Onmyoji doesn't seem to be simple."

"We want to go too! Lord Shuten-dōji!" another subordinate shouted.

Shuten-dōji laughed loudly: "After you break through the encirclement, you can fight alongside me, right?"

"Lord Shuten-dōji!"

"Lord Shuten-dōji!!"

The demons and monsters paid even more fervent tribute to Shuten-dōji, the leader of Mount Ōe!

Shuten-dōji then ignored everyone else and used his demonic power to fly towards the source of the sound.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who had originally thought he would need to use other methods to force Shuten-dōji into an encirclement, looked at the demon king with admiration.

Such a reckless act is practically suicide, isn't it?

That's not entirely true.

Kyosuke Kousaka himself could not do it, but his admiration is undeniable.

"He's a fine man," Kousaka Kyosuke praised sincerely.

"Hmph, cunning humans, do you really think that a few words of praise will make us spare your lives?"

Hoshiguma Doji sneered.

His appearance was that of a skinny bear that looked like he was wearing a white tumbler suit, with a huge wine bowl floating behind him.

A group of demons and evil spirits with overwhelming demonic aura seemed to be waiting for his command.

"What I've said comes from the bottom of my heart, but let's see who's the real deal this time."

Kyosuke Kosaka simply smiled and said.

Hoshiguma Doji sneered repeatedly: "That's perfect!"

Having said that, he waved his hand and ordered his men to break through the encirclement!

He was still worried about Shuten-dōji.

However, knowing Shuten-dōji's proud nature, he was even less likely to stop him.

Therefore, this time the decision is to launch a full-scale attack!

As the steward and strategist of Mount Ooe, he knew that these humans from Kyoto simply did not have enough food and military supplies to fight a protracted war, so a swift victory was the only option.

Therefore, they absolutely cannot hold back either!

"A mere human being!"

"Hehehe... Someone's eating human flesh!"

Countless monsters and evil spirits surged like a tidal wave towards the 3000 regular soldiers and about a thousand non-humans.

Kyosuke Kosaka did not move.

Behind him, Fujiwara no Michitsuna waved his command flag and began directing his men to form ranks and launch an orderly attack.

A protracted war cannot be fought by sending out all of our forces.

If the entire army falls into a bad situation, then I guess I'll have to turn the tide myself.

Kyosuke Kosaka doesn't have that kind of courage yet.

We should still act according to the basic principles.

Within those dark eyes, the number of skeletons scattered across the ground began to slowly increase...

Day 101 of crossing

Kyosuke Kousaka, who hadn't slept at all, had already joined the battle.

By using Yin-Yang techniques, various amplifications are applied to enhance the warriors' strength.

The other Onmyoji joined forces to cast a barrier to block the demonic energy emitted by the monsters and the miasma they created...

Of the 3000 regular soldiers, nearly half had fallen, most of them being Genji soldiers.

—Given his personal motives, Kyosuke Kousaka did indeed have the responsibility to take good care of his own legion.

For the 500 noblemen he brought, he had to at least leave a minimum of three digits as a token gesture, otherwise he would really offend them.

The Fujiwara clan, on the other hand, shared a common clan.

Since I didn't show any "selfish motives," Kyosuke Kousaka can't blame them for betraying me after that.

Kyosuke Kousaka understood this principle very well.

Therefore, the only way to make up for the score is to contribute more when the Genji soldiers are fighting.

Day 102 of crossing

Still unable to sleep, Kousaka Kyosuke grabbed a sword and joined the battle.

The person who commanded the soldiers to attack was still Fujiwara no Michitsuna.

Da Yi and Shao Yi, both skilled in martial arts, took the lead and the monsters were quickly harvested like weeds!

"It's been three days, and Lord Raikou still hasn't decided a victor..."

Fujiwara no Michitsuna watched the scene of humans and yokai fighting silently, his heart unmoved.

Only when he looked at Kyosuke Kousaka did his pupils show an inexplicable change.

At this moment!

He was the one who truly realized just how powerful a force comparable to that of famous Onmyoji like Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Abe no Seimei really was.

Just look at these amazing results and you'll know.

Of the more than 3000 people who were initially expected to suffer heavy casualties, nearly half of them survived.

Some non-human beings also provided considerable assistance after obtaining special weapons that allowed them to sacrifice their life force for power...

Zheng~

A sliver of light sliced through the air.

The chilling light once again slayed several more monsters, and Kousaka Kyosuke seemed to sense something and looked up at the position of Hoshiguma Doji high above.

It was muttering incantations, as if it were about to cast a spell...

"Yokaiji!"

The summoned Yaodao-hime immediately understood.

She has a contractual relationship with Kyosuke Kousaka, and the two can communicate telepathically at any time.

"cut!"

A sweet shout.

With her demonic power flowing rapidly, the Demon Blade Princess unleashed a slash with lightning speed.

The terrifying speed of the slashes left behind afterimages!

Kyosuke Kousaka, who had already raised his sword and placed it against his chest, parted his lips slightly:

"Night Coin Heqi Du Jiu Liu..."

Obscure and difficult-to-understand characters emerged.

The already fierce slashes suddenly increased several times over—
