Sword Art Online Crossover: They're all close friends, how did I become a player?

After Yu Bai cast a healing spell and provided a shield on him, Abe no Seimei charged at Nue, who was still putting on an act, wielding the Yin-Yang talisman.

Unbearable, no need to endure.

"Bound, bound, bound! Immovable bondage! Divine decree descends."

As Abe no Seimei uttered his deep and powerful incantation, a chain shimmering with silver light suddenly appeared from the void, like a serpent emerging from its hole, instantly wrapping around Nue from her ankles to her waist, binding her tightly with no chance of escape.

The purifying aura emanating from the chains made Nue, who was originally evil and had now evolved into a monster, feel extremely uncomfortable.

Nue and Abe no Seimei fought each other; this was an inevitable outcome.

As Nue said, there can only be one Abe no Seimei in this world.

It's a miracle that Abe no Seimei has been able to tolerate Nue, who is trying to replace him and constantly trying to ruin his reputation.

During the fight, Nue wielded the Demon King's small hammer. Although he was the evil spirit of the great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei, his Onmyoji skills were indeed not as good as Abe no Seimei's.

Compared to Yin-Yang techniques, Nue now relies on the power of her physical body and the energy contained in the Demon King's small hammer.

Overall, the fighting style, which was neither that of a mage nor a warrior, made Yu Bai feel somewhat strange.

Most importantly, can't you put on some clothes?

Yu Bai was speechless at the sight of Nue standing naked in the air, enjoying the cool breeze.

The wide, sweeping movements and the wretched sight of him bound by chains made Yu Bai's two closest friends want to block his view of the fight.

Abe no Seimei's status as the top Yin-Yang master was no exaggeration. With various Yin-Yang spells combined with talismans, Nue had no chance to get close to Abe no Seimei, and the attacks from the Demon King's mallet were all blocked by the barrier technique.

However, the current Abe no Seimei is not the complete Abe no Seimei. The great Onmyoji in history died a thousand years ago, and what Nue is facing now is only a wisp of Abe no Seimei's soul that has been preserved.

But just as Abe no Seimei had told Yu Bai before, even if he was just a wisp of his soul that had been preserved, he could still deal with Nue.

However, with the Demon King's hammer now in hand, neither Abe no Seimei nor Nue could gain the upper hand, and the battle reached a stalemate.

In the sky, the oppressive aura emanating from the battle between the two caused immense pressure on the surrounding monsters and Onmyoji.

This forced the yokai of the Nura Clan, the yokai of the Tono Clan, and the onmyoji of the Keikain family to admit that Nue's combat power was indeed very strong.

If it were them facing Nue... Rikuo Nura compared Nue with the yokai of his Nura Clan and sadly realized that if it really came to that, the Nura Clan would probably pay an extremely heavy price and still might not be able to keep Nue.

"I humbly take refuge in all Buddhas! In the stars that dispel calamities! In the East, in the Yaksha King who descends to the Three Worlds! In the West, in the Yaksha King of Great Power! In the South, in the Yaksha King of Kundali! In the North, in the Yaksha King of Vajra..."

Abe no Seimei held a talisman between two fingers, his eyes fixed on the bound Nue as he chanted incantations. The surging spiritual energy around him coalesced into a powerful current, causing his robes and long silver hair to flutter wildly from bottom to top.

When Abe no Seimei found another opportunity to use magic to bind Nue tightly, Nue heard the incantation from his mouth and her pupils shrank, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.

As a malevolent thought of Abe no Seimei, how could he not know about Abe no Seimei's "Dragon Purifies All Evils"? Once Abe no Seimei finishes reciting this incantation, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But it would take him time to break free, so Nue immediately shouted to the monsters below, "Stop him! Jizo! Monsters who follow me, stop him! Don't let him finish his incantation!"

The yokai below, who were initially bewildered by the sudden battle between Abe no Seimei and Nue, began to move instinctively upon hearing Nue's shout, even though their minds hadn't fully caught up.

They rushed toward Abe no Seimei, trying to stop him from finishing the incantation.

Upon seeing this scene, Nura Rikuo and the Onmyoji of the Keikain family immediately reacted and stood in front of the group of yokai.

As the most outstanding head of the Keikain family, Keikain Hidemoto naturally had some understanding of the Yin-Yang magic that Abe no Seimei was currently performing.

As he drew incantations in mid-air, he turned to Yura and Rikuo Nura and said, “Yura, Rikuo Nura, this is the legendary ‘Dragon Purification of Evil’ by Abe no Seimei. If we can hold off these monsters and allow Lord Seimei to successfully unleash ‘Dragon Purification of Evil,’ then this battle can be declared over.”

“Alright, we understand.” Nura Rikuo stared at the group of yokai in front of him with a serious expression, tightening his grip on Mimikirimaru even more.

No matter what, we won't let those monsters get through, for the sake of Kyoto.

However, just as they were preparing to fight the monsters, a thick black aura suddenly surged from the ground and quickly swept across the entire battlefield.

This black aura spread rapidly like a plague, causing vegetation to wither and die wherever it went, leaving behind a desolate wasteland.

"What...what's going on? My life force!"

"No! I feel my life force draining away rapidly! What... what is happening?"

The monsters shrouded in the black mist quickly sensed something was wrong. They were horrified to discover that their life force was draining away at an alarming rate. Their life force was rapidly diminishing every second, and their bodies were quickly weakening. This feeling filled the monsters with an unprecedented panic.

In an instant, some of the weaker monsters turned into skeletons due to the loss of their life force, and finally turned into dust and drifted away with the wind.

"This...this is!"

Yura, the Flower Gardener, was so shocked by the terrifying scene before her that she was speechless. The reason they were unharmed was that, accompanied by the sound of a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument), their life force was rapidly increasing.

The rate of loss and the rate of increase formed a delicate balance. They seemed fine, but in reality, they were losing a huge amount of life force every second, just like those monsters, but every second a huge amount of life force was replenished.

And the only ones who could possess such an ability are...

……

Yu Bai: Is this the difference between melee mages and ranged mages? On another note, Nue, can't you wear some clothes before fighting?

Nue: Today I will become the true Abe no Seimei, hahaha~~ (After being bound, she sees Abe no Seimei preparing to use Dragon Purification of Evil, her pupils dilate in shock.) Stop him! Stop him! (Voice cracks)

Abe no Seimei: I want to die with evil thoughts!!!
