"I hope nothing happens..." Koizumi muttered to himself, a look of deep worry in his eyes.

There was no way around it. Koizumi had a bad feeling in his heart. If something really happened, it would be terrible.

The next moment, two figures suddenly appeared beside Gu Quan, startling him slightly and quickly looking at them.

There is no doubt that the two who appeared beside Koizumi were Reimu and Minamoto no Raikou. They stopped fighting after Esdeath appeared. Minamoto no Raikou knew that Reimu had no ill intentions, and Reimu was concerned about Koizumi, so naturally she had no intention of continuing the fight.

Since both of them had their eyes on Esdeath, there was no doubt that the enemy of my enemy was my friend.

For Minamoto no Raikou, Esdeath is a dangerous existence. Although she is not a demon species, the sense of danger she brings to him is indeed no less than those beings whose bloodline is demon species, so Minamoto no Raikou cannot ignore her.

If I just ignore Esdeath's existence, I will regret it sooner or later.

"Are you okay? That [Vampire] came at the perfect time. It seems like she really cares about you... After all, given that [Vampire]'s personality, she would never take action if she wasn't truly concerned."

Reimu looked at Koizumi with concern, and after concluding that Koizumi was fine, she focused her attention on the battle in front of her. Remlia had indeed recovered to her peak form. Although she seemed to be at a disadvantage in the battle, she was still firmly on par with her opponent, making it impossible for Esdeath to gain any advantage from her.

Seeing this scene, Reimu couldn't help but feel a little relieved. It seemed that the situation was not as bad as she had imagined.

Minamoto no Raikou glanced at Koizumi and frowned slightly. She smelled a hint of blood from Koizumi's body.

This master seems to be injured... Minamoto no Raikou looked at Mainhil and the other person behind him.

There was also some blood on Marin's face, which looked like it was from this Master... Glancing at the ice on the ground, Minamoto no Raikou almost guessed what had happened. This Master must have helped to block the attack... And he used his own body to block the opponent's attack... He is a good leader...

The slight prejudice Minamoto no Raikou had towards Koizumi slowly dissipated. The only reason she had been hostile towards Koizumi was because of the vampire aura he radiated. Now, that trace of hostility had completely vanished.

Furthermore… carefully sensing the aura of the Master before him, Minamoto no Yorimitsu was surprised to discover the aura of the Genji on Koizumi. It was truly astonishing that this Master had actually come into contact with a Genji general…

"You—" Noticing Minamoto no Raikou approaching, Koizumi looked at him and was immediately startled.

This was no nonsense. This woman had attacked him immediately upon seeing him before, so why was she suddenly so close to him now? Anyway, Koizumi was quite wary of this woman and didn't dare let her get close to him easily.

Silently, Gu Quan couldn't help but take a step or two back. Of course, these steps were very subtle and could not be seen by ordinary people.

But just because ordinary people can't see it doesn't mean that servants can't see it. At least Reimu saw it, and Minamoto no Raikou also saw it. In this regard, Reimu could only say that the other party deserved it. Anyone who was slashed like this would feel a little resentful.

A trace of guilt appeared on Minamoto no Raikou's face, and even...what the hell was that with tears in the corners of his eyes!

The corner of Koizumi's mouth twitched fiercely, and he looked at the woman in front of him speechlessly. "Do you really have to be like this?"

"I'm truly sorry. I misunderstood you, Master. I hope you can forgive me. I'm just a mother who wants to protect her children... I regard all the children in this village as my own, and I did this to prevent them from getting hurt..."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu seemed quite excited when talking about his children, which made Koizumi scratch his head.

Why does it feel like I'm the one in the wrong... Koizumi was speechless.

"That's not a big deal. I have no right to blame a mother who only wants to protect her child... My name is Koizumi, you can just call me Koizumi. There's no contract between us, so there's no need to call me Master..."

"My name is Minamoto no Yorimitsu... I'm just a mother trying to protect her children. My job is Berserker..."

Upon hearing this, Koizumi's eyes widened, staring intently at the beautiful woman in front of him.

Do you all like to lie about your gender? Ushiwakamaru is like this, and so is Minamoto no Raikou!

"Are you Minamoto no Yorimitsu, the great general of the Minamoto clan during the Heian period who defeated the demons of Mount Oe, and the ancestor of Ushiwaka!?"

Minamoto no Raikou was slightly taken aback. Ushiwaka? And he was a general of the Minamoto clan...

The next moment, a hint of realization flashed in Minamoto no Raikou's eyes. So that's it, it was Minamoto no Yoshitsune... his descendant... This is really a wonderful fate, he was summoned to the same era with his descendant who is related to him by blood.

No wonder his strength is so terrifying. How could the existence of Shuten-doji, the leader of the demons who could command the Four Heavenly Kings and kill Oeyama, be so simple? Although it seems that he killed the opponent after getting him drunk, a big monster like Tsuchigumo was undoubtedly killed by Minamoto no Raikou, so... it seems normal that his strength is so terrifying.

"Then—as an apology, I will leave that person to me to defeat..."

After bowing respectfully to Koizumi, Minamoto no Raikou cast his gaze in the direction of Esdeath and suddenly drew out his katana with a flash of lightning.

"Punishment—execution!"

Chapter 189: Fight Again

Lightning and frost filled the battlefield, and Remlia was forced to retreat. She could feel that this guy with an amazing body was also threatening her, asking her not to get involved in this battle. He was really a hateful guy, no matter from which aspect.

Although Remlia wanted to rush up and reason with the other party, she felt a little scared when she saw the cold light on the other party's sword. The other party seemed to have special attacks against her and had repelled Koizumi who had transformed into a [vampire] before.

After thinking for a moment, Remlia made her own decision... Well, I'd better just watch the show...

That's right, there's no need to rush to the front of every battle. It's meaningless because I'm the Queen of the Night... What's the point of the Queen of the Night rushing forward so recklessly? I'm not a general...

It's better to leave things like charging into battle like this to my subordinates. Hmm... That's right, this is definitely not cowardice, but I'm not suitable for this kind of thing. No matter what, I have to have the arrogance of a king...

Thinking of this, Remlia slowly flew towards Koizumi. Incidentally, she lowered herself to the same height as Koizumi before flying over. She didn't intend to just walk over quietly, as she was very uncomfortable being looked down upon by others.

How could he be so humiliating in front of his servant? Although this servant did a good job in some things, he should be arrogant when necessary. If he didn't, he would lose his dignity in front of his servant.

I am the dignified eldest daughter of the Scarlet Devil Mansion...I cannot lose the face of the Scarlet Devil Mansion at any time.

"Miss... welcome back..." Koizumi looked at Remlia in front of him with a smile on his face, and a complicated emotion inexplicably arose in his heart. Even so, he was mostly happy, because Remlia was fine now, and he met her again, and she didn't forget him. This was really great.

Seeing Koizumi's smile, Remlia was slightly startled, and a complex emotion emerged in her heart.

Originally, she had a good impression of this servant. After spending some time with Koizumi in Fuyuki, she still had some feelings for him. So after meeting Koizumi again, Remlia couldn't help but feel a strange emotion in her heart. This feeling was very complicated. She was pleased that Koizumi's strength had increased, and she was happy to see him again. At the same time, she was also ashamed that this bastard had no respect for her at all.

Just like that, all kinds of emotions filled my heart, but the most common one was——

"Well done... Servant, it seems you've mastered your new powers well during my absence... If word gets out, it won't bring shame to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Here, I'll reluctantly acknowledge you..."

A pair of scarlet eyes stared at Koizumi, as if seeing through him completely. Remlia's lips curled up slightly, but then, as if she remembered something unpleasant, her expression instantly turned cold, which made Koizumi a little uncomfortable. It was just like the weather in June, changing at a moment's notice...

"However, there is an unpleasant aura in your body, you gap monster... I will settle the score with you for killing Fran once sooner or later..." When she said this, Remlia's face was a little gloomy.

Koizumi remained silent. There was nothing he could do. It was Yakumo Yukari who started it first, so he had nothing to say.

Reimu also silently said that it would be better for her to just watch the show, because it was indeed Yakumo Yukari who killed Flandre.

Although she wasn't there at the time, Koizumi told her the whole story, so...

Reimu didn't know what to say about this matter. From a moral point of view, what Yakumo Yukari did was a bit too much. She killed the younger sister in front of her elder sister. Anyone would go crazy and even go crazy to help the younger sister get revenge.

However, judging by the situation at the time, what Yakumo Yukari did was not wrong, because if she did not kill the other party, Koizumi would be in danger, and Yakumo Yukari would not watch this happen no matter what.

So really, it’s hard to say who is right or wrong in this kind of situation. We can only say from which perspective we look at the matter.

Seeing Koizumi's silence, Remlia curled her lips. Could this guy be worried that she might dislike him because of that inexplicable aura of the interstellar youkai?

"Don't worry, I won't blame you for the fault of the gap monster. I'm not someone who can't tell right from wrong."

No, you are a [vampire], Reimu said silently in her heart, feeling very speechless.

Koizumi couldn't help but curl his lips. "I'm not thinking about that question, could you please stop overthinking it?"

Remlia glanced at Maine and Ciel beside her. The two of them couldn't help but shudder subconsciously when they were locked in those scarlet eyes. There was nothing they could do. Remlia's gaze was not so easy to bear...

The next moment, Remlia and others focused their attention on the battlefield.

There is no doubt that the current battle is of a higher level than the previous battle between Reimu and Minamoto no Raikou. At least the aftermath of the battle between the two is too shocking. Lightning and frost are flying around. It seems that both of them have the ability to release magic power. The concentration of magic power flying around is really too strong.

Koizumi couldn't help but frown slightly. The fighting style of these two people was indeed too advanced.

"Such terrifying magic, such exquisite skills... The skills of these two people are simply..."

Seeing this scene, Koizumi couldn't help but feel shocked. Even Reimu felt a sinking feeling in her heart.

"Those two have truly gone through countless trials and tribulations to reach this level. Their martial arts are unrivaled for their time... There's no doubt they've reached this level... After reaching this point, they became Heroic Spirits and gained the corresponding skills—infinite martial arts training... Now I understand why I couldn't find a flaw in Minamoto no Raikou's attacks. No wonder..."

Having said that, Reimu couldn't help but scratch her head, a look of deep distress on her face.

"Infinite martial arts..." Koizumi muttered to himself, his scarlet eyes reflecting the flash of swords and lightning before him...

Gradually, Koizumi made a decision...

Chapter 190 Noble Phantasm

"What an astonishing skill... Such fighting power is truly terrifying, completely different from your previous self..."

While fending off the opponent's attacks, Minamoto no Raikou responded to them while marveling at the opponent's attacks.

After all, she had fought against him before, and she was very clear about his fighting ability, but now——

Completely different people... Minamoto no Raikou's sword kept flashing, with a cold light, and kept approaching Esdeath.

But Esdeath showed a beautiful smile and blocked the attacking sword lights one by one.

The other person looked very relaxed, but it made Minamoto no Raikou feel increasingly heavy-hearted.

Esdeath's sword was shining with cold light, and the endless sword light completely enveloped Minamoto no Raikou, leaving no room for him at all.

It looks scary, but in fact there is no solemnity on Minamoto no Raikou's face, but rather he looks very relaxed.

The blade light danced in the air like a silk thread, cutting off all the endless sword beams surrounding him.

"It's the same with you... You are the only one who can make the blood in my body boil like this. Not even Akame who defeated me in her lifetime could make me feel this way... My name is Esdeath, tell me your name, [Thor]!" A serious expression appeared on Esdeath's face. It must be said that Esdeath was rarely so serious.

It was obvious that Esdeath was extremely serious in front of Minamoto no Raikou, because Minamoto no Raikou was worthy of her seriousness.

That's true. Minamoto no Raikou was incredibly powerful, and so was Esdeath. The two shared some similarities, both now and in their lifetimes. Both were admiral-level beings, both unrivaled beings of their era. So, when they met in the same place, it was like like attracts like, and a fight ensued...

However, the reason for the fight was not that complicated. It was simply because Esdeath wanted to fight, and Minamoto no Raikou thought Esdeath was very dangerous, so he could not let Esdeath get close to here no matter what, so it turned out like this.

"Minamoto no Yorimitsu... Leader of the Minamoto clan... But now I am just a mother who hopes to protect her children... Now I am fighting you as a mother... not as a so-called general..."

Besides, the general of this world is Esdeath, not me... Minamoto no Raikou said silently in his heart.

"Minamoto no Raikou... well..." Esdeath muttered to herself, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing an ambiguous smile. At the same time, her pair of ice-blue eyes stared at Minamoto no Raikou in front of her. "As for whether I will continue to remember it in my heart, that's another matter... After all, there's no need for me to remember a dead person..."

Minamoto no Raikou snorted coldly, and the sword in his hand, accompanied by lightning, chopped directly towards Esdeath in front of him.

The sword seemed to compress the space and then burst out in one breath, its power was unstoppable.

The lightning rubbed against the air, causing the surrounding space to become scorching hot.

But the next moment, a huge amount of cold air burst out in one breath with Esdeath as the center.

The blade, emitting a strong chill, met the katana, which was flashing with lightning, and then bursts of explosions were heard from it.

A fierce look flashed in Minamoto no Raikou's eyes, and at the same time, arrows were quickly placed on the bowstring.

Lightning wrapped around the arrows, which then cut through the air and flew towards Esdeath in front of them.

"But that's it..."

Esdeath stomped her right foot on the ground, and suddenly, a wall of ice rose from the ground.

The arrow penetrated deeply into the ice wall, and lightning burst out at once, shattering the entire ice wall.

Esdeath frowned slightly, and a dangerous smile appeared on her face. She was indeed a strong enemy.

She was certain that an ice wall of this strength could definitely block the opponent's arrows, but what surprised Esdeath a little was that the energy contained in the opponent's arrows actually shattered the entire ice wall.

It turned out to be an opponent that I valued. It was surprising that he could do this, but I couldn't help but feel surprised.

For Esdeath, the stronger the opponent in front of her, the happier she will be. After all, for a warrior, there is nothing more gratifying than encountering a strong enemy, right?

Once again, Esdeath's feet sank, and the ground caved in slightly. After a sonic boom, Esdeath rushed to Minamoto no Raikou, and swung the sword in her hand towards Minamoto no Raikou without holding back.

It's very simple. There is no need for Esdeath to hold back because the opponent's strength is so strong.

I can't let down my guard... I can't let my guard down even a little bit... Looking at the opponent in front of him, Minamoto no Raikou knew this very well. Otherwise, he would most likely get injured... or even lose... But he couldn't lose.

"cut!"

With the force of thunder, Minamoto no Raikou swung the katana in his hand - Doujikiri Yasutsuna - towards Esdeath.

Although the slash released by Minamoto no Raikou was extremely heavy, Esdeath laughed so happily.

Looking at the battlefield before him, which looked like it had been through a natural disaster or man-made calamity, Koizumi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"This is the battlefield after the battle between top servants... If this happened in your Gensokyo, it would probably cause a big disaster..."

As he said this, Koizumi looked at Reimu Hakurei standing beside him. He knew that Gensokyo had two barriers that separated the inside from the outside world. So if the energy inside was too strong, it would cause problems with the barrier.

So if this kind of battle happened in Gensokyo, I'm afraid something terrible would happen...

"That's why spell card rules are necessary... They can also limit one's own power, right?"

Reimu said as if it was a matter of course.

But even if it's like this, Gensokyo is still bombed every day...isn't that how it is?

Koizumi looked at Reimu in front of him speechlessly. Do you dare to say that Gensokyo doesn't have a nuclear bomb every day?

Although Koizumi has never been to Gensokyo, he can still roughly guess this, because -

What's the difference between the power of Reimu's [Dream Seal] and a nuclear bomb...
