I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"Master Lu Sheng! What exactly happened here? What did Abe Haruaki do again?"

Having found some free time in his busy schedule, Nura Rikuo began to deal with the Nura clan monsters that arrived later, while several Onmyojis of the Hanakaiin family looked at the mythical battle in the sky and were deeply shocked by it.

Only one person blinked his confused eyes when he saw one of the figures splitting the sky.

"That guy over there...why does he look so much like Mr. Limbo?"

"Yuzuro?"

Attracted by Hanakaiin Yuura's casual remark, Nura Rikuo walked over step by step, "You know that Limbo..."

"Hey! Dirty youkai, you're too close to Yuura."

Hanakaiin Yuura's brother, Hanakaiin Ryuji, stood in front of Nura Rikuo with a fierce look on his face, "Get out of my way, or I'll kill you right here."

"What is this Onmyoji kid talking about?!"

"How dare you disrespect the Sandaime!"

"He's just a young boy, and he dares to speak so arrogantly after learning a few Yin-Yang techniques!"

Ryuji Hanakaiin's somewhat extreme words directly provoked the anger of the Nura clan monsters. If it weren't for Nura Rikuo and a few calmer cadres, they might have already started fighting.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! My brother just doesn't know how to speak, he didn't mean any harm."

"Alright, alright, we're allies now. Are we suddenly starting a fight with each other to make our enemies laugh?"

Hanakaiin Yuura took the initiative to apologize on behalf of Hanakaiin Ryuji, and with Nura Rikuo's words, the monsters calmed down.

Perhaps there was another reason... that was that the two people fighting overhead put too much pressure on them. The stars streaking across the sky and the surging, sneering black sea made them have no mood to fight each other.

Hanakaiin Ryuji smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, neither agreeing nor denying what Hanakaiin Yuura said.

After calming down all the monsters with his words, Nura Rikuo, who was still injured, looked at Hanakaiin Yuura with a serious expression.

"Yuura, do you know the guy over there fighting Abe Haruaki?"

"Eh?"

Hanakaiin Yuura showed a look of surprise, then stammered, "No... maybe I made a mistake? He's so different from the man I know. Maybe they just look alike?"

Obviously, Nura Rikuo was not very accepting of Hanakaiin Yuura's answer, and his expression became more serious.

"But I heard you call out the other person's name, Limbo, with my own ears. That's what he called himself in front of us."

Nura Rikuo's words stunned Hanakaiin Yuura, and she even looked up in disbelief.

What did I just hear? That onmyoji brother, who's a bit of a prankster but generally kind and gentle, actually has the same name as that man in heaven who's more like a monster than a monster, more like a villain than Abe Haruaki, and who, from every angle, is the ultimate boss in the script, the world-destroying demon king?

So weird, take another look...

"Seimei—! Seimei—! Seimei—! Die miserably like a wounded kitten abandoned in an alley on a rainy day! Die like a pumpkin torn apart and rotting on the ground! Savor this despair and regret to your heart's content, and become the rotten flesh on my fingernails! Huhuhuhuhuhu... Hahahahahaha!!"

"..."

Hanakaiin Yuura opened her eyes wide, stood there in silence for a full ten seconds, and then a smile without any smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"What? It's just the same name after all. How could Mr. Limbo be that kind of lunatic? Mr. Limbo is so pitiful, actually having the same name as that kind of lunatic... Uwaaaaaaaa!"

"I told you long ago that Limbo was very suspicious, and you still didn't believe it."

Feeling very disappointed with someone, Hanakaiin Ryuji rubbed Hanakaiin Yuura's hair fiercely, and then said with great dissatisfaction: "It's really frustrating that my sister was deceived by someone other than me... When will you, idiot, be smarter and give me some peace of mind?"

"Is that something a brother should say? How can a brother talk to his sister like that?"

Hanakaiin Yuura angrily slapped Hanakaiin Ryuji's hand away and glared at him angrily, "Compared to you, Mr. Limbo is obviously much more considerate!"

"Still doubting reality? That's why I called you a hopeless idiot. That's obviously the Limbo you knew over there. Were you dreaming the entire time you were in class? You don't even remember what the word 'Limbo' means? How could you possibly be a good person with that name?"

"Gu..."

It was really too difficult for Hanakaiin Yuura to want to win over Hanakaiin Ryuji in verbal combat. After a while, Hanakaiin Yuura was left speechless by Hanakaiin Ryuji.

Although he saw the resentful expression of Hanakaiin Yuura, Hanakaiin Ryuji looked away indifferently and turned to speak to Nura Rikuo.

"Hey! Monsters, what's going on here? Why are you all gathered here? Why aren't you fighting Nue? Do you know the identity of the imposter who is fighting Nue now?"

Ryuji Hanakaiin's tone was clearly not "friendly". It was as bad as if he was interrogating a prisoner. Although Nura Rikuo frowned slightly, he showed a strange expression when the other party asked about Limbo's identity.

"That Limbo...his real name seems to be Ashiya Doman."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

More and more eyes were focused on Nura Rikuo, and the source of their attention were all the Onmyoji of the Hanakaiin family.

Ryuji Hanakaiin's expression, as if the whole world owed him money, froze on his face, and it was not until a long while later that he opened his mouth tremblingly.

"You said...who?"

563

Chapter 563: Hanakaiin Ryuji: You said he is our ancestor? I don’t believe it!

Ashiya Doman, a great Onmyoji of the Heian period, although he was defeated most of the time in battles with Abe Haruaki, no one would underestimate him and regarded him as a powerful Onmyoji second only to Abe Haruaki.

At the same time, Ashiya Doman is also the ancestor of the Hanakaiin family, and the feud between Hanakaiin and Gomonin also originated from Ashiya Doman and Abe Haruaki.

"You lying monster, are you trying to deceive people again?"

Hanakaiin Ryuji's attitude became worse.

This is not difficult to understand. If someone points to an evil and scary monster and says to you, "This is your ancestor", the key is that the ancestor he is talking about is a highly respected person in your family and is admired by the younger generations. If you don't punch the other person directly, you have a good temper.

Yes, what is most difficult for Hanakaiin Ryuji to accept is not that his ancestor suddenly came back to life. After all, there is the precedent of Abe Haruaki, an old monster from the Heian period a thousand years ago. In addition, he has seen successive heads of the Hanakaiin family, including Hanakaiin Hidemoto. Even if someone really stands in front of him one day and claims to be their ancestor Ashiya Doman, he can accept it... But if you say that the evil spirit who is more like a villain than Abe Haruaki is their Hanakaiin family's ancestor Ashiya Doman, then there will be a big problem.

It was not just Hanakaiin Ryuji who held this attitude. All the members of the Hanakaiin family present looked at Nura Rikuo with unfriendly eyes, which gave people reason to suspect that Nura Rikuo did not get stabbed in the back because he was a little far away from these people.

Keenly sensing the sharpness and malice of those gazes, Nura Rikuo couldn't help but smack his lips.

"The thing is...I didn't say that, did I? It was Abe Haruaki himself who said it, calling out Ashiya Doman's name, and Limbo also acknowledged it directly."

Perhaps because he felt his words were somewhat unconvincing, Nura Rikuo decisively pulled everyone present and said, "They were all there! They heard it all! If you don't believe me, ask them."

However, Hanakaiin Ryuji snorted disdainfully.

"Hmph! You can't trust what monsters say. As the boss of the monsters, it's easy for you to make these monsters with no moral principles lie for you, right?"

Before Nura Rikuo and the monsters behind him could start to attack, a roar much louder than thunder resounded above their heads. Everyone could feel the anger and hysteria of the owner of the voice, and everyone felt the bones and internal organs in their bodies trembling, either severely or slightly, because of the roar.

"Ashiya Doman! I will kill you! I will completely crush your flesh into dust and scatter it into the deepest part of the universe!"

"Can you only howl like a mad stray dog ​​whose bones have been taken away? Powerless and helpless! Poor, weak, and cowardly! Make me happier! Wake up my appetite! Summon the ghosts and gods! Laugh at this world where you can't survive without going crazy and making mistakes! Huhuhuhu... Hahahahahahahahaha!"

The pure light of the stars fell to the ground like a curtain, and a sea of ​​​​dirty black mud obscured the sky and surged.

The sea of ​​chaos and the starry sky are upside down, losing their direction and rising and falling repeatedly.

Everyone looked up, and just one glance at the pitch-black mud made them feel nauseous and dizzy, as if some of their vitality had been robbed.

Besides this... everyone in Hanakaiin also felt a strong sense of unreality, especially Hanakaiin Ryuji, who felt a burning pain on his face, as if he had just been slapped hard.

"So, this is why you summoned me again?"

A man without feet was floating in the air, like a ghost.

Or maybe... he is a ghost.

The man is Hanakaiin Hidemoto, the most outstanding of all the Hanakaiin family heads, and also the Onmyoji who helped Nurarihyon defeat Yuyuko.

It was he who forged the evil-breaking sword that defeated Yuyuko, it was he who set up the barrier that protected the entire Kyoto, and it was he who created the seal that suppressed the great monsters of Kyoto, including the Tsuchigumo.

Among all the successive heads of the Hanakaiin family who were summoned as Shikigami, only Hanakaiin Hidemoto could appear in human form, while the other heads all appeared in the form of skeletons, which also proved that Hanakaiin Hidemoto was extraordinary in strength.

"I'm sorry, Ancestor."

A Hanakaiin Yin-Yang master bowed respectfully to Hanakaiin Hidemoto and said, "We are sorry to have disturbed your rest for such a trivial reason, but we are really concerned about it, so..."

"No, although I did tell you not to disturb me on such a cold day and let me get some sleep, but this incident is really interesting so I don't care at all!"

With a smile on his face, Hanakaiin Hidemoto shows no trace of the seriousness and dignity that a person who has lived for hundreds of years should have.

Unlike his serious and somewhat old-fashioned brother, Hanakaiin Hidemoto always acts in a frivolous manner in front of others.

"But even if you ask me, I won't get an answer."

With a sly fox-like grin on his face, Hanakaiin Hidemoto shrugged helplessly, "I'm only the thirteenth head of the Hanakaiin clan. There's a six hundred year gap between me and the time when Ashiya Doman was active. How would I know what that person was like? You'd have to ask the previous heads of the clan... though it seems you haven't had the chance to ask them."

After glancing at everyone present, Hanakaiin Hidemoto suddenly changed the subject.

"But...actually, there's no need for you to seek confirmation, right?"

Hanakaiin Hidemoto glanced up at the fierce battlefield and said leisurely, "As a great onmyoji who was also active during the Heian period, the personal confession of Abe Haruaki... should be more convincing than anyone else's testimony, right?"

Everyone in Huakaiyuan was speechless after hearing what Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan said. They could only look at each other in silence, and they could see the complex emotions in each other's eyes.

"Yes, you know this in your hearts, but... you can't accept reality. You can't accept that the great Onmyoji you've always admired, who is on par with Abe Haruaki, has reappeared in this state, right?"

The quick-witted Hanakaiin Hidemoto immediately saw the concerns in these people's hearts and directly exposed this.

Abe Haruaki was at a disadvantage in the battle with Ashiya Doman. The Fantasy Tree flowing with starlight not only had cracks one after another, but was also entangled in countless cursed flames on its branches.

"What a joke! What a joke! Asshole! My ideals, my long-cherished wishes... are the future this world will eventually embrace! I am the winner chosen by fate!"

Abe Haruaki was so furious that his blood vessels almost burst and his lungs almost exploded.

I absolutely won't allow this! My ideal, my destination, is so close at hand. How could I possibly fail at this crucial moment?

Under the protection of the Fantasy Tree, Abe Haruaki glanced at Nura Rikuo and the Hanakaiin family gathered together. The fire of anger filled his chest, almost devouring all his reason.

"It's not enough. The power stored in the Imagination Tree is not enough... If my Imagination Tree truly blooms, I can destroy any foreign god like Ashiya Doman with a snap of my fingers!"

We must...we must find some way to speed up the growth of the Fantasy Tree.

While Abe Haruaki was thinking about this, he caught a glimpse of Hanakaiin Onmyoji and other monsters who had gathered below and joined Nura Rikuo by overcoming the obstacles of the Gomonin family.

"Those rubbish!"

Abe Haruaki was enraged, his chest heaving violently from taking deep breaths.

"As my descendants of Abe Haruaki... yet they can't even do such a small thing. They can't even stop a few ants and a few ordinary soldiers! What a waste of Abe Haruaki's blood flowing in their bodies!"

As he spoke, as if venting his anger, Abe Haruaki raised his hand and pressed slightly towards the void. The next moment, the fantasy tree behind him began to burst out with starlight, and beams of extremely dazzling artillery fire crossed the galaxy and fell straight towards Nura Rikuo and the others.

Don't think that Ashiya Doman deals with these light cannons so easily. In fact, the energy contained in each of these light cannons is enough to kill a senior big monster more than ten times. Even if the big monster is touched by the aftermath, it will suffer serious damage.

Naturally, the crowd fell into panic.

"Ah! It's coming...towards us!"

"We're going to die! We have to die! There's no way to stop this or dodge it! We're doomed!"

"Mom! I want mom!"

"Wow, wow, wow... I haven't even gotten married yet! I don't want to die!"

There were also some calmer people who wanted to organize a defense, but they knew in their hearts that even if all of them and all the monsters worked together, it would be difficult to effectively defend against these artillery attacks.

"Ugh, uh, uh, uh! This is really... inaction, useless, reckless, and unseemly! You actually extended your butcher knife to the helpless masses. Qingming, you have fallen."

Suddenly, countless strange talisman papers with an eye painted on them flew in from nowhere and gathered together. The saturated bombardment condensed by the light of the stars was split into two parts after hitting the talisman papers, just like a sea current hitting a reef, and the talisman papers also spontaneously combusted as if their power was consumed.

"Alive...alive?"

"That was just now..."

Most people have not yet recovered from the situation of being on the verge of death, but Nura Rikuo and the others immediately locked onto the figure in the crowd that exuded a sinister and malicious look.

"Limbo...no, Ashiya Michitoshi!"

"Mmm, mmm, mmm! I am very satisfied with your reaction. Your difficulty in adapting, the pleasure is as sweet as candy."

Ashiya Doman smiled slightly. "Although saving people doesn't suit a villain like me, it's completely different if it means causing trouble for that bastard Qingming. I will gladly accept it. I can't help but laugh out loud with joy."

The person who suddenly appeared in the crowd was Ashiya Doman.

Perhaps because of the terrifying strength and immense malice displayed by Ashiya Doman, after he appeared, everyone around him dodged quickly as if they were burned by fire, leaving a large space around Ashiya Doman empty.

However, Ashiya Doman didn't care about these people's fearful reactions, and just looked at Nura Rikuo with a smile.

"Aren't you fighting Abe Haruaki?"

Nura Rikuo looked up at the battlefield and found that there was a man named Ashiya Doman wearing black clothes, like a god of evil. The clothes of the Ashiya Doman in front of him were the same as those he knew.

"This one over here is of course a shikigami, just like when we dealt with the Hyakumonogatari group. Mmmmmmm... I'm still very confident in my shikigami. Even if it means using a shikigami to replace the original body and cheat death, I can do it. Huhuhuhu!"

Nura Rikuo nodded, showing understanding.
