Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

However, the square ball of demonic energy turned into ice in mid-air and then quickly dissipated.

Without a doubt, it was the Snow Woman who made the move.

"So R cards really can't beat SR cards?"

It was rare for Kyosuke Kousaka to have a mental interruption.

Although R, SR, SSR, SP, etc. do not necessarily refer to strength, but rather to rarity.

Rarity largely represents the uniqueness of power.

The frog porcelain, which used ordinary demonic power to attack, was instantly crushed by the snow woman's ice-attribute attack.

But if Yaodao-hime and Shiro come over...

The former, by combining the demon sword with swordsmanship, can easily unleash a single strike to kill a powerful demon.

The latter can also use a powerful bow combined with archery skills to deliver a fatal arrow.

Therefore, mastering technical skills is indeed very important.

With a sigh, Kyosuke Kosaka summoned several talismans he carried with him.

A surge of spiritual energy erupted and transformed into a giant bird that lunged at the Great Tengu, who dodged it with a swift movement.

The giant bird of spiritual power instantly engulfed the Rain Woman, and then she was quickly transported to Kousaka Kyosuke's side.

Kyosuke Kosaka waved and sent the Rain Woman to the Frog Porcelain.

The giant spiritual bird in front of him confronted the Great Tengu.

"Come, let me show you the power I have to control the storm!"

The Great Tengu, who had noticed Kousaka Kyosuke long ago, revealed a haughty smile and waved an exquisite fan made of feathers in his hand.

A violent gale arose, and endless, swirling demonic wind blades rushed toward Kousaka Kyosuke!

"I come."

The strong wind made everyone's clothes flutter, but Kousaka Kyosuke suddenly realized that the attack was aimed at him personally.

Those like Su Yi, Su Chang, Kagura, and even the frog porcelain and the rain woman are all outside the attack range.

All I can say is that most of the monsters in the world of Onmyoji have a very high moral standard.

They just have a bit of a quirky thought process.

Taking a step forward, Kyosuke Kousaka raised his hand and cast a spell, causing wisps of mist to appear around the giant bird formed from spiritual energy in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, raging flames erupted!

A Vermilion Bird engulfed in flames swooped down fiercely at the incoming wind blade tornado!

tearing~

The intensely burning flames powerfully tore the tornado in two, the long trail of flames stretching out like a shooting star...

—The Vermilion Bird strikes directly at the Great Tengu!

"Useless indeed," the Snow Woman muttered softly from the sidelines.

Then he summoned the blizzard that he had prepared earlier with his demonic power to protect the Great Tengu.

As if the snow of midwinter, capable of freezing everything, suddenly erupted and rushed towards the Vermilion Bird!

tearing~

The ever-increasing crimson flames easily tore apart the firestorm—no, they melted it!

The silver-blue background, like a curtain, was quickly dissolved and cleaned up.

The weakened Vermilion Bird continued its journey, but the Snow Woman forcefully summoned a blizzard to obliterate it...

The Ōtengu, who had been saved by the Yuki-onna and then reprimanded, twitched almost imperceptibly on his cold face.

The snow woman faced off calmly against Kousaka Kyosuke, without saying a word.

For some reason, Kyosuke Kosaka felt an overwhelming sense of embarrassment.

"Kyosuke, your strength truly deserves the praise of Lord Kuro Seimei."

"Oh."

Kyosuke Kosaka responded.

Just as they were about to have others block the two monsters' escape route from behind.

A dark purple figure appeared beside the two monsters like a ghost.

"Lord Black Seimei!"

The Great Tengu let out a voice full of excitement and exhilaration, his face filled with admiration and respect.

The newcomer was a handsome man dressed in a dark purple hunting robe with purple paint on his face.

It's Kuro Seimei.

Next, a tool that caused trouble for Kyoto.

Kyosuke Kosaka pondered the possibility of capturing the three.

Kuro Seimei spoke first.

"Kyosuke, it seems you're destined to cause me trouble."

"That's right, why don't you stay and fight me? Let's settle things with a victory or defeat, shall we?"

"Hehehe... When darkness engulfs Kyoto, we can fight to the death as many times as we want, hahaha—"

The laughter gradually subsided, and the darkness did not envelop Kyoto, but instead enveloped Kuro Seimei, Ōtengu, and Yuki-onna.

Kyosuke Kousaka's eyelids twitched, but he ultimately didn't try to stop them.

They discovered that Kuro Seimei's body was integrated with the surrounding yin energy, and he left in a bizarre manner with two shikigami.

He noticed that this guy's escape methods seemed to be a bit more sophisticated than before...

Is this to guard against him?

They're really putting in a lot of effort.

They must have upgraded their escape techniques!

This time, it'll probably be difficult to even catch a glimpse of the hem of their clothes.

"Lord Kyosuke, aren't we going to leave those two monsters here?"

While both Su Chang and Kuro Seimei discovered that Kuro Seimei's escape method was not simple, Su Chang only mentioned the more plausible aspects.

Su Yi frowned as she looked at her younger sister, hesitant to speak.

Kousaka Kyosuke quickly composed himself and smiled at Su Chang.

"If I capture his shikigami today, he'll capture mine tomorrow. This will never end!"

"……what."

Su Shang understood instantly.

The words were so straightforward that it would be hard not to understand them.

Kyosuke Kosaka added, "Let's check the condition of the underworld rift first. Be careful."

They immediately followed the direction of the heavy yin energy, with Su Yi, Su Chang, and Kagura following behind.

The rain woman rescued by Kyosuke Kousaka, and the frog porcelain that restored her with its demonic power, were both ignored.

The two monsters were also sensible.

Seeing that Kousaka Kyosuke ignored her, he didn't say anything more.

A quarter of an hour later.

Kyosuke Kosaka reinforced the barrier and set up a sensory barrier. After exchanging a few words with the Rain Woman, he left with his people.

If the Rain Woman wants to wait for her husband, then let her wait; it's a good opportunity to guard this place.

I remember in the original story, her husband seemed to be wandering around in some remote corner, and the underworld messengers would soon bring people over.

Things will eventually turn out well.

evening.

Back at his lodgings, Kyosuke Kousaka started talking about Kuro Seimei while taking a bath.

I can't keep quiet, since we've all run into them, and they're all very tight-lipped anyway.

Furthermore, Kyosuke Kousaka was merely revealing information that Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Fujiwara no Michitsuna already knew, so there was nothing wrong with it.

It's always better to know something than to know nothing at all.

Kyosuke Kosaka understood that many of his companions in the inner palace still had reservations, but he simply kept those feelings to himself.

Therefore, it would be better to briefly reveal some information about the situation.

Considering that the various major crises that Kyoto may face in the future might actually require cultivating a strong heart, I feel even more compelled to discuss this further.

"...Has this great Onmyoji already turned into an evil villain?" Nino asked with a subtle expression.
