Chapter 9: The Battle of Kyoto (Part II)
"Salute! This is not born, if it comes, the great vow, the void is phaseless, and the fate is returned! Fudo Myowang! β
"Soul Scattering Iron Claw!"
Rumble......
Ampere's near-moon and Inuyasha's voices sounded almost at the same time, but! It's almost as if it's been calculated, Inuyasha's attack has just reached the sky above Ampere's Nearmoon, and Ampere's Nearmoon's Body Protection Spell has been completed.
The claw, which was enough to tear through the air, slammed into the shield less than ten centimeters away from Ampere's moon, and let out a fierce roar. The forces of good and evil confronted each other, and the dazzling light was like the fury of heavenly thunder in the friction and confrontation, just a trace of power leaked out, and the corridor of the outer gate of the shrine was blown to pieces, and it became a ruin in a blink of an eye. The huge pressure also shook the floor under Ampere's feet, and from a distance, it seemed as if he was standing in a circular circle of light floating in the air.
Sneer......
The first one who couldn't support it turned out to be Inuyasha!
At the place where Inuyasha and Ampere's body protection aperture came into contact and confrontation, a golden light slowly penetrated from Ampere's near-moon's white spiritual power, and the demonic power that had had gained a slight upper hand and slowly overwhelmed Ampere's near-moon spiritual power was counterattacked, and the demonic power that came into contact with the golden light was directly purified into pure spiritual power, and then absorbed by the pentagram.
And Inuyasha also felt that his right claw, which was comparable to a divine weapon, also produced a burning pain as if it was burned by fire when it came into contact with the strange golden light, and this feeling was exactly the same as the power of the two talismans and charms last time with Gomaegawa, no, it was even more powerful than that time. After all, this time it was Inuyasha's all-out blow after a three-year hiatus.
"Damn!"
Realizing that his demonic power was indeed unable to resist the golden light, Inuyasha immediately stopped in time, flipped upside down, and returned to the same place.
"What kind of power is that?"
Inuyasha glanced at his scarred right paw, and with a twist of demonic power, he instantly restored it to an intact state. Three years was enough time for him to take his control of his power to a higher level. Coupled with the fact that he has learned all kinds of hidden spells in the hermit land, his physical body has gone further, reaching the limit of blood like mercury and qi like rainbow, just waiting for him to become an adult, he can break through the last boundary and take the last step that he did not take in his previous life. Now this kind of Cheng dΓΉ's injury, as long as it does not hurt the real body of the muscles and bones, only relying on its own recovery power, it is only a matter of a matter of a minute or two, using demon power, the effect is just like just now, instant recovery.
"Using demonic power to suppress the spiritual power that restrains its own evil energy is still the power of the Onmyoji! Half-demon, you're the first! β
Ampere's expression also became extremely heavy, and the quality of the other party's demon power was even stronger than his own, which made him a little unacceptable for a while. If there is no Eight Mirrors, thinking of this, Ampere can't help but feel glad for his prudence in recent months. The eyes also involuntarily glanced at the eight-point mirror held on his right hand.
"Sure enough, it's the power of the Eight Mirrors! Ha ha...... I'm getting more and more fond of it! β
The power of an artifact is not something that anyone can grasp lightly. Inuyasha has already seen that Ampere is using his own power to control the artifact Yaga Mirror, and it was like that just now! It was just an artifact's counterattack in the face of its own attack! You only need to attack with a long-range method by yourself, like a cracked tooth spike, and Ampere can't support it for long in recent months.
Looking at the annoying pentagram in the sky, Inuyasha also understood his true intentions at this time, its main role was not to protect the aftermath of the battle between them and cause damage to the palace, but to provide Ampei with the spiritual power to drive the Eight Mirrors.
I'm here to see how long you can last!
Inuyasha sneered, his hands in the sky, a finger like a modern cannon barrel, freehand playing elegant music in the air, dancing rapidly. Suddenly, a series of purple light bullets slammed into the pentagram array in the air, emitting bursts of explosive roars. In an instant, the pressure on the onmyoji mages and witches who maintained the magic circle outside the palace increased suddenly, and some of the weaker spiritual powers directly spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground limply.
"That's amazing!"
Outside the palace, Gomaegawa, who accompanied the emperor and his entourage, looked at the crumbling pentagram in the sky that was bombarded, and his fear of Inuyasha deepened.
"Gozen, is he sure that he will defeat that youkai?"
The emperor, who was sitting on the side, also clearly saw the vision above the shrine, and for the first time in his heart, he felt a sense of unease, and he couldn't help but lean in and ask.
"Master is the strongest Onmyoji, and with the power of the artifact Eight Mirrors, he can definitely defeat that half-demon!"
"That's good...... Hey? What about Nanako? β
After receiving the Emperor's comforting words, the emperor's nervous heart finally calmed down a little, and when he looked back, he realized that his favorite daughter, Nanako, was gone.
This immediately startled him and immediately stood up from his seat.
"Has anyone seen Princess Nanako!"
All the ministers and attendants and palace maids all looked left and right, and the back looked at each other, shaking their heads to indicate that they didn't know, just now they were attracted by the huge explosion just now, just like the emperor and the imperial courtier, and no one paid attention to the little princess Nanako, who was only eight years old.
Don't......
Everyone remembered the character of the little princess, as well as her reaction to being forcibly dragged out just now, and they all looked in the direction of the shrine below the pentagram, and the same answer appeared in their hearts.
Just when everyone outside was having a headache for the bold little princess Nanako, the battle inside was also raging. Seeing the five-pointed star circle that was crumbling under attack, Amp Pei couldn't sit still in recent months. Several spirit runes carrying golden flames attacked Inuyasha under his spell, and at the same time, Ampei also summoned several powerful Shura-style gods, although they are not as good as the legendary former ghosts and later ghosts, but their strength is also comparable to the top level of high-level monsters. In this kind of battle, in addition to distracting Inuyasha's attention, and delaying Ampere as a meat shield for the near moon, it doesn't play much role in the real battle situation at all.
"Old immortal, do you only have this means? In that case, you better hand me over the Eight Mirrors as soon as possible, and then let me go to your treasure room for a while, or don't blame me for being rude!" β
After a series of bombardments, the spiritual power forbidden by the pentagram has slowly collapsed, and the oppressive feeling of Inuyasha has disappeared, and his body dexterously dodges Ampere's talisman, and at the same time, his ten fingers are flying, shooting wildly in the void, and occasionally mixed with a pillar of light, which hits the circular enchantment outside Ampere's near-moon, forcing him to move, and he can only use the spell to fight back.
It's a pity that Inuyasha's speed is too fast, even if the charm is locked on the pursuer Inuyasha under Ampey's spiritual sense, but with Inuyasha's speed, the old Ampey Nearmoon can't catch it at all, every time he has obviously attacked, it's just a phantom, and it hits the earth and walls by mistake, but it wastes his spell and spiritual power.
Ten minutes passed, and Ampere had begun to run out of breath in recent months. The Shikigami that he used to delay time were also blown into pieces of paper by Inuyasha's unintentional attack, scattered all over the ground like a layer of snowflakes.
"Hmph, don't you think about it! I hereby invite you to descend to the gods and all the true people, bind the ghosts and subdue the evils, and eliminate the ghosts, as urgent as the law! Ten Thousand Demons - Submission! β
The most troublesome thing for the Onmyoji is those small but fast and defensive monsters. Because Onmyoji's spells require the chanting of spells, and the more powerful the spell, the longer the spell. And the speed is not very fast, and it requires the divine mind of the Onmyoji to control it, but if even the controller's own eyes can't catch up with the enemy's figure, then no matter how strong the move is, it is useless.
That's why Ampere has been on the defensive since the beginning of recent months. The battle between monsters and monsters, especially when it has reached the top level and even the realm of big monsters, the huge demon body not only means great strength, strong defense, and the attack power is also earth-shattering. Therefore, youkai generally like to fight with their main body. And against humans, especially demon slayers such as onmyoji, mage, and shrine maidens, changing into human form is the best way for them to fight the enemy.
Just like Inuyasha now!
Although Ampere is not the owner of the Eight Mirrors, he can still use some of its power after all, just like the golden flame just now. Because he knew that although his current strongest spell could indeed hit Inuyasha hard, however, it had to be hit well, and the pentagram was originally prepared for this, protecting the palace and providing spiritual power, but it was secondary. If you can't completely defeat Inuyasha, then no matter how good the protection is, no matter how much spiritual power you have, it will be useless in the end.
It's a pity that although Inuyasha didn't see through Ampere's true intentions, he knew one of its uses, and with his own inhuman speed, he directly ignored Ampere's attack and directly bombarded the pentagram, making Ampere's plan completely come to naught.
If you don't make a move, it's really too late, and while the pentagram is still there, Ampere can't care about whether the current pentagram's power can suppress Inuyasha. Ampere Jinyue's spell containing a huge amount of spiritual power instantly drained the power of his whole body, and even the Eight Mirrors in his hand became dim because he had lost the source of spiritual power. Only that faint glimmer of golden light still wrapped Ampere Jinyue's body, which seemed to age in an instant.
"Ready to fight?"
Seeing Ampere's movements in the near month, Inuyasha also knew that the other party couldn't hold on. But it's really surprising that with such an old human body, he actually fought with himself for more than ten minutes. And every time he accurately attacks his own afterimage, he can always follow closely behind him. Unfortunately, the human body is still too weak.
Inuyasha had already noticed the abnormality at this time, but he didn't care too much about his own force, he didn't come here to kill people, but for the artifact Yaga Mirror and the Emperor's collection. Everything else, it's irrelevant.
"Old fellow, give me the Eight Mirrors!"
An even more huge demonic aura burst out from Inuyasha's body, overwhelmingly pressing towards Ampey Nearmoon, although the power of the artifact is indeed a step higher than Inuyasha's level, and it is also inherently restrained Inuyasha's demonic power, but unfortunately at this time, Ampey Nearmoon has concentrated all his spiritual power into the spell that is ready to prepare, and the spiritual power channel of the pentagram was also interrupted by Inuyasha just now.
However, under Inuyasha's huge demonic power, it is just a source of water, and it won't last long! Now it's up to Ampere to finish the spell first, or Inuyasha to break the barrier first and kill Ampere Moon.
Win or lose, in one fell swoop! G
