In the distance, a figure trailing a long plu of black smoke flew back swiftly.
It was Chongwen Gumao who was sent flying by a single blow from Shuten-dōji's staff.
He looked sowhat disheveled at the mont.
The pristine white priest's robes were now covered in dust and bloodstains.
His hair was disheveled, and a trace of bright red blood clung to the corner of his mouth.
His face looked extrely pale.
Even an SS-level powerhouse like him, standing at the pinnacle of the Sakura Kingdom, was slightly injured when caught off guard by the full force of his strongest shikigami.
However, the physical pain paled in comparison to the shock, anger, and humiliation he felt at that mont.
When he steadied himself and saw the battlefield below, his cold eyes instantly shrank to pinpoints.
The other powerful shikigami he had summoned, Ōtengu, was being held firmly to the ground by Shuten-dōji.
The enormous spiked club was relentlessly pounding on the Great Tengu's body, like a pile driver.
"boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Each strike caused the earth to tremble violently.
The Great Tengu let out a mournful cry. Its enormous body, made of energy, flickered between light and shadow under Shuten-dōji's ferocious attack, and it was on the verge of completely collapsing.
One's own shikigami is attacking another of one's own shikigami.
This scene was utterly absurd.
Chong Wengu felt a surge of blood rush to his head, and he trembled with rage.
"Shuten-dōji!"
"What are you doing!"
High in the sky, Polina looked at Chongwengu's exasperated appearance with a slight smile.
She didn't even bother with words, simply extending her slender finger and pointing towards the white figure.
The alluring and enchanting voice rang out once more.
"go."
"Kill him."
Upon receiving the order, Shuten-dōji instantly abandoned the dying Ōtengu at his feet.
He suddenly raised his head, his golden vertical pupils, filled with fervor and obsession, fixed intently on the forr "master" in the sky.
"roar--!!!"
A roar filled with violence and murderous intent.
Shuten-dōji's massive body transford into a dark red cannonball, soaring into the sky, his spiked club whipping up a cloud of bloody light as he hurtled straight toward Chongwengumao.
"You dare!"
Chong Wengu's face turned ashen, both shocked and furious.
He never expected that his shikigami would actually betray him completely at this most crucial mont!
This was sothing that had never happened before since he beca a professional!
"You beast! How dare you devour your master!"
Chong Wengu roared angrily, ignoring his injuries, and quickly ford a complex hand seal in front of his chest.
"In my na, I command! Stop now!"
A golden incantation talisman appeared out of thin air, radiating a sacred and majestic aura, and rapidly imprinted itself on Shuten-dōji's brow.
This is the most fundantal soul contract between the Onmyoji and the Shikigami, an absolute command that cannot be disobeyed!
However, just as the golden incantation was about to touch Shuten-dōji...
Polina simply humd softly.
Her purple eyes shone brightly.
A more powerful and purer force of desire, like an invisible tide, instantly enveloped Shuten-dōji's soul.
"Buzz—"
Shuten-dōji's forward montum abruptly halted, a hint of struggle and pain flashing in his golden vertical pupils.
Two completely different wills are colliding wildly deep within his soul.
On one hand, there is the inviolable master-servant contract rooted deep in the soul.
On the other hand, there is the primal desire, amplified infinitely and capable of devouring all reason.
"roar......"
Shuten-dōji clutched his head and let out a low growl of pain.
Upon seeing this, Chong Wengu revealed a cold smile.
"You re ruler of desire dare to show off your limited skills before !"
As a renowned SS-rank Onmyoji, his ntal strength and soul power far surpass those of Polina, a newly promoted SS-rank.
Moreover, he and Shuten-dōji share a fundantal contractual relationship.
He was absolutely confident that he could regain control of his shikigami within a few breaths!
The fanaticism and obsession in Shuten-dōji's eyes were rapidly fading, and he was about to regain his clarity.
It was at this mont.
No one noticed that hundreds of tiny black beetles had silently flown behind Chongwengumao.
By the ti Chong Wengu's keen senses finally detected a hint of danger, it was already too late.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A series of rapid explosions erupted behind him.
Although the explosion was not powerful enough to cause him fatal damage, the enormous impact caused his already severely injured body to stagger.
More importantly, the ntal energy he used to maintain the spell suffered a montary break under this sudden attack.
Damn it!
Chong Wengu let out a curse.
That one-tenth of a second mistake completely determined the course of the battle.
The ntal suppression imposed on Shuten-dōji collapsed instantly.
Polina's power of desire swept in, completely overwhelming Shuten-dōji's last shred of reason.
"roar--!!!"
The last shred of clarity in Shuten-dōji's eyes was replaced by fanaticism.
He let out another deafening roar, and without the slightest hesitation, he slamd the spiked club down on Chong Wengumao, who was right in front of him!
"Bang—!!!"
A deafening roar.
Chong Wengu's disheveled figure, like a bird shot down, was slamd hard into the ground below by Shuten-dōji's staff from high above.
The earth trembled violently, and a bottomless crater appeared in the ruins of the city.
"Polina!"
From afar, Zhou Huai, controlling Caesar, roared:
"Now's the ti! Let Shuten-dōji attack that golden cocoon in the sky!"
Upon hearing this, Polina imdiately nodded.
She raised her hand and pointed towards the enormous cocoon in the city center, radiating endless golden light.
"go!"
Smash it!
Having received the order, Shuten-dōji didn't even glance at the deep crater he had created below.
He suddenly turned around, his massive body transforming into a streak of light, rushing towards the golden cocoon at top speed.
He raised the spiked club high in his hand, pouring all his demonic power into it.
Dark red light swirled wildly across the spiked club, emanating a terrifying aura capable of tearing space apart.
The next second.
"Aww!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar.
The spiked club, which contained all of Shuten-dōji's power, slamd heavily onto the golden cocoon!
"clang--!!!!!"
A tallic clang, loud enough to shatter eardrums, resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
A terrifying energy shockwave swept outwards in all directions like a tsunami.
The city ruins below were plowed once more by the shockwave, and countless remaining buildings were completely reduced to dust.
However.
To everyone's astonishnt...
Despite enduring such a terrifying blow, the giant golden cocoon didn't even flinch.
Not even the slightest crack appeared.
It was as if that earth-shattering blow was just a gentle breeze.
Just then.
A cold, mocking laugh slowly emanated from the giant golden cocoon.
It was filled with endless mockery.
"A bunch of pathetic ants."
"With your paltry tricks, you dare to try and stop my resurrection?"
"How... ridiculously naive!"
