High above Tokyo Jujutsu High, dusa was moving at high speed like a pure white teor.
"First squad, continue pursuit! Fourth squad, intercept her!"
Hakuzosu stood at the highest point, continuously directing his Tengu shikigami to intercept her, attempting to shoot dusa down.
Initially, Hakuzosu wanted to engage dusa in a one-on-one duel.
However, dusa rely glanced at him before riding away on a Pegasus that was clearly no ordinary creature.
At first, Hakuzosu thought she was a coward, fearful at heart.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he commanded his troops to attack, dusa flew in like a teor, quickly scattering their formation.
dea, who followed closely behind, had already set up an anti-aircraft artillery position using Cursed Techniques.
On the ground, disguised trees, buildings, one by one, pre-arranged magic circles appeared, and countless magic projectiles shot into the sky.
"All personnel, scatter!"
Hakuzosu brandished the giant spear Dakini in his hand, and a howling gale intercepted a large number of magic projectiles.
The surrounding Tengu shikigami also took the opportunity to disperse, evading the magic projectiles shot from the ground with fast and flexible movents.
Just then, dusa returned.
Stakes with chains shot out, instantly impaling several Tengu shikigami.
dusa pulled hard with her right hand, and the chains instantly flew back and wrapped around the impaled Tengu.
dusa looked at the weapon in her hand, which resembled a teor hamr, with satisfaction, then steered Pegasus with her left hand and began controlling the trajectory of the teor hamr with her right.
Pegasus galloped freely through the air, and dusa, leveraging Pegasus's speed and the inertia from its turns, maximized the power of the teor hamr in her hand.
Several Tengu ford a small squad and, after dodging the magic projectiles fired from the ground, charged toward the magic position.
The next second, a giant teor hamr appeared before them.
"Get out of the way!"
"No, we can't dodge it."
The terrifying speed of Pegasus endowed the Tengu teor hamr with extrely terrifying power.
The mont they were hit, the bones of several Tengu shattered, and they were almost flattened into pulp.
The Tengu troops, who had originally maintained their formation and advanced and retreated in order, were now completely chaotic.
"Don't panic, everyone, line up!"
Hakuzosu raised the giant spear Dakini in his hand and shouted, beginning to command the many Tengu shikigami below to reform their ranks.
Hearing Hakuzosu's voice, the Tengu imdiately reford their ranks according to their previous combat situations.
"Very good! Squads one to five, co with and capture that woman! The other squads, in pairs, use javelins and Cursed Techniques to crush the resistance on the ground.
The enemy's positions are immobile targets. Shatter them all with your exquisite archery and sharp javelins!"
After speaking, Hakuzosu flapped his wings and charged toward dusa, leading the way.
A fierce wind howled behind Hakuzosu, continuously increasing his speed.
But Hakuzosu quickly discovered a serious problem.
He could not catch up to dusa at all.
The power of Pegasus, which dusa rode, once again rose in Hakuzosu's estimation.
A thought suddenly rose in Hakuzosu's heart.
He wanted to capture this woman alive and then offer Pegasus to Lord Seii.
As for whether Abe no Seii could use it?
In Hakuzosu's view, Pegasus was a shikigami summoned by dusa.
As long as it was a shikigami, Abe no Seii could control it.
Domination, plunder, creation, anything related to shikigami, Abe no Seii could achieve it.
This was Hakuzosu's confidence in Abe no Seii, and also the confidence of the hundreds of demons under his command.
Thus, a hunt began.
Hakuzosu led his five Tengu squads to encircle, pursue, and intercept from all directions.
dusa quickly abandoned the teor hamr, which could break formations but also slowed her down, and began to entangle with Hakuzosu's troops.
Aerial combat was far more flexible and complex than ground combat, and dusa, who descended as a cavalryman, wielded stakes with chains, which had limited lethality.
This ant dusa's most powerful offensive thod in aerial combat was Pegasus beneath her.
However, Pegasus was a gentle child and disliked killing.
dusa, equally gentle, did not want to force it.
But at this mont, killing was necessary.
dusa controlled Pegasus to make a sharp turn in the air, shaking off two Tengu squads that were blocking her, and then charged toward Hakuzosu.
Hakuzosu snorted coldly, flapping his wings to change direction.
Hakuzosu was a sowhat rigid shikigami. If an enemy accepted his challenge at the outset, he would engage in a one-on-one duel with the enemy.
Even if he died, he would not allow his subordinates to interfere.
If his subordinates dared to intervene when he was about to die by the enemy's blade, Hakuzosu would even send them flying, then sit down and wait for the victor to cut off his head.
However, dusa did not accept his duel invitation at the beginning.
So what was happening now was not a battle of honor between warriors, but a war.
Since it was a war, Hakuzosu was a general of an army and naturally would not foolishly engage the enemy in a duel.
Commanding his troops was a general's most important duty.
Moreover, if he foolishly engaged the enemy in a duel and died, the morale of the army would suffer a huge blow.
"Your Pegasus is indeed a divine steed, but!"
Hakuzosu suddenly flapped his wings, his body abruptly flying to the side for a distance.
Pegasus flew past him, and Dakini in Hakuzosu's hand suddenly thrust out.
Clang.
dusa shielded herself with both hands, the crossed stakes in her hands blocking the tip of Dakini's spear.
If not for dusa's exquisite horsemanship, that powerful thrust would have knocked her off Pegasus.
"Although your Pegasus's speed surpasses that of us Tengu, I am more flexible in non-linear acceleration combat."
Hakuzosu revealed a look of triumph.
dusa quickly adjusted her posture, controlled Pegasus to evade the pursuing Tengu, and then charged toward Hakuzosu again.
"Useless struggle."
Hakuzosu's eyes were fixed on dusa and Pegasus, ready to flap his wings for extre evasion and counterattack at any mont.
Just then, a pair of beautiful purple snake eyes caught Hakuzosu's gaze.
Hakuzosu found his body stiffening, and movent beca incredibly difficult.
'A curse? It's the curse from those eyes!'
Noticing the anomaly, Hakuzosu imdiately averted his gaze, simultaneously flapping his still unpetrified wings with all his might, trying to escape.
Just then, dusa violently snapped the Bellerophon in her hand.
"Bellerophon!"
Pegasus winced in pain, a red glow appearing in its eyes, and its speed began to increase continuously.
'That woman can go even faster?'
Hakuzosu was greatly alard, moving his body desperately.
But his partially petrified body was now exceptionally heavy, making it impossible to move flexibly.
dusa and Pegasus transford into a dazzling teor, slamming into Hakuzosu with full force.
Hakuzosu was instantly obliterated by Pegasus's imnse magical power and impact.
