I, Den-O, Contract Urban Legend

As soon as she finished speaking, a surging golden spiritual power spurted out from her body, and fist shadows filled the sky. The falling gravel and broken wooden beams could not withstand the violent spiritual power, and were beaten into powder. , to create a safe area for everyone.

"Hiss, the inscrutable physical skills and the terrifying spiritual power! It's completely different from that of the Onmyoji. There is a vague sense of coercion in the spiritual power. Is this the power of the gods..."

Although the crisis was resolved, everyone took in a breath of cold air unconsciously and looked at Iwanaga Kotoko with horrified eyes, as if they did not expect that this seemingly weak god would actually have such power.

Is the other party still the God of Wisdom they know? This strength is already comparable to that of a big monster!

"Look, there is a woman standing above the black ball. Is she the Hagoromo Fox?"

Such words came out from the monster group, and everyone's attention immediately shifted to Hagoromo Kitsune, and they all looked up at the black ball in the sky.

Nura Rikusheng frowned and whispered to himself: "Hey, it's true, this black ball exudes an incredible aura. This level of "fear" has exceeded the Kidomaru I met before. Bar. "

"Well, don't you think there's something wrong with the expression on that feathered fox's face..."

Hagoromo Fox's face became a little ugly. She felt that the "nue" breath from the black ball became extremely weak, and it came more from the "fear" of the unknown female assassin, just like "fear" Possessing self-awareness, it seems to be integrating with the resurrected Nue. No, to be more precise, it is more like trying to snatch Nue's body...

Although Hagoromo has experienced countless reincarnations in the past millennium, she basically knows only a little about Onmyoji, let alone advanced magic like reincarnation. Faced with the situation in front of her, Hagoro is completely helpless. He could only stay where he was and watch the black ball change.

"No, calm down. Qingming has always been a smart kid. He must have a way to deal with this kind of problem. It's enough for me to just trust him!"

Unknowingly, the Hagoromo Fox emerged from the black ball, and the reincarnation technique in the body had already stopped. This meant that the "childbirth" process was over, and the next step was to wait for the "Nue" in the black ball to complete its transformation. .

Regarding the situation of the black ball, she currently has no room to intervene, and Hagoromo Fox has no choice but to place all her hopes on "Nue" himself.

With a thought in his mind, the fox in feathers released a pitch-black "fear" to wrap around his body, then transformed into a black sailor suit and stood on the dilapidated roof beams.

Then, she looked down at the monsters below and murmured to herself: "By the way, I still have things to deal with now."

Kotoko Iwanaga, a "princess" who has become famous in the world of monsters in recent years, or a "god of wisdom with one eye and one foot", exists to maintain the balance between monsters and humans, but for Kyoto monsters It's just an eyesore.

Hagoromo Fox heard that Kotoko Iwanaga had no fighting power. Although she had a certain degree of appeal in the world of monsters, Hagoromo Fox still did not take her seriously.

"A weakling like an ordinary human being, surrounded by weak monsters. I didn't expect that with such strength, he would have the courage to come over and stop "Nue" from being resurrected..."

"After all, the monster world is different from the human world. The law of the jungle can often override everything. No matter how high her reputation is, she is just a "false god" created by some unknown ritual of monsters in the end - no, it feels like It's more like a puppet. Although it's a bit annoying, it's not enough for me to care about. "

Next, Hagoromo Fox's gaze shifted to Nura Rikusheng, and his eyes became cold.

After many years, the naughty ghost will always appear in front of her again and again, whether it is Nura Hua Lao, Nura Liban, or now Nura Rikuo, whenever Hagoromo Kitsune plans to let "Nue" When she was resurrected, she would always encounter various obstacles from the Slippery Ghost clan. From the past, it was as if a pair of invisible hands were controlling her destiny. She could not get rid of her old enemy, the Slippery Ghost.

The current Hagoromo Kitsune is no longer affected by the reincarnation spell. Although she has lost the "fear" of the high-speed mother-in-law, with the addition of the power of the strange demon god, her strength is still something that Nura Rikuo cannot deal with.

"Well, it is said that Iwanaga Kotoko has a powerful agent under his command, but the other party seems not to be present... No matter, with the enemy in front of you, there is no reason for me to let him go."

I saw Hagoromo Fox stretching out his right hand, spreading his palm, and gently grabbed it in the direction of Nura Rikusheng, and his telekinesis quickly extended outward.

As if sensing the murderous intention coming from the Hagoromo Kitsune, Nura Rikusheng subconsciously assumed a fighting stance, but he could not expect that the Hagoromo Kitsune had telekinesis, and before he could react, he was caught by an invisible hand. The whole person was floating in the air, looking like he was tied up by something invisible.

"You troublesome slickster, I will cut off your bloodline forever today!"

When Hagoromo was about to tighten his fists and kill Nu Liang, a manhole cover appeared out of thin air from behind her.

Bang!

The manhole cover was swung hard at the back of Hagoromo's head, and a loud sound reached everyone's ears. The sudden severe pain made Hagoromo's eyes flash with stars, and the telekinesis that held Nura Rikusheng was immediately released. .

Yu Yihu groaned, the pain on her face was even more obvious than when she was giving birth, but she knew that now was not the time to care about such things. She did not expect that there was a powerful assassin behind her, and she needed He had to leave the place immediately. If he received another sneak attack as powerful as before, the consequences would be disastrous.

I saw the figure of the feathered fox flashing, appearing on the eaves not far away. He looked at his original position with a solemn expression, but he didn't see anything.

At this time, a voice sounded from behind Yu Yihu.

"Now, are you looking for me? But I'm already behind you?"

Chapter 263: I have nothing to be afraid of anymore

Seeing Ueya Inoue safe and sound, Hanako Natsukawa and Kotoko Iwanaga standing at the bottom breathed a sigh of relief.

The feathered fox reacted instantly. When he turned to look behind him, what he saw was a purple knight holding a manhole cover. He had to quickly use telekinesis to block the attack in front of him.

"Hey, again and again, never ending... You guys really like to carry out sneak attacks from behind!"

However, the power of this manhole cover far exceeded Hagoromo Kitsune's imagination. It actually broke through the shackles of the hastily exerted telekinesis in the blink of an eye, and hit her with unabated force, who looked stunned.

An incredible force came from the manhole cover, and severe pain swept through Hagoromo Kitsune's body instantly. Even as a great monster, she couldn't help but scream in pain, and her whole body flew upside down from the ruined inner hall of Erjo Castle. He went out and fell hard into a pile of rubble at the bottom of the inner hall.

In contrast, along with the flying fox, the manhole cover in the purple knight's hand had several obvious cracks unknowingly.

"It's strange that Hagoromo Kitsune didn't faint even after being hit by me twice in a row?"

"Ueya Inoue" had a hint of surprise in his tone, wondering why this particularly useful manhole cover suddenly became weak.

[Well, it seems that there is a certain upper limit to the power amplification effect of this manhole cover. When encountering an opponent with Hagoromo's strength, it cannot be stunned directly. Moreover, after just defeating all the monsters along the way, the durability of this thing is also limited. It has been almost consumed, and I am afraid it will be completely destroyed after one or two more attacks...]

Thinking about it, the rewards given by the system have never been reliable. This manhole cover can be regarded as a relatively powerful item that Inoue Ueya has. If this manhole cover can be enhanced without an upper limit, things don't need to be so troublesome. Just give it to Hagoromo Kitsune. The resurrected "Nue" comes and it's over.

The youkai looked at the girl in black sailor uniform who fell from the sky. Not only the youkai led by Kotoko Iwanaga and others, but also many other Kyoto youkai who saw the collapse of Erjo Castle near the inner sanctum and came to support one after another. Their hearts were full of shock. It was clear that the Hagoromo Fox had almost killed Nura Rikuo one second ago, but they did not expect that he would be beaten so badly by an unknown person the next second. This was really the leader of Kyoto monsters and the thousand-year-old monster they knew. The Youkai's Hagoromo Kitsune?

Only the Hagoromo Fox himself, who had personally resisted two attacks, could realize how terrifying the sudden appearance of the purple knight was.

"The weapon in this guy's hand is just an ordinary manhole cover that can be seen everywhere. In other words, he just used brute force to seriously injure me, and his completely unpredictable speed is really impressive. It’s tricky.”

When he met these guys a few days ago, Hagoromo Fox heard something about "Dian Wang" from the hesitant explanation of the Skeleton Demon God. It was said that the other party was some kind of Demon God hunter. When he met the Demon God They will kill all the dangerous people. Anyway, I guess

Ji is an existence similar to Onmyoji.

"Is this what you said, Skull, not to be underestimated? The Den King is indeed a formidable enemy. I feel that this guy is a little different from the one I met a few days ago. He has a different fighting style and is much stronger. He should not be the group of electricity kings we met before."

[Uh, well, it’s pretty much what you said...]

But it doesn't matter, the situation is still under Hagoromo's calculations, and now she is in front of the sealed gate leading to Nuechi, which means——

"Hey, how long are you going to sleep for? Wake me up quickly!"

As he spoke, the Hagoromo Fox moved his thoughts and extended his telekinesis in all directions, dragging Jingchu, Ibaraki Doji and other knocked-out monsters out of the rubble.

The first ones to regain consciousness were Seiko and Ibaraki Doji. Even though they fell into a coma due to the sneak attack of "Ueya Inoue", after all, they have the physical fitness of a great monster, and their recovery speed from injuries is naturally much faster than that of ordinary monsters. The stimulation immediately wakes me up.

You can still vaguely feel the pain coming from your head, but the monsters still opened their eyes with difficulty under the urging of Hagoromo Kitsune.

The Jing Mole cricket then recalled that he had been knocked unconscious by a plot, and quickly stood up, looking around at the semi-ruined inner hall of Erjo Castle and the Slicker Ghost and his group, and then at the condition of the Hagoromo Fox, his face looked a little ugly.

——It's a dereliction of duty. I really have a serious dereliction of duty this time!

"D-Did the technique fail?"

The Hagoromo Fox was silent for a while, then shook his head and responded: "No, it should be successful, but Seimei's resurrection seems to have not been completely completed. You go to guard the black ball above. I now have an opponent that I must deal with seriously. It’s really overwhelming in a short period of time——”

Before he finished speaking, Ibaraki Doji woke up and looked at the two of them with an unhappy expression, and directly interrupted Hagoromo Kitsune's words.

"It's so noisy! I've been talking non-stop since just now. Is it going to end? Who are you two?"

As he said that, Ibaraki Doji covered his head covered with blood. His head hurt. A trace of confusion suddenly appeared on his face. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Wait, who am I?"

Hearing this, the corners of Jing Mole Cricket's mouth twitched slightly, and a possibility came to mind. Could this guy have been knocked out and lost his memory?

"Uh... in short, just follow me and don't cause any more trouble to Lord Hagoromo."

"Huh? Who is Hagoromo Kitsune?"

"Let's go first. I'll explain it to you on the way..."

——Knocked two big monsters unconscious in the blink of an eye, and even the Hagoromo fox was in such a state of embarrassment. The opponent's strength was probably not something they could fight against, and they could not continue to hold the Hagoromo fox back.

Jing Mole cricket sighed, dragged Ibaraki Doji who was stunned on the spot, and led the other waking monsters towards the location of the black ball.

Seeing the two of them moving forward to protect the black ball, Hagoromo Fox still felt that these two big monsters were a bit unreliable, but she was probably the only one who had the ability to stop Inoue Ueya on this field.

Hagoromo Kitsune has not fully recovered from the weakness caused by the reincarnation spell. As long as she delays for a while, she should still be able to fight the purple knight at a 50-50 draw after recovering.

"Regardless of whether the black ball is Qingming or not, there is only one thing I need to do now, and that is to defend the black ball with all my strength!"

Unknowingly, "Ueya Inoue" used the effect of the manhole cover in his hand and Mary's teleportation ability to cause a wonderful misunderstanding in Hagoromo Kitsune, and her strength was overestimated to an unfathomable level.

"Whether it is Den-O or Slippery, it doesn't matter who the opponent is - just go ahead and take action, I have nothing to be afraid of anymore!"

Chapter 264 I am your opponent!

"First of all, let me get down from above!"

The Hagoromo Fox raised her hand, and her telekinesis extended from her right hand again. Just like it had just attacked Nura Rikuo, the invisible hand struck at "Ueya Inoue" above the eaves.

Seeing this familiar action, Inoue Ueya probably guessed the intention of the Hagoromo Fox, and then he erased his sense of existence again, and teleported behind her, hoping to launch another sneak attack.

It was only after appearing behind Hagoromo Kitsune that when "Ueya Inoue" lifted the manhole cover, he realized that his body was inexplicably heavy as if filled with lead, and his movements instantly slowed down.

The skill of using telekinesis that Hagoromo Kitsune had learned during his previous battle with Naya allowed him to simulate a stronger gravity environment by manipulating telekinesis to slow down the movement of the enemy.

[This familiar feeling is somewhat similar to Sadako’s telekinesis. Does Hagoromo Fox want to use this method to restrict our actions...]

"Hey, telekinesis?"

Following the feeling fed back from the field of telekinesis, Hagoromo Fox noticed the presence of Ueya Inoue, and then drew out her three-tailed sword from her tail, turned around and quickly swung it towards Ueya Inoue behind her, and the blade accurately missed his hand. He held the manhole cover in his hand, and then moved it across Inoue Ueya's body.

"Although you can't see it with the naked eye, you're right here, right?"

"Oops, the manhole cover was covered by——"

That knife still didn't cause much damage to Inoue Ueya, but before he could react, the Hagoromo Fox's telekinesis wrapped around the blade, taking advantage of Inoue Ueya's moment of distraction to launch a pursuit.

Continuous slashes struck immediately, and along with a series of sparks, the armor that had experienced countless battles and was still intact was scratched with slashes by Hagoromo Kitsune's blade.

"It hurts. Is this the true strength of the big monster?"

Although "Ueya Inoue" tried to distance the two of them and regain control of the rhythm of the battle, his movements became slower. There was a huge gap in combat experience between Mari and Hagoromo Kitsune. Hagoromo Kitsune was like Predicting what he was thinking, the heavy rain and wind-like offensive overwhelmed him, leaving him without any chance to breathe.

"No matter how strong I am, don't underestimate me, I am still a great monster who has experienced hundreds of battles!"

As mentioned before, whether it is Mary's ability or the holy spear form that focuses on long-range combat, both are flexible types and are not very good at defense. Once suppressed by the enemy, they will fall into a hard fight, especially The current Inoue Ueya is unable to escape from Hagoromo Kitsune's offensive. First, the ability to erase the sense of existence was cracked by Hagoromo Kitsune using telekinesis. Also, in order to cope with the oncoming attack, "Inoue Ueya" cannot concentrate. Using the ability to teleport to create distance, the two abilities Mary possesses cannot function.

Gradually, the telekinesis of the Hagoromo Fox completely locked the invisible purple knight, and the telekinesis was concentrated on "Ueya Inoue". Mary, who had all her abilities sealed, had to release "fear" to resist. Even so, the telekinesis brought The pressure was still so heavy that "Ueya Inoue" could not move. As Hagoromo Kitsune's condition gradually recovered from the weakness caused by the reincarnation technique, her offensive became stronger and stronger. Completely at a disadvantage.

The battle is still going on, but because Inoue Ueya has not yet removed the ability to erase his presence, what others see is the Hagoromo Fox waving his sword in the air with a wild smile on his face, looking like a lunatic. .

"Hey, is this woman really our leader?"

The amnesiac Ibaraki Doji frowned and asked a question to the mole cricket next to him.

"Stop talking like that. Our mission now is to protect Nue's transforming body..."

Hearing this, the eyes of the Kyoto youkai gradually became complicated. Could it be that Lord Hagoromo Fox finally couldn't stand the mental pressure brought about by his thousand-year reincarnation and went completely crazy?

However, there is no way that Natsukawa Hanako, Hatachi Sachi and Iwanaga Kotoko were not aware of Mari's ability, especially the two women who had a contractual connection. They immediately realized that Hagoromo Kitsune had used unknown means to sense the location of "Inoue Ueya". .

"Really, I can't stand it anymore! I'm going to rescue Inoue and the others, and you can deal with that black ball."

Saying that, Natsukawa Hanako was about to step forward to intervene in the battle. Unexpectedly, a strong wind blew past, and a golden light escaped from the body of Iwanaga Kotoko next to her. When Hanako came back to her senses, Yoshihiko Bachi had already rushed over.

"Tsk, have you been taken one step ahead..."

Natsukawa Hanako pouted, looked back at Kotoko Iwanaga who had returned to her original state, and continued: "Then let's deal with the black ball first."

"this……"

Iwanaga Kotoko was a little hesitant. Even Inoue Ue after the transformation was no match for the Hagoromo Fox. Is it really okay to have only Hatachi Yuki to support him?

"Well, don't worry and leave it to her. Although this idiot senior is a bit stupid, she should be the strongest among us when it comes to head-on combat."

The extremely terrifying spiritual power emitted from the body of Hachishako, and he jumped into the air and kicked towards the Hagoromo Fox.

"Don't bully my husband!"

"Hey, you guy who's in the way..." An inexplicable sense of crisis surged into his heart. Hagoromo Kitsune held a sword in his right hand and pulled out a two-tailed iron fan from his tail in his left hand. He turned around to block Hachishako's surprise attack. However, the unparalleled force caused the Yuyihu to stagger back several steps.

The restraint from the power of telekinesis became loosened due to Yashiko's attack. "Ueya Inoue" took the opportunity to use his teleportation ability and retreated to Yashiko's side, canceling the ability to erase the sense of existence.

"It's time to change people. Marie-chan, you go to Kotoko's side to help first."

"Well, then I'll leave it to you."

Without the firepower assistance of the manhole cover props, Mary's ability was also restrained by the Hagoromo Fox. If she attacked by surprise, she might still have a chance of winning, but it would not work in a head-on battle. She knew in her heart that she could not defeat the Hagoromo Fox, who was already on alert.

Although Mary felt a little helpless, after hearing what Hachishako said, she still got out of Inoue Ueya's body and walked in the direction of Iwanaga Kotoko and his party.

[Stop that little girl quickly! Although I don’t know why a monster has the ability of a strange devil, but if I guess correctly, she is the one who gave "Dian King" the ability to move at high speed! 】

Hearing the words of the skeleton, Hagoromo Fox did not intend to just let Mary escape. "Ueya Inoue" showed the erasure of breath, terrifying strange power, and the speed of movement that was difficult to react, which was the most dangerous existence for the transforming "Nue". As long as this troublesome guy is successfully dealt with, other monsters will be useless.
