Chapter 211 Those who play tactics are all dirty-minded.
"Hmph~ Isn't this chaos caused by your evil intentions, Abe no Seimei? Why don't you go and resolve it yourself? Or do you want me to help you? However, out of consideration for our friendship, I don't mind lending a hand and settling this trouble for you."
Gilgamesh rested his cheek on his hand, his eyes filled with contempt and boredom at the chaotic fighting scene below.
He watched the fighting below with utter boredom. In his eyes, the scene was extremely uninteresting, especially with the disgusting giant baby in front of him obstructing his view.
If it weren't for his close friend being there, and seemingly quite interested in how things were unfolding, Gilgamesh would have wanted to pilot the spaceship back to the citadel.
"There is no need to trouble the esteemed Hero King. I will deal with Nue, who is my evil intention."
Abe no Seimei had developed considerable resistance to Gilgamesh's slightly sarcastic remarks and responded calmly.
However, the King of Heroes was not wrong; the scene before them was indeed caused by his evil intentions.
Seeing that the situation on the Nura Clan and the Keikain side was becoming increasingly dire, a large number of yokai, swayed by Hagoromo Gitsune's talk of being an art student who had fallen behind in class, surged forward like a tidal wave.
Meanwhile, the three main forces—Nura Rikuo, Keikain Hidemoto, and Keikain Yura—are busy looking for an opportunity to deal with Hagoromo Gitsune and Nue, which is floating in the air.
Despite receiving support from the Tono group of yokai, the remaining Nura Clan yokai and the Onmyoji of Keikain were outnumbered and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position under the fierce offensive of Hagoromo Gitsune's faction.
Abe no Seimei jumped off the spaceship and used several talismans during the descent. The moment he landed, all the monsters within a three-meter diameter centered on him were blasted away by the power of the talismans.
The strongest Onmyoji in history personally entered the fray, and the battle situation immediately changed dramatically. Those originally menacing yokai became utterly helpless before Abe no Seimei's Onmyo magic.
Yu Bai sat on the edge of the spaceship, gazing intently downwards, his face filled with emotion.
Who said Onmyoji aren't good at close-range attacks? Look at Abe no Seimei's use of Thunder Talisman and Binding Spell, along with various other Onmyoji techniques. Even if a yokai wanted to harm Abe no Seimei at close range, they simply couldn't.
Because, before they even touched Abe no Seimei, they were already completely controlled by this silver-haired great Onmyoji and couldn't move.
The group of monsters below, who were controlled and unable to resist, and could only obediently take the beatings, are the best proof of this.
Looking at the tearful, standing-down monsters, Yu Bai couldn't help but recall his past life when he played games that required clever skill combinations and moves, and he would always encounter players who were keen on control-style gameplay.
The feeling that if you get even a little bit on the keyboard, you can take your hands off the keyboard for the rest of the game and it's all over is something Yu Bai still can't forget.
People who play tactics are indeed cunning!
Of course, it's not to say that Abe no Seimei had no weaknesses. Ultimately, he was still a mage-type character and hadn't fully evolved into a battle mage.
The situation might be drastically different if the enemy were to break through his Onmyoji barrier and engage in close combat. However, on the current battlefield, it seems that no one can threaten Abe no Seimei's safety.
Bu Yue stood quietly behind Yu Bai, also gazing at the fierce battle below. Like Gilgamesh, he had no desire to rush into the fight.
They simply observed the situation calmly, making sure that neither the monsters nor the humans would threaten the safety of their dearest friend.
Of course, if any fool dared to offend Yu Bai, Gilgamesh and Bu Yue would not stand idly by. Their indifference was only directed at insignificant individuals; when it came to the safety of their close friends, they would not hesitate to unleash their formidable strength.
The yokai on Hagoromo Gitsune's side were clearly caught off guard by Abe no Seimei's sudden intervention, and were momentarily at a loss, completely flustered.
In just a short while, a large group of monsters were trapped by Abe no Seimei's spell and could not move.
Seeing this, Nura Rikuo and Keikain Yura immediately seized this rare opportunity and prepared to launch a fierce attack on the Nue in the sky.
However, during this process, they were stopped by a girl who was sitting on a giant skeleton while holding a skull. The girl had previously called Hagoromo Gitsune "older sister".
"Marutake Iiji, Oike~ Don't even think about ruining Lady Hagoromo-Gitsune's thousand-year dream!" the girl hummed in a strange tone.
"Yuluo, we're going to charge forward in one go, so you'd better stay close!"
Faced with the enemy before him, Nura Rikuo gripped his Demon-Slaying Blade tightly without any intention of retreating. He commanded Keikain Yura to prepare for an attack.
"I know!"
Upon hearing this, Yura Hanakain immediately became extremely alert and looked at the girl in front of her warily.
As an Onmyoji (exorcist) of the Keikain family, she has a duty to protect Kyoto; it is their mission. It is also a resolve she had since becoming an Onmyoji herself.
Therefore, no matter what difficulties she faces or who the enemy is, she will not back down!
……
the other side
Hagoromo Gitsune remained firmly atop the pillar, surveying the chaotic scene below. However, when her dark eyes fell upon Abe no Seimei, who was engrossed in using Yin-Yang magic without a trace of tension, a hint of seriousness and wariness flashed in her gaze.
This guy is really difficult to deal with.
A sense of foreboding welled up within Hagoromo Gitsune, as if her grand plan, meticulously prepared over a thousand years, would vanish because of this real Abe no Seimei.
no! Absolutely not!
Just as Hagoromo Gitsune was pondering how to deal with Abe no Seimei, a figure suddenly appeared beside her.
It was a man with white hair, half of his face distorted, and black sclera in his eyes. His blue pupils stared intently at Hagoromo Gitsune, like an abyss.
"what's wrong with you?"
Interrupted from his thoughts, Hagoromo Gitsune looked at the newcomer with a gloomy expression, and several fox tails behind him appeared uncontrollably.
Swaying gracefully, yet revealing a deadly danger, as if every sway could take a life at any moment.
……
Gilgamesh: Abe no Seimei, are you sure you can handle this? If not, I'll condescend to help you this once, for the sake of our friendship. Just... afterward, stay far away from our friend and don't hang around in front of us, that's all!
Abe no Seimei: I can do it, I absolutely can. There's no need for the King of Heroes to do it; I can manage on my own.
Bu Yue: You guys keep arguing. I'm going to take this opportunity to stay by Feng Yue's side and watch the show.
Yu Bai: Recalling those unbearable memories, it's true that those who play tactics have dirty hearts! Who on earth came up with the idea of using all those dream-eating Baku and other sleep-inducing tactics? Get lost, you filthy thing!
