Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Perhaps finding bare-handed combat insufficient, it produced a giant bow.

Hold the bow with both hands and pull the string with both hands.

A massive amount of psionic energy was drawn in, creating storm-like fluctuations around it.

"Who's in command now?"

Haruhiko couldn't help but ask.

"It's you."

Yuan can answer immediately.

"...?"

Haruhiko looked puzzled.

How could it be Ashiya Dōman?

Is he now second only to Abe no Seimei?

"All Tier 5 psionicists, move in and block the arrows!"

Haruhiko amplified his voice with his psychic powers and shouted, "The rest of you, evacuate the civilians in the west of the city immediately!"

The chaotic battlefield finally came to a brief pause.

In fact, when the two Sukuna drew their bows and nocked their arrows, they had already prepared to defend themselves.

However, Haruhiko's order was timely, at least taking into account the common people.

All the psionicists in the vicinity sprang into action.

Just as Haruhiko had guessed, Ashiya Dōman now possessed strength and fame no less than that of Abe no Seimei.

This is why Abe no Seimei handed over command to him before he left.

However, given the current situation, we are only managing to command with difficulty, and there is no better solution.

Haruhiko took a deep breath.

He didn't know what spells Ashiya Dōman possessed, so he could only use his own spells.

In that instant, his first thought was not defense, but mitigation.

Heart-Stealing Slowdown!

The spiritual energy within Haruhiko's body surged out rapidly.

His fourth-tier spells, under his powerful output, were no less formidable than those of the fifth tier.

Although its effect on the two-faced Sukuna is limited, it still has some effect.

The psionic energy rapidly condensed into a ball of red gas in front of him, then rose into the air and flew away.

Heart-Stealing Slowness, as the name suggests, puts the target into a slowed state, reducing their speed by one-third within one minute.

Ryomen Sukuna is enormous, making it difficult to dodge.

It doesn't need to dodge; its body is even stronger than a fifth-tier demon body, and most spells are like tickling it.

Haruhiko had previously ordered psionicists beyond the fifth rank to rescue civilians for the same reason.

Their attack on Ryoumen Sukuna was a complete waste of spiritual energy; they would have been better off saving more people.

In short, Haruhiko's curse struck Ryoumen Sukuna's chest very smoothly.

It was visible to the naked eye that the speed at which it gathered spiritual energy had slowed down.

But it returned to normal in just three seconds.

Haruhiko's face stiffened; this was too fast.

However, it is indeed effective.

He glanced at the fifth-tier psionicists.

That's quite a lot.

There were twenty-nine of them, and more than half of them were wearing Onmyoji hunting robes.

That makes sense, considering that Abe no Seimei was the commander-in-chief and the people he summoned were not Onmyoji, but Onmyoji.

Their methods are of two kinds.

One method was to attack, with spells constantly falling on Ryomen Sukuna, but with little effect.

One type is defense, with densely packed psionic energy spreading out in the air, forming layer upon layer of barriers.

All Haruhiko could do at this point was to keep casting Mind Stealing Slow.

His attack methods do not exceed the fifth level, and his defensive methods are almost non-existent.

Previously, his defense relied entirely on his magical artifacts, but now he has none.

After Haruhiko cast Heart Stealing Slow three times, Ryoumen Sukuna's arrows condensed and instantly transformed into a giant dragon, shooting out.

The foremost barrier shattered instantly, and by the middle, the arrows had slowed down, revealing their true form to the naked eye.

With a roar, Ryomen Sukuna ignored the arrows, and the giant bow in his hand disappeared, replaced by two huge samurai swords.

It held a sword in each hand and slashed down with both swords.

"Get out!"

Upon seeing this, Haruhiko immediately shouted.

Many civilians have already been saved, but there are still quite a few left.

There was no time to fight for them now, because if the fifth-tier psionicist died, it would be even more difficult to buy time.

The twenty-nine fifth-tier psionicists transformed into streaks of light on either side, narrowly avoiding the massive twin blades.

A deafening roar.

The barrier shattered completely, and arrows and twin blades sank into the ground, triggering an earthquake.

Countless houses and buildings collapsed, rubble and dust flew everywhere, and people died before they could even scream.

Haruhiko watched as Sukuna moved about as if she were in an empty place, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

He definitely won't be able to pass this test.

Unless he advances to the sixth level now.

Just then, Haruhiko suddenly raised an eyebrow.

The dust cloud obscured the view of the two Su Nuo, making his movements a little slower than before.

Although it didn't have a major impact, it gave Haruhiko some inspiration.

"Half of the men should use water, and the other half should use fire to attack it!"

Haruhiko shouted again.

The nearby psionicists, though somewhat puzzled, complied anyway.

The main problem is that none of them have a solution right now; whoever speaks the loudest gets listened to.

Shiranui·A spark of fire can start a prairie fire!

Haruhiko raised his hand, and all his spiritual energy transformed into flames.

The temperature around him rose sharply.

Yuan, standing nearby, was stunned.

When did Ashiya Dōman learn fire elemental magic?

He himself was not good with water or fire, so he turned his attention to the rescue.

The entire city was divided into three parts.

In the middle are two Su Nuo statues, on the left is a sea of ​​fire, and on the right is a vast ocean.

At some point, they came together.

The contact between water and fire resulted in a stalemate because the forces were too evenly matched.

Countless plumes of mist rose, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Only then did all the psionicists understand Haruhiko's thoughts.

This is exactly the kind of special environment he wants.

With their vision obstructed, the two Su Nuo became even more frantic.

The two large swords began to slash aimlessly.

Centered on it, the ground cracked and dust flew everywhere, making the environment even darker.

With the naked eye alone, only one-third of the two Sukuna's bodies can be seen.

Haruhiko let out a breath.

Although there weren't many results, at least the two Sukuna were temporarily trapped.

All that's left is to wait for good news from Abe no Seimei.
