The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

"Well, then, little brother Aragaki, please be careful." Miyano Akemi knew that Aragaki Yu was trying to get rid of her for some reason, but being intelligent, she naturally knew what she should do at this time. Anyway, she wasn't helping Gin find out Aragaki Yu's secret.

Because the sea is calm, it is not difficult for Akemi Miyano to leave this place by sea.

After confirming that Akemi Miyano had left at the gap in the seascape, Yuu Aragaki pulled the Yuki-onna out of the Yin-Yang Realm.

He planned to have the Snow Woman carry him back to the cave above where the memorial tablets were placed, to see if he could find a way to seal off the cave entrance behind the tablets.

"Yes, Onmyoji!"

Once back in her true form, the Snow Woman scooped up Aragaki Yu and, carried by the rising blizzard, slowly floated towards the entrance above. Before long, Aragaki Yu was back at the cave entrance.

"Strange!" Looking around the cave, Aragaki Yu couldn't help but frown.

Yuu Aragaki suddenly realized that this place felt different from where he had just gone down!

When Aragaki Yu's gaze fell upon the naval armor beside him, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

This armor is now displayed differently than before!

Just as Aragaki Yu was wondering, a red light suddenly shone from the empty eyes of the armor mask, and then the entire armor seemed to come alive.

With a piercing metallic scraping sound, the armor seemed to come to life, suddenly leaping up from the ground, its sharp blade thrusting straight at Aragaki Yuu.

"Damn it!" The armored figure moved extremely fast, and Aragaki Yu had no time to think, so he could only retreat rapidly.

As Aragaki Yu dodged, a loud "bang" was heard as the armored man's blade struck the memorial tablet beside him, shattering the entire table into pieces.

"What is this? Could it really be the ghost of a navy soldier? Could it have come back to life because I took those gold nuggets?"

Aragaki Yu was filled with doubt and unease.

This situation, just like the previous incident with the Tengu, has never occurred in the original work!

Although he didn't know what was going on, all Aragaki Yu knew was that the naval armor had come to life and was clearly not friendly to him.

"Yoto Hime, I'm entrusting her to you!"

He knew that the snow woman beside him was not good at dealing with such an agile opponent, so he decisively summoned the demon sword princess from the Yin-Yang Domain.

"Undead, stand still!" The moment Yaodao-hime leaped out of the Yin-Yang Domain, she had already returned to her true form and charged straight at the Navy Undead beside her.

"Roar!" Although the Navy Ghost did not know where the guy charging at him came from, he knew that this guy was a far greater threat to him than the human in the distance. Therefore, he immediately changed his target and charged at the Demon Sword Princess with his sword raised.

Although the metal armor looked exceptionally heavy, the naval ghost moved with unusual agility, and his empty eyes flashed with an eerie and fierce red light.

The naval ghost swung his battle sword and slashed heavily at the Demon Sword Princess. The blade cut through the air with a series of shrill sounds, showing an unstoppable momentum.

Yaodaoji knew she couldn't fight head-on, so she dodged left and right and jumped around in the cave, trying to find an opportunity to counterattack while avoiding the attacks of the undead.

The Navy Ghost's longsword swung down again, and the Demon Sword Princess nimbly leaped into the air, her sword drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air as it slashed towards the Navy Ghost's chest.

Ding!

The demonic blade struck the chest armor of the fallen naval soldier squarely, but instead sparked a burst of sparks, leaving only a faint white mark.

Although the attack seemed insignificant to the armored naval ghost, it clearly enraged it. The naval ghost roared furiously, gripping its battle sword with both hands and slashing at the demon sword princess before it. Fortunately, the demon sword princess was prepared; missing her first strike, she decisively retreated, nimbly avoiding the naval ghost's counterattack.

The powerful blow from the naval ghost landed on the stone wall beside them, shattering it and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"A good opportunity!" Taking advantage of the fact that the naval ghosts had not yet regained their strength, Yaodao-hime once again swung her sword and slashed mercilessly down at its back.

In the midst of the chaos, the naval casualties could only raise their swords to block.

In an instant, the blades clashed!

With a loud "boom," the armor was actually blasted into the stone wall by the Demon Sword Princess.

Chapter 113 The Collapsed Cave

"Is it finally over?" Aragaki Yu murmured, staring at the dust-covered stone wall.

"No, not yet!" Yaodao-hime said calmly.

Although she was responding to Aragaki Yu, she still gripped the demon sword tightly in her hand, cautiously guarding the area ahead.

The body remains in a state of extreme alertness.

Sure enough, in the next second.

The naval ghosts, swords raised high, charged out from the still-smoldering smoke.

Without hesitation, Yaodaoji charged forward with her sword drawn.

As the two drew closer, one raised his knife and slashed down, while the other swung his knife upwards.

In an instant, amidst the flashing blades, their figures moved swiftly, their fighting spirit surging.

Their sword techniques, one powerful and heavy, the other swift and elusive, were both exquisite and unparalleled, leaving Aragaki Yu astonished.

The blade slashed down, its edge cutting through the air with a piercing sound.

The two dodged and counterattacked in unison, their attacks like a sudden storm, a hundred or so blades flashing with metallic light.

For a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate, and their tempers flared as they fought, their moves becoming increasingly fierce.

Inside the cave, the affected area was getting wider and wider, with stone pillars and rock walls being broken into pieces from time to time by accidental damage from the Demon Sword Princess or the naval ghosts.

Under the cover of the snow woman, Aragaki Yuu had to move slightly away from the battlefield between the two of them.

Because the space inside the cave was too small, and the attack range of the Yuki-onna or the Tengu was relatively wide, it was easy to accidentally injure the Yoto-hime who was entangled with the naval ghosts, so Aragaki Yu was unable to let them join the battle for the time being.

"Good timing!" came a sweet shout from the Demon Blade Princess.

In the brightly lit cave by flickering candlelight, the naval ghost swung his sword upwards, about to close in and cleave the Demon Sword Princess in two.

Seeing this, Yaodaoji showed no panic. Instead, she used the wind from her blade to fly backward like a willow catkin, and then slashed at the wrist of the naval ghost.

Amidst the furious roar of the naval ghost, the demon sword pierced through the gap in the armor's gauntlet and plunged into the naval ghost's wrist.

After a shower of sparks, the right wrist of the naval ghost, which was made of armor and gripped the sword, was forcibly pried off by the Demon Sword Princess.

"Roar!"

The enraged naval ghost, caught off guard, reached out his left hand to grab the sword that flew to the side.

However, Yoto Hime wasn't going to give him that chance.

"Don't block my way!"

Take advantage of his illness and kill him.

Yaodao-hime quickly caught up with the undead navy soldier who was trying to retrieve his sword, her demonic blade relentlessly slashing at the weak points of the soldier's armor.

Sparks flew everywhere, and the demonic sword clashed with the armor with a series of ear-piercing metallic clangs. The naval ghosts were slashed backward, unable to move.

Finally, with a sound of metal shattering, the eyes of the naval ghost began to dim.

"Purify!"

Yaodao-hime raised her sword to gather power, and the demon sword in her hand began to emit an eerie blood-red light.

boom!

As the Demon Blade Princess wielded her sword, the crimson blade flashed with dazzling light, mercilessly striking the face of the fallen naval soul.

"Woo~~"

The naval ghosts let out a mournful wail that echoed through the heavens.

Even Akemi Miyano, who had evacuated from the sea surface of the cave and climbed ashore to wait for Yuu Aragaki at the cave entrance on the coast, heard this terrifying sound.

Soaked to the bone, Akemi Miyano looked in surprise at the cave entrance from which the wailing sound had come.

My heart was in turmoil, filled with anxiety and fear.

Completely unaware of what had happened, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but think of the legends of the fallen naval soldiers, and felt a chill run down her spine for Aragaki Yu.

……

Under the fierce attack of the Demon Blade Princess, the naval ghost was sent flying backward until it crashed into the cave wall and lay motionless.

Kara~

As a result, the mask on the face of the naval ghost actually shattered piece by piece from the spot where it had been struck by the demon sword.

"Good job, Yoto Hime!"

Seeing the naval ghosts, rendered lifeless by the attack of the Demon Blade Princess, seemingly transformed back into a shattered suit of armor, Aragaki Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hurry up!" Before Aragaki Yu could even properly praise Yaodao Hime, Yaodao Hime flashed to Aragaki Yu's side, grabbed him, hoisted him onto her shoulder, and ran wildly toward the exit.

Aragaki Yu:? ? ?

Before Aragaki Yu could react, the entire cave began to shake precariously.

Countless stone pillars and rock walls inside the cave began to collapse from above and the sides.

"Damn it! The cave is starting to collapse!"

Yuu Aragaki was immediately startled, realizing that the disturbance caused by the battle between the Demon Blade Princess and the naval ghosts had completely collapsed the cave, which was already unstable after the typhoon.

Regardless of what Aragaki Yu was thinking, he was carrying his demon sword and was running wildly outwards with all his might.

With a light touch of her toes, she seemed completely oblivious to Aragaki Yu's weight, swiftly dodging the rocks falling from above.

Or perhaps they would brandish their demonic sword at the rocky obstacles that had collapsed in their way, forcefully carving out a new path to the outside world.
