They are Onmyoji, and they have no aversion to convenient modern items. On the contrary, since many modern items have become tsukumogami (deities buried with spirits), they also want to keep up with the times.
Just like the intelligence department within the organization has a computer that has become a spirit, and they know a lot of information through this spirit.
Kuroda Kuroto observed carefully and found that Minos and the others were all gathered together, watching them intently, giving Kuroda Kuroto the feeling that they were being watched closely.
"It seems the other party is a reconnaissance type, and I didn't expect their detection range to be so far," Kuroda Kuroto muttered.
Even with the help of shikigami, I can only vaguely see figures here, yet they are already prepared.
As for why Kuroda Kuroto was able to determine that Tsuchimikado Fuyu and his group had scouts.
That's because they are very fast, and they also have shikigami to help conceal themselves. It's impossible for them to detect them using modern technology like binoculars alone, unless they have a reconnaissance shikigami or can be the first to engage.
Moreover, the other party was staring intently at him; it would be a lie to say he hadn't noticed.
But... I don't seem to have found any magic circles. Could it be that they set up a barrier?
That makes sense, though. If we don't set up a barrier, it would be bad if ordinary people found out.
Kuroda Kuroto shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then walked over generously.
It's possible to escape, after all, the two sides are five kilometers apart. No matter how fast the other side is, it's unlikely to catch up. Even if the other side has a flying shikigami, it's useless if its master can't catch up.
After all, if a shikigami is too far from its master, its spiritual power will not be able to be supplied, and this is no exception for Tsuchimikado Fuyu.
However, unlike other normal Onmyoji, Tsuchimikado Fuyu's shikigami also has some spiritual power stored up, so it's not a problem for him to chase someone from a distance and entangle them for a while, but it can't last too long.
Of course, if the star rating of the shikigami increases, the amount of spiritual power stored will also increase.
Although Kuroda Kuroto was unaware of Tsuchimikado Fuyu's exception, and she had no intention of escaping, she chose to communicate first and gather intelligence before making any further moves.
After all, her mission target wasn't far from here. If she ran into this group, or if that area was their territory, it would be troublesome.
There's still a chance to communicate now, but if they run into each other later, she's not sure she can escape. There are more than ten people on the other side, and only two on her side. The other one is a perverted transvestite who's useless. How can she fight them head-on?
……
"Halt! This area is off-limits!" Minos shouted, clenching his fist, upon seeing Kuroda Kuroto appear before him.
"It's a misunderstanding. I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm just passing by," Kuroda Kuroto said with a smile.
“Why did you come back when you could have just gone around?” Minos asked.
"I think she's just here to cause trouble. Maybe we should just kill her," Jashin-chan said with a smile.
She's a demon, killing just one person doesn't bother her at all. What kind of demon saves people if she doesn't kill? Don't be ridiculous, there's no such thing as a demon.
Even a kind-hearted person like Medusa can petrify people. A demon is a demon; it's already a wonder if it doesn't do bad things.
What Evil Goddess didn't know was that there really were demons doing good deeds, and there was more than one right beside her, such as Minos, Vinette, and Satania!
Although Satania often plays pranks, she is kind at heart, at least she seems kinder than Raphiel, who is a pure and upright angel.
So only she, this scumbag, is an outcast.
Upon hearing Jashin-chan's words, Kuroda Kuroto sensed something was wrong and silently clutched the three magatama in his pocket, but outwardly remained calm as he said:
"I have some business to attend to here, and I was worried it might cause some misunderstanding, so I decided to come and meet with you all. After all, it wouldn't be good if things got even more complicated if we met. I think you wouldn't want to make another enemy for no reason, would you?"
"Hehe, what's up? Tell us what it is, maybe we can help you out," Raphiel said with a smile as she stepped out of the illusion.
Upon seeing Raphiel suddenly appear, Kuroda Kuroto thought to himself, "As expected, there's a barrier here, and it seems there are enemies inside."
As for how big the barrier is, and how many people are inside, Kuroda Kuroto doesn't know. Even with her spiritual vision, she can't see them. It seems that the other party's skill in creating barriers is very high, and there may even be a professional barrier master.
This is even more troublesome!
The thought of how many enemies were still hiding gave Kuroda Kuroto a headache. She had a feeling that this mission was doomed, and if she didn't find a way to escape, she might also perish here.
Minos and the others didn't care about Kuroda Kuroto's inner thoughts and shouted into the distance, "I don't care what your purpose is or what your mission is. If the person behind you doesn't come out soon, we're going to make our move."
Just as Kuroda Kuroto looked back in surprise, Mimura Chizuru heard Minos's voice and cursed inwardly, "Damn it, she found me. I knew this woman was unreliable."
Because he didn't have any scout-type shikigami, he didn't know that Minos and the others had already discovered him. He thought it was because of Kuroda Kuroto that he was exposed.
Just as Mimura Chizuru was struggling with whether to go out or run away, Minos and the others, seeing that the other party did not react, exchanged glances and chose to take action directly.
"Since you won't come out, then I'll drag you out." Minos ran past Kuroda Kuroto and charged straight at Mimura Chizuru.
"Wait, I'm coming out, I'm coming out," Mimura Chizuru said hurriedly when she saw Minos appear in front of her in the blink of an eye.
He wasn't being cowardly, but rather avoiding a pointless fight. Since he couldn't escape, he might as well negotiate with the other side and perhaps resolve the matter amicably. After all, Kuroda and Kuroto didn't fight when they encountered them.
"It's you?" The three-tailed fox and the others said in surprise when they saw Mimura Chizuru walking over.
"It's you guys?" When Mimura Chizuru saw the three-tailed fox and the others, she broke out in a cold sweat. She had made a huge grudge against them last time, and there was a dragon behind them!
"I'm afraid I'm going to be in deep trouble this time," Mimura Chizuru thought with a bitter smile.
"You two know each other?" Garden Lily asked curiously.
"I know him, of course I know him. He almost killed Xiaodong last time." After the three-tailed fox finished speaking, he rushed forward with the snow woman and the nine-lived cat. "You ran fast last time, let's see how you run this time."
"That idiot," Kuroda Kuroto cursed under his breath, and quickly summoned his shikigami.
Chapter 345 How can archers not know melee combat?
Kuroda Kuroto pulled three magatama from his pocket. "Three Demon Generals, come out here."
Suddenly, the magatama flashed, and three shikigami—one male and two female—appeared before everyone, surrounding Kuroda Kuroto in the middle.
The male characters were all wearing armor and carrying long swords and shields. Among the female shikigami, one was dressed in a geisha outfit with a seductive figure, and the other was dressed in a ninja outfit, holding a rope with a shuriken tied to each end.
"Go." Kuroda Kuroto had just summoned the shikigami when the white wolf's arrow was already fired. However, the male shikigami of the opponent blocked the arrow with its shield in time, preventing the white wolf's attack from succeeding.
Seeing this, White Wolf quickly drew his bow again and fired three arrows in succession, each aimed at one of the opponent's three shikigami.
The male shikigami calmly blocked the arrows with his shield, while the ninja shikigami threw out a rope, accurately binding the arrows and throwing it out, hitting the last arrow.
"Get serious." The white wolf conjured another arrow in its hand, but this time it didn't shoot it immediately. Instead, it poured some demonic power into it and activated the "Literary Shot" skill.
While the white wolf was attacking, the others were not idle either.
"Come on, let me give everyone a buff first." The old scholar smiled and took out his brush, drawing a few strokes in the air. After being exposed to a lot of modern knowledge, the old scholar's speech became less elegant, and he even took a liking to various internet slang terms.
"Wandering the world, with wisdom in mind." The old man activated the "Wandering" skill, drawing ink birds in the air, which flew towards the shikigami and Minos.
Although it's different from the one in the game that can not only restore health but also add shields, this inkbird that surrounds everyone can also proactively help everyone withstand an attack when they are in danger.
Furthermore, after the ink bird breaks, if the splashed ink sticks to an enemy, it can trigger the "Book of All Things" effect, which will cause a shield to appear to block the enemy's attack the next time it strikes, and the ink will be returned to the opponent in double the amount through a recoil.
Of course, the "Book of All Things" can also be released actively. After the Book Master added ink birds to his teammates, he drew several arrows, which were shot at Kuroda Kuroto and Mimura Chizuru's shikigami.
The best way to deal with the Book Elder's skills is to dodge them and avoid getting ink on yourself, otherwise you'll be constantly harassed by his skills.
However, Kuroda and Kuroto were unaware of this. Their shikigami would never choose to dodge if they could block it, especially after feeling that the ink sword had no power. They were even more certain that Shuweng was harassing them to give other shikigami an opportunity to attack.
"The Book Master's skills are too complicated." In the illusion, Tsuchimikado Fuyu felt a portion of his spiritual power dissipate instantly. After sensing the source, he looked towards the Book Master and immediately complained.
"Winter, is there a battle outside?" Rikka Takanashi asked.
"I hear the battle horns, it sounds intense and deadly. It's time for Thunder Hammer to be unleashed!" Sanae Dekomori said excitedly, swinging her twin tails.
In the illusion, apart from Princess Kaguya, those outside cannot see what is happening inside, and those inside cannot see what is happening outside. As for Tsuchimikado Fuyu, since Princess Kaguya is possessing him, he is naturally unaffected.
Of course, if anything happens outside, you can hear the sounds.
"I'm kind of looking forward to watching it. It feels like we're in a movie right now," said Fennel on May 7th with a smile.
Although Nissougu Senxia didn't say anything, her excited eyes completely betrayed her inner thoughts.
As a seasoned chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), even though she has already graduated, she doesn't want to miss out on this situation at all. Even just being an observer would be fine, as long as she knows that she wasn't always a chuunibyou and that she truly has the potential to become a magician.
"Winter, why don't we go out too? We can protect everyone," Raphiel suggested with a smile.
"No need," Tsuchimikado Fuyutsu shook his head and said.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at Tsuchimikado Fuyu in surprise, their eyes filled with pleading.
"No need to go out, just let them in." Tsuchimikado Fuyu took a branch, drew a few strokes in the air, and then pressed his hands down. Instantly, the illusion expanded rapidly.
Soon, Shuweng and Yi appeared in the illusion, followed by the three shikigami Kuroda and Kuroto, as well as Hakuro, Medusa, and Hanazono Yuri, who were fighting with them.
Next, the three-tailed fox and the others who were fighting against Mimura Chizuru's shikigami in the farthest distance also merged into the illusion.
For this kind of group battle, what better way to put everyone into the illusion? This way, all the shikigami will have a chance to recover their spiritual power during the battle, which will also reduce the spiritual power supply for Tsuchimikado Fuyu.
After all, the priority this time is still the other shore flower, and no mistakes can be made, so it would be best if the supply of spiritual energy could be slowed down a bit.
"What is this? A barrier?" Kuroda Kuroto asked, frowning as he looked at the dark bamboo forest around him, the flowing water at his feet, and the vast expanse of blood-red flowers in the distance.
However, no one could answer her question. Just as she and Mimura Chizuru were stunned, the shikigami felt their spiritual power begin to recover continuously and they all erupted.
"Little Evil God Flying Kick." Evil God-chan stepped on Garden Lily Bell's trident, flew into the air, then turned and shot its tail straight at the geisha shikigami.
Garden Lily also threw down her heavy trident, pulled a machete from under her skirt, and looked at the ninja shikigami that had been pestering her with a wicked smile. "Round two, starting lineup."
"Three stars in a row." As the white wolf moved, it fired three arrows at Kuroda Kuroto from various angles.
For sword and shield shikigami, White Wolf indeed has no way to defeat them with normal attacks. However, this is a battle, not a sparring match, so the goal is to win. Therefore, compared to this turtle shell, Kuroda Kuroto, that fragile chicken, is naturally easier to take down.
"Damn it, what's wrong with these guys? Those shikigami are one thing, but that snake woman is immune to Yi's illusions and emotional attacks. Doesn't this guy have any emotions?"
"And that guy with the machete is human, right? He doesn't even have any spiritual power, just pure physical strength. How can he fight Zero to a standstill? Is this guy a monster?"
While complaining, Kuroda Kuroto quickly had his sword and shield shikigami stand beside him to block the white wolf's arrows.
"An opportunity." When the sword-and-shield shikigami hurriedly caught the arrow, the white wolf rushed forward, fired a few more arrows, then jumped up and charged towards Kuroda Kuroto with a flying dragon.
Although she is an archer, as a white wolf, especially an archer who has been fighting alone for a long time, how could she not know how to fight at close range?
An archer who can't even do melee combat is practically crippled; such an archer wouldn't survive long alone in the wild.
Chapter 346 Defeat
"Kill." White Wolf pulled the dagger from his leg wrappings and slashed fiercely at Kuroda Kuroto.
Kuroda Kuroto was immediately alarmed, but it was too late to send the sword and shield shikigami to defend. She gritted her teeth and simply gave up on letting the sword and shield soldier block the attack. Instead, she had it slash directly at the side of the white wolf, as if it were going to die together with him.
Of course, mutual destruction is impossible. For a fragile Onmyoji like her, she may not have much else, but she certainly has plenty of ways to save her life.
This situation is at most a case of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own.
She ripped the ribbon from her hair and threw it at the white wolf, while rapidly forming hand seals. A pale-faced, expressionless shikigami appeared between the two.
This shikigami isn't actually used for combat; it's the only shikigami she has for detection. Kuroda Kuroto wouldn't have sent it out to defend against the white wolf's attack unless there was absolutely no other way.
Although its combat power is almost zero, it is the most important shikigami for Kuroda Kuroto, even more so than the sword and shield shikigami that protects her closely.
