How did I, an Onmyoji, become the Lord of Yokai?

"...Don't rush, don't rush...keep thinking, it must have some weakness I don't know about!"

He didn't rush after rejecting the idea, but continued to ponder it.

He was confident that he could find the monster's weakness!

Unfortunately, the monster didn't seem to want to give him time to figure out the answer.

Kamo no Tadayuki's spell inflicted immense pain on it, and that profound suffering also ignited its bestial nature.

Without reason, acting solely on instinct, it wanted to tear the creature in front of it to shreds!

"Roar!!!!"

The roar stirred up waves once more, and the eight giant tails swung in the void. The massive, mountain-like body transformed into lightning and charged directly towards Qingshui Chaoyang.

Without hesitation, the moment the monster moved, Shimizu Asahi also moved. He knew that he was no match for the monster's speed, let alone after being injured. However, he would run as far as he could, and give himself more time to think, no matter what.

—To kill this monster in front of us!

However, the difference in speed was too great. Even though they started at the same time and there was a considerable distance between them, the mindless monster caught up with him in just ten seconds.

As the monster approached him at a visible speed, Shimizu Asahi narrowed his eyes.

He tightened his grip on the talisman, then immediately turned around, trying to inflict pain on the monster once more.

Having experienced such an attack before, the monster instinctively sensed the danger, so it stopped and dodged to the side.

But this action brought a smile to Shimizu Asahi's face.

The attack didn't originate from the talisman; the moment the monster stopped, he seized the opportunity and flew out again.

The talisman his teacher gave him now has only eight uses left, and each attack is precious until the monster's weakness is found.

It would be a huge waste to use that money to buy yourself time.

However, his actions just now were not merely a bluff. If the monster hadn't dodged, he would have used that attack to create an unimaginable hole in its body.

No matter how powerful a monster is, it must have the same vulnerable side.

As we all know, a monster's skin and flesh are as hard as rock, and even if they are naturally fragile, they can be forged to perfection through countless trials. However, how many people know that a monster's internal organs... are actually no different from human internal organs?

Regardless of race, the internal organs are always the most vulnerable parts. No one can forge their internal organs to be as strong as steel. Therefore, attacks that directly penetrate a monster's body are often the most effective.

Shimizu Asahi wasn't sure if the monster's internal organs were as powerful as those of an ordinary creature, but he believed that the explosion surging from within would instantly reduce it to ashes!

"...blown into... ashes?"

The thought that surfaced in his mind made Shimizu Asahi pause for a moment. He suddenly felt that this idea might be worth trying.

If the expanding force directly destroys the monster from the inside out, can it be resurrected?

Even if it can be revived, Shimizu Asahi should have the ability to deal with it.

—Without a body, it can only passively take hits, which Shimizu Asahi can handle perfectly well!

Compared to exhausting the monster's resentment, Shimizu Asahi felt that this method was better.

"...Shall we take a chance?"

A sense of tension crept into his heart. He had very few viable options left, and he needed to carefully consider each one.

perhaps......

"No, there's no 'maybe' anymore. Looking back and forth isn't in my nature!"

Clutching the talisman in his hand, Qing Shui Chaoyang made up his mind.

He grinned, then turned around to look at the monster that had been startled and dodged to the side.

"Come on, monster!"

The monster, which had been frightened, finally realized that the human in front of it was just trying to scare it!

Completely irrational and driven only by instinct, it immediately opened its jaws and attacked Qingshui Chaoyang once again.

This time, however, it did not back down when faced with the raised talisman. Instead, it fearlessly charged forward.

Faced with this gesture, Shimizu Asahi smiled even more happily.

Sure enough, despite being born of resentment, it still exhibits a series of behaviors such as fear, retreat, and advancement.

Yes... this monster can barely be considered a living being!

This is very good news for him.

Taking a deep breath of the surrounding air, Shimizu Asahi stared intently at the enormous monster that was attacking.

"Closer, closer, even closer..."

To maximize the power of the talisman and ensure its release within the monster's body, you must strike the monster head-on at the shortest possible distance. Having learned its lesson, the monster will inevitably dodge when it sees the power detonate. Given its reaction speed, even if Shimizu Asahi launches an attack from within ten meters, it may be able to close its mouth and avoid a fatal crisis.

Therefore, the simplest and most direct way to do this is to release this power from the monster's mouth!

If possible, Shimizu Asahi would prefer to enter the monster's body directly, since that way his power could be unleashed to the maximum extent. However, in doing so, he would also be hit head-on by the impact of the explosion.

Having witnessed the consequences of the monster being hit, Shimizu Asahi did not believe that his body could withstand such an impact.

so......

"Closer!"

As the monster slowly approached, Shimizu Asahi grew increasingly nervous, but finally, the moment he had been waiting for arrived!

The monster... shut its mouth shut without warning!

Power...unleashed in an instant! Chapter 479: The Monster's Resentment

The Yin-Yang Rift is a rift that exists between the realms of Yin and Yang. Perhaps because it is located in the special center between the two realms, it has neither light nor darkness, nor life or death.

Some say that this is the end point of all things in the world, where life and death, light and darkness lose their meaning when crossing this rift. But at the same time, it is the starting point of all things.

Because of crossing the rift, the world came into existence with life and death, light and darkness, and everything else followed suit.

Everything exists here, yet nothing exists here.

However, no matter how people talk about this rift, they cannot refute one fact.

No one knows where the crack came from, nor why it cannot be closed.

Gods and humans have explored this place countless times and ventured deep into it, but the answers they have received here are all surprisingly consistent.

—Although the origin of the crack is unclear, this place is definitely the most terrifying place in the world!

There was no flow of time, no distinction of space, no food, and no entertainment; the whole world was empty and desolate, like a dead silence.

No one can survive in such a space, neither humans nor gods.

...Endless loneliness can drive a person mad!

But on this day, fireworks were born in this void world that had remained unchanged for millions of years...

In a secluded corner unknown to anyone, the most dazzling and beautiful fireworks display unfolded!

"boom!!!!"

The muffled sound was like thunder, the sweeping wind like a roar, and the dazzling flames devoured everything around them...

The power erupted, bursting forth within the monster's body!

The terrible storm ripped its body apart, and the scorching flames devoured its flesh and blood, leaving no trace. It was completely and utterly consumed by the flames!

Qingshui Chaoyang stood very, very far away, staring blankly at the magnificent fireworks he had never seen before.

The wind whipped his hair, the flames illuminated his face, and his dark eyes shone with brilliance.

He won... The thought flashed through his mind almost instantly.

What he saw before him gave him an endless shock and awe. He never thought that one day he would witness such a terrifying blow that seemed to destroy the world!

Neither Ootakemaru nor Reiko could unleash such an attack.

Teacher... is really amazing!

Taking a deep breath, Shimizu Asahi slowly recovered from his shock. He exhaled softly, a smile appearing on his face.

Whether the monster can revive after this explosion or not, he is not too worried.

Judging from the speed at which the monster recovered from its previous injuries, Shimizu Asahi had a good chance of sealing it before it was fully recovered.

—From fragments to resurrection, such a long time will not be wasted.

In other words, he has already won this game!

"Finally...we won!"

Joy welled up from the depths of his heart, and the black-haired boy wanted to laugh out loud, but perhaps he was too happy, because his broken body let out a mournful groan.

"cough......"

Blood and flesh splattered from his mouth, and he instinctively clutched his chest.

"I almost forgot, I'm still wounded..."

Having just been hit head-on by the monster and then suffering from the impact of the explosion, his injuries were already quite severe.

In retrospect, it was fortunate that the raging wind, rather than flames, blew the monster's body apart first when the power was unleashed; otherwise, he would have died in that explosion.

Even so, he's finding it hard to take it now.

With a slightly helpless laugh, he began to mobilize his spiritual energy to heal himself.

Fortunately, his hearing has gradually recovered, and with the restoration of his strength, he can now vaguely hear some sounds.

With his ears alert, he can now focus on healing.

While he focused on recovering from his injuries, time passed silently. About fifteen minutes later, the blazing flames gradually subsided, and the space that had been engulfed by the flames was once again exposed to Shimizu Asahi.

The space that was exposed again was no different from before; even the terrifying flames could not cause any damage to it.

However, the monster's body was gone.

That enormous body, as massive as a mountain, vanished completely.

Even the intense resentment had vanished without a trace.

It seemed as if it had been completely annihilated in the waves of fire.
