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

Driven to madness, Himiko, driven by an intense desire to protect the Sun Wheel Castle, adhered to the principle of "never using all her power unless absolutely necessary."

This was a very important discovery for them.

Although it was somewhat unavoidable, there was no other way but to achieve victory and liberate the entire Sun Wheel City.

Having taken in all the details, Shimizu Asahi became extremely vigilant.

He didn't know when Takiyasha-hime would be able to break the formation, but he needed to be prepared to launch an attack the moment the formation was broken.

As if hearing the thoughts in Shimizu Asahi's mind, the next moment, a flash of light passed before his eyes, and a sharp blade of light shot straight into the sky, slamming fiercely into the golden array.

"Crack!"

Unsurprisingly, the terrifying power caused the formation to crack.

Cracks, like a spider web, began to spread. In the blink of an eye, the entire formation was covered with these wounds, and then it shattered with a crash!

The moment the light faded, the bodies of Shimizu Asahi and the other two returned to normal.

Almost instantly, three figures appeared before Himiko. Like Shimizu Asahi, the two demon kings, who were already prepared, launched their attack at this moment.

However, Himiko reacted quickly with the help of the power of time, and immediately formed a formation to block the three people's combined attack.

At the same time, a terrifying fist carrying endless pressure also crashed down at this moment.

The power of time can affect not only others, but also oneself.

Compared to using an array to imprison the three for a period of time, empowering oneself with greater speed and strength would undoubtedly make one more capable of fighting against the three.

At least, that's how it is now.

The acceleration of time made his fists incredibly fast, arriving in front of the three in an instant. The pressure was so great that they didn't even have the strength to dodge.

"Is it a scheme?"

"Deliberately revealing a weakness, then wiping us out in one fell swoop?"

At this moment, Shimizu Asahi's mind raced. To be honest, it wasn't that he was being overly sensitive, but rather that his movements were so fluid and natural, as if they had been planned in advance.

Even though he lost most of his sanity, he did not lose his instincts as a warrior.

"I must say, as expected of Himiko, even in her madness she remains so dangerous..."

Well, it's also possible that because the power of time is relative, she felt that such an attack wouldn't work on Takiyasha-hime, so it was useless.

Undoubtedly, the sudden attack has put the three of them in a rather awkward situation.

"Outsiders! This is your end!!!"

Himiko let out another fierce roar.

But... there wasn't a trace of a smile on the faces of any of the three of them.

"The finish line? This is not our finish line!"

"No, perhaps I should say... we won't stay here!"

The enormous fist suddenly engulfed the bodies of Shimizu Asahi and the other two, but then an unexpected event occurred.

Himiko... I didn't feel anything at all when I touched the real thing!

Such an attack could not defeat Shimizu Asahi and the other two. With Reiko and Ibuki holding the line, Shimizu Asahi's human body would not break so easily. However, the physical sensation of the fist hitting flesh would never disappear.

But just now, I didn't feel anything.

And...where are the people?

Where was the person who appeared before her, scurrying around like a rat?

Just as this question arose in her mind, her gaze was suddenly drawn to three small, dark figures.

Compared to Shimizu Asahi and the others, whose distinct characteristics made their humanity immediately recognizable, the three small black dots that appeared before her eyes didn't even have a single feature that could identify them.

Moreover... it's less like a person and more like... paper?

Hmm? Paper?

How come there's paper here?

Her gaze instinctively fell upon them, but in the next second, she discovered that the papers... had vanished.

"??"

A question arose in her mind, and she subconsciously began to think about it, but the next moment, she sensed something else amiss.

My thoughts were interrupted, and my gaze followed suit.

—Unbeknownst to her, Qing Shui Chao Yang had appeared at the corner of her eye!

The terrifying demonic power condensed into endless ice, and the attack, like a raging storm, instantly robbed her of all her vision!

It appeared without warning and attacked with incredible speed; an ordinary person would probably be hit in no time.

But that's not enough.

A violent gust of wind came from the side, and his body, accelerated by time, reacted instantly, easily shattering Shimizu Asahi's attack.

But after shattering the ice, he disappeared once again.

"Despicable outsiders!!!"

Himiko turned her head, searching for Shimizu Asahi's location, but the moment her head turned, the attack landed on her forehead.

The blade and arrow pierced through the already scarred brow without mercy, and the dazzling golden light gushed out like a fountain!

—Himiko, injured again! Chapter 797, Section 800: Let's negotiate, Himiko.

"Ahhhh!!!!"

A piercing sound exploded in the sky.

Himiko raised her head and opened her lips as wide as she could.

A scream filled with endless pain echoed in everyone's ears.

"Outsiders!!!"

The pain kept stimulating her nerves. Although Shimizu Asahi's previous attack had already caused her great pain, she hadn't experienced this feeling of being attacked on top of her existing pain, making it even more painful, for a long time.

These pains and sufferings were so intense that Himiko could not bear them for a time.

She subconsciously raised her arm and moved it towards her forehead at lightning speed.

Upon seeing this, Takiyasha-hime and the other two immediately withdrew.

Fortunately, Himiko's actions were not an attack, so they easily escaped from the attack range.

"It seems our plan was very effective..."

As soon as the three landed, Shimizu Asahi ran over from the side.

Seeing the three unharmed, the boy couldn't help but smile.

"Hmm... thanks to Paper Dance's help."

The previously heavy-hearted Takiyasha-hime also smiled at this moment.

Actually, they didn't just come here without any consideration; they did have some basic strategies.

For example, they first fought Himiko, and after finding a glimmer of hope for attack from Himiko, they launched a fierce attack using the power of the paper dance.

The power of paper dance is to transform a person into a piece of paper and then exchange different pieces of paper... It can be considered a kind of ability related to space.

Just like that, Shimizu Asahi and the others were turned into paper just as they were about to be attacked by Himiko.

While it's impossible to completely deflect the impact, the paper is undoubtedly better able to withstand it than their own bodies, and it can also divert Himiko's attention.

Taking advantage of the moment Himiko was drawn to him, Shimizu Asahi leaped to the other side alone, becoming bait so that Himiko would attack him again.

When Himiko raised her hand to attack, he covered Himiko's eyes, and then used this method to escape the attack range.

While she was searching for Qingshui Chaoyang, the other three took the opportunity to attack!

This tactic would never be so effective against other enemies, but it would be absolutely useful against Himiko, who has not fought for a long time and whose strength is mostly devoted to protecting the Sun Wheel Castle!

As it turned out, their method did indeed work.

It's great that the power of the paper dance wasn't revealed immediately...

"So, what do we do next?"

Should we continue the attack?

Reiko took a soft breath, her pale yellow eyes gazing at Himiko in the distance.

Himiko is still suffering, and if they weaken her power as much as possible at this moment, they might be able to deliver the final blow.

Completely liberate the City of the Sun.

"...Indeed, that's a good option."

"only......"

Shimizu Asahi pursed his lips; to be honest, he also strongly agreed with the suggestion.

Himiko is already at her last gasp; this attack could very well be the final straw that breaks the camel's back.

However... the opponent is Himiko, a top-tier powerhouse second only to her own sister.

He absolutely must not forget this!

If Himiko is willing to give up, she has the terrifying power to crush them at any time!

"...Wait a little longer."

Shimizu Asahi ultimately abandoned the tempting offer and decided to wait and see for the time being.

He kept fighting the opponent, pushing them into a corner and forcing them to use all their strength to fight back.

To be honest, getting to this point was quite unexpected for Shimizu Asahi.

Continuing the battle seemed perfectly feasible, but he couldn't gamble on the possibility that Himiko valued the City of the Sun more than her own life.

Therefore... his original intention was to stop the war here.

Now, we should be able to communicate, right?
