The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

So--

Let him know how meaningless this proof is.

Flames also appeared in the hands of the Great Onmyoji.

Two flames came from different directions and then collided with each other.

Boom!

The flame burned to both sides at the junction, forming obvious layers.

This is a situation of mutual confrontation.

A cunning smile appeared on Ashiya Doman's face.

What he is least afraid of is a competition of endurance.

After all, he has been lurking in Heian-kyo for several years, constantly using Yin-Yang magic to copy and strengthen his body over and over again.

The bodies in this room are what were discarded in the process.

This is a forbidden technique in Yin-Yang magic - a method to "extend life".

It is said that using it will lead to very serious consequences, but it can enhance the user's ability to manipulate the five elements.

But in order to defeat the Onmyoji in front of him, Ashiya Doman knew that he had no room for hesitation.

Now, he believes that he can definitely gain the upper hand in this confrontation!

[Of course you know that Ashiya Doman used a forbidden technique from Onmyoji. ]

【But that's not what you're concerned about right now. 】

You can feel something flowing inside you.

[That is something called magic. ]

[The Holy Grail with exhausted talent has been activated: You feel as if you have found back some memories about the golden cup. ]

You feel a connection to it.

【This allows you to begin to gain the upper hand in your confrontation with Ashiya Doman. 】

[The other party gradually panicked.]

Something is wrong!

This is not right!

Ashiya Michiman's hands were shaking.

He originally wanted to rely on his refined body to gain the upper hand in this confrontation, but he discovered something horrible.

That is-

The man in front of me seemed to never be overdrawn.

His flame lasts forever, as if it will never go out.

No!

Since we can't defeat him through a prolonged battle.

Then change your ways.

Ashiya Doman clenched his fists.

His body was constantly releasing some substance.

He didn't know that this was actually a substance called "magic power".

But he knew that as long as he released this thing, he would be able to increase the intensity of his flames several times in an instant!

Although this may cause the entire room to catch fire, or even cost you your life.

But in order to defeat him, this is all acceptable!

Ashiya Doman's flames became violent in an instant.

It rose directly to the top of the room like a huge wave.

Ashiya Doman showed a crazy smile.

In this case——

Then you can defeat him.

However, things did not develop as Ashiya Doman had expected.

Yes.

His flames did grow stronger.

But in contrast, the flames of the Onmyoji on the opposite side also became stronger.

The two flames were entangled together, motionless along the original boundary.

This control balance is more difficult to achieve than one-sided absolute suppression.

After all, the former only needs to use all his strength.

The latter——

It is absolute confidence in one's own abilities.

And Ian is doing just that.

Of course, Ashiya Doman would not be unaware of this.

He roared hysterically:

"Abe, are you kidding me this way?!"

"I'm not kidding you."

Ian looked at Ashiya Doman, who had completely lost his mind, and spoke calmly.

"Have you... forgotten the essence of Yin-Yang magic?"

"Nature?"

"Yes." Ian, who was enveloped in flames but unharmed, looked straight at Ashiya Doman in front of him.

"The essence of Yin-Yang is the balance of the five elements."

"Things like yours that you use to prove yourself are completely out of touch with the essence of this."

"in addition--"

Ian's gaze passed over Ashiya Doman and looked at Shuten Douji and Ibaraki Douji behind him.

It was a rather strange picture.

The two demons who were seriously injured by Ashiya Doman were surrounded by a water curtain and were not harmed at all by the flames in the fierce battle.

Of course, it was impossible for them to release it themselves. Only Ian could do such a thing.

In other words: he was using his own fire to confront Ashiya Doman while protecting the two little ghosts.

"I'm still one step ahead of you."

Ashiya Doman's pupils were trembling.

He originally thought that after such a long period of refining, he would be able to defeat this great Onmyoji.

But now it seems——

Everything is still far from complete.

"What kind of monster are you..."

Ashiya Doman looked at Ian in front of him and couldn't help but ask this.

"It is Abe no Haruaki, the fifth Abe no Yasuchika."

The man responded.

"An ordinary Onmyoji."

[You shattered all of Ashiya Doman's fantasies. ]

[You know he won't do it again.]

[You came to Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji under his flames. ]

[You picked them up, one on each side.]

[You are ready to leave here.]

The room was engulfed in flames.

The remains of what was once Ashiya Doman himself continued to burn.

The burnt aroma filled the entire room, mixed with bursts of explosions.

Ian held Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji in his arms and looked back at Aoi Doman who was kneeling in the sea of ​​fire.

He hesitated for a moment and said:

“I actually feel sorry for you.”

"B-What a pity?"

Reed Daoman raised his head and looked at Ian who said this with a slightly frustrated look.

"Abe, are you pitying me?"

"Not really." Ian shook his head.

"You are able to set up such a Yin-Yang formation, which proves that your foundation is not bad."

"but--"

"You don't realize that Onmyoji wasn't created to prove which Onmyoji is stronger."

Many images echoed in Ian's mind.

The experience of falling in love with Minamoto no Raikou, the demon-slayer;

The past of talking with Tamamonomae;

The days when Ibaraki-douji and Shuten-douji understood that demons are not all evil;

"Each of us has the responsibility to enable people to communicate with ghosts and demons."

"To clear the blockage between humans, ghosts and monsters—"

"That is the meaning of the existence of Onmyoji and Onmyoji."

"..."

Ashiya Doman's eyes widened for a moment, but then gradually regained his composure.

He smiled bitterly:

"is it?"

"It seems that my attitude towards Yin-Yang magic... is indeed problematic."

"I lost, Abe."

"Take the mirror. It is under the largest tree in the palace."

"Then--"

"Stop it all."

"Yeah." Ian nodded, "I will."

"..."

"..."

Realizing that Ashiya Doman still had something to say, Ian asked directly:

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Ashiya Doman hesitated for a while and said:
