The Great Master of Gensokyo

The peace of Mount Nara couldn't last long after all.

"Something's wrong, Yuzuru Yuzuru!" Frog said nervously, "Soldiers are coming up from the foot of Mount Nara with murderous intent."

Suwa Daishin Shrine has finally regained its current state of religious prosperity.

Frogko was unwilling to lose everything about Suwa Grand Shrine just like that.

"It seems there are still a thousand people left." Kanako frowned. The only thing the two gods could rely on now was Saigyouji Hanyu.

He was holding the adorable rabbit-demon loli in his arms, and Inaba Tei let out a soft "ah," his heart tightening.

She had finally managed to survive in Nara Mountain, and she didn't want her life to end like this.

"So she really came." Saigyouji Yuzuru's lips twitched. He had initially thought it was just a rumor, and guessed that the most likely reason for her visit was Midori.

"Um, Lord Yuzuru, if they're doing this for Midori, then Midori should leave with them."

Those were soldiers, after all. Even though Saigyouji Hanyu was an Onmyoji, Midori didn't want to cause him any trouble.

"Don't talk nonsense. Even if they did it for you, I would never hand you over." Glancing at Midori, Saigyouji Yuusuke shook his head. "Since they're unwelcome guests, let's just take care of them."

Saigyouji Hanyu originally did not want to get involved in this battle, but now he has no choice.

"Then, Lord Yuusuke, what do you plan to do?" Hagoromo Gitsune asked with some curiosity. "After all, they are soldiers of the Minamoto clan. In the human world, the Minamoto clan is a very prestigious and powerful force."

"With the strength of the master alone, he may not be able to withstand the might of the Minamoto clan."

As long as Saigyouji Hanyu stays in Nara Mountain and resolves this Genji problem, there will be many more Genji problems to come.

“Then I won’t stay in Nagaya,” Saigyouji Habu said calmly, having already made up his mind.

"Besides, I never intended to stay in Nara indefinitely. The arrival of the Genji clan presents me with an opportunity."

A new main quest has appeared in the system's taskbar.

[Mission: The Descendance of the False God]

Ending the chaos in Heian-kyo and defeating the newly emerged Yamata no Orochi will grant 300 achievement points, 50 shikigami materials, and the weapon Totsuka Blade.

"Eh!?" Hagoromo Gitsune was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Could it be that you intend to intervene in this war?"

"Yes."

A faint smile appeared on Saigyouji Hanyu's lips.

How can you push your limits if you don't try?

"You're just a human being, what are you talking about?" Ending a war isn't something that can be done with a joke.

"If you insist on doing so, Hagoromo Gitsune will not accompany you."

She stayed with Saigyouji Hanyu simply because she believed he could provide her with a safe haven.

However, if Saigyouji Hanyu intervenes in this war, then inevitably, Hagoromo Gitsune might come to the attention of Abe no Seimei.

She did not want her will to be influenced or manipulated by others again.

"I won't force you, Hagoromo Gitsune." Saigyouji Hanyu seemed to have anticipated this outcome.

"However, I have a reason to do this."

There's no time now to prepare for Saigyouji Hanyu.

With the Fire Spirit, the Oboroguruma, and even the Onmyoji shikigami like the Demon Blade Princess and the Snow Woman, Saigyouji Hanyu has finally gained control of a force.

Rather than passively participating in this war, Saigyouji Hanyu hoped to grow through it.

"I will use this battle to become a true master of Yin and Yang."

Chapter Sixty: The Blizzard Approaches

"The Great Onmyoji..."

Hagoromo Gitsune was very interested, somewhat surprised that Saigyouji Hanyu would say such a thing.

"Lord Hanyu, even if you possess my power, you may not be able to become a great Onmyoji." Hagoromo Gitsune raised her head and said to Saigyouji Hanyu, "The strength of the Minamoto clan is equivalent to that of the imperial family. In the competition between the Abe and Minamoto clans, Lord Hanyu is merely a minor Onmyoji."

Hagoromo Gitsune hopes that Saigyouji Hanyu can accept this reality.

"Besides, you're only a few years old..."

The others had accumulated decades of experience by the time they became Grand Onmyoji. Furthermore, Saigyouji Hanyu wasn't a yokai.

Little did Hagoromo Gitsune know that she was talking to a player who was cheating.

Although Saigyouji Hanyu is human, he's just a cheater.

With the power of both the Fire Spirit and Hagoromo Gitsune, what is Saigyouji Hanyu cowardly about?

Besides, he also has the Demon Blade Princess.

"I am an Onmyoji, but I am also human. Do you believe that humans can transcend their limits?" Saigyouji Yuusuke's face revealed a confident smile. "Moreover, I will not abandon the two gods."

"From the moment I became an Onmyoji, my goal was to have the power to protect those around me."

Initially, it was for Yuyuko's sake, hoping to have the power to seal the Saigyou Ayakashi.

Now they've met Midori, Hagoromo Gitsune, and even two gods.

"Fear won't solve the problem."

For Yuzuru Saigyouji, this was a chance to rack up points.

Not counting the upgrade, Saigyouji Hanyu has now reached Lv3. It's just that his personal combat strength hasn't reached that of a high-level yokai, but with the help of his shikigami and the power of the Yoto Hime, he wants to live a more peaceful life, so naturally he can't stay out of the world forever.

“I promised to give you shelter, so naturally I can’t let you go into danger.”

"Snow Woman, go teach them a lesson."

As Saigyouji Hanyu finished speaking, a cold wind suddenly rose, and the girl's beautiful long white hair and white kimono dress gave off an extremely cold feeling.

"Yes, my lord."

After saying that, the Snow Woman disappeared from Saigyouji Hanyu's sight.

"How did your shikigami appear? I didn't even notice it before it appeared!" Kanako was somewhat surprised. The shikigami she summoned hadn't left a trace at all.

“Because I’m not an ordinary Onmyoji,” Saigyouji Hanyu said calmly, leaving Kanako speechless for a moment. Saigyouji Hanyu, this Onmyoji, is indeed a bit different from others.

"Hanyu is so amazing (??????)?" Frog Girl didn't care about anything else. The more amazing Saigyouji Hanyu was, the happier she was, because being by Saigyouji Hanyu's side really made her feel so comfortable.

"Then, Yoto Hime." Saigyouji Yuusuke snapped his fingers, and Yoto Hime, who had been hiding in the shadows, appeared.

"Go help the Snow Woman." Following Saigyouji Yuusuke's order, Yaodao-hime nodded and caught up with the vanished Snow Woman.

"Lord Yuzuru, when did so many new shikigami appear?"

Cui Zi looked nervous, and surprisingly, they were all girls.

"So beautiful," she couldn't help but marvel inwardly; the shikigami's beauty was truly natural. This made our Midori a little nervous.

Lord Yuzuru, you wouldn't be so captivated by the beauty of a shikigami, would you?

...

"Ahem, it was summoned by chance," Saigyouji Yuusuke coughed, indicating that his shikigami had a unique method of invisibility and would not be easily detected. "Let's go take a look."

He immediately changed the subject, making Hagoromo Gitsune purse her lips and not expose Saigyouji Yuusuke's embarrassment, "Then let's go and see for ourselves the power of Lord Yuusuke's shikigami."

She also had some anticipation in her heart about what kind of power Saigyouji Hanyu's shikigami could unleash.

At this moment, the celestial phenomena outside Suwa Shrine changed.

Snow-covered mountains were swept by a massive blizzard.

With a loud 'boom,' the phantom of the fire spirit appeared behind Saigyouji Yuusuke. The snow woman drew spiritual power from Saigyouji Yuusuke and unleashed a blizzard that swept across the mountains.

"Is the Snow Woman's power really that strong?"

Saigyouji Hanyu was somewhat surprised, but after thinking about it, he realized that the Yuki-onna was a yokai from the snowy mountains, and being born in the snowy mountains, she also had certain special abilities.

The Blizzard skill has a truly enormous range.

Such power is beyond what a moderately powerful demon could achieve.

At the foot of the mountain, the soldiers, caught in a blizzard, had to stop in their tracks.

"Are you... are you kidding me?"

"Why did the weather suddenly change? It's impossible for it to snow here."

"We've been discovered..."

The expressions of the accompanying Onmyoji changed as the blizzard intensified, and the rising winds made it almost impossible for them to move forward.

The spell array was formed at this moment, transforming into a barrier to dispel the effects of the blizzard.

"Could there be a Yuki-onna (snow woman) or similar yokai (supernatural beings) on the mountain?" But how could that be? A Yuki-onna could only be found in a snowy mountain, right?

Mount Nara is not some desolate, frigid snow-capped mountain.

"Stop."

The Snow Woman's voice echoed all around. She could project her voice even under the cover of a blizzard.

"A mere Yuki-onna can't stop the Genji army." Watanabe Tsuna sneered, drawing his knee-cutting sword from his waist. "Show yourself, Yuki-onna."

"Get out, or not?"

He spoke again, this time using the Snow Woman to transmit his voice.

The massive blizzard appeared even more intense.

“Tell your lord to lay down the futile resistance. Otherwise, even if you stop the Minamoto army once, there will be many more Minamoto armies that will flatten Mount Nara.”

Watanabe no Tsuna was arrogant, and his thousand soldiers were just as high-spirited. By using magic to hinder their march, the Genji army was even less likely to retreat.

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences."

Upon witnessing this scene, Saigyouji Hanyu simply shook his head slightly.

He sat atop the enormous fire spirit, which carried him and Midori through the air, while Hagoromo Gitsune stood beside him. All three observed the Genji army using invisibility techniques.

However, it was clear that the blizzard was not enough to stop them.

"Destroy them."

At this moment, he left no room for maneuver.

We shouldn't show mercy just because they are human; that's unnecessary pity.

PS2: I've been working on the upcoming plot lately, so it's been a bit slow. I promise I won't delay!

Chapter Sixty-One: Crimson Lotus Wrath

call!

The massive blizzard intensified.

Beneath the Snow Woman's storm domain, the temperature plummeted to freezing. The thousand-strong army appeared utterly vulnerable in the face of the massive blizzard.

"How dare you!" Watanabe Tsuna was furious, his eyes turning bloodshot.

Once the divine eye is opened, that is, the ability to "see ghosts," demons and monsters that are invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people will have nowhere to hide under the power of "seeing ghosts."

"That's it!" Watanabe Tsunade gripped the knee-cutting blade, and his aura suddenly surged, as if he had transformed into a demon.

With a single sword strike, he aimed at the snow woman who was commanding the blizzard to descend.

A dazzling sword light tore through the sky.

"Whoosh, ice crystals."

The crystalline ice crystals transformed into an ice shield, protecting the Yuki-onna. Watanabe no Tsuna's sword light was blocked by the Yuki-onna's ice shield.

"Die with shame!"

The Demon Sword Princess drew her sword, its crimson blade transforming into a wave of intense heat that swept over them. This greatly surprised Watanabe Tsuna, as a dense aura of demonic energy gathered around him.

"Onikiri, drink blood."
