"You are really strong," Tsuchimikaze Haruko said as the corner of his mouth twitched slightly as he casually took the Zen staff that had been enhanced by the curse technique.
"It is okay." Kansan Yomi curled his lips.
"Sorry." At this moment, Hyakuchi Tenma's voice suddenly sounded. His tone was low and he apologized as if he was sleep-talking.
"Sorry, I am very sorry. It is all my fault. The barrier …" Hyakuchi Tenma kept blaming himself as Kurahashi Kyoko grabbed his arm and ran.
"Tenma." Kyoko said softly.
"Sorry." Hyakuchi Tenma who was in a state of self-loathing apologized instinctively.
"Huh? What is wrong with you? " Before Kyoko could say anything, Dalian Temple's Suzaku who stopped suddenly took over the conversation and said with a sharp voice.
Due to the special attitude in her voice, Hyakuchi Tenma also stopped and turned to look at Dalian Temple's Suzaku. At the same time, the others also stopped, even though they could still see the Shikigami who was breaking through the barrier and chasing after them …
"Hiding a talisman to break the barrier. This is a super old trick. It is only a coincidence that you were chosen as a pawn! Or rather, it is because you are related to this guy that you were set up. This guy is the target! You are just a gift. Frankly speaking, you have too much self-awareness! "Suzaku, who didn't hide her anxiety, said with sharp words.
"This …"
Although Dalian Temple's Suzaku's words were sharp, it was the truth. Because he did hear Ashiya Douman who caused all of this to happen say that he deliberately chose the people around Tsuchimikaze Haruko.
Hyakuchi Tenma also understood. The reason he was chosen was because he was the weakest among his companions. He did not have the power of the [Ghost] like Ada Don'er, nor did he come from a famous family like Tsuchimikaze Haruko and Kurahashi Kyoko. He was the most suitable person to be used.
"The opponent is [D]. I have said it many times. He is so powerful that even the Spell Search Department was shocked. Being targeted by him, it is impossible for someone of your level to deal with him. So. What do you want? Self-blame and whatnot were just overly arrogant actions that would spoil the mood. Enough, Eye-kun, in order to not get in the way, quickly retreat! "
The sharp words of the Dalian Temple's Suzuki were like a chopping knife, once again interrupting the thoughts of the self-blaming Hachibana Pegasus, leaving him speechless. He could not find a reason to refute.
"We lost to Daitō-ji by one point … Indeed, not many people noticed that Douman Ashiya was toying with them. At least, I don't have that kind of confidence. "Seeing that the Hundred-Branched Pegasus had returned to its normal state, Adon laughed.
"Just as Dalian Temple and Dong 'er said, everyone was the same when it came to the fact that they couldn't see through the trap. Today, Alpha and Omega were more careful than usual, but in the end, they didn't find the talisman. It wasn't Pegasus's fault alone. Although it's regrettable, the other party is indeed more skilled. "Natsumu Tsuchimikaze immediately comforted him.
Alpha and Omega were the high-level Spirit-branded Retainers of the Yin-Yang School. Their role was to register the aura characteristics of each student of the Yin-Yang School and the spiritual waves of the Spirit-branded Retainers they carried with them to prevent the possibility of other high-level Yin-Yang Masters using Yin-Yang Jutsu to disguise themselves. Of course, their function also had some limitations. They could not monitor some Spirit-branded Retainers. At least, when Tsutomu Kagura, who had Bai Rui sealed in her body, passed through the gate of the Yin-Yang School, they did not detect the existence of a Spiritual Beast. But Yama Tsurugi, who had the Stone of Slaughter sealed in her body, was mistakenly detected as having a [Ghost] in her body and was specially checked by the teachers of the Yin-Yang School.
In addition, they were also part of the self-defense system of the Yin-Yang School, blocking the enemy when they attacked Ashiya Douman.
"Really, after all, Natame and I have been causing trouble for everyone, but you have never hated us and still get along with us, right? Isn't that right, Tenma? "Tsutomu Haruto said in his unique way of comforting people.
"After all, we are just students. Everyone is immature. Because of this, there is a meaning in uniting, isn't there?"
"Haruto." Tenma Tenma looked at Tsutomu Haruto with a touched face and called softly.
Finally, Jingzi patted Tenma Tenma's shoulder and said softly with a smile, "Have you heard of this sentence? Reflect and feel lost later. Now is not the time to do this, right? "
"Yes, I completely agree with Jingzi." Ada Don'er looked around and nodded in agreement.
Because of comforting Tenma Tenma Tenma, the group of Spirit-branded Retainers that were slightly hindered by Tsurugi's attack had cleared the obstacles and rushed close to them. Moreover, there were more Spirit-branded Retainers pouring into the school through the previous opening and rushing towards them.
Seeing the current situation, Tsutomu Haruto couldn't help but tighten his grip on the Zen staff in his hand. His Guardian Spirit-branded Retainer - Kun - pointed the blade of his dagger outwards and lowered his body to assume an attacking posture. Kurahashi Kyoko had White Cherry and Black Wind take a step forward. Tsutomu Natame, Dalian Temple Suzuki, and Ada Don'er all had serious expressions on their faces as they faced off against the Spirit-branded Retainers that were faintly surrounding them. As a group, Tsurugi Tsurugi and Tsutomu Kagura also took out their talismans and looked like they were ready to start a massacre.
"Sorry... Thank you." Looking at everyone around him, Tenma Tenma Tenma's heart was filled with gratitude as he whispered softly. The former's "sorry" was an apology for causing the current situation and making his companions worry. The latter's "thank you" was a response to everyone's efforts.
Then, Tenma Tenma Tenma also took out his talismans and looked at the Spirit-branded Retainers around him with a guarded expression. At this time, his face no longer had the cowardice and self-blame from before. Instead, he was full of energy.
"So, what should we do next? Defeat them all one by one? "Dalian Temple Suzuki looked at her companions around her. She asked.
"Natame, you decide," Ada Don'er said.
Natame was stunned. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Ada Don'er.
"Among everyone, you are the key person. We will obey your judgment. Dalian Temple, and the two of you, do you have any objections? "Ada Don'er looked around at the others and said.
"Hmph, if I feel unhappy, I will leave on my own. I am different from you guys. I can handle it by myself." Dalian Temple Suzuki snorted arrogantly.
"Whatever, there is no better choice right now." Tsurugi Tsurugi had a frivolous smile on his face.
"No objections." Tsutomu Kagura agreed.
"Natame. Please. "Seeing that the three most likely to have objections had no objections, Tsutomu Haruto immediately said.
"... At least Douman Ashiya said that he would not hurt the other students. In short, we only need to worry about ourselves." Tsutomu Haruto, who had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said with a serious face.
"Well, I didn't have the time to worry about others." Ada Don'er looked at Tsutomu Haruto's serious face and casually interrupted.
"However. It is difficult for us to fight against [D] alone. The barrier has been destroyed, and the basic plan is to wait for the Yin-Yang Hall to rescue us. "Tsutomu Haruto, who was already used to Ada Don'er's style, didn't mind and continued.
"Understood. So, we have to defend, right? Or just escape outside the dormitory? "Tsutomu Haruto asked.
"In the current situation, it's impossible to escape without being discovered by the enemy. What if we're discovered? If we are discovered, they might chase us outside the dormitory. If that happens, it will affect the streets outside. We have to avoid this situation. " Even in such an environment, Tsutomu Haruto was still thinking about the others and answered cautiously.
"We have decided, we will hold on. (Then we will guard it.) "Ada Don'er and Yama Haruto said at the same time. After saying that, the two looked at each other with a slightly strange expression.
"It will probably become a long battle. But we can't escape to the underground incantation field, which means … "Ada Don'er, who looked away, continued.
"There, there are other empty practice rooms, right? There are barriers in the practice rooms. Although they are not as strong as the incantation field, we should be able to buy more time if we take refuge there. "Hyakuto Pegasus continued.
Tsutomu Haruto nodded in agreement with Hyakuto Pegasus's suggestion.
"There are many enemies. If we fight them one by one, we can't afford it."
"Yes, the talismans are limited."
"Yes, escape into the practice room's barrier to preserve your strength. If the barrier is broken, then move to another practice room. Try to control your own consumption as much as possible, and try to buy as much time as possible. "
"Understood. Then, the closest one to here is the eighth practice room. "
At this point, everyone agreed on the direction of escape and the hiding place.
"Before that, we have to break through here first." Haruto Yama Haruto looked at the shikigami approaching her and said softly.
"Everyone, are you ready? Start moving slowly. Do not leave your companions, maintain a circular formation. "Tsutomu Haruto Yama Haruto took a deep breath and gave an order with a serious expression.
"Okay, Haruto Yama, there is no need to rush anyway." Tsutomu Haruto Yama said.
"Yes, Haruto Yama Haruto is right. Also, Don'er, how long can your [Transformation] last?" Tsutomu Haruto Yama Haruto Yama nodded and turned his head slightly to ask Ada Don'er.
"Like now, it can last for twenty minutes. However, I can only last for five minutes if I fight at full strength. " Ada Don'er, whose body was burning with pale blue ghostly energy, caused a set of pauldrons to appear on her shoulders and arms, answered.
By fighting at full strength, she meant using a large amount of ghostly energy to cover her entire body with a layer of ancient armor made of ghostly energy.
"Understood. Then, we will let Don'er fight at the critical moment. The vanguard will be Spring Tiger, Kun, and I, followed by Kurahashi and Dong 'er. Kurahashi, deploy White Cherry and Black Maple to the left and right sides of the circular formation. "Natsume Tukumon arranged.
"Understood!" Kyoko Kurahashi replied.
"Then, finally, Tenma and Daitō-ji, and …" Natsume Tsuchimikaze turned to look at Katsura and Tsuchimiya Kagura. Up until now, she only knew that the two of them were Daitō-ji's classmates, but she didn't know their names.
"Remonstrant Mountain Huang Quan. Just call me Huang Quan." Remonstrant Mountain Huang Quan smiled.
"I'm Tsutomu Kagura. Just like Yomi, you can call me Kagura," Tsutomu Kagura continued.
"Alright then. Lastly, Tenma, Yomi, Kagura, and Dai-ji. Dalian Temple will be last … "Tumon Xiamu did not hesitate to make the arrangements. Because he wasn't sure of their true combat strength, and they seemed to be spell users like Pegasus, Xiamu directly arranged for them to be in the same position as Pegasus, as emergency backup.
"Very good. To what extent can you boast? Let me carefully appreciate it from the back. Let me, the prodigy of the [Twelve Divine Generals], "Daitō-ji Suzuka said proudly. And in order to show off her importance, he especially emphasized his own identity.
Natsume Tsuchimikaze smiled at this and didn't take it to heart.
"Alright. Then, let's move. "Natsume Tsuchimikaze finally said.
With that said, everyone began to move slowly toward the entrance of the passage in front of them according to the previous arrangement.
As soon as they moved, the sensitive Shikage-type Shinigami immediately discovered their situation and took small steps forward. In an instant, an even stronger sense of oppression pressed down on everyone present.
As the vanguard, Haruko Tsuchimikaze's heart tightened and began to respond to the Shikage-type Shinigami's movements.
Just like this, in the midst of the confrontation with the Shikage-type Shinigami, everyone slowly moved forward.
But soon, the balance was broken, and a Shikage-type Shinigami roared and rushed toward Haruko Tsuchimikaze.
Haruko Tsuchimikaze was not timid and immediately used the Zen staff in his hand to meet the Shikage-type Shinigami. At the same time, the protector Shikage-type Kun immediately slashed at the Shikage-type Shinigami's leg.
With regards to Kun's attack, the Shikage-type Shinigami completely ignored it and continued to attack Haruko Tsuchimikaze.
"This fellow …" Haruko Tsuchimikaze muttered unhappily and continued to urge the curse power in his body to activate the technique on the front of the Zen staff, forming a curse blade and cutting the Shikage-type Shinigami in front of him.
In an instant, a large amount of stagnation appeared on the Shikage-type Shinigami that was cut. But even so, the Shikage-type Shinigami still persisted in attacking Haruko Tsuchimikaze. Left with no choice, Haruko Tsuchimikaze could only continue to increase the output of his curse power to resist the Shikage-type Shinigami.
At this time, Natsume Tsuchimikaze's arm stretched out from the gap beside Haruko Tsuchimikaze's waist and threw a talisman at the Shikage-type Shinigami. Fu Chunhu recognized that talisman. It was one of the basic Five Elemental Talismans, the Metal Elemental Talisman.
"Urgent as the law commands."
In the next moment, the talisman was activated and turned into a sharp blade, cutting the neck of the Shikage-type Shinigami in front of Haruko Tsuchimikaze. The Shikage-type Shinigami turned into spiritual droplets in the explosion of stagnation and disappeared.
With the death of the first Shikage-type Shinigami, the surrounding Shikage-type Shinigami no longer stood to the side like spectators. Like a wave, they started to attack Ado Don 'er, Kurahashi Kyoko, Shiba Tenma, Chiyama Yomi, and Tsuchimiya Kagura.
