Combat strength in the spiritual world wasn't the same as in the real world.
For Seiji's side, everyone in the spiritual world was stronger than in the real world. Just how much stronger they were was different, and it wasn't stable either. It was still a rather unclear situation.
Even so, Mai's sniper attack had killed Yakushi's clone, which was an incredible feat! She hadn't been able to reach this level by herself. Instead, she had Seiji's assistance and the White Sakura Goddess's protection.
Mai's maid felt more powerful than ever before. She was confident that she could protect herself even if she had to act as bait.
Perhaps this confidence was arrogance, but it didn't matter. She believed that Seiji would protect her if necessary.
Snipers were the most important targets on the battlefield.
Even if it might be a trap, Yakushi had no other choice. Now that he knew about the existence of a sniper, he absolutely couldn't let it go.
Unless he could completely suppress the enemy camp.
Judging from the strength that the enemy had already displayed, the success rate of doing so wasn't high. Still, it was worth a try.
And so, Yakushi gave Snake 9 an order to release its power.
"Gagagagagagagagagagagagagagh!"
The seven-headed snake monster let out an ear-piercing screech. Dense black mist erupted from its body, forcing all the enemies to retreat. Its gigantic body rapidly shrank, but at the same time, an eighth snake head appeared!
Although its body had shrunk somewhat, its aura was even stronger. All of the snake heads' eyes flashed a blood-red color and emanated a terrifying aura.
Destruction curse, "Snake Decaying Blood"!
All eight snake heads simultaneously shot out a blood-red light that contained the aura of destruction!! This light had a disgusting, rotten smell to it.
"Get behind me!!" Seiji shouted to his companions. At the same time, he activated his [Great Light] spell formation and blocked the enemy monster's attack!
The blood-red light instantly clashed against the golden light, causing it to splash in all directions like liquid!
Tomohisa and the others were injured by just the aftershocks. Everyone hurriedly followed Seiji's order and retreated behind him.
Yakushi took this opportunity to circle around the enemy camp and fly behind them!
Summer Night and the others tried to attack him, but were unable to stop him.
Seiji glanced at Little Shi. She understood his intentions and immediately chased after Yakushi.
Mai saw that the enemy was flying towards her and attempted to use stealth to dodge. However, she was still locked onto.
Since he couldn't avoid it, he had to face it head-on.
He raised the gleaming silver sniper rifle in his hand, aimed, and fired!
The [Mana Bullet] spiraled towards the enemy.
Evasion spell, "Bee Dance"!
Apothecary's body flickered with yellow light as he moved swiftly in the air, leaving behind a large number of afterimages as he evaded the spiritual bullets.
Mai fired several shots in a row, but all of them missed.
Then, when she saw the enemy shooting a large number of spiritual needles at her, she crouched down with her sniper rifle in her arms, turned into a silver light, and moved at high speed.
However, Apothecary had anticipated this. With a slight movement of his palm, all the Devil Bee Needles suddenly changed directions and chased after their target!
Mai adjusted the barrel of her gun, and the spiritual spear in her hand instantly transformed into the shape of an assault rifle. Mai started firing at the spiritual needles!
Seeing that all of the Devil Bee Stingers had been destroyed, Apothecary conjured even more. However, at this moment, a figure in a blue dress approached him through the air and unleashed a large number of icicles!
BOOM!! Apothecary managed to block this powerful spell with his barrier, but was also knocked back a dozen meters.
The next instant, the beehive barrier started glowing black. Two "Night Corrosion Claws" suddenly appeared and swiped at the blue dress girl at an incredible speed!
Shika Kagura dodged one of the black claws while simultaneously slashing with his sword and slicing through the other!
The "Night Corrosion Claws" were actually sliced in half … Apothecary's eyebrows twitched at this scene.
He decisively changed his target and shot a large number of Devil Bee Needles at the blue dress girl!
Destruction spell, "Demon Piercing Awl"!!
Shika Kagura was already prepared for this. He cast a giant golden icicle that collided with the spiritual needles and destroyed all of them. The icicle's momentum didn't stop there, but it pierced through the beehive barrier and viciously struck Apothecary's body!
The doctor coat man was sent flying as if he had been punched by a giant.
Mai, who was still on the ground, transformed her spiritual spear back into its sniper rifle form upon seeing this beautiful attack. She aimed at the flying enemy and fired another wave of spiritual bullets!
Apothecary was hit twice and barely managed to dodge the follow-up attacks with his Bee Dance. He was already furrowing his eyebrows.
The blue dress girl's attacks gave him a strange feeling … Not only was her attack powerful, but it also seemed to contain some sort of special destructive power … Could this be the "answer"?
Apothecary's furrowed brows relaxed when he thought about how the girl before him might be the one who truly killed the Orochi experimental subjects.
He raised his right hand, causing a large amount of dense black mist to appear out of nowhere. The black mist spiraled into his hand and formed a black longsword …
Spirit sword, "Heaven's Wings"!
With this sword in hand, his aura suddenly rose to a whole new level!
Right after, he pointed his longsword at Mai and shot a beam of black light in her direction.
Mai's expression changed as she sensed great danger from this beam of light. She dodged at full speed!
* Boom!! * The beam of light exploded, creating a large amount of black mist that swallowed her whole!
Shika Kagura was worried about Mai upon seeing this. However, he couldn't reveal any openings in front of such a powerful enemy. He could only swing his sword with all his might!
Apothecary easily blocked the gigantic ice blade she sent at him. He once again felt the special power within it.
"You were the one who killed those Orochi experimental subjects, weren't you?" Seiji asked.
Shika Kagura didn't answer. She swung her sword again!
Apothecary blocked, counterattacked, and swung his sword again, creating a dense black mist!
The two of them clashed with their swords. The ice blades and the black mist fiercely clashed in midair. In just a short period of time, they exchanged several dozen blows.
In terms of technique, Shika Kagura had the advantage. However, Apothecary was even stronger now that he was using his spirit sword. He forcefully suppressed her, and finally sent her crashing into the ground with a single stab!
The girl landed heavily on the ground and slid quite a distance before she managed to stabilize herself.
Apothecary pointed his sword at her in midair and shot out another beam of black light!
Shika Kagura dodged and managed to dodge the black mist created by the explosion of his sword.
However, this was all within Apothecary's expectations.
* Boom! Boom! Boom! * …
Apothecary kept shooting, intentionally avoiding the girl with the slightest deviation. After a large amount of black mist exploded from the ground, he formed a seal with one hand …
Sealing spell, "Demon-Sealing Chains"!
A gigantic black spell formation appeared in midair. All the black mist swiftly gathered together and formed a dense chain that surrounded the blue-clothed girl! The chain then suddenly contracted and formed a pitch-black chain barrier that tried to imprison her!!
At this moment, spiritual bullets suddenly shot towards him. Apothecary didn't even bother to look as he blocked all of them with his sword. He then shot out a sword light to counterattack Mai who had ambushed him!
The maid was unable to dodge this attack. She vanished at the last moment and was replaced by a small paper doll that was torn apart by the sword light.
Shika Kagura grit her teeth and tried to resist the restriction. Within this barrier, she was unable to use her "Paper Substitute" to escape.
A golden spiritual body appeared and swung its White Lotus spiritual sword at the chain barrier.
Apothecary blinked in front of the spiritual body and blocked the spiritual sword with his sword. He then counterattacked with his sword, causing a tremendous amount of black mist to explode and shatter Seiji's telekinesis clone!
He was going to capture this blue-clothed girl. He wouldn't allow anyone to stop him.
After Apothecary pushed his [Demon-Sealing Chains] to the limit, he tossed out his [Heaven Feather Sword]. It transformed into a giant pitch-black snake that opened its mouth and attempted to devour the girl along with the barrier!!
A sharp glint flashed in Shika Kagura's eyes as she sensed a life-threatening danger.
A unique aura began faintly emanating from her body.
At the same time, Seiji once again activated his [Great Light] spell formation. He cooperated with his companions' all-out attacks to suppress the eight-headed snake monster!
As he did this, a blinding golden light speedily formed eight greatswords in the air above the snake monster. These greatswords all descended and pierced through all of the snake's heads!!
Snake 9 wasn't even able to scream. He was in tremendous pain.
However, he still wasn't dead. Even though Seiji and the others had done so much, it still wasn't enough to defeat this incredibly troublesome monster.
Still, it was enough to buy some time.
Seiji left the snake monster for Summer Night and the others to deal with as he returned to where Little Shi was.
If anything happened to Little Shi, he would definitely tear Apothecary to shreds!!!
