258-Attack on Shitenji ⑧




Is it over?

 O'Sullivan raised his voice with a face full of hatred. In the bleachers and in the plaza in front of the seats of the Shitennji overlords, a deadly battle with a team of five men led by Gong Shinzenko was taking place.
 And even below the large monitors installed, the Omine family's team is struggling to surround Nafas, but their ability to corrode all of Nafas keeps them from getting close.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's only a matter of time now.

 Omine's team facing Naphas was troubled by the breath with various characteristics that Naphas emitted from his mouth. Especially difficult to deal with was the black breath that corrodes and incapacitates even spirit arts.
 The Daifeng family's team naturally tried to blow out these breaths by the wind spirits against the people with the ability to control these various breaths and attack them without a pause. However, this black breath canceled out all the spirit arts, and the wind spirit arts also disappeared as soon as they touched this black breath. Therefore, only a small amount was able to push back the corrosive breath that Nafas was releasing.

'Come on ... spirit user. If you don't come, we'll come from here. We have come to crush Shitenji, this is the answer.

 Once again, Naphas spreads his mouth wide open as if it were split open, spewing out a lot of breath.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it. The spirits will be contaminated with that. 'Hey! Look, I'll tell you again, don't ever touch it. If you touch that thing, it will corrode us too!

Yes!

 Moreover, this black breath was released endlessly, and the spirit wizards of the Omine family couldn't even get close enough to get close, and when they got a distance, they were attacked by blue-black breath and other things that invaded their nervous systems. The leader of the Daifeng team noticed this as the insects flying around them convulsed and scattered on the ground.
 They were constantly emitting black breath while blowing other breaths at the same time. As a result, the Omine family's team was moving solidly, concentrating on defending themselves without creating any blind spots.
 Kanzaki Isao was able to confirm the situation from a distance. But this is not the time to do that either.
 They are gradually being driven into a corner against O'Sullivan.

''Kuh! Mr. Gong, is this guy an immortal?

'Attacking and attacking will have no effect! We can't hold it any longer!

 The team of five gods in front of the gods regroups around Gong.
 The members of God-mae's team are correct in pointing out that they have been attacking with numerous coordinated attacks so far, but O'Sullivan doesn't seem to take it in stride at all and doesn't stop moving.

'I know! The forces that Takaaki-san just sent to us are already coming. We'll hold our ground until then. But this guy's ability........

 Just a few moments ago, the commander, Kamizen Takaaki, was informed by Kamizen Isao that one of the attackers was [Black-Eyed O'Sullivan]. Then he immediately received a call to send reinforcements. He also said that not only that, he would send more than half of Omine and Kamizen's team to all of the attackers.
 That meant that Kamizen Takaaki had decided to counterattack and that he was confident of victory. So it was important for them to keep themselves stranded here without letting the enemy get away.

(But what the hell does that mean? Our attacks are hitting and are having no effect at all. I would have liked to get some more information before my friends arrived, but any further inroads would be dangerous for us. As I thought, we'll have to turn our entire bodies into dust at the same time to defeat this thing. (In that case, we need to do something about that weapon.

 O'Sullivan does bear wounds and injuries. In fact, earlier, O'Sullivan's movements were slowed down when his left arm and right leg were deep-armed to the point of near amputation. However. O'Sullivan was able to rapidly repair his wounds with an unbelievable speed and return to normal.
 And there is one more thing that is puzzling.

 (Or are you saying you hadn't really fought yet?)

 O'Sullivan's movements and attacks were increasing in power as the fight dragged on. It was as if he was stepping up a gear in battle. If you take it as it is, it means that O'Sullivan is getting more and more serious.

(Don't tell me this guy is playing in front of Shitenji? (And I still don't see the upper limit of seriousness!

'Ooh-ooh-ooh! Let's go!

 O'Sullivan rushes forward.

'Mm! Spread out!

Well, I guess it's time for me to go to that seat of power!

 Saying that, O'Sullivan leapt high and threw the halper, a replica of the divine sword, down at high speed like a throwing spear to the center where the five of the divine front team were positioned.
 Immediately, the excellent spirit user in front of the gods took evasive action from the Halper's landing point. Gong was surprised that he had thrown the weapon that he had taken maximum caution with earlier, but he also considered this as an opportunity. Gong and the others were clearly having a hard time with that halper that cut off everything it touched.
 Frighteningly, this halper would even cut off our spirit arts. That's why we executed a plan to attack its entire body and turn it into dust all at once, but it would cut through the jutsu and leave us short of firepower.
 But now, O'Sullivan gave up that troublesome weapon, even if it was for an attack. If they could get through this and take away the Halper, O'Sullivan's strength would certainly be reduced.
 Koukou Jinzen breaks away and sends a signal to his team members with his eyes as they disperse. The team members who understood this signal accurately, while dispersing, simultaneously planned their jutsu and prepared their next action so that they could move instantly after avoiding the attack.
 But........at this time, the excellence of this team in front of God was avenged.
 The bullets landed at the point where Halper had been earlier.

(Alright! (You call out the impact and go for the weapon... what?

Shit. Defense at all costs!

 Gong's cries were drowned out by the blast and shockwave containing intense spiritual power. Several times more energy of destruction than Gong expected was released around the point where the halper had landed.

''Fool! You got greedy, you miscellaneous soldiers of Shitenji!

 The aftermath of that energy extended to O'Sullivan's companion, Nafas, and Oomine's team fighting it, as well as the heavyweight seats where Mizuho and Zhu Yin and the others were.
 Nafas shifted his gaze towards O'Sullivan with a thudgy air. Just now, the destructive energy of the halperd released by O'Sullivan was surging over here like a huge wave.

''Baboon, a great deal of power. O'Sullivan, the answer is that it's done more than I expected.''

 As he said that, Nafas spread his large mouth and a reddish-brown breath was released from it, mixing with the black air that ate even the spirit arts of the Omine team around him, covering Nafas as if to protect him.

''What the hell was that! Gong-san and the others!

Wards! At the same time, rock wall, deploy the wind!

 The spirit wizards of the Omine family who were facing Naphas also noticed this situation and immediately distanced themselves from Naphas while deploying barriers and wards around their leader.
 Naturally, this shockwave reached the heavyweight seats in the Shitenji family where Mizuho and the others were.

''That one! Mom!

 At the moment when the mighty force bursts forth, Mizuho half stands and widens her eyes.
 However, Zhu Yin did not move slightly.

''It's okay, Mizuho.''

But Gong and the others! Kuh!

 At this moment, that shockwave hit the heavyweight seat. All the scenery that should be visible from the heavyweight seat was shut down, and Mizuho almost unconsciously tended to the spirits.
 But.........Mizuho gave a distracted expression.

''What is this...?''

 The heavyweight seats were quiet itself, despite the shockwave that came with a terrifying amount of energy within. Their vision was blocked off, but there wasn't even a vibration. Mizuho couldn't hide her surprise as she looked around the Shigechin seat and saw the head of the Shinzen family, Zabanosuke, and the head of the Omine family, Hayoun, seated on either side of Mizuho and the others, forming a sign in front of their chests, clothed in a spiritual power that seemed to be highly compressed from their entire bodies.

''........Old man Sama, Soun.

 Mizuho had never seen Zamanosuke and Soun like this before. The always nagging Sabanosuke, and Soun, who was calm and uninhibited throughout. Now, Mizuho was also emitting a kind of breathless spirit.

'Sit down, Mizuho,'

 Zhu Yin raised her voice as if nothing was wrong.

''But Gong and the others who were at the brunt of that attack!

"...sit down.

"...and...?

 Zhu Yin's words uttered in the same tone as before. However, the unearned pressure in those words caused Mizuho to stiffen and sit down as it was.

''Yes, you will remain as you are as if nothing has happened. With us doing so, the people of Shitennji can fight to their heart's content. Right now, we are leaving it up to Takaaki and the others. Then you must never make a move unless you are asked to do so by Xiao Ming. Even if Gong and the others have been wiped out, you must not lose this attitude. The Four Heavenly Temples are the Four Heavenly Temples, no matter what. And the Four Heavenly Temples are us. It is the pride of those who serve Shitenji that we are here doing what we have always done here. Know that, Zuiho.

....

 The pressure contained in this vermilion tone's words caused Mizuho to close her mouth. After all this time, she reaffirmed the meaning of Shitenji's name.
 Mizuho meditated, and then opened her eyes a moment later.
 The tremendous shockwave weakened and her vision became clearer. After undoing the mark here, Zamanosuke and Hayoun turned back to Zhu Yin and Mizuho from the left and right, and their faces broke into a smile.
 Their eyes contained loyalty, pride, and above all, joy.
 The reason for this is because there was Shitenji Akane and Shitenji Mizuho himself, the genius that Shitenji is proud of, who never changed his expression as if nothing had happened.



 O'Sullivan laughed keratotically as he pulled out the halper stuck in the center of the crater where the earth had eroded.

''Hahaha! They're still alive. That's quite something, you Four Heavenly Father Spirit Masters! But is it already a bug's breath?

 Around them, the Gongs who had been hit at the closest distance by O'Sullivan's attack earlier were lying scattered in the dirt.
 They are excellent Four Heavenly Temple spirit users. If they had focused on defense and evasion, they might not have suffered so much damage. However, their actions, even with the idea of taking away the Halper released by O'Sullivan, resulted in the current situation.

''Ha! Well, let's just put the finishing touches on it.

 O'Sullivan carries Halper on his right shoulder and walks slowly up to the side of Shinzen Gong.
 This situation can be seen from the heavyweight seat. Mizuho and Akane are staring at this with sober faces.
 Lefty Umanosuke and Hayoun are also behaving as if they are gazing at the scenery without changing a single color.

''Umm........hmm.

I'm sorry to hear you're awake. That's not gonna be a quick and easy way to die. I'm gonna drive it slow and steady through your heart. I'm gonna feel that foreign object inside you as you die.

 When he said that, O'Sullivan clutched the halper on his shoulder in his opposite hand and raised the cut end of it over the heart of Godzen Gong, who was buried slumped in a breathless heap.
 It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.
 Mizuho clenched both fists, though her expression did not change.
 It was then.........
 I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well.

''M.......M! What the hell? Mougou!

 O'Sullivan, noticing this presence, tried to catch the mysterious object flying at him with his halberd as quickly as possible to crash into him, but failed, and was blown away from the spot to the side with the mysterious object.

''........that thing!

 Zamanosuke, who was of the same Shinzen family as Jinzen Isao, was looking at this situation with determination, but as expected, he raised his voice at the unexpected event, and Mizuho widened her eyes as well.

''Nuuuu!''

 O'Sullivan was enjoying the aftermath of his victory when he was interrupted, and he halpered up into the air with a halper, blowing up the object that had crashed into him with blood climbing to his head. He then took a passive position and regained his stance.

'Who's there! You bastard who has been licking my ass!

 O'Sullivan turned his head in the direction he had flown at the edge of the crater and became furious. Then he spotted the person standing on the other side of the crater he was in, who seemed to have imitated the lick.
 



 At this moment, for the first time in her life, Mizuho showed a look of infatuation towards the opposite s*x.
 In contrast, in the direction of O'Sullivan's eyes, which were trembling with anger and glaring at him with murderous intent, stood a boy with a sharp gleam in his eye.

''Te Te........''

 Then the boy was more than twenty meters away, but his quiet voice was firmly heard by O'Sullivan.

'He's one of yours, isn't he? Treat it with more care.

Huh?

 For a moment, O'Sullivan didn't understand the meaning of those words.
 Then the object he had cut up earlier with the halper falls behind him and black air begins to drift around him. With a gasp, O'Sullivan turns around.

'It's Nafas?'

 There was a small, fat man with an unusually large mouth that had been paired up with him when they attacked, foaming, and his torso was unconscious with blood gushing out of a large wound that O'Sullivan had probably cut on it.

'You were the one who put the stop to it, though,'

 When he said that, Yuto pointed the posture in his right hand at O'Sullivan.

''If it's coming at you, come over here. I'll take care of it.''

 Yuto unusually provoked his enemy, which was very effective. O'Sullivan, who was already furious, was completely cut off by the cocky boy's irreverence.

''Teeeeeeeeeee! Don't move there!

 As O'Sullivan grabbed his halper and was about to head towards us, Yuto quickly called out to Marion and Akera behind him.

'Marion-san, Akera-san, now! While I'm trying to attract that guy, you can collect those people!

I understand!

'Thank you! Muto.........Yuto-kun!

 Marion and Meira unfold from behind, left and right, while the Omine family's team, who were facing Nafas, stare at it in amazement.
 Even the heavyweight seats are with them. Sabanosuke and Hayoun stare at this situation as if time has stopped.
Then, Akane smiled with a girlish expression and lightly clasped her palms together.

''Yuto-kun is amazing I definitely have to take you into Shitenji.

 Left Umanosuke and others were so moved that their eyes watered and they muttered in a trembling whisper, "Groom-dono, groom-dono I thank you.
 Only at this moment, Zuiho is not able to see her surroundings. The only thing in her field of vision is Yuto who appeared at this moment. Mizuho's eyes were filled with only Yuto.


 Yuto prepared a posture to wait for O'Sullivan.
 O'Sullivan bent his knees to rush towards us.

(........Looks like he's coming this way. There was a possibility that he could have gone for the heavyweight seat like that, but he seems to be a very short-tempered guy.......eh?

 Yuto's hand loosened its grip on the posture to intercept O'Sullivan.
 Because I could see it.
 In less than a tenth of a second, something came flying in at super speed from behind O'Sullivan, knocking down trees.

'The little bastard! 

 The mysterious flying object crashed into O'Sullivan again, causing him to spit out blood and breath from his mouth. It was also a shock several times greater than that of Masato's earlier, which may be why O'Sullivan finally stopped in the center of the crater, rolling around without being able to passive.

''Kahaa! Wha... what... what?!

 O'Sullivan, who was on his hands with no strength in his legs, let out a pained breath and was astonished when he looked up. Because now, beside him again, one of his companions was lying on his back, moaning in pain and hatred.



Do-berk!

 O'Sullivan's voice came out in a breath that hadn't yet been adjusted.

'Ho-ho, what a sloppy mess. Is vigor the only thing that's good? That won't do my knee-pillar earsplitters any good. Ho-ho! Yeah? Huh? That's one more person.

"Come on, Pervert Mask! Get the hell off the property, already!

''Akihana-san, I knew you shouldn't trust this person.......''

 

(Grandpa! (What are you doing?!)

 Sword Saint Alfred Arkwright appeared in the bushes behind the floundering Yuto, laughing with Guanji.
