Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1477

Therefore, by searching along the Sanzu River, one has a better chance of meeting Enma and, incidentally, being able to support the rescue efforts of the other demons.

"This is the only way," Kousaka Kyosuke said, knowing from the lack of objections that things were about to get busy.

I don't know how long I'll be busy.

Suddenly, sensing something, Kyosuke Kousaka slammed his palm down towards a certain spot in the sky.

The surging, wave-like airflow soared like a dragon, and in an instant, a crack in the sky that had just appeared, resembling an eye, was blasted apart.

"I've only just experienced this kind of welcome before, it's truly a wonderful gift..."

An immense pressure came from all directions.

Kousaka Kyosuke casually conjured a blood sword, and an aura of extreme sharpness rose rapidly from his body in a short moment, as if it were about to soar into the sky.

Like a flickering flame, the endless, surging red sword light instantly pierced the sky!

Some of the smug voices seemed to abruptly cease.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who had sheathed his blood sword, appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was gasping for breath. "If this life essence continues to be consumed like this, how long will it take me to recover... Sigh, I don't even have a suitable sword."

435. The Prophecy of the Wilderness / A Weapon Delivered to Your Door? / A Trade

The blood sword disappeared, and the almost imperceptible stench of blood in the air made Kagura and Kinnara feel extremely uncomfortable.

The dramatic changes that had attracted so much attention in the air gradually subsided.

"The time for the evil gods to fully descend has not yet come, so there is no need to be too... forceful with them. I can handle them."

Ara immediately recognized that Kousaka Kyosuke was using the same method as before, sacrificing himself as the culprit.

Kyosuke Kosaka coughed lightly: "I was too nervous. I'll be more careful next time."

The evil god has indeed not yet been able to fully descend.

The problem is that even the arrival of a portion of one's will can make things extremely complicated.

It would be better to expend some of your lifespan to temporarily resolve this evil god and then immediately deal with the problem.

"...Kyosuke, give me a chance to show my skills."

Seimei lightly tapped his folding fan, making a joke in this eerie underworld.

Kousaka Kyosuke looked at Seimei and met his eyes, which were filled with helplessness and heartache.

Unconsciously, I felt a greater liking for the protagonist of "Onmyoji", but for some reason, a faint chill rose from behind me.

"Mr. Kyosuke... is it that you're lacking a suitable weapon?"

Yaobikuni, however, changed the subject.

Kyosuke Kosaka looked surprised: "That's right. I did think about forging one myself, but then I gave up."

There were no forging materials in Japan that satisfied him, so he was considering going to the Central Plains to find materials and then forging his own materials.

"Weapons?" Ara frowned as he looked at Kousaka Kyosuke, suddenly realizing a problem.

That is, the Kusanagi sword that Kousaka Kyosuke used before had been destroyed by Orochi, and Ame no Habakiri... Ara knew very well that this was not a suitable weapon for Kousaka Kyosuke.

Why is Huang so certain? It is because the special materials used in the sword determine the character of the swordsman.

Ame no Habakiri was forged by the God-King Amaterasu, who deliberately chose the most contradictory elements in the world as materials for the creation of this divine weapon—including the bones of Susanoo, the god of execution, and the blood of the evil god Yamata no Orochi.

Its blade is as white as a mirror, reflecting the sun and moon, and its core is as strong as steel, symbolizing that the person wielding the sword has an unshakable sense of justice, and is praised and admired by the world.

However, his sword left countless corpses on the ground, and his sins, like the venomous blood of a snake, were despised by the world.

Therefore, the swordsman must possess both of these contradictory awarenesses simultaneously; otherwise, he will suffer a powerful backlash once he takes up the sword.

The swordsman who, despite a life of being both praised and condemned by thousands, still held an unwavering heart...

Ara knew very well that this was definitely not Kousaka Kyosuke.

The Kousaka Kyosuke he knew had the heart of a guardian, but he absolutely did not meet the absolute requirements of the wielder of Ame no Habakiri.

Previously, Ara had considered entrusting Ame no Habakiri to Kousaka Kyosuke, but considering that Kousaka Kyosuke's condition was obviously not good at the moment, he did not want him to take the risk.

Now that he knows that Kyosuke Kousaka has once again created weapons at the cost of sacrifice to fight the evil god, Ara feels that he must do something.

Streams of starlight power silently flowed within Huang's body...

"What? Could it be that Lord Ara can think of a good weapon for me?" Kousaka Kyosuke's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "No need for that. Just divine the weapon materials for me! I know how to forge weapons!"

Kinnara quickly chimed in, "Kyosuke is very skilled at making weapons. He made all of everyone's weapons, as well as musical instruments, sculptures, furniture..."

Kousaka Kyosuke immediately pressed Kinnara's head down speechlessly.

"Are you introducing a potential partner to Lord Ara?"

"Hmm, what do you mean?"

Kinnara's beautiful face, which possessed both purity and a dignified air, showed a look of bewilderment, and her bright and deep eyes blinked with an innocent light.

Kousaka Kyosuke withdrew his hand, almost instinctively becoming wary, after all, he had always been quite embarrassed by this girl who lacked common sense.

"Hehe." Yaobikuni covered her mouth and chuckled, then looked at Kousaka Kyosuke with feigned displeasure. "Mr. Kyosuke, do you not believe in my divination skills? If it's about materials for forging weapons, I can also divine for you."

Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head: "I don't want to trouble you."

Yaobikuni was immediately at a loss for words, "This clearly shows they don't trust my divination skills."

However, she also understood to some extent.

Ultimately, Kyosuke Kousaka does know how to tell fortunes, and he seems to be quite good at it, but he just hasn't shown it much.

"You already had weapons."

Ara, who had already performed the divination for Kousaka Kyosuke, suddenly looked at Kousaka Kyosuke.

Upon hearing this answer, Kyosuke Kosaka instinctively looked at his own hands.

"Lord Ara is quite humorous. My martial arts skills are in no way inferior to those of weapons."

"Kyosuke, Lord Ara is talking to you about serious business." Kagura tugged at Kousaka Kyosuke's sleeve.

Kagura was very nervous at this moment.

In fact, she was always aware that Kyosuke Kousaka was using forbidden techniques that were harmful to the body when fighting against Yamata no Orochi and the evil gods, but since she couldn't avoid it, she could only pretend not to know.

If Ara could divine suitable weapon materials for Kousaka Kyosuke now, she would feel somewhat at ease.

“I can’t give you specifics,” Huang said with a subtle expression. “I can only tell you that the weapon is already with you and should arrive in your hands soon.”

Kyosuke Kosaka was stunned: "You don't even need materials, you have it in stock right now."

"..."

Huang remained silent and did not continue speaking.

In reality, Ara could never see much of Kousaka Kyosuke's future. What he could be sure of was that Kousaka Kyosuke was a Guardian, but anything more... was completely unpredictable.

Just now, it was only because Kousaka Kyosuke asked him for help that he was able to barely catch a glimpse of the future.

“Anyway, this is a good thing,” Kousaka Kyosuke quickly recovered and looked at the others. “Right now, our priority is to find Lord Enma, and while we’re at it, observe our surroundings, explore the ‘Void,’ and collect ‘Void.’”

Kyosuke Kosaka had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.

One should not be too attached to prophecies and divination, otherwise it is not a good thing.

Knowing that there will be a suitable weapon for me in the future, I can simply smile to express my happiness.

Honestly, if he's happy, Kyosuke Kousaka is definitely very, very happy.

It just feels a little sudden. If the weapon that he's likely to get is given to him by the old man, Kousaka Kyosuke might start to wonder if he's some kind of protagonist.

"Ah, is that all?" Kinnara said with some regret.

Their curiosity was not satisfied.

She always felt an emptiness in her heart.

At this point, Kinara began to understand Chitanda somewhat, because that intense desire to know was indeed a little unsettling.

"That will be the most suitable weapon for you, Kyosuke."

Huang seemed to regret hearing about Kinnara, so after a moment of contemplation, he said something else.

A thought flickered in Kousaka Kyosuke's mind: "The weapon that's most suitable for me..."

The most suitable weapon for him is not the so-called "divine weapon" from Japan, but a corresponding divine weapon that is very suitable for him to perform various sword techniques and spells!

The thought of this made Kyosuke Kousaka incredibly excited.

Just when I was feeling sleepy, a pillow appeared!

Could it be that our luck has finally turned around?

Putting aside the fact that Kousaka Kyosuke sacrificed a lot of his lifespan and essence, he can at least be considered to have basically become an immortal now. And then we need to equip him with a celestial weapon that is very suitable for battle.

Kyosuke Kousaka even suspected he was playing a game with cheat codes.

"Over there, I saw Ghost Messenger White!"

Kagura, who had been silently protecting the safety of those around her and observing the surroundings, suddenly spoke up.

Everyone's attention immediately turned to the direction Kagura indicated.
