Volume 7 - Mount Ooe: Chapter 71 – Crimson Wrath

“What?” Ibaraki Doji was about to barge into the temple and apprehend Lily, but was startled by this event.

“What the heck is with this intense aura? Where did it come from? Could it be that someone powerful suddenly came to rescue Lily? No, impossible. Honganji Temple has been utterly surrounded. Hmph, I’m afraid this is most likely another one of those illusions she created. Just like that Racoon Deity! Kagami Lily, you can’t even make illusions properly. This time around, the aura of this illusion is much weaker than that Raccoon!” Ibaraki Doji spoke in his heart.

Suddenly, crimson sword energy rushed towards Ibaraki Doji from within the temple at incredible speeds.

“Hmph, meaningless struggle!” Ibaraki Doji was convinced that Lily was using another skill similar to summoning the Raccoon Deity to bluff, she was just trying to escape!

He wasn’t worried about Lily at all. With a voice transmission orb in one hand and his purple long sword in the other, he blocked casually. He wasn’t even bothered to use his ghost hand.

However, the moment the crimson stored energy came in contact with Ibaraki’s sword—

“What?”

An incredibly powerful impact force and a wave of spiritual energy that could stir heaven itself pummeled Ibaraki’s robust body and turned his organs. As a powerful late-stage Throned Monarch demon, his arm muscles, which were tougher than grade-8 tamahagane, were easily torn apart!

Splurt—! Ibaraki vomited blood. His final still-functional arm also squirted out blood everywhere.

The aftermath of that horrifying storm of spiritual energy tore hundreds of demons around him into pieces. The voice transmission orb was also rendered into dust by that horrifying impact force!

Ibaraki was sent flying in an instant by the attack. He crashed into the mountain cliffs on the opposite side, even causing a bunch of cliffs to collapse.

“What????” Kamaki, who was about to join the fight, was also terrified. Lily’s previous kick hurt him plenty, but his physique allowed him to recover quickly. He really wanted to help Ibaraki apprehend Lily and also take his revenge.

However, at this moment, this terrifying blade energy that came from nowhere was so powerful that Kamaki became petrified from shock.

In front of the Honganji Temple’s shrine, none of the demons were left alive. The aftermath instantly tore them into shreds and killed them on the spot

“Who? Who’s that strong person?” Although that crimson sword energy was similar to Lily’s sword attacks, Kamaki refused to believe that this attack came from Lily. Because it was impossible for her to have a substantial increase in attack power within the span of a few minutes.

Kamaki would never believe it!

The ruined Honganji Temple was covered in smoke. Yet, a young girl in puerile white clothing came out unscathed. As if even the smoke and fire itself were afraid of her.

The Cursed Blade in her hands emanated Sword Sprites that incited deep terror within Kamaki.

“This… How could such a powerful aura come from you? Impossible. Impossible! Kagami Lily, this is impossible!” Kamaki’s massive body actually started to tremble.

“Die.” Lily didn’t say much, though.

“Huff!” Lily instantly became a flash of white light and dashed towards Kamaki.

“What?” At such speeds, Kamaki could only feel white light piercing his chest. He couldn’t react at all.

Swish—!

A crimson sword energy pierced Kamaki’s chest, which was as tough as a mountain, as if she had carved an unusually smooth tunnel through it.

Lily, with her flowing white clothes, was now behind Kamaki.

Kamaki’s golden eyes were wide open as his massive body stood still. His heart was now missing and was replaced with an empty hole.

“Lord Kamaki?”

“Lord Kamaki?!”

The demons looked at this ominous scene and couldn’t help but call out to their leader.

However, Kamaki didn’t answer. His glowing eyes slowly became dim. A gush of red Archdemon Anima that radiated terrifying power left his body and flew inside Lily’s Cursed Blade. Kamaki’s body then lost balance and tumbled onto the ground.

“Uhm… Ah…” Lily trembled in excitement since this was her first time tasting the Anima of a late-stage Throned Sovereign

¹.

“What?????” The demons were all shocked!

This was Kamaki!

He was also one of the strongest among the Ten Demon Enforcers and a horrifying existence among all demons. As a late-stage Throned Sovereign with the Demon God Physique, he was nearly invulnerable!

But he died just like that?

Lily raised her head as her eyes glowed in the red. Crimson spiritual energy surrounded her body as her jet-black hair floated in the air!

That powerful wind of spiritual energy swept the demons off their feet. Her crimson red eyes made the demons feel unprecedented terror within their souls!

“Agh!!!”

Before they knew it, a demon started to scream in terror and the rest of them followed. They then started to escape!

Within a moment, thousands of demons in front of her hysterically ran down the mountain slopes surrounding Honganji Temple. Meanwhile, the demons below didn’t know what happened so they continued going forward. A massive stampede happened as they crashed into each other. It was chaotic!

Yet Lily had no intention of appreciating this chaotic event. Her eyes became grim as Yasutsuna and a crescent lunar energy appeared in her hands at the same time. She became a flash of light and danced into the army of demons. Not using her Domain or any large-radius spells, she simply used her weapons to hack these demons into pieces!

Both weapons in their hands turned into a tornado of death. Crimson sword energy spun at incredible speeds! That was too cruel! It was impossible to measure Lily’s attack speed. Still, every single slash would end up with one or more demons being decapitated, dismembered, or eviscerated!

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Lily didn’t even release any long-ranged spiritual attacks. She simply used both weapons and slashed again and again! Yet, she was just too fast. A fog of blood started rising among the demons.

The demons howled in desperation. Some of them couldn’t even make a noise. Some demons lost all morale and started to cower and beg for mercy. Yet, Lily showed none.

There was only slaughter!

Slaughter had granted her immense joy. Her thirst was unquenchable!

Lily’s white bathrobes were now completely stained in crimson red. Like an Asura dancing in a pool of blood, it seemed like her immense rage could only be relieved by hacking everyone into pieces!

“Kagami Lily!” Ibaraki Doji jumped up from the ruins, and his massive ghost hand flew towards her.

However, Lily was currently slaughtering the demons in a trance!

When that massive ghost hand was about to strike her, only then did she turn around suddenly and exert force with both hands.

Bang! Two intersecting crimson sword energy slashed the ghost hand and sent it flying. The incredibly tough, robust, and strong ghost hand that was comparable to a grade-nine katana now had two deep intersecting scars. Its immensely tough bone was instantly broken. Even two of its claws were broken!

“What?????”

Ibaraki Doji was stunned. This… attack that was launched in a hurry completely destroyed his strongest ghost hand?

Meanwhile, Lily was decisive. After repelling the ghost hand, she performed a sword dance with Yasutsuna. A gust of lunar power that was blindingly radiant flew towards him!

“Oh no!” This purple lunar power was much more terrifying than the previous crimson sword energy! The ancient archdemon, Ibaraki Doji, instinctively felt that his life was in danger!

“Run!” Ibaraki Doji turned back and ran without hesitation. That purple sword energy pierced through the surrounding demons and they were instantly vaporized by its horrifying might. Not even their corpses were left behind!

Yet, that sword energy didn’t slow down in the slightest and continued to fly towards Ibaraki.

Ibaraki wanted to dodge but realized that this energy seemed to have a mind of its own, it could change directions and track him. He could only try his best to run into places where a lot of powerful demons were gathered!

Countless demons became cannon fodder as they blocked this attack for Ibaraki. However, that sword energy was still just as powerful.

Finally, that energy still caught up to Ibaraki!

“B?a?s?t?a?r?d?!!!” Despite being reluctant, Ibaraki still took out an item that could save his life!

It was a broken and bloodstained ancient fan. It was a pinnacle low-ranked Spiritual Treasure!

Bang!!!

The purple lunar sword energy slammed into the ancient fan. Perhaps the latter used to be incredibly powerful and far stronger than it was now, but still, it was already ruined and tattered. Hence, this attack became the final attack that it would ever block!

The ancient fan was destroyed!

The remaining power of that purple lunar sword energy slammed into Ibaraki’s body.

At the final moment, Ibaraki revealed his true appearance. The fully formed Rashōmon!

The dark-green Rashōmon demon was much more resilient than any Throned Monarch human, but his skin and flesh was still ruined by this attack. More than a dozen bones were shattered in his body and his organs were damaged. Even the Throne Palace within his Spirit Sea became slightly cracked.

Splurt!!! Fresh blood came out of the Rashōmon demon’s eyes, nose, mouth, and the rest of his body!

He no longer dared to remain on the battlefield. Clutching his chest, he quickly jumped onto the ghost hand that was still dripping blood and had its claws broken. Using groups of demons and the mountainous terrain as cover, he escaped in desperation!

By now, he was already some distance away from Lily. Since he also flew down the mountain cliff, Lily’s attack wouldn’t reach him even if she tried.

Moreover, Lily’s Purple Lunar Force was nearly depleted since she had exhausted most of it beforehand.

However, after slaughtering so many demons, her spiritual energy only increased!

Although Ibaraki could escape, the rest of the demons couldn’t!

Lily looked on as the demons scattered everywhere. At this moment, the demon army was completely disorganized. Many of them started to escape into the mountain forests and they were now mostly separated.

Lily sheathed both blades and opened Sakura Parasol, tossing it into the air.

“Sakura Blizzard

².”

More than a dozen miles away from Honganji Temple, on the Empire’s warship.

Minamoto no Hirohikari, Minamoto no Tsukawa, and the rest glanced at the immolated Honganji Temple from afar.

“Kagami Lily has most likely exhausted all her strength and got captured by now.” Minamoto no Tsukawa said pridefully.

“Hah, she deserves it! This woman always acted arrogant just because she is talented. Not just the Minamoto Clan, she even disrespected the Empire! This is what she gets! Ahahahahaha—” Minamoto no Hirohikari, who was dressed like a court official, covered his mouth with a fan and chuckled.

Huh? What’s going on?” Minamoto no Tsukawa was stunned. “Why is the demon army routing?”

“Routing? That should be impossible. Maybe they have captured Lily and are retreating? These demons kept their word, didn’t they?”

At this moment, a massive surge of sakura petals that was as large as a cloud completely enveloped the sky around the Honganji Temple.

“No, they’re not retreating… They’re… Defeated!” Minamoto no Tsukawa’s eyes became wide open as cold sweat started flowing from his forehead. “That’s Kagami Lily’s Domain, Sakura Blizzard! The Eldritch Energy within the Army… is… disappearing bit by bit

³!”
