Chapter 333
Teikyōko was puzzled, but he did not hesitate. One after another, talismans flew out and stuck to the wall, like guiding lights, illuminating all directions.
"Destroy it!"
Upon receiving the order, the giant Shikigami formed from the talismans rushed off, its feet stomping on the ground with a thunderous sound.
However, the giant Shikigami charged forward, only to hit nothing.
Apart from creating a cloud of smoke and sending some rubble flying, the massive Demonic Well remained completely undamaged.
"The attack passed right through? Physical immunity?"
Although Teikyōko was surprised, she did not panic.
Most evil spirits possess this ability.
So in the next instant, she unleashed her most proficient spell—
"The Indra Diamond Spell."
The girl's eyes sharpened, and she held a talisman to the left front of her gaze. As spiritual power flowed in, a bolt of lightning was unleashed, accompanied by a loud boom.
Lightning instantly erupted at the spot where the Demonic Well had originally been.
However, in that instant, the Demonic Well vanished like smoke, dodging the attack.
Where!?
Her expression hardened.
The Demonic Well reappeared, appearing above her head. The Demonic Energy within swirled like a vortex, forming a powerful suction force that tried to draw her in.
"Not good."
Not only did Teikyōko feel that she was losing her footing, but her life force was also rapidly draining away, and she finally showed a nervous expression.
The talisman reappeared, and a bolt of lightning coiled around her body, greatly enhancing her physical abilities, especially her speed. She managed to escape the suction force and retreat along the path she had come from.
She already understood that this was a demon that was difficult to defeat, and that she could only suppress it to some extent by relying on the many Demon-Quelling Talisman she had set up before.
Unexpectedly, a flame suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead, illuminating a strangely dressed figure.
"Who are you! It's dangerous here, get out of here right now!"
"You don't need to know. Just think of me as an exorcist who happened to be passing by."
Faced with her shout, Takanashi Rikka remained calm and composed, quickly completing a hand seal as they passed each other.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
The raging fire formed a surging wave of flames that instantly filled the tunnel ahead, burning away the numerous animal carcasses that had accumulated on the ground.
"They actually wield such powerful flames."
Teikyōko stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked on in slight surprise.
"But that thing isn't so easy to destroy. Come with me, we'll fight together."
She wanted to seek cooperation.
"It's too late. The way back has been blocked. We're trapped in the 'domain' it has created."
Takanashi Rikka shook her head.
"What?"
Teikyōko looked up and saw that a layer of dark light had firmly sealed the exit, and heavy Demonic Energy shrouded all directions.
"We won't get out of here today if we don't defeat it."
"You knew all along?"
"Yes."
"So you're still coming down?"
Is there a problem?
"No."
She adjusted her glasses, silently thinking to herself—
Wack.
Did that last blow hurt it?
Takanashi Rikka stares straight ahead, in a state of heightened awareness, her Three-Tomoe Sharingan, constantly monitoring her opponent's movements.
"Under your feet."
She spotted the traces of gathering Demonic Energy, and after determining it, she used her Body Flicker Technique to dodge to the side.
The Demonic Well slowly emerged from where she had been standing.
Takanashi Rikka used Fire Release again, unleashing a giant fireball.
Teikyōko reacted quickly, seizing the opportunity, and the talisman unleashed a bolt of Lightning Strike.
The Demonic Well's illusionary abilities were a beat too slow, and it was struck simultaneously by both lightning and fire attacks, causing the light and shadow formed by the Demonic Energy to tremble slightly.
It worked.
But that's not enough.
The two exchanged a glance, tacitly agreeing to intensify their attack.
"Wow, those two are amazing... It's incredible that they can do so many incredible things while they're human."
Outside, Kasumigaoka Utaha was watching the anime live, was full of admiration as she observed the ongoing battle, and her heart was also filled with excitement.
"Junior, it seems like the content of my new book could be revised again."
What do you want to change it to?
Hasegawa Izumi raised an eyebrow.
"Although it's still primarily about romance, to enrich the content, let's have the 'chuunibyou ' (The Daily Life of Supernatural Battle>."
"Write if you want, the real show is about to begin."
He chuckled softly and turned to look.
"Hey, isn't it supposed to be over?"
"Senior, remember this: monsters have two phases; that's common knowledge."
"Oh..."
Volume 4: 26 Sealing Technique
Demonic Well repeatedly tried to launch a sneak attack by teleporting, but Takanashi Rikka caught her movements each time and, together with Teikyōko, launched a powerful attack.
At a certain moment, the light and shadow of the Demonic Well suddenly shattered, as if broken by an external force.
But the two girls' expressions did not lighten; instead, they became even more serious.
The atmosphere in the basement became increasingly oppressive, creating an invisible sense of unease.
"Show your true form!"
Suddenly, Takanashi Rikka turned her head and looked. Not far from the passage, an incredibly dense Demonic Energy gradually gathered into humanoid figures, each one a deep purple-black, emanating an aura even more evil than ordinary evil spirits.
"Well..."
Under the watchful eyes of countless demons, Teikyōko, whose mental strength was somewhat tainted, couldn't help but feel a surge of fear. She instinctively clutched her head with both hands, her eyes wide open, and let out a wail.
"Not good."
Takanashi Rikka widened, and she turned her head as if to help.
Because of the advantages brought by the Sharingan, her mental strength far surpasses that of ordinary Ability User, so she is able to get rid of the influence very quickly.
She used her Sharingan Hypnosis Technique him, using her mental power to help him resist.
Teikyōko's eyes lit up again. She quickly realized what was happening, placed a talisman on her forehead, and used Heart-Cleansing Incantation to suppress the strange sensation. She then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Exorcist."
"It's alright, the problem is... things are getting a bit complicated now."
Takanashi Rikka turned around and immediately unleashed another Fire Release technique.
However, the scorching flames were either completely unable to touch the higher concentration of Demonic Energy, or they were either swallowed up.
It was at this moment that the figures conjured by the Demonic Well reacted and all rushed towards them.
"Don't get bitten by these things!"
Takanashi Rikka had this feeling in the depths of her being, and at the same time, she released the Great Dragon Fire Technique.
A gigantic fire dragon charged forward, biting down on the demon spirit and instantly cleaving it in two. At the same time, its claws seized both demon spirits, unleashing a fiery explosion that destroyed them.
However, in the blink of an eye, with the surging and gathering of Demonic Energy, the vanished demonic spirit returned to its original state.
"Not working?"
She looked surprised, realizing the key point.
As long as the Demonic Energy persists, these guys are practically immortal.
However, her fire-based techniques were completely ineffective in extinguishing such a large amount of Demonic Energy.
"I know, leave the rest to me."
Teikyōko nodded, then with a thought, he activated the Demon-Quelling Seal that were originally engraved around him.
The backup plan they had prepared came in handy.
Within the domain, it is usually isolated from the outside world. However, the small courtyard was actually still within the domain's boundaries, so the Demon-Quelling Talisman was successfully activated without hindrance. Streams of spiritual energy quickly formed lines, drawing a huge array that covered the small courtyard. The demon-subduing power was fully activated and crashed down.
In the courtyard, the two of them continued to watch everything as if nothing had happened.
"It's like Magic Circle in an animation."
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked up, her eyes also filled with amazement.
"Times are changing so fast."
Hasegawa Izumi discerned the traces within the talisman and realized that it was simply a chemical reaction between her abilities and her existing knowledge. Perhaps it was already capable of being passed down, although the requirements for aptitude were not low, it was still a viable path.
Indeed, life always finds a way out.
Inside the Demonic Well.
The massive amount of talismans unleashed an inexhaustible power to subdue demons. The demon spirit, which was already within arm's reach, suddenly seemed to sink into a quagmire, its movements as slow as a snail.
Takanashi Rikka glanced around and discovered the reason.
Under the influence of this demon-slaying power, the flow of Demonic Energy slowed down considerably.
Even so, it doesn't mean they can completely eliminate so much Demonic Energy.
"There's too much Demonic Energy... The power to subdue demons can't suppress it for long. We must find a way to resolve this within the time limit."
Teikyōko felt the speed at which the spiritual energy within the talisman was dissipating, and he said with a look of embarrassment.
"Hmm... this is the only way."
Takanashi Rikka.
Do you have any ideas?
"If we can't destroy it, then let's seal it away."
"You also know 'Sealing Technique'?"
"Yes."
She nodded, and slowly formed hand seals that she didn't usually use.
Teikyōko was quite surprised, thinking that her ability was simply a matter of fire.
It now seems to be some kind of complex ability, similar to my own...
However, I haven't even learned how to use Sealing Technique yet.
