Chapter 78: Eight-Door Armor
Green mist filled the atmosphere, strong wind kept blowing and the scarlet moonlight was thick .
In the region of Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, dozens of trainee onmyojis, including Ono Sumika, hadn’t chosen to back down, but were facing the Hyakkiyakou on the streets .
The onmyojis who had spells inducing landslides, consumed their own mana to make the ground collapse like an earthquake of magnitude 9 on the Richter scale .
Many cumbersome demons which couldn’t fly or dodge fell off in the cracks on the ground .
Witnessing their companions disappearing, those demons were angered!
Demons with physical brute force violently rushed toward the onmyojis, while others with a good control of illusion spells unscrupulously launched an attack to manipulate their minds .
The onmyojis who had already discussed the tactics in advance confronted them and a tough battle began .
Hundreds of exorcism artifacts were sacrificed to block the illusion of the demons and a large number of Taoist spells were thrown out which exploded as the demons approached .
The blazing flame rose, thunder flashed in the sky, dense ice arrows were shot out, and dazzling holy light directly purified all ghosts and demons in a wide range......
Although the demons in the front had disappeared into the black smoke with a speed visible to the naked eye, those behind kept rushing forward like a tide that never ended, leaving the onmyojis no time to relax .
On the eight-door armor formation, which was quickly arranged on the ground with cinnabar painting, ‘Jing’ has been illuminated under the control of an onmyoji, providing a 10-meter-thick fire wall that firmly sheltered them from four sides .
Eight-doors were Open, Rest, Life, Injury, Du, Jing, Death and Shock respectively .
Jing was in the south and meant fire, which thrived in summer .
Now it was autumn, though Jing couldn’t play its own role on a superb level, it still fully demonstrated the essence of Jing!
The fire wall that surrounded them had a diameter of about one kilometer and was ten meters wide .
With the protection barrier formed by the burning flame, dozens of trainee onmyojis perfectly blocked the incoming enemies as the demons bumping into the fire started burning from the inside and ended up burnt into black smoke .
Even though the demons were prepared, they still kept a certain distance from the fire wall and besieged the fire wall with various spells to weaken the thickness of the wall as much as possible, but some shikigamis controlled by the onmyojis also flew out and guarded the barrier behind them, trying their best to fight against them .
Shikigamis were different from the ghosts and demons . Even if they died, they would slumber for a period of time, then revive through the contract signed with its onmyoji using his mana . Therefore, they fought particularly fiercely and bravely .
Inside the fire wall, a small number of onmyojis were responsible for repairing the damaged area of the eight-door armor ‘Jing’, while most people had begun to unite their mana and changed the formation .
Offense is the best defense!
In the eight-door armor, Open, Rest and Life were auspicious, while Death, Shock and Injury were evil .
Du and Jing were in the middle and the risk of control was relatively small, but the offensive wasn’t weak .
Now the trainee onmyojis were no longer satisfied with Jing, which obstructed the advancement of the Hyakkiyakou, they hoped to eliminate them as soon as possible, so the three evil doors naturally became their top choice .
In all parts of Japan, the sudden appearance of these onmyojis did make the Japanese people startled because no one had ever thought that those inconspicuous people in the past, such as their company colleagues, classmates, neighbors and others, one day would stand up to fight against the legendary monsters, not to mention that they controlled the legendary shikigamis, mastered magical spells and arranged formations!
If it was peacetime and the Japanese knew that there were onmyojis around them, they might be shocked, curious about what kinds of spells the onmyojis had, envious of them since they could possess great power and would probably fear their existence as they should be subjected to the jurisdiction of the national government, not to mention that all uses of spells required to be approved!
They would even be afraid that the onmyojis would cast spells to hurt them if they had conflicts with the onmyojis . They would make sure to stay away from the onmyojis at first moment!
But when it was chaotic all over Japan, no Japanese people would think so since the vast majority of people relied on them as they either cheered for them, or sent food and clear water to support them .
In the face of the mutual enemy – millions of ghosts, demons and tsukumogamis, the relationship between the onmyojis and the ordinary people became very close .
Several hours later, with the efforts of 100,000 trainee onmyojis in Japan, numerous Japanese people spontaneously rescued themselves and Hu Feng deliberately goofed around with them, the rageous Hyakkiyakou came under control .
Though the onmyojis hadn’t driven them out of Japan yet, they restored the order .
In fact, these trainee onmyojis established some safe spot with different scales in the major cities of Japan through constantly setting formations and fighting against the demons, which could accommodate a very small part of lucky citizen .
As for the countryside, it had long been given up since insufficient manpower forced them to give up and allowed the demons and Tsukumogamis to rage and absorb people’s spirits .
It was also strange to say .
Though the phenomena of absorbing spirits was just illusions, the imagination of Japanese people had played a great role!
– Almost all Japanese were spreading the ideas that you would become very weak and skinny if demons absorbed your spirits .
Due to self-hypnosis and imagination, many people who had been caught and had their spirits absorbed by the Tsukumogamis became thinner and weak after escaping, which made Hu Feng laugh .
Stopping the observation, Hu Feng looked satisfied .
“I believe that after Hyakkiyakou is over, all middle and lower classes in Japan will be convinced of the existence of onmyojis and Hyakkiyakou . ”
At the time, Hu Feng became resolute since it was about time to give the trainee onmyojis a greater pressure!
Known as the king of the hundred ghosts, the ultimate Boss of Hyakkiyakou – Shuten-doji!
