With Ryu Ishigori and the others successively defeated, only Nanmen maintained a Special Grade level of high-intensity combat on the fierce battlefield.
Tamamo-no-Mae, wielding the Special Grade cursed tool Koji, retreated while fighting, using her fox tails condensed from Cursed Energy.
She continuously sought an opportunity to defeat Mahoraga with a single blow.
In the previous battle, because others had spearheaded the attack, Tamamo-no-Mae, who joined the fight the latest, had not yet had her flame attacks adapted to by Mahoraga.
Therefore, Tamamo-no-Mae had a chance to defeat Mahoraga.
But Eichi clearly knew this as well.
Thus, Mahoraga was now relentlessly attacking Tamamo-no-Mae.
Tamamo-no-Mae couldn't even find a moment to gather power to unleash a strong flame attack.
However, she couldn't use normal intensity fox fire attacks either.
Because that would cause Mahoraga to adapt to Tamamo-no-Mae's fox fire, and then Tamamo-no-Mae would truly have no chance of winning.
"Damn it, this can't go on."
As Tamamo-no-Mae was pondering a way to break the deadlock, another powerful Cursed Energy aura targeted her.
Tamamo-no-Mae's hair immediately stood on end.
Several fox tails lashed out at Mahoraga.
Tamamo-no-Mae took advantage of Mahoraga batting away her fox tails to look back at the source of the Cursed Energy aura.
What met her eyes were eight cannon muzzles.
Looking at those eight muzzles, which clearly indicated immense power, Tamamo-no-Mae couldn't help but want to curse.
Where did this monster come from? And why does it look a bit familiar?
'Wait, this guy, perhaps he can be used.'
The experienced Tamamo-no-Mae immediately realized that the appearance of this enemy might not be a bad thing.
Ding.
Tamamo-no-Mae blocked Mahoraga's Sword of Exorcism with her spear.
The immense force sent Tamamo-no-Mae flying.
The eight Cursed Energy cannons that Yamata no Orochi was about to fire were forcibly held back.
Then Yamata no Orochi adjusted its muzzles to follow the direction Tamamo-no-Mae flew out.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Several clusters of fox fire appeared, transforming into multiple Tamamo-no-Maes and a fire fox.
Upon appearing, the illusionary Tamamo-no-Maes immediately surrounded the pursuing Mahoraga.
These illusions had already been tacitly adapted to and had no effect on Mahoraga.
But they did affect Yamata no Orochi.
Seeing one Tamamo-no-Mae suddenly become many Tamamo-no-Maes, Yamata no Orochi also adjusted its muzzles to cover all of them.
This included Mahoraga, whose figure was obscured by Tamamo-no-Mae.
Boom, boom, boom.
One Cursed Energy cannon after another was fired, their immense power directly covering a hundred-meter radius.
Swoosh.
Tamamo-no-Mae, riding the fire fox, finally managed to escape and began to summon and gather flame power.
Mahoraga dispersed smoke and glanced at Yamata no Orochi.
Mahoraga remembered this rare Yamata no Orochi that allowed it to fight satisfyingly.
Since the opponent had taken the initiative to attack, Mahoraga really wanted to go and fight.
However, according to Eichi's instructions, this guy was now an ally.
"Hmph."
Mahoraga exhaled a murky breath and continued to attack Tamamo-no-Mae.
At this moment, Tamamo-no-Mae was riding the fire fox, constantly flying in the sky, and the fireball in her hand grew larger and larger.
Suddenly, the Special Grade Cursed Spirit Taotie flew behind Tamamo-no-Mae.
Taotie's huge mouth opened, nearly biting the fireball Tamamo-no-Mae was charging.
On the ground, several bone spikes also shot towards Tamamo-no-Mae.
As Tamamo-no-Mae was about to dodge, Rainbow Dragon suddenly crashed into her from below.
The fireball in Tamamo-no-Mae's hand was shot and exploded.
The dispersed Cursed Energy was swallowed by Taotie's large mouth.
On the other side, on one of Yamata no Orochi's heads.
"You need to recognize your allies, otherwise…"
The squinting Geto showed a sinister smile towards Yamata no Orochi.
Yamata no Orochi's body trembled.
The next moment, Yamata no Orochi's snake heads became longer and thinner, and the wide-area bombardment turned into precise sniping.
Yamata no Orochi's automatic mode was withdrawn by Geto.
"Damn it, why does this guy have more Special Grade Cursed Spirits than I do?!"
Looking at the several Special Grade Cursed Spirits attacking her, Tamamo-no-Mae couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Is that really Yamata no Orochi?"
At this moment, Tamamo-no-Mae's gaze towards Geto changed.
Looking at the sinister smile Geto showed Yamata no Orochi.
Coupled with the fox-like expression, identical to Tamamo-no-Mae's.
Tamamo-no-Mae's first reaction was actually that she had found a kindred spirit.
Shouldn't such a person join her?
Why was he on the opposite side?
How could she recruit this guy as well?
This one was much stronger than Dhruv, Kuroi Bokusatsu, and those other guys.
Unfortunately, Rainbow Dragon and Taotie didn't want to give Tamamo-no-Mae time to think.
Under Geto's command, several Special Grade Cursed Spirits successfully lowered Tamamo-no-Mae's altitude.
Mahoraga's attack arrived.
"Damn it, this can't go on."
Tamamo-no-Mae cast her gaze towards Geto.
"To catch the bandit, first catch the king; he must be killed first."
Although she really wanted to recruit Geto, this kindred spirit who was also very fox-like.
But being in such a sorry state, she didn't have the capital to recruit him now.
Thinking this, fox fire blazed.
A large number of Tamamo-no-Mae illusions were released.
Tamamo-no-Mae's true body quietly flew towards Geto.
Then she realized her attempt had failed.
Because Mahoraga on the ground was closely following her.
Geto also judged which was the true body based on Mahoraga's position.
"Kuroi... is dead?"
Tamamo-no-Mae was about to call Kuroi Bokusatsu for support, but the next second she found that Kuroi Bokusatsu's aura had disappeared.
Then she sensed Ootengu's aura.
Clearly, Ootengu had died.
At this moment, Tamamo-no-Mae, as a female, felt a sense of helplessness rise in her heart.
However, she quickly adjusted her mindset.
Looking at Geto, who was already not far from her, Tamamo-no-Mae gritted her teeth, formed hand seals, and prepared to go all out.
"Domain Expansion: Calamity Flame Heian Palace!"
A Shinto shrine in the Heian style appeared in the very center of the Domain.
Outside the shrine was a desolate wilderness, and the outermost perimeter of the Domain was a series of vermilion torii gates clustered together.
The torii gates, like windows of a building, stacked one after another up to the very top of the Domain.
Beneath each torii gate was a fire fox.
"Burn to ashes for me!"
Instantly, Geto and all the Special Grade Cursed Spirits within the Domain burst into flames.
'No, the power is too dispersed.'
To prevent the Domain's shell from being shattered by these Special Grade Cursed Spirits before she could defeat Geto and Mahoraga, she could only pull all Cursed Spirits into the Domain.
Tamamo-no-Mae's gaze fell upon Geto.
'This guy's Technique should be related to controlling Cursed Spirits. What will happen to the Cursed Spirits he controls after he's killed?'
'Never mind, I'll just burn this guy to death first.'
The next second, the flames on all the Special Grade Cursed Spirits, except Yamata no Orochi and Mahoraga, vanished.
Countless fire foxes squatting under the torii gates leaped down and began to entangle these Special Grade Cursed Spirits.
Geto began to twist his body in pain, and then... in a black mist, he transformed into a Special Grade Demon Cursed Spirit.
"Eh?"
"Looking for me again?"
Geto, holding Playful Cloud, leaped out of Taotie's mouth, still carrying some of Tamamo-no-Mae's Cursed Energy.
That was the residual Cursed Energy from the previously scattered fireball.
Geto had no thought of showing mercy.
Playful Cloud bypassed Tamamo-no-Mae's fox tails and struck her body fiercely.
