"Are you looking for me?"
A gentle voice, tinged with a slight allure, came from behind Tamamo-no-Mae.
This kind of voice held great attraction for the opposite sex.
Tamamo-no-Mae was no exception.
If it had been before, Tamamo-no-Mae would surely have brought Suguru Geto back to her palace to thoroughly discuss life.
But at this moment, Tamamo-no-Mae only felt a biting chill.
Tamamo-no-Mae's body, honed by countless life-or-death situations, acted first with its battle instincts.
Her fox tails immediately lashed out towards Suguru Geto.
Suguru Geto didn't hesitate, continuing to swing Playful Cloud towards Tamamo-no-Mae.
Several squid Cursed Spirits were summoned from in front of Suguru Geto.
These small Cursed Spirits, with their slippery skin and decent resistance to attacks, were often used by Suguru Geto as shields to block blows.
The fox tails scattered the Cursed Spirits.
Playful Cloud also landed on Tamamo-no-Mae.
Tamamo-no-Mae was sent flying by Suguru Geto's strike.
However, Suguru Geto wasn't having an easy time either.
The fox tails left a whip-like wound on his shoulder.
Flames also clung to the wound, constantly burning Suguru Geto's body.
Splat.
A Cursed Spirit spewed out a stream of Cursed Energy-infused water, extinguishing the flames on Suguru Geto.
Tamamo-no-Mae on the other side was in an even worse state.
Several of her bones were broken by that blow.
Most importantly, she had fallen to the ground.
The attack of the Special Grade Cursed Spirit, Bone Woman, arrived first.
Covered in white bone armor with extremely high defense, it ignored the fire foxes biting it, trying to burn it to ashes.
It summoned a white bone spear in its right hand and thrust it towards Tamamo-no-Mae's heart.
Tamamo-no-Mae was greatly alarmed.
Unable to move her body temporarily, she manipulated her Cursed Energy-formed fox tails to slap away the white bone spear.
The first attack was neutralized, but more attacks were already falling towards Tamamo-no-Mae.
"Ahhh! All of you, scram!"
Terrifying flames erupted from Tamamo-no-Mae's center.
Bone Woman and the demon, Special Grade Cursed Spirits close to Tamamo-no-Mae, were instantly severely wounded.
"Whoosh, this is bad!"
A terrifying figure with a broken body appeared behind Tamamo-no-Mae.
Mahoraga.
Just now, to break free, Tamamo-no-Mae had mobilized her power to severely wound Bone Woman and the demon, two Special Grade Cursed Spirits.
This also caused the Domain's attacks on Mahoraga and Yamata no Orochi to weaken.
Mahoraga, which was almost consumed by the flames, completed an adaptation.
Its nearly burnt-out body began to recover.
Tamamo-no-Mae quickly dodged Mahoraga's Sword of Exorcism, and intense flames once again ignited on Mahoraga's body.
The sure-hit effect of the Domain forced Mahoraga to endure Tamamo-no-Mae's attacks.
Rumble.
The sound of a giant object moving rang out.
This time, it was Yamata no Orochi that attacked Tamamo-no-Mae.
At the same time, Suguru Geto, who had been temporarily abandoned due to being overwhelmed, also reactivated his Simple Domain, summoning several Grade 1 Cursed Spirits to attack Tamamo-no-Mae.
"Damn it!"
If Mahoraga were also one of Suguru Geto's summons.
Then Tamamo-no-Mae would absolutely eliminate Suguru Geto at all costs right now.
But Mahoraga belonged to Eichi, and Yamata no Orochi belonged to Suguru Geto.
She couldn't kill all three targets simultaneously.
If she only aimed at one target, there were still more than one Special Grade combatants here, and she couldn't guarantee victory while being ganged up on.
This caused Tamamo-no-Mae to hesitate.
Hesitation leads to defeat.
Tamamo-no-Mae also realized this.
She knew that if this continued, she would be the only one to lose.
Tamamo-no-Mae went all out.
Reaching into her fox tails, Tamamo-no-Mae pulled out the Special Grade cursed tool, Koji.
The Four-Tailed Spear.
After fully activating Koji, Tamamo-no-Mae threw Koji towards Suguru Geto.
Under the propulsion of Cursed Energy, Koji, like a true fierce tiger, bit onto Playful Cloud, which Suguru Geto used to block.
It pushed Suguru Geto flying into the distance.
Then, Tamamo-no-Mae pulled out the Three-Tailed katana.
It was also a full-power attack infused with Cursed Energy.
Several of Yamata no Orochi's heads were cut off by Tamamo-no-Mae.
Flames began to burn inside Yamata no Orochi along the wounds.
It wasn't over yet.
Tamamo-no-Mae once again took out another Special Grade cursed tool.
The Nine-Tailed Orb.
At this moment, Tamamo-no-Mae was immensely grateful to the person who collected sesshoseki.
Not only did he provide her with an army of Cursed Spirits.
He also provided her with so many weapons and equipment.
The orb was thrown by Tamamo-no-Mae, flying into the distance.
Tamamo-no-Mae used her fox tails to prop herself up, wanting to escape the encirclement of numerous enemies.
Mahoraga followed closely behind.
At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Orb, which had flown far away, also flew back towards Tamamo-no-Mae.
Thwack.
The Nine-Tailed Orb left a large hole in Mahoraga's body.
This was the effect of this Special Grade cursed tool.
After flying a certain distance to charge up, it would unleash an attack that ignores defense.
Mahoraga, which had originally leaped into the air, was knocked to the ground by the orb's power.
Seeing this, Tamamo-no-Mae smiled with satisfaction, and then... turned and fled.
Several of Yamata no Orochi's heads were already charging up, preparing to bombard her.
The gluttonous mouth in the sky, large enough to swallow ten of her, was practically drooling on her face.
That Rainbow Dragon, already seven-tenths cooked, was about to hit her tail with its iron head.
And she shouldn't run from this?
Where there's life, there's hope.
I'll gather my elites and come back to reclaim my territory later.
The Two-Tailed Iron Fan.
Tamamo-no-Mae once again pulled a cursed tool from her tail, then inserted the cursed tool into the ground.
Rumble.
After the iron fan was inserted into the ground, it suddenly grew larger.
Iron walls broke out of the earth, blocking Suguru Geto's Cursed Spirits.
Tamamo-no-Mae reached the edge of the Domain, and a new batch of fire foxes emerged from the torii, actively helping Tamamo-no-Mae cover her retreat.
Tamamo-no-Mae successfully escaped the battlefield.
After Tamamo-no-Mae left, the Domain began to dissipate.
After knocking Koji down, Suguru Geto picked up Playful Cloud, intending to pursue, but found that Tamamo-no-Mae's figure had already disappeared among the large number of Cursed Spirits.
Helpless, Suguru Geto could only continue to capture the Cursed Spirits he deemed worthy.
Previously, he would eat whatever Cursed Spirits were available.
Now, it was good; there were all sorts of Cursed Spirits on the battlefield.
Suguru Geto was rarely able to actively choose the Cursed Spirits he liked.
Coupled with Medea's potion that temporarily altered his taste, an unprecedented sense of happiness rose from the bottom of Suguru Geto's heart.
At this moment, Suguru Geto's Cursed Spirits had suffered heavy losses; out of over ten thousand Cursed Spirits, less than five thousand remained after the fierce battle.
But those that remained were elites, and as for cannon fodder, there was plenty here, ready to be replenished at any time.
Moreover, even if not replenished here, low-level Cursed Spirits were abundant outside.
Therefore, Suguru Geto was not sad about the loss of Cursed Spirits.
Instead, he was full of drive because he had gained two more Special Grade Cursed Spirits, one of which could even use Domain Expansion.
Suguru Geto ascended the Rainbow Dragon and flew into the sky, overlooking the entire battlefield.
The Cursed Spirits, originally mixed in a melee, began to converge.
They started to advance in small teams.
Although there was no intricate coordination among the Cursed Spirits.
It also reduced the occurrence of being attacked from front and back.
After arranging his Cursed Spirits, Suguru Geto began to look around for new prey.
Opportunities like this, with rare Cursed Spirits to choose from, were not many, perhaps even only this one time.
Suguru Geto also opened his eyes this wide for the first time, wishing he could scrutinize every single Cursed Spirit.
