Chapter 87: Osaka Castle
After leaving the Imperial Palace, the 16 onmyojis began to rally the other onmyojis and announced that Sumika was actually a descendant of the Great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei, and was able to cast various spells with the ancestral shikigami Royal Nine-tailed Fox, trying to enhance their morale before the war .
Witnessing Sumika’s long, narrow chin and furry ears, thousands of onmyoji gathered there were shocked and surprised as they were instantly convinced .
It turned out that these onmyojis were still worried that they were in a weak position and the battle was destined to be a disaster, hence some couldn’t help but want to sneak away before the war and some even planned to retain their strength when fighting in case that they had the opportunity to hide……
However, hearing that the famous female onmyoji Ono Sumika, who ranked number 1 and was actually a descendant of Abe no Seimei, even had the powerful shikigami Royal Nine-tailed Fox, they morale suddenly increased as some even took the initiative to serve as the vanguard team and fight under the leadership of Sumika!
“We now have a high morale and we must make full use of it . If we cannot completely eliminate the Shuten-doji within 12 hours, the consequences will be disastrous . ”
“Hurry up, let’s go!”
After representatives negotiated, they decided to divide the team to the front, middle and rear army .
First, they picked out the most combat efficient ones and set up a vanguard team, which was led by Sumika and heading toward Ginza District .
Then, they picked out half of the onmyojis with normal combat skills from the remaining staff and set up the substitute force .
If the casualties of the vanguard team were too large, they would be supplemented by the substitute force .
For the rest of the onmyojis who were not good at fighting or had auxiliary spells, were recruited into the rear army .
The existence of the rear army could guaranteed that the army wouldn’t be besieged and they would also serve as medical personnel on the field at critical times to save the wounded .
Ginza was divided into Area 1 to Area 8, with a total length of about one kilometer, which was a major business district in the central district of Tokyo, Japan .
It was filled with high-end shops and entertainment centers and was known as the heart of Tokyo .
At the same time, Ginza was also among one of the world’s third most bustling centers, along with the Champs Elysées in Paris and the Fifth Avenue in New York .
But now it was different since the originally prosperous Central District now had become a ghost town .
Not only no living personnel could be seen, but under the scarlet moonlight, white bones and all kinds of strange ghosts and demons were wandering everywhere .
In the middle, a huge and weird building towered into the sky .
Everyone could see at a single glance that this was by no means an ordinary thing since it didn’t have any supporting foundation as it was suspended in the air!
On the huge walls resembling a square, the ghosts and demons with green faces and fangs were patrolling .
Inside the walls, there were high castles, arrow towers and lookout towers……and a magnificent mansion located in the center .
Sumika and others could see clearly that a giant eye-catching, unmoving giant was sitting inside the magnificent mansion .
This giant’s face was blood-red and he seemed masculine . There were horns and some messy red short hair on his head . His waist was tied with a scented animal skin……
He was extremely similar to the introduction of the Shuten-doji mentioned in the Japanese folklore!
“Shuten-doji! I can see it, it’s right there! Is he sleeping to regain his strength?”
“What is this? Building floating in the air? There are no ladders, how can we go up?”
“Well……How can we fight against him? We can’t even enter his front gate!”
Not yet breaked into the Central District, they were shocked by the stunning scene as everyone looked at each other and couldn’t help panicking .
After all, none of them had mastered the flying technique so they could only look up to the weird building floating in the sky .
“Don’t panic!”
Sumika knew that it was necessary to stabilize morale at this time, thus she stood out decisively after figuring out what the buildings were .
“It is not a usual building, it’s the Osaka Castle!
Pointing to the building floating in the air, Sumika continued to explain to everyone . “If I didn’t guess wrong, this should be the Osaka Castle that the demons cast spells to turn fossils into mud and construct temporarily”
“Everyone, think about it . Why didn’t the powerful Shuten-doji take the initiative to destroy us, instead, he had his demons construct the Osaka Castle?”
Sumika yelled in a tone similar to Detective Conan . “There is only one possible truth! The strength of the Shuten-doji has not yet fully recovered . It fears our crusade and delays our time!”
“Time! We need to eliminate the Shuten-doji in just 12 hours and he definitely needs time to regain strength!” Even with the onmyoji technique to make her voice louder, Sumika’s voice became hoarse . “We’re halfway through the time limit of 12 hours and there really is not much time to waste! Please fight to the end to defeat the Shuten-doji and end the Hyakkiyakou today with me . ”
Ever since Sumika was informed that she was the descendant of the Great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei, she felt that there was an invisible sense of responsibility on her shoulders every moment and she wasn’t concerned of her own gender now .
In the past, Sumika was shy and fearful when talking to male strangers, but now she could manage thousands of male onmyojis and deliver a speech in front of them without feeling embarrassed or shy .
There seemed to be a fire burning in her heart that she felt deeply and made her live up to the blood and inheritance of Abe no Seimei, she wanted to imitate her ancestor to crusade against the Shuten-doji .
No one actually forced her to do anything, but she just felt that she was responsible by herself .
As if inspired and moved by her emotions, many onmyojis on the scene had tears welling up in their eyes .
They took off the black crowns, wiped them clean, put them on again and carefully dusted off the white hunting suits .
Everyone knew that ordinary people could retreat, but they were onmyojis who mastered their extraordinary powers, so they must not and couldn’t fall back .
