Volume 7 - Mount Ooe: Chapter 76 – Battling the Fiendish King

Todo Koan was a genius powerhouse of the corpse demons. He was an existence older than Shuten Doji!

Todo’s two long arms actually had two bone blades piecing through the skin. Those bone blades were coated in purplish black blood, a substance more poisonous than the poison on Kenki’s blade, thousand year old corpse poison!

Even a powerhouse like Shuten Doji would have to take precautions against this poison.

Lily’s keen senses told her just how terrifying that poison was!

As Todo swung that bone blade, the very air corroded into black smoke!

Before the demon enforcer’s corpse collapsed onto the ground, the bone blade was already stabbing towards Lily’s chest!

This corpse poison was far more potent than anything Lily had seen before, if that blade even brushed past her, she would probably be poisoned!

One foot stomped down, and Lily launched herself back in retreat!

“Hm!? So fast?” Todo was surprised, Lily was actually faster than he was!

“Kagami Lily, can it be that you also have the divine soul unity method? Did you only have part of your soul the last time we fought!??” A beautiful sword appeared in Momiji’s hand and drew in a colossal amount of wind. Dancing within the winds seemed to be arc after arc of bloody light.

Swoosh! From high above, Momiji stabbed at Lily!

This stab brought with it spiraling blood leaves, the sword wind and leaves formed an extremely fast spinning spindle! Just looking at the spindle-shaped sword wind makes one feel their soul being stirred!

Lily’s cursed blade suddenly lit up in a gorgeous pink purple glow like the morning light as she slashed against Momiji’s strike!

A purple moon sword beam flew towards the wind blade as it fluctuated like an illusion!

Crash!!!

The purple sword beam sliced through the wind blade and continued onto Momiji.

“What!??”

The purple sword beam was extremely fast and Momiji threw herself into a dodge.

Slash——!!!

The purple sword beam brushed Momiji’s hair, smashing through her exquisite headdress and sending strands of hair floating in the air.

Momiji’s heart chilled, if she had taken that purple sword beam head on, she would have died!

“Kagami Lily...you...what are you...”

At this moment, Todo dashed forward in attack while from behind Lily, a thirty meter tall Red Demon Mamukuro took large steps towards her. Mamukuro was too tall, just a few steps were needed to reach her, it raised two gigantic demon claws and smashed towards Lily!

Boom!!!

The entire chain rampart was crushed and sent into the abyss, but Lily’s form had turned into a red streak, leaping high and evading the blow!

She landed on Mamukuro’s head and her cursed blade started radiating a breathtaking light.

“Celestial Maiden Path·Scythe!”

Clang!!!

The terrifying purple sword beam crashed against Momiji’s blade and the accompanying pressure slashed deep wounds into Momiji’s shoulders, sending blood flying.

Momiji had forcibly blocked the blow, but her arms were numb, her body injured by the shock and blood trickled from the corner of her lips.

But before she recovered, Lily had already reached her.

“Not good! This woman...she’s crazy!”

Momij directly threw her ninth-grade blade at Lily, but Lily swung out with Yasutsuna single handedly, Clang!!!

A shockwave like two mountain peaks colliding spread out, the clash dispersed all nearby clouds!

In the end, Lily only shook a bit while Momiji’s blade was knocked flying, but that was enough time for Momiji to pull out an enchanting treasured orb. The orb let out a dazzling light, blinding Lily for a bit. Suddenly the light shrank into small dot in the air and disappeared. Momiji had disappeared with the light, not a trace of her aura could be felt.

“She fled?” Lily held up the sakura parasol and gently borrowed the wind of the sakura petals, blowing herself up and landing on the cliff road.

To put it simply, this great battle where the entire force of Mount Ooe came out to besiege Lily lasted only a few breaths. In this short battle, Lily had killed nine out of Shuten’s ten demon enforcers, and of the three fiendish kings, Lily had killed one!

Boom!!! Shuten Doji instantly grew to ten meters tall and slapped down with a demon claw!

His throne, several voice transmission orbs and several maids by his side were vaporized!

“Kagami Lily!!!!!”

Shuten Doji raged and endless eldritch energy erupted and danced like world-ending flames, shaking the entire cave.

“Kagami Lily!!!!!! I will kill you! I will slaughter you!!!”

In anger, Shuten stepped onto a huge gourd, it rose into the air before flying at an incredible speed out of the cave. Along the way, boulders and golems were smashed into pieces, the scattered eldritch flames fell onto the floor igniting into fire waves, and the weak demons who couldn’t get out of the way were torn apart by the airflow, dying on the spot!

Uesugi Rei laid within the shaking cave, the powerful eldritch energy blew her clothes and sent her hair flying. The body that had suffered being whipped trembled uncontrollably.

“Lily...run...hurry, run!!!” She didn’t care if Lily could hear her or not, she screamed loudly, that tone, especially for a woman, was very heartbreaking.

“Sister Uesugi!?” Standing on the cliffside, Lily seemed to hear the voice vaguely.

But before she could look for the voice, the entirety of Mount Ooe shook as if an earthquake was happening.

In the vast skies, black clouds gathered and formed a whirlpool of clouds centered above Mount Ooe.

An overwhelming sense of eldritch energy was blowing towards her!

Just the demon wind was strong enough to wobble the peak-stage throned monarch Lily when she wasn’t using purple lunar force. Her hair and clothes danced wildly in this yellowish eldritch wind. She felt that her clothes could be torn at any time.

Above Mount Ooe, a billowing black cloud formed, and within that cloud a world burning spark could be seen! It was like the eruption of an ancient volcano!

“Kagami Lily——!!!” Within the dark cloud came a cry, it was ancient and sounded like it could conquer the souls of all female adepts in the world.

His large bare bronze foot stepped out of the billowing black clouds and onto the roiling lava on top of Mount Ooe. His form was ten meters tall, and from a distance, he looked like a god connecting the top of the mountain and the sky.

This was Shuten Doji! One of the three great arch-demons rivaling the Heian-Dynasty!
