Volume 7 - Mount Ooe: Chapter 92 – Top Level Battle

Boom! The formation was destroyed by Ayaka and the ten thousand troops forming the formation suffered a backlash, collapsing one after another with varying injuries.

“Cough...cough...” Shenzu vomited blood and fell onto the ruins of the collapsed wall. The remnant shockwaves were enough to inflict worse injuries than what she had suffered against Lily. She attempted to stand up and continue commanding the army despite the blood she was throwing up but could not.

“Damn, that Fujiwara no Ayaka is so powerful, she easily destroyed the Great Rokuhara Army Formation...”

Around Fujiwara no Ayaka, countless lotus leaves once again gathered into three lotus flowers as she stepped on the flow and stood in midair.

“Hmph. A mere formation at the level of the big dipper, you wanted to capture me with that? If you weren’t all soldiers of the imperial court, I would have long annihilated you! Get lost!”

With Ayaka’s strength, if she really wanted to kill these elite Rokuhara black armored troops, even if she couldn’t kill ten thousand with a strike, she could still annihilate a thousand with a blow.

Just as Shenzu and the ten thousand troops were helpless in front of Ayaka...

In the sky, the last ray of light in the eastern skies was covered by a boundless darkness. Dark clouds that looked like black mud flowed in and covered half the skies above the Chief Advisor’s mansion.

An ancient dreary sedan chair flew in from a distance. This sedan chair was made of ancient thousand year old wood and the black curtains were embroidered with dark gold Genji crests.

The closer it got, the more its enormous size was revealed. This sedan chair was taller than most pavilions! It flew on its own, surrounded by inky black clouds.

Seeing the sedan chair, Fujiwara no Ayaka frowned, “He’s finally here.”

Fujiwara no Ayaka was not a faithful believer, though she followed and supported the emperor, she was not foolishly loyal. The person behind the scenes who wanted to take her down obviously did not plan on relying upon an imperial edict.

They just needed to have sufficient reason to send troops.

The huge sedan chair stopped above the chief advisor mansion’s gate, it was 18 feet long, 36 feet tall. Facing Ayaka in the air, it looked like a giant and emanated tyrannical power.

When Shenzu saw the sedan chair, her eyes glowed, and morale of the Rokuhara and Genji troops soared!

“He has come!”

The curtain of the sedan chair was brushed aside as a ten meter tall hulking warrior came out. He was wearing pitch-black armor, a black lacquer helm with a black demon face mask. The armor had dark golden stripes, and if examined closely, those stripes were flickering amongst the countless secret runes flowing along the armor.

The huge demon masked samurai stepped into the air, each step leaving behind black mud. That mud didn’t remain in the air and dropped like heavy rocks, smashing through tiles. Neew updates at novel/bin(.)com

The giant demon masked samurai faced Fujiwara no Ayaka, like a giant facing a small petite maiden.

His voice was deep and thick, echoing in the night skies.

Silva: I am inclined to agree with you, but sometimes when blood rushes to your head (battle high), you just can’t think straight">2!”

Fujiwara no Ayaka’s body glowed with silver spirit power, bright, beautiful, and unfathomable! Around her, five crystalline lotus flowers bloomed as Fujiwara no Ayaka released the full extent of her spirit power!

Boom!

The earth started rumbling, and up high, the skies were divided in two, half silent starry skies and half billowing inky clouds, neither side relenting against the other.

The ten thousand troops down below stared silently at the sky, watching the clash between the two peak pillars of the imperial court.

Shenzu had stood up and swallowed a life-recovery magatama, looking up at the two peerless powerhouses, she now realized that Fujiwara no Ayaka had shown mercy. To capture Fujiwara no Ayaka, without Minamoto no Yoritomo, it would be useless even if all the forces of Heian-kyo moved.

“Lord Shogun...” Though Shenzu called him father face to face, in her heart, she would not recognize him. For her, everything was just to gain strength from him. But this time, he really made her feel awe.

“Terrifying, this man is really terrifying...”

“Only... that Fujiwara no Ayaka’s aura doesn’t lose to him... so this was not a battle I was qualified for...”

Black mist started spreading from the fangs of the demon mask, “What a pity, Fujiwara no Ayaka, that you and I have come to this point.”

Within his hands, a giant long sword appeared, ancient and radiating darkness. Heaven and earth, for a moment, reached equilibrium between the two giant forces. After a brief moment of silence...

Boom!!! Minamoto no Yoritomo attacked! The giant demon masked samurai turned into a black phantom, disappearing from the skies.

“What!???” The troops on the ground shouted in shock, “Lord Shogun, he, he disappeared!??”

Even Shenzu was shocked, Minamoto no Yoritomo disappeared!? No! He was so fast that even she could not see him! Too fast! But his body was so big!

Fujiwara no Ayaka could see him clearly! The ten meter tall demon masked samurai crossed the distance in an instant and reached her, attacking from the front with monstrous power!

Slash! The giant long sword sliced through Fujiwara no Ayaka, but it was just an afterimage. Ayaka’s real body had dashed into the high skies, appearing within the starry skies, as she waved her arm, a gohei appeared in her hand.

Bzzt!

A brilliant spirit energy arrow surrounded by stars and white lotuses crystallized and crashed down like a meteor in the darkness towards Minamoto no Yoritomo!
