Bab 601: -594- Going all out
"Clap!"
The crisp sound of a palm strike marked the beginning of an intense battle, causing the dense jutsuryoku to reverberate through the corridor.
Kagami Reiji, with a sadistic smile, was the first to break the deadlock. Chanting incantations at a lightning-fast pace, he invoked one of the most potent spells:
"————————"
It was the Mahavairocana Mantra, known as one of the mightiest in the Imperial-Style.
To everyone's astonishment, Kagami Reiji unleashed this immensely powerful spell right from the start, turning the raging torrent of jutsuryoku into a crimson tsunami. It surged from him like an avalanche, crashing towards Rozen.
"Kagami!"
"You...!"
Even Kogure Zenjirou and Yuge Mari seemed taken aback that Kagami Reiji would utilize such a level of spell from the outset, and they cried out in surprise.
However, Kagami Reiji paid no heed to the two. He simply fueled his jutsuryoku, shaping it into a furious spell, flooding the entire corridor like a relentless wave, charging forward.
In the face of this overwhelming torrent, Rozen appeared minuscule. His coat scattered fiery sparks as it fluttered, giving him an ethereal and dignified appearance.
Rozen gazed at the surging wave of jutsuryoku, maintaining a remarkable calmness.
After all, things were different now. Rozen not only possessed the lethal duo of Kinu and Gyokuto but also held all the knowledge of Yakou's lifetime.
In terms of understanding and knowledge of jujutsu, perhaps only Ashiya Douman, an ancient monster who had lived for thousands of years, and Hishamaru, who had continuously assisted Yakou in his research, could rival him in this world.
Therefore, faced with the Mahavairocana Mantra once again, Rozen chose not to resist with pure strength. Instead, he instantly found the method to counter it within his mind.
At the same time, Rozen sensed something.
He felt his blood quickening.
This was...
"A sensation of thrill..."
Indeed.
In that fleeting moment, Rozen truly felt his blood boiling.
The enemies were three Independent Exorcists, all skilled and valiant national-level Onmyoji.
Alone, but accompanied by the ever-present Kinu and Gyokuto, Rozen faced the oncoming tide of force.
"If this is the chance to prove my true strength..."
"I'll go all out, then."
With this thought in mind, an unprecedented surge pulsed through Rozen's Mind's Eye, merging with the vast knowledge of jujutsu within his mind and swiftly found the best way to combat the situation.
"Snap! Snap!"
The sound of Rozen's fingers snapping filled the air.
Confronting the engulfing torrent of jutsuryoku rushing towards him, Rozen quickly snapped his fingers twice with one hand while intricately drawing a sigil with the other. Simultaneously, he began chanting.
"————————"
It was the Merciful Salvation Spell of the Fudo Myouou, capable of erecting a protective barrier around oneself to deflect all malignant forces.
"Clang!"
In an instant, Rozen's body emanated a brilliant halo, bathing his entire form in a lush green glow, enveloping him within the barrier deflecting the oncoming jujutsu.
The furious torrent of force crashed against Rozen but was thwarted by the protective barrier of the Merciful Salvation Spell. It was like waves crashing against a rock, creating a spray of layers, unable to move Rozen. Far from causing harm, it couldn't even make him take a step back.
"What...!?"
The sadistic smile on Kagami Reiji's face froze.
Though Kagami Reiji never expected this move to defeat Rozen, it was, at best, a showy greeting. Kagami Reiji was certain that Rozen would either employ an unknown jutsu to defend or rely on the mystical artifact on him to evade. Therefore, he had already devised and calculated the jujutsu he would employ afterward.
Unfortunately, Rozen was about to showcase a technique that would utterly overturn everyone's perception of him.
"————————"
Maintaining the Merciful Salvation Spell, Rozen calmly and quickly chanted a new spell, extending his hands and clapping them resoundingly.
In this moment, a terrifying burst of jutsuryoku erupted from Rozen, piercing through space and instantly striking Kagami Reiji.
"Bang!
In a thunderous explosion, Kagami Reiji was struck by an unseen colossal force, sent flying as if he had stepped on a landmine.
"Splurt!"
A spurt of crimson blood burst from Kagami Reiji's mouth.
"What...!?"
Floating mid-air, Kagami Reiji was unable to react, his eyes wide open.
"This is... from Imperial-Style..."
Yes.
This was a spell from the Imperial-Style, derived from the technique of striking a mountain from afar in Taoism. No matter how far the distance, as long as it was within the range of Rozen's jutsuryoku, it could attack the target instantly.
So, as Rozen finished chanting the spell, Kagami Reiji was doomed to be hit.
Moreover, with Rozen's already formidable jutsuryoku, bolstered by the assistance of Kinu, Kagami Reiji had no chance to defend himself. He was hit instantly, suffering severe injuries.
"Reiji!"
Kogure Zenjirou couldn't help but shout.
"To think he incapacitated one of the Twelve Divine Generals in an instant...!?"
Yuge Mari also couldn't believe her eyes.
"————————"
At this point, Rozen had already formed hand seals, chanting the "Unmoving Golden Chains" jutsu. The chains of jutsuryoku transformed into wandering dragons and roared towards the direction of the remaining Independent Exorcist.
"Ugh...!"
Yuge Mari reacted immediately, hastily forming hand seals and creating a makeshift barrier in front of her.
"Boom!"
The dragon-like jujutsu chains crashed against the hastily erected barrier. They were easily repelled.
However...
"Careful! It's a trap!"
Kogure Zenjirou shouted at Yuge Mari, making her shudder.
Yet, it was already too late for her to react.
"————————"
The resounding true words representing Lord Shakra, the ruler of the Devas, echoed clearly. The expelled jujutsu chains suddenly came to life, transforming into countless vast lightning bolts.
It was only at this moment that Yuge Mari understood: Rozen possessed the extraordinary ability to alter already cast spells, changing a binding curse halfway into a thunder technique.
"How is this possible!?"
Yuge Mari exclaimed in disbelief.
Countless lightning bolts exploded in this state, each one striking Yuge Mari.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, the sound of lightning striking the ground incessantly burst forth, swallowing Yuge Mari in the lightning.
"Yuge!"
Kogure Zenjirou's face changed rapidly.
Next, Kogure Zenjirou glared at Rozen with anger.
"Tsuchimikado! You...!"
Kogure Zenjirou raised his divine blade.
But...
"Too slow!"
Rozen clapped his hands again.
"Bang!"
The Taoist technique of "striking a mountain from afar" was executed with a shortened incantation, causing the impact of jutsuryoku to explode upon Kogure Zenjirou, sending him flying.
In Rozen's hands, the three of the "Twelve Divine Generals" were instantly crushed.
