791 Nice sho (1/2)

Yakushi once again used his ”Magic Bee Needle” attack against the golden Seiji clone. The clone instantly started flashing after it was pincushioned by the needles. It then disappeared to reveal nothing more than an afterimage as the clone had actually dodged the attack.

Seeing that this needle attack was ineffective, Yakushi instantly changed to a different spell. Some of the beehive-shaped spell formations around him started to glow black…

Seiji controlled his telekinesis clone to go near to Yakushi and swing its White Lotus spiritual sword with maximum power against Yakushi's barrier!

*Clang!* The white blade let off a blinding light the moment it came into contact with Yakushi's barrier. Although the barrier wasn't even scratched by the electric windblast earlier, the white sword pierced through it so easily, aiming straight for Yakushi's face!

Something flashed in Yakushi's eyes. However, he made no attempt at dodging. Two black claws suddenly reached out from the black-glowing spell formations. These claws swiftly grabbed the golden clone!

'Explode!' Seiji wanted to self-destruct his telekinesis clone for a powerful attack. However, he discovered that he had lost control of his clone.

Poison curse, ”Night Corrosion Claw”!

Yakushi had the two black claws pierce into the golden clone and corrode it.

Seiji instantly felt a backlash through his telekinesis clone. He made a sound of pain and had an obvious expression of discomfort.

Despite this, Seiji changed his hand seal and brought his fingers together...

Killing curse, ”Shadow Pierce”!

The remaining White Lotus spiritual sword instantly fell apart to reveal a black spike from within which swiftly shot towards Yakushi's face!

This was Seiji's real attack all along.

However, Yakushi wasn't fazed by this attack.

This was because he had more than one powerful protective barrier on himself. Otherwise, this sudden offensive spell might have even killed him.

”Not bad.” Yakushi adjusted his eyeglasses, which had been slightly knocked askew by the fight.

Seiji calmed down his breathing which had become slightly unsteady.

The first round between them counted as a draw.

The next instant, Yakushi jumped up from the snake head. All the beehive-shaped spell formations around him started glowing yellow. An incredibly dense amount of sharp needles formed and aimed at everyone!

Seiji made a hand seal and created a shining golden defensive barrier for all his companions!

In the next instant, all the spiritual needles shot out!

Shika was the only one who successfully dodged the needles. Some were hit by more, and some were hit by less needles. Luckily, Seiji's barrier protected everyone from harm.

One possible strategy would be to forcefully fight the strongest enemy and take him out first, making everything much easier afterwards. However, another strategy would be to first attack the weakest members.

Yakushi decided to first target an adult woman who wore a blue dress. Four yellow wings of light appeared around him which then swiftly flew around a viciously attacking insect swarm towards his target.

Thunderbolts, wind blades, and arrows of light all shot towards him. Yakushi dodged or blocked all of these attacks while also preparing a powerful spell of his own.

Killing curse, ”Venom Grudge Snake”!

A dense gray mist poured out from a spell formation between his hands, forming into a giant gray snake. The scales on the snake resembled countless distorted human faces that were screaming and howling. It was truly frightening to behold.

The gray snake swiftly pounced at the blue dress woman—who was Mayuzumi—while opening up its black jaw to reveal nothing but pitch-black darkness!

Kaho's insects and Kazuko's demons were instantly destroyed upon touching it. It seemed that nothing could block the gray snake's path.

Mayuzumi felt terror wash over her. She could have used her spirit Idelia to block the attack for her, but she instinctively realized that even sacrificing Idelia would be useless.

Only one thing was capable of blocking this attack...

A golden flash instantly appeared before her, transforming into a golden version of Seiji.

Seiji had reactivated his telekinesis clone!

Reversal spell, [Dragon Counterattack]!

Seiji had his clone stand right in front of Mayuzumi and cast his ultimate counterspell to block the gray snake and transform it into an attack sent back at its caster.

However…

Yakushi casually twisted the spell formation in his hand, creating a second giant gray snake from the mist. This snake pounced at an even greater speed towards another target!

He had more than one ”Venom Grudge Snake” up his sleeve.

The second snake's target was the purple-robed girl who was currently fighting against one of the snake heads—Yukari!
