814 Shigure Tendo, is that you!? (2/2)

Seiji was now absolutely certain that he was fighting against Shigure Tendo!

Seiji was familiar with Shigure's sword techniques from previously fighting against and together with him during the Bloodwine Ritual tournament. Seiji felt that there was a more than ninety percent probability that this warrior was Shigure Tendo. The less than ten percent was that this warrior was someone else who knew the same sword techniques.

Why would Shigure appear here in such a state!?

Had he joined the Messengers? Or, were the Messengers taking advantage of him?

Seiji felt that the latter was more likely.

Although Seiji didn't know Shigure very well, Seiji felt that Shigure was the type of person who would be very easy to take advantage of and used by others.

It was unknown what butterfly effect had caused Shigure to attack the White Sakura Goddess, differing from the Destruction Timeline.

But no matter what, it was certain that it was due to Seiji's loading and changing the timeline that this situation arose. From a certain standpoint, he was responsible for Shigure becoming like this.

Seiji was willing to take this responsibility.

”Demon Suppression Bell”!

A golden bell appeared and covered the Evil White Sakura Goddess's warrior. However, the warrior broke through the bell in a mere two seconds.

Seiji created a telekinesis clone for the third time. He no longer tried to fight directly in melee range. Instead, he started putting distance between them while using long-range magic attacks!

Although Seiji's telekinesis clone was in no way weak, the clone seemed as fragile as a sheet of paper in front of the warrior's sword. The clone was slain over and over again. Yet, due to Seiji's clever manipulations, his constant clone onslaught was able to successfully stall the warrior.

If this had been Natsuya or anyone else from Seiji's group attempting this, they would have been courting death. It was unlikely that even all of them combined would have a fighting chance!

This one-armed warrior was just about undefeatable in melee.

At the very least, not a single person present was capable of facing him directly in melee. Not even Seiji Kamijou would be able to accomplish this. Although the warrior's other attacks and techniques could still be blocked or dodged, his ultimate Evil Goddess technique was ridiculously powerful! It was unmistakable that this technique possessed the Evil White Sakura Goddess's power.

The dark red light around the warrior dimmed slightly after he received several successive spell attacks.

”Arrrghhhhhh!!!!”

He suddenly started trembling all over while making a scream of pain. The runes on his body shone with bright scarlet as the light around him became agitated. This light transformed into a dense dark red mist that then expanded into a gigantic umbrella-shaped barrier!

Seiji shot out a sword of light that was completely absorbed by the umbrella-shaped barrier. His attack seemed to do no damage.

This seemed like a second stage of a boss battle where the boss was undergoing a transformation.

”Everyone, attack!” Seiji immediately decided to have all his friends in the distance launch their attacks.

Natsuya and the others had all prepared their attack techniques and spells already. They immediately cast their abilities simultaneously!

Lightning, wind blades, sharp icicles, spiritual blades, Mana Bullets, insects, and demons… all sorts of high-powered long-range attacks were aimed directly at the one-armed warrior!!!

*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!* A deafening noise could be heard.

The warrior's umbrella-shaped barrier blocked the torrential tide of attacks!

However, there was still clear evidence that he'd expended a decent amount of energy in forcefully having his barrier absorb all these blows, since his umbrella-shaped barrier became a bit smaller.

Evil Goddess technique, ”Destruction Slash”!

The one-armed warrior raised his sword, creating a pillar of flames around it that shot up towards the skies. He then slashed with his sword and created a gigantic tornado of dark flames that shot towards Seiji's friends in the distance!

Reversal spell, ”Dragon Counterattack”!

Seiji had his telekinesis clone stand in front of his friends and cast the counterspell to block the dark flame tornado and send it right back towards the warrior in the form of a golden dragon!

Although the telekinesis clone succeeded in countering the dark flame tornado, it was pitifully destroyed yet again by the overwhelming power.

The warrior charged towards Seiji's real body, while the golden dragon charged towards the warrior.

Seiji cast a defensive barrier spell on himself to block the attack. He allowed the golden dragon to strike both himself and the warrior!

There was an instantaneous blinding flash of light along with the sound of fierce clash.

”Seiji…” Natsuya and the others all became quite worried.

They then saw to their astonishment that the golden dragon's light then seemed to meld into the light that came afterwards. The golden dragon reassembled itself into yet another telekinesis clone that gave off a powerful blinding holy light.

[Evolved Telekinesis Clone]! Holy Light edition!

*Pow!* Seiji's real body was sent flying by the warrior's attack.

*Bam!* The warrior was sent flying by a powerful attack from the [Evolved Telekinesis Clone].
