Chapter 205: Sacrificing the Nine-Tailed Fox to Summon the True Dragon God
Yasaka looked grimly at the scene before her.
Just as Mr. Renji had said, the Khaos Brigade had attacked.
And now, this entire space felt different from the Kyoto she knew—it seemed like an artificially constructed alternate dimension.
That was why she couldn't contact the outside world; they were isolated.
With their connection to the outside world severed, a problem had arisen elsewhere, forcing the youkai to deal with it. Clearly, this was the enemy's plan to divert attention.
So, she and her guards had no choice but to rely on themselves to break through this space.
But she had already used her immense power to attack the fog space that trapped them, to little effect.
Thus, the only way out was to defeat the master who created this space.
"Be careful!!!"
Yasaka immediately warned her guards and the other great youkai, sensing someone approaching.
Her pupils contracted as the fog before her began to disperse, revealing several figures.
"You're from the Khaos Brigade, aren't you?"
"Yes, we are the Hero Faction of the Khaos Brigade, and I am the leader of this faction—Cao Cao."
The name Cao Cao made Yasaka's pupils slightly contract. Was he a descendant of that hero from the Three Kingdoms period of the ancient Eastern nation?
Most importantly, the spear in his hand made Yasaka's heart race, giving her a strong sense of mortal danger.
"What? Interested in the spear in my hand? This spear is called—Polar Night Longinus Chakravartin."
His words sent a chill down Yasaka's spine, and the youkai around her also recognized what this spear was, one by one showing fear.
Polar Night Longinus Chakravartin—reputed to be the first and strongest Sacred Gear, a spear said to be capable of piercing even gods.
"What are you planning?"
As Yasaka spoke these words, she was already preparing to attack.
"Hmm, I might as well tell you directly. The existence of the Kyoto you control is itself a large-scale ritual device surrounded by powerful ley lines. And as a Nine-Tailed Fox, you are the special safeguard of this device, intricately connected to it."
As he explained this, the fog dispersed further, allowing Yasaka to see her surroundings more clearly.
To her astonishment, she realized she was still in Kyoto.
No—
"This is a fake Kyoto."
Though it looked identical, it wasn't the Kyoto she governed. This was an alternate dimension mimicking Kyoto.
"Right, this is a simulated Kyoto, so haven't you noticed yet?"
The other party spoke with a teasing tone.
Noticed what?
After carefully sensing her surroundings, Yasaka's expression gradually darkened.
This fake Kyoto seemed to be turning into the real one, and the reason was that the fake Kyoto was absorbing the leyline power of the real Kyoto. If this continued, the real Kyoto would collapse.
The reason the fake Kyoto could absorb the real Kyoto's leyline power was precisely because she was also here, in this nearly identical Kyoto. This confused the leyline power, causing it to recognize the fake Kyoto as the real one and transfer its power here.
"Once Kyoto's power is fully absorbed, combined with your power as a sacrifice, this space will be able to connect with the dimensional gap. That should make it possible to summon the True Red Dragon God Emperor."
Was this their goal? To summon that Great Red?
"What do you plan to do after summoning Great Red?"
"Well, our boss finds it quite troublesome and wants to eliminate it."
These words made Yasaka's expression change again.
"Infinite Dragon God Ophis, is it?"
"Correct. It seems everyone knows Ophis is our leader now. But don't worry, she's not here."
Not here? Then how did they plan to deal with the True Red Dragon God Emperor?
"What? You think we can't handle the True Red Dragon God Emperor? Don't worry, we've prepared our trump card to deal with it!"
Originally, this trump card wouldn't have been so easily obtained.
But due to recent events, particularly the impending invasion from another world, Hades, the God of the Underworld, permitted them to use a sealed monster—a monster that feeds on dragons as its sustenance.
After capturing the True Red Dragon God Emperor, Hades intended to study it to create a powerful army to resist the invasion from another world.
No, rather, he wanted to invade another world himself.
And this situation was something Cao Cao was happy to see.
In this world, he couldn't act freely or engage in life-or-death battles with powerful beings as he wished.
After all, without any grudges, who would agree to a fight to the death? Without such battles, life was dull.
If he forced killings, he would be hunted, forcing him to constantly hide.
But in another world, there wouldn't be so many restrictions.
Moreover, once both sides clashed, it would be an era of chaos.
Chaos was the perfect time for heroes and overlords to emerge. Like his ancestor, Cao Cao, who inherited his ancestor's name, also wanted to achieve great deeds, surpassing even his ancestor's accomplishments.
"Trump card?"
Though she didn't know what it was, Yasaka didn't think the other party was bluffing.
This made her even more uneasy!!!
In the next instant, her spell was complete—she would strike first!
A massive nine-tailed fox phantom appeared, its gaping maw flashing with light and flames as a terrifying pillar of fire slammed fiercely toward the other party's group.
"What!"
Yasaka couldn't help but exclaim. That was an attack capable of annihilating a High-class Devil, yet it was effortlessly sliced apart and dissipated by the other party's holy spear.
"Well then, apologies. For the sake of our ambitions, Yasaka, the princess of Kyoto's youkai, you'll have to make a small sacrifice."
He spoke these infuriating words with a smile, causing the surrounding youkai to charge forward. However, various monsters emerged from the thick fog that had once again enveloped the area, surrounding everyone.
Thus, Yasaka prepared to activate a new spell.
But at that moment, the opponent's holy spear glowed, startling her. Though no attack was launched, a sphere materialized?
Though she didn't understand its purpose, it felt extremely ominous, so she had to act immediately.
Just as she was about to activate her spell, the sphere emitted a radiant light, and the result was—
"How could this be—!"
She was imprisoned within a sphere of light, and the spell in her hand vanished instantly.
At that moment, it felt as though all her abilities had been stripped away.
Thus, Yasaka could only watch helplessly as her subordinates desperately tried to rescue her while fiercely resisting the onslaught of the monsters.
Casualties began to mount almost immediately!
So, what could she do?
She decided to use the card given to her by Mr. Renji.
However, her magical power was also affected by the sphere of light. The moment she released it, it would be erased.
This resulted in too little magical energy flowing into the card, rendering it unusable.
What should she do?
Yasaka couldn't help but despair, watching in horror as her people were slaughtered.
Suddenly, the card reacted!
