With Ishiryu and the others successively defeated.
On the intense battlefield, only Nanmen was still maintaining high-intensity combat at the Special Grade level.
Tamamo-no-Mae, wielding the Special Grade Cursed Tool Hoji, fought while retreating, aided by fox tails condensed from her Cursed Energy.
She was constantly searching for an opportunity to defeat Mahoraga with a single blow.
In the previous battle, others had gone first.
Therefore, Tamamo-no-Mae, who joined the fight last, had not yet been adapted to by Mahoraga's flame attacks.
Because of this, Tamamo-no-Mae had a chance to defeat Mahoraga.
But it was clear that Eiji knew this as well.
Therefore, Mahoraga was now ferociously attacking Tamamo-no-Mae with all its might.
Tamamo-no-Mae couldn't even find a moment to charge up a powerful flame attack.
However, she couldn't use her normal strength fox fire attacks either.
Because that would cause Mahoraga to adapt to Tamamo-no-Mae's fox fire, and then Tamamo-no-Mae would truly have no chance of winning.
"Damn it, this won't do."
Just as Tamamo-no-Mae was contemplating a way to break through, another powerful Cursed Energy aura targeted her.
Tamamo-no-Mae's hair stood on end.
She forcefully swung several fox tails at Mahoraga.
Tamamo-no-Mae took the opportunity while Mahoraga was swatting away the fox tails to turn and look towards the source of the Cursed Energy aura.
What met her eyes were eight cannon muzzles.
Looking at those eight muzzles, which clearly exuded immense power, Tamamo-no-Mae couldn't help but want to curse.
What kind of monster was this, and why did it look somewhat familiar?
'Wait, this guy, perhaps I can use him.'
The experienced Tamamo-no-Mae immediately realized that this enemy's appearance might not be a bad thing.
Clang.
Tamamo-no-Mae deflected Mahoraga's Demon-Slaying Sword with her spear.
The powerful force sent Tamamo-no-Mae flying.
Orochi, which had been about to fire its eight Cursed Energy Cannons, was forced to hold back.
Then, Orochi followed the direction Tamamo-no-Mae was flying and turned its cannons.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Several balls of fox fire appeared, transforming into multiple Tamamo-no-Maes and a fire fox.
After the illusory Tamamo-no-Maes appeared, they immediately surrounded Mahoraga, who was in hot pursuit.
These illusions had been tacitly allowed to adapt, so they wouldn't work on Mahoraga.
But they would work on Orochi.
Seeing one Tamamo-no-Mae suddenly turn into many, Orochi also turned its cannons to cover all of them.
Among them was Mahoraga, whose figure was obscured by Tamamo-no-Mae.
Boom, boom, boom.
Cursed Energy Cannon shells were fired, their immense power directly covering an area of a hundred meters.
Whoosh.
Tamamo-no-Mae, riding the fire fox, finally managed to escape and began to summon flames, charging her attack.
Mahoraga saw the smoke and glanced at Orochi.
Mahoraga remembered this Orochi, one of the few that allowed it to have a satisfying fight.
Since the other party had actively attacked, Mahoraga really wanted to go and fight.
But according to Eiji's instructions, this guy was now an ally.
"Hmph."
Mahoraga exhaled a breath of stale air and continued to attack Tamamo-no-Mae.
At this moment, Tamamo-no-Mae was riding the fire fox, constantly flying through the sky, and the fireball in her hand was growing larger.
Suddenly, the Special Grade Cursed Spirit Taotie flew behind Tamamo-no-Mae.
Taotie's massive mouth opened, nearly biting the fireball Tamamo-no-Mae was charging.
On the ground, several bone spikes shot towards Tamamo-no-Mae.
Just as Tamamo-no-Mae was about to dodge, the Rainbow Dragon suddenly rammed up from below.
The fireball in Tamamo-no-Mae's hand exploded.
The scattered Cursed Energy was greedily swallowed by the Taotie.
On the other side, on one of Orochi's snake heads.
"You need to recognize your allies, otherwise..."
Suguru Geto, with his eyes narrowed, flashed a sinister smile at Orochi.
Orochi's body trembled.
The next moment, Orochi's snake head elongated and thinned, its wide-range bombardment turning into precise sniping.
Suguru Geto withdrew Orochi's automatic targeting.
"Damn it, how does this guy have more Special Grade Cursed Spirits than I do?!"
Looking at the several Special Grade Cursed Spirits surrounding her, Tamamo-no-Mae couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Is that... the real Orochi?"
At this moment, Tamamo-no-Mae's gaze towards Suguru Geto changed.
Watching Suguru Geto's sinister smile directed at Orochi.
Combined with that fox-like expression, identical to her own.
Tamamo-no-Mae's first reaction was to find a kindred spirit.
Shouldn't someone like that join my side?
Why are they on the opposing team?
How can I recruit this guy too?
He's much stronger than Dhuruv and Kuromushi.
Unfortunately, the Rainbow Dragon and the Taotie didn't give Tamamo-no-Mae time to think.
Under Suguru Geto's command, several Special Grade Cursed Spirits successfully forced Tamamo-no-Mae lower.
Mahoraga's attack arrived.
"Damn it, this won't do."
Tamamo-no-Mae cast her gaze towards Suguru Geto.
"To catch the king, you must first catch the bandit. I have to kill him first."
Although she really wanted to recruit Suguru Geto, this fellow kindred spirit who resembled a fox like herself.
She currently lacked the capital to do so, being beaten into such a sorry state.
Thinking this, Fox Fire ignited.
A large number of Tamamo-no-Mae's illusions were released.
Tamamo-no-Mae's true body quietly flew towards Suguru Geto.
Then she discovered her plan had failed.
Because Mahoraga on the ground was following her closely.
Suguru Geto had also determined her true body based on Mahoraga's position.
"Kuro...mushi is dead?"
Tamamo-no-Mae was about to call Kuromushi for support, but the next second she found Kuromushi's aura had vanished.
Then she sensed the Great Tengu's aura.
It was clear the Great Tengu had also died.
At this moment, Tamamo-no-Mae, as a woman, felt a hint of helplessness well up inside her.
However, she quickly adjusted her mindset.
Looking at Suguru Geto, who was already not far from her, Tamamo-no-Mae gritted her teeth, formed hand seals, and prepared to fight with all her might.
"Domain Expansion: Blazing Peace Palace!"
A divine palace in the Heian style appeared in the center of the Domain.
Outside the palace was a desolate wilderness, and the outermost edge of the Domain was a ring of crimson Torii Gates.
The Torii Gates were like the windows of a building, one after another, extending to the very top of the Domain.
Beneath each Torii Gate stood a fire fox.
"Burn to ashes for me!"
Instantly, Suguru Geto and the Special Grade Cursed Spirits within the Domain burst into flames.
This won't work, the power is too dispersed.
To prevent the outer shell of her Domain from being shattered by these Special Grade Cursed Spirits before she could defeat Suguru Geto and Mahoraga, She could only pull all the Cursed Spirits into the Domain.
Tamamo-no-Mae's gaze fell upon Suguru Geto.
'His Cursed Technique should involve controlling Cursed Spirits. What will happen to the Cursed Spirits he controlled after I kill him?'
'Whatever, I'll burn this guy to death first.'
The next second, the flames on all the Special Grade Cursed Spirits, except for Orochi and Mahoraga, vanished.
Countless fire foxes crouching under the torii gates leaped down and began to entangle these Special Grade Cursed Spirits.
Suguru Geto's body began to contort in pain, and then... he transformed into a Special Grade Demon Cursed Spirit within a black mist.
"Huh?"
"Looking for me?"
Suguru Geto, wielding the Heavenly Restriction, leaped from the Taotie's mouth, still carrying some of Tamamo-no-Mae's Cursed Energy on him.
It was the residual Cursed Energy from the fireballs that had been scattered earlier.
Suguru Geto had no intention of showing mercy.
The Heavenly Restriction bypassed Tamamo-no-Mae's fox tail and struck Tamamo-no-Mae fiercely.
