It’s Impossible that My Evil Overlord is So Cute - Chapter 87

Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Flowers, Girls, and the Guardian Shield (15)

Keikain Haruka covered her head with one hand and stared at the enemy . Since her spells and shikigami could do no use, then “taijutsu”[1] had become her only choice . She threw her spell book at the dark fog and drew out a few wet talismans, pasting them on her shoes and fists .

The spell book was just a hardcover book without a casting spell on it . Naturally, the dark fog parted away for it easily . Seizing this opportunity, Keikain Haruka had been prepared . The talismans increased her speed so that she could jump into the air and fly towards the dark fog at a high speed .

She tramped down the ground under her right foot and stuck her foot in it, and her whole body was leaning forwards due to inertia . Her fist mercilessly punched on the dark fog’s face, blowing it away in the air .

“Very good . My fist did hit something . ”

Keikain Haruka was afraid that the dark fog wouldn’t have a real body . Her talismans could cause some damages, but it would be better if her taijutsu could harm it too .

She didn’t let the enemy have any time to recover itself . On the contrary, she drew her right foot out from the crushed ground and ran towards the dark fog at full speed . Her fists punched at the dark fog’s body at a high frequency, hitting it as if it was just a sandbag .

However, Keikain Haruka knew that she didn’t have the upper hand . The dark fog still left some leeway .

Her taijutsu was a combination of “eight extremes boxing” and “sextuple shadow boxing” . Some onmyoji even combined it with their understanding about mystic arts when they learned it . It wasn’t as strong as “eight extremes boxing”, and not as nimble as “sextuple shadow boxing”, but taijutsu was a better fit for onmyoji .

However, Keikain Haruka was still an eighteen-year-old girl . If she couldn’t finish the combat quickly, her physical strength would be exhausted before long and the enemy would be able to catch the chance to seriously harm her .

Keikain Haruka wouldn’t sit passively for her end . Her taijutsu had let her understand her enemy’s body structure . It was like a big centipede that was five metres long, had a hard shell and…

“Cough…”

The girl quickly stepped back to dodge the dark fog’s tail attack . She took three steps back, barely escaping from its attack . After that, she knelt down on one knee and spat blood .

“No . It’s poisonous…”

Perhaps the dark fog wasn’t for covering the enemy’s true face but simply its poison gas to deal with close combat . Because it didn’t have four limbs, close combat was its disadvantage .

Keikain Haruka had guessed out its true identity . It was a member of “Night Parade of One Hundred Demons”, it was a yokai called “oomukade”, a demon that looked like a giant centipede .

It was said that the biggest oomukade could even covered a mountain with its body . In Japanese mythology, oomukade was tsuchigumo’s familiar, and it also had a great spell defence ability like the tsuchigumo[2] . In addition to its poison gas and hard shell, it was a really tough enemy for Keikain Haruka .

“Keikain!” Seeing that Keikain was spitting blood, Chihaya felt worried .

“No problem . I can keep fighting!”

Keikain Haruka tremblingly stood up and smiled, “Run, Miyama Senpai… After you leave, I have a way to escape . ”

She was lying . Due to her past experience, Miyama Chihaya was sensitive to lies . She had noticed it . Probably Keikain Haruka, the girl who was even a year younger than her, had prepared to fight to her death .

“Why? Why do you have to go this far for me?” Chihaya didn’t understand .

“…”

Keikain Haruka didn’t answer her . She silently drew out a string of buddha beads and wrapped it around her hand .

“The peerless beauty that was extolled as both a tennyo and an oni, the favorite daughter of the Demon Lord of the Fourth Heaven, listen to my words . I have four souls, Naohi, Aramitama, Nigimitama, Kushimitama . Follow the oratio of Amaterasu-ōmikami, I offer up my four souls . Therefore, I summon you, come to the world as the shining myōjin . Your name is: Suzuka Gozen!”

As the girl chanted, three golden beads on the string of buddha beads turned into glassy beads . The golden lights which were inside them flew into the air and formed three light swords in the front of the girl .

The girl’s black hair also turned to snow white, and her eyes had become hollow, as if her consciousness had vanished . This was Keikain Haruka’s last secret skill: God Descending . She sacrificed her four souls to summon the god “Suzuka Gozen” .

At this moment, while the god was going to descend, a black sword-shaped crack suddenly appeared and cut through the oomukade’s body .

It wasn’t something like a sword skill, but a phenomenon of spatial fracturing . For some reason, at the moment the sword-shape appeared, the god “Suzuka Gozen” suddenly gave up on seizing Keikain Haruka’s body and immediately disappeared, as if it was a mouse who had just seen a cat .

The secret skill “God Descending” naturally stopped after the god disappeared .

Keikain Haruka toppled down to the ground, gazing at the oomukade in amazement . Because the black sword-shaped crack had cracked space, the spatiotemporal turbulence confined the oomukade in the air . It couldn’t even move any of its tentacles .

The next moment, a man’s voice came from the black, sword-shaped crack .

“Oh, no! I feel that I had cut into something . Moli, is the space coordinate you gave me right?”
