"Demonic Fox Grand Illusion!"
Tamamo-no-Mae was no delicate flower. To recover her Nine-Tailed form, she had devoured no fewer than ten thousand people.
Is that a small number?
Not at all.
One must remember, Tamamo-no-Mae was discerning. The ones she favored were always beautiful young maidens. Tens of thousands of beautiful young maidens being devoured was a tremendous loss for all youngsters across the world.
And the result of such an immense loss was that Tamamo-no-Mae had become a mature, great *Demon*!
"*Howl!*"
Though there were clearly no foxes around, fox cries echoed from all directions.
Heaven and earth warped! The sky inverted! The ground beneath their feet began to swell, the land that had been violently flattened now transformed into towering green mountains.
Mo Shuying frowned. His passive ability still hadn't reacted, but could she truly reshape heaven and earth directly? There were only two possibilities now: one, Tamamo-no-Mae truly possessed such power, or the other…
…that the intensity of this Illusion Technique had surpassed the limit his passive ability could dispel!
"*Howl!*"
Another chorus of fox cries rang out. Mo Shuying looked up and saw Kiichi Hōgen, clutching Ashiya Doman, also dodging the rising mountains and shifting sky.
It seemed they were affected too.
With a thought, the Lapis Lazuli Flame Armor appeared on Mo Shuying's body, and gauntlets materialized on his fists. He was ready for battle.
"*Roar!*"
Tamamo-no-Mae tilted her head back and let out a clear fox cry. The four fox tails behind her rapidly extended and grew, like four pillars reaching the sky!
The fox tails swiftly smashed down towards Mo Shuying. The four side-by-side tails completely blotted out the sky, leaving no gaps whatsoever.
Mo Shuying's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Tamamo-no-Mae. He still had Flash, but he was hesitant, fearing that if he was truly caught in an illusion, Flash would be futile.
And hesitation leads to defeat!
"*Rumble!*"
The four fox tails struck consecutively, causing the great green mountain to collapse, sending rocks flying.
Tamamo-no-Mae swayed her tails, a look of surprise on her face, for she could feel that her tails had been caught.
Beneath the fox tails, Mo Shuying held up one massive fox tail with a single hand. The incredibly imposing fox tail didn't possess as much mass upon contact as it appeared.
Simply put.
Though these fox tails were indeed very heavy and hard, that was only in comparison to the ground. Mo Shuying was like a diamond standing on the earth. While the earth was shattered, this diamond remained completely unharmed.
Mo Shuying felt he was being played with. He tightened his grip on the fox tail, and a surge of ice and fire power spread. These dispersing energies could easily defeat some low-level Demons, but upon touching the fox tail, not only did they fail to harm it in the slightest, they instead made the long fur on the fox tail even more lustrous.
"Hmm?"
Mo Shuying was slightly startled, but then Tamamo-no-Mae's voice rang in his ear.
"Your body is surprisingly tough, but you wish to harm this one with the power of fire? Then this one tells you, that is impossible. This one possesses the Divinity of the Sun God; how could mere flames harm this one?"
Before her words finished! The already golden fox tail suddenly burst into flames!
The golden tail turned into a tail of fire, and the intensity of the flames was indeed considerable, capable of melting even the rocks beneath Mo Shuying's feet.
Tamamo-no-Mae thought this time she would surely eliminate Mo Shuying, but the next second!
"*Pfft!*"
"*Ah!*"
A massive sword light flashed, and the fox tail caught by Mo Shuying snapped off!
"*Boom!*"
A colossal flaming skeleton, wielding the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, severed the fox tail. Tamamo-no-Mae's expression instantly changed when she saw the sharp sword in the flaming skeleton's hand!
However, before Tamamo-no-Mae could react!
"*Whoosh!*"
Tamamo-no-Mae's vision blurred, and Mo Shuying had already appeared before her.
Even though that colossal skeleton was still in the distance, entangled with the remaining three fox tails, Mo Shuying's true body had already reached her!
"You!"
"*Boom!*"
Mo Shuying unleashed a wild punch that slammed down! It punched through Tamamo-no-Mae and then struck the ground beneath her feet!
"*Boom!*"
The earth trembled, and the green mountain shattered!
A crack appeared diagonally from the mountainside, and the green mountain slid down!
"It's fake again!"
Mo Shuying stood up and looked at his fist. Two golden hairs were blown away by the wind.
But after defeating this fake Tamamo-no-Mae, the surrounding scenery began to return to normal. The ground sank back into place, and the sky was no longer inverted.
However, there was nothing left. Kiichi Hōgen, Ashiya Doman, and Tamamo-no-Mae had all vanished. Given Kiichi Hōgen's speed, she could have gone anywhere.
"This is truly one wave after another. I barely managed to deal with Ashiya Doman, and then Tamamo-no-Mae pops up. The crucial question is, was that even an Illusion Technique just now?"
It felt too real. Mo Shuying couldn't be sure if he was still under an Illusion Technique. If it truly was an Illusion Technique, how was he supposed to break it?
He had not only Mundo's passive ability but also incredibly strong mental fortitude.
While not comparable to Merlin, it was certainly stronger than most Casters.
If even that couldn't resist it, then it would be a huge problem.
Moreover, that was clearly not Tamamo-no-Mae's strongest state. She was the incarnation of a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. She only had four tails right now. Aside from the Tamamo Cat tail, she would definitely try to restore her other four tails.
If Tamamo-no-Mae truly managed to grow eight tails, he believed she wouldn't be weaker than Goetia. Just as she said, she possessed the Divinity of a sun god. This wasn't nonsense; a true Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was stronger than most sun gods.
"I remember Tamamo-no-Mae is afraid of Archers?"
Mo Shuying stroked his chin, recalling something. Tamamo-no-Mae seemed to be weak against Archers, being countered by them.
"So, is there an Archer who isn't afraid of Tamamo-no-Mae's Illusion Technique?"
Frowning, Mo Shuying turned and flew into the sky. The massive flaming skeleton dissipated, leaving behind a vast expanse of ruins that had turned to dust and sand.
This day was destined to be another unforgettable one for the people of Nihon.
Their Sacrificial Latrine had been flattened. They had even witnessed their revered deity, Orochi, "descend" and destroy everything!
And that flaming skeleton god! Wielding a Divine Construct that looked like Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi! Thinking about it like that! That enraged flaming skeleton giant was very likely the legendary Amaterasu Ōmikami!
In an instant, the news of Amaterasu Ōmikami's rage and the destruction of the Sacrificial Latrine spread throughout Nihon. There were pictures and proof; the highly concentrated magical flames of the skeleton were visible to ordinary people and could even be recorded by devices.
Thus, the story of Amaterasu Ōmikami descending to slay Demons and restore purity to Nihon spread like wildfire.
People who had suffered greatly from Demons began to pray, hoping for Amaterasu Ōmikami to descend and slay the Demons.
Soon, a group of believers in Amaterasu Ōmikami quickly gathered, forming a civilian organization that opposed the official Demon forces.
When Mo Shuying heard about this, his jaw dropped.
"Nihon people sure know how to have fun."
