The three of Enmado Rokuro were really worried about Seigen Amawaka and the others, so they quickly changed into hunting clothes and brought enough spirit talismans.
The situation was urgent this time, so it was naturally impossible to slowly rush to Kyoto. So Drake took out his new shikigami.
Fafnir was also one of the four great elemental spirits, and he couldn't always be used as a means of transportation.
And Adashino Benio's shikigami Kinako gave Drake inspiration. That shikigami could possess various tools, which was very useful.
Drake didn't expect to directly create a shikigami like Kinako, which had even given birth to its own soul, equivalent to an independent life. It was enough as long as it could act as a mount.
But he didn't expect that the final result would exceed Drake's expectations.
Bird-type shikigami - Chongming, a special shikigami born from Drake's magic power.
What surprised Drake was that Chongming was a rational existence, unlike the paper dolls that Drake had created before, which were inanimate objects... although it still seemed a little unintelligent.
Chongming, who was born as a mount, had no self-awareness at all, and immediately competed with Fafnir for the position of Drake's first servant. Then, as expected, it was easily suppressed by Fafnir, and finally became Fafnir's lackey.
Drake was very strange. Why would a bird be born from his magic power, and such an indescribable bird?
Although its intelligence was a little worrying, Chongming was still very qualified as a mount.
In just five or six minutes, Chongming carried the group from Tokyo to Kyoto. The few clearly saw the Heavenly Pillar towering among the mountains.
Before Chongming could get close, the Heavenly Pillar reacted. The crystal-like leaves on the tree flew out, shooting at Chongming like flying knives.
Chongming was indeed born as a mount, and it was true that it couldn't beat Fafnir, but that didn't mean that Chongming was weak.
Chongming, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, flapped its wings, letting out a cry.
All the crystal-like leaves that flew over burned out of thin air, like flowers of flame blooming. The closer the leaves got to Chongming, the faster they burned, and they were all burned to nothing before touching its body.
Drake patted Chongming's back, signaling it not to continue forward, turning back, saying, "It seems that Yuto Ijika has already discovered us. I'll hold him back. You take the opportunity to rescue the Twelve Guardians."
Enmado Rokuro stood up, saying, "No, we must personally defeat Yuto...!"
Drake said, "I understand your feelings, but you also have to consider the feelings of the people around you."
Enmado Rokuro was stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at Mayura Otomi on the side.
Although Mayura Otomi didn't show anything, Enmado Rokuro could also feel her concern for Seigen Amawaka.
Not to mention Mayura Otomi, Enmado Rokuro himself was also worried about his master, whose life and death were unknown.
Biting his teeth, Enmado Rokuro said, "I understand!"
Drake said, "Later, you will enter Magano from under the tree. You should be able to find the Twelve Guardians along the roots.
According to my guess, although they fell into a trap, they shouldn't have lost their lives. But even if you rescue them, they won't be able to participate in the battle after having their cursed power drained.
You take them away directly, and I'll take care of the rest!"
Enmado Rokuro and Adashino Benio were still a little unwilling. They had always believed that defeating Yuto Ijika was their destiny and obligation.
Drake didn't give the two a chance to think more, letting Chongming land on the ground.
The ground was already covered with Impurities. Chongming spewed out flames, directly clearing the ground, and then put down Enmado Rokuro and the three.
Then Chongming flew into the sky again, directly rushing into the canopy of the Heavenly Pillar.
Flexibly dodging the branches of the Heavenly Pillar, Chongming brought Drake to the core position.
Having completed its mission, Chongming turned into a red paper bird and returned to Drake's hand, while Drake landed from the sky on the platform with the Taijitu pattern drawn on it.
Yuto Ijika turned around to look at Drake, smiling, saying, "It's you! I thought Rokuro-kun would come to find me!"
Drake said coldly, "Enmado has other things to do. Only I, this idle person, can take action."
Drake was deliberately not letting Enmado Rokuro fight Yuto Ijika.
Abe no Seimei's true body had always been inside the Heavenly Pillar, but he needed the power of the Star Destroyer King and Adashino Benio's Yang power to awaken.
Moreover, the Star Destroyer King was also an indispensable tool in Abe no Seimei's plan.
Mikage had contacted him, and the main purpose was to have him bring Enmado Rokuro to Kyoto.
Although Drake wasn't afraid of Abe no Seimei's resurrection, who liked to add trouble to themselves?
But Drake knew that even if he didn't bring Enmado Rokuro, others would bring him. Abe no Seimei wouldn't allow accidents to happen. Mikage wasn't necessarily in Kyoto now.
So Drake simply kept Enmado Rokuro under his nose, and then diverted him away during the battle.
Yuto Ijika shook his head, saying, "Mr. Drake, you are indeed terribly strong, but I am completely different from before now.
Whether it's the power of the Basara representing Yin, or the cursed power of the Twelve Guardians representing Yang, I have already obtained even the cursed power of that great exorcist Abe no Seimei.
Perfect. Hand over your power from other worlds too! That way, I can become an existence that surpasses the Star Destroyer King."
Saying this, glowing runes began to spread on his body. Yuto Ijika turned into an energy body before Drake's eyes.
The arm that he had lost because of restraining Drake had also grown back, and amazing cursed power surged out.
Drake looked at Yuto Ijika, who was already inhuman, and heard a lot of things from his words.
It seemed that Yuto Ijika had obtained a lot of information from Abe no Seimei, not only knowing about the existence of the Star Destroyer King, but also knowing Drake's identity.
Moreover, the current Yuto Ijika was indeed worth Drake taking a little seriously.
Having gathered the two highest quality powers of Yin and Yang, Yuto Ijika could be called a pseudo-Star Destroyer King.
Moreover, unlike the Star Destroyer King, who only existed as a tool, Yuto Ijika's power was used for battle.
"Dragon King Martial Body!"
Without saying a word, Drake activated his battle state.
The two arms crossed and collided, and even the branches of the Heavenly Pillar shook from the impact.
Yuto Ijika revealed a surprised look. He didn't expect that his power, which had broken through the limit, still couldn't suppress Drake.
The two each took a step back, and then simultaneously waved their fists at each other.
The two's fists collided three times in a row before the impact separated the two. But Yuto Ijika's arm had already been deformed, and his five fingers were bent at strange angles.
Drake didn't use force to overwhelm him. It was the suppression of skills that caused this scene. When punching, Drake used the skill of Cicada's Cry, and the impact directly destroyed the internal structure of Yuto Ijika's arm.
Yuto Ijika looked at his deformed arm, luxuriously inputting a large amount of cursed power to restore it to its original state.
"Let's continue!" Yuto Ijika revealed a twisted smile, saying this.
