As Lily attempted to regain her balance, Lord Kamakura and Daitengu unleashed waves of dark blade energy and spells. She skillfully swung her weapon, deflecting them all. However, she suddenly found herself under the looming shadow of the crimson red demon, Ikusa, as he stomped down from above. With remarkable speed, Lily dodged but stumbled into his tail, which was thick, strong, and more agile than his limbs. Reacting subconsciously, Lily chose to ignore the impending threat of the tail swipe and instead counterattacked with Yasutsuna.

With a resounding impact, her blade sliced across the tail, propelling her back against the formation wall. Although Ikusa’s tail was deeply wounded, it seemed to have little effect on him, instead cleverly reducing the force of his earlier attack.

“Lily!”

Ayaka, Rei, Shimizu, and the other sisters expressed their concern. Despite the heavy blow, Lily was not seriously injured.

By this time, Daitengu had recovered enough to mend his wounds slightly using various treasures. He attacked Lily with a barrage of spells from his fan. As Lily hit the formation wall, Lord Kamakura charged at her before she could recover. She deftly somersaulted away from the spell impacts and simultaneously evaded Lord Kamakura’s assault aimed at her waist. Using her Sakura Parasol to block his blade, Lily descended while pushing up his blade, spinning around to reach his waist and stabbing Yasutsuna in a swift backhand motion.

Yasutsuna sliced into Kamakura’s waist, eliciting a low roar from him. He instantly retaliated with a massive slap, sending Lily flying back into the formation wall, tumbling painfully before bouncing off. In response, Lily enlarged her Sakura Parasol and swung it hard, whipping Lord Kamakura’s head and slamming him into the wall.

Just as she created some distance, Ikusa’s claws came flying towards her. Despite the pain from previous attacks, Lily waited for the right moment and then executed a high kick against the claws, thicker and longer than her blade. The impact from her Celestial Maiden’s slippers was so forceful that it snapped three of Ikusa’s claws. His scream of agony echoed as the pain from the broken claws overwhelmed him.

As Daitengu swung his club, Lily leapt up in response, but she was struck in the leg, having no time to fully evade. The blow sent her rolling in the air, but she used this momentum to launch a counterattack with her sword. She inflicted a cut spanning from Daitengu’s face to his chest, shattering his red mask and revealing half of Daitengu’s disfigured face. The spectators were left in shock by the reveal.

Lily’s bravery was undeniable. In a situation that seemed insurmountable, she fought with the ferocity and grace of a goddess of war. Her ability to counterattack fiercely, even under such pressure, spoke volumes of her courage and skill.

From a distant rooftop, Abe no Seimei watched, overcome with a mix of respect and amazement. He sighed, unable to contain his admiration. “A genius…” he muttered to himself. “Kagami Lily is maintaining focus in combat despite these dire circumstances, as if she was born for the battlefield, destined to embrace the dance of death. She’s a true prodigy!” His words echoed the sentiment of all who witnessed her relentless fighting spirit.

Lord Kamakura, gravely injured, had just managed to stand when Shimizu’s Yakumo struck his heart from behind. Normally, she wouldn’t have been able to penetrate his skin in one strike, but Kamakura’s strength had significantly weakened after losing two souls, and the attack was a surprise. His dark energy, already compromised, began dissipating and was absorbed into Shimizu’s body. “Aaaaaargh!” Lord Kamakura swung wildly in response.

Tomoe Gozen’s massive bone horse added to the chaos, stomping down on his hand, the impact resonating through the battlefield. She then raised her red lightning blade, her voice resolute, “You killed my husband, you must pay! This is what you get!” Her blade was poised threateningly at his head.

Hundreds of miles away, the original Yoritomo felt the abrupt severance of his connection to the clone. “Damn it

²!” he cursed, his frustration evident in the eerie green light that bathed his contorted face.

On the battlefield, the black-armored soldiers and demon commanders were quickly overpowered and defeated. The group, including Sugawara no Michizane, Ayaka, Shizuka Gozen, Taira no Masakado, and Hashihime, surrounded Ikusa and delivered a thorough beating, leaving him no chance to retaliate.

“No, no way. How could this be?” Realizing the tide had turned against him, Daitengu, engulfed in black feathers and smoke, clutched his injured shoulder and made a desperate attempt to escape into the palace. “Lily! We’ll handle this! Don’t let Daitengu escape!” Ayaka shouted, launching her spells at the red demon. Despite his formidable strength, Daitengu was overwhelmed by the combined force of the Archdemons and Heian Dynasty powerhouses.

“Don’t think about running

³!” Refusing to let Daitengu flee, Lily quickly retrieved her Sakura Parasol and pursued him through the air at a speed matching his black-winged flight, determinedly chasing him into the palace.
