Chapter 179: Chapter 128: The Final Battle in Sakura City! (Two in One, Subscription Request)_3 Chapter 179: Chapter 128: The Final Battle in Sakura City! (Two in One, Subscription Request)_3 Out of necessity, Su Ping had no choice but to apply a Wind Protection Spell on himself.
Only then did he continue to fly at high speed.
Several minutes later.
Feeling the danger was gone, the White Bone Giant from the slaughterhouse slowly appeared from somewhere in the open space.
It turned its gaze toward the shattered White Bone Demons and recited a Spell.
Soon, the smashed White Bone Demons were reforged.
Accompanied by the black vines in the slaughterhouse, spewing out massive amounts of livestock bones.
With the power of the Deceit Domain combined with the Evil Technique of the White Bone Giant.
These numerous bloodless and fleshless livestock skeletons also came to life, becoming part of the great army of White Bone Demons!
Their addition made the reforged White Bone Demons look even more bizarre and peculiar, truly a surreal showcase of bone art of the age…
“These creatures… are they undying?”
“Why, time after time, do they come back to life, and in ever greater numbers?”
The officers, seeing this scene from the surveillance screens, felt their mental state deteriorate.
The Generals kept urging their troops to set up defenses.
But their confidence was shaken due to worries about the Demons’ undying nature.
They didn’t know that the attacks were working all along.
Each reconstruction was diminishing a part of the power released by the Spiritual Pearl.
Unless they defeated the White Bone Giant casting the Evil Technique before the power was exhausted,
it would seem as though they had killed countless Demons, only for the enemy to restore them, making them appear undying.
The officers from Huaqi Country, who had already run back to their base, secretly felt fortunate they had fled quickly upon hearing the changes at the frontlines.
They also promptly requested an increase in the level restrictions and importance of the military force,
and prepared for the possibility that conventional weapons might not eliminate these Demons.
In Sakura Country, inside the Imperial Palace at Sakura City.
The Prime Minister, having just arrived with the cabinet ministers, saw the Divine Officers and Priests favored by the Sakura Emperor, standing like frost-stricken eggplants on one side of the great hall, all bowing their heads in silence.
Seeing this, the Prime Minister and his group understood that their faint hope had been dashed.
It turned out that these usually deceitful fellows were utterly useless when it really mattered!
The Sakura Emperor, who had turned fifty and had been ruling for over twenty years, sat solemnly on his throne, his emotions equally unsettled.
Though he had been the Sakura Emperor for over two decades, he still had no experience dealing with such matters… no experience at all!
Especially since those Divine Officers below were so ineffectual, it further fueled his resentment.
But now was not the time to show it.
Suddenly, a servant hurriedly walked down the side corridor and whispered into the Sakura Emperor’s ear.
Upon hearing the news, the Sakura Emperor displayed a look of joy and quickly instructed in a low voice.
The Prime Minister and the Secretary noticed this anomaly but did not inquire immediately, waiting instead.
Sure enough, they soon received a message from their informant through the earpiece.
It was about a Fox-faced Witch seen carrying Kamo Junichiro the Onmyoji from the Kamo Family quickly flying across the city area, heading for the Imperial Palace.
By now, they must have already landed at the main entrance of the Imperial Palace.
The main entrance to the Imperial Palace was currently under martial law,
but that could not stop the curious crowds and various media from the opposite street from gathering.
Among these people were intelligence agents from other forces, who did not care much for the authority of the Sakura Emperor.
They initially wondered why there was such a commotion at the palace so late at night?
Though there were flames outside the city, Sakura City was too large; the blasts and flames of the suburbs simply did not affect those living in this urban area.
Even as messages were sent out, they remained within circles of skepticism and were not spreading quickly enough to arouse significant concern.
However, as they saw a Fox-faced Witch carrying an Onmyoji swiftly descend from the sky,
and then abruptly stop a couple of meters above the ground,
even the most composed onlookers cried out in surprise at that moment!
“I am Kamo Junichiro, the true Onmyoji of the Kamo Family!”
“Quick, go inform His Majesty that I have come as the envoy of the gods seeking an audience!”
Kamo Junichiro also regained his composure during that brief flight and realized that his real opportunity was about to come!
Upon landing and finding the Fox-faced Witch had released him, he promptly stepped forward confidently, arms outstretched, declaring his identity.
The guards at the gate stirred, and the official in charge was about to report and surround these two illegal intruders,
when they received orders from the Palace.
After confirming Kamo Junichiro’s identity,
they agreed to allow the meeting.
Besides the fact that the combination of an Onmyoji and a Fox-faced Witch fit Sakura Country’s traditional view of mystique,
their consent was also influenced by the air defense department providing detailed data to deflect blame, which revealed that the maneuverability of the Fox-faced Witch in the air was exceptionally alarming, being able to carry a person and fly low like a small drone, and even instantaneously disappear and reappear at times.
Given Sakura City’s current air defense capabilities,
it would be difficult to prevent such an Alien from assaulting the Palace.
So, considering that they could have forced their way in but instead chose to land at the main entrance,
everyone tended to lean towards the belief that these newcomers probably bore no ill will and decided to invite them in to see what they wanted.
