Chapter 83: Blood Sacrifice!
Kyoto.
The battle to breach the high wall has been going on for dozens of days.
During these several dozen days.
Countless wounded were evacuated, and after a brief period of treatment, those with superpowers and soldiers who were able to continue fighting returned to the battlefield.
War not only tests the strength of forces, but also the mentality and character of each individual.
The two sides are compared.
The trained superhumans and soldiers under the royal family are much more disciplined than the superhumans of the Blissful Truth Cult.
Even though they were physically exhausted, their overall discipline remained intact.
Meanwhile, the superpowered individuals of the Blissful Truth Cult have become chaotic, with some being delirious and even accidentally attacking their own camp with ranged attacks.
The bombing killed many believers, which is utterly ridiculous.
This is like kicking a soccer ball into your own goal – utterly ridiculous.
However, because the believers, who served as human shields, drank diluted divine blood to activate their powers, they worked tirelessly without sleep and knew nothing of fatigue.
Like zombies, they continued to silently advance towards the high wall.
Therefore, although the superhumans and soldiers under the royal family have extremely high combat skills.
The battlefield remains fiercely contested, with no clear-cut outcome.
And this land...
The blood on the ground was incredibly viscous, flowing like a stream, seemingly traceable, bubbling and emitting a strong, pungent stench.
At this moment, it stands atop the high wall.
Himeko observed the general course of the battlefield and then conducted an overall analysis based on the intelligence that had been relayed.
Tamamo-no-Mae was watching silently from behind her.
Ryuko Shrine has joined the battle.
Below, numerous fox-eared shrine maidens emerged, each possessing strength comparable to a C-rank superhuman.
Tamamo-no-Mae closed her eyes slightly, her pink and white fox ears twitching from time to time. Her spiritual power spread throughout the battlefield, gathering intelligence while also protecting the safety of the fox-eared priestesses.
Then, she slowly opened her eyes, and a fleeting glimmer of light flashed in her purple eyes.
She pursed her pink lips slightly and spoke softly.
"The situation is developing in our favor."
"At this rate, we can suppress the Blissful Truth Sect in less than a month, and finish it off within three months."
Fox spirits and witches can both heal and fight, and they are useful after joining the battlefield.
The casualty rate is much better than before.
The people brought by Kamishiro Himeko were already on par with Gokuraku Shinryokyo.
This was the result of Kamishiro Himeko's scheme.
With the addition of the Ryuko Shrine, they should be able to suppress the Gokuraku Shinrikyo.
but……
"From the current perspective, it is indeed correct."
"However, why hasn't the leader of the Blissful Truth Cult made a move yet?"
"What else does he want?"
"We cannot be careless."
A hint of fatigue was visible between Kamishiro Himeko's willow-leaf eyebrows.
Even without personally engaging in combat, commanding everything on the battlefield is still quite physically demanding.
The reason why neither she nor Tamamo-no-Mae fought personally was...
This is because they have to keep a close eye on the leader of the Blissful Truth Cult at all times.
That which stands in the center behind the Pure Land of Truth, remaining there...
———Blood Sedan Chair
Himeko could sense that very familiar aura; Naraku Kamishiro was among them.
Now, the royal family is gradually gaining the upper hand.
However, Naraku Kamishiro still did not appear on the battlefield. She did not believe that the siege that the enemy had planned for so long was just this.
So, what exactly is their conspiracy, or what are they waiting for?
Princess Kamishiro's pure white eyes shone brightly, as if she wanted to see through the curtain of the blood-stained sedan chair and understand what Naraku Kamishiro was thinking.
This man betrayed the royal family and tarnished its glory!
A flash of anger appeared in her eyes.
Then she looked at the wounded coming and going, and the soldiers and superhumans who died on the battlefield.
A sense of bewilderment and pain arose within me.
But soon she took a deep breath, and her anger and hesitation dissipated, replaced by a look of determination.
Himeko's fist slowly clenched.
She needs more power.
The royal family is now weak, and she needs great power to revitalize it, restore order to the land, and free humanity from its constant infighting.
Eliminate all the strange things!
Unfortunately, she still has a long way to go to reach A-level.
Kamishiro Himeko still harbored a lingering sense of unease.
My father was seriously injured, and my grandfather was old.
The royal family urgently needs a new A-level figure to rise to prominence.
Now the fate of the royal family rests entirely on her shoulders, a burden far too heavy for anyone to share.
She shook her head.
Clear your mind of all thoughts and focus on the present moment.
Kamishiro Himeko continued to keep a close eye on every move on the battlefield.
Suddenly, a look of surprise flashed in her pure white eyes, as if she had noticed something.
She parted her lips slightly and spoke.
"King of Fasting".
"Look at the bloodstains on the ground, aren't they flowing?"
"That doesn't seem to be normal flow, but rather..."
"—Following a certain trajectory."
Kamishiro Himeko thought that her fatigue had affected her eyes.
But when she used her pure white eyes, and her pupils glowed with tiny points of fluorescence, it proved that she had not misjudged.
Upon hearing Kamishiro Himeko's words, Tamamo-no-Mae immediately closed her eyes and used her spiritual power to sense the ground.
Furthermore, he established a mental link with a fox-eared priestess who was near a pool of blood and sent her a message.
"noob."
"Go and wipe away the bloodstains in the middle."
In the battlefield, a white-haired fox-eared witch launched an attack on the bloodstains, blasting open a crater.
But a strange scene happened.
The bloodstains did not change course; instead, they filled the pit and continued flowing in the original direction.
Tamamo-no-Mae and Kamishiro-hime immediately looked at each other, their expressions changing.
"This is a blood sacrifice!"
Tamamo-no-Mae was the first to raise a question.
"why?"
"The blood sacrifice wasn't drawn towards us, but rather beneath the feet of the Blissful Truth Cult itself. Therefore, wouldn't those affected by the blood sacrifice be..."
