Demonic clouds rolled overhead, plunging heaven and earth into darkness.
Sesshomaru charged ahead and plunged straight into the Panther Devas’ formation.
A light whip shot from his fingertips and lashed toward them in a storm of blows.
“Sesshomaru!” Toran threw both arms outward, instantly freezing the moisture in the air into countless ice crystals.
Ice magic came to her as naturally as breathing, and ice lances, arrows, and prisons surged toward Sesshomaru in overlapping waves.
“Toran, our conflict ends today.” Sesshomaru’s expression remained cold as his right hand swept the light whip sideways.
Ice lances shattered in its path, arrows burst apart, and prisons were torn to pieces before they could close.
Shards of ice scattered like snow, exploding into a white cloud of freezing mist between them.
“It certainly does end today!” “This will be the burial ground of your Dog Demon Tribe!” Shuran growled as lightning coiled around his body.
A sphere of electricity gathered in his palm like a falling star before blasting toward Sesshomaru’s back.
At the same time, Karan spat out a blazing crimson fireball.
It dragged a fiery tail behind it and sealed Sesshomaru’s escape route.
Lightning intertwined with fire as ice collided with the whip.
Sesshomaru spun, and the light whip followed his motion, knocking the lightning sphere aside, extinguishing the flames, then continuing toward Toran’s face without losing momentum.
Toran gritted her teeth and formed an ice shield.
The whip struck, spraying shards everywhere and forcing her several steps backward as the hand gripping the shield went numb.
“Toran-neesan, another puppy is coming!” Shunran watched the silver-haired figure in red charge from the distance, only to slow down as he approached.
“Toran-neesan, should I deal with him?” Her illusions offered little against Sesshomaru.
She could only provide support and interfere slightly with his judgment.
If leaving the formation did not risk giving Sesshomaru a chance to kill her alone, Shunran would have preferred to join the battle between the two armies, where her powers were best suited to the large-scale slaughter.
Toran watched an enormous mass of ice and stone temporarily force Sesshomaru back, then flung one arm upward.
The iceberg exploded, launching countless razor-sharp blades of ice toward him like a torrential downpour.
Their freezing light wove an airtight net of death across the sky.
“Do not go!” Sesshomaru broke free of the ice blades and charged toward them again the very next instant.
Toran kept her eyes on him as she spoke rapidly.
“We know nothing about that other puppy.
If you move too far away, we will not be able to protect you!” Sesshomaru was even more aggressive than usual today, placing Toran under far greater pressure.
This was the worst possible time to grow careless.
Shunran nodded in understanding.
She flickered aside as countless flower petals appeared around her, filling the air with fragrance.
This was her illusion technique—the Dreamlike Flower Dance.
Anyone caught within it would sink into powerful hallucinations, ranging from unconsciousness to complete mental collapse.
Shunran waved one slender hand, sending the blizzard of petals toward her opponent.
“Be a good puppy and go to sleep—” Azure flames erupted from Inuyasha and formed a cloak-like garment around his body.
The instant the petals touched the fire, they burned like scraps of paper and became ash.
Inuyasha stopped and looked between Sesshomaru and the Panther Devas.
He grinned as Shunran’s suddenly changing expression reflected in his eyes.
“That will not work on me, kitty.” ‘What kind of fire is that?’ With her greatest weapon neutralized, Shunran felt deeply frustrated.
She gritted her teeth and remained silent.
The expressions of Toran and the others darkened.
They understood that the dog demons now possessed another powerful warrior besides Sesshomaru.
Inuyasha was in no hurry to attack.
As a transmigrator who loved anime, he watched with great interest as his vanguard general, Sesshomaru, battled the Panther Devas.
Yes.
In Inuyasha’s mind, Sesshomaru was already the first Double-Flower Red Pole(a high-level military commander) of his future Demon Court.
Did Sesshomaru himself agree?
That did not matter.
After all, Inuyasha enjoyed reading not only the Spring and Autumn Annals, but also The Fistalects.
A single half-step from The Fistalects could rule everything beneath heaven.
He refused to believe it could not straighten out one stubborn demon.
Seeing Inuyasha watching from the side made the Panther Devas even more cautious.
Their defense became as tight as a turtle’s shell.
Sesshomaru was already struggling to find an opening.
When he saw the younger mutt wearing an infuriating expression that plainly said he would take over if Sesshomaru failed, he ground his teeth.
He snorted coldly.
His golden eyes narrowed as his body suddenly expanded beneath the surge of demonic energy.
His pale robes tore apart, and silver-white fur cascaded outward like a waterfall.
Sesshomaru revealed his true demon form, becoming a colossal dog.
His four paws stood upon the air, his eyes turned bloodred, and his roar shook the surrounding mountains.
His human form emphasized agility, while his true demon form emphasized power.
This charge was unstoppable.
Rumble—!
The layers of ice walls Toran had erected were like paper before the giant dog, shattering the instant he touched them.
Sesshomaru burst from the cloud of ice, carrying a foul gale as he charged straight toward the center of their formation.
A slightly smaller giant beast met him head-on.
Shuran had transformed into a massive panther, lightning wrapped around his body and claws as he collided with Sesshomaru.
The two colossal beasts crashed together, and a shock wave exploded outward.
Feeling his skull crack and his neck nearly snap, Shuran released a low whine.
“Toran-neesan, hurry!” Toran and Karan attacked from the left and right at the next instant.
Ice and fire intertwined, erupting violently as frost and flame collided in midair.
Sesshomaru tore open Shuran’s flesh with his Poison Claws, only for Toran’s ice lance to pin one foreleg in place.
Karan seized the opening and drove a flaming fist into his side.
Even Sesshomaru’s powerful demon body suffered from the combined attack.
He grunted as scorch marks and chips of ice stained his silver-white fur.
Amid the chaos, Inuyasha silently skirted the battlefield.
Different opponents required different tactics, and with Sesshomaru drawing every attack, Inuyasha used the opening to circle around to Shunran’s side.
Shunran was entirely focused on supporting Toran.
Petals danced around her as she tried to use her illusions to disrupt Sesshomaru’s judgment.
She did not even have time to turn before a warm claw reached from behind, its five fingers closing around her slender throat like iron pincers.
“—?!” Shunran’s cry had barely reached her throat before the hand crushed it back down.
Her body was lifted off the ground, and the instant she tried to exert force through her limbs, Inuyasha mercilessly broke all four of them.
The sudden cracks of shattering bones rang across the battlefield like thunder.
“You bastard dog demon!
Put Shunran down!” Toran spun around at the sight, killing intent boiling in her furious eyes.
“Let her go?
I cannot do that.” “How could I bear to release such an adorable little kitty?” Inuyasha spoke with a lazy smile.
His gaze passed over Shunran’s pain-twisted face and settled on Sesshomaru, who had countered the three panthers attacking him amid the collision of ice and fire.
“You are not doing very well either, Sesshomaru.
Three little cats have already left you in such a mess.” The corner of Sesshomaru’s eye twitched when he saw the miserable Shunran in Inuyasha’s grasp.
With even fiercer claws and fangs, he swatted the distracted Shuran aside, leaving him unable to rise.
Two Panther Devas had been incapacitated in an instant, causing Toran and Karan’s expressions to change.
Worse still, the disappearance of Panther auras in great numbers from the distant battlefield sent Toran’s heart sinking into the abyss.
