The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

Faced with the evil projection before him, the shikigami in Aragaki Yu's Yin-Yang Domain appeared one after another.

The little tengu hovered above the cave, its wings flapping, while the wind cave spun rapidly in its palm. "Wings, summon the storm!"

Azure mist swept down, carrying rubble, like whistling stone arrows, attacking the phantom of the Yamata no Orochi.

However, the Yamata no Orochi merely turned one of its heads, its pupils narrowing as it faced the incoming stone arrows. All the stone arrows turned to dust in mid-air, and the storm even shifted direction, blowing the little tengu on the cave ceiling erratically.

The phantom of the Yamata no Orochi coiled above the stone statue, its eight heads emitting black light and staring menacingly at the little creatures before it.

"Yuki-onna, Senhime, seal their movements!"

As soon as Aragaki Yu finished speaking, countless water rings and ice crystals exploded at the seven-inch mark of the giant serpent's phantom.

With a flick of her fingertips, the Snow Woman conjured several ice cages that rose from the ground, imprisoning the two nearest snake heads within the icy depths.

Seeing this, Yaodao-hime, without hesitation, used the hurricane created by the little tengu to leap high into the air and slash at the frozen snake head with her blade.

Upon seeing this, the Yamata no Orochi roared and lunged at the Demon Sword Princess with its remaining heads.

Despite the Orochi's obstruction, Yoto Hime showed no sign of retreating, gripping her demonic sword tightly as she slashed at the frozen serpent's head.

The next moment, the paper-cutting of the paper dance rustled in the wind, and countless paper cranes wrapped around the illusory snake's body, turning into chains that tightly bound the snake's head that was attacking the Demon Sword Princess.

Amidst the piercing roar of the Yamata no Orochi, its eight tails lashed out viciously at the Demon Blade Princess.

However, this move was stopped by Hotaru and Senhime, who had anticipated it.

In an instant, the enormous dandelion and seashell halberd clashed with the snake tail in mid-air, producing a series of ear-piercing collision sounds.

Just as the Demon Sword Princess's blade touched the snake's head, a piercing sound of snake scales rubbing together rang out. The frozen snake's head suddenly broke free of the ice shards, and the poisonous mist spewed from its mouth instantly corroded the rock wall, creating honeycomb-like holes.

The Demon Blade Princess leaped towards the cave ceiling, her toes barely touching the ground, the poisonous mist scorching her ears. She plunged her demon blade into a crevice, using the momentum to swirl away, when she caught a glimpse of a snake's body tightly coiled around an ice pillar, shattering the ice crystals. The eerie green venom seeping from beneath its scales meandered along the rock face, forming a deadly spiderweb.

"so close……"

"The time of the moon tide has arrived, now!"

At the same time, Princess Kaguya gently plucked the strings of her zither, and a full moon projection appeared at the top of the cave, with countless arrow bamboos growing in abundance, the soft moonlight mixed with a chilling and deadly aura.

Taking advantage of the moment when the firefly grass smashed away the snake tail that was attacking her, Senhime plunged the sea shell halberd in her hand into the ground. The underground water veins gushed out in response and, guided by the thousands of paper cranes flying everywhere, transformed into chains, tightly binding the illusory tail to the stone pillar.

Then, the arrows transformed from the bamboo instantly struck the body of the Yamata no Orochi.

In pain, the phantom of Yamata no Orochi let out a deafening roar, and all its heads opened their mouths at the same time, swallowing the black mist in the cave and condensing it into a giant venomous ball.

"Oh no, it's the world-destroying breath!"

The sharp-eyed Yuki-onna instantly recognized the threat posed by Yamata no Orochi. Although this was only an attack from a projection of Yamata no Orochi, far less than one percent of its true power, it was still extremely deadly for them in this narrow underground cave.

This is especially true for Onmyoji who are physically incapable.

"Protect the Onmyoji!"

Before the Snow Woman finished speaking, several ice walls had already been erected between Aragaki Yu and Orochi. The paper cranes and feathers that were originally flying in the sky were transformed into an impenetrable shield under the control of Paper Dance and Little Tengu, blocking Aragaki Yu's way.

Countless green bamboos, nurtured by the combined efforts of Firefly Grass and Princess Kaguya, sprang up from the ground, completely surrounding Aragaki Yuu.

In the blink of an eye, the attack from the illusory image of Orochi seemed to have already enveloped Aragaki Yuu.

The next second, accompanied by a thunderous roar that shook the earth, the air in the entire cave seemed to be sucked out in an instant. A strong sense of suffocation, along with black light, burst from the mouth of the Yamata no Orochi's head. Even Aragaki Yu, who was being guarded tightly, changed his expression.

Chapter 727 Flood

As he watched the layers of protective gear in front of him dissolve, Yuu Aragaki knew that this stalemate was not a good solution.

"Yuki-onna, Kami-mai, Yoto-hime, and Kotengu, hold it off!"

"Yes, Onmyoji (Master)!"

Before the words were even finished, countless ice crystals, along with several paper chains, swept over the snake's head.

"Shut up!"

Using the ice wall as cover, Yaodao-hime leaped high into the air, dodging the attack of Yamata no Orochi while viciously slashing at the serpent's head with her demon sword.

Sparks flew as the snake scales clashed with the demonic sword. One of the Yamata no Orochi's heads shook its head in pain and instinctively shut its mouth, interrupting its attack.

At the same time, it slammed the Demon Blade Princess hard against the rock wall. At the critical moment, the Paper Dancer's paper spirit transformed into a cushion to catch her, while the Snow Woman took the opportunity to inject extreme cold power into the ice shards wrapped around the snake's body, and spiderweb-like ice patterns instantly formed on the skin under the scales.

At the same time, the little tengu's wings trembled, and gusts of wind transformed into sonic blades, tearing through the poisonous mist with frost, forcing the other snake heads to hide behind their curled-up bodies for defense.

Taking advantage of the moment when the phantom of the Yamata no Orochi paused its breath attack, Senhime, who had received all of Aragaki Yu's spiritual power, finally completed her incantation.

The next moment, Senhime plunged the Sea Shell Halberd into the ground with a mighty roar, "Wrath of the Tide!"

In an instant, a rumbling sound came from underground, and streams of underground water roared out like fountains, the surging dark currents carrying boulders and frantically scouring the cave and the Yamata no Orochi.

In an instant, the phantom of the Yamata no Orochi struggled wildly in the water, its body swaying wildly as it was buffeted by the current.

The Yamata no Orochi statue, now free from the protection of its phantom image, began to shake and collapse under the impact of the undercurrent.

Seeing that its ritual had been destroyed, the phantom of the Yamata no Orochi, which had barely managed to stabilize itself amidst the attack of the underground spring, let out an extremely furious and mournful cry, and even the phantom suddenly dimmed a little.

Seeing this, Yaodaoji charged forward without hesitation, stepping on the pebbles in the water, her blade carrying a sharp sword aura, aiming straight for the neck of the illusory Yamata no Orochi. Its eyes were blood-red, and the remaining snake heads suddenly converged, the poisonous mist colliding with the water and exploding into a blinding spray.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Senhime pulled out the Sea Shell Spear that was stuck in the ground and hurled it with all her might at the statue of Yamata no Orochi. Deeper underground water gushed out, forming a huge vortex that enveloped the Sea Shell Spear and violently crashed into the huge statue.

A deafening roar, tearing through rock layers, echoed from the earth, and the stone statue of Yamata no Orochi shattered. Countless fragments of rock fell like a meteor shower, churning in the rushing water along with dust and shadows.

The pupils of the Yamata no Orochi's head dimmed and went out during the collapse, and the broken scales sank to the bottom of the water, turning into jagged pebbles.

The illusory image of the giant serpent began to twist and deform under the onslaught of the shikigami, and the purplish-black mist flickered like a dying candle.

The little tengu's sonic blade pierced through the illusion, the snow woman's ice crystals froze the afterimages, and the demon sword princess's cold light shattered the last trace of darkness.

With a resentful roar, the illusory image collapsed, turning into specks of eerie blue ghost fire that flickered on the water's surface before being completely swallowed by the surging undercurrents.

"Not good!"

Faced with the scene before him, Aragaki Yuu became even more nervous.

Although the phantom of the Yamata no Orochi disappeared, the cave ceiling groaned under the impact of the underground currents, and collapsed rocks fell like rain. Fortunately, the Yuki-onna temporarily supported the cave ceiling with ice walls.

Meanwhile, having lost its target, the surging spring water swept towards Aragaki Yuuki and his shikigami, carrying countless boulders.

"Come on!"

Braving the surging waves, Senhime lifted up Aragaki Yu beside her, and with Yoto Hime and the other shikigami clearing the way, they ran back the way they came.

Fortunately, when the last piece of the dome fell into the abyss, Aragaki Yu was already pushed out of the hole by the wave stirred up by Senhime.

……

Meanwhile, after Conan subdued the treasure hunter, Poison Rat, who had killed his companion in an attempt to monopolize the treasure with a tranquilizer gun—that is, the short-haired woman—...

Sudo Izumo, having dived into the lake, finally found the treasure, the Nioh Stone, hidden there by Misui Kichiemon.

It was a natural diamond about the size of a fist.

Both Sudo Izumo and the members of the Junior Detective League were incredibly excited about this.

"Oops……"

However, when the old lady disguised as Kaito Kid saw the diamond in Izumo Sudo's hand, her expression turned extremely ugly.

I never expected that after all the effort I put in, they would still find the diamond.

This means that this place will soon be...

hateful!

Conan, I, Kaito Kid, will remember this grudge!

Sure enough, the next second.

Before Phantom Thief Kid could even warn everyone, the ground began to shake violently.

As the mechanism inside the house was activated, the dark spring in the underground passage suddenly became incredibly turbulent.

Countless giant waves roared out of the house, sweeping everyone away.

"Hurry up, hurry up and put the diamond back!"

After being swallowed by a wave, Conan, who barely managed to surface again, anxiously looked around and finally found Sudo Izumo holding the diamond on the water not far away.

"what?"

Sudo Izumo, somewhat bewildered by the sudden flood, paused for a moment.

"Otherwise, we'll be swept to the bottom of the valley!"

At this moment, Conan finally understood the full meaning of the code: Misui Kichiemon had no intention of letting anyone take the Nioh Stone.

"it is good!"

Fortunately, at this critical moment, Sudo Izumo was not defeated by his greed. After taking one last reluctant look at the diamond in his hand, he immediately dived back into the water and swam back to where he had obtained it.

Meanwhile, the children of the Junior Detective Club clung tightly to trees or artificial hills in the floodwaters, struggling desperately in the water.

"Oh no, could Aragaki Yuu still be in the underpass?!"

At this moment, Ai Haibara suddenly realized that Yuu Aragaki, who had been separated from everyone earlier, still hadn't shown up.

If he were still trapped in the tunnel, he would have no chance of survival under such a raging flood.

Thinking of this, Ai Haibara's heart suddenly became extremely anxious.
