Abe no Seimei raised his hand seal again, and several spirit talismans formed in the air like this.
If other exorcists saw this scene of drawing talismans out of thin air, they would doubt whether the cursed arts they had learned were fake.
This was the strength of the great exorcist Abe no Seimei. He could use cursed arts of this level with ease.
From those spirit talismans, all kinds of shikigami rushed out, pouncing on Drake together. And Abe no Seimei himself began to prepare to activate new cursed arts.
Drake recalled it. It seemed that among the many opponents he had encountered, there hadn't been a normal "mage" or "summoner" like Abe no Seimei.
They were clearly using magic, but each of them was fiercer in melee combat than anyone else. Only Abe no Seimei didn't join them, giving Drake a novel feeling.
Two shikigami that couldn't be seen as foxes or dogs pounced over, directly biting Drake's two wrists.
Then a deer-type shikigami rammed at Drake with horns like a seven-branched sword.
But after hitting Drake, the shikigami deer let out a wail instead, and the huge pair of antlers on its head broke inch by inch.
Drake brought his arms together, directly smashing the two canine shikigami together, smashing them to pieces. Then he dashed before the shikigami deer, raising his hand and snapping its neck.
But just then, a white snake had already approached, wrapping Drake tightly with its body.
At the same time, Abe no Seimei's cursed arts were also ready.
"Summon Yang Lightning, Hurry, hurry, as the statutes command!"
A lightning bolt as thick as a water tank fell from the sky, enveloping Drake and the white snake shikigami together.
Drake spat out a puff of black smoke. As expected of Abe no Seimei's cursed arts, it was really powerful. This lightning even pierced through the defense of the Dragon King Martial Body, but the damage caused was still limited.
Drake exerted force, directly crushing the carbonized white snake shikigami.
The remaining shikigami also continued to attack Drake. Drake didn't want to get entangled with these shikigami.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!"
Flames extended out from Drake's arm, fanning out as Drake waved his arm.
As the flames swept over, all the shikigami were ignited, and finally turned into ashes. And Drake also launched a surprise attack towards Abe no Seimei.
How could Abe no Seimei let Drake get close? With a wave of his hand, he summoned a large number of roots from under his feet. The tips of the roots were as sharp as spears, all stabbing at Drake.
The roots in the front row did pierce through Drake's body, but that was just an afterimage.
Abe no Seimei wouldn't be deceived by what his eyes saw, continuing to control the roots to stab at the area in front of him, and Drake did indeed appear there.
Drake grabbed two roots with both hands, directly breaking them off, but more roots stabbed over from behind.
Drake ignited flames in both hands, and then synthesized a small fireball.
"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!"
The fireball flew out, growing larger and larger in mid-air, and those roots that had stabbed over were also instantly carbonized, and then shattered by the flying fireball.
The fireball finally crashed into the wall formed by the intertwined roots, spreading into a sea of fire.
The flames and roots disappeared at the same time, and the two saw each other's faces again.
Abe no Seimei frowned. He wasn't in perfect condition now.
Originally, his plan was to have Enmado Rokuro awaken the true power of the Star Destroyer King, and then add Adashino Benio's Yang power to complete his resurrection.
But now, although he had devoured Yuto Ijika, as well as the cursed power of the Basara and the Twelve Guardians in his body, it was far inferior to the perfection of resurrecting with the power of the Twin Stars.
Thinking that all of this was caused by the person before him, Abe no Seimei's heart couldn't calm down.
Drake's body was emitting white steam, which was a phenomenon of the Dragon King Martial Body's power being fully released. And Abe no Seimei also outlined more spirit talismans.
Five spirit talismans arranged a pentagram array before Abe no Seimei, and the power of the five elements flowed within it.
Drake revealed an interested expression. He hadn't seen this cursed art in the Exorcist Union's information.
In fact, in the process of inheritance from generation to generation, some cursed arts hadn't been passed down for various reasons. Especially some ancient cursed arts, which had lost their corresponding value due to environmental changes.
After all, Abe no Seimei's main enemies before were monsters and demons, and his opponents later changed to Impurities, so the cursed arts had undergone corresponding changes.
And what kind of person was Abe no Seimei? It could be said that the cursed arts he had mastered were far richer than what was in the information.
This cursed art was like that. The array with the five elements flowing within it emitted an aura that Drake also felt was dangerous.
Abe no Seimei opened his lips, chanting a spell.
A line of fire shot out from the pentagram. Just as Drake was about to swallow it, that line of fire turned into ice.
Drake quickly dodged the ice thorns, but he didn't expect the ice thorns to turn into vines, binding Drake.
Then the vines turned into blades, cutting around Drake's body, scraping a series of sparks on Drake's tough skin.
Drake frowned. Those blades weren't ordinary metal. Cutting on his body actually wore away part of Drake's defense.
Drake had a feeling that it was because his defense was made of dragon power. If it was pure fire power, it would have been directly defeated.
"The power of the five elements generating and overcoming each other? This is a bit interesting!"
Drake said, directly violently tearing apart the blades on his body.
Abe no Seimei disdained this reckless behavior, changing his hand seal. The power of the five elements gathered in the center of the pentagram.
A five-colored pillar of light shot out, and Drake could feel that it contained the terrible power to decompose all things.
Drake didn't retreat or dodge, but leaned down and aimed at Abe no Seimei, and a red, gorgeous magic circle opened.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
The pillar of fire slammed out, colliding with the five-colored pillar of light.
Drake's perception was correct. The five-colored pillar of light that Abe no Seimei shot out did have the terrible power to decompose all things.
At first, the five-colored pillar of light did overwhelm the pillar of fire. Drake increased his magic power input to maintain the stalemate.
Abe no Seimei looked relaxed on the surface, but was also shocked by Drake's powerful magic power, so he secretly increased his cursed power input.
But just when the five-colored pillar of light had once again gained the upper hand, Abe no Seimei's movements suddenly froze, and the pentagram and talisman shattered.
Drake seemed to have expected this scene long ago, and didn't take the opportunity to attack, instead retracting his offensive.
"My body... can't move. What's going on?" There was a hint of panic in Abe no Seimei's tone.
"Yeah, what's going on?"
That voice wasn't Drake's. There was someone else speaking. A slightly frivolous man walked out from behind Abe no Seimei, saying with a playful smile, "Ancestor, we should be very familiar, right!"
"Tsuchimikado... Arima!"
That's right, the man who appeared was Tsuchimikado Arima.
Before, Tsuchimikado Arima was indeed attacked by Kankuro, and was really caught in a trap that would surely lead to death. But that was also calculated by Tsuchimikado Arima. Instead, he used Kankuro to activate a ritual.
Through that ritual, Tsuchimikado Arima's soul traveled through time, seeing all of Abe no Seimei's plans.
Then Tsuchimikado Arima returned to the real world, but as soon as he returned, he discovered that Yuto Ijika had already schemed against the Twelve Guardians. Tsuchimikado Arima keenly sensed a deeper crisis.
And at this time, Tsuchimikado Arima, who had just escaped, only had a little cursed power left. So he immediately contacted Drake.
Whether Tsuchimikado Arima had cursed power or not wasn't important at this time. What was important was the knowledge and wisdom he possessed.
Abe no Seimei's plan had long been completely exposed, so the two decided to force Abe no Seimei to resurrect with Yuto Ijika's power.
That way, he wouldn't be able to achieve a perfect resurrection, and if he encountered a great battle, he would have to rely on the power of the Heavenly Pillar.
And taking this opportunity, Tsuchimikado Arima could inject the power of cursed arts into Abe no Seimei's body.
And things progressed smoothly. Abe no Seimei had successfully fallen for it.
