Chapter 11: The burden of a rank.

As Sakura walked into the icy cave along with three gold honor Onmyoji,a Woman with a short blue hair approached them as the gold honor Onmyoji's body were vanishing into sparkling dust sending them back to where they came from her name was Ryuki.

“You don't know do you?” Ryuki would say with a sarcastic tone.

“I'm just realizing it now, you cast a strength barrier around here”Sakura replied.

“I wasn't the one who cast the barrier it was someone else and moreover this barrier was cast in every Hyoju cave” Ryuki said while rubbing her chin.

“A barrier that selects warriors based on a power range..........” Sakura said in her thought.

“Only diamond honors are allowed to fight us, trust me anyone weaker is a bonus!” Ryuki said with a happy tone.

“And by the way, am I not too pretty to not fight a deserving opponent?” Ryuki added.

“I'll have to ignore the way she is acting, even with her charms it doesn't change the fact that she is a member of the exalted divine zero!” Sakura said in her thought.

“OH! That reminds me I hear the title you were given by the heavenly gods is “The stellar witch” or something, the ability to materialize Karma into cosmic elements, correct?” Ryuki said to Sakura.

“That is indeed correct, I don't go about bragging with my title though, it's such a bore” Sakura replied.

“hmm,Turns out we have something in common!” Ryuki said happily.

“You don't have a title though” Sakura replied.

“Pfft! That's a mean thing to say!” Ryuki said with a childish look.

“Moreover, I want to steal yours!” Ryuki added with a serious tone.

Hiryū no Kaze (飛竜の風) -Soaring Dragon Wind!

A powerful gust of wind would emerge from a sigil conjured by Ryuki and approach Sakura who already conjured a divine barrier to shield it.

Ryuki would clap and say “Impressive! I'm obviously cuter than you but let's discover whose techniques are more beautiful.......”

“i don't like games..................................”Sakura would say while conjuring a sigil in preparation to launch an attack.

"Ryuusei no Ame" (流星の雨) -Conqueror style: Comet rain.

One billion rays of light would emerge from the sigil and approach Ryuki,Sakura would conjure another sigil in front of the rays of light as they approached Ryuki.

「第七の流れ!星々の乗数!」

(Dai-nana no Nagare! Hoshiboshi no Jousuu!) -7th flow!:Stellar multiplier!

The rays of light would multiply to 10x their initial value and approach Ryuki with full force causing a large explosion on impact.

Sakura would sigh while saying to herself “If Okusaka-san hadn't begged me so much to teach him then I would have had comet rain to myself and would have even made it my signature technique”

Sakura would look in shock as she felt a powerful aura within the dispersing smoke where Ryuki was situated.

As the smoke cleared the aura of a celestial dragon could be seen behind Ryuki.

“You deserve your title, Alright............but I really don't know what that attack felt like though,it hit me but it was simply insufficient to damage me..........i guess?”Ryuki said to Sakura.

“Are you kidding me?!................that technique vaporizes even atoms!” Sakura exclaimed.

“Atoms of the weak I suppose?”Ryuki replied sarcastically.

Dash................

Ryuki would teleport above sakura and land a kick on her face sending her back many metres.

第九流れ (Dai Kyū Nagare) :星辰革命 (Seishin Kakumei) -9th flow!: Stellar Revolution!

An array of compressed stars would emerge from a sigil and home at Ryuki faster than the speed of light.

Ryuki would dodge everything and conjure a sigil to send back an attack of her own....

Sol beam!

Sakura would block the attack with her divine barrier but would still kneel to the ground from the attack's damage.

“Sol beam can't be blocked physically, it's a technique that burns the soul!” Ryuki would say while approaching Sakura who was kneeling.

As Ryuki came near to Sakura a sigil appeared under her feet.

“A trap................when did she?..................”Ryuki said abruptly.

第八の流れ、地星!

(Dai Hachi no Nagare, Chisei!),Ganda...

8th flow: Earth star!,Ganda...

Multiple beams of light would shoot from the ground to the heavens attacking Ryuki.

Sakura would teleport backwards to keep her distance.

Ryuki would emerge from the technique unscathed.

“Surprisingly or Unsurprisingly! You are too weak to harm me girl!” Ryuki would say with a delighted tone.

“T-T-This..............is not normal...................How does she manage to emerge from every attack unscathed.......something feels wrong!” Sakura said in her thought.

Sol beam!

Ryuki would fire a beam of concentrated solar energy at Sakura.

Sakura would emerge from the technique unscathed while taking it head-on

Clap.....Clap.......Clap......

Ryuki would applaud sakura and say “You learn quick y'know, so tell me what's the trick!”

“Nothing much, I simply shielded my soul with Karmic aura to prevent damage from reaching it”Sakura replied.

That........................

Was not what I did.......................

星界次元具現化 (Seikai Jigen Gugenka) -Stellar dimensional embodification.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

A technique that allows me convert my soul into a portal that leads to a dimension I created.

Shielding my soul with karmic aura is a technique that could also work but this might just be what I need to finish her off.............

If my instincts are correct...................

“Cool!Cool!................you have beautiful techniques I must say!” Ryuki said to Sakura.

“But these eyes have never lied to me............they tell me my opponents future correctly and have never been wrong!” Ryuki added.

“If you continue this battle..............you'll die!” Ryuki said with a serious tone.

Sakura would burst into laughter upon hearing what Ryuki told her.

“Death?!...........Death?!....................”Sakura said histerically.

There were days I cried at my own weakness,everytime I thought about it it got me angry like crazy.

Nature,Humanity,Animals,Life........All these things are the burdens the very universe has placed upon the shoulders of every Onmyoji to protect.

Knowing I don't have the power to completely eradicate the power of darkness gets me angry.......

But..........

DEATH?!.....................

“You fool!from the day we became diamond rank Onmyoji's we were already dead men!..........” Sakura said to Ryuki.

“We don't fear death,after all...........i've come to realize that as an Onmyoji..........” Sakura added.

It's what we live for........................

Ryuki would look in shock as goosebumps crawled through her skin..

“Talking so high and mighty like that!” Ryuki said in her thought while angrily clenching her fist.

“SHUT UP!” Ryuki would say while conjuring a sigil with tears rolling down her cheek.

“It's a simple plan but initiating it would definitely lead me to Victory!” Sakura said in her thought.

Dragon breath!: Halo!

A ring of fire would appear around Sakura and constrict her.

Sakura would kneel on the ground constricted as Ryuki came closer to her.

“Look how the mighty has fallen now, all that talk just for no--------” Ryuki would say abruptly as a sigil appeared beneath her activating a trap planted by Sakura.

“How does she manage to …...............,Nonetheless it's futile!none of her attacks can get past my Draconic aura” Ryuki said in her thought.

8th flow!:Soul release!

Sakura would release her soul out of her body as it dashed through Ryuki and returned back to her.

“What's that all about? And this trap why does it have a bind spell attached to it!”Ryuki said in her thought as she struggled to move.

Another sigil conjured by Sakura appeared beneath Ryuki.

征服者流派・帝星昇天 (Seifukusha Ryūha - Teisei Shōten) -Conqueror style: Imperial star ascension....

「第七の流れ!星々の乗数!」

(Dai-nana no Nagare! Hoshiboshi no Jousuu!)-7th flow: Stellar multiplier!

Multiple beams of compressed star would shoot out from the ground towards the heavens as their damage power was increased to 10X its initial value.

“It's futile!”Ryuki said in her thought.

I've said it before haven't I?..........................

It's...........................

Futile!..................................................................................

“AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”Ryuki would scream in pain as the compressed stars burst through her flesh damaging her intensely.

“It worked!”Sakura said excitedly.

“The technique 'Stellar dimensional embodification.' can also make contact with 4dimensional immaterial object like the Draconic aura you embodied yourself with”Sakura said to Ryuki.

“My soul is the one who can perform the technique that is why I passed it through you to warp your aura into another dimension” Sakura added.

Ryuki flesh began to rip open as her blood spilled around the area releasing a monstrosity from within.

Her body became scaly as her size increased to the size of a mountain.

In all sincerity Ryuki had become.

An imperial dragon.

image [https://i.postimg.cc/5yBD800z/pikaso-texttoimage-create-the-image-of-a-celestial-dragon-as-large-as-1.jpg]

A dragon who has attained the divine mark and has become one with the caliber of the earthly gods.

“I-I-i guess that's it for me then” Sakura would say as she stared at the dragon helplessly.

The dragon would open it's mouth as a massive ball of energy and karma swirled around it.

Dragon breath!: god slayer.

Sakura would stare at the large beam with her heart racing and her mind puzzled on what actions to take, it was a beam somewhat too large to even be dodged to begin with.

In her mind an image of a phoenix elegantly rising from it's ashes would appear hastily as she prepared to face the technique head on.

A large beam approached sakura as it's pressure alone eradicated the walls of the whole cave and caused a large explosion upon making an impact with Sakura.

The god slayer beam is a beam capable of killing any immortal in one fatal blow.

A technique that makes use of destructive Karma honed to perfection.

A technique that makes imperial dragons a menance to the earthly gods.

Before Sakura's eyes her divine barrier broke to pieces as her skin peeled, she felt a strong sense of heat all over this was not the heat from flames but rather the heat from the destructive energy the attack was oozing ultimately the technique would rid her of every bodily flesh leaving only her skeletal system visible.

The dragon would stare at Sakura's skeleton as it relayed a message across space using telepathy “What happened to all the burdens of an Onmyoji you talked about!”

“A pitiful way to die indeed!” The dragon added telepathically.

I was prepared for this moment from when our battle began.........

Like I said before........i do NOT fear death................................................

For, I can transcend it!

Karma would begin swirling around Sakura's skeleton as it floated her skeleton to the heavens.

An ethereal barrier would begin swirling around Sakura as the figure of a man began to emerge from within the barrier...........

Forbidden flow technique: Temporal stellar dilation ascedancy.

A technique that allows me bring the strongest form of myself from all timelines to this one for a temporal moment...

The scene would change to Takemikazuchi who was watching the event through a mirror.

“Oh would you look at that!”

image [https://i.postimg.cc/9fskSTwT/pikaso-texttoimage-create-an-anime-male-character-with-a-divine-trans.jpg]

A NEW ERA god!

An immense amount of Karmic aura was oozing from the figure of the man that stood before the dragon, but this was no man, this was a god in flesh.........

“This does not have to end like this.............” The god would say with a calm tone....

“My visions are never wrong! At the end of the day you'll die and i'll be the victor!”The dragon replied.

“Your vision.....................was not wrong.......”The god would say while conjuring a white sigil.

"Ryuusei no Ame" (流星の雨) -Conqueror style: Comet rain..

Billions of comet rays would hit the dragon scale causing small damage to it.

9th flow: Nova spear.

A spear forged of stars would conjure at the hands of the god as he threw it at the dragon.

Dragon breath: Sol burst!

Rays of concentrated solar energy would burst out from a sigil and home at the god, the god would dodge everything effortlessly and punch the dragons forehead.

The impact from the punch would send nearby mountains into destruction as the dragon simply flinched from it.

“It's size is too big!”The god said in his thought.

"Ryuusei no Ame" (流星の雨) -Conqueror style!: Comet rain!

The god would flex his power as hundreds of sigils would appear around the dragon firing it billions of light rays.

“This type of power goes beyond the norm! How could he conjure this amount!”The dragon would say in it's thought as the attack cracked it's extremely tough scale.

I'm not weak...........

I'm not weak.......................

Akemi................

i'm not WEAK!............................

The dragon would exclaim while firing energy beams randomly and aggresively with rage destroying mountains on impact.

“I'll prove it to you! I'm not weak!........i.....can.........win!” The dragon would say with tears pouring from its eyes as the image of a small girl appeared before it.

The dragon would say while gathering a large ball of energy and Karma in it's mouth.

Dragon breath of the divine!: god slayer!

A large beam with power and speed equivalent to the big bang that created the universe would approach the god at full force.

“I see............you wish to end it already..........”The god would say as the attack approached him.

I have graced infinite epiphanies................

I have surpassed the impetus of many burdens...................

let me be the star that destroyed the earth on it's own will and rebuilt it from nothingness......

The Karmic aura of the god would rise as his divine wings released an ethereal glow turning his eyes blue............Completing the chant Karmic energy would swirl around the god as though a tornado as the sky burst open with a portal showing galaxies transparently from above across a wide radius.

The god would raise his hand to the portal as stars began to fall from it forming an ethereal stellar blade of some sort, as the blade came closer to the god's hand the stars from the portal above emanated a brighter glow as though in a state of unending joy.

The god would point the blade at the dragon as it fully formed,as the dragon felt the energy the god was emanating it increased the power of it's attack putting in it's all.

「宇宙の呪詛」 (Uchū no Jusso) -Cosmic Damnation!

A beam that showed galaxies and stars would emerge from the blade and approach the dragon completely eradicating it's attack and exploding upon impact.

The explosion would dissipate and Ryuki would fall from the technique with her body dissipating into nothingness.

“I-i-i was not wrong......was..............i?” Ryuki would say to the god.

“T-the.............mastermind for all our..................spells and the one you have to kill most importantly........is located..........within that portal....................”Ryuki added while conjuring a portal.

“Your vision was not wrong,indeed...........after all” The god said to Ryuki.

“The price for using this form is my................life............so as to not upset the balance of time” The god would say while entering the portal.

Don't look at me like that Akemi...........

At least I did the right thing before I died.....................

i'm simply afraid she might not make it out alive.........................

After all................

Who she is up against is the product of the unholy union between a yokai and a god.

The rumored 2nd strongest member in the exalted divine zero.........................................

The cursed child who once set the old world into a cosmic chaos...........

image [https://i.postimg.cc/0yBXMmf3/pikaso-texttoimage-create-an-anime-young-female-child-who-is-the-chil.jpg]

YUJIME........

Ah............. now that i'm seeing death up close...........

I think I choose to live............no matter.............it's too late now.....

Ryuki's existence would vanish as she uttered her last words.

Takemikazuchi would stand up from the divine throne in which he was seated and move towards a golden orb adoring it with his gaze.

He would tap his feet on the ground impatiently as though expecting something or perhaps someone.

Shortly a portal burst open as two celestial figures emerged from it.

These two celestial figures wore a divine cloth that oozed a feeling of dark karma around as the pressure they radiated was worthy enough for them to be quickly noticed by the god Takemikazuchi.

Takemikazuchi looked backwards as he set his eyes upon the demon lords of fire and lightning.
