" Mom! Let's look for Kunou-chan " Vivian said with some urgency because he could feel that if he didn't hurry something might happen to Kunou.
Even if Genji was a worthless being whose death wouldn't even cause a ripple in the supernatural community, Vivian couldn't help but respect the man as even though he was weak he still gave his life to protect what he was supposed to protect.
Even though he failed and the reason for that was his weakness, Vivian didn't disdain him as he knew not everyone has the same starting point or finish line.
The world is unfair and those with potential and talent rise above others while the weak will stay weak.
The truly weak won't have an opportunity to rise that's just the way the world is.
He may be young but he was very intelligent so he could understand deeper topics like this.
You can achieve great things as long as you work hard is a statement made for the weak because only in that way can they be motivated to work hard.
There may be lucky exceptions in which a nobody would rise to the top { * Cough* Issei * Cough*} but that too would be a result of luck.
{ A.N: He is talking about the supernatural community and about literal power, not money or anything }
And that person's success cannot be emulated by a second person so in the end the weak can only be trampled upon by the strong.
But even if Genji was a weakling in the grand scope of things, he still tried to fulfil his duty whether out of fear or honour, Vivian would like to believe it was the latter.
He didn't want to make Genji's death pointless, since he could help him out and was well within his capabilities then he would like to do that.
And he didn't think he could just stand by knowing a child-like Kunou was going to be hurt since he knew now and it didn't sit right with him to sit back.
He may not be a self-righteous hero but he wouldn't just stand by and watch an innocent person die when he could save them without much effort especially a child like Kunou.
Blood was going to be spilled and it certainly won't be his.....
....
' Damn it! These vermin!' She cursed in her mind as nine golden tails swished around in frustration behind her.
Her gaze was filled with killing intent as she glared at the men standing before her. Allies, subordinates, enemies .... She wanted nothing more than to tear them apart with her claws.
Onmyoji had always had a problem with her but she never expected them to band together with others to deal with her.
Although not seeing eye to eye she and the 5 principles clans basically serve Amaterasu, thus she never expected them to outright plot against her.
Maybe she underestimated how fragile their egos are, having to serve a Yokai whom they viewed as 'filthy' would be very humiliating for them.
They might even ignore the fact that she was personally appointed by Amaterasu-sama as her priestess.
Self-righteous people will find all kinds of reasons to justify their cause, and to think they waited for the perfect moment to attack her.
To think they would manage to make even her closest subordinate betray her, even if she was poisoned she was still a genuine God class being who could be as strong as the heavenly dragons once she accessed the Kyoto Leylines.
But they were able to sneak attack and injure her using her daughter as a threat.
She would have already obliterated these vermin if not for fearing her Kunou being in danger.
" A creature of darkness like you shouldn't be in control of the Leylines, lest you corrupt them. So don't blame us Yasaka " A man from one of the Five principled clans said in a righteous manner as he brandished his purification flames in his hands.
Yasaka just scoffed inside her heart, if they wanted to act all high and mighty then they should do that without being insidious or dirty.
She wondered among them who was dark or vile since these vermin poisoned her, then proceeded to use her daughter against her.
'What a bunch of righteous and noble people~'Yasaka sneered inside her mind as she glared at each and every one of them.
Once she confirmed Kunou's safety she was going to tear them all apart limb from limb.
She may look gentle on the outside but she was a Nine failed fox, a fearsome Yokai.
She didn't become the leader of the most influential Yokai faction in Japan without having some blood in her hands.
These people were stupid if they thought they could take on a God-class powerhouse with their measly strength.
Currently, she was playing along with them feigning weakness, She could currently exert as much strength as an Ultimate class being due to the poison's effect and could become stronger if she accessed the leylines.
They may have thought she might have to be near the shrine to be able to access the leylines but that's a very big mistake on their part.
She can access them as long she was in Kyoto.
If Yasaka doesn't leave Kyoto then there are very few beings who could threaten her and they are only a handful and mostly kept to themselves.
But using this power did come with its drawbacks, she would be weakened for a period of time and if there were any more assailants she would be in danger.
Yasaka was able to access the Leylines in Kyoto due to being a Nine Tail fox which has a strong connection to Japan's history and people's beliefs....
