The severed tip of the snake's tail withdrew into the barrier.
The gap caused by Ame-no-Ohabari completely closed, and the entire ethereal blue barrier was restored.
The enormous black snake surged and roared within the inverted bowl-like barrier, but its silhouette was entirely obscured due to the barrier. The whole barrier and the Snake Deity's indistinctly moving body merged together, like a translucent, enormous egg nurturing a terrifying snake.
"This barrier is much sturdier than I anticipated."
Kamiya had no intention of continuing to damage the barrier with Ame-no-Ohabari, at least not for this trip.
If the Snake Deity inside were completely released, who knows what might happen.
Better to first ascertain its identity and gather some clues from Kaneguma and Hoshiguma.
Moreover, during that last battle, Kamiya's side seized the snake tail-wrapped long sword, took victory as it was, and at least secured the spoils of war safely first.
"Awoo—"
