[As the effect of Kairi's shinki power spreads and joins with the water Suijin is providing, Suijin finds herself breathing a little easier. It is far from over yet, but eradicating the magic circle using the water seems to be going well. A little bit longer, she thinks, and then they can direct the blessed water at the ayakashi dam to disturb it.

Aymeric's lure is quite effective, especially when it comes to the ayakashi's choice between fighting a ready target, or wading through blessed water.

It is impossible to count them as they dart to-and-fro to begin their attacks on Aymeric, but there seem to be a good twenty or so otter-like ayakashi swarming towards them. In the rear a large ayakashi with elk-like antlers is lumbering nearer, unheeding of the ayakashi it may crush beneath its feet. The ayakashi making up the dam are stirring, but making no movement yet. That may change once the blessed water spreads far enough.

Wary of the large one, Kayonaga sends a borderline to stop it from advancing, so that the otters can be dealt with first. He then sends cutting borderlines into the crowd of ayakashi, wounding the otter-like ones with arrow-like accuracy that prevents them from swarming Aymeric all at once.
The rest is up to the god and his shinki.]
