Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

"Yes!"

Asuka Tendo nodded, but then frowned: "But that's still difficult..."

Hoshino Hideyuki asked, "By the way, what's he doing curled up in a ball right now? Can we interrupt him?"

"It's probably because the black mist can't deal with your flames, so it wants to change its form. As I just said, it can't withstand the drain, so it wants to use the most suitable form to quickly defeat you and me."

"As for interrupting... he's currently in a purely defensive stance, very tough, I can't do it, can your flames do it?"

Asuka Tendo took a closer look at the fox, then said in surprise:

"Your demonic power is much weaker than I thought, so it probably won't work."

I'm just a fox who makes a living by deception; weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Who knows what your countermeasures office thought of me? Completely lacking in compassion for rare and endangered wildlife—bad review!

Hoshino Hideyuki pursed his lips:

"So, we can only wait and do nothing? Like a poor person who sees a cockroach crawling across the toilet but can't get up to chase it because they haven't finished wiping their bottom?"

"What a strange analogy... but it's quite apt. If we're going to fight a war of attrition, this is the only way!"

Asuka Tendo explained, "The key is within about a minute after he transforms."

"If we can't hold out, he wins; if we hold out, his magic power will be exhausted, and we win!"

Hoshino Hideyuki, with a pained expression, pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up:

"I've got an idea!"

"what?"

"You just said that this guy knows he can't withstand the strain, so he wants to take us down quickly... So, could we provoke him a bit, make him more extreme, and concentrate all his strength into one move, thus exhausting his power in a second?"

"?"

Asuka Tendo, bewildered, said, "What are you talking about, you fox? Wouldn't that make us easy targets? My Myō-ō Dharma Body and your flames have their limits!"

"What's there to be afraid of? Let's give it a shot! It's either instant kill or instant kill, how exciting!"

The fox stretched and, without waiting for Asuka Tendo to react, took three steps forward and stood in front of the throbbing black ball.

Just then, the chains came undone, and a humanoid creature emerged from them.

Standing a little over two meters tall, entirely black, with bulging muscles and clearly visible large veins, his breathing sounded like thunder, instilling immense pressure in the listener.

He grinned, revealing equally black teeth, and said:

"Fox, let's begin round two!"

Without saying a word, Hoshino Hideyuki snapped his fingers, and blue flames swept upwards.

"Hahaha, that's it?"

The Book Spirit sneered, "That was just now, and this is now. It can't hurt me at all!"

"Oh, really? Well then, I'll show you the strength I've worked so hard to develop!"

The fox smiled slightly, and then...

...The system was summoned.

Chapter 53 The Fox: I Can Be As Strong as I Want

Several lines of text suddenly appeared on the fox's retina:

[Name: Hoshino Hideyuki]

[Race: Laughing Fox~?^.???^?]

[Talent: Meditation and Cultivation]

[Talent Description: Omitted~?(???)?]

Current Skills: Charm (lv1), Mirror Image (lv2), Seventy-Two Transformations (lv3), Hairy Warrior (lv1), Heart Moonfire (lv1)

[Current Props: Absolutely safe small cotton blanket, oil paper wrapping for immediate use during digging]

[Remaining cultivation points: 50]

Ah ~

Rich~

From deceiving the idol's vengeful spirit in the performance hall until now, Hoshino Hideyuki has not used a single cultivation point, and has finally accumulated 50 points.

Now is the time to use them!

He first spent 10 points to upgrade Heartfire to level 2.

In an instant, the blue-green flames surged up.

On the other side, Shu Ling's expression suddenly changed.

what happened?

The damage from this fire has suddenly increased?

However, the fox did nothing at all; it even seemed to be daydreaming!

"Hum~"

Hoshino Hideyuki smiled knowingly at Asuka.

"Did you notice anything amiss? Actually, I've been hiding my true strength the whole time~"

what the hell!

How can it be!

The book spirit initially didn't believe what the fox said.

However, he really couldn't understand how the power of the flames had suddenly become stronger!

Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I'll stop thinking about it...

Even if I become a little stronger, so what? I still can't hurt myself!

"You little monster, stop talking big!"

He strode toward the fox, intending to smash it into a pulp with one punch.

The fox then snapped its fingers again, spending another 15 points to upgrade Heartfire to level 3.

call!

The azure flames grew with the wind, forming small fire tornadoes that spun, roared, and continuously bombarded the black book spirit's body!

"This, how is this possible!"

Shuling was starting to doubt her own eyesight.

That fox clearly didn't do anything!

He didn't see anything unusual, so why did the moves suddenly become stronger?

And this time it really burned him!

This is unreasonable, this is so unreasonable!

"Boasting? That's hilarious! Every little animal around here knows that I, the fox, am the most honest of all!"

Hideyuki Hoshino used his Seventy-Two Transformations technique, turning his right hand into an oversized Gatling gun!

The Heart Moonfire clung to it, bursting out from the six barrels of the machine gun, baring its fangs and claws!

"My next move is called the Great Compassion Blue Flame Gatling Gun Secret Technique!"

"Little book spirit, don't be arrogant. I'll take you down in one strike!"

The book spirit swallowed a mouthful of non-existent saliva.

On the surface, even after the flames were intensified twice, they could only cause him a slight burn.

but……

But now he no longer trusts his own superficial judgment!

What if this blue flame Gatling gun suddenly becomes stronger when it starts up?

If you're not careful, you could get killed!

The book spirit grew increasingly panicked.

Based on the characteristic of the Heart Moon Fire devouring the target's emotions, the more agitated and panicked the target becomes, the stronger the flames become, which in turn makes the target even more agitated and panicked, and thus the flames become even stronger...

Hey, it's on repeat now~

at last……

The Book Spirit had had enough and was no longer hesitant!

He knew that he could not let the Onmyoji and the fox get away today. Once he showed himself, there was no way out. He had to win!

The best course of action now is to gamble all our strength on a single strike, using our ultimate moves against each other, and kill this fox completely!

"Drink!!!"

Facing the fox's blue-flame Gatling gun, his right hand twitched, conjuring a thick, three-meter-long spear wrapped in chains, which he pointed directly at the fox!

"Come on, let's settle this with one move!"

The fox laughed heartily, causing sparks to fly continuously from the machine gun!

Just then, dark clouds drifted across the night sky, obscuring the moonlight outside the window and plunging the building into darkness...

boom!

Book Spirit seized the opportunity and decisively attacked, cracking the floorboards with her footsteps. Amidst the scattering dust, her entire body transformed into a pitch-black cannonball, crashing down with immense force!

"careful!"

Asuka Tendo, being a professional, noticed the Book Spirit's actions and then realized that Hideyuki Hoshino was standing there blankly, neither dodging nor avoiding, which immediately made her anxious.

That stupid fox!
