Inuyasha: My job stats have no limits.

After an unknown amount of time, a message popped up on the career panel.

【Occupation: Shrine Maiden】

[Level: 1/10 (1/100)]

[Attribute Bonus: Each level provides 0.8 points of Physical Strength, 1 point of Mental Strength, and 1.2 points of Energy]

[Gained Class Skill: Spirit Arrow]

[Gained Profession: Purification]

[Job Change Paths: Exorcist Priestess, Kagura Priestess, Divine Messenger...]

The moment the job panel popped up, the spiritual and demonic power that had been entangled and then repelled within his body paused and stopped fighting.

However, to be fair, the [Miko] class is not gender-restricted, so cute boys can also change jobs.

If this kind of fighting continues, even if Bai Lan dies, she will die with her eyes wide open in disbelief.

Is it over?

Kikyo asked a question.

Bai Lan didn't answer, but sat up from her lap.

A warm power suddenly appeared in his body, flowing through his entire body and nourishing the wounds that had been burned by spiritual power and torn by demonic power.

"It doesn't seem like anything has changed."

Kikyo sized up Shirai.

It wasn't until she saw a faint blue spiritual energy appear at Bai Lan's fingertips that a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

It really worked?!

So simple?

So what have I been striving to become a shrine maiden all these years for...? Hmm, no, I was born a shrine maiden.

She had originally planned to use this failure to persuade Bai Lan to give up her idea of ​​becoming a "shrine maiden".

Unexpectedly, it succeeded in just one attempt.

"Hmph, isn't that impressive?" Bai Lan crossed her arms, looking smug. "It's just a pity we didn't have a betting agreement."

"I'll go ask the deity..."

She said it almost subconsciously, but the next second Kikyo frowned and sat down again.

"...never mind."

She lowered her eyes and spoke softly.

"Now that we've rested, let's set off tomorrow. The demon-slaying village isn't far from the shrine."

Chapter 57 The Importance of Style, The Thunder Beast Clan's Revenge

"Movement is the wind, stillness is emptiness; the sound of spears clashing fills the empty city!"

As a chanting-like sound rang out, a dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and even the forest could feel a surge of heat and a tingling sensation.

Under the terrifying pressure, several armored demon warriors were engulfed by the bursting lightning, their bodies twisting and shattering in the lightning, unable to even utter a scream.

After easily defeating the monster that came to her once again, Bai Lan lowered her hand, her gaze somewhat solemn.

The talent of the [Raider] kept sending reminders, each one stronger than the last, even causing a needle-like pain, all to urge him to continue towards the demon-slaying village.

"Something's not right, priestess. We're getting closer to the demon-slaying village, and there are more and more demons."

"What exactly are those exorcists doing?"

The Shikon Jewel is clearly out of control. Is this feeling due to the taint of demonic energy?

Several hours had passed since Bai Lan and the other person left the shrine.

However, the closer they got to the demon-slaying village, the more monsters they encountered on the road, several times higher than usual.

"It's probably because of the jade... but I'm not entirely sure of the specifics."

Kikyo frowned her beautiful brows: "I had only heard that the allure of 'jade' was deadly to yokai before... but I thought that rumor was too exaggerated. But now it seems that it is not a rumor at all."

The monsters seemed to have lost their minds, showing no fear of death, killing anyone they saw, and had already killed several monsters along the way.

As they were leaving the shrine, Tsubaki was persuaded by Shirai to stay, pointing out that the road to the exorcism village was teeming with monsters.

Chun hopes that after she finishes her training, everyone can go to the demon-slaying village together.

Kikyo did not want to stay here any longer, but wanted to go to the demon-slaying village as soon as possible to purify the 'Shikon Jewel'.

Furthermore, since Bai Lan is a demon who can absorb the spiritual power of a priestess, she cannot reveal this to outsiders, so leaving is the best option.

Bai Lan wholeheartedly agreed. The Heavenly Feather Blade needed to be repaired as soon as possible so that he could better slay monsters and level up his [Ghost Swordsman] class.

Aside from the Holy Grail, the Ghost Knight is currently the class that provides the most attribute boosts.

We can't keep absorbing the power of ghosts and gods forever. The most important thing is that, apart from the underworld as our stronghold, the monsters in the outside world who possess this power are not ordinary people.

"Hurry up..."

Kikyo was somewhat worried about the situation in the demon-slaying village and wanted to quicken her pace again, but after only a few steps, countless demons reappeared in mid-air.

"—Thunder Roar Cannon!"

Before she could draw her bow and nock an arrow, she heard chanting beside her, followed by a dazzling burst of lightning.

It's very similar to the ability used by the Thunder Beast clan in Jieluo City before.

Watching the monster before her being rapidly devoured by the Thunder Roar Cannon, Kikyo subconsciously asked, "Is that a chant? Do demons need to chant to amplify the power of their demonic energy?"

Hmph hmph hmph.

Bai Lan glanced at Kikyo smugly, thinking to herself, "You don't know this, do you? Chanting doesn't increase the power of the demonic thunder, but it does increase your style value!"

As long as my fashion sense is high enough, who can beat me in my fashion world?

Of course, this is also a chance to clear my name.

After all, it's best not to spread the word that you can steal the bloodline power of the demon race. If the Thunder Beasts hear about it, they'll probably gang up on you.

However, to be fair...

The power of thunder is a natural nemesis for most monsters.

With such power, it's no wonder that the Thunder Beast clan dared to openly occupy a valley and declare to all monsters that this place would henceforth be called 'Thunder Valley,' the dwelling place of the Thunder Beast clan.

Therefore, Bai Lan doesn't want other demons to know that she can use the demonic lightning power of the Thunder Beast clan for the time being.

Anyway, after that, no one knows what the Thunder Beast clan did, but before the story began, the entire clan's numbers dwindled to only two or three.

At that time, there was no need to care about the so-called Thunder Beast Clan.

If all the copyright owners are dead, then he will be the new copyright holder!

-

At this time.

Deep in the dense forest, where monsters roam, a middle-aged man strolls leisurely through the forest, seemingly oblivious to all the monsters.

Instead of devouring the other monsters, they trembled and lay prostrate on the ground, showing their submission to the middle-aged man.

"Lord Raigamaru, the Demon Extermination Village is now completely surrounded by us. It's only a matter of time before we break through."

"Indeed, have any unusual movements been made by the priestesses of the Duobaota lineage?"

"Not at the moment."

The talking monster was no different from a human, with human limbs and wearing human clothes. But when it raised its head, it did not have the face that a human should have, but a frog's face, with eyes swollen like light bulbs.

—Ninety-nine toads!

Not all toads can be called "ninety-nine". In the toad family, only those that have lived for at least three hundred years are qualified to be called "ninety-nine".

He said carefully, "However, the half-demon and the priestess you asked us to keep an eye on have indeed set off for the demon-slaying village. But the oni warriors I sent out have been completely wiped out by them, so we don't know their exact location yet."

The demon named Raigamaru, sensing the immense power he had gained, smiled contemptuously:

"Inagu and Raizo are a disgrace to the Thunder Beast clan! They were killed by a mere half-demon and a priestess, utterly disgracing our Thunder Beast clan!"

"But it's good that you died quickly, which saved me a lot of trouble."

He looked around the demons he had summoned around the Demon Exorcising Village and thought to himself that the scum who attacked the village this time was enough.

Only then did he speak.

"This time, whether it's the Lightning Blade or the Shikon Jewel, I will take them back and revitalize the Thunder Beast clan!"

"Men, follow me to the demon-slaying village!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he soared into the sky, and the monsters that filled the dense forest followed him with laughter.

"Hehe, now we can taste what a demon slayer is like."

"The Shikon Jewel... If only I could lick it, maybe I could become a great youkai!"

"Witch, half-demon, hurry to the demon-slaying village! Our entire Thunder Beast clan is here, quietly awaiting your arrival!"

"Only blood and flesh can wash away this shame and hatred!"

After all the monsters left, the Ninety-Nine Toad stayed there for another ten minutes or so to make sure that the monsters wouldn't come back.

He let out a breath. Dealing with the unpredictable Thunder Beast clan was terrifying; one wrong move and he would die.

Thankfully, it's finally over.

He cautiously returned to his demon lair.

Before long, piercing cries and foul language came from inside.

Chapter 58 Half-demon, are you feeling quite smug right now?

"Such a strong demonic aura."

As soon as they reached the depths of the dense forest, Bai Lan covered her nose. These monsters stank so badly, they hadn't taken a bath in hundreds of years.
