Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

[Hayate's body has been controlled by a split spirit of Yamata no Orochi, and he is temporarily out of contact.]

[Since Gale belongs to the player character, you can temporarily gain control of it. Please use it at the appropriate time.]

Haruhiko's eyes widened suddenly.

Split the spirit?

The same was true for Teru Morikawa before him.

To this day, Tachibana Yui and Tsuchimikado Mari have not fully uncovered his secret.

As a result, his relationship with Kaneda Yu, the head of the Edo Archaeological Bureau, became somewhat strained.

After all, I had agreed to the deal with him in the first place.

However, due to the secrets of the Takamagahara ruins, the matter could only be delayed again and again.

This shows just how troublesome it is to divide one's spirit.

Neither of the two fifth-tier psionicists could handle it.

The fact that Hayate has now been shown to be controlled by a split spirit of Orochi is undoubtedly unexpected for Haruhiko.

He calmed down and analyzed the situation carefully.

The fact that Yamata no Orochi was trapped in the ruins of Takamagahara is definitely not something he did.

It is the Serpent Spirit organization.

They most likely used the Miyamoto clan's spirit-summoning ritual to achieve the effect of summoning deities.

In other words, there were traitors from the Serpent Spirit present at the scene.

Haruhiko narrowed his eyes slightly.

Actually, for him, the current situation isn't that bad.

He still retains control.

But Miyamoto's situation is harder to predict.

They believed they had controlled the Gale with a third-tier body.

Little did they know, the roles of hunter and prey had completely reversed.

Should we save them?

No, there's no need.

Haruhiko made a decision quickly.

He has no relation to the Miyamoto family.

Furthermore, if they suffer a major blow now, it would undoubtedly be an opportunity for him, and also for the Utsunomiya clan.

As the saying goes, "When a whale falls, all things come to life."

Miyamoto was certainly a whale.

With the Utsunomiya clan allied with the Tsuchimikado clan, and Haruhiko having the advantage, securing a victory is not a problem.

Of course, whether he can become the one who reaps the rewards depends on the Snake Spirit's methods.

"As expected, he is a descendant of Miyamoto Musashi."

Gale's expression returned to normal, and he spoke with a cold, sarcastic tone.

Miyamoto Musashi is very famous in the history of Japan.

But opinions are polarized.

One theory is that he is the most powerful swordsman.

The second theory is that they are charlatans who steal fame and fortune, and are treacherous individuals.

Both are reflected in the game.

"Excellent."

Miyamoto Kiyuki didn't feel ashamed at all; instead, he responded with a smile.

"I have a condition."

Gale paused, then said, "After I have taught you, you must let me leave."

He answered the call, which was tantamount to being trapped inside this body.

"can."

Miyamoto Kiyuki immediately agreed.

His goal was the swordsmanship of Gale, not him.

"come here."

Jifeng slowly raised his hand.

Miyamoto Kiyuki did not hesitate and stepped forward.

The current Gale is only a third-tier swordsman.

No matter what ideas they have, they can't possibly harm him, a fifth-tier swordsman.

The gap between the two sides is too large, which is the source of his confidence.

The only miscalculation on Gale's part was that he answered the call.

After all, even the soul of a true strong person is free.

"I will first use my spiritual energy to transmit some of the information about swordsmanship to you."

Jifeng said calmly, "This body is only at the third level, barely able to do it."

Miyamoto Kiyuki ignored the second half of his sentence and waited expectantly for the legendary swordsmanship.

The reason he fixed his rank at the third level was because he was worried that Gale would be too powerful as the legends suggested, causing him to fail.

No matter what, it's impossible for him to lift the restrictions now.

With a blank expression, Jifeng slowly lowered his palm.

Just as he was about to reach Miyamoto Kiyuki's forehead, he suddenly exerted force.

Psychic energy shone in his hands.

Miyamoto Kiyuki sensed danger.

But it was only a trace.

"Lord Hayate, why bother?"

Miyamoto Kiyuki casually grabbed Hayate's wrist and said with a smile, "With your current strength, even if you have great supernatural powers, it will be difficult for you to pose much of a threat to me."

As a swordsman, the most important spiritual weapon is a sword.

But that doesn't mean he only had swords and knives.

He has many life-saving magical items on him.

Just as he said, Gale's divine power, which ignores rank, cannot harm him in a short time.

This period of time was enough for Miyamoto Kiyuki to activate the restrictions within his body, directly sealing his spiritual power and movement.

Without psychic power, supernatural abilities are useless.

Just then, a thick black mist appeared on Gale's right hand, which was being held captive.

Before Miyamoto Kiyuki could react, the sensation spread from his arm to his entire body.

He suddenly felt that he had lost control of his body.

"Who are you?!"

Miyamoto Kiyuki asked in astonishment.

The reason for asking this question is that the black mist and the gale have completely different characteristics, exuding a sense of coldness and despair.

Gale did not answer him.

Miyamoto Kiyuki's body trembled. He looked down and saw a knife.

It passed through his heart from behind.

"Uncle, I'm sorry."

A familiar voice sounded.

He is the leading figure among the younger generation of the Miyamoto family.

His most trusted nephew, Miyamoto Hashi.

"Bridge, what are you doing?"

Miyamoto Kiyuki asked, his face ashen.

"nothing."

Miyamoto Hashi said with a smile, "It's all for my lord."
