Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Haruhiko immediately understood.

Just like a spatial ring.

It looks small from the outside, but it's actually quite big.

The so-called "inner universe" is something else entirely.

Following the sound, Haruhiko saw a figure a kilometer to the north.

They are wielding katanas and fighting a group of snake-like monsters.

More accurately, the snakes surrounded them.

Centered on them, all around were densely packed, dark masses.

It's a nightmare for people with trypophobia.

"No wonder it took so long."

Haruhiko took a deep breath and asked, "How can there be so many snakes?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro wiped his eyes with his finger.

A golden light emerged.

"All snakes are spirits."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro said with some surprise, "They are all being controlled."

"Being controlled?"

Minami Utsunomiya couldn't help but ask, "With such numbers and strength, are they controlled by fifth-tier Great Demons?"

"In terms of spiritual energy intensity, it is indeed a fifth-tier great demon."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro chuckled and said, "That's quite rare."

Chapter 258. Tengshe

Haruhiko truly hadn't expected that a fifth-tier great demon existed within the ruins.

He was very glad that he had brought Tsuchimikado Mari and Tsuchimikado Mashiro with him.

If it were just the Utsunomiya clan, they might all be wiped out, which would be a waste of his efforts.

"Does this fifth-tier great demon prove that this ruin is related to Abe no Seimei?"

Haruhiko had a sudden thought and asked.

Abe no Seimei was the most powerful Onmyoji in history.

Its shikigami is naturally at the fifth rank.

Haruhiko had heard of a shikigami called Tengu during his first playthrough.

There was a huge swarm of snakes in front of us; it might be the snake in question.

"It's the Tengshe (a mythical serpent)."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro suddenly said with some excitement.

As a descendant of Abe no Seimei, she also knew a little about his shikigami (spirits/spirits).

The only pity is that his shikigami (spirits) were not passed down.

the reason is simple.

The later generations weren't strong enough.

Abe no Seimei's shikigami are all fifth-tier great demons.

Ordinary fifth-tier psionicists would look down on them.

Unless one is a powerful figure like Abe no Seimei.

But such a person is extremely rare, appearing only once every thousand years.

The shikigami eventually left the Abe clan, or rather the Tsuchimikado clan.

In Japanese legends, the Tengshe is a winged snake with great power.

Should we go find it now?

Haruhiko asked, looking at Kawasaki in the midst of the battle.

He naturally had no intention of rescuing them.

Instead, they harbored the intention to take advantage of the chaos.

However, they will have to wait until they are exhausted.

Besides that, we also have to deal with these snakes.

"I located it based on the intensity of its psionic energy."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro paused, then asked in confusion, "But as a fifth-tier great demon, why is he so conspicuous? He doesn't try to hide his presence at all."

"Maybe it's just his personality."

Mari Tsuchimikado casually remarked, "Some powerful demons are rather arrogant, believing that with their strength, there's no need for them to hide."

"You'll know when you see it."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro didn't say anything more.

She turned and walked to the left side of the plain.

The plains are not desolate; green plants can be seen from time to time.

Unfortunately, they were all ordinary plants, with no rare or precious natural treasures.

Haruhiko secretly complained, "He's supposed to be Abe no Seimei, how come he's not rich at all?"

But he soon realized he had spoken too soon.

After walking for a few minutes, a forest appeared before them.

Before they could make a move, they heard a whooshing sound.

The forest rustled, and then a dark shadow appeared.

Like a torrential downpour, it fell from the sky.

Haruhiko looked closely and realized it was a swarm of snakes.

But unlike those outside, they have wings on their backs.

Without saying a word, Tsuchimikado Mari raised her hand and waved it.

Flames shot into the air, growing larger with the wind, and in an instant, a sea of ​​fire formed right in front of them.

Haruhiko reacted too slowly and lost the monster.

But he still tried throwing out several Fiery Dragon Talismans.

The spell was torn apart in the flames.

The psionic energy surged forth and transformed into several giant dragons.

Thanks to the fire created by Tsuchimikado Mari, they were a size larger than usual.

Upon appearing in the air, it headed towards the swarm of snakes.

Tsuchimikado Mari glanced at Haruhiko.

In her memory, this wasn't the first time he had stolen monsters.

Although she didn't quite understand, she still slightly reduced the flames, allowing Haruhiko's fire dragon to hit its target.

A game notification sounded.

Haruhiko was slightly startled.

There are a total of 1,200 points.

If it weren't for the wrong location, he would definitely repay Tsuchimikado Mari properly.

Haruhiko continued throwing talismans, as if they were free.

A few minutes later, the entire snake swarm was wiped out.

A third of the forest in front of us will be burned down, billowing thick smoke.

"follow me."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro spoke up.

In the battle just now, only Tsuchimikado Mari and Haruhiko made a move.

The rest of the people stood still and watched.

the reason is simple.

Tsuchimikado Mari can handle it all by herself.
