Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Regardless, I must go and see the Takamagahara ruins.

If it weren't for it, the situation would be even more complicated.

Aoi Hoshino came to her senses amidst the ruins.

She put away the pearl and instructed, "The surrounding area is quite large; there should be other things there. Go and check the surrounding area."

In terms of area alone, this site is quite spacious.

The platform occupied by Ashiya Dōman's body is less than one-tenth of the total area.

Clearly, when he chose this place, there was already a ruin there.

He simply modified and reused it, making it unrecognizable as it was originally.

"Yes."

The shrine maidens scattered, leaving only Hoshino Aoi and Hoshino Hotaru behind.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro immediately understood.

She wanted to know how Haruhiko broke the illusion and what that divine artifact was.

"You guys go too."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro waved his hand.

The members of the Tsuchimikado clan also left the platform.

Only Tsuchimikado Mari remained.

The four people exchanged glances, and sparks seemed to fly between them.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro and Tsuchimikado Mari also noticed that Hoshino Hotaru's aura was not inferior at all.

She is already at the fifth level.

Although they knew that the successor of the Izumo Shrine was destined to be at the fifth rank, their young age was truly a surprise.

And why can one advance in rank within illusion magic?

They had clearly sensed that Hoshino Hotaru was still some distance from reaching the fifth rank.

What exactly happened?

Haruhiko felt a chill run down his spine.

What a bizarre scene of carnage!

"Cough cough."

Haruhiko coughed twice.

All four people looked at him at the same time.

Fortunately, their gazes were no longer as tense as before.

After all, it's impossible for Tsuchimikado Mari and Hoshino Hotaru to glare at him like that.

This also applies to Hoshino Aoi.

"This sword is a Totsuka-no-Tsurugi."

Haruhiko immediately threw out a huge surprise, diverting their attention.

"Ten-Fist Sword?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Is it the Totsuka Sword from mythology?"

The true meaning of "ten fist sword" is a sword as long as ten fists.

Historically, several versions of this weapon have been released, almost forming a series.

But there is only one true Ten-Fist Sword.

It's the weapon used by Izanagi and Susanoo, and it's also the nemesis of Yamata no Orochi.

"Ah."

Haruhiko handed the Totsuka Sword to Tsuchimikado Mashiro, saying, "Aunt Mashiro, you'll see for yourself."

With her strength, she could naturally sense its power.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro nodded, took it in his hand, and his expression gradually changed.

Like Hoshino Aoi, she had also seen some divine artifacts.

But none can compare to the Ten-Fist Sword.

To be honest, although Totsuka Sword has few skills, each one is outrageous.

Illusion magic goes without saying; just now, three fifth-tier psionicists, and the top-tier ones at that, were trapped inside and unable to escape.

The Sword of the Gods and the Nine Swords of Godslayer are also extremely rare and powerful.

Upon reaching the sixth level, the body undergoes a qualitative change, achieving true immortality.

Ordinary magical artifacts can't even wound them, let alone kill them.

The wounds inflicted by the Ten-Fist Sword were so severe that even the gods could not heal them.

This skill is truly incredible.

The only questionable point is whether this effect can be applied to a powerful deity like Amaterasu.

Chapter 284. The Sister-in-Law's Assistance

Tsuchimikado Mashiro snapped out of her daze and frowned slightly.

Her initial thought was that if Haruhiko liked it, she would pay a price to help him obtain the sword.

This site is a collaboration between Izumo Shrine and the Tsuchimikado clan.

She couldn't ignore the thoughts of Hoshino Aoi and the others.

After all, Izumo Shrine and the Tsuchimikado clan were evenly matched.

Haruhiko's possession of the sword was so obvious that Hoshino Aoi had already noticed it, making it impossible for him to keep it for himself.

But to everyone's surprise, this sword was the legendary Totsuka Sword.

Its value is astonishing.

If she were Hoshino Aoi, she would never let go.

No, it should be said that she would never give up the Totsuka Sword to the Izumo Shrine.

This is really troublesome.

But Tsuchimikado Mashiro has always been a man of his word.

She casually tossed the Totsuka Blade in her hand to Hoshino Aoi.

Since we're going to look at it, everyone has to take a look.

Hoshino Aoi is usually quite aloof and expressionless.

However, after coming into contact with the Totsuka Sword, I was still somewhat surprised.

Previously, it was all speculation; only by actually getting your hands on it can you truly understand its magic.

"How do you plan to distribute this sword?"

After waiting a moment, Tsuchimikado Mashiro asked.

"Unable to allocate".

Hoshino Aoi shook her head and said calmly, "Let's leave it to Haruhiko for now."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro was stunned.

When did you become so generous?

No, why are you being so nice to Haruhiko?

Tsuchimikado Mashiro gritted her teeth.

Why does she feel like everyone is trying to steal Haruhiko from her?

She wasn't late at all.

What do you think?

Hoshino Aoi glanced at her and said, "I don't trust you with this. You don't trust me with this either. So why not give it to Haruhiko? Everyone will feel at ease then."

"..."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro felt that what he said was strange, but it was indeed true.

She was not at ease with Hoshino Aoi.

"That's fine."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro nodded and said, "The rest will be divided equally."
