Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Haruhiko's eyes were wary as he gripped a blasting talisman.

[You have defeated the serpent demon Hidaka Yuki, gaining 50 points of spiritual energy.]

As the game notification sounded, Haruhiko secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A snake demon? It really is a monster.

But why not a basilisk monster, but a basilisk demon?

After Hidaka Yuki died, the eye on the top of her head also disappeared.

Hoshino Rin regained her mobility and walked a few steps to Haruhiko, her face showing obvious surprise.

Soul-related spells, like those related to time and space, are extremely rare.

How did Haruhiko get rid of it?

In fact, he didn't notice.

He initially thought it was a mental spell, but it was dispelled by Yukihime's snowball.

"and many more."

Haruhiko narrowed his eyes.

He kept staring at Hidaka Yuki's corpse.

Because of his previous experience, he didn't completely lose his vigilance even when the game gave him warnings.

Hoshino Rin glanced over instinctively, and her expression immediately changed.

Hidaka Yuki stood up again.

But it was no longer recognizable as a human.

Her entire body was covered in a dark purple light.

It's like a freshly made clay figure, exuding all sorts of eeriness.

Suddenly, a violent surge of psionic energy erupted within her body.

"The third stage?!"

Haruhiko's expression changed drastically; he was completely bewildered.

Why does death lead to advancement?

"firefly."

Hoshino Rin spoke without hesitation.

A gentle breeze swept by.

Hotaru Hoshino, wearing a hood, appears.

Haruhiko was stunned.

Is the person secretly protecting Hoshino Rin her younger sister, Hoshino Hotaru?

But does it really offer any protection?

Hoshino Rin and Hoshino Hotaru are twin sisters.

In other words, they are the same age.

Hoshino Rin's ability to become a second-tier priest at the age of eighteen is already a testament to her extraordinary talent.

Is Hoshino Hotaru a third-tier character?

Just as Haruhiko was wondering, Hoshino Hotaru extended her right hand, which was clenched into a fist.

Psychic energy swirled around her like a gentle breeze.

The hood was blown open, revealing a face that was exactly the same as Hoshino Rin's.

But her eyes were devoid of any emotion.

Hidaka Yuki paused for a moment, then immediately rushed towards her.

Hoshino Hotaru let go of his hand.

There is a red magatama in the palm of his hand.

The magatama flew out and disappeared into Hidaka Yuki's body.

She immediately stopped in her tracks.

The dark purple light on the surface quickly peeled off, revealing its true form inside.

A snake.

It opened its mouth and spoke in human language: "You have offended the great gods!"

As soon as the words were spoken, it turned to ashes.

"Ying, what happened to her?"

Hoshino Rin frowned and asked.

Hotaru Hoshino looked at her, her lips moving silently.

It should be lip reading.

Haruhiko looked around.

Apart from their expressions, the two sisters are no different.

After Hotaru Hoshino finished speaking, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Haruhiko's face.

Her lips curled into a stiff smile.

It was like the first time he smiled; it was so innocent and full of effort.

She vanished without a trace, leaving Haruhiko bewildered.

"God's messenger."

Hoshino Rin slowly spoke, "We killed a divine messenger."

"Angel?"

Haruhiko asked in confusion, "Didn't the gods disappear a long time ago?"

According to ancient records, the ruins of Takamagahara were the tomb of a god.

Hoshino Rin continued, "But the Grand Palace has been developed for hundreds of years without any results, so it is considered to be fake."

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

The appearance of the divine messenger means that this record is not unfounded.

"I must go back and inform my mother."

Hoshino Rin's expression was quite solemn.

Haruhiko wasn't that panicked.

His idea was that since advanced dungeons had already appeared, how could they stand still?

In the face of players, even a god is nothing to fear as long as he has a health bar.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, this god is probably half-dead.

However, judging from the snake demon's deduction, could it be that great one?

This refers to the legendary Yamata no Orochi.

"Don't worry too much."

Haruhiko analyzed, "This so-called divine messenger who has been transformed into a god is only at the second level, which means that his current strength is very weak."

In fact, as a game.

It's impossible for the developers to introduce players to invincible enemies prematurely.

Especially single-player games.

The most reasonable explanation is that this is a long-term, large-scale, multi-stage mission.

Haruhiko estimated that he might reach the fourth or fifth level before he would face the Yamata no Orochi head-on.

Hoshino Rin nodded upon hearing this.

But her expression remained serious.

In Japan, reverence for the gods is deeply ingrained in people's blood.

Haruhiko couldn't possibly dispel Hoshino Rin's concerns with just a few words.

We arrived at Nanyuan.

Rin Hoshino has basically returned to normal.
