Tokyo Wrestler

"Wow!!! Captain! Sett!! You two are amazing!!"

The flat-chested little witch who had been slacking off immediately ran over excitedly.

The fact that a Level 3 ability user was dealt with so swiftly and smoothly was something she had never dared to imagine before.

All of this was brought about by this genius mixed-race handsome guy who "speaks well, is handsome, and is strong"... The flat-chested little witch looked at Sett with increasing fondness.

The honest man Kameda, who was at the very back of the battlefield, also approached.

His eyes, rimmed with dark circles under his black-rimmed glasses, giving him the look of a typical office worker, were now staring at Sett in astonishment, quite shocked.

Because of his age, he has more experience than the other two younger members of Ito's team.

Therefore, he knew very well just how extraordinary a being would be to consistently unleash that attack, given Sett's level 2 cultivation...

Even the way of the samurai must be the best of the best!

However, the shock didn't last long.

Guided by his professional ethics as a master craftsman, he quickly approached the headless corpse of the fitness-enhancing superhuman, his eyes shining even brighter, and said, "This guy may have already developed a beast core."

Mythical Beast Crystal Core?

Upon hearing this, Sett also turned his gaze in curiosity.

As a superhuman breaks through the critical threshold and goes completely insane, transforming into a beast, a special material that carries a portion of their superhuman abilities will be produced within their body. This material is called the Beast Crystal Core, which is also the main core used in the creation of "modern spiritual artifacts" pioneered by mad scientists.

I wonder what this thing looks like? Is it like those magic crystals in the game? Sett observed Kameda's every move.

Chapter 40 The Three Noble Sons (4100 words)

Kazumitsu Kameda pulled out an iron pipe from somewhere, with flame patterns on it.

After pressing it twice, a bright red, high-temperature flame shot out from the top.

Then... he skillfully began to thaw the headless corpse of the superhuman, heating the surrounding ice to melt it...

"So pragmatic..." Sett couldn't help but mutter as he watched the other person's meticulous movements.

Ito Yumuri only has the ability to make ice, not to thaw it.

So after each battle, if you want to move a corpse, you either have to wait for the ice to melt on its own or roast it over a fire. This is Kazuhiro Kameda's daily routine.

He saw Sett staring at him.

Out of respect for genius, Kazumitsu Kameda worked as diligently as an ox, but rarely offered any explanation:

"This is a level 2 spiritual artifact that I made before, made from the crystal core of a fire-breathing beast. It can stably spew out flames of about 500 degrees for more than half an hour."

"As for side effects... I'll experience random bouts of internal heat for a period of time afterward, which could last for a few minutes or several days, it's all a matter of luck."

Such a simple and unpretentious side effect... Sett scored twice.

Seeing this, the flat-chested little shrine maiden next to her chuckled and said, "I remember there was a time when Kameda had a serious case of internal heat, and he needed me to treat his buttocks every day..."

When speaking.

The flat-chested little witch also sized up Captain Ito and Sett.

The former had almost no chance to get involved in direct combat, so he had no scars on his body.

But the latter...

Sett had obvious bruises on his arms and fists, and many thin wounds on his body, all left from his clash with the fitness psychic earlier.

So she immediately and skillfully came to Sett's side, stood on tiptoe, and gently placed her hands, which glowed with a milky white light, on Sett's arms.

He said, "Don't move yet, let me heal your wounds."

Sett looked down at the wound, which was noticeably less swollen under the milky-white light, and asked, "Is this the witch's power?"

He deliberately turned off his data processing at the end of the battle so that he would appear to be a normal person who could get hurt.

“Well, a level 2 priestess has four abilities: blessing, blessing reduction, purification, and healing. It’s a pity I’m not level 3 yet. If I were level 3, I could heal such a small wound in five seconds at most.” The flat-chested little priestess answered while gently rubbing Sett’s wound with her small hands.

Buddhist monks are tanks, warriors are squishy main DPS, priestesses are healers, and Hundred-Tailed Masters are support... Sett has truly experienced the wonders and main abilities of each path of a cultivator.

Aside from Onmyoji I haven't encountered yet.

"Hmm...why don't you sit down? You're too tall, my toes are getting sore from standing on them for so long," the flat-chested little witch suggested, her round eyes wide open.

There's quite a height difference between her and Sett.

"Oh, okay." Sett quickly sat down on the ice, letting the flat-chested little witch explore and treat him.

While he was healing, Kameda and Hikaru were passionately breaking the ice.

Ito Yumuri wasn't idle either. She put away her katana and paced towards the interior of the lake, her limpid eyes constantly scanning the area, as if searching for something.

"...What abilities do high-ranking priestesses have? I think I've heard you say they can make contracts with spirits and gods." Sett looked at the busy, flat-chested little priestess and, since he was just idling around anyway, decided to chat and asked.

The flat-chested little witch pecked her head and answered:

"Yes, witches at levels 1-3 of the Transcendent Realm mainly focus on support. At level 3, they can fight head-on to some extent, but there is still a significant gap compared to other methods."

"At level 4, after entering the Origin Realm, the priestess can contract with spirits and gods, instantly gaining super strong combat abilities."

"The priestess who casts the summoning spell is the strongest being of the same level!" the flat-chested little priestess said proudly.

Is that so... You'll have to see if my deliberate punch agrees with that... Sett thought for a moment and asked, "Are the spirits the ones that are worshipped at shrines every day?"

"Not entirely. Most of the spirits worshipped at shrines are not strong enough. Generally, we shrine maidens can only contract with about thirty-two spirits."

"Only this much?" Sett was surprised.

After all, Japan is a country that is said to have eight million gods.

"Yes... it's still a matter of strength. The power of the spirits mainly depends on the amount of incense they receive. The more abundant the incense offerings, the stronger the spirit, and the stronger the priestess who contracts with it." The flat-chested little priestess replied.

Incense offerings determine the strength of spirits and deities.

“No wonder Amaterasu is called the strongest demon god,” Sett said.

Amaterasu, the sun goddess, is considered the ancestor of the Japanese emperors in legend. She enjoys the highest level of popularity, renown, and religious devotion in Japan.

"Yes, Amaterasu is the number one demon that priestesses can contract with, followed by Tsukuyomi and Susanoo, who respectively control the light of the sun, the illusion of the night, and the thunder of the ocean."

"The three of you are the three strongest demons. Because you are all the children of Izanagi and Izanami, you are also known as the Three Noble Children."

At this point, a hint of anticipation flickered in the flat-chested little witch's eyes.

She said, "If only I could sign a contract with one of the Three Noble Children, then I could become a genius priestess that everyone envies!"

"Yes... that Yasha-hime who only joined the Heavenly Pillar a year ago, didn't she already sign a contract with Amaterasu?" Sett echoed.

Upon hearing this, the flat-chested little witch shook her head and said:

"No, Lady Yasha-hime is a peerless genius who is rare even in thousands of years."

"Currently, there are only two people in the entire Shinto priestess path who have signed a contract with Amaterasu Omikami. One is the current Princess Motoko, a 9th-rank priestess of Ise Grand Shrine, and the other is Princess Yasha."

“From the mythological era, which is many years before the first emperor, Emperor Jimmu, there have been no more than ten Shinto priestesses who have been favored by Amaterasu Omikami since records began.”

"No more than ten people... that's so few."

"Yes, so when Lady Yasha-hime was able to form a contract with Amaterasu, it truly shocked all of us priestesses." The flat-chested priestess circled Sett a few times, and after seeing that all the wounds had been healed, she nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, all treatments are complete!"

Sergiev started to move around a bit.

"The damage from chemotherapy is much slower than my data suggests..." he muttered to himself.

The hardworking office worker, Kameda, who was diligently breaking the ice like an ox, finally cracked the thick block of ice and was now using a small knife to continuously slash at the chest of the headless corpse of the superhuman.

As Sett approached.

Kazumitsu Kameda finally managed to extract the "trophy" from the headless corpse.

This is a round gemstone the size of a grape, shimmering with an earthy yellow luster.

"It really does look similar to the magic crystals in Western fantasy games..." Se asked, "Is this the alien beast crystal core?"

"Hmm." Kazumitsu Kameda patiently wiped away the blood with his sleeve, and after observing carefully for a while, he said, "Every completely insane superhuman will most likely have such a crystal core inside their heart."

"Based on my experience, I believe the ability of this crystal core is also related to physical enhancement."

He pondered for a moment.

Looking up at Sett, he said, "I can help you make a spirit artifact. The quality of this crystal core is quite good. I'm 60% confident I can make a level 3 spirit artifact... Do you have any special requirements regarding the shape of the spirit artifact?"

Sett showed off his fist and said, "Gloves, brass knuckles or something like that will do."

Then Se asked, "You can't make it with just this one crystal core, can you?"

"Yes, the creation of each spiritual artifact requires a large amount of auxiliary materials. Excellent materials that are compatible with the crystal core can significantly enhance the effect of the spiritual artifact and reduce its side effects."

Kazumitsu Kameda looked up. "Of course, it's also more expensive."

Expensive? Considering his net worth of over thirty million, Sett patted his chest and said, "How much? I'll transfer it to you later."

Kazumitsu Kameda carefully calculated in his mind and said, "If we upgrade everything to the top level, it will probably cost more than 20 million... A more ordinary one will only cost seven or eight million."

Sett remained silent.

Excuse me, but I still think fighting with bare hands is the true romance of men.
