Crossover Anime: Starting from Soul Society and Slicing Through All Worlds

Chapter 75 Why not just blow up the shrine?

"They are Demon-Sealing Birds, a very rare type of magical beast. Wherever they exist, they can hinder anything related to magic."

Whether it's a barrier, magic, or even magical artifacts, they all lose their effectiveness in front of them.

Why would a magical beast like the Demon-Sealing Bird appear in a place like this?

Hearing the commotion, Cui, Meibeilu, and Alicia also ran out wearing women's bathrobes.

And Cui, who was the most knowledgeable, even named the strange bird-like monsters in the sky.

There were seven people present. Among them, Yosuke Shima and Alicia were pure mages, and Mebel fought with the divine weapon, the Frozen God Sword.

In other words, as long as the Demon-Sealing Bird is present, these three are practically useless weaklings.

As for Lyca and Edgar, without magical enhancements, their strength is utterly pathetic. They would struggle to deal with flying demon-sealing birds, let alone ordinary magical beasts.

Cui's situation wasn't much better. Although she knew a certain level of swordsmanship, she wasn't exactly an expert.

In normal times, Cui mostly relies on the combination of magic and ancient relics in battle, which means that under the influence of the Demon-Sealing Bird, her strength is definitely less than one-tenth of what it used to be.

"You can handle those small monsters, but I'll take care of those demon-sealing birds."

Having spent several years together, Ye Cheng and Cui had developed an unspoken understanding. With just a simple exchange of glances, they could understand each other perfectly and take action simultaneously.

The Demon-Sealing Bird is not a weak magical beast, and it also has the ability to seal magic power. Therefore, even experienced adventurer teams will easily be defeated when they encounter a flock of Demon-Sealing Birds.

Alicia's "Wand of Salvation" originally possessed a more advanced dispelling magic than the Demon-Sealing Bird.

However, by the time she figured out the correct way to use the wand and activated the Sanctuary to restore everyone's magic power, Night City had already sheathed his sword and stood there, surrounded by the corpses of the Demon-Sealing Birds.

"It's strange. Aren't Demon-Sealing Birds usually only found in ancient ruins or lost forests? Why are there so many Demon-Sealing Birds here?"

The Demon-Sealing Bird is very rare, even as rare as the Wyvern. It is rare to see it appear in a group in one place, so Cui finds this very strange.

"Could it be because we took the ancient artifacts from that site before?"

Upon hearing Cui's words, Meibeilu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up and remind her.

Quite coincidentally, the mountain where Cui and Meibeilu went to find the ancient artifacts is not far from here.

The transformable longsword in Cui's hand is the ancient relic they found this time.

Could it be that the Demon-Sealing Bird flew out from that ancient ruin and followed the aura of the ancient artifacts all the way to the 'Purgatory Hot Spring'?

It's not entirely impossible, but the Demon-Sealing Bird is special. Even if it came from the ruins they explored, ancient relics alone shouldn't have such an attraction for them.

"Are there any other ancient ruins or ancient sites around here?"

Cui considered a possibility, then turned to the innkeeper beside her and asked, "I haven't heard of any ruins or ancient sites, but there's a shrine nearby that's said to have existed here for a very long time..."

Upon hearing Cui's question, the hotel owner honestly replied that he had been running the hotel for many years since his elders took over the business, and nothing like what happened today had ever occurred before.

After learning that the Demon-Sealing Bird and the magical beasts might have come because of Night City and the others, all they wanted to do was get rid of these jinxes as soon as possible, and they didn't even want the money.

"The Shrine of the Gods? Isn't that what we're looking for? Where is that place?"

Not only Yosuke Shima, but Yoshiro was also quite interested in the so-called shrine.

Whether or not a demon king exists in this world is another matter, but gods should certainly exist, since both he and Yosuke Shima received a power-up from the "God of Another World" when they first arrived in this world.

Since the other party has the ability to bring them to this world, they might also have the ability to send Yosuke Shima back.

Following the directions given by the hotel owner, the group from Night City, fully prepared and ready to depart, finally found the so-called "shrine of the gods" on a nearby hilltop after several hours of searching.

From the outside, the shrine looks quite ordinary. It has no luxurious decorations and is not even a decent building. It is just a simple building made of some stones.

But though small, it has all the essential parts. Although the shrine is simple, it has both statues of gods and offering tables for worship.

After circling the so-called "shrine of the gods" again and again, Yosuke and Yoshiro couldn't find anything special about it. Finally, they suggested that they try destroying the "shrine of the gods" to see what would happen.

However, the two's remarks startled Cui and Alicia, who were standing nearby.

"Are you two insane? No matter how simple this 'shrine of the gods' may be, it still contains divine power. Your actions will incur divine retribution!"

Destroying a shrine to the gods is something most ordinary people wouldn't even dare to think about, but Yoshiro and Yosuke Shima actually thought of trying to destroy it.

Smashing up the place where gods are worshipped, what's the difference between that and directly provoking the gods?

"The shrine houses divine power? That's even better. Perhaps with this powerful divine power, we can be sent back to our original world?"

"Divine power? So far, apart from that so-called god from another world, I haven't seen any other gods in this world. Should I summon it and give it a try?"

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have chickened out by now because of what Cui just said.

However, the crux of the matter is that the two humans in front of her cannot be categorized as "ordinary people" at all.

Upon hearing that destroying the "Shrine of the Gods" would incur the wrath of the gods and that they would face attacks from the raging divine power, Yoru and Shima Yosuke were not afraid at all; instead, they became even more excited.

Yosuke Shima wanted to use the powerful divine force to see if he could find a way back.

As for Night City, they wanted to see just how much the so-called divine power really amounted to.

To be honest, ever since his cheat system was upgraded and power sharing was enabled, he really can't find many opponents in this world who can fight him.

Since the Demon King hasn't made his appearance yet, we can only test our mettle against the so-called gods. And even if we can't defeat them, with their current strength, they should be more than capable of retreating safely.

The shrine only houses divine power, not the gods themselves. He's even called the "Son of God," so he has absolutely no reason to back down.
