The next day, Lynn got up early, which was unusual for him.

Because he planned to subdue all the shikigami except for Moxu Luo today.

According to the original work, the ten shadow magic spells passed down in the Zenin family correspond to ten shikigami, and they can only be used after a subjugation ritual is performed and the shikigami is defeated.

Furthermore, the subjugation ritual will not succeed if there are outsiders participating besides the sorcerer.

However, Lynn has a natural advantage in subduing shikigami.

Unlike the sorcerer in the original work, he has two spells at his disposal.

With their current top-tier combat power, aside from the still uncertain Demon Void Demon, the other shikigami can be easily captured.

……

Three hours later, deep in a remote forest.

Shunping got out of the car, looked at the boss, and asked:

"Boss, did we go all this way to deal with some dangerous cursed spirit?"

"No, it's my private matter."

Lynn straightened his suit cuffs and took the black cane, the Golden Law, from the trunk of the car.

This was a secluded spot that Lynn had deliberately chosen.

Lynn brought Shunping along simply because she was too lazy to drive.

What kind of boss drives himself?

He pointed to his shadow at his feet and smiled:

"Shunping, step outside the barrier and don't interfere with anything you see."

"Yes."

Shunping obediently retreated to a tree trunk a hundred meters away.

Lynn stood in the open clearing in the woods and took a deep breath.

"Let's start with something simple to warm up."

Lynn put one hand in his pocket and casually formed a hand seal with his right hand, as the cursed power within his body surged into the shadows along a specific path.

"Subdue—[the toad]."

Glug—!

Accompanied by a deep, thunderous croak, the shadow on the ground suddenly rose up and transformed into a mass of pitch-black fluid.

Immediately afterwards, a giant frog shikigami, as big as a small car, leaped out from it.

The power of a shikigami is bound to the caster.

The toad that Fukuro Megumi summoned was only half a person tall, but in Lynn's place it was the size of a small car.

In its untamed, berserk state, the toad's murky eyes instantly locked onto the only living creature in front of it.

Whoosh!

Without the slightest pause, a long, pink tongue, like a high-pressure water gun fired from a gun, carrying a nauseating stench and kinetic energy powerful enough to pierce steel plates, hurtled straight toward Lynn's face.

"Tsk tsk."

Lynn stood still, without even blinking.

Just as the long tongue was about to touch the tip of his nose, he moved.

His left hand was covered with a thin layer of magical power, and it shot out at a speed that could not be detected by the naked eye, and actually grabbed the slippery and fast-moving long tongue!

Snapped!

A crisp sound burst through the air.

The enormous kinetic energy was instantly neutralized by Lynn's super-grade physique, which had been enhanced by the system. The wind ruffled his bangs, but his leather shoes didn't even budge an inch.

"Its strength is decent; it's good for controlling grunts."

Lynn made a casual comment.

The next second, his arm muscles suddenly tensed up.

"Come here...!"

boom!

A terrifying burst of superhuman strength.

The enormous toad was lifted off the ground by Lynn like a yo-yo!

The giant frog's body traced a helpless arc through the air before crashing heavily into the mud at Lynn's feet, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Before the toad could even struggle to its feet, a cold cane was already pressed against its forehead.

【Ten-Stroke Spell】

"Pfft."

The toad let out a weak croak, its body rapidly disintegrating into a docile puddle that flowed back to Lynn's feet.

[Subduing successful.]

Shunping, watching from afar, was dumbfounded.

That's a shikigami with level two or even near-level one strength! The boss killed it instantly?

"Relax, next."

Just as Lynn was about to continue subduing, he suddenly felt a restriction from the spell.

Only after careful observation did he realize this.

There needs to be a buffer period between the two subjugation rituals.

"It will take about half an hour."

Lynn scratched his head in frustration; this was somewhat out of his plans.

He could sense that the intervals required for taming would become longer as time went on.

It seems unlikely that the process of subduing them can be completed today.

……

"Thump!"

With a dull thud.

A terrifying, white serpent, as thick as two people could hug, crashed to the ground.

The smoke and dust cleared.

Lynn placed one foot on the snake's head and elegantly flicked non-existent dust off his cane.

The giant snake beneath his feet rolled its eyes, completely powerless to resist, and let out a whimper of submission.

[Subduing successful.]

"call……"

Lynn let out a soft breath.

He glanced at the time.

Less than ten minutes had passed.

Shunping, who was in the distance, was completely numb.

He watched as the giant serpent, which resembled a mythical creature, obediently turned into a shadow and disappeared, gaining a new understanding of the boss's strength.

According to Lynn's experience, the next subjugation ceremony would be held two hours later.

So he ordered Shunping to bring the camping equipment that was in the car.

With the help of Shunpei's jellyfish tentacles, the campsite was set up, and the hot pot began to bubble and steam.

Lynn picked up a slice of freshly cooked Wagyu beef, stuffed it into her mouth while it was still hot, and the rich fat exploded in her mouth.

While enjoying the hot pot, Shunping asked curiously, "Boss, how come you know the Zen family's ancestral techniques? Are you perhaps a member of the Zen family?"

Lynn chuckled softly.

"Of course not, don't ask me anything."

Shunping said "oh" and then asked another question.

"So, you promised Xia Youjie that day to revive Su Nuo, are you really going to do it? Su Nuo doesn't sound like a good person at all."

"Of course, this kind of restraint is no joke."

Lynn pursed her lips.

"Moreover, I originally intended to revive Su Nuo."

Under Shunping's surprised gaze, Lynn shrugged.

"I'm a businessman. I don't care who I'm trading with; I only care about how much profit I can make."

"Resurrecting Sunu will lead me to a future that is more suitable for me."

After speaking, looking at Shunping who was trembling slightly, Lynn still smiled and said:

"However, businessmen are still human after all."

"I can make a deal with cursed spirits, but I will never side with them."

……

Two hours later.

It was already dark.

Lynn stood up and stretched her neck.

"Next up is Nue."

This shikigami is a very useful shikigami in the original work.

It solved the problem that sorcerers couldn't fly.

Moreover, it can also unleash lightning, making it a genki with excellent value for money.

Lynn crossed his hands, forming the shape of a flying bird.

"Come out for some fresh air, [Nue]."

Brutality—!

A sharp, piercing cry instantly tore through the sky.

A strange bird with a human-faced mask and its body crackling with violent orange-red electricity soared into the sky.

After the Nue appeared, it did not charge blindly like the previous two, but instinctively sensed the danger of the man on the ground.

It cunningly climbed to a great height, hovering at a height of 100 meters, and then flapped its wings.

Zizizi!

Countless feathers wrapped with high-voltage current poured down like a torrential rain!

"Oh? Would you like to fly a kite?"

Lynn strolled leisurely through the thunder and rain, dodging the strange bird high above.

"You're quite smart."

"However..."

Lynn suddenly snapped his fingers.

"Your good brother just happened to be here to deal with you!"

The shadows were boiling.

The previously subdued Orochi has reappeared!

But this time, it wasn't for attacking; instead, it coiled and compressed its massive body, like a super spring poised to unleash its power.

Lynn stepped onto the giant snake's head, his legs slightly bent.

"Take me up!"

The giant serpent's terrifying muscle power erupted instantly, launching it forward like a catapult!

Whoosh!

Lynn transformed into a black lightning bolt, instantly traversing a vertical distance of a hundred meters, and appeared above Nue as if defying the laws of physics!

A hint of fear seemed to appear on Nue's eerie human-face mask.

It tried to flap its wings and escape, but it was too late.

Lynn raised his cane high, unleashing his super-grade magical power without reservation.

"Get down here!"
