The Japanese-fear sorcerer who started by taking in Tomie

Xin Hengyuan's hand paused.

He turned around warily, his eyes quickly locking onto the direction from which the sound came, and threw the fireball in his hand.

In the night breeze, a slender figure had somehow appeared and was sitting on the windowsill.

The moonlight outlined her curvaceous figure, her long, jade-like legs swinging casually. She wore a light cherry-colored kimono, and her long, shimmering golden hair swayed gently in the night breeze, complementing her exquisitely beautiful face, which seemed almost unreal.

She simply turned her head casually and dodged the scorching fireball.

"Oh dear, that was close~" She tilted her head, her tone light and airy, almost like she was being coquettish, "I almost hit her~"

Xin Hengyuan remained vigilant, and the magic in his hands re-condensed.

"Who are you?"

Just now, because of the experience gained from Jorogumo, Shin Hengyuan leveled up to level 2, and his body's magic power increased from 3 points to 5 points.

Moreover, he also unleashed the magical wellspring hidden deep within his bloodline, giving rise to a special magical power that allows him to create various magical effects.

At the same time, due to the upgrade, Xin Hengyuan also awakened a new spell.

But now is not the time to study magic.

Shin Hengyuan sensed that the blonde woman in front of him was far more dangerous than Jorogumo!

"This humble servant?" She lightly jumped down from the windowsill, landing barefoot on the floor covered with broken glass, as if nothing had happened.

"I have many names, but people seem to prefer to call me a vixen, a scourge..." She paused, a meaningful smile appearing on her lips.

"But now my name is Tamamo-no-Mae!"

Tamamo-no-Mae tilted her head, her foxy eyes narrowed slightly, and a breeze rose behind her without any wind.

Nine fluffy golden tails spread out under the moonlight, like nine golden waterfalls, covering half the sky. Each tail was frighteningly large, and with each gentle sway, it stirred up gusts of demonic wind!

Xin Hengyuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Tamamo-mae!

This name is definitely familiar even to someone with limited knowledge of Japanese culture!

One of the three great yokai in Japanese legends, the legendary white-faced, golden-haired, nine-tailed fox queen Tamamo-no-Mae is said to have brought chaos to the court and captivated the nation!

She's not comparable to a powerful demon like Jorogumo.

He is truly at the pinnacle of the yokai world!

Xin Hengyuan subconsciously took a step back, his magic power surging wildly within him, and [Shield Spell] and [Constant Heart Pact] were instantly activated on him.

Normally, he would never use so much magic, because running out of magic is no joke; it would cause him to faint. If it were a safe place, it would be fine, but if it were a dangerous place…

But the presence before him made it impossible for him to conserve his magic power!

"Don't be nervous, kid~"

Tamamo-no-Mae slightly narrowed her alluring fox-like eyes, her nine tails swaying gently behind her.

"What are you going to do!" Shin Hengyuan stared intently at Tamamo-no-Mae, gritting his teeth and refusing to back down an inch.

But his back was already soaked in cold sweat.

How could a mere level 2 sorcerer like him possibly deal with a being of the Demon King Tamamo-no-Mae's caliber?

This script is wrong.

I'm fighting Tamamo-no-Mae? Really?

Although the magic was still slowly circulating within his body, and the [Shield Technique] and [Constant Heart Pact] had already been cast upon him, Shin Hengyuan knew that these two layers of protection were probably not much thicker than paper in front of Tamamo-no-Mae.

With his left hand behind his back, Xin Hengyuan quietly condensed an energy ball about four inches in size, within which surged violent lightning.

This is his most powerful attack spell to date, and it's also the spell he just awakened.

Known as a gold-devouring monster, [First-Circle Spell: Colorful Orb]!

Because the [Colorful Sphere] was originally a powerful spell that required diamonds to cast, but warlocks are naturally able to cast spells without materials, which is why New Hengyuan can cast it. Although its power is definitely inferior to the original version, it is still New Hengyuan's strongest trump card at present!

"Relax, boy. If I wanted to kill you, do you think you'd still be standing here?" Tamamo-no-Mae said with a smile, her tone as if she were coaxing a ruffled kitten.

Shin Hengyuan was well aware of the power gap between himself and a demon king like Tamamo-no-Mae, but he was never the kind of person who would give up at the first sign of danger.

Tamamo-no-Mae chuckled, pointed her index finger forward, and said softly, "Young man, you really are adorable."

Before she finished speaking, her figure vanished instantly and reappeared in front of Xin Hengyuan the next moment.

With her delicate hands, Tamamo-no-Mae gently exhaled a puff of mist towards him.

Almost at the same instant, Xin Hengyuan felt the magic power in his body being completely suppressed, and the colorful ball that had just been formed quietly dissipated due to the interruption of subsequent energy supply.

Tamamo-no-Mae pinched Shin Hengyuan's chin, her eyes filled with astonishment. "Half-demon? No, you're clearly human, so why do you have demonic power within you?"

She moved even closer, her golden pupils gleaming in the moonlight, looking at Xin Hengyuan as if she were examining a rare treasure.

"Young man, I'm very curious."

Demonic power? Magical power?

"I don't know." Shin Heng Yuan shut his mouth.

"Hehehe~ If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it." Tamamo-no-Mae chuckled and released Shin Hengyuan. "However, you can't kill this little spider."

Her tone was light and airy, yet carried an undeniable certainty.

Nine enormous golden tails swayed gently behind it, and its fox-like eyes curved into two crescent moons, as if it were smiling, or perhaps warning.

Damn it! We're still too weak!

Xin Hengyuan cursed himself inwardly, but his face remained expressionless.

If we don't kill him, then wouldn't all of Master Kongmu's life force have been drained for nothing?

But the disparity in strength between the two sides was obvious, so he could only swallow his anger.

Demon King Tamamo-no-Mae.

They are not someone he can negotiate with now.

Xinhengyuan secretly kept this score in mind.

"I am not an unreasonable person."

"Speaking of which, this little spider hid quite well. If it weren't for you, young man, I wouldn't have found it easily."

Tamamo-no-Mae waved her sleeve, and the Jorogumo lying on the ground was instantly enveloped by an unfamiliar power. A fist-sized egg slowly burst out of her abdomen and was put into Tamamo-no-Mae's sleeve.

"This is all I need."

Jorogumo's body gradually shrank, as if her last bit of strength had been drained away, shrinking into a tiny spider the size of a palm, lying on the ground, barely alive.

Another ball of pale golden energy was drawn from her body. With a wave of her hand, Tamamo-no-Mae sent the ball of pure energy into Shin Hengyuan's hand.

The Xinhengyuan feels warm to the touch.

"This is the essence she has absorbed during this period, most of which has not yet been refined."

Tamamo-no-Mae withdrew her hand and gave a rather strange smile.

"It's up to you now. By the way, this essence, after being transformed by Jorogumo, can be absorbed even by ordinary people. It may not add many years to your lifespan, but you should be able to live a carefree life for half your life."

Tamamo-no-Mae stretched lazily, her nine tails slowly folding together behind her.

She glanced at Jorogumo, who was huddled in the corner.

"As for this little spider, it has almost completely lost its demonic power and is no different from an ordinary spider. Whether you release it or kill it is up to you..."
