The Japanese-fear sorcerer who started by taking in Tomie

Eight feet watched helplessly as the swastika that had suppressed her for hundreds of years flew towards her once again.

She tried to shield herself with her hair, but it was burned to ashes the moment it touched the Buddha's light.

She tried to run away, but the Sanskrit characters around her ankle lit up again, pinning her to the spot.

Eight feet tall, fair hand stretched out, desperately trying to block the swastika, but it was no less futile than a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

In the end, Ba Chi was completely engulfed by the golden light and slammed heavily into the ground. The swastika symbol sealed her tightly, and no matter how much she struggled, she could not break free.

"Benefactor, why aren't you going yet?" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suddenly reminded him.

Xin Hengyuan then rushed over to Ba Chi, only to find Ba Chi looking very aggrieved, with red eyes and a pouting mouth.

"Son, Mom never hit that bald monk. Remember to come visit me often when you have time."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: ...

Ba Chi naturally assumed that he would be locked back in that dark and hopeless seal, listening to that old bald monk chanting scriptures day after day.

The future looks bleak!

"Mom, don't worry." Xin Hengyuan squatted down, smiled at Ba Chi, and said, "I've made an appointment with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to take you away."

"Really?" Hachi raised his eyebrows, his face full of disbelief. That old bald monk, would he really do that?

"Of course it's true, you can ask the Bodhisattva if you don't believe me." Xin Hengyuan patted his chest.

Therefore, Ba Chi turned his gaze to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

"Amitabha, well said, well said. From now on, Ba Chi will follow the new benefactor and must not continue to do evil." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva naturally nodded and returned to his previous kind and benevolent expression.

"My benefactor, it is time."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva reminded him again.

Shin Hengyuan nodded, indicating that he understood, then turned to Hachi and said gently, "It might hurt a little, just bear with it."

"Mmm!!" Hachiko looked at Shin Hengyuan with a face full of doting affection, wishing he could put him back into his womb... Such a good child, he wished he could give birth to him himself...

At this moment, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who possesses the ability of "telepathy," silently shifted his gaze: ...

Amitabha Buddha, I hope that the new benefactor will not regret it in the future.

Shin Hengyuan held the Heavenly Feather Blade horizontally in front of him, took down the crimson gourd, and whispered something.

"Shuten-dōji seals the demon!"

The gourd visibly grew larger, and its mouth suddenly opened wide. The enormous suction force turned the eight feet along with the swastika seal into white mist and swept them into the gourd.

The gourd stopper automatically returned to its original position, and the outer shell returned to calm. However, a ring of small golden characters appeared around the gourd, and a swastika symbol appeared in the very center of the gourd.

[Shuten-dōji Seals the Demon - Sealing Successfully]

[Defeat the Eight-Foot Master, experience +13000]

How many!

How much did you say?!

Xin Hengyuan was dumbfounded and almost shouted out loud. Although he only added a seal at the last moment, the system had obviously blamed him for everything.

Awesome, so awesome!

The magic power within his body suddenly surged, his level jumped from level 4 to level 5, and his experience bar was filled by nearly half again!

[6340/14000]

New knowledge of magic also flooded into his mind.

Congratulations on learning the third-circle spell, Crusader Cloak!

Congratulations on mastering the third-circle spell, Slow.

At the same time, Shin Hengyuan felt a subtle change in the Tenyu Habakiri in his hand, and quickly used the [Appraisal] technique on it again.

He felt that after absorbing the "卍" seal of the Eight-Foot Man and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the sword seemed to have undergone a new change!

[Tian Yu Yu Zhan·Third Generation Replica]

[Any Sword/Rare]

……

Nothing had changed before. Xin Hengyuan only glanced at it briefly. The most significant change was the addition of a fourth effect.

【4•卍卍封魔: This sword has three charges. You can use an action that consumes one charge to wield the sword and unleash a sword aura at a target within 15 feet, dealing 2d8 Radiant damage on hit. Three charges are restored each day at midnight.】

This weapon now has ranged damage added; 2d8 damage is quite high, and it doesn't consume your mana.

Anyway, Xin Hengyuan was very satisfied. For him, who was extremely short of mana, any skill that could cause damage without mana was a good skill.

"If only I could have another Supreme Slash!" Shin Hengyuan was daydreaming again.

However, this new Hengyuan is already content.

This one wave alone is worth more than a long period of grinding.

It's a huge windfall! It's a huge windfall!

Immediately afterwards, Xin Hengyuan turned around and bowed to the still-present Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, staring intently at him, his intentions all too clear.

"Haha, please step forward, benefactor," Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said with a smile.

Xin Hengyuan took two steps forward, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva reached out and placed his hand on Xin Hengyuan's head. Instantly, a strange scripture resounded in his head.

Thus have I heard: Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, in the netherworld, liberates sentient beings. Seeing the immeasurable suffering of evil spirits, he felt compassion... He vowed not to become a Buddha until hell is empty, and only after all sentient beings have been liberated will he attain Bodhi.

You have mastered the Three-Ring Spell: The Sutra of Hell's Salvation

The Sutra of Salvation from Hell

[3rd Ring/Spell]

[Spellcasting Components: Speech (must recite the Hell Sutra)]

[Effect: You recite the sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's salvation, influencing a creature with boundless compassion. Select a visible creature within range as your target. It must make a save throw for perception. If the target's save throw fails, it will be in the "Influenced" state. During this time, the target cannot perform offensive actions or cast damaging spells.]

[Furthermore, you gain an advantage on all charm checks that involve persuading, deceiving, or intimidating the target.]

[Circle Upgrade Effect: When you cast this spell with 4th or higher level of magic, for every level above 3, the target's initial and subsequent saving throws are reduced by 1d4.]

Xin Hengyuan nodded in satisfaction. This was essentially a high-end version of "Bewitching Humans".

[Charming Humans] After the spell ends, one will realize that they have been charmed, but they will not be able to be influenced or redeemed.

Buddhism truly excels at brainwashing.

"Amitabha Buddha, this old monk should be leaving now."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva clasped his hands together, a faint smile on his kind and benevolent face.

"Benefactor, I hope we will meet again someday."

Xin Hengyuan also put his hands together and said respectfully.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Bodhisattva."

"I hope that when we meet again, it won't be in hell, hahahaha." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said with a half-joking laugh, his hearty laughter echoing throughout the entire hall.

"Hahaha, of course not," Shin Heng Yuan replied with a laugh.

"Amitabha."

With a serene Buddhist chant, the golden body of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva transformed into specks of golden light and slowly dissipated from mid-air. The wooden carving, having lost its support, plummeted straight down from the sky.

It hit Xin Hengyuan squarely on the forehead before he could even retract his hand.

"Bang!"

Judging from the sound, it's a good start.

Xin Hengyuan covered his forehead and picked up the wooden carving from the ground. The small Buddha still had lowered eyes and a compassionate expression, just like before.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"What a rascal! He's definitely doing this on purpose!"

Then Shin Hengyuan raised his head, looked at Tomie and Kiyotsuki beside him, and waved.

"Time to go home!"

"Go home!" It was Qingyue who spoke.

"Hehe, congratulations on another member joining our family." It was Tomie who spoke, her voice filled with resentment.
