The Japanese-fear sorcerer who started by taking in Tomie

Chapter 86 Demonic Energy

Orange: —

Chenglong looked down at the antique shield in his hand, then looked up at Xinhengyuan's departing figure, and scratched his head.

Her original task was to retrieve the shield. As for talismans or anything like that, the old lady never mentioned them, and she didn't have the guts to bargain with Shin-Yuan Yuan.

After all, she was just an ordinary female protagonist who knew a little bit of martial arts.

Anyway, Grandma only said to get the shield back, she didn't say anything else, so let's leave it at that.

Chenglong turned around, intending to drag the unconscious Tru back to report, but the ground was already empty, and Tru had vanished without a trace.

Chenglong frowned and looked around. The streets were deserted, and even the three small fry, Lasu, Zhou, and Afen, were nowhere to be seen.

Chenglong couldn't help but blurt out his own catchphrase.

"Damn it!"

Shinjuku Gen, no longer caring about finding Kayako, floated in mid-air, the power of the Chicken Talisman lifting him straight into the sky like an invisible hand.

-

The wind whistled in his ears, and looking down at the city that had shrunk like building blocks, Xin Yuanyuan felt only exhilaration.

Anyway, with the talisman in hand, flying doesn't consume much magic power, so let's enjoy flying first.

Kayako? That dilapidated house isn't going to grow legs and run away. We can clean it up another day.

Shin-Yuan decided to enjoy the flight first.

Xin Yuanyuan took out the talisman search device. The four dragon heads all closed their eyes, indicating that there were no other talismans nearby.

Therefore, Shin-Yuan Yuan decisively chose to fly towards home.

My phone rang as soon as I got to my doorstep.

Gen Shinjuku took out his phone and saw the name Chizuru Fujiwara appear on the screen.

"Hey, this is Aragaki."

"New Hengyuan!"

Fujiwara Chizuru's voice remained as calm as ever.

"Be careful not to fly around in public. I've covered up the matter for you. You're leaving the day after tomorrow. Remember to come back to the library to find me and get ready. That's all."

Just as Xin Hengyuan was about to say something, the receiver went dead.

He looked down at the phone that had just been hung up, and a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Wow, that's some serious speed with which you hung up the phone! I wonder how many years you've been single to develop such amazing hand speed.

"Fine," Shinju shrugged, unlocking the door with his key. "I'm home!"

"My little one!"

As soon as Shinju entered the entrance hall, before he could even change his shoes, a figure over two meters tall rushed over with light steps. The figure opened its arms and embraced Shinju tightly.

Aragaki Gen's face sank into that warm, soft embrace, his nasal cavity instantly filled with a faint milky scent.

"Let go, let go! I'm suffocating!"

"Ugh~ No!"

"I'm so bored I'm going to die!"

In the end, Shinichi was still put down by Hachi. Shinichi gasped for air; he was so close, just a hair's breadth away.

At that point, he would become the first male protagonist in the history of novels to die from chest tightness.

That would be incredibly embarrassing!

Meanwhile, Hachika, still grinning mischievously, looked at Aragaki Gen and asked, "Little one, are you thirsty?"

After changing his shoes in the entryway, Aragaki Gen thought for a moment and said, "I am indeed a little thirsty."

"Here you go, it's all prepared."

Eight feet tall brought over a cup of milky yellow milk.

Shinjuku Gen skillfully took the milk and drank it all in one gulp. This time, the milk did not increase his attributes.

Shinjuku could feel a warm sensation within his body, indicating that his physique was indeed slightly improving, but the increase was far less pronounced than before, and he had not yet reached the threshold for the next attribute.

It seems that milk is not very effective for me now, which may be due to the small amount consumed.

"Is there anything else?" Gen Aragaki asked.

Eight-foot just smiled and shook his head: "One cup a day, don't overdo it~"

"Okay." Gen Aragaki said without regret.

Since it wasn't dinnertime yet, Qingyue was still preparing the side dishes for the evening. Judging from the side dishes, today's menu should be normal.

So Shin-Gen prepared to go back to his room to study this new function of the system.

He also needs to study these two holy symbols.

And they plotted—the Eight Great Demonic Auras!

Since the Holy Lord exists, the other seven great demons must also exist, and the demonic energy left behind by the eight great demons in the world is the real good stuff.

The Holy Lord was incredibly powerful back then; the title of Demon Wizard was not given lightly, and the Complete Book of Spells was compiled by Him personally.

But now, He has forgotten most of the magic and has to look it up in books to remember and use the spells from back then.

Keep in mind that Shendu has already spent the shortest time in Hell among the eight demons; the others were imprisoned for much longer and were only more confused than him.

The demon itself is delirious from the torment of hell and is unable to unleash the true power of its demonic energy.

But those who possess the corresponding demonic energy are different. In the original series, almost every human who inherited the demonic energy mastered the art of manipulating power, using it even more effectively than the original owner.

Of course, the demon elder brother Zhou Lan is a different story.

The little demon dragon, having gathered all eight demonic energies, is just a hair's breadth away from ruling the world.

However, in the end, he was still brutally beaten by his father, the Holy Lord, who had collected all twelve talismans and lacked nothing.

You could say that experience truly matters.

It's better not to know about such a valuable thing as demonic energy, but now that Xin Yuanyuan knows, he won't leave it to anyone else!

This is top-quality material, top-quality energy!

Aragaki Gen holds the Ox Talisman and the Sheep Talisman in his hand. The 12 talismans are the divine power of Shendu. Although there has been an animal version, the 12 talismans are actually transformations of Shendu's own divine power.

Ultimately, however, each talisman is a manifestation of the power of the Holy Lord. In theory, as long as one knows Lope's curse, each demon can be stripped of its own talisman.

It's just a matter of quantity.

If we were to ask him which of the 12 talismans he most desires, it would naturally be the Rat Talisman, which can transform stillness into movement.

The Rat Talisman's power was already well demonstrated in the original series, turning stillness into movement and giving life to inanimate objects.

The Rat Talisman is the most important factor in whether Shendu can be resurrected. Without the Rat Talisman, Shendu will forever remain a statue. Only with the Rat Talisman can Shendu move.

To give an analogy, if the Dragon Talisman is the energy source of the Holy Lord, then the Rat Talisman is the switch. Without this switch, the machine cannot be started no matter what.

However, the Rat Talisman's power is not limited to this; it can also revive statues.

In the original series, the Rat Talisman resurrected the statues of Lope and Quetzalcoatl.

And that Lope and Quetzalcoatl were basically no different from the real ones, possessing the same memories, the same abilities, and even the same personality.

That's terrifying.

In other words, theoretically, any statue can be brought to life if New Hengyuan is willing.

Historical figures, mythological deities, and even characters from anime—as long as a corresponding statue exists, Gen Shinju can bring them back to life.

The only problem is that the resurrected creatures don't obey him.

The Rat Talisman is only responsible for giving life, not for brainwashing. It's useful, but it's more like a double-edged sword. If used well, it's a powerful ally; if used poorly, it's just adding an ancestor to your list.

Therefore, Gen Akimoto immediately ruled out characters like Gilgamesh, and if he was to revive someone, he would only revive someone easy to talk to, such as Enkidu.

However, that's a story for another time.

Shin-Gen is still researching how to absorb the magic of the talisman into his own body. Leaving this thing outside is not safe; it's always a potential risk of it being stolen.

The stone that holds the magic is merely a prop for the talisman. In the original series, breaking the talisman causes the magic to escape and seek out the corresponding noble animal.

Doesn't that mean—
