I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

An inexplicable fear made Kokonoe Reina take a few steps back, almost falling to the ground.

A slight chill ran down my back.

But in the mirror, she was still standing in the same spot.

His expression changed from a smile to loud laughter and then hysterical laughter.

His entire face contorted as a result.

The eyes, nose, and mouth were like ripples spreading out, gradually becoming a chaotic mess.

Before Kokonoe Reina could react and escape.

At the center of the ripples, a semi-transparent arm suddenly reached out from the mirror and grabbed her forearm, followed by an irresistible force.

Before Kokonoe Rena could even cry for help, she was forcibly pulled and dragged into the mirror.

As Kokonoe Reina entered, the entire mirror began to writhe.

A strange creature, still translucent but now somewhat thicker, emerged from it.

The thickness comes from the fact that Kokonoe Reina is wrapped in those semi-transparent things, which support her body.

She herself had her eyes closed, as if she were fast asleep.

It was the Mirror Demon.

At this moment, looking down at the Nine-Headed Reina inside his body, Mirror Demon couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The sound was like two shards of glass scraping together violently.

"Hahahahaha!"

"In the end, it still couldn't escape my grasp! This divine artifact belongs to me, the Mirror Demon!"

"This demon wants to see who in the entire Tokyo metropolis can stop me!"

"I hereby declare that I, Mirror Demon, am invincible among A-rank demons!"

"This demon—"

Just as it was about to continue expressing its inner excitement.

"You just said that you are a monster?"

Behind them, a slightly surprised voice came.

"If you really are a monster, could you answer a few questions for me?"

"Are you listening, Your Excellency?"

"If you're ready, shall I begin asking questions?"

Chapter 42 Did I Hurt You?

Shiramu Jun was also very surprised.

He had only noticed a strange fluctuation at the warehouse entrance.

Moreover, it is emanating from the warehouse at a fixed frequency.

This fluctuation piqued Shiraki Jun's curiosity.

He had never noticed this fluctuation before the consecration of his facial features was completed.

However, with the significant enhancement of his senses after the consecration ceremony, Shiraki Shun can now perceive these things effortlessly.

Following the direction of the fluctuations, we found this place.

did not expect

We actually saw a monster?

What incredible luck!

Surprised, he subconsciously activated his second Fahai and his all-seeing perspective.

Of course, the main purpose was to confirm Reina Kokonoe's safety.

Secondly, I'm a little curious about the Mirror Demon's body.

They breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Kokonoe Reina was only unconscious and otherwise unharmed.

Shift to research mode.

Under the penetrating perspective, everything inside the Mirror Demon's body was completely revealed to him.

The body's structure, organs, distribution of demonic power, and the most tightly protected small sphere within it.

Everything, without reservation.

Shiraki Shun watched with great interest for a few seconds.

Suddenly, I felt utterly bored.

The main reason was that he discovered a major problem.

The demonic power within the Mirror Demon is too little.

After his calculations, the demonic power within the mirror demon's body, converted into an equivalent amount of mana, amounted to only about three hundred points.

This result left Shiramu Jun somewhat incredulous.

Only 300 points?

One percent of myself?

Did something go wrong?

It should be noted that he had only been involved with Shintoism and served as a priest for a little over three years, a little over a thousand days.

Based on this calculation, the monster's cultivation time...

Only ten days!?

wtf?

Of course, Shiramu Jun knew very well that this was impossible.

Because there was a very practical problem that he hadn't considered.

That is the difference in the speed at which humans and monsters increase their magical power.

According to historical records, Abe no Seimei, the most outstanding Onmyoji in ancient times, sealed the Tengu of Nachi Mountain when he was sixty-three years old.

If the cultivation speed of humans and yokai were roughly the same, then that yokai should have been chasing Abe no Seimei all over the mountains.

This difference in cultivation speed

Let's just say it's ten times that for now.

A genius of Abe no Seimei's caliber, whose talent is so exceptional that it is a once-in-a-millennium phenomenon, should be even higher.

Based on this calculation, the actual cultivation time of the monster in front of him should be...

Between one hundred and two hundred days!

Even Shiraki Shun himself found this conclusion somewhat hard to believe.

However, judging from the other party's cautious manner, they actually chose to attack an ordinary person like Kujo Reina.

Moreover, their first reaction after succeeding wasn't to make a quick getaway, but rather to stand there laughing maniacally and boasting about themselves—a series of actions too gruesome to watch.

It certainly doesn't seem like something a mature monster would do.

This undoubtedly confirms, from another perspective, that it is very weak.

Thinking of this, Bai Mujun frowned.

With such low skill level, how dare you wander around like this?

Do you really think you're so great?

Aren't you afraid that if you pass by a shrine or temple, the priests there will exorcise you?

Shiraki Shun felt genuine sorrow for this monster.

What a pitiful monster.

He probably hadn't seen much of the world before he met himself.

Of course, it is sad as it is.

Attacking humans has crossed Shiraki Shun's bottom line.

At this moment, Bai Mujun looked at the gloomy-faced Mirror Demon, but a smile appeared on his face. He spoke first, "Don't panic, Your Excellency."

"Before we begin asking questions, how about we release the person first? What do you think, sir?"

Release them?

The Mirror Demon looked at Shiramu Jun with surprise.

Why?

Although he didn't know how this human had approached him, just looking at his confident expression made the Mirror Demon's anger surge.

Its main body is a mirror, which took a hundred years to become spiritually connected.

Over the course of a century, the Mirror Demon gradually figured out a pattern among humans.

That is--

People with ordinary appearances tend to look in the mirror more often.

And the handsome ones, hehe.

You don't need to explain where the dust on your body came from, right?

Therefore, throughout its entire life, the mirror demon hated nothing more than handsome people!

And someone of Shiraki Shun's caliber...

No mercy.

But before the Mirror Demon could answer, Shiraki Shun had already reached out and reached for Kokonoe Reina inside the Mirror Demon's body.

The mirror demon was taken aback.
