I have an unlimited number of shikigami

"Be careful later, and pay attention to your safety," Fujiwara Izaya said to her. "If anything goes wrong, hide behind me immediately."

His intention was to warn Asuka Kasahara not to let her guard down.

But when the little devil junior heard this, she was stunned and exclaimed, "Huh?"

"Is there a problem?" Fujiwara Izaya looked at her strangely.

Kasahara Asuka snapped out of her daze, puffing out her cheeks as she glared at him, their eyes meeting.

“I am a witch!” she emphasized.

"Oh." Fujiwara Izaya nodded.

“I am a very powerful priestess!” she continued to emphasize.

"Oh." Fujiwara Izaya maintained his indifferent expression.

"You keep a close eye on things and don't interfere!"

Kasahara Asuka snorted, flicked her sleeves, and pounced on the vengeful spirit in her wooden clogs.

Fujiwara Izaya had once seen that unstoppable aura emanating from a bald spider demon.

I hope you don't send it too quickly...

She may be brave, but has she forgotten her purpose in testing the waters?

Judging from her somewhat childish behavior of eagerly trying to show off, Fujiwara Rin also made a new discovery: although the junior seems very flirtatious on the surface, she is actually a naive girl at heart. Not only is she not very scheming, but she is also very playful.

Skin color, pure heart.

Such a beautiful girl is really great.

It wouldn't be bad to tease her a bit... Fujiwara Izaya wore a slightly immoral smirk as he followed behind Kasahara Asuka, in case she messed up and got killed by the vengeful spirit.

He has a keen sense of perception.

Not only did they see clearly what the female vengeful spirit that was crawling over looked like, but they also clearly sensed its strength. The fluctuations caused by its resentment disrupting the air reached the strongest level in the middle tier, which is D++.

This is two minor realms stronger than the vengeful spirit that sought a mate last time.

Kasahara Asuka's strength is about the same as that of a vengeful spirit.

However, given her history of letting things slide, Fujiwara Izaya dared not take it lightly.

As she drew closer to the vengeful spirit, Asuka Kasahara was able to see its appearance clearly. It was wearing a long white dress stained with blood, and through the gaps in its long, loose hair, a rotting face with feminine features was revealed.

Seemingly sensing the approaching danger, it raised its head, its long hair spreading out, revealing its bloodshot, ferocious eyes.

There was a hint of pity in Kasahara Asuka's eyes.

Every vengeful spirit has a tragic past; otherwise, it would be impossible to accumulate enough resentment to take shape.

But she also knew that she absolutely could not be soft-hearted.

No matter how pitiful she was in life, from the moment she becomes a vengeful spirit, she is no longer pitiful.

This vengeful spirit killed two people early this morning. If left unchecked, it could kill three more tonight. Being lenient with the vengeful spirit is tantamount to letting more innocent people die.

Thinking of this, Asuka Kasahara's gaze sharpened.

She pulled out a talisman and threw it forward with a jolt.

"Word of Power: Binding!"

In an instant.

Four soft blue rays of light emanated from the talisman, intertwining to form a cross-shaped net of light that bound the vengeful spirit.

"what--"

The vengeful spirit, its face covered in blood, writhed in agony within the net, its entire body surging with powerful red and black resentment as it resisted the divine power within the net.

Kasahara Asuka calmly brought her index and middle fingers together and pointed them at the vengeful spirit: "Evil spirit, begone!"

call out--

A blue streak of light shot up from the ground and struck the vengeful spirit like a rocket.

bang——

The vengeful spirit's entire left shoulder was smashed.

"Ugh, ah—"

It let out a shrill scream, its blood-red eyes glaring fiercely at the little witch, its black hair dancing wildly.

"Stop trying to scare me!" Kasahara Asuka glared back at the vengeful spirit with her wide, cute eyes, while simultaneously using her divine power to activate the talismans she had previously placed in Seimei's Kikyo seal, smashing them directly at its head.

From now on, we're officially entering the crushing phase.

One after another, expensive talismans, shimmering with a faint blue divine light, struck the vengeful spirits' bodies with unerring accuracy, like precision-guided missiles.

The vengeful spirit howled as it was beaten.

Bound by the divine power net, it kept twisting its rotting body. Every time a talisman was thrown at it, a small piece of its body would explode, releasing wisps of red and black mist.

"It's good to be rich..." Fujiwara Izaya remarked.

Judging from the situation, Asuka has the absolute upper hand and shouldn't need to take action herself.

He began to divert his attention to his surroundings, wary of potential dangers. Compared to the vengeful spirits, the unseen mastermind behind it all deserved to be brought to justice.

“Senior,” Kasahara Asuka turned around and said smugly, “this is a pardon talisman, specially used for sending the dead to the afterlife!”

When she saw Fujiwara Izaya looking at her, she immediately waved her finger forward with an air of authority.

call out--

Boom!

"Amazing! Amazing!" Fujiwara Rinya applauded her sincerely.

Let's not talk about the results yet.

The dazzling lighting effects are absolutely stunning!

Hearing his compliments, Kasahara Asuka felt even more smug.

snort!

You underestimated me before, I'll scare you to death, you ignorant little priest!

Kasahara Asuka chuckled inwardly, but her expression turned serious as she steadily formed hand seals: "Senpai, watch closely, I'll only demonstrate this move to you once!"

Fujiwara Izaya watched his junior's performance with complete concentration.

"By the command of the Celestial Master, its power is as potent as gold; it repels all demons and dispels all calamities. So be it!"

As the incantation was chanted, all the talismans that had been placed in Seimei's Kikyo Seal rose into the air at the same time, transforming into streaks of light that roared and crashed down on the vengeful spirit.

boom--

A violent explosion suddenly swept across the entire city of Tokyo.

Thick smoke and dust billowed, and stone chips flew everywhere.

Different styles of talismans exploded one after another, emitting flames of different colors. The deep, dark night was decorated with dazzling, colorful sparks, creating a dreamlike scene.

The vengeful spirit deep within the explosion's epicenter was engulfed by the sea of ​​fire, and its body gradually melted under the crushing force of the immense divine power...

“...It’s Katyusha!” Fujiwara Izaya exclaimed in amazement.

The artillery-like siege tactics are incredibly impressive, the visuals are overly lavish, and the atmosphere is overflowing with the scent of money.

Kasahara Asahi turned her head, a proud smile curving her lips.

“A mere vengeful spirit,” she casually tossed her long hair over her shoulder, looking at Fujiwara Izaya with a radiant expression, “is nothing before this priestess!”

However, at this very moment...

The sea of ​​fire behind her was suddenly extinguished by a gust of cold wind, and the black liquid that had melted on the ground slowly condensed together.

"Waaah—"

"You hit me so hard—"

A voice, neither crying nor laughing, rang out, like fingernails scratching a blackboard.

Astringent and harsh.

Kasahara Asuka turned around instantly, her face showing alarm.

Chapter 36. I want to pin you against the wall.

The black liquid reformed into a human form, carrying immense resentment, and slowly rose from the ground.

It was the same vengeful spirit from before.

"Woo, haa—"

It howled in agony, its naked body riddled with countless cuts that tore the flesh outwards, some so deep they exposed bone, from which a foul-smelling, black liquid oozed.

Fujiwara Izaya frowned.

As this vengeful spirit coalesced, the surrounding resentment continuously converged upon it, and in a short time, its strength surpassed its peak, directly breaking through to the upper level...

In other words.

Kasahara Asuka busied herself with a barrage of attacks, but instead of killing it, she ended up buffing it?

What is the principle?

Fujiwara Izaya has been in the exorcism business for over a year and has had many strange experiences, including being courted by vengeful spirits.

But this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

It feels quite novel.

So he plans to hold back for now and see how things develop.

On top of the tent, a sinister smile flashed in Jiro Araki's eyes.

The vengeful spirit has reached a high level of power; the little priestess definitely can't defeat it now. Surely the junior priestess will have to step in...

Asuka Kasahara was confused.
