Moe Girl Guardians

"...To be honest, I was the first demon to absorb the white fragment. I found the white fragment in the ruins of the temple after escaping from the suppression, and that's how I broke through to my current strength." After hesitating for a moment, Yao Ma still told her everything.

"But the competition for the fragments was too fierce, so I gave up on trying to find them inside and instead looked for some fragments in more external areas."

Perhaps even the demon horse wasn't the first to discover the white fragment. Heaven knows when the first fragment appeared; it's only recently that the fragments have suddenly started to proliferate and spread.

"Is this what you mean by crystal?" Wu Feng asked, taking out a white fragment thinner than a needle and placing it in front of the demon horse.

"That's right, that's it!" The demon horse said with a hint of fanaticism in its eyes, but it didn't change its expression at all. In any case, it was not worth going against the demon master for the sake of fragments.

"This piece is probably a very small one; only small monsters can use it effectively." The fragment Wu Feng took out was much smaller than the fragments he had obtained before.

Erica, Lily, and Luo Hao all looked at Wu Feng in surprise. Although they already knew that this was the crystallization of faith, they were still surprised that he could suddenly produce a physical object.

"Consider this the price for your help," Wu Feng said calmly, tossing the faith in his hand to the demon horse, though a hint of heartache lingered in his heart.

Now that it's confirmed to be a crystallization of faith, obtaining it becomes much simpler. His seed of faith contains a considerable amount, which can be extracted.

He just had Sha extract a percentage of faith from it, which, after crystallization, would be roughly what 50,000 people would devoutly believe in for half a year...

The fragments landed on the demon horse and were immediately absorbed. The flames on its body reignited, and upon closer inspection, one could see that the color was lighter than before, and thin, thread-like blue flames appeared.

"Thank you, Demon Master," the demon horse said respectfully. Although its strength was limited and the improvement from this crystal fragment was minimal, it still demonstrated the Demon Master's attitude.

Moreover, given her current strength, even the slightest improvement would be extremely difficult; she has already achieved a breakthrough.

"Please convey my message to all the monster forces you can contact, even those that are alone. I need their help. The reward is white fragments, with different amounts depending on the outcome."

Flames erupted, and the demon horse's eyes were filled with shock as it looked at Wu Feng. In other words... the demon master possessed a large amount of crystals? Or perhaps... the crystals originated from the demon master?

"I'll go and inform them right away," the demon horse said immediately after the initial shock, and began to fly out of the cave.

"The more notifications you send, the greater your reward will be," Wu Feng added before the demonic horse departed, causing the flames on its body to burn even brighter. (To be continued...)

Chapter 409 Turning Around

"Youfeng, can you really mass-produce faith fragments?" Erica asked immediately after the demon horse left. Since arriving in the Inuyasha world, they had never separated and had never picked up any crystals, so they could tell that they were not obtained in this world.

The only options left are to manufacture them yourself or obtain a large stockpile from other worlds. With enough fragments, building a force comparable to the Proxy is not a problem.

"I can manufacture some, having gained a lot of faith in other worlds, but it's limited, and it's impossible to manufacture in large quantities." The little bit he just mentioned already pained him, but for the sake of the monster's help, he had no choice but to sacrifice it.

Judging from the demon horse's attitude, it can definitely pull out a group of demons to do things as long as it gives orders, but it can't listen to everything, at least not to the point of sending them to their deaths.

However, the allure of the fragments of faith, coupled with one's own identity, would be enough to attract a large number of monsters. The only prerequisite is to demonstrate absolute strength, making it impossible for them to seize the fragments.

If one lacks the strength to control it, rashly taking out the white fragment will result in being torn apart by the demon, even if one is a demon master.

"Erica, while the demon horse is out, try to find out my specific identity in this world." Erica is confident she can do this without arousing suspicion from the demons.

"I understand," Erica replied, and walked out of the cave.

"Then... how to hide one's strength." The identity of the demon master is the top priority, and another point is how to hide one's strength.

The demon horse's strength is generally average; unless someone deliberately probes their own strength, they usually won't know. But the invited demons are a different story. A stronger one could definitely tell their strength at a glance.

"Sha, help me find an item to conceal my true strength, so that at least at the Berserker level, no one can tell." Wu Feng summoned Sha and said in a low voice.

He had never really paid attention to this kind of thing before. His strength was whatever it was. Anyway, with the [Netherworld Jade Pavilion], his strength was at least one level above the surface, making it a natural hidden trump card.

But now I need to show off a little...

"Given the current Stigmata and the required strength, the [Shadow Cloak] and [Kiyama Hinata's Mark] should be the most suitable for the young master's current situation, and he has enough ability to afford them." After calculating, two screens appeared in front of Wu Feng, each displaying an accessory.

One was a jet-black cloak without any other colors, while the other had delicate light green patterns, with circles made up of multiple curved lines.

[Shadow Cloak]

[Effect: Conceal everything beneath the cloak—your energy, appearance, all hidden. To the outside world, you are merely a shadowy figure.]

[Exchange: 20 Stigmata]

【The crest of Hina Kiyama】

[Fear: The power of the God of Calamity instills in people a natural fear of you, making them never dare to probe your situation.]

[Negative effect: There is a small chance that it might be ignored due to excessive fear]

[Misfortune: Misfortune surrounds you, making it difficult for others to gauge the depth of your strength.]

[Negative effect: Misfortune surrounds you, luck decreases. Fortunately, you're not a fortune teller, so the decrease will be limited.]

[Exchange: 30 Stigmata]

After watching, Wu Feng immediately clicked on one of the screens, deducted 30 Stigmata, leaving 32 Stigmata.

In terms of effectiveness, the [Shadow Cloak] is definitely stronger, but its ability to completely conceal itself is too powerful, making it unusable. It's not as good as [Kiyama Hinata's Crest], and... the Spinning God is quite adorable!

As expected of the "God of Fortune"... it's related to bad luck; a positive effect is always followed by a negative one...

However, the negative effect of fearing being ignored is most likely to occur on very weak monsters. So what if they are ignored? It doesn't really matter anyway, and the decrease in luck won't make a difference.

After clicking on the screen, both screens disappeared simultaneously, while the light green pattern on one of the screens gradually solidified and adhered to Wu Feng's sleeve, forming a small pattern.

The moment the tattoo was applied to his body, a faint black aura enveloped Wu Feng. Lily immediately felt a peculiar sensation, a mixture of fear and something else, but the feeling vanished in an instant.

"It's effective for all levels below Berserker, but the closer you get to Quasi-God, the weaker the effect. It won't affect the collaborators, but be careful not to make a move lightly, otherwise it will be difficult to hide even if you try to conceal it," Sha reminded Wu Feng after he made his selection. Once you come into contact with the power, you can always tell.

"Lian, we'll have to rely on you then. Give the coming monsters a taste of their power." Wu Feng nodded gently and said to Luo Hao with a smile. His fierce strength was definitely top-notch in this world.

"Hmm," Luo Hao replied softly, a slight smile appearing on her calm and pretty face. Since her sworn brother had said so, she hoped the monster that came would help her complete the mission.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Feng called out "Jibril" again, even though he still didn't know where she was...

"Master~ You finally remembered me~" A white dot in the sky descended rapidly. Before Lily could even react, she pounced on Wu Feng and rubbed her face against him.

"Don't rub against me! Go rub against Azriel if you want..." She pushed Jibril away helplessly, feeling utterly lacking in authority as her master...

"I have a task for you."

"?" Jibril, who was floating next to Wu Feng, tilted her head, looking quite surprised.

"Return to the East immediately and relay this to Kong Bu. If necessary, have them come as well, in case something unexpected happens."

"Sigh! Should we go back..." Jibril said disappointedly.

"Well, we need to explain things carefully and to the blank space, especially..." After explaining the demon master's question to Jibril, Wu Feng stated her main purpose.

"Just passing on a message?" Jibril asked, tilting her head in confusion.

"The main thing is to relay what's going on here to Blank and see if it affects the plan," Wu Feng nodded. Come to think of it, this is so inconvenient...shouldn't we get a communication device...?

“Why not just communicate through magic…” Jibril drew patterns in mid-air, and a white magic circle appeared in the project room, with mysterious stripes on it.

"...It can make direct calls!" Wu Feng exclaimed, suddenly feeling a stomachache upon seeing this. He had no idea this ability existed...

“Of course it is. Forest elves have researched magic that includes long-distance communication. As long as there is enough magic power, it is possible to do it over this distance.” Jibril nodded her little head. Hadn’t she told her master about this? However, this distance would consume a lot of magic power.

"Jibril, what happened?" The silver-haired girl's voice came from the other side of the magic circle, asking Jibril.

"Yes, Master has something to say to Blank, please pass it on."

"learn"

"Lily, Lian, cover up this area and don't let the sound get out," Wu Feng said to the two of them during this time. If a monster found out, it could easily cause trouble.

"...Youfeng, something unexpected has happened?" A moment later, Blank's voice came from the magic circle, accompanied by the sound of the earth shaking.

"...Well, something has been discovered on the Western Continent. Because of some items, I have acquired a certain status here..." Surprised, Wu Feng explained the recent events to Blank through the magic circle.

"...If I'm not mistaken, it's the world's last resort," Kong said again after a period of silence.

"You said that faith can only be absorbed by those who believe in it; others can't obtain it. Faith that anyone can absorb is extremely rare, and the World Will is one of them."

"The world is already on its last legs, so this final desperate attempt is to take the crystallization of faith to the West to attract the attention of monsters and agents, in order to eliminate the agents. But there are too many flaws, and it will definitely not succeed," Kong asserted with certainty.

"That's too much of a assertion. The strongest monsters are no weaker than the Agents, and their numbers are hundreds of times greater. Even without a unified leader, it shouldn't be too difficult to severely injure the Agents," Wu Feng objected.

From what the demon horse just said, it's clear that this is only the edge of the struggle, but there are already demons at the middle level of the Madness realm. It's likely that at the upper level of the Madness realm, it's quite common. And among the agents, the strength of each one is limited.

"Because the crystals of faith are so useful to the monsters, they are destined to pose no threat to the agents. Their main activity is killing each other," Kong asserted confidently from the magic circle. Human nature also applies to monsters.

"But now that you, Youfeng, have your identity, you can help her slightly change her plan. No, perhaps she even calculated Youfeng's arrival as the world's will's last-ditch effort." (To be continued...)

P.S.: My recommendation score has dropped to less than 50 in less than a day, lol.

Chapter 410 The Only Great Demon

After closing the magic circle, and with Sora's explanation, the vague plan was refined. It was indeed a bit troublesome to completely expel the agent by relying solely on monsters.

"Jibriel should stay hidden and not let anyone find her," Wu Feng instructed, turning to look at Jibril who was floating around him.

"Ugh... do we have to go up again?" Jibril said disappointedly, having finally managed to get down.

"Thank you for your hard work. My safety depends on your protection," Wu Feng said reassuringly. It was indeed quite frustrating for Jibril that a quasi-god had suppressed himself to the peak of the Berserker realm and was still hiding his abilities.

"Okay~" After staring at Wu Feng in frustration for a while, Jibril spread her pure white wings and in the blink of an eye returned to the sky, to a place where the monsters could not detect her.

……

"Youfeng, you've inquired about the Demon Master." Shortly after Jibril left, Erica returned to the cave from outside, her clothes showing more signs of wear and tear than before.

"So, what identity did the demon seal give me?" Wu Feng stood up and asked with curiosity. The demon horse was so surprised, what kind of identity could it be?

"It's troublesome to ask. The younger monsters only know the general idea. We only got the information after we taught a not-so-weak monster a lesson," Erica stretched her body, showing off her perfect figure in front of Wu Feng, and said with dissatisfaction.

When his identity was mentioned, Erica's pretty face showed a different expression as she looked at Wu Feng.

"The Demon Master, one of the most famous demons in the Western Continent nearly four hundred years ago, had fought against almost all the major demons in the West, with very few defeats and few draws. Even in the East, he was renowned. He could be considered a leader among Western demons."

"But it disappeared from the Western demon realm two hundred years ago. No one knows where it went. Fortunately, not much time has passed, so its residual power remains. Unless it's meant to kill a demon, most powerful demons won't put up much resistance."

"...As expected, this is no small fry..." Wu Feng's lips twitched. This was a rather grandiose title; he'd fought all the major demons? He'd be dead if he encountered just one of them...

Great demons are generally at the quasi-god level in terms of strength. This instantly made Wu Feng realize a very serious problem!

Now that only those at the peak of the Berserker level can enter the Inuyasha world, what about the quasi-gods who are the original inhabitants? As a high-level world, even the weaker ones will have a few quasi-gods. The Inuyasha world doesn't seem that weak, so taking them into account seems to cause a huge deviation from the plan...

"Oh, right, there's something else strange," Erica suddenly said, remembering the question she'd casually asked.

"What's so strange?"

"A hundred years ago, the world was invaded by a great invasion, with many powerful yokai descending upon it. Although they were eventually driven out, the yokai suffered heavy casualties. But some remained. However, for some reason, starting fifty years ago, almost all the powerful yokai disappeared."
