However, this ability should be reaching its limit soon. Seven of the Inugami scrolls have been lit up. When the eighth scroll is lit up, Inugami's abilities will be fully developed, and his physical fitness will reach its limit. At that time, Uesugi Kiyoshi will have to choose the second monster scroll to study.

He was still struggling with this. He tried them one by one, but among the demon souls in the Hundred Demons Scroll that could be used, the only one was Inugami. The others either had incomplete demon souls or the mirage energy injected into them was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response.

But now, he may not have to worry about it anymore.

He is a swordsman and is destined to advance in the way of kendo, so his need for physical strength comes first.

If he remembered correctly, and the Hundred Demons Scroll and the Hundred Stories Card were also related, then the Hundred Stories Card owned by Shuten Douji, the Demon King of Oeyama, was closely related to physical strength.

He was a bloody god of war who was drunk and singing wildly, becoming stronger with each battle.

If Shuten-doji really possesses a demon soul, then his next extraordinary journey will have a destination.

Before his master brought back the Sword Heart Seed as promised, the only thing he could rely on was the Hundred Stories Card. Perhaps he also had the qualifications of a linker, but he was somewhat resistant to being both a player and a successor.

And it is not easy to find a heritage mirror that suits you.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was not in a hurry to leave the Mirage. He waved his hand, and seven colorful cards circled obediently around his fingertips.

There are three types of cards in the game: battle cards, spell cards, and form cards.

It can be simply understood as "moves", "spells" and "special abilities".

Among Inugami's seven cards, there are three types of combat cards, namely "Heart Slash", "Evil Slash", and "Guardian".

Two attacks and one defense, both are powerful. He has personally experienced the two main attack sword moves, and each has its own usefulness.

Two spell cards, "The Value of Bonds" and "The Heart is Your Home".

The effects of these two spells are both "resurrection" and "rebirth", which is why Uesugi Kiyoshi dares to confront the Ghost King of Oeyama head-on. If he can't beat him, he probably won't die either, so escaping will not be a problem.

The two cards that were highlighted today should be considered form cards.

But when Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at them carefully, he found that these two cards had nothing to do with the original Hundred Stories Cards.

This was a completely new ability, completely different from the game he remembered.

He flicked his fingers lightly, and a ghost fire beside the scroll of One Hundred Demons disappeared quietly. Endless mirage surged out from his bones and blood, swirling behind him and gathering into the shape of a dog god.

At the same time, the Hundred Stories card he activated also turned into a stream of light and flew away.

Inugami's Form——"Mind and Skill as One"!

The Inugami behind Uesugi Kiyoshi is completely different from usual.

When he used the battle card, the phantom of the Inugami behind him had a ferocious face and murderous determination. He wielded swords with him, wore armor with him, and advanced and retreated with him.

But now the dog god behind him closed his eyes in deep thought, with a calm and serene look on his furry dog ​​face. He stood with his sword in his hand, and countless mirages lingered under his feet, surrounding him like water waves.

Uesugi Kiyoshi took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

The moment the mental technique was activated, a strange feeling surged into his heart.

He could feel the rhythm of every muscle and bone in his body, hear the sound of blood flowing in his body, and feel his heart beating powerfully and gushing out the breath of life.

At the same time, his mind was clear, and the sword skills he had learned flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope, every move and every style was extremely clear.

His heart was also at peace.

It's like entering a deep meditation.

This state is what a swordsman dreams of - a heart as clear as a mirror and as calm as water!

This saying applies not only to kendo, but also to many industries in Japan, a country with a strong craftsman spirit.

The so-called practice is to cultivate the mind, skills, and body.

The unity of the three is the highest realm of what we have learned.

Cultivating the mind is the practice of mental strength, cultivating skills refers to the mastery of skills, and cultivating the body is the maintenance and use of physical abilities.

This is especially true for kendo.

Belief, technique, and body are all components of a swordsman's strength.

This combination of mind and skill is a comprehensive enhancement of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

This state may not be able to directly increase his physical strength, but it can greatly increase his control over his body.

His physical fitness had just been strengthened by the mirage. Logically, it should take some time for him to adapt, but now, he didn't feel even the slightest discomfort.

He knew the power and speed clearly, and could advance and retreat at will. He had complete control over how much power he wanted to use and how fast he wanted to cut with the sword, and there would never be any deviation.

That's control.

Control over body strength.

He can use the least amount of physical energy to complete the most powerful sword moves. Even if we don't mention single-player combat, in group combat, this kind of control will greatly reduce his physical energy consumption, and it is probably not just talk that he can defeat a hundred people alone.

And that kind of clear mind will enable him to make more rational judgments, and may even block the invasion of the will of ghosts and gods, slowing down the speed of falling into depravity.

In order to confirm this wonderful feeling, Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly opened his eyes and clenched his hands.

Ghost Cut immediately jumped into his hand.

Calm your breath, concentrate your mind, and bend your body.

He exhaled a breath of foul air, and a sword roar like a dragon's roar rose into the sky.

It was as if two beams of lightning flashed by, and they were two stunning sword lights.

One out, one cut, one return.

After half a breath, the knife returned to the sheath.

In the blink of an eye, he used the "Funeral Knife" skillfully and smoothly. If there was an enemy in front of him, he would probably be beheaded in the blink of an eye before he could react.

After putting away his sword, Uesugi Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, a feeling of extreme mental and physical fatigue spread uncontrollably throughout his heart and body.

With a thought, he came out of this state of extreme concentration.

Although he was exhausted both physically and mentally, there was an irrepressible joy on Uesugi Kiyoshi's face.

He could enter this state of mind and skill integration immediately whenever he wanted. The form card existed in a passive form and did not require any additional consumption of will-o'-the-wisp.

But he could hardly bear the mental and physical exhaustion.

The more you give, the more you gain.

Just based on the fact that the previous move of Funeral Blade was nearly twice as fast as usual, the strength of this card is self-evident.

One more hidden trick.

Uesugi Kiyoshi adjusted his mentality and prepared to look at the remaining card, then exited the Mirage and went to eat something to replenish his strength.

He held the last card between his fingertips and sensed it carefully.

His expression turned a little strange.

Inugami's form——Heart sword dance.

Isn't this supposed to be a form card?

Why.

Is it a spell?

Chapter 94: Showing Sincerity

Late night, Adachi Ward.

Adachi is located in the north of Arakawa, and is an area that is even poorer and more chaotic than Arakawa District. The specialty here is... probably gangsters?

Because of this, there are all kinds of people here, making it difficult for any one force to completely control it.

In a somewhat shabby Japanese-style courtyard, indoors.

Maki Touwen changed into a furisode kimono and knelt in front of a small table with a serious expression.

There was an opened brocade bag on the small table in front of her, and in her hand was a piece of letter paper with some elegant-looking words written on it.

The demon sword Kamishi stood behind Toufu Maki, like a beautiful statue of a goddess. The only flaw was that there was no expression on her face.

In front of Touwen Maki, there was also a middle-aged man kneeling with his head lowered.

This man was strong and wore a loose samurai robe. He had a sword on his waist and looked very respectful to Dongwen Maki. He stood still, waiting for Miss Dongwen to speak.

After reading the letter in her hand, Maki Touwen's eyes turned red. She took several deep breaths, forced herself to suppress her messy thoughts, tried hard to hide the sobs in her words, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Kameyama-san, if you put it that way, father really..."

"Sorry, I lost my temper."

Under the sleeves, the veins on his tightly clenched fists were exposed and his nails had sunk into the flesh.

But Touwen Maki was unaware of it.

Kneeling on the ground, the man called "Kameyama-san" spoke hesitantly with a sad look on his face.

".Yes, Miss."

"I just received news that this matter has spread all over Tokyo, so it can't be false!"

"Miss, the president once told me that if you don't want to get involved in the struggle, then I and my guards will do everything we can to protect you and evacuate Tokyo. The president has already arranged a way out for you. Although you may have to leave your hometown, the danger will be much less."

Before he could finish his words, Touwen Maki interrupted him with a wave of her hand.

The eyes of this charming young lady were red and she couldn't control her tears, but the determination on her face did not diminish in the slightest.

Just like cherry blossoms blooming in the wind and rain, blooming strongly and beautifully.

"Mr. Guishan, my father just died at the hands of his enemies and you want me to escape?"

Touwen Maki gritted her teeth, the hatred in her tone was so full that it seemed to overflow.

She suddenly grasped the ancestral sword, drew it out of its sheath, and stared at the reverse-edged sword. Naturally, some squinting words emerged in her mind.

"Mercy and blade are simply antonyms."

Touwen Maki murmured to herself, and the remaining hesitation and weakness in her eyes were completely driven away, leaving only calmness and murderous intent.

"Before today, I chose kindness."

"From today on, for my father and those who died because of me, and those who relied on my protection, I will swing my sword!"
