No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

The remaining three were in the same situation as him, and couldn't help but cry out to Sugita for help:

"Sutita, save him!"

"Sutita, why are you just watching? Have you betrayed us?!"

Upon hearing this, Sugita, who was fighting against Kikyo's seal, immediately had veins popping out on his forehead.

These people are incredibly stupid! Can't they even see that they're being entangled themselves?!

Oh, they're all ordinary people, so it's really impossible to see them.

However, he was in no mood to argue with this bunch of good-for-nothings.

Because Suzumoto Mayu's move caught him completely off guard, leaving him utterly unprepared.

If he doesn't concentrate on dealing with this, he'll probably be the one hanging next.

pat.

pat.

Footsteps could be heard at the top of the approach.

A ferocious teddy bear appeared in Sugita's eyes.

It's about shoulder height for an adult, and the zipper opening is smugly upturned.

The cold, button-like eyes stared directly at Sugita, who was below.

Her body was covered in red threads sewn together with a cross-stitch, like centipedes crawling all over her body.

However, he was not fooled by its terrifying appearance, but saw the phantom of Suzumoto Koko hidden beneath it.

"I originally thought you were going all in, which is why you used so many paper figures at once. I never expected you to hide the spell inside the paper figures."

Sugita looked directly at Suzumoto Mayu and said, word by word:

"To be able to multitask and simultaneously use two completely different techniques, and to hide them from others, even making sure the bullet wound was intentional, right?"

Without waiting for Suzumoto Mayu's reply, he continued speaking to himself:

"That's right, it was definitely intentional. Since you can do something like this, bullets are no problem for you at all."

"You're trying to lower my guard so you can launch a surprise attack. Otherwise, how could you have prevented any of the paper dolls' core spells from being destroyed? This is definitely not something that can be explained by simple luck."

Sugita's eyes were full of seriousness. His previous disdain for Suzumoto Mayu, which stemmed from the absolute difference in their experience and spiritual power, had completely disappeared.

With such meticulous thinking and such powerful control over spiritual energy, this young girl, who had never been exposed to any divine arts in her previous life, was certainly capable of becoming his opponent.

Suzumoto Mayu showed no outward reaction to this, maintaining an air of calm and collected mastery.

This only strengthened Sugita's conviction in his conclusion.

But in reality, she was already doing her best just to keep herself in line.

Am I really that amazing?

Did you really consider all that?

By this point, the paper doll could no longer be described as simply being cut from the talisman left behind by the Great Demon King as a template.

In other words, it's not that she can multitask and control two completely different spells at the same time, but simply because the paper figure was cut from a talisman, so the spells were already inside.

She simply linked the spells from the individual talismans together using the method she had just read in the book.

However, because it was too dark and Sugita wasn't actually there, he didn't notice anything amiss.

But it didn't matter. Since he had misunderstood, Suzumoto Mayu had no intention of explaining.

Let him misunderstand.

Since things have come to this, let's just pretend for now.

"That's right, I didn't expect you to have such good eyesight."

Suzumoto Mayu stood tall and proud, admitting to all of these things:

"The fact that you can see these things shows that you are quite capable. It's just a pity that you were born in the same era as me, Suzumoto Mayu."

She planned to provoke the guy in front of her first, diverting his attention to her so that Natsukawa Masaki could take action.

To her surprise, Sugita actually nodded and agreed without hesitation.

"Yes, to have such methods in such a short time, if you were born in the same era as me, you would probably be quite terrifying."

Regardless, it's a fact that he almost fell for Suzumoto Mayu's trick.

If you were to belittle the other party at this time, you would be lowering your own standards.

Mutual praise is the real deal!

No matter who comes today, Suzumoto Mayu must be an unparalleled genius.

Are you expecting him to admit that he, a shikigami who has lived for over a thousand years, was almost defeated by a child?! That would be utterly shameful!

"But unfortunately, the farce is coming to an end!"

Qun_?Qier?Yisanlong?SijiuqisansiⅩ's tone became high-pitched.

More spiritual power burst forth from his body, forcefully pushing upwards the sealing technique set up by Suzumoto Koko.

This is a gap in accumulated experience.

I can't handle Kujo Toru and the things under Seifu Taisha, so surely I can handle you?

The clasped hands slowly opened.

Sugita stared at the Kikyo Seal magic circle, which was fiercely battling against his spiritual power, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

Raise your right index and middle fingers and make a vague gesture in front of yourself.

He began chanting the nine-syllable mantra:

“Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe…”

The bright, cold light illuminated the night, overshadowing the azure radiance.

The air was silently broken.

Under Suzumoto's watchful eyes, Sugita drew a total of nine straight lines.

Five horizontal lines and four vertical lines.

Then.

"Hurry up as a law!"

Each slash was like a knife, directly unfurling a crisscrossing net of blades in front of him, flying towards his head.

The Kikyo seal completely collapsed.

The air currents raged wildly in all directions.

The large trees on both sides of the imperial road swayed violently in the wind.

The members of the yakuza were so blinded by the sudden gust of wind that they couldn't open their eyes.

Only Sugita stood proudly in front of the crowd, his suit jacket fluttering in the wind.

At this moment, in Suzumoto Mayu's eyes, compared to Kujo Toru, who would draw his sword and chop at the drop of a hat and had never properly used any magic, Sugita was more like a true Onmyoji.

At least that one move just now was a complete Yin-Yang technique.

"It's actually a nine-character cut..."

Suzumoto Mayu's eyes were wary.

The Nine Syllable Mantra is a very basic application in Yin-Yang Taoism.

The reason is that it has many forms of use, including not only being engraved on spiritual objects as talismans, but also being used as a form of incantation.

There are even advanced uses like those of Kujo Toru, which combine hand seals.

Above that is the Nine Syllable Cut that Sugita just demonstrated, which can only be used after one has thoroughly mastered the Nine Syllable Mantra.

"You've done your best, little shikigami of the modern era."

Sugita was in no hurry.

That was already Suzumoto Mayu's last resort.

"Ha, you're the challenger."

Suzumoto Mayu stubbornly insisted, refusing to back down in the slightest.

A tuft of air swirled around the arms of the life-sized teddy bear, prompting Sugita to glance at it curiously, wondering what other tricks she might have up her sleeve.

Then I lost interest.

It's just a basic wind spell, good enough to deal with ordinary people and fragile little spirits, but in front of him, it's just a child's toy.

"What, aren't you going to use the paper purification ritual? The shrine's owner should have kept one, right?"

She lifted her leg and walked up the approach, putting psychological pressure on Suzumoto Mayu while speaking.

This is also one of his goals.

On Daimura's side, Yatogami has successfully revived, and Kujo Toru is probably fighting him now.

Although the resurrected Yato-gami had almost reached the level of a great yokai after his master's series of arrangements, he did not think that this yokai could survive Kujo Toru's attack.

The failure of the plan was already a foregone conclusion, but that didn't mean he couldn't cause some trouble for Kujo Toru.

If Suzumoto Mayu uses the paper purification ritual, Kujo Toru will inevitably have to pay attention to this matter.

Even though Yato-gami is a great yokai, surely he could injure Kujo Toru, who was in a split state, in this situation?

Once he's injured, he'll need to recuperate for a while, and then I won't have any worries about going to Kyoto.

Of course, Suzumoto Mayu could also forgo the exorcism ritual and retrieve the Sessho-seki fragments herself, continuing with the original plan.

This is a dilemma; either way, I'll win.

"Absolutely not. I have an invincible technique. You should focus on surviving first."

Suzumoto Mayu's voice was quite disdainful.

Sugita frowned. Was she still going to be there?

Then he heard Suzumoto Mayu's loud shout:

"A hundred kinds of martial arts, this is Yura Yura of the Furube clan!"

What a piece of junk!

Author's words

P.S.: I've been a bit busy with work these past few days. I'll try to update another chapter during the day when I have a spare moment, not counting the evening update.

Volume 1: Chapter 203 (6K) Yes! RPG!

As a shikigami who has lived for a thousand years, a shikigami who has transcended vulgar interests, and a shikigami dedicated to contributing to his master's cause, Sugita has no interest in anime.

He still preferred classical literature such as Murasaki Shikibu's "The Tale of Genji" and Sei Shonagon's "The Pillow Book," even though he disliked the stories behind these two works.

Naturally, they couldn't understand what kind of nonsense Suzumoto Mayu was chanting at that moment.

He searched through his extensive knowledge base for a long time, but still couldn't recall what kind of spell it was.

A sense of vigilance arose in my heart, and I became extremely focused.

They were afraid that, like the previous paper dolls hiding seals, it was some kind of strange trick.

His hands were already placed in front of him, ready to form a mudra to receive the attack.

"Secret Technique, Divine Sandstorm!"

Suzumoto Mayu's voice was very loud.

In fact, her move was quite powerful.

The air currents wrapped around his arms suddenly burst forth, heading straight for the fully alert Sugita.
