In order not to alert Tenri Academy, Niu Kun led his men out of the helicopter before even arriving at the academy, heading towards Takamagahara, which stands outside Tenri Academy.
This Takamagahara is not the secluded Takamagahara where the Japanese gods lived in seclusion, but the real Takamagahara with an amazing seal.
In the pitch-black night, when Niu Kun spread his demonic wings and flew to the Takamagahara Plain, Himegami Korei was already waiting on the plain. Meeting Niu Kun's gaze, Himegami Korei spoke with trepidation.
"I don't know if this counts as dealing with a tiger for its skin, but oh well, I... I don't have any better options. Even if... even if I end up suffering, it's just that I miscalculated."
"No, although I have never cared much about rules and integrity, I still care for and love witches who submit to me."
Niu Kun put Xiao Ren, Minerva, and Yang Ming down, then walked up to Himegami Korei, reached out and hugged her, stroking the girl's back gently, and said softly, "Don't think too much. I'm making an exception this time and I won't lie to you. If I break my oath, I won't be able to sleep with a woman for a hundred years."
"Uh, your kind of oath doesn't move me at all."
She did not refuse Niu Kun's embrace, but Himegami Korei clearly had some objections to Niu Kun's vow.
"Don't you dare to move? I made a real, serious oath, a vow far more serious than chopping off your hands, feet, or even birds."
Niu Kun's vulgar remarks made Himegami Korei sigh again, but... she seemed to have regained some trust in him.
(Having traversed too many worlds inevitably leads to a drawn-out and lengthy plot, so ending it quickly isn't easy now.)
Chapter 216 Qigong
"This... this small gap is where you crawled out?"
Niu Kun looked at the narrow crack in the sealing barrier and asked with some curiosity.
"So, do you have a way to get my original body out?"
Himegami Koremi asked back somewhat nervously.
"I have a feeling... it's not that simple?"
Niu Kun narrowed his eyes and fell silent. Of course, things were not that simple, because too many worlds were mixed together, which also made Niu Kun's memories inaccurate.
However, it seems that some fixed plot points haven't deviated too much. Beneath this Takamagahara, legend has it that the Yamata no Orochi, which was supposedly killed by Susanoo, is sealed away.
As a frequent character in Japanese legends and anime, Yamata no Orochi is renowned, and this place is no exception. It is also one of the final villains... The primary villain is still Yamato Takeru.
However, Himegami Koreki's seal is also located on Takamagahara, so the seal is inevitably intertwined with it. It is clear that Niu Kun's current strength is insufficient to forcibly break the seal.
Besides, Niu Kun looked at the seal in front of him and recalled the details... well, this anime is too silly and erotic, he recalled too many details and his thoughts were affected.
Speaking of which... Kodama's mother, although she died at the time, her soul transformed into a shikigami, which Kodama inherited along with the previous shikigami, residing within Kodama's magical artifact, Yasakani no Kagami. Hmm... interesting...
'Oh no, now's not the time to think about that.'
Niu Kun shook his head slightly with a serious expression, which made Ji Shen Mu Ling, who had been secretly observing him, feel uneasy. Could it be that even the other party had no way to deal with him?
Although she was indeed very nervous and hesitant before, if the other party also failed, Himegami Korei couldn't help but feel worried and disappointed. This complicated feeling was really hard to describe.
"It seems we still have to follow the original plot: enter the seal, defeat all the shikigami inside, and obtain the demon sword, Haburugi. Then you can escape, and once I get Haburugi, I can help you take revenge. It's a win-win situation."
"Uh, how do you know everything? You didn't approach me specifically for Yuu-chan, did you?"
Himegami Korei asked with a suspicious look, then suddenly felt something was amiss. After all, the demon had a reputation, and he didn't seem much stronger than Yamato Takeru.
"Of course not. In my eyes, you are ten thousand times stronger than that Feather Blade. If I had a choice, I would definitely choose you over that demonic sword."
Niu Kun made his promise with great conviction, but Ji Shen Mu Ling found it even stranger and couldn't help but complain, "What nonsense are you talking about? I only agreed to cooperate with you, not to accept your confession."
"Huh? Is there a difference between these two? Didn't we just go on a date during the day?"
Niu Kun looked astonished, as if he had been deceived by Himegami Kodama. Himegami Kodama, on the other hand, had veins bulging on her forehead and suppressed her anger as she whispered, "That doesn't count... Stop rambling and make a decision quickly."
"It's decided, it's decided. I'll go in and test those shikigami's abilities. If it doesn't work, I'll come back and try again next time. If it succeeds, I'll take the Habakiri and free you."
Niu Kun made a decision that seemed rather hasty, making Himegami Korei want to sigh and rub her forehead. She herself seemed to have made a hasty decision as well. Could the demon in front of her really be trusted?
"However, before that, I have to try something else, which can also be considered a deposit."
Before the operation, Niu Kun suddenly said something that surprised Ji Shenmu Ling.
"What? What deposit?"
"I want to see what happens when I sign a contract with your thought entity. I'm very curious."
Niu Kun looked at Himegami Kodama again, which made Himegami Kodama nervous again. Although she had made a decision, she still couldn't help feeling uneasy.
"Don't be nervous or resist, it will be quick."
Niu Kun's twitching fingers made Himegami Korei uneasy again, but she still forced herself not to dodge, perhaps because her current body was not her true form.
There's still a lingering sense of wishful thinking.
Niu Kun leaned closer to the other woman, slipping his fingers under her clothes. Relying on his familiarity with the girl's body, he expertly placed his fingers on her lower abdomen. A little further down, and he could reach her private parts.
"I have a feeling you're doing this on purpose... umm..."
Just as Ji Shen Mu Ling was about to question Niu Kun, she suddenly frowned, grunted, and stopped talking.
The magic flowed along Niu Kun's fingers, using his demonic blood as a medium, and instantly formed a contract magic rune on Himegami Kodama's lower abdomen. Himegami Kodama became illusory and distorted in that instant.
The magic did not stop after it had permeated Himegami Murei's entire body. Niu Kun also sensed something was wrong, but he did not stop pouring in the magic. Through the flow of the magic, Niu Kun seemed to see another sleeping girl floating in the void.
bang~
With a muffled thud, the Himegami Wood Spirit, who was standing in front of Niu Kun, suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of stardust that drifted away and dissipated.
"Forehead..."
Niu Kun blinked, momentarily stunned.
"Whoa~ Pervert, it seems your little beauty has been blown up."
Shinobu, who had been watching the show from behind, came over with a smile.
Niu Kun raised his hand and tapped Xiao Ren on the forehead, who was watching the spectacle, and then said nonchalantly, "What do you know? My little beauty is already in my hands, but... the Demon King needs to personally bring her out."
"Huh? You mean..."
Upon hearing this, Shinobu immediately understood, nodded, and said, "It seems that your familiar contract has already been imprinted on the true form of that Himegami Kodama."
"That's right, but..."
[Contract complete. Host has acquired the forty-fifth familiar!]
[The host's retinue has experienced a significant boost in both spirit and physique... The host's retinue's bloodline has undergone a mutation...]
[The host's magic power clashes with the bloodline of their familiars, causing a mutation...]
[The bloodline of the kin has been corrupted, and they have begun to turn into demons...]
[Host's retinue...begins to demonize...]
"...Why would a Kodama be demonized? Is the bloodline conflict because it contains divine blood?"
As Niu Kun was speculating, he suddenly noticed that the previously silent sealing barrier was reacting, with black light emerging from within.
"That was quite a commotion. Hmm, Minerva, Ming, you two... um, and Shinobu, you stay outside. I'm going in!"
After speaking, without waiting for a response, a dense black aura rose from Niu Kun's body. At the same time, Niu Kun also added points to the skill 'Destruction Wave' that he had recently acquired. When he added points to it to level three, he had two optional skill branches.
'Overload Destruction' and 'Light Wave Variation' represent the skill's destructive enhancement and the skill's flexible variation, respectively. Now, Niu Kun naturally chose Overload Destruction.
[Destructive Light Wave] (Level 3): The host can condense magic power into a light wave capable of generating a violent explosion. The light wave has a high destructive effect, and the damage will be determined based on the host's magic power output. This skill consumes a lot of magic power, so please use it with caution. Skill Branch (Overload Destruction): The destructive effect is doubled, but the burden on the body and the magic power consumption are also doubled.
"Watch this... Kamehameha!!"
Niu Kun, his childlike impulse flaring up, clasped his hands together and thrust them out forcefully. The condensed and compressed black energy was instantly released, forming an extremely intense wave of light that struck the crack in the sealing barrier in a flash.
(I still don't quite understand the plot details of Demon Sword Princess, but let's leave it at that for now.)
Chapter 217 Mother-in-Law
A deafening roar erupted, and the instantaneous explosion unleashed a blinding light, instantly alarming the nearby Tianri Academy. However, Niu Kun paid no heed and charged directly into the seal barrier, which had been distorted and cracked by the highly fluctuating energy.
Minerva and Yang Ming were left behind to guard the area and prevent the alerted teachers and students of Tianri Academy from entering.
—Those who have a deep desire to open the door to the Iwato, do not go any further.
What awaits them is a demon that devours even souls, a noble that leaves no corpse behind.
If you continue on your path, you will regret your own foolishness and obsession.
Its body will be completely devoured.
The space was as empty and boundless as the void of the universe, with starlight and shadows shifting and floating. Niu Kun, stepping into it, 'saw' the invisible Himegami Wood Spirit by his senses. The demonization seemed to be hindered just before it was about to be completed, and it stopped.
It must be... that 'mother-in-law' was alerted.
Niu Kun thought to himself silently, but he wasn't very surprised.
In the void, six figures appeared before Niu Kun. Among them was a graceful and beautiful figure who looked very similar to Himegami Muling, but... her figure was quite different.
Her full breasts pushed up the simple white dress, her golden hair cascading down like gilded gold, and her clear eyes fixed on Niu Kun, filled with scrutiny and suspicion.
"You are a demon... no, you are not a demon, you are a demon from beyond the realm. The changes in the wood spirits came from you, didn't you? You want to control the wood spirits?"
This seemingly very young 'mother-in-law' didn't appear very happy, but... that's understandable, after all, what 'mother-in-law' would be happy to see her 'son-in-law' be a bull-headed demon?
There was no way around it; Niu Kun's transformation time was up for the day, and he naturally reverted to his original form. Although Zunrong could compete for handsomeness in the abyss, he was obviously difficult to be accepted in human society.
"That's right, that was just a little bit of a side effect of my efforts to help Mu Ling escape the seal. You must be Mu Ling's mother. Hello, Auntie. My name is Gao Chengkun, and I'm Mu Ling's boyfriend. I came here specifically to save Mu Ling."
Niu Kun's words almost made the other party break down. Ji Shen Bajiao clenched her teeth, and veins bulged on her forehead. Whether the other party called her "Auntie" or said that she was Mu Ling's boyfriend, Ji Shen Bajiao found it hard to accept.
So Himegami Hachikaku, with a stern face, directly refused, saying, "Wh...what boyfriend? Don't talk nonsense! How could Kodama possibly be interested in someone like you...someone as ugly as you?"
"Huh? No, Aunt Himegami, how can you still hold such outdated ideas? Although I am ugly, men are all the same, whether they are rough or fine. Who in the world dislikes an ugly man!"
Upon hearing this, Niu Kun objected, shaking his finger and correcting the other person's outdated views with a pained expression. "What era are we living in? Don't you know that the most important thing for a man is to be rich, powerful, and have a huge penis?"
No, shouldn't these things have been valued more in ancient times?
"Wh...what? You actually said I'm old-fashioned...."
The 'mother-in-law' named Himegami Hachikaku automatically filtered out the others, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes. The other shikigami were even more impatient, after all, they had watched Himegami Kodama grow up since they were little.
They also couldn't accept that Mu Ling's boyfriend was a hideous demon. This blond-haired brat who appeared out of nowhere had to be severely punished.
"It seems there's no way to complete the meeting with the parents process in a gentler way after all. It's really... I feel hopeless about this looks-obsessed world!"
Niu Kun grinned and muttered something, but he wasn't really angry or upset about it. He was already used to it, and even... liked his current form more. His human form was just a disguise to win over or deceive girls.
However, whatever he thought in his heart didn't stop Niu Kun from shouting angrily, "Even if you are Mu Ling's mother, you can't stop my love for Mu Ling!!"
In pursuit of love, as soon as he finished speaking, intense flames suddenly erupted around Niu Kun, and the various shikigami around him also attacked almost simultaneously.
In an instant, the wind howled, the water surged, giant trees grew taller, a strong and muscular warrior crashed in, a treacherous old man launched a sneak attack, and Himegami Hachikaku and another beautiful and graceful female ninja attacked Niu Kun.
The battle escalated rapidly from the start, and Mu Ling's mother, Himegami Hachikaku, showed no mercy despite Niu Kun claiming to be Mu Ling's boyfriend.
After all... she wasn't blind. The wood spirit's demonization was so severe, how could it be just a minor side effect that Niu Kun claimed? Since Niu Kun wasn't leaving, then she would stay.
Of course, Niu Kun showed no intention of holding back. Moreover, he sensed that these shikigami seemed to be able to provide him with a large amount of soul energy, which made... Niu Kun's 'appetite' greatly whetted.
Perhaps, after this battle, he will be able to break through the third rank and officially advance to the fourth rank.
............
"What?! Takamagahara has been attacked?!"
Awakened, students everywhere at Tenbi Academy were asking what had happened, and soon all eyes turned to Takamagahara at the back of the academy.
Because the headmaster was absent, after a brief period of chaos, the remaining teachers led some capable students to Takamagahara to investigate, and also urgently informed the headmaster.
The news of another raid turned Rokujo Minoru's joy into anger after he had just celebrated clearing away another supernatural calamity. He kicked open the office door and rushed back home despite any attempts to stop him.
Besides Rokujo Minoru, Yamato Takeshi, who also received the news, did not believe that anyone would break the seal and take away the magical tool Habakiri sealed inside.
After a brief moment of thought, Yamato Ken still notified Kodai Akaya to check it out. Although he was also trying to track down Oshino Meme, who was holding the heart of the King of Monsters, the effectiveness of that heart was still uncertain.
On Takamagahara, sealed within is the Habakiri, a magical artifact that could allow him to ascend to godhood.
Obviously, it's more important, but... after all, it's been almost two thousand years, and Yamato no Ken doesn't think anyone can really break the seal. If anyone could, it could only be him.
With his white hair and beard and a cold and stern appearance, Yamato King Ken is no longer the kind and learned Yamato King Ken of more than ten years ago. His true identity is actually Yamato Martial Venerable, who has been sealed for thousands of years.
More accurately, the original Yamato Takeru was possessed by the Yamato Takeru who broke free from the seal. The Yamato Takeru, whose soul is immortal, can possess bodies along his own bloodline, and unfortunately, Yamato Takeru is a descendant of the Yamato Takeru.
After being reborn through possession, Yamato Takeru... or rather, Yamato Warrior established the God Hunt and conducted cloning experiments similar to those conducted with the syringe. However, Yamato Takeru used his own bloodline to create clones.
"That... Himegami Kodama... if I'm not mistaken, it should be... her. So the way to break the seal should also be with her."
