[The battle between the shikigami on the high platform was stopped, and two young onmyoji came down in a hurry.]

[You and the ‘high-ranking fire-worshiping Onmyoji’ ascended to the high platform in the eyes of many people.]

[The onmyoji in the audience were talking a lot, and soon, the foreign mage, who was proficient in magic but not good at shikigami, spread his words boldly and wanted to teach the "Isha Palace" shikigami. 】

[For a time, many Onmyojis cheered for the ‘guru’ who was competing with you, and many young and angry eyes stared at you. 】

[You noticed that the deputy palace master in the audience summoned a high-ranking onmyoji who was a 'referee' and whispered into its ear quietly...]

[Soon, the referee Onmyoji came out and announced loudly, since you are a mage from a foreign country and are not familiar with the rules of the 'Shikigami Assembly', I hereby inform you...]

[The shikigami ritual has to be fought by two shikigami, and each master can only control his own shikigami and cannot release other spells.]

[If one shikigami is unable to fight anymore or falls off the stage, even if the other side wins, of course they can also take the initiative to admit defeat. 】

[Since this competition is for the foreign mage to give guidance to Yixie Palace, a single competition obviously cannot achieve the purpose of all-round guidance. 】

[So the competition is divided into three rounds, and each round requires both sides to send out different shikigami to compete, so that the foreign mage can guide the way of shikigami in an "all-round way". 】

"Hey guys, a good shikigami battle has turned into a Pokémon battle?"

He only has two summoned beasts, one is the Valkyrie, and the other is the three-headed lion.

Needless to say, the strength of the Valkyrie is of course capable of winning a victory.

After being transformed into flesh and blood, the three-headed lion's own strength has increased sharply, and it has the bug-like characteristic of self-healing and immortality. In a shikigami battle, it can drag the opponent to death even if he exchanges injuries for injuries.

Without any surprise, we can win a victory.

However, the first two battles are easy to solve, but what should we do in the third battle?

According to Yixie Palace’s ‘Overlord Clause’, the rule of best-of-three games obviously does not apply here.

Since the other party clearly stated that he was giving advice, as long as Lin Xun lost a game, he couldn't bear the word "pointing".

The onmyoji who killed the bancho samurai has already received his lunch, but there is more than one onmyoji who returned to Isha Palace with him.

It is estimated that other onmyoji just secretly informed the deputy palace master that he had a shikigami that showed great power in Fukang City, so they temporarily set up such a rule.

"There are not enough summoned beasts bullying me, right?"

Lin Xun looked at the 'shabby wooden board' in the inventory.

As long as you use this item, you can summon your own boss "Shipwrecked Mage".

However, this prop is obviously not applicable here. The people in the audience are all professional onmyoji, and they can tell at a glance whether the summoned is a 'yokai shikigami' or an 'evil remnant'.

If we ignore the summoning of the 'shipwrecked mage', I'm afraid that the shikigami ceremony will turn into a siege against the 'remnants of evil spirits'.

Moreover, this prop is very precious, and using it in a shikigami ceremony is undoubtedly a killing opportunity.

[The Onmyoji opposite you on the high platform saw your hesitant expression and said loudly, is it possible that the foreign mage has some difficulties that he would like to point out? If so, he can just admit defeat...]

【Are you going to give up the summoned beast battle, or continue? 】

Lin Xun hesitated for a moment and pressed the continue option.

[Everyone in the audience cheers and cheers for their own onmyoji, but they can’t help but boo you...]

[Under the guidance of the referee, you and the enemy Onmyoji will retreat to the corners of the high platform. 】

[As long as the referee gives the order, both sides must summon shikigami to fight at the same time. 】

【……】

[Please choose the summoned beast you want to send into battle...]

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, his thoughts changing rapidly.

If the enemy already knows the existence of the ‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’.

There is a high probability that the first summoned beast dispatched will not be the strongest summoned beast under his command.

The opponent is likely to use Tian Ji's horse racing skills and send a weak shikigami against the Valkyrie to lose one game first, and then use their full strength in the next two battles.

As long as the other party can win one game, the word "pointing" is not valid. If the other party can win two games, the foreign mage's reputation will be tarnished, and he will naturally have to be controlled by others in subsequent exchanges of spells.

From Yi Xie Palace's point of view, magic exchange is a transaction that both parties urgently need. Whoever has the stronger voice can obtain more benefits at a smaller price in the transaction.

"In that case, I'll make a bet!"

[You take out the ‘Little Devil Shikigami Rattle’! 】

[You inject 10,000 points of spirituality (upper limit) into this special equipment, and sacrifice a large amount of spirituality to summon the shikigami—‘Little Evil Ghost’! 】

[At the same time, the enemy Onmyoji has also summoned shikigami...]

[It was a green-furred Yokai shikigami. It had a pointed beak like a bird, webbed limbs similar to a frog, and a body like an ape. 】

[The most eye-catching thing is the large turtle shell on the monster's back and the depression on the top of its head. The saucer-shaped depression is filled with clear water and reflects the light in the setting sun. 】

【You discovered the ‘Shikigami·Yōkai Kappa’! 】

[As the ‘Little Devil Shikigami Rattle’ swayed, an inexplicable dark wind blew across the high platform, and eighteen black shadows quietly emerged! 】

[They are as short as children, but they have green faces, fangs, and ferocious expressions. They may hold knives, sticks, or forks...]

[The bodies of the eighteen ‘little evil ghosts’ are as dark as a swamp, and they are almost insubstantial, and they emit bursts of shrill ghost cries from time to time. 】

[The enemy Onmyoji was stunned when he saw the eighteen little devils. He naturally recognized that these little devils were a set of conjoined shikigami, which does not violate the rules of the competition.]

[It was shocked that you did not summon the rumored powerful girl shikigami, but instead summoned eighteen little evil spirits. 】

[These eighteen little evil ghost shikigami appear to be solid in form, and their strength is obviously extraordinary.]

[But according to the returning Onmyoji, you only summoned that girl shikigami in the battle at Ukioka Castle. In such a tragic battle, how could you not try your best? 】

[It can be seen that either you do not have other shikigami, or your other shikigami are too weak to play a role in the battle, so the girl shikigami is the only shikigami you can use...]

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! [Its original intention is to drive the kappa in the first battle, and use the strong defense of the kappa to persist for a while before giving in, making it difficult for the loser in the first battle to

It would be too embarrassing.]

[In the next two battles, you will have to surrender obediently...]

【……】

[The enemy onmyoji takes a deep breath, forms a seal and chants a mantra, and drives the kappa forward to attack...]

[Different from the effect you summoned by using a little spiritual sacrifice last time, the eighteen 'little evil ghosts' now have solid souls, ferocious figures, and black energy lingering in the air when waving swords, guns and sticks, just like those who climbed up from hell to the world.

Soul Seducer.]

[You shake the bell in your hand, and eighteen little devils surround the kappa...]

[Just when the Kappa was about to launch an attack, he saw dense numbers of sharp swords coming towards him. As a last resort, the enemy Onmyoji could only force the Kappa to defend. 】

[It retracts its head and limbs into the large turtle shell, leaving no trace of its body outside.]

[The dense weapons hit the turtle shell, and there was a jingling sound.]

[The green-haired kappa remained motionless for a while, letting the little devils wield knives and sticks, making endless jingling noises. 】

[Seeing this, the little devils attacked harder, but the weapons were still unable to break through the defense of the turtle shell...]

[The enemy Onmyoji was worried at first, but now he sees that the attacks of the little devils are ineffective, so he feels relieved. 】

[It loudly introduces to you that foreign mages may have never seen this kind of shikigami. Kappa is a water fairy. This kind of monster is not famous for its powerful attack, but is famous for its strong defensive ability. ]

[I wonder if the foreign mage can break through the kappa's defense and give some advice on how to attack the shikigami?]

"Haha...this guy still dares to be so evil?"

Lin Xun had already thought of a way to win, but when he was about to use it, he was ridiculed by the enemy.

The way to win is very simple. The rules state that as long as you beat the shikigami until he is unable to fight again or get to a high platform, you will win.

The kappa behaved like a turtle, only being beaten without fighting back. The little devils were unable to knock him down for a while.

But as long as the little devils lift the turtle shell and throw it off the high platform, they can easily win.

I wanted to win without bloodshed, but the enemy Onmyoji's shikigami were not very good at it, but he had a special skill with Yin and Yang's strange energy. No wonder he was called Onmyoji.

Wouldn't it be too cheap to simply let it lose a game?

Lin Xun opened the panel, unloaded a series of heavy weapons and discarded them on the ground.

Among them are the ‘Ancient Dragon Teeth Club’, ‘Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’, ‘Chain Blade: Call of the Underworld’, ‘Golden Roc Raptor Claw’, ‘Hidden Blade – Widow Maker’…

However, he was cautious and did not reveal the Otaki family's heirloom, the 'Tachi Uzuki Onikiri'.

[You took out a bunch of strange weapons one after another and threw them on the ground, making a jingling sound.]

[Every time a seemingly powerful weapon is thrown down, it is like hitting the enemy Onmyoji's heart, causing him to tremble with fear.]

[‘The high-ranking Onmyoji who worships fire’ asked cautiously, why did the foreign mage do such a thing? 】

[You glance at it and give instructions in a loud voice. Today, you will teach it the first lesson in the way of attacking Shikigami, and your strength will work miracles!]

[After saying that, the little devils stopped attacking and retreated in front of you, throwing away the broken swords, guns and sticks in their hands, and picking up the high-quality weapons that were shining on the ground. 】

[One by one, they have long fangs and claws, swarming towards the green-haired kappa again...]

[While all the Onmyoji were stunned, the screams of kappas were heard from the circle of little devils, and soon green blood filled the high platform. 】
