[You and the Onmyoji hold the token, pass through the "Absolute Boundary Guarding the Ten Directions", and step into the magnificent palace side by side...]
[There are many statues on both sides of the hall. These statues are all shikigami in different forms. The shikigami statues are lifelike with their teeth and claws spread. 】
[Their eyes seem to be staring at you, as if if you make any move, the statues will wake up as living creatures and devour you cruelly...]
[At the end of the palace are two thrones. On both sides are female maids standing with hands down. The throne on the left is empty, while an old woman is leaning on the throne on the right. 】
[From the luxurious hunting clothes it wears and the black crown on its head, it can be seen that this person is noble and powerful...]
[You discovered the ‘Deputy Palace Master of Ixie Palace who worships fire’! 】
[The onmyoji next to you leads you all the way to the throne and bows in salute. 】
[It truthfully reported to the Deputy Palace Master what happened in ‘Fukang Castle’...]
【……】
[Halfway through the sentence, the deputy palace master became furious. His original intention was to send people to the ‘Otaki Mansion’ to investigate clues and capture the daring evil remnant. 】
[Unexpectedly, the remnant of the evil spirit was not caught, but instead a large number of Onmyoji were killed. 】
[The senior Onmyoji trembled under the anger of the Deputy Palace Master, and quickly knelt down and pointed at you to explain. Although a lot of manpower was lost this time, it was not completely without gain. 】
[You are an exotic mage with high magic power. With your help, they can destroy the monsters causing chaos in Fukang City. And most importantly, the exotic mage's spells are completely different from those of Sakura Luo! 】
[The power of foreign magic is astonishing. If they can communicate and complement each other, perhaps the disciples of Yixie Palace can be far superior to ordinary onmyojis, making Yixie Palace even more powerful...]
[The deputy palace master will be doubtful when he hears this. He is telling you to perform the magic. If what he said is true, he will definitely be generous with the reward...]
[Arrogant apostle, do you want to cast a spell? 】
[You raised the two staffs and were about to recite the incantation when you suddenly spoke up to remind you that the exotic spells were very powerful. If the deputy palace master did not protect himself, it would probably cause a catastrophe...]
['Deputy Palace Master of Yixie Palace of Fire Worshipers' raised his eyes, the wrinkles on his face became more and more profound. He waved his hand and said bluntly, it doesn't matter, please ask the foreign mage to use the most powerful spell. If I can't stop it, this'
The deputy palace master of Yixie Palace is not the right one!】
Lin Xun grinned.
In this case, he would not be polite.
It's rare to see a monster that actively asks for a fight, and it's even rarer to see a monster that waits for him to finish chanting a spell for a long time without fighting back.
I feel sorry for myself if I don't take advantage of this opportunity. If I kill the deputy palace master with one blow and get the body of a high-level Onmyoji in vain, I will wake up laughing in my dreams.
Do not hesitate to unleash the strongest skill - 'Light of the Meteor' on the 'Deputy Palace Master'!
[You raise two staffs and chant complicated and lengthy spells...]
[With the chanting of the mantra, the starlight gathers in front of you, from a faint light of stars to a dazzling brilliance...]
[At first, the deputy palace master was still leaning on the throne, but he could see that the stars were getting brighter and brighter, and the fluctuations in the spells also changed from weak to strong, and then to terrifying...]
[It quickly stood up, waved its hand to signal you to interrupt the spell, and claimed that it believed that foreign spells were powerful and no longer doubted it. 】
【Do you want to interrupt the spell release? 】
Lin Xun decisively refused, knowing that interrupting the spell release would cause backlash.
In the previous game process, the president's shell has used injuries to verify this fact.
[You shake your head and continue to chant the spell, indicating that once the spell is cast, it cannot be stopped halfway.]
['The deputy palace master of Yixie Palace who worships fire' was shocked when he heard this. Seeing the fluctuations of the spells coming from the bright starlight becoming more and more frightening, it hurriedly formed seals and chanted curses...]
[A small defensive barrier rose quickly. This barrier was extremely solid, but it could only contain one person. 】
[It feels that it is not safe to defend like this, so it chants the incantation again to summon the shikigami...]
[An ugly figure with black crow wings on its back and a red body appeared out of thin air.]
[The 'Kurotengu' monster's eyes were lifeless. Driven by the deputy palace master, he hugged the small barrier and stretched out the black crow wings behind him. Even the human and barrier were wrapped and protected under the wings. 】
[The female maid onmyoji next to the throne, and the high-ranking onmyoji next to you are stunned and stunned on the spot...]
[You pronounce the last syllable of the spell...]
[The starlight containing huge power is compressed sharply, and the bright and dazzling starlight illuminates the entire magnificent palace!]
[The stars bloom in an instant...]
[Like a supernova explosion, releasing the endless destructive power of falling stars!]
[Nothing around you can escape the baptism of the destroying starlight. In the dazzling light, the high-ranking Onmyoji beside you was evaporated without even screaming. 】
[Many shikigami statues in the palace were also turned into rubble and powder by this blow.]
[The entire palace is crumbling. If it were not for the support of the ‘Absolute Boundary Guarding the Ten Directions’, I am afraid that the magnificent palace would cease to exist. 】
【……】
[When the starlight goes out...]
[At the end of the palace, only a bruised ‘Katsutengu’ shikigami is left to protect the old woman in his arms. The two thrones and several maids Onmyoji have been reduced to ashes. 】
[You defeated the ‘Fire Worshiping Master Onmyoji’, and your experience points increased slightly. 】
[You defeated the ‘Fire Worshiping Maid Onmyoji’...]
【You defeated...】
[You have obtained the ‘Evil-dispelling Royal String’ (rare weapon)]
[You have obtained the ‘maid’s undergarment’ (waste product)]
[You have obtained the ‘Waitress’ Hunting Clothes’ (ordinary level equipment)]
[You have obtained the ‘Token of Absolute Realm’ (key)]
"Tsk... It's a pity that I didn't kill this old woman."
Lin Xun touched his chin and felt that the 'Light of the Meteor Star' was not powerful enough.
[The 'Katsutengu' Shikigami folded his black crow wings, and there was no expression on his ugly face, as if he could not feel the pain caused by the tragic injury at all. 】
[The ‘Deputy Palace Master of Yixie Palace, who worships fire’, removes the defensive barrier around it, scans the messy palace, and stares at you with a gloomy face...]
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lin Xun raised his eyebrows.
This old woman wouldn't be so angry that she would break out in anger.
He was on full alert, ready for war at any time.
It is very unwise to start a fight in someone else's lair, but he does not have the right to take the lead at the moment.
[‘Deputy Palace Master of Yixie Palace who worships fire’’s face was as dark as water. After a while, it squeezed out an embarrassed smile, touched its palms and praised...]
[Exotic spells are really powerful. I used to sit in a well and watch the sky...]
[You smile modestly and claim that foreign magic is different from Sakura Fall. It is about concentrating great power on oneself rather than focusing on cultivating shikigami. Both have their own merits. Deputy Palace Master does not need to belittle yourself. 】
[The deputy palace master's face turned slightly when he heard this, but you changed the subject and asked it, since the foreign magic is quite powerful, does the reward still count? 】
[As soon as these words came out, the old woman’s eyes widened. 】
[After a long time, it squeezed out two words from between its teeth: Count! 】
[The deputy palace master took out a dark stone from his arms. It didn’t look like there was anything special about it. 】
[It did not ask you to come forward to receive it, nor did it take the initiative to come to you to give you a reward. Instead, it handed the stone to the 'Katsutengu' and asked the Yokai Shikigami to pass it to you. 】
[Obviously the deputy palace master is deeply afraid of your magical power.]
[The ‘Katsutengu’ covered in scars comes to you, hands you the black stone, and then quickly returns to the deputy palace master, never leaving. 】
[You have obtained the ‘Rough Killing Stone’ (epic level prop)]
['Rough Killing Stone' (epic-level prop): A pitch-black stone that looks unremarkable at first glance. But if you look closely, you can see bright red lines on the surface of the stone as thin as hair.
, like bloodshot eyes.]
[Use this prop, and then assist with related skills, to suppress and conquer ‘monster-like’ summoned beasts. 】
[The deputy palace master saw you looking at the stone in your hand for a long time, and seemed to want to ease the atmosphere, so he opened his mouth to introduce it to you...]
[If an Onmyoji wants to subdue a 'yokai' shikigami, he must defeat the monster, and then use a counterweight such as a 'killing stone', combined with the onmyoji's unique techniques, to suppress the monster and subdue him into a shikigami.
...]
[Years ago, there was a legendary great monster, the nine-tailed fox, who transformed into a beautiful woman through the 'technique of transformation' and sneaked into the Kyoto Imperial Palace in an attempt to use her beauty to seduce the general. 】
[The General saw through the conspiracy of the nine-tailed fox named ‘Algae Girl’ and killed her with one sword. After the nine-tailed fox died, the resentment lingered for a long time and turned into many killing stones. 】
【This is the origin of the black stone in your hand.】
I originally thought that the deputy palace master would directly give a shikigami as a gift. Even if it is not a powerful shikigami like 'Karasu Tengu', he should give it to a decent shikigami.
As a result, the deputy palace master only gave him a piece of "suppressor" used to suppress the shikigami. For Lin Xun, who did not know the magic of Onmyoji, this stone was no different from junk.
"This old woman still has something up her sleeve. She obviously wants to exchange spells with each other and is afraid that I will keep them secretly..."
If you want to use the "Suppressant", you must first learn the techniques of the Onmyoji, but if you want to learn the techniques of the Onmyoji, you must use your own skills in exchange.
"Ha, but you never thought... I can also gain subjugation skills by possessing an Onmyoji."
However, now that we are in the Onmyoji's lair, and the Deputy Palace Master has the 'Kurotengu' guarding her at all times, the probability of success is really low.
Lin Xun was ready to find the right moment to take action, kill the deputy palace master, and seize the body of Onmyoji.
The Onmyoji is obviously a fragile profession. The best strategy is to sneak attack before the Onmyoji summons a shikigami or casts a defensive barrier, and kills it with the force of thunder.
It's a pity that the chuunin bodies in the body column are relatively weak. If you have a high-level assassin body, you can kill the deputy palace master without anyone noticing and seize the body.
[The deputy palace master saw that the palace was in a mess and invited you to move to another place to discuss and exchange your respective spells in detail...]
[You and the deputy palace master leave the palace. When you walk, it always keeps a few steps away from you, and the humanoid ‘Katsutengu’ beside you never leaves. 】
[The deputy palace master ordered his servants to clean the palace, and then led you to another smaller palace. 】
[Halfway along the way, you suddenly hear the sound of people coming from afar. Go in search of the sound.]
[I saw many onmyojis surrounding a high platform, and there seemed to be figures fighting on the high platform...]
[The 'Deputy Palace Master of the Fire Worshiping Onmyoji' sees that you are quite curious about this, so he will introduce to you that this is a grand ceremony held every five years in the 'Ixie Palace', called the 'Shikigami Dharma Festival'. 】
[The powwow is a battle of skills in which onmyojis control shikigami. During this period, no other spells are allowed. Those who come first in the powwow will be rewarded...]
[You can’t help but ask what the highest reward of the ‘Shikigami Ceremony’ is.]
[The deputy palace master is not in a hurry to exchange spells, but will take you to the high platform of the Dharma Assembly...]
[While walking, I will introduce to you that the ‘Shikigami Assembly’ is mainly participated by the younger generation of onmyojis in the palace. The main purpose is to compete with each other to discover their own shortcomings in order to achieve the purpose of common progress. 】
[Shikigami battles are a great test of the onmyoji’s control skills. The same shikigami’s performance in the hands of different onmyojis varies greatly. 】
[If a fledgling Onmyoji can use even 10% of the Shikigami's own strength, he is considered to be extremely talented.]
[As you speak, you have approached the high platform. When the Onmyojis around you saw the deputy palace master, they all bowed respectfully and made way for a passage. 】
[There is a row of seats in front of the high platform, and several onmyojis in gorgeous hunting clothes serve as referees.]
[There is a beautiful woman trapped in the barrier next to the seat. The woman has smooth ice-blue hair and is wearing a white furisode kimono. The woman kneeling on the ground has tears in her eyes, looking very pitiful. 】
[The woman seemed to feel your gaze and looked at you asking for help.]
[You discovered the ‘tracing the mountain snow girl’! 】
[The deputy palace master points to the woman trapped in the barrier and tells you that this is the first-class reward of this year’s Shikigami Ceremony.]
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! [However, foreign mage must not be deceived by the woman’s stunning appearance, that is a monster ‘Snow Girl’! 】
[The ‘Snow Girl’ was originally a fairy of ice and snow. She transformed into this humanoid appearance using the ‘Art of Transformation’. Countless mortals were deceived by her appearance and all ended up dead. 】
[When the ‘high-ranking onmyojis’ at the table saw the deputy palace master coming, they all stood up to give up their seats and saluted respectfully. 】
[The deputy palace master introduced to them that you are a distinguished guest of the ‘Yixie Palace’, a powerful mage from a foreign country, and the power of your spells is extremely powerful, far beyond that of Yingluo...]
[After hearing this, several of the 'high-ranking Onmyoji' still saluted you, but their faces showed dissatisfaction.]
[You noticed that the deputy palace master seemed to be secretly winking at one of the Onmyoji.]
[The 'high-ranking Onmyoji' will come out immediately, claiming that he has admired foreign magic for a long time and wants to have a discussion with you...]
[The deputy palace master smiled slightly and tried to persuade him. He had already seen foreign spells and they were indeed extremely powerful. It would be better not to humiliate himself. 】
[However, the foreign magic technique is to gather great power into oneself, but I don’t know how accomplished the shikigami is. Can the foreign mage give some guidance to the disciples in the palace so that they can see the way of the foreign shikigami? 】
[Do you want to agree to compete with the ‘high-ranking fire-worshiping Onmyoji’ to summon creatures? 】
"Haha...this old woman really doesn't want to suffer a little loss."
Lin Xun used the 'Light of the Meteoric Star' to gain the upper hand in the palace, making the deputy palace owner lose face.
Now that the deputy palace master heard that the president was only proficient in damage output and not good at summoning beasts to fight, he wanted to win back a victory so that he could regain his dominant position in the subsequent exchange of spells.
It's just that the deputy palace master didn't know that Lin Xun was not interested in the exchange of spells at all, nor would he think of exchanging low-level skills for other people's high-level skills.
What should I change? Wouldn’t it be nice to have sex with him for free?
[You quickly and humbly declined, saying frankly that you are not proficient in shikigami. If you compete with shikigami, I am afraid you will make me laugh. 】
[The ‘Fire Worshiping Onmyoji’ looked unkind when he heard this and shouted loudly, is it possible that a foreign magician doesn’t bother to point it out?!]
[It had a loud voice and a rather angry tone, causing a group of young onmyojis to watch and discuss. 】
[You look at the deputy palace master and see that it is looking at the eyes, nose and heart. You understand in your heart, and point to the monster "Snow Girl" trapped in the barrier beside you, and whisper softly...]
[It’s okay if you give me some pointers, but I heard that in Yingluo, you have to pay an ‘apprenticeship ceremony’ to learn the art. 】
[As a visitor from a foreign country, it is basic etiquette to follow the local customs. If it is satisfied with the instructions, use this 'snow girl' as a apprenticeship ceremony! 】
[As soon as these words came out, all the Onmyoji masters were immediately in an uproar.]
[The 'Snow Girl' is the highest reward of this ceremony. The high-ranking Onmyoji did not dare to accept it lightly, so he had to look at the deputy palace master. 】
[The eyes of the 'Deputy Palace Master of Fire Worship' flashed, and he announced in public that a foreign mage will now teach the disciples of 'Ixie Palace' the shikigami way, and no other spells or talismans are allowed to be used during this period.]
[If the foreign mage gives proper guidance, then Yixie Palace will not be stingy with a ‘Snow Girl’. 】
"Since you have to give me a summoned beast, I can only accept it with a smile."
The 'Fine Bronze Sand Hammer' in the inventory is flashing, as if the Valkyrie can't wait to fight.
