Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 189 Regret
Yang Liu broke the naginata in his hand and activated his ability to absorb it. He then decisively climbed up the wall and flew towards the demon that was reorganizing below.

On the way of falling, Yang Liu picked up the half-destroyed rune scroll next to him and used his ability to absorb it.

In a short period of time, only a musket was left among the four core members of Inunaki God.

Seeing Yang Liu attacking again, Inunaki God's regeneration speed suddenly accelerated. All four of his hands transformed into bone blades, and he simply inserted the cracked musket into the cavity in his chest.

"die!"

Amid the roar of muskets, four bone blades stabbed towards Yang Liu, and Inunaki God made his final struggle.

But even during the battle, Yang Liu was constantly absorbing the power of the domain to strengthen himself. The strength gap between the two sides continued to widen with the passage of time, and the outcome of the battle was already doomed.

Finally, as the barrel of the musket exploded, the black crystalline heart rolled to his feet, and Inunaki God could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.

"How can it be……"

He looked at Yang Liu with disbelief. There were fang-like lumps under his skin, and then they faded away like dry leaves.

Soon, most of Inunaki God's originally seven-meter-tall body turned into ashes and flew away, leaving only a huge dog head and a dried human body with a big hole in the chest.

Then the skin of the dog's head quickly dried and peeled off, revealing a dry human face covered with scales.

Even though he was on the verge of death, Inunaki God, who had regressed into a human body, still stared at Yang Liu unwillingly, looking at the black energy that continued to flow into his body and couldn't understand it:

"Why... I have been setting up here for decades, why are you absorbing it faster than me?!"

Yang Liu leaned over and picked up the black crystal heart. Under the influence of her own ability, the crystal heart melted in her hands at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Hearing Inunakigami's question, he glanced at his defeated opponent lying beside him with a half-smile:

"Oh? Is this question really difficult for you to understand?"

It seemed that Yang Liu's words touched some pain point in him. Inunaki God raised his head angrily with all his strength and glared at Yang Liu:

"I have been preparing for this for 50 years. Do you know how much I have paid for this?! When I was struggling, you weren't even born yet. How can you overwhelm me as soon as you come? I don't accept it, I don't accept it!!"

"So, what's so strange about this?"

Yang Liu raised her leg and stepped on Inunaki God's chest, pushing his head back down. She brushed off the dust on her body, leaned over and stared at him teasingly:

"The owner of this place doesn't like you as a bandit, so he would rather give his energy to me than to you. It's no wonder that I can outstrip you in terms of energy absorption rate."

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is my territory and I am the master here..."

"Really? Can't you see them?" Yang Liu pointed behind herself.

"you……"

Inunaki Gami wanted to argue something, but inadvertently followed Yang Liu's finger and looked behind him. His pupils suddenly contracted and his face was full of fear.

"This... is impossible!!!" Behind Yang Liu, the ruins of Inunaki Village suddenly emerged from the originally pitch-black deep well.

That was not the appearance of Inunaki Village in the realm, but the ruins of Inunaki Village that was deeply engraved in the man’s memory and was once destroyed by his own hands.

The well wall above suddenly shook, and countless translucent shadows of villagers were gathering. They shed their demonic forms and returned to the appearance of farmers from the old times, kneeling deeply towards Yang Liu's back.

"This... You can't fool me! This is an illusion, this is an hallucination!! I have turned all their souls into energy, there is no way there are any remaining souls!"

"Who said that? Didn't you miss a soul?"

Yang Liu turned her head and looked at the shadow of a witch at the front of the kneeling crowd.

Feeling Yang Liu's gaze, the witch slowly raised her head. Her face, which was not beautiful after years of hard work, showed a look of gratitude when she met Yang Liu's gaze.

When he saw this ordinary face, Inunaki Gami's body shook, and the speed of his physical collapse accelerated.

"She...she...how is it possible?!"

Yang Liu sighed helplessly, but in order to obtain the gifts from the ghosts, she could only patiently explain to this guy, making his death even more unwilling:
"It's not her. You have been living as Inunaki God for so many years. Have you ever thought that in the beginning, the so-called Inunaki Village was just a small shrine dedicated to Inunaki God?

Although the priests and shrine maidens in the shrine can only perform magic to fool people, they are kind-hearted and willing to help homeless children, which is why this shrine has evolved into a small village. "

"what do you want to say in the end?!"

"So..." Yang Liu raised her head and looked towards the wellhead.

As he continued to absorb energy, the entire Inunaki Village was on the verge of collapse. The scene outside was becoming more and more unreal, and the entire area would soon collapse completely.

"Although Inunaki Shrine is only a small shrine without even a man-made god, as a shrine, it still has equipment to receive positive emotions from believers. Do you think the children who were rescued will be grateful to this god?"

"You...you mean?" Inunaki God suddenly understood.

“That’s right, that positive energy itself is a part of human spiritual power, so when you absorb that positive energy, it also means that you yourself become a tool to carry the souls of these villagers.

You are a lucky guy. From the moment you planned to replace Inunakigami, your plan was doomed to fail!
If you had not met me, and had successfully completed the last step of the plan, I'm afraid you would have been betrayed by the souls hidden in your body, and you might have died a more miserable death."

"I... I..." Inunaki Gami collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the wellhead that was about to disappear, unable to believe that his plan had failed from the very beginning.

"After saying so much, you're almost suffocated to death, this... officer." Yang Liu suddenly became interested, controlled his vocal cords, and said the word imitating the voice of the witch in his memory.

The familiar voice made the already extremely weak Inunakigami fall into memories. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the figure he saw for the first time when he woke up on the hospital bed.

It was just a run-down little village, the villagers even used leaves as clothes to cover their bodies, the only building was the dilapidated shrine, and the food was so crude that it was something he, a son of a wealthy family, had never seen before.

He didn't stay in that village for a long time, but inexplicably, even during the time when he sealed himself as Inunaki God, he would unconsciously recall that time.

"If... I had done it back then... maybe things would have been different..."
