I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 118: Bai Prajna's promotion item, the curse of the young human form (8.6k, please vote!)
Are these old men in cassocks really Buddhist masters?
Uesugi Tetsu looked around several times and had a conversation with Lord Ershaku.

Then he discovered that the three masters who flew out of the Amitabha Hall, although seriously injured, did not seem to be extremely weak due to exhaustion of spiritual power.

It's more like his physical strength or spiritual power fluctuations have not reached one star at all.

But the two young monks beside him cried out in shock after seeing the faces of the three old men.
"Uncle Xuanji!"

"Elder Huideng!"

"Master Kukai!"

Uesugi Che showed a subtle expression - the Buddhist names of these three people sounded like those of some enlightened monks who lived in seclusion in the mountains, and were ghost-like figures who could suppress big demons with just one move.

It turned out that the strongest one could only barely touch the edge of one star, which could be called "half-star peak perfection".

The monk Kūkai, who was wearing a bright red cassock and had the strongest aura, looked at the young monk with difficulty, spat out a mouthful of blood, and murmured slowly,
"Hui Ming... go tell everyone to escape, quickly! We're no match for this humanoid demon!"

The young monk named Huiming was stunned for a moment, then looked into the depths of the hall and found that several elders were still holding on. However, if they continued like this, they would inevitably be defeated one by one.

"This……"

Huiming clenched his fists hesitantly.

After more than ten seconds of careful observation, Uesugi Tetsu finally confirmed the true identity of the demon that was wreaking havoc in Amida Hall.

——[Official woman form (one and a half stars)]

When Uesugi Che saw this prompt for the first time, he even suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.

When did this one and a half star monster become so powerful?
How could a demon with the same strength as Nishaku-sama actually destroy the entire Honganji branch temple?

Could it be that the version was updated while he was taking a nap in the car?

But Uesugi Che immediately realized that it was not that the official woman was powerful, but that the cultivation of these kind-looking old elder monks wearing cassocks... was not up to par.

The vermilion Kaga Kiyomitsu fell into Uesugi Tetsu's palm.

He looked through the broken wooden door into the depths of Amitabha Hall.

"Uuuuuu——"

Sad cries echoed from the hall, and the originally faint resentment deepened a little, making the young monk Huiming finally make up his mind.

"Donor Uesugi, please run!" The young monk showed a determined look and said to Uesugi Che, who had been silent until now, "Donor, you just happened to come here for something, so there is no need to bear this karma."

Huiming said this, and after asking another fellow disciple to run and shout for everyone to flee, he awkwardly formed the Buddhist hand seal, preparing to rush into the Amitabha Hall.

If it were placed in some passionate and righteous stories, the next scene would be that the young monk Huiming was defeated by the official woman who was still powerful even though she was injured, and then he would enter the memory, explode and kill the official woman to save everyone.

"Oh, don't be impatient."

Uesugi Tetsu reached out and gently pressed the little monk's shoulders, and the Prajna mask and four-tailed fox jade pendant on his waist fell quietly.

Huiming felt as if a huge mountain had suddenly fallen on his shoulders, making him unable to move, and he couldn't even lift his toes even a little bit.

"Donor...donor?"

Huiming was stunned to see Uesugi Che's aura suddenly changed, and he lost his ordinary passerby feeling. He saw him walk over her shoulder calmly and heard him say,
"Wouldn't it have been better if you had told me earlier that this was just a little demon? I could have easily helped you deal with it."

As Huiming was watching in shock, Uesugi Tetsu, who had just walked in front of him, suddenly disappeared from his original position, and then turned into a phantom flashing with thunder and white mist, and arrived at the door of Amitabha Hall in less than a moment.

The man with the scarlet sword on his hip raised his eyes halfway and said with a hint of amusement, "Put down the masters, and I can let you die quickly."

The rumbling sound of wind came later, sweeping away all the wood chips and debris at the entrance of Amitabha Hall, as if announcing his arrival.

The female official figure stood on the thick black hair that spread across most of the hall. She stopped her actions of encircling the remaining masters of Honganji and looked towards the door vigilantly.

The black hair that was originally piled up and tangled stopped and was all aimed at Uesugi Che who was standing at the door.

Although the official female figure, as a puppet endowed with resentment, does not have a very high intelligence, its instinct is warning it.

——The man in front of me is very dangerous!
Several Honganji masters also saw Uesugi Tetsu, so they made seals again and spoke at the same time.
"Donor, please leave quickly! We old men can still hold it off for a while!"

"Donor, there's no need to die for us!"

A faint Buddha light lit up in the Amitabha Hall, but was suddenly interrupted by thick black hair.

The official woman was stunned for a moment.

Why didn’t I feel the physical sensation of being hit on my hair?

The tiny flashes of lightning slowly dissipated in the air. The masters only saw a flash before their eyes, and then they found themselves standing behind the young donor for some unknown reason.

Uesugi Tetsu's hand was on the hilt of Kaga Kiyomitsu's sword, but he still didn't dare to pull it out.

He glanced back and smiled at the old monks from Honganji who were seriously injured.
"Masters, it's you who should leave."

Uesugi Tetsu turned back to stare at the slightly trembling figure of the official woman. A voice came from the front: "Can the masters please stay away from me and don't interfere with me?"

At this time, several Honganji monks realized what had just happened and quickly retreated.

"Okay, the place is almost cleared."

Uesugi Tetsu slowly pulled Kaga Kiyomitsu out of the sheath, and the pale hair like clouds and mist fell down, and he curled the corners of his mouth indifferently.

"Then let me test the knife on you first."

"Ugh——!"

The female official figure let out a dry and sharp cry, her black hair growing rapidly, rising madly from the broken seal on the ground, and rushing straight towards Uesugi Che.

Tick.

There was a sound like water dripping on the wooden floor.

So in the blink of an eye, the black hair that almost blocked Uesugi Che's vision froze in mid-air.

Then, one section after another faded and lost its color, and finally turned into gray hair that broke and fell into the pale area.

The official woman stood there in a daze, unable to comprehend what was happening before her eyes.

"Is the passive effect alone really that powerful?"

Uesugi Tetsu raised his eyebrows in surprise. He held Kaga Kiyomitsu tightly with both hands and exhaled a hot breath with electric light: "Come, let me see how much you have changed from before."

Kaga Kiyomitsu responded with a pleasant, clear hum.

"Suck--"

Coronal Breathing Method: Form 1!

The blade flashed much more quietly and swiftly than before, illuminating from the thick black hair and cutting off a large section of insignificant hair.

"what--!"

However, the female official figure let out a howl of extreme pain.

Large clumps of black hair quickly fell off and lost their color. In just a few seconds, the black hair, which was both flexible and rigid and was her main means of attack, turned into gray-white garbage on the ground.

There was even a hint of grayish-white color appearing on the official woman's fair appearance. The sudden sadness and anger kept intertwining and tearing in her heart, causing it to shed red tears of blood.

And all this was caused by Kaga Kiyomitsu's originally insignificant slash.

"Not bad, very good!"

Uesugi Tetsu even touched the cold blade with his fingers, but found that the effect of the Sorrow of Separation had no effect on him at all.

It's a pity for the solid wood floor in the Amitabha Hall. In a short period of time, it was corroded and had many big holes. It will definitely need to be rebuilt later.

After testing the effect of Kaga Kiyomitsu, Uesugi Tetsu walked towards the official female figure that had turned bald with satisfaction, cut off its hands with two strokes, and lifted it up.

Uesugi Tetsu stared into the pair of dark eyes that were constantly overflowing with blood and tears, listening to the tragic howling beside his ear. After seeing her luxurious kimono, he said, "Do you have any last words? I can help you bring them to you."

The official woman's wailing stopped.

It suddenly regained its still state, staring at Uesugi Che with its pale face covered in blood and tears, which was extremely creepy.

Suddenly, a malicious look flashed from the official woman's eyes, and she spoke word by word,
"Her Royal Highness will definitely find you... and then torture you to death to avenge me—"

Before he could finish his words, the doll's head, made of expensive materials, and its entire body were crushed by Uesugi Tetsu.

"Why don't people say something more useful during their precious last words?"

Uesugi Tetsu sighed regretfully.

It was only after seeing the exquisitely crafted kimono on the official female figure that he decided to give her a chance to express her final wish.

Because Uesugi Tetsu finally remembered why he felt that this female official figure looked very familiar.

——Official female figure, which is a type of Girls' Festival doll (Hina doll).

It is usually given by parents to their young daughters to be displayed on the Daughters' Day on March 3rd every year, praying that their daughters will grow up smoothly, healthily and happily in the future.

The price of a female official statue like the one just now must be very high. When purchased, it must carry the parents' good wishes for their daughter.

It was only after thinking about this that Uesugi Che decided to show leniency.

——Although I don’t know why the official woman’s human form has become full of resentment, it would be great if I could use this little bit of time to exchange for a blessing from the past, or the understanding of a wish.

But he didn't expect that the other party would not appreciate it, but instead bit him back and cursed him to be tortured to death by another cursed humanoid.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink."

Uesugi Che snorted and had already decided in his heart that he would catch the "Princess" mentioned by the official female figure later.

People are saying they want to kill him and torture him, so if he doesn't eliminate the root of the problem, doesn't that mean he has a brain problem due to illness?
What's more, even the hints indicate that the official's female form and the princess's human form are at least one and the same, and you won't be able to obtain soul ashes unless you kill them all.

[You killed a one-and-a-half-star demon official female form and gained 0 soul ash! ]

[You used Kaga Kiyomitsu's Farewell Blade to kill the official female figure. Kaga Kiyomitsu's quality has been slightly improved! ]

[Your skill, Coronal Breathing proficiency +30! ]

[Your skill, Natural Rational Flow proficiency +10! ]

[Your skill, Five Thunder Method: Qi Combination Proficiency +45!]

As he walked out of the messy Amida Hall, Uesugi Tetsu immediately saw six or seven elders of Honganji surrounding him and bowing to him solemnly.

"Thank you, Mr. Uesugi, for your help."

"Masters, please stand up. There's no need to do this... I just came here for something and saw something so I could help out."

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head: "If this demon is too strong, I will just turn around and leave to avoid losing my life."

Several elders of Honganji looked at each other and smiled. Master Kukai, whose injuries had stabilized, stepped forward, clasped his hands together and said,

"Donor Uesugi is truly a sincere person."

"Master, thank you for your praise."

Uesugi Tetsu looked up and saw dozens of young monks and novices scattered in the square. He already understood why the strength of the "masters" in this Honganji was not very ideal.

——Because the total population of Tsuzuki Ward in Yokohama City is only around 200,000, less than one-tenth of Arakawa Ward, the pace of life is not that hectic, people do not have much resentment, and supernatural phenomena should not be too common on weekdays.

With several elders like Master Kukai working together, they can basically deal with the demons and monsters of one star and below. Normally, this is enough. After all, there is more than one Honganji in the Tsuzuki District.

The appearance of a one-and-a-half-star female official figure this time should be something that will only appear after the wave.

Having said that, Honganji, as one of the largest Buddhist organizations in the country, had not yet completed intelligence updates and personnel deployment a week after the wave had passed, which was indeed inefficient.

You should know that originally, each district special affairs office outside Tokyo was managed by a three-star Yin-Yang master, plus three to five two-and-a-half-star Yin-Yang juniors.

But after the wave came, it quickly became a situation of three and a half stars + three stars + two and a half stars. At the same time, some new people were promoted or recruited to fill the vacancies.

On the other hand, Honganji Temple...

It’s no wonder that Huijue, who is trying hard to adapt to the new era, can’t get along with those pedantic and outdated old guys.

During the short time when Uesugi Tetsu was sighing, Master Kūkai and several other seriously injured elders had been taken away by the young monks who had rushed over to rest or were sent directly to the hospital.

Another old wizard who also looked to be in his fifties or sixties came forward and smiled at Uesugi Tetsu.

"Donor Uesugi, I heard from Huiming and the others that your goal has not yet been accomplished. From now on, I will take you there."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded and followed the old wizard: "Thank you."

After taking only two steps, Uesugi Tetsu asked, "Master, that official female figure threatened me before she died. Do you know where it came from?"

"threaten……"

The old wizard's brows knitted together, and he gave an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry to have involved Donor Uesugi... This official female figure was sent to me yesterday by a girl named 'Yezi' who wanted to exorcise evil spirits."

"We've encountered many similar incidents before and they were easily resolved, so we agreed immediately. However, we didn't expect that after the wave arrived, a small puppet would pose such a threat..."

The old wizard sighed.

"Master, don't worry." Uesugi Tetsu said calmly, "Since this demon has threatened me with words, it's not a bad idea for me to trace back to the past."

"in this way……"

The old monk wanted to give him some advice, but after seeing Uesugi Tetsu's unwavering expression, he nodded and said, "Then let Huiming lead the way for you, sir."

"Thank you."

After a while, the two of them arrived at the door of the miniature version of the Imperial Shadow Hall.

The Goei-do Hall in front of us is much smaller than the one in Higashi Honganji Temple, and the difference can be seen in the level of detail of some of the exteriors.

But I think that's why Ershiku-sama was able to maintain his posture and approach this place.

If it were the genuine Imperial Shadow Hall, if Erchi-sama walked so close, he would probably be evaporated to pieces by the Buddha's light.

Uesugi Tetsu took the hand of Nishaku-sama, who had been silent since before, and walked up the stairs with her.

The old wizard slowly pushed open the two wooden doors that were perhaps not even as old as he was, and made a "please" gesture to Uesugi Tetsu and Nishaku-sama.

"I heard that Donor Uesugi came here to promote his shikigami, so I think it would be best to place the tablet here first."

The old monk walked around the front where the tall bronze statue of Buddha was located and came to a secluded side room. He pointed to the empty seat in the corner and said with a smile.

"Master, please answer."

Since it concerns the promotion of his own Shikigami, Uesugi Tetsu naturally did not casually express the opinions of outsiders, but instead humbly sought advice.

The old monk explained: "Although every temple and shrine receives incense and prayers from pilgrims, at the same time, no two temples and shrines receive exactly the same amount of incense and prayers."

"Some temples have many pilgrims praying for wealth, others praying for children, and some seek safety, good luck, or other pilgrims with other concerns... and so on."

The old master looked at the timid Nishaku-sama and gave her a kind smile. "This is the first time that Donor Uesugi's Shikigami has absorbed the power of incense and vows. We don't know if there will be any problems yet, so it's best to try some trial contact."

"If it's not good, we can remove the tablet and move it to another location. If it's not bad, in this day and age, we can just call and move it to another location."

The old master pointed to the empty seat in the center of the side hall and said, "There's nothing wrong with this location."

I didn’t expect that there are so many different ways in the divinely bestowed Tao.

Although Nanjo-san said it was okay before, the physical conditions of different Shikigami cannot be generalized, so Uesugi Tetsu still thought it would be better to be safe.

"Then let's do as the master says."

Uesugi Tetsu pretended to take out the [Standard Tablet of the Special Affairs Office] from his pocket, but actually took it out from his storage backpack and handed it to the old wizard.

[Special Affairs Office Standard Tablet] [Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Simply serves as a transfer station and receiver for the incense and wishes of the "divinely bestowed" shikigami.]

【——Sturdy and durable, easy to use. Made by the Special Affairs Office, you deserve it.】

The tablet is made of wood, the texture is a bit rough, and it even feels a little scratchy to the touch.

But it is true that it is very sturdy. When Uesugi Tetsu first got it, he broke more than a dozen bricks and it didn't break at all.

The old monk took the tablet and placed it in the corner of the tablets, then silently performed a few Buddhist incantations.

After about a minute or two, the trembling Erchi Lord stopped shaking and looked up in surprise: "Master Che, it seems that the people around me are no longer rejecting me."

This should be normal.

Uesugi Che looked at the girl whose head was beginning to glow with faint Buddha light and felt like laughing.

Erchiku-sama showed a satisfied expression and chuckled, "I feel a warm sensation all over my body. It's very comfortable."

The old master heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that everything was normal and even more comfortable for Erchisama.

The next moment, a prompt popped up in front of Uesugi Tetsu's eyes——

[Shikigami Yashakuoname's rank is being promoted: 0% (estimated to take half a year to complete)]

Uesugi Tetsu thought for a moment and said, "Master, could you please move the tablet to the center every three days? If there's any problem, I'll call you or come in person."

The old wizard nodded: "Of course there is no problem."

boom--!
At this moment, the wooden door of the side hall of the Imperial Shadow Hall was knocked open.

Hearing the sound of hurried breathing, Uesugi Tetsu turned around and saw the sweaty young monk Huiming. He heard him say,
"Abbot! This is bad!" Huiming said anxiously, "Brother Huiyang heard that you hadn't dealt with the puppet sent yesterday, so he went to Donor Yezi's residence alone to resolve the matter!"

The old master's expression changed, and he quickly asked, "When did Huiyang go there?"

Huiming turned around and pulled out another little monk who was leaning against the door.

When the young novice saw the abbot's furious expression, he immediately lowered his head and threw the secret to the wind. He said tremblingly, "More than half an hour ago. Calculating the time, Senior Brother Huiyang should have arrived."

The old wizard sighed heavily: "This child!"

"Huiming, call Xuanji and the others and go with me to that place." The old master narrowed his eyes. "We have to rescue that stupid kid Huiyang quickly."

"Abbott."

Uesugi Tetsu suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of the three people present.

He tapped Kaga Kiyomitsu's hilt lightly: "How about I go ahead? It just so happens that I just had an vendetta against that demon, so I can exorcise it myself and feel at ease."

The old mage opened his mouth, then bowed deeply to Uesugi Che: "Then... I'll trouble you, benefactor Uesugi."

"It doesn't matter."

Uesugi Tetsu looked at the young monk Huiming with a smile and winked at him: "Young Master Huiming, can you lead the way?"

The young monk remembered Uesugi Tetsu's amazing performance just now and nodded seriously.

"Perhaps, we shouldn't have named this child 'Hui'..."

The old wizard sighed softly.

……

In the silver-white Mazda, Uesugi Tetsu looked at the young monk Huiming, who was holding the steering wheel with both hands, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Young Master, can you drive?"

"That's all Senior Brother Huijue taught me." Huiming grinned. "Donor Shangshan, please sit down. We're in a hurry!"

Uesugi Tetsu, who had finally fastened his seatbelt, asked, "What is the relationship between Huijue and you?"

"Ok?"

Huiming had a puzzled look on his face. "Big Brother is Big Brother, right? If I had to say, it's probably because we've all been together in the temple since we were little, so we have a very good relationship."

Uesugi Che was stunned.

Huijue has actually been staying in this small temple where the abbot seems to be only one star since he was a child... Then how did he reach his current level?

Before Uesugi Che could figure out the problem, the Mazda did a drift and stopped in front of an apartment building.

"Donor Uesugi, this is it..."

Huiming pulled up the handbrake, prepared to turn off the engine and pull out the car key.

However, Uesugi Tetsu had already noticed a panicked girl running out from the other side of the road, and behind her, a curse full of resentment was rushing towards her quickly.

——That should be Yezi who is related to the dolls!

We can't let her die here first.

Uesugi Tetsu rushed out of the car without hesitation, opened his folding fan, and used a dazzling bolt of lightning to shatter the curse that was following the girl.

The girl, frightened by the thunder, was about to fall forward.

Before that, Uesugi Tetsu picked her up and asked, "Where are the monk and the doll?"

The girl raised a trembling finger and pointed to the room with closed windows and drawn curtains: "Still in the room... in the room."

Still in the room.

Uesugi Che became alert in his heart - he didn't feel any obvious resentment or spiritual fluctuations there just now.

Seeing Huiming running over, Shangshan Che said to him: "Young Master, you stay here to take care of her, I will go up!"

After saying that, Uesugi Che stirred up a hurricane with electric sparks and disappeared in front of the two.

In the corridor, Uesugi Tetsu first transformed into a four-tailed fox after confirming that there was no one around, and shook the Komainu bell that had not been used for a long time.

Jingle bell bell~
A faint ringing sound was heard.

Immediately, a Komainu with a sturdy body, long and powerful limbs, a dignified face and covered in full armor quietly landed on the stairs and rubbed against Shangshan Che's trouser leg.

Uesugi Tetsu looked down.

——[Komainu Team Leader (Two Stars)]

The Komainu, who had already reached the second star, looked warily at the half-open door above and barked twice as if to remind Uesugi Tetsu.

Although his luck was bad this time as he only summoned one Komainu, the good news is that the Komainu's rank has reached two stars, surpassing Nishaku-sama in combat power.

However, the Komainu Bell is at best a rare piece of equipment, and it is unknown what the upper limit of the Komainu level that can be obtained is.

"go."

The remote-controlled Komainu rushed into the room first. After giving it the "save people" command, Uesugi Che held his breath, jumped out of the window in the corridor, and climbed outside the closed window.

All signs indicate that this princess humanoid should not be weak, so Uesugi Tetsu naturally strives to resolve the battle more easily.

——Letting the powerful Komainu attract attention, and then waiting for an opportunity to backstab him from an unexpected position is a good plan.

"Wang!"

Within seconds, the Komainu's roar was heard.

Then, another weak voice sounded: "Komakuni, whose Shikigami are you... Never mind, thank you very much anyway, wow——"

The Komainu whimpered, seemingly hurt.

——It seems that we can’t wait any longer.

Whatever.

Kaga Kiyomitsu unsheathed his sword and chopped the plastic, glass and curtains in front of him into a pile of grayish-white debris.

Uesugi Tetsu raised his eyes and immediately found the "princess figure" standing in the air, wearing an elegant and luxurious kimono, in the messy living room.

——[Princess Doll (Two Stars)]

At the same time, an extremely deep resentment came over him, lifting up Uesugi Che's hair and causing a rare ripple on the calm surface of his heart.

"No wonder Komainu can't do anything to you."

Uesugi Tetsu instantly determined that this princess humanoid was one of the best even among the two-star ones, because she gave him the feeling that she was not far from the original two-and-a-half-star Nue.

But unfortunately, he is no longer the same as before!

When the princess's human form sensed the movement behind her, her huge pale head immediately turned 180 degrees, staring at Uesugi Che with her two pure black eyes.

It screamed,

"Enemy! Kill you!"

buzzing.

A strange wave swept towards Shangsugi Che, as if trying to arouse the fear and resentment in the deepest part of his heart.

"A mental attack?"

Uesugi Tetsu's movements were unimpeded.

The pale area suddenly extended, causing a hint of human fear to appear on the princess's delicate human face.

Boom boom——!
An exaggerated explosion sounded, and before the princess doll could respond, Kaga Kiyomitsu had already pierced its chest.

"hiss--!"

The princess figure shook her head frantically and let out strange screams, causing Huiyang, who was already dying in the corner, to look extremely painful.

Seeing this, the Komainu immediately bit the back of his collar and dragged him out.
Isn't the heart a weakness?

After Uesugi Tetsu hit the target, he quickly retreated several meters away and observed the gray-white princess figure emerging from her body.

“Shhhhhhhh!”

Substantial sound waves once again emanated from the princess doll's mouth, slightly affecting Uesugi Tetsu's thoughts.

But that's all.

Having mastered the two techniques of Zanshin and Lilizi, Uesugi Tetsu is almost immune to mental and illusion attacks.

What would plunge others into extreme chaos and madness is nothing more than a breeze to him.

“I’m lucky.”

Uesugi Tetsu grinned, and the fiery aura of the corona flowed out from his fingertips. "Since you have no weaknesses, then I will chop you into pieces."

The princess figure covered her empty heart and opened her mouth with difficulty: "Kill you!"

"Then come."

The words fell at the same time as Kaga Kiyomitsu's voice, easily cutting through wave after wave of mental interference, and also cutting off the princess's hands that were hurriedly raised to resist.

But what Uesugi Che did not expect was that the two arms that should have been chopped off actually turned into two black slimes in mid-air, rushing towards him at a close distance with an extremely strong curse breath!

Uesugi Che was neither alarmed nor panicked. The more critical the moment, the calmer he would become.

He flipped Kaga Kiyomitsu over with great speed and collided with him with the hilt of the knife, which was covered with pale velvet.

At the same time, the green light of basic Yin-Yang magic lit up at the fingertips of Uesugi Che's left hand.

呲呲呲.

The two streams of cursed mucus were dyed half black and half white, and then slowed down, with most of them falling on the wooden floor that Uesugi Che had just pulled up with Yin-Yang magic to block his side.

boom!
The wooden floor, which was almost completely corroded, shattered and hit the wall. Kaga Kiyomitsu used the force to turn around suddenly!

Natural Rishin-ryu Tiger Tail Sword!

The pale blade light drew a perfect arc, splitting the princess' figure with a resentful look into two.

The grayish-white color on the princess's humanoid body quickly spread from the broken part to the entire body. It trembled and screamed with resentment.
"Human, I curse you... I curse you!!!"

Another flash of knife light passed by, ending its words and curses.

Wow.

Kaga Kiyomitsu is sheathed.

Uesugi Tetsu looked down at the princess figure with only half of its head intact, and crushed it with one foot without hesitation.

He raised his eyebrows, and then stamped twice with his toes, and asked the gray and white debris on the ground,
"Can you still speak?"

The room was silent, no response.

Uesugi Che whistled, lifted the clothes on his left arm, stared at the two or three dark burn marks on his skin for a while, and poured a drop of awakening mist into his mouth.

The wound immediately began to heat up and itch, and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Uesugi Tetsu lowered his arm and looked at the prompt that popped up on the side——

[You killed the two-star demon princess humanoid and obtained 377 soul ash!]

[You used Kaga Kiyomitsu's Blade of Farewell to kill the princess doll. Kaga Kiyomitsu's quality has been moderately improved!]

[Your Kaga Kiyomitsu: Farewell Blade is about to reach the critical point of promotion! ]

[Your skill, Coronal Breathing proficiency +80! ]

[Your skill, Natural Rational Flow proficiency +92! ]

[Your skill, Five Thunder Method: Qi Combination Proficiency +60!]

[You have obtained the Hina Humanoid Curse.]

Huh? There really is a curse?
Uesugi Tetsu sighed and took out the "Hina Form Curse" in the shape of a black teardrop.

【Hina Doll Curse】

[Quality: Rare]

[Effect 1: Can be used on any "Hina Doll", causing it to gain a life filled with resentment.]

[Effect 2: Before use, the Hina Doll Curse will bind to the carrier, bringing them continued bad luck.]

[——In the endless darkness, the forgotten dolls began to harbor resentment.]

This thing... is really a bit troublesome.

Uesugi Che frowned slightly.

But then, another prompt popped up.

[The item "Hina Humanoid Curse" has been detected to be highly compatible with the demonic incarnation, White Prajna. Should it be consumed to accelerate the promotion time?]

Speed up Bai Prajna's promotion time?
Uesugi Che was stunned at first, surprised that items could have hidden attributes.

And then, he showed his joy without concealing it.

This curse is great, please give me a dozen more like it!
