Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

The Earth Spider itself has no self-awareness, and its power is extremely violent, making it a calamity-level monster.

In terms of strength, Tsuchigumo has the potential to become a great yokai.

However, due to Akatsuki's limited abilities, he can only use a portion of his power now, barely enough to keep up with a Special-Rank Yokai who cannot break through his domain.

Although they are somewhat weak, Gu Yun never looks down on his own shikigami because of their low strength.

In his eyes, each shikigami has its own unique characteristics and style.

Finding a suitable direction for them is also his responsibility as their master.

"it is good."

As Gu Yun spoke, he stuck a talisman on the mask and then tossed it aside.

"Wow~"

In mid-air, the mask changed in a flash, transforming into a colossal creature.

"Boom!"

With its feet on the ground, numerous eyes opened on its body, constantly turning as if surveying this entirely new world.

"A new masked demon?"

Xiao knelt on one knee behind Gu Yun. He raised his head and looked at the huge and strange masked demon in front of him, and said from the bottom of his heart, "Such demonic power is top-notch even among intermediate-level demons, right?"

"As expected of Lord Gu Yun, he can create this level of face demon with ease."

"Stop bragging, Xiao."

"let's go."

Gu Yun's task for Xiao was to test the quality of this face demon.

Demonic power is just demonic power; the lower level strengthens the body, and the middle level awakens abilities.

The latter, in particular.

Gu Yun wanted to find out what abilities this masked demon possessed through battle.

"Hi!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a fierce battle erupted instantly.

"boom!"

A deathly aura of darkness accompanied the vibrant blooming of red spider lilies in the courtyard.

The other shore flower appeared behind Gu Yun. She fiddled with her fair fingers and in an instant set up a protective barrier that could trap even top-level demons, while also completely isolating the area from any movement.

"Boom!"

A minute later, Gu Yun, who was leisurely twirling a calligraphy brush, looked ahead.

In the courtyard, a red-haired boy stood atop a giant masked demon, waving at him.

"It only lasted for one minute."

"The ability is to atomize and manipulate water vapor."

"Is it a water-based demon?"

"Just give it a try."

The pen in Gu Yun's hand was taken from Yu Yao's treasury.

She said it was a deal she made many years ago with an evil human sorcerer.

After the deed was done, the other party paid the fee, the effect of which was to create a monster called a 'masked demon' at will.

"Roar!!"

Inside the courtyard, the masked demon struggled incessantly, but it was unable to get up from Xiao's feet.

In their anger, countless eyes began to search left and right, finally landing on Gu Yun, who was sitting on the suspended corridor.

"Ah~~ Ah ah~~"

The demon froze for a moment, then bent down and knelt before the boy, uttering strange cries that were difficult to decipher.

"Success?!"

Hongye suddenly spoke up, but Gu Yun denied it: "No, it failed. This guy has no mind."

"If it succeeds, I won't let Xiao make a move."

Several years ago, after obtaining the artifact called 'Yomi no Koto no Ha' (Yomi no Koto no Ha), Gu Yun developed a certain interest in creating yokai.

Using his spiritual vision technique, Gu Yun extracted the essence of the 'Words of the Underworld' and, with the assistance of Yu Yao and Kong Huan, completed a brand new forbidden technique.

Gu Yun called it the 'root of evil'.

Through talismans and various mediums, Gu Yun can use spells to inject the demonic and divine power extracted from the shikigami into them.

Thus, they created something filthy and unacceptable to the world, named the Face Demon.

"Master, what should we do with it?"

Hongye asked, "Should I just kill it?"

Even garbage should be used to its fullest potential.

Gu Yun showed no pity for such a mindless creature.

Conversely, Gu Yun would keep it and make it one of his shikigami.

After all, it was Gu Yun who created it, so he has to take responsibility.

"Leave it to Yuyao, let her handle it for me."

Gu Yun didn't take the failed masked demon in front of him seriously: "We don't have enough materials to make a real top-grade masked demon. We need to use this guy to exchange for some from the reclusive world."

What Gu Yun wants to create is a truly exceptional demon.

This is also the scroll quest that Gu Yun activated four years ago after first using the Yellow Springs Language to create a face demon.

【Face Renewal】

Awaken the need: Create seven self-aware, top-tier masked demons (6/7)

Awakened: Xiaomian, Fukujin, Chanmaru, Daifeichu, Foxface, Grandma

Unawakened: Ape

“One more is still missing,” Gu Yun muttered to himself. “Even if the technology improves, it’s impossible to create a complete face demon every time.”

"It really depends on looks."

Unlike other shikigami, Menki-rei needs to be created by Gu Yun bit by bit, by his own hands.

The six masks here represent different emotions and desires.

They are essentially seven emotions of the same consciousness.

Only by gathering all seven masks can the 'Face Spirit' be truly awakened.

And this child will become the first great yokai created by Gu Yun and revived through the Shikigami Scroll.

"Let's go."

Gu Yun stood up and walked towards the reception room: "I wonder what trouble Xiao Jing is going to cause me this time."

Even so, Gu Yun really cared about Hiratsuka Shizuka, his childhood friend.

"Hu~~"

In Tokyo's most bustling area, a multi-hundred-story building stands.

This is the headquarters of the Iijima Group, and also the stronghold of the most prominent family in Japan in recent years.

"Tread! Tread! Tread!"

In the quiet indoor corridor, a pair of snow-white high heels are reflected in the stone floor of the shopping mall.

The woman looked to be around twenty years old, with short, jet-black hair that reached her ears, giving her an extremely capable appearance.

She is the current head of the Iijima Group and Tamaki Iijima's personal secretary.

Its name is…

"Knock knock."

"If there are no outsiders, there's no need to knock."

A voice came from behind the door: "Tama."

"excuse me."

Yu Yao pushed open the door and placed a document on the desk in front of Iijima Tamaki: "Tamaki, this is this month's financial report."

The next moment, the black-haired office lady vanished in front of Tamaki Iijima, turning into a wisp of wind.

"Thanks a lot."

Iijima Tamaki looked at the silver-haired, fox-eared girl sitting to the side reading a book. She was none other than Tenko Kūgen's twin sister, Tenko Gyō.

"It's just a clone."

Yu Yao is currently Iijima Tamaki's secretary and bodyguard.

24/7, never leaving your side.

As for the so-called black-haired secretary from earlier, she was just a clone.

The real Yuyao has always been hidden beside Iijima Tamaki.

"Actually, you don't have to do this."

“Four years have passed,” Tamaki Iijima said, looking at the report. “Didn’t Gu Yun forgive you a long time ago?”

Yu Yao had his fox tail ruthlessly severed by Gu Yun after attacking Hayasaka Nao and Iijima Tamaki, which removed the source of his spirit tail and almost cut off his chance to cultivate.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she may be destined to be a tailless fox for the rest of her life.

However, as expected, something unexpected happened.

Even Yu Yao herself probably didn't expect that the punishment would become an opportunity for her to take another step forward.
