Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Kayako's sudden attack caught Gu Yun off guard.

This also made him realize the enormous gap between him and a true intermediate-level cultivator if he didn't have shikigami.

"Filthy woman!"

"Who gave you permission to touch my master?!"

Three fiery red fox tails enveloped Gu Yun, and crimson flames bloomed like flowers. The immense power swept Kayako away as she lunged at him.

"Hooho."

Little White jumped onto Gu Yun's shoulder.

It was still small, but it bared its fangs and let out a low growl like a dog.

"Little White, protect your master."

"Leave it to me, Three-Tailed Fox Boss."

Xiao Bai's personality is that of a younger brother. Even though he is stronger than the Three-Tailed Fox, he still readily acknowledges her as his older sister.

"Ah."

The three-tailed fox nodded, then focused all its attention on Kayako.

Unlike the earthbound spirits she had previously exorcised, Kayako possessed a strong resentment.

“Ah, ah.”

Kayako lay prone on the ground, her head turned 90 degrees, and with that eerie cry, it sent chills down the spines of anyone who saw it.

"Humph."

However, the three-tailed fox showed no fear. Her demonic power burned fiercely, and the originally crimson flames began to turn pale white.

"Hey~~"

Amidst the fox's cry, the hair and fur of the three-tailed fox, entwined with white flames, changed from red to pure white, leaving only a touch of bright red at the tips of its tail and ears.

【Three-Tailed Fox - Awakening】

Rank: High-level demon

Talents: Charm, Transformation, Fire Manipulation, Heart Stealing

Time limit: 5 minutes

Awakening Skill: Soul Devourer

"His demonic power has increased so much? He's already a high-level demon, isn't he?"

Grandpa looked at the three-tailed fox with a solemn expression.

Even a powerful exorcist like him has to take the current three-tailed fox seriously.

But now, such a powerful demon is actually obeying a child's orders and fighting for him.

'Unbelievable!'

Grandpa was still reminiscing when the three-tailed fox over there collided with Kayako.

"Boom!"

After awakening, the three-tailed fox experienced a significant increase in both speed and strength.

Sharp fox claws, and three fox tails that are more agile than its arms.

In addition, there are scorching white flames that burn the soul.

Grandpa said that ghosts can't be killed, but that's all they can do.

Warlocks can torment ghosts, destroy their minds, inflict extreme suffering on them, and leave them only as empty shells in the end.

This is why, although the laws of the underworld protect the soul from harm, ghosts still retreat when faced with powerful sorcerers.

Some might think that doing this would damage their soul, causing them to be reborn as an idiot in their next life.

Actually it is not.

Before each soul is reincarnated, it must drink a bowl of Meng Po soup to forget its memories and erase its personality.

Therefore, whether one's consciousness and self are complete or not does not affect the next life.

What can truly affect the next life is a curse.

The erosion of the curse will cause the wronged soul to bear a huge karmic burden in the next life, resulting in physical deformities and a tragic fate.

"what!!!"

Scorched by the flames of the three-tailed fox, Kayako let out a painful howl.

Her resentment was fading, and her memories, personality, and even her ability to think were shattered in the flames.

At the same time, the dark curse, like blood vessels, seeps deeper into Kayako's soul, weighing on it like a debt.

Whether it's what she owes others or what others owe her, it will all be repaid sooner or later.

"Disgusting creature, don't come near my master again!"

Amidst Kayako's agonizing screams, the three-tailed fox ripped her head from her spirit body and crushed it to pieces.

Only a sliver of dark red candlelight remained, drifting towards the sky and eventually disappearing.

That was Kayako's last spirit, burdened with sins after losing everything in this life, heading towards the underworld.

The dim sky gradually brightened, and warm sunlight shone down once again.

"Okay, that's great."

Mr. Takanashi swallowed hard, staring in amazement at the three-tailed fox, the image of her torturing and killing the evil spirit Kayako still echoing in his mind.

"Master, the evil spirit has been defeated."

The three-tailed fox returned to its original form and stood gracefully before Gu Yun.

"Well, thank you."

Gu Yun said gratefully, "Thanks to you, Sister Fox, otherwise I would have been in danger."

"I'm so happy to have been praised by my master!"

The three-tailed fox disappeared from everyone's sight and returned to Gu Yun's alternate dimension.

"Was that... a release of demonic power?"

Grandpa pondered, "After liberation, it almost reached the level of a superior demon. It's really amazing."

Although it is unknown why the three-tailed fox signed a contract with Gu Yun.

The grandfather was quite happy to think that his grandson was being protected by such a powerful demon.

【Kirō Momiji】

Summoning Requirements: Purify Kayako's Curse (Incomplete)

【Zashiki Warashi】

Summoning Requirements: Contact with 10 Earthbound Spirits

Completed: 5/10

"Both tasks are incomplete," Gu Yun sensed his surroundings, "which means the curse of the haunted house is still there."

He asked his grandfather this question, and the experienced grandfather quickly determined the situation of Kayako and the haunted house.

"medium."

Grandpa said, "Only by finding a medium can this place be truly purified."

Curses don't arise from nothing; they must reside in something.

“It could be a person, or it could be an object,” Grandpa said. “Without purifying the medium, the curse cannot be completely dispelled.”

Even if they cast purification spells here.

But years later, ten years later, the curse will still resurface.

Curses and eerie tales are definitely among the things warlocks least want to encounter.

Putting aside the question of strength or weakness, the trouble is genuinely troublesome.

A curse can only be eliminated by finding the cause of the curse, but as long as people continue to spread the curse, it will always be a temporary fix.

"Let's search separately."

So, Gu Yun, along with Xiao Bai and the three-tailed fox, set off to search for the second floor.

Grandpa, together with Mr. Takanashi, inspected the first floor.

【Zashiki Warashi】

Summoning Requirements: Contact with 10 Earthbound Spirits (Completed)

Summoning method: When no one is around, say to the house, "Let's play together, Zashiki-warashi."

After eliminating several more Jibakushi (earthbound spirits) that were entrenched on the second floor, the summoning quest for Zashiki-warashi was completely completed.

These are people who entered the haunted house and were killed by Kayako.

If it weren't for the Iijima family, Mr. and Mrs. Takanashi would probably have become one of these earthbound spirits as well.

"Ok?"

As they were walking, Gu Yun spotted something.

It was under the bed, and thick black gas was gushing out from underneath.

"I'll look for it!"

Xiao Bai immediately jumped out of Gu Yun's arms and found a tattered diary under the bed.

Is this what it is?

"Master, let me come."

How could the Three-Tailed Fox allow Gu Yun to touch something so filthy? She immediately picked it up and began to examine it.

Upon obtaining the diary, a surge of resentment rushed into the three-tailed fox's body, attempting to devour it.
