Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Yuko Ogino took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and saw her daughter curled up in the corner of the bed.

Overwhelmed with heartache and self-reproach, Yuko Ogino hugged Chihiro tightly before she could speak.

"sorry."

"Chihiro, I'm sorry."

Yuko Ogino kept apologizing, which left Chihiro at a loss.

She was clearly in the wrong, so why should her mother apologize?

Chihiro!

Suddenly, Yuko Ogino looked up and, for the first time in over ten years, looked directly into her daughter's eyes.

What pure and beautiful eyes they are.

For a full ten years, I had never truly looked at her.

"Let's go see your brother."

“Go back to the countryside,” Yuko Ogino’s words were like a ray of light, opening Chihiro’s tormented heart: “to say goodbye to him!”

Chapter 126 The Second Spirit Master

"There will be a major sea storm in Hokkaido in a couple of days."

Yu Yao told Gu Yun the information he had gathered: "I heard this from a wind god, so it should be reliable."

"Ah."

Gu Yun said that even if it's unreliable, it's still better than the weather forecast.

"In that case, the Great Tengu is almost in position."

The awakening of the Great Tengu requires a sufficiently large sea storm.

This shouldn't be difficult, but finding it nearby is a bit of a hassle.

Gu Yun had made preparations for a trip abroad, but unexpectedly Yu Yao brought good news: he had found a suitable area to summon the Great Tengu.

As for the other shikigami, Menreiki is ready, but Gu Yun hasn't yet chosen a location to awaken her.

SSR characters with SP status usually have considerable potential.

Find a suitable way, at the very least we can achieve the same result as the "Erotic Flower and Bird Scroll" – a normal level of 65 and an SP level of 70.

This is the spirit of the ecosystem, a powerful being comparable to ghosts and gods.

Among the combat power levels that Gu Yun currently knows, the highest is the Upper Que of the Twelve Heavens.

The Upper Section has six members, each possessing unfathomable power.

In Yuzhanjin's words, they are not people that Gu Yun can easily provoke now. He will have to wait until he comes of age before he will have a chance to compete with them.

Gu Yun didn't pay much attention to this.

He is not some evil or heretical sect, and the Twelve Heavenly Palaces are also in the good and lawful camp, so there is no conflict between them.

As for the idea that there are always people better than you, and that there are always higher levels to reach, Gu Yun is equally accepting of that.

Moreover, he is still in his youth and has a long way to go before reaching his peak.

So when Gu Yun heard that someone was stronger than him, he was actually quite happy.

Otherwise, if you really become One-Punch Man and don't even have an opponent you can fight to your heart's content, that would be too boring.

The first six lines are missing, and the second six lines are missing.

The world's will, like that of Miketsuhime, can be essentially equated to the twelve heavens of the lower tier.

Uesugi-nee is very strong; she might even be stronger than Miketsu in a fight.

However, in their clash, Uesugi could at most defeat Miketsu, but could not kill her.

This is not based on any purifying will.

Even if Miketsu is not the Purifying Will, in terms of pure raw strength, she is not much weaker than Uesugi-neechan; they could be considered evenly matched.

The four levels of the supernatural world.

The first stanza stands alone in its own right.

The World Will, the Incarnation of Nature, and the Spirit of Ecology are in the second tier.

The three types—the Great Demon who comprehends the Heavenly Lament and Earthly Cry, the Special Grade who masters all things in the universe, and the Superior Grade who is proficient in subduing all demons—belong to the third tier.

The intermediate level of awakening abilities and the lower level of tempering the body are the fourth tier.

Just like ecological niches, only those in the same category are qualified to compete.

Being in a higher ecological niche is a devastating blow to those below, and cannot be shaken by mere effort or desperate struggle.

"Next..."

Gu Yun looked at the blue egg inside his spirit core.

This is a spirit awakened by Gu Yun when he came into contact with You's master, Yaobikuni, during the purification of the world. It merged with the 'Yaobikuni' in the game and became a special existence like Xiaobai.

"Seven days have passed; it's time to wake her up."

Spirits don't need to absorb anything, so it doesn't matter where they are awakened.

Gu Yun's spirits have four slots, and they can directly draw power from Gu Yun to break through the upper limit of their spirit level.

In a sense, the four guardian spirits are more like a direct manifestation of Gu Yun's power.

Just like Xiaobai now.

His original spirit level was only 70 at most, but after becoming Gu Yun's spirit master, with the support of his master, he could even fight against Miketsu.

Defeat is certain, but Bai Zangzhu is absolutely confident in protecting Gu Yun's evacuation.

As Gu Yun grows stronger, Xiao Bai will also become stronger, and it is not impossible for him to surpass the lower section and rival the upper section in the future.

Therefore, the Spirit Guardian is a special shikigami with high potential.

To put it metaphorically, they were Gu Yun's personal bodyguards, the last line of defense protecting Gu Yun.

"So…"

Gu Yun summoned the blue bird egg in the courtyard.

He held it in his arms, then slowly raised it high, and whispered, "In my name, I grant you life and soul, awaken, Yaobikuni!"

"Crack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, cracks spread across the bird's egg, followed by a burst of azure light and azure flames that shot into the sky.

"Boom~~"

The blue flames dyed the entire sky with color, and the shikigami in the courtyard all raised their heads.

"What a terrifying power."

The weaker ones, enveloped in the azure flames, witnessed a scene resembling a city engulfed in flames, experiencing a sense of apocalypse and utter terror and panic, as if all living beings had nowhere to hide.

"Chirp!"

The next moment, everyone heard a clear and melodious bird song coming from above.

The endless flames began to shrink, transforming into a huge, storm-like cocoon of fire. As the blue giant bird spread its wings, all the flames quickly condensed, eventually forming a celestial feather robe that wrapped around her wings.

"so beautiful…"

The shikigami all marveled at the beauty of the blue peacock, which was the most beautiful and sacred creature Gu Yun had ever seen.

"Isn't that a peacock?"

Miketsu thought for a moment and said, "It seems that we should call her Bluebird."

The Bluebird is a legendary divine bird. Some say it is a type of phoenix, but the two are not absolutely related; they are more like equally noble creatures.

Just like Zhulong, Yinglong, and Qinglong, these three represent the ancient people's imagination of the appearance of the dragon in different periods.

"The Bluebird?"

"It's just a name."

A bird burning with azure flames circled in the air and finally landed beside Gu Yun, transforming into a beautiful woman in blue holding a divination staff. She walked up to Gu Yun and bowed, saying, "Anyone will do, as long as my lord likes it."

"Eight hundred, nuns."

Gu Yun looked at the tall, mature woman in front of him. Her appearance was very similar to that in the game, but she was obviously even more beautiful in person.

He could feel the connection between himself and the nun, an intimacy and dependence that far exceeded blood ties and even surpassed the soul, just like the White Lord, both being companion spirits of Gu Yun.

"Please guide me for the rest of my life, my little master."

The nun possesses an ethereal and otherworldly aura, like a wise woman who has seen through the vicissitudes of life. She inherited the knowledge and experience of the Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis from the game and is the protector and guide of Gu Yun's soul.

"Yes, welcome."

Gu Yun inquired about the nun's habits.

Yu Ling and Gu Yun are inseparable; unlike other shikigami, they don't wander off.

Of course, Xiaobai and the nun can also leave Guyun and go to farther places.

But they won't do that.

The spirits are wholeheartedly devoted to protecting their master, so how could the two of them abandon Gu Yun and run around aimlessly?

"Ha~ha~ha~"

Little White sticks out its tongue and steps forward, then runs around the nun: "Nun, nun, would you like to enter the master's shadow too?"

"Is the White Lord in the shadow of the young master?"

The nun bent down and picked up Xiaobai. Both of them were spirits, so their relationship was extremely close, and they could clearly sense each other's emotions.

"right."

Xiaobai doesn't like human form; he prefers the fox form.

The big fox is very fluffy, and Gu Yun loves to pet him. As for the little fox, Gu Yun often plays with him as well.
