Why is my anime art style so weird?

"I have successfully summoned the Asura Warrior!"

You're all dead!

Ashiya Dōman burst into laughter.

However, before he could even be happy for two seconds, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly appeared in front of him.

Kasumigaoka Utaha made only two movements: she stabbed her palm into the samurai's body and then tore it outwards with force.

With a tearing sound, the armored warrior was instantly ripped in two.

"Ha! Cough cough!"

Ashiya Dōman, who was laughing wildly, suddenly seemed to freeze in place.

The paper talisman on his chest instantly burned to ashes!

Chapter 401 Traitor!

When Kasumigaoka Utaha's scarlet eyes fell on him, Ashiya Doman let out a strange cry and pulled out a handful of paper talismans from his pocket, scattering them out.

Lightning, water jets, flames, magic circles, smoke... a hundred flowers bloom.

It suddenly blocked Kasumigaoka Utaha's view.

Ashiya Dōman took the opportunity to escape to a distant place.

He took out a silver-white paper talisman and drew a circle on it with his fingertip.

A black dot immediately appeared on the ground in front of him, and then quickly expanded into a hole just big enough for an adult to jump into.

The cave was pitch black, and I had no idea where it led.

Although Xu Ming didn't know what he was doing, judging from his posture, he was probably trying to escape.

This isn't over!

I will be back!

Shouting out the standard villain lines, Ashiya Doman glared at Xu Ming with a venomous look before jumping into the cave.

puff!

Just then, a blade silently pierced his heart from behind.

Ashiya Dōman's movements froze instantly.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and forcefully turned his head.

"Tsukuyomi, you bastard!"

How dare you betray me!?

The one who appeared silently behind Ashiya Dōman was none other than the shrine maiden wearing a fox mask.

The sudden turn of events startled Xu Ming.

He quickly looked in the direction of Erina and Asagami Fujino.

A fox-faced witch with the exact same appearance is fighting them.

suddenly!

With a soft "thump," a ball of silvery-white light emanated from the priestess.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, her body shattered like a mirror.

After the light faded, a white paper figure floated to the ground and then suddenly burst into flames, burning to ashes.

The one who's been fighting Erina and Asagami Fujino all along is actually a paper doll!?

On the other side, the shrine maiden swiftly drew her katana from Ashiya Doman's body, then gracefully spun around, drawing a perfect silver-white crescent arc in the air with the katana.

The blade then severed Ashiya Dōman's neck and his right hand, which was holding the golden cup.

Fresh blood gushed from Ashiya Dōman's wound.

The fox-faced priestess reached out and caught the falling golden cup.

"Ah! My! My Holy Grail of the Stars!"

A horrifying scene unfolded: Ashiya Dōman's head, which had fallen to the ground, was still alive and screaming.

The body, its head severed, had one remaining hand flailing about as if trying to grab something.

The fox-faced shrine maiden, known as 'Tsukuyomi no Mikoto', took out two paper talismans from her bosom and threw them at Ashiya Dōman's head and body.

call!

In an instant, the flames burst into flames as if gasoline had been poured on them.

Ashiya Dōman's head and body turned to ashes amidst a series of piercing screams.

A sudden whooshing sound filled the air, and Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes flashed red as she secretly made her move.

As if she had been prepared, silver mirrors suddenly appeared around her body.

An invisible force struck the mirror, shattering it into silvery-white fragments that scattered sparsely, shimmering with a crystalline light.

Kasumigaoka Utaha transformed into a red shadow and pounced on 'Tsukuyomi no Mikoto'.

With a flick of her wide sleeves, Tsukuyomi's two paper talismans flew out from her cuffs, transforming into two silver-white warriors who faced Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was briefly entangled by the silver-clad samurai.

Just then, without Tsukuyomi making any move, a huge silver mirror suddenly appeared behind her.

'Tsukuyomi' bowed slightly to Xu Ming with a calm expression, then leaned back and fell directly into the mirror.

The mirror surface rippled slightly, like water, before quickly calming down.

Swish!

Five red streaks of blood were drawn across the mirror.

Suddenly, the mirror cracked! It shattered into countless tiny fragments.

"Humph!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha snorted coldly, her expression quite annoyed. She was just a hair's breadth away from catching that hateful woman.

Xu Ming was also somewhat troubled.

He never expected that there would be a traitor in the enemy camp who betrayed the enemy boss and also stole the 'Holy Grail of the Star'.

Although Xu Ming still didn't understand what it was, he could tell from Ashiya Doman's few words that he had been plotting for a hundred years to obtain this so-called 'Holy Grail of the Stars'.

For a great Onmyoji on par with Abe no Seimei to go to such lengths, it's obvious that this thing is no ordinary artifact.

Xu Ming glanced at the two remaining pools of white ash on Ashiya Michiman.

It's true what they say, seeing him is not as good as hearing about him. The infamous 'evil sorcerer' Ashiya Dōman made him feel: That's all? That's all?!

It's really disappointing.

Although it was only the first time he had met Ashiya Dōman.

However, Xu Ming discovered that this guy was very strong, but very narrow-minded.

I really don't know how this guy was hailed as Abe Seimei's worthy opponent.

Could it be that it was just hyped up by someone?

Did ancient times also have naval forces?

With the incident concluded, Xu Ming could only temporarily set aside his doubts.

However, he did not leave immediately, but chose to stay in the Dark Flame Palace for a while.

During the previous great battle, the 'Abyss' was repeatedly opened, releasing a large amount of abyssal flames, and the seal had long been broken and completely lost its function.

If they leave it unattended, and the Abyss Flame suddenly erupts on their way down the mountain, that would be troublesome.

Xu Ming could escape by taking off in the Flying Pig No. 1, but the seriously injured little piglet might not be able to drag three people.

To be on the safe side, Xu Ming decided to observe for a while and leave only after confirming that there was no danger.

The Yukinoshita sisters didn't want to stay here for even a second longer, but since their protectors refused to leave, they had no choice but to stay as well.

Fortunately, after the two sisters reconciled, their relationship warmed up rapidly, like lava in a lake, and they seemed to have endless things to talk about.

In addition, the scenery of the Dark Flame Palace is very unique. After the danger is gone, it reveals a unique charm of desolation and bleakness.

The two sisters sat on the steps, with Yukino resting her head on her older sister's shoulder, both gazing at the fiery red lava lake in front of them.

The orange-red firelight bathed them, creating a scene resembling a beautiful painting...

Xu Ming observed for a full one or two hours.

Perhaps because the 'Holy Grail of the Stars' was taken away, the 'Abyss' in the lava lake seemed to have been completely destroyed, with no movement at all.

Not to mention releasing abyssal flames, even ordinary magma seemed much calmer.

Xu Ming even vaguely sensed that the entire Yanluo Mountain had become somewhat lifeless.

It seems there's no need to stay any longer.

So Xu Ming led the Yukinoshita sisters down the mountain.

Before we knew it, it was already dawn.

Sunlight streamed down from the sky, completely dispelling the gloom on the island.

Chapter 402 Return, 'Exorcism Machine Gun'

Xu Ming put Erina and Asagami Fujino back into the Hyakki Yagyōshō.

Along the way, Xu Ming was somewhat worried about how to leave the island.

I was surprised to see a large yacht moored at the dock as soon as I arrived at the seaside.

Xu Ming immediately led the Yukinoshita sisters to greet them.

Unexpectedly, Snow Mother appeared on this yacht.

Soon the yacht carried everyone towards Tokyo.

On the yacht, Xu Ming also learned why they were there.
