Why is my anime art style so weird?

Roswaal lowered his arm and looked down.

The mansion in front of him was in ruins, as if it had been hit by a tornado.

"You bastard! How dare you!?"

Roswaal's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

No matter how cultured someone is, they won't be happy if their own home is forcibly demolished.

However, after a while, Roswaal's expression returned to calm.

Xu Mingzheng felt something was strange.

Suddenly, visible black negative energy appeared out of nowhere and gathered in the mansion once again.

A pale little hand reached out from the shadows once more.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ming couldn't help but frown.

"Mu Da! Mu Da!

All your efforts have been in vain!

Roswaal finally couldn't help but burst into unrestrained laughter, his eyes filled with smugness.

"I admit your attack just now really startled me."

However, the magic array I set up had already been integrated with the spiritual veins of this mountain range, and could completely withstand attacks from a level seven soul.

Unless your attack can directly destroy the entire mountain, or multiple level 7 souls launch a continuous attack, it is impossible to break this magic circle!

But can you do it?

Roswaal appeared emboldened.

His confidence is certainly not without reason.

Under normal circumstances, an Onmyoji who possesses a shikigami with a soul level of seven is already considered a great Onmyoji, a powerful figure who commands respect in a region.

Moreover, he was a famous American tycoon, and the great Japanese Onmyoji dared not lay a hand on him, as it could very likely trigger a diplomatic incident.

This is why, despite his years of planning, the Exorcist Association has never dared to touch him.

The Grand Onmyoji is unable to act, and the ordinary Onmyoji are no match for him.

That's why Roswaal has been so arrogant all this time.

Roswaal suddenly noticed a playful smile on Xu Ming's face as he casually twirled his phone.

Roswaal frowned.

"why are you laughing?"

Xu Ming's smile remained unchanged.

"It's nothing, I just remembered something happy."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Roswaal with a strange expression.

"You just said... that multiple level seven souls attacking continuously could destroy the magic circle you set up?"

Roswaal scoffed.

"Humph!

Little friend, you can't do anything to me, so you'd better back off obediently.

"Once I achieve my goal, I will leave naturally. Your Exorcist Association has no need to meddle."

"I'm sorry, but I'd like to give it a try."

Xu Ming seemed extremely stubborn.

"You overconfident brat!"

Roswaal waved his hand casually, and the small hand that emerged from the shadows once again surrounded the group.

Xu Ming picked up his phone and uttered a single word.

"Flash charging mode".

Suddenly, a crimson light flashed on the screen of the exorcism phone, and Xu Ming immediately felt a surge of power erupting from the phone.

The energy charges that had just been used up were instantly replenished in just a few breaths.

Without saying a word, Xu Ming picked up his phone and started snapping photos of the entire mansion.

Click! Click! ...

The sounds rang out one after another, so fast that they seemed to form a monotonous melody.

What followed was a series of flashes, and then a purple-gold flash exploded directly inside the mansion.

The entire mansion was completely illuminated, the light even reaching the nearby forest, startling a large flock of birds and beasts.

Xu Ming vaguely heard a scream, followed by a sound like breaking glass, but these sounds were quickly drowned out by the sound of camera shutters and flashes.

Ten minutes later, the flashing lights finally stopped.

"Damn, my hands are so sore! I wish I had an auto-clicker."

Xu Ming couldn't hold back any longer and started shaking his hands forcefully.

In just ten minutes, it tapped once every 0.6 seconds on average. This frequency is comparable to the hand movements of a certain crab.

Such a high-frequency exorcism flash storm had terrifying results.

After the light faded, the air in the entire building was as fresh as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with not a trace of negative energy in sight.

Even the negative energy on Roswaal's body was completely purified.

After the decorations on his body were dispelled, his face began to age rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a hunchbacked old man with white hair.

He raised a trembling finger to point at Xu Ming, his lips quivering, and then collapsed to the ground and died without uttering a single word.

Xu Ming then realized that the exorcism light did have some effect on him, but because he was a living person, the damage from the exorcism light was extremely minor.

But the sheer volume is overwhelming.

Xu Ming unleashed a barrage of exorcising lights, enough to satisfy anyone's hunger.

They slowly wore Roswaal down into a mule, and eventually wore him down to death.

It is truly terrifying.

As for Roswaal's incredibly confident magic circle, it had long since vanished into thin air, leaving not even a trace.

Xu Ming then inspected the entire mansion and finally found Emilia, the twin maids, and others in a basement.

Looking at their desiccated bodies, which had been bricked into the wall, Xu Ming sighed deeply.

Deep inside the place where the body was found, Xu Ming also found a hidden door. After opening it, he discovered that it was an underground ice storage room.

In the very center of the icehouse stood a crystal coffin, inside which lay a beautiful woman whose face and hair resembled Emilia's, but whose figure appeared more mature and exuded an intellectual air.

If Xu Ming wasn't mistaken, she should be Roswaal's teacher—Echidna.

Xu Ming found a research notebook similar to a diary written by Roswaal outside the icehouse, which also proves this point.

After Echidna's death, Roswaal went to great lengths to resurrect her.

Chapter 501 Young people these days really know how to have fun

Roswaal didn't know where he found this evil ritual.

By having the sacrifice Emilia repeatedly reincarnate between life and death, ultimately resulting in a reversal of life and death, Echidna is fully resurrected.

Under Xu Ming's relentless barrage of shots, the entire ceremony was completely destroyed, and Echidna's body, placed in the crystal coffin, slowly turned to ashes.

The fog surrounding the mansion began to dissipate gradually.

Xu Ming tidied up a bit, put all the shikigami into the Hyakki Yagyōshō, and then headed down the mountain.

6:05 a.m.

As dawn broke, the steam rising from the hot springs gathered together, forming clusters of snow-white clouds among the mountains, creating a scene resembling a fairyland from afar.

Inside the hot spring resort at the foot of the mountain.

Kato Megumi sat in the restaurant's main hall, with a large round table in front of her filled with all sorts of Cantonese dim sum.

Shrimp dumplings, rice noodle rolls, char siu buns, Cantonese siu mai, walnut buns, steamed sponge cake... more than twenty kinds in total!

"Lord Miko, should we put these tea snacks in a steamer to keep them warm?"

"The priestess who was attending to me asked softly."

Kato Megumi glanced up at the wall clock, smiled, and shook her head.

"unnecessary."

Just then, the paper sliding door of the restaurant was suddenly opened, and Xu Ming, looking travel-worn, walked in.

Good morning, looks like I'm not late.

Xu Ming smiled and raised his hand in greeting.

Kato Megumi smiled faintly.

"No, you've come back just in time."

As Kato Megumi spoke, she glanced at the tea and snacks on the table.

At this moment, a faint wisp of steam still emanated from the tea and snacks...

Natsuki Subaru stared silently at the sea outside the window, his eyes lifeless and unfocused, like a walking corpse.

dong dong!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Subaru Natsuki snapped out of his daze and said something under his breath.

"Please come in."

Xu Ming pushed open the door and entered.

Upon seeing Xu Ming, Natsuki Subaru was taken aback at first, then a glint of light and a deep longing instantly appeared in his eyes... until Xu Ming gently shook his head at him.
