I have an unlimited number of shikigami

The bodyguard's kneecap was crushed with a single step.

His supporting leg was broken and twisted, and at the moment the pain came, a small hand wrapped in black patted his back.

"boom--"

A ripple, visible to the right eye, spread through the air.

The second bodyguard, wielding a katana, desperate to save her, forcefully swung his sword. However, the woman in the latex suit moved with lightning speed, maneuvering through the air with incredible agility.

clap clap-

The woman's soft palms slapped out continuously from the air.

"Ahhh—" The bodyguard holding the katana collapsed to the ground, convulsing.

The slender figure of the woman in the latex suit continued to rush towards the woman in black mourning clothes, who was being protected by bodyguards.

The bodyguard blocking the woman in mourning grabbed a barbecue table and threw it. The woman in the latex suit, who was in a hurry, was too lazy to dodge anymore. She kicked the table in mid-air and smashed it to pieces.

"boom--"

Amidst the flying sawdust, the woman appeared before the woman in mourning clothes as if by magic.

Just then, a figure darted forward, tracing a subtle arc in the firelight. The woman in the latex suit, who was about to grab the woman in mourning clothes, suddenly felt a sense of alarm. She turned her head and met Fujiwara Izaya's clear and unwavering gaze.

Four eyes meet.

Fujiwara Izaya moved forward a little more.

Suddenly, a sharp killing intent emanated from the eyes beneath the mask, warning him: This has nothing to do with you, please step back!

"Police officer, don't move!" Fujiwara Izaya shouted with a strong sense of justice, continuing to approach her.

"..." The woman in the latex suit felt a slight annoyance.

I've never seen you fulfill your duties as a police officer before, why are you so enthusiastic now... With a hint of resentment, she suddenly rushed over, her palms slashing out, causing ripples to spread across the space like water.

"So strong!" Fujiwara Izaya was somewhat surprised.

From the moment they started fighting until now, this woman has been relying solely on physical skills to combat.

He didn't unleash any demonic or divine power, let alone Buddhist magic. He's incredibly strong simply because of his physique and skills.

In the flickering lantern light, two bodies twirled and intertwined.

Over here, the woman in mourning clothes, now temporarily safe, hid under the ruins of a nearby stall under the escort of bodyguards. Not far away, several girls dressed in gorgeous kimonos were approaching, the one in the lead with a pure white camellia in her hair.

Deeply impressed by the girl's strength, the woman in mourning clothes turned her back and pressed her finger on the communication device by her ear.

"...Attacked by an unknown woman...The bodyguards are not very useful, they probably can't resist...Fujiwara Izaya is also on the scene...This is not a good thing...The dance troupe from Kyoto is hostile, my identity may have been questioned...Requesting backup...The other party is a shrine maiden, she has divine power, don't send ordinary people..."

A moment later, the communicator responded.

"receive--"

"Stay calm, don't panic... Reinforcements will arrive in three minutes, please hold on! Huang Songyu will be evacuated tomorrow—"

Upon receiving the order from above, the woman in mourning felt a sense of relief.

"Madam, are you alright?" A young girl from Kyoto greeted her.

"It's alright, it's alright." The woman in mourning clothes looked shaken.

"Come this way, we'll protect you."

"where to?"

"Let's go to the temple first."

As they spoke, the group pulled and tugged at each other as they moved toward the distant mountain steps.

In the middle, two figures were still locked in combat. The Kyoto girl turned back from afar, her expression one of surprise and seriousness. The fight between the man and woman was incredibly exciting; their attacks were fierce and ruthless, their evasions perfect and swift. Their bodies danced a dazzling dance in the lantern light. Judging from the scene, the woman in the latex suit was the main attacker. Her attacks were fluid and continuous, keeping Fujiwara Izaya's body within her attack range from beginning to end.

But Fujiwara Izaya is equally agile.

They exchanged dozens of blows in a minute, each of them touching the other once, making it seem as if they were filming a pre-rehearsed stage play.

Before the steps, rows of lanterns line both sides, stretching all the way to the ancient temple on the mountain.

"Madam, please go up first," the Kyoto girl said, turning around to head towards the center of the battle.

But in that instant, a flash of fire ripped through the dark night sky.

Blood splattered from her left arm and was then dried by the high temperature.

With a sway, all the lanterns went out in an instant, and an indescribable sense of dread suddenly pressed down from the sky. The Kyoto girl's face showed an expression of disbelief, tinged with a hint of fear.

"Sister Fujishima—"

"Step back! It's a fox demon—"

"Madam, please hurry up the mountain—"

"They're that latex-clad woman's accomplice; she's a monster—"

In the pitch-black night, one "person" after another appeared. They looked exactly like humans, except that they had a pair of animal ears on their heads and one, two, or three soft, fluffy tails trailing behind them.

"The fox demon has really come..." Fujishima Kana's feelings were very complicated.

Earlier, while she was at Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, she received a request from Minami-Imono Town. She hadn't originally planned to come herself, as Minami-Imono was in the Kanto region, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her, a Kansai native, to accept a request outside her borders. However, the request mentioned that coming to Minami-Imono Town would lead to an encounter with a fox spirit, which made it impossible for her to refuse.

The fox is the messenger of Inari, the god of rice.

The Inari deity always appears in the form of a fox, and every Inari shrine enshrines a fox spirit. As the shrine maiden of the Inari shrine, Fujishima Kana cannot allow the fox spirit to cause trouble and tarnish the image of the fox.

For this reason, she came to Minami-Izumi-cho and got caught up in this inexplicable conflict.

※※※※※

On the outskirts of the battle, two young witches had just completed their task of evacuating the tourists.

"boom--"

A crisp sound came from the sky.

Hoshimi Rinko looked up, her brow furrowing.

The barrier he had erected shattered. Fox demons surged in from all directions, some with one, two, and three tails. Their rapid movement revealed their individual differences; each possessed its own unique beauty and allure, and their strength ranged from low to high.

"Wow!" Kasahara Asuka's eyes sparkled as she stared at the fox girls above. "So many foxes! Wow, so cool! Asuka wants to catch a few to play with!"

"Be careful!" Hoshimi Rinko warned her.

"You should be careful," Kasahara Asuka scoffed. "Asuka has already risen to the top, and you, who trained two more years than me, are still in the top, trash—"

“You…” Hoshimi Rinko took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to scold her, “There are many fox demons and their intentions are unclear. Fujiwara is still fighting that woman over there. Stay behind me and don’t do anything on your own…”

Before she could finish speaking, Asuka Kasahara rushed forward, holding a golden bell.

"Ha ha--"

"Little foxes, serve Lady Asuka obediently!"

This idiot will get herself killed someday... Hoshimi Rinko sighed with a headache and quickly followed to prevent her junior from having an accident.

"Belonging to Inari Shrine, defend against enemies—"

Shouts came from the steps, and Hoshimi Rinko looked over.

The girls from Kyoto unleashed divine power, generating azure flames. Above them, bright yellow foxfire approached head-on, and the two sides clashed instantly. The bright yellow and azure flames intertwined, and dazzling sparks danced wildly in the wind, igniting the entire night sky.

Further away, in the ancient temple, flickering lights began to appear.

Those were monks who came to provide reinforcements. They quickly joined the battle, further exacerbating the chaos.

Chapter 126. Unexplained Chaos, Oni Clan, Asuka is going to crawl into bed tonight!

"The Five Elements transform, so be it!"

Asuka Kasahara, who was at the forefront, waved her small hand and scattered the Five Elements Talismans as if they were free.

Divine power surged forth, amplified by the talisman, and launched an explosive attack on the group of fox demons. Due to its vast range and the lack of deliberate restraint, the area where the girls of Fushimi Inari Shrine were located was also submerged by this torrent of divine power, like a landslide, leaving them unable to escape unscathed.

"What is this woman doing—"

"Are all people in the Kanto region indiscriminate in their dealings with both friend and foe?!"

"The local shrine maiden is so rude—"

Amidst the girl's screams, Asuka Kasahara's divine power, enhanced by the Five Elements Talisman, transformed into a water dragon, which surged irresistibly into Kana Fujishima's Fire Boundary Curse.

When water encounters fire, water vapor erupts like volcanic gas.

"Chiyo Suzune, follow me. The rest of you, step back!" Kana Fujishima calmly gave the order.

Immediately afterward, the three girls leaped into the air, dodging the onslaught of water. Fire and water clashed below, and the rising steam caused their clothes to flutter like leaves in the wind. In the howling wind, several nearby fox demons were also affected, the strong gusts of wind whipping them through the air.

Feeling the strong wind blowing, Kana Fujishima squinted and stared down.

"Rinne, handle the girl with orange hair. Chiyo, rebuild the defensive barrier!"

"As ordered!"

"That orange-haired girl is pretty tough, I'll try my best!"

The two girls each gave a reply, and then their bodies rapidly fell to the ground.

The first to make a move was a girl named Rin.

"The shikigami is created! So be it!"

With a sharp shout, she released a handful of shikigami talismans, summoning a group of fake shikigami—shikigami made of divine power infused into the talismans, disposable items without physical form or life.

She waved more than twenty shikigami talismans in her hand, which transformed into tengu in succession, flapping their black wings and flying in a line towards Kasahara Asuri.

Kasahara Asuka's response to such tactics was very simple.

"Haha, senpai," she called out to Fujiwara Izaya from afar, "watch closely!"

Fujiwara Izaya glanced back at her briefly.

"Let me show you the results of Asuka's training!" The girl charged towards the group of fake tengu with a slightly arrogant smile on her face. As she advanced, she rang a bell in her hand, and a clear, tinkling sound rang out.

"I beseech the guardian gods! Eliminate all calamities! So be it!"

Swah——
