I have an unlimited number of shikigami

※※※※※

Top deck of the ship.

Behind the dark blue curtains, in a room with black wooden planks, the smell of burning incense was overwhelming.

Mrs. Hoshimi stood by the window, looking worriedly at her daughter's figure in the distance: "With the Wind and Thunder God Fan, Rinko can indeed fight a demon king-level whale, but what about that guy hiding in the thundercloud?"

"It's just Thor, why make such a fuss?" Mrs. Kasahara said with a smile, not taking it seriously. "Your good son-in-law is down there, let him handle it. We old folks should save our energy."

Mrs. Hoshimi glared helplessly at her best friend.

The room, about the size of four and a half tatami mats, was filled with scrolls, bells, talismans, and other props. Mrs. Kasahara changed into a noble shrine maiden's robe trimmed with gold magnolias, sat cross-legged on a pile of miscellaneous items, and casually patted and rang the bells.

"Jingle-jingle~"

The crisp sound is relaxing to listen to.

"Himeko, why aren't you in a hurry at all..."

"What's the use of being anxious? I'm anxious every day that I'm getting older, but have I turned back into a youthful and lovely girl? No, I haven't, have I? On the contrary, the more anxious I am, the faster I'll turn into an old woman."

"You idiot, stop spouting nonsense!"

"You idiot, what do you mean by calling me a fool? I see your face is getting wrinkled, and I was just trying to calm you down, wasn't that a great way to soothe you? And you still insult me!"

"I don't want to see your face!"

"Do you even know how to appreciate beauty? Look at my still youthful face, vibrant body, firm breasts, captivatingly slender waist, and other parts of me are still very young!"

"It's disgusting to look at!"

"I think Miko likes her older sister too much but doesn't dare to admit it, so she's saying the opposite, right? But even so, you shouldn't get angry at your older sister. Be careful, or I'll eat Fujiwara-kun up and leave you nothing."

"You think you can beat me with this little bit of skill? Don't be so smug! I just haven't used my full strength yet! Watch out, when I get serious, I'll make you cry alone at night."

"Please hurry up and use your strength! It's okay if you lose, Fujiwara-kun will comfort me in my bed."

"what--"

While danger lurks outside, the two sisters inside are engaged in their daily bickering.

A rumbling sound, like a millstone grinding stone, came from the rain curtain, as if the Thunder God from the Land of the Dead was already wreaking havoc on the sea.

Chapter 201. The Witch Slays the Giant Whale and Battles the Thunder God

Thunder rumbled and wind howled.

Rinko Hoshimi faced the whale that appeared and disappeared among the waves, and gracefully leaped into the water. Her shrine maiden outfit drew a beautiful arc on the sea surface where dark clouds hung low and lightning flashed, as she flew towards the dark whale.

The electric light illuminated her features, and her clear black and white eyes shone as brightly as frost and snow.

"Woo~"

A deafening roar, like weeping, echoed from beneath the sea.

A demonic aura wafted towards us.

The sea waves surge and churn endlessly.

"Be careful, senior!" Kasahara Asuka shouted.

Hoshimi Rinko stared intently at the sea.

The turbid waves roared, and the seawater suddenly exploded, creating giant waves tens of meters high.

"Is your Shinto sect so desperate that you've sent juniors like you to stop me?"

A majestic yet mocking roar echoed from the sea, followed by a sudden "bang" as the surface of the sea burst open. The seawater parted to both sides, as if torn apart by an invisible hand, the cracks widening as countless bubbles surged upwards with a gurgling sound.

A terrifying pressure erupted in an instant, and a giant whale leaped out of the sea, its body nearly a hundred meters long.

The red-haired child's eye roared and howled.

The sharkskin, a deep blue color, had rough textures that were faintly visible in the dim light of the water, and its sharp teeth gleamed with a cold, white light.

Seawater gushed forth.

Holding the Wind and Thunder God Fan, Hoshimi Rinko's graceful figure was wrapped in a tight-fitting shrine maiden outfit, which was now soaked with sweat.

Waves surged onto the deck, dozens of meters high, causing the ship to list severely, like a magnificent, colorful screen being blown over.

Mrs. Hoshimi stood at the window, gazing into her daughter's eyes with a gentle light.

"Rinko has such a good attitude." Mrs. Kasahara also came over and looked at the sea with her best friend. "If Xiangxiang could have half of this, I, as her mother, wouldn't have to..." At this point, she looked at the swaying flying boat on the sea and shook her head with a wry smile.

"From now on, let Xiangxiang call me Mom?" Mrs. Hoshimi smiled and glanced at her.

Mrs. Kasahara pondered for a moment, then murmured, "So, because she can't have her sister, she wants her sister's daughter..."

"Himeko!"

"Alright, alright, let her call me that, it's no big deal. Just let Rinko call me Mom too."

"Then I'll be at a huge loss!"

"It's worth it. Think about it, I have two daughters, and you only have one..."

As the two were chatting and laughing, a deafening roar suddenly erupted in their ears. Turning around, they saw that it was Hoshimi Rinko who had started her attack, and the sea was now raging with towering waves.

The giant whale had completely burst out of the sea, almost touching the bodies of everyone on the deck.

Its massive body, hundreds of meters tall, created walls of waves that rose up, the sound of the churning waves even drowning out the thunder in the sky.

"Capture her alive! Capture Miss Rinko alive!" someone shouted.

"Miss Rinko, I'm here to help you!" someone shouted, rushing forward.

"Step back. The chairman instructed that this is Miss Rinko's training..."

The cheers on deck grew louder and louder.

As Fujiwara Izaya skimmed low over the waves, he once again experienced Hoshimi Rinko's immense popularity within the Shinto cult.

The giant sea monster opened its blood-red maw.

Countless sea serpents, formed from demonic power, spewed from her mouth, howling and tearing as they lunged at the priestess.

Hoshimi Rinko quickly conjured a talisman, forming a barrier in front of her, and then flicked her wrist.

"Dispel all misfortune! So be it!"

"boom!"

The shockwave exploded.

With a wave of the Wind and Thunder God Fan, countless mountain-like waves were shattered.

Sharp wind blades came from all directions, instantly filling the entire space. These wind blades carried a desolate and murderous aura, and countless newly formed sea serpents were all strangled in that instant. Blood spread, and the stench of blood was carried far away by the sea breeze.

"Wind and Thunder God Fan!" exclaimed the giant whale, Tong Kongju.

Hoshimi Rinko remained expressionless and fanned the seawater a few more times.

The air surged and the waves crashed back, causing the massive whale's body to sway violently in the surf. The sound of bones cracking echoed incessantly in the darkness, blood gushed from its skin, and its scarlet eyes gleamed in the seawater, glaring at the distance.

Instantly, countless points of light appeared above Hoshimi Rinko's head; these were water arrows formed from the condensed energy of a giant whale.

"brush--"

Countless water arrows plummeted downwards, their pale yellow light striking the priestess on the sea surface. The shimmering arrows trailed streaks of light, tracing beautiful arcs, as dazzling as a meteor shower splashing across the ocean.

"Words of power, barrier!"

Rinko Hoshimi's fair fingertips deftly shifted between hand seals.

A pale blue divine barrier immediately opened, covering her entire body.

"boom!"

Another dull bang followed.

The wind howled across the sea, and giant waves rolled.

Asuka Kasahara, who was watching the battle up close from her airship, frantically tried to steady the vessel. With the howling wind and crashing waves, she could barely open her eyes, and the airship was on the verge of capsizing and crashing into the sea.

Be careful.

A warm voice came from behind me.

Immediately afterwards, a warm and strong arm wrapped around her shoulder.

Kasahara Asuka wiped the water off her face, looked at her senior, and after seeing his pair of pure white wings, she gave an undeniable snort.

"I don't have time to mess around with you right now." Fujiwara Rinya chuckled and pinched her cheek, then hugged her shoulders tightly, focusing all his attention on his senior.

The explosions on the sea were becoming more and more frequent.

The water arrows multiplied into countless points, shooting towards the divine barrier with explosive sounds like tens of thousands of firecrackers exploding simultaneously. At the same time, the giant whale once again spewed out sea serpents, which gathered together, churning and surging as they rushed towards the barrier.

"Can you manage, senior?" Kasahara Asuka asked with a worried frown.

"It's alright now, senior's breathing is very stable." Fujiwara Rinya stared intently at the water splashing in front of him, which formed a curtain of water that blocked most of his view. "If anything happens later, I'll rush over immediately. Remember to stay far away."

"……Oh."

Kasahara Asuka responded listlessly.

Huge waves crashed against the barrier, the sound of shattering echoing continuously.

The giant whale, which had been continuously manipulating the attack, suddenly changed its tone slightly, "Something's not right."

Despite being bombed, the priestess's breathing remained perfectly steady.

He looked up at the sky.

The sky, covered with thunderclouds, was no different from before.

However, the bright yellow lightning that had previously traversed the clouds was replaced by blue lightning imbued with divine power.

Fujiwara Izaya also noticed something was wrong.

A rumbling sound, like turning a stone mortar, echoed continuously. Streaks of blue lightning ripped through the night, illuminating the churning sea. Large raindrops pelted the surface, turning the vast ocean a leaden color in the lightning's glow, its waves rising and falling.

"Thunder and lightning, command me! So be it!"

The senior student's clear rebuke rang out.
