You say this is a love game?

The more you see monsters, the more you'll find that many of them have things in common. Human imagination is like that; it's inevitable that material will be reused.

Information about Qian Xinu quickly flashed through Mizutani Makoto's mind, but it was impossible for him to stop the sharp knife. He immediately obeyed the surging fighting consciousness in his heart, turned around almost immediately, mobilized all his strength, and chopped off the huge head with a simple and unpretentious Wu Nian Xiang Zhan.

But this time, he appeared at the same spot.

He didn't even step out?

"It's an illusion."

Chidori reminded.

"Qian Xi Nu is a youkai skilled in illusion. Just as her legend states, once you're possessed by her, even if you run, it's too late... The so-called 'escape' is nothing more than running in circles at her behest."

She whispered again: "It feels like she is almost in the middle?"

"She's just a mere girl named Qianxi. To have reached this level, she must be either an old monster who has lived for a long time, or she must have absorbed a lot of human energy and souls... It's most likely the latter. I can feel the foul aura coming from her."

When Mizutani Makoto stopped, Qian Xinu's huge head floating in the air also raised her eyebrows, and a playful smile appeared on her heavily made-up cheeks.

Qian Xi Nu smiled and said, "Brother, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Why don't you stay and play with me~"

"Hehe, you have the ability to distinguish between handsome men and beautiful women. You are so good-looking, why do you wear a mask? Why don't you take the mask off and let me take a good look?"

Mizutani Makoto looked at her calmly, "Sister? You old ghost are quite good at flattering yourself."

The Qianxi girl's smile froze, and she shook her head with a look of regret, saying, "You have a really sharp tongue, little brother."

"What a pity, little brother, are you here to cause trouble? I am the imperial envoy of this place after all, and I have to advance and retreat with this land. Otherwise, I really want to keep you here and love you well..."

As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes suddenly lit up:

"Ah, I have a suggestion. How about you stop fighting and just go find a room with me and have some fun together? I'll be able to report to you and naturally won't make things difficult for you."

She is extremely confident.

On weekdays, she specifically induces "hallucinations" for the believers of the Red Lotus Seed Guardian Society, which is the so-called "meditation". The "tranquility" obtained through meditation is nothing more than an illusion induced by her ability, and she will also charge a small fee for this... Isn't the sense of loss and emptiness of the believers the result of her draining away their vitality?

Extracting essence will lead to subsequent fatigue, but the more tired you are, the more you want to pursue peace of mind.

She is responsible for all the newcomers and the old people who have been fooled by the doctrine.

It’s really fast.

Before being recruited into the gang, Qian Xi had never thought that as a monster, she could practice so openly.

Think back to those hard times before, hiding in the mountains and forests for decades, accumulating spiritual power day after day. If I occasionally came out to collect money, I had to be careful not to attract powerful exorcists and be eliminated by them... It's nothing like now? She deceives humans in the name of "imperial master", and these people believe whatever she says. Even swallowing essence has become so simple.

She has been a member of the Red Lotus Seed Guardian Society for only about two years.

How many years of hard training would be enough to store the essence and souls consumed in the past two years?

She, ah, has come and is in the middle.

Even with her spiritual power, she is still a leader among the middle-level ones, and it is expected that she will reach the upper level in the future.

This road is really fast and urgent.

I had thought this demon's life would just pass by in a daze, but who knew she would have such an opportunity? As long as the Red Lotus Seed Guard continues to expand, one day, even the strongest level will not be unimaginable, right?

"Hey~ Hey~"

She looked at the young man in front of her and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Don't look so fierce, I'm not afraid of you, sister."

According to legend, Qian Xinu is famous for her ability of illusion. And it is not an illusion that bewitches people, but an illusion that traps people... She maintained an exaggerated smile and slowly took out a bell from her bosom. The crisp sound of the bell came from all directions like surround sound, quietly reducing the boy's ability to perceive crisis.

He is just a reckless man.

You're actually going to face the monster with a sword?

Not all monsters would fight him in close combat. If they met a sneaky monster like her, wouldn't they have no ability to resist at all?

As she was thinking this, she saw the young man in front of her start to adjust his breathing.

The next moment, a stream of light overflowed from the void, and in the blink of an eye, a surge of spiritual power swept up, and the gorgeous black feather veil immediately covered his body, and his dark eyes revealed an ominous scarlet color.

"what is this?"

She was stunned.

In her perception, the sense of crisis emanating from the young man in front of her suddenly increased a lot, and even made her feel ominous.

What's up with this guy?

But before Qian Xinu could be shocked, she saw that the large sword floating in the air had also changed.

Chidorimaru turned into a dazzling blue-purple light, which was completely different from the light that Satori Yoshiko turned into. Nikuzashiki's light was quiet, dead, and gloomy, but Chidori's light was so dazzling, like a thunder dragon snake that cut through the night sky, and the light actually spread a spider-web-like electric current.

"Can you bear it?"

"I can bear it."

"Hmph, don't get me wrong, this is a special case in combat!"

In the young man's resolute gaze, this streak of light fell like thunder and struck his heart.

“The gods are coming down!!”

Double summon!

Qian Xinu suddenly came to her senses and raised her hand to stop it, but it was too late.

She released a dark green poisonous mist, but the mist couldn't even get close before being dispersed by thunder.

Under the thunder, the boy's body shape actually changed a second time. The gorgeous Karamatsu kimono twisted in the light. When the thunder dissipated, the young warrior stepped out of the lightning with steady steps.

Qian Xinu almost lost her voice.

The person who appeared in front of Qian Xi was almost a ronin warrior.

The gorgeous kimono and haori on his body had disappeared, replaced by a wide cloak draped over his shoulders. The material looked particularly thick and textured, with a dull karaf texture hidden on it.

His attire was exceptionally sharp, and the collar revealed a tight-fitting armor lining. It wasn't the full-body armor of Kitajima En's armor, but rather a lightweight suit that emphasized both protection and flexibility, allowing the wearer to move freely in battle. Furthermore, the armor was covered in intricate patterns and carvings, and if it were in the modern world, it would undoubtedly be renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship.

A six-foot-long sword emerged from thin air, its blade pure white, its handle adorned with a pattern of flying birds. It landed in Mizutani Makoto's hands, and he gripped it tightly with both hands.

[Achieve the special status "Second Level of God-Serving and Spirit-Descending".]

【Mizutani Makoto (16)】

Strength: 10 → 14 → 24

[Stamina: 7→11→21]

Agility: 7 → 11 → 17

Intelligence: 8 → 12 → 18

【Charm:9→12→10】

[Spiritual Power: 29→31→35]

Chidori has a kind of numerical charm.

Compared to the medium-cup mother's "Charm +3", "Spiritual Power +2", and "Other attributes +4", Chidori's attribute blessing is more rough.

Strength +10, Vitality +10, Agility +6, Intelligence +6, Spiritual Power +4.

If there is any shortcoming, it is probably the overly strong righteousness that suppresses the "charm" brought by Nizashiki - this is easy to understand. The charm of Nizashiki is essentially a blessing of temperament, just like a beautiful monster boy, who is devilish and seductive, making people unable to take their eyes off.

But Chidori is a righteous Thunder Blade, and this feminine temperament is naturally in conflict with Chidori. Under the double descent of the gods, it was forced to be squeezed out.

If the previous Mizutani Makoto was like a nobleman who called himself a samurai but still couldn't get rid of the luxurious and noble style, then the current Mizutani Makoto is a masculine and heroic young ronin, and his posture in armor is that of a true samurai!

Now, the boy's hair is tied up casually, with a few strands of hair fluttering in the wind, making him look particularly free and unrestrained.

His eyes are sharp, and his figure appears particularly tall, mysterious, and oppressive in the night.

The only visible traces of Nizashiki are the dim grey pine and bamboo patterns on the cloak and outer garments, but the pine and bamboo patterns are almost invisible, becoming part of the texture of the clothes and are not very conspicuous.

"call……"

His new skin has arrived.

"But this posture is not the most complete."

On a soul level, Mizutani Makoto felt a slight difference.

Satori Yoshiko still hugged him tightly, but Chidori curled up and floated beside his hand like a kitten. There seemed to be a bond of light between the two of them, connecting them together.

The little god of fortune seemed to sense something and frowned slightly, still with his eyes closed, but his little head arched twice towards his arms.

This means that the distance between Chidori and him is not as close as the distance between Satori Yoshiko and him.

And this sense of distance will be reflected in the present-day form of the God of Service... In other words, his fusion with Chidori has not yet reached its most complete form, and the current attribute blessing may have to be discounted, probably only about 70% to 80%.

Furthermore, double superposition brings up a problem.

"Yako is too weak."

"Her abilities were partially squeezed out by Chidori."

[Abilities: Disaster Transfer, Yatagarasu Beak, Thunder Prison, Heavenly Tribulation, Eight Thunder Gods, One Sword]

[Chidori Maru: Chidori Dance, Thunder Walk]

The sinister "Cursed Disease Coat" and the bullying "Anti-Soul Thread" were squeezed out by Chidori.

There are two reasons for this.

First, Satori Yoshiko is too weak. Even though she has been promoted to the lower rank, she is still far inferior to Chidori, who is in the middle rank, in terms of racial value. Even though the spiritual power gap between the two is not big, Akuzashiki is completely unable to compete with Chidori. This legendary sword has bullied Akuzashiki in the workplace.

The second reason is that the compatibility between the two is too bad... Nikuzashiki's whole body is spreading with the power of curse, and he is extremely sinister, but Chidori came to the world in the posture of a thunder blade, and he took the path of being upright and majestic. He stacked Satori Yoshiko and Chidori together, and the two seemed to be incompatible like water and fire, which led to the ability brought by the double summoning being squeezed out, and Satori Yoshiko, the weaker party, was directly bullied.

These two factors interact with each other to create the current situation.

Mizutani Makoto went from being a cunning and treacherous Soul Five warrior to a dignified and upright Thunderbolt Warrior. He lost his ability to use curses to reduce his health, and instead gained powerful damage output and killing abilities.

Mizutani had a feeling: "The conflict between these two will probably have to be resolved by mastering the [Spirit Commander]... Or perhaps the harmony of yin and yang emphasized by [Niten Ichiryu] could also help resolve this conflict?"

But let’s put this unexpected variable aside for now.

The white mask on Mizutani Makoto's face had been destroyed by thunder. Now the young man's heroic appearance appeared in Qian Xinu's eyes, but it could no longer arouse Qian Xinu's friendship.

The aura of thunder emanating from him made Qian Xi tremble all over!

Hallucination?

Next-

His sight fell on the middle-aged woman with a sweet smile again. Mizutani Makoto narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strong murderous intent burst out.

The monsters outside the cracks are not necessarily evil.

But on the other hand, if a monster appears that harms people, it is definitely the monster's own choice.

Since you like to take quick and urgent shortcuts, it is natural that you fall off a cliff and get smashed to pieces.

Hold the knife with both hands.

Now he can only wield the sword Chidori Maru.

But one handful is enough.

Even though he is a dual-sword wielder, his heart has been conquered by Chidori. He has to put the other two swords aside for now, as he is devoted to Chidori!

Start.

It was a familiar opening move, but now it was finally his turn to wield the large sword.

Mizutani Makoto slowly raised the large sword. The six-foot blade glowed coldly in the night. Thunder spread out from the tip of the sword, wandering in the void like a spider web.

The wild thunder leaped along the blade, violently tearing apart everything it could touch. Even the air was inevitably spread and swallowed by it.

Spider-web-like lightning wandered in the void, and a burning smell came from it.

Qian Xi, who had been calm just now, was now screaming in fear. She immediately broke free from the illusion, and the giant head wanted to escape from here.

She was just like Mizutani Makoto who faced Chidorimaru head-on. However, Mizutani Makoto had the blessing of the second stage of the [Secret Medicine of Boiling Blood], and he also had combat skills such as Commanding Gods and Scorched Earth Explosion as his backing. That was why he had the courage to face Chidorimaru's mighty attack. However, Qian Xi was just a gloomy ghost. How could she dare to face this mighty thunder?

"Eight Thunder Gods Itachi!"

In an instant, it seemed as if the sky and the earth lost their color!

An extremely dazzling lightning burst out from the blade, turning into a dazzling white light that almost engulfed the vision. The lightning seemed to turn into an angry dragon, hovering above Mizutani Makoto's head.
