I'm having fun in Tokyo

He drew his sword, and the wind gathered, with visible white air currents converging around him.

Then, he raised the knife forward.

The airflow transformed into a towering wall of wind, rising majestically.

The main building, which crashed down like a meteor, stopped the moment it hit the wind wall. Countless pieces of debris that had come crashing down were also trapped within the wind wall, unable to advance any further.

Morikawa Yu looked up at Asaka's enormous demonic form in the distance and swung his sword.

The towering wind wall began to flow, and more wind accumulated, bringing airflow and strong pressure, forming a tornado that carried debris and buildings towards Asaka.

Asaka's pupils contracted, and her vertical cat-like eyes gleamed with a clear light.

Black and white light appeared, transforming into a barrier hundreds of meters high, firmly blocking her way.

This is her demonic power.

The larger a yokai's body, the more demonic power it can use. Therefore, the larger the yokai, the stronger it is, because it has more demonic power.

However, this is not absolute. When a monster reaches a certain size, its demonic power becomes pure, and its size will shrink again.

In this situation, although they are not large in size, their demonic power is far purer than that of the demons that look much bigger than them. They can easily destroy the huge demonic bodies that these demons are so proud of with a single blow.

And that is the difference between a high-ranking great demon and a great demon.

Ordinary monsters accumulate power to become powerful and large monsters. Only by purifying their demonic power and going through this process can they become high-ranking monsters.

Therefore, the great demons who served as generals among the demons in Kyoto were all enormous, three or four stories tall. Although the demon kings Ibuki and Ibaraki were only three or four meters tall, they easily and casually killed the generals.

She is a top-tier high-ranking demon who has already experienced solidifying her demonic power and shrinking her demonic body once.

Now her demon form has become enormous again, seven or eight times larger than when she was a great demon a thousand years ago, making her a top-tier high-ranking great demon.

If her demonic power is purified once again, she can enter a new realm and become a demon god among demons.

Ghosts and gods represent a status and a realm of power.

Although the Oni clan leader Seiro used a secret technique to become an evil spirit during the Kyoto campaign, and the Oni King Otamaru was also an Oni of Ise, it doesn't mean that all Oni clan deities are called Oni gods.

Conversely, any monster that surpasses the highest-ranking demons and enters a higher realm can be called a "demon."

Because monsters need the faith and fear of others to reach a higher realm, monsters that use this method to reach a higher realm are called "ghosts and gods".

Ghosts and spirits are also a type of deity; powerful ghosts and spirits are no different from noble deities.

This is also why some powerful yokai choose to become household gods of upper-class human families or priests of local shrines, because they collect human faith.

Another method is to massacre humans and monsters, absorbing their fear before death.

However, even if a yokai did this and became a demon, it would be killed by human gods and great yokai of the age of gods, so no yokai did this.

She also chose to become a household deity.

Chapter 489 The Wind That Follows Its Own Will

But she served as a household deity for over a thousand years, and dared not enjoy any of the faith for herself, giving it all to the cat-like demons who served as her messengers to help them cultivate.

Because she was afraid of becoming stronger and turning into a demon.

Nearly a thousand years ago, with the awakening of humankind and the hunting of great monsters from the age of gods, the position of gods was no longer a symbol of power, authority, and honor, but instead became a burden and torment.

Gods and spirits become weak and may even disappear because of their divinity.

Only Inari God thought of how to use others to bear divinity and cleverly use other people's incarnations to survive.

The first priestess also obtained this method from the Inari god, but the first priestess and Otamaru were ashamed to use it and kept seeking other methods until recently when Otamaru finally got rid of his divinity.

This is also why some great demons leave humanity and no longer serve as household gods worshipped by human families.

Faith and fear have no effect on them.

The high-ranking yokai knew how to absorb faith and fear to become "demons and gods," but none of them knew how to transcend the realm of demons and gods to become a great yokai of the divine age.

She didn't know either, so she never dared to become stronger, maintaining the strength of a top-tier high-ranking demon until now.

A barrier formed by demonic power rose vertically, blocking the tornado and debris from the building that were rushing towards her.

Although the demonic energy barrier trembled violently from the impact, seemingly on the verge of collapse, she replenished her demonic energy and managed to hold on, blocking the tornado and the building before crashing to the ground.

Before Morikawa Yu used wind walls and tornadoes to block and blow away the rubble, Asaka had already anticipated it.

As she erected the barrier, she slammed her fist into the ground, causing the street to tremble and crack under the immense force, the fissures winding towards where Morikawa Yu stood.

Morikawa Yu rose into the air, dodging the large crack in the ground, and flew towards Asaka's direction.

Asaka slammed her hand on the ground again, cracking it open, while her tail swept across a nearby building, snapping the building in half, and enveloping her in dust and light.

Morikawa Yu frowned.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the dust and fog, sweeping straight towards Morikawa Yu's position.

Morikawa Yu instinctively swung out a wind wall, but the beam of light passed right through him and hit his body.

His mind went blank, he felt a little dizzy, and it seemed like a black cat's head with its mouth open appeared in front of him, a head bigger than a truck... a cat's head!?

Sen Chuanyu was startled and immediately used Flash to teleport to a distance.

The next moment, the cat's mouth closed.

It glanced at Morikawa Yu who had suddenly appeared beside it, then swung its paw and slapped at Morikawa Yu's location.

Morikawa Yu had already used Flash, so she could only ride the wind and fly upwards, barely dodging the cat's paw that looked bigger than the ceiling.

He moved as far away from where he had been as he had been, and looking back, he discovered that the large black cat's head was none other than Asaka.

He thought for a moment and finally realized that the beam of light was actually an illusion and a mental attack.

He "saw" the beam of light, but he was actually under an illusion. He didn't suspect anything because of Asaka's act of creating dust and mist before releasing the mental illusion, and because the illusion of the "beam of light" was simple and clear.

In reality, Asaka only used a mental illusion on him, making him faint on the spot, and then made him think that there was a beam attack, so he released a wind wall.

But she actually wanted to get closer to him and use her enormous demonic body to attack him.

How bad, Asaka.

Cats are indeed clever, and they always have mischievous ideas.

Morikawa Yu shook his head inwardly, rode the wind towards Asaka's location, swung Tsurumaru, gathered wind momentum, and condensed a tornado that crashed towards her demonic form.

She leaped up, dodging the tornado unleashed by Morikawa Yu, and landed to the side, pressing her claws against a building at the street corner, instantly collapsing it.

There were also many cars waiting at the traffic lights at the street intersection.

When she stomped down with her other paw, the two or three cars closest to her paw were instantly crushed.

She narrowed her eyes, swept her paws aside, clearing away the cars at the street corner. Her paws landed in the middle of the street to steady herself. She looked up to look for Morikawa Yu, only to find that Morikawa Yu had disappeared.

The next moment, Morikawa Yu appeared above her head, sheathed Tsurumaru, and, still wearing the scabbard, struck Asaka on the head.

"Ugh..." Asaka winced in pain and let out a muffled groan.

She endured the pain, released her demonic power to form a barrier, blocking Morikawa Yu. She then used her demonic power to pinpoint Morikawa Yu's location, raised her cat paw, and slapped at Morikawa Yu.

However, just as her claws were about to strike Morikawa Yu, Morikawa Yu's figure vanished.

She felt as if she had captured an invisible gust of wind.

The wind scattered in all directions as she slapped with her cat's paw, bypassing her claws and leaving her with nowhere to put her grip.

She stumbled and braced herself against a building, causing it to collapse.

Immediately afterwards, Morikawa Yu's figure reappeared, flying right where Asaka's cat paw had struck, without moving an inch.

He was testing his new abilities.

Through his recent invisibility, he discovered another use of the Sword Saint-level wind power—transforming into wind.

He can transform his form into an invisible wind, easily disappearing or reappearing, appearing in the area where his wind influences.

Previously, he would ride the wind, using the forward slash, or conceal his figure in the wind, using the Swift Step.

However, by transforming into wind, he became like the wind itself, able to use both the forward slash and the swift step simultaneously, moving freely while invisible, and without being hurt by Asaka's "swinging" attack.

Moreover, its winds are extremely destructive; once they erupt, they can directly destroy surface buildings over a thousand meters, creating huge blank areas.

Of course, this doesn't mean he learned how to "self-destruct," but rather that he gained another means of attack.

When others thought he was trapped, he could use the wind to unleash a black and white burst of light, a silent storm that resembled the boundary between dawn and dusk, causing massive destruction and breaking through obstacles while simultaneously sending himself to the outer area after the wind burst.

Even if he can't win, he can still run away.

Morikawa Yu solidified his body and appeared in the sky above Asaka.

This time, he slung Tsurumaru at his waist, sheathed Mikazuki, and tapped Asaka's forehead with the sheathed Mikazuki.

Asaka felt pain again, and her huge cat body was forced to take a step back. Her nine black python-like tails swept out and pushed against the surrounding area, instantly collapsing several more buildings.

However, Morikawa Yu's figure disappeared again.

"I'm not fighting anymore, I'm not fighting anymore." Asaka covered her forehead with her paw.

"I surrender."

Morikawa Yu appeared above her head, holding the scabbard of Mikazuki, and looked down at her: "Really?"

“Of course it’s true.” Asaka rolled her eyes, not caring whether Morikawa Yu could see it or not, shook her head, and her huge cat body slowly faded away, finally revealing her original petite human form in the spot.

Morikawa Yu slowly descended from the sky, taking Mikazuki and Tsurumaru into his Goshuincho space.

Asaka stared at his face and pouted.

"Damn it, you big idiot human, you don't even know how to give me anything."

Morikawa Yu smiled at her: "It's just a casual spar, are you really going to let me win?"

"I was just playing around, so I was hoping you would let me win. But after that, aside from not being able to react at first, you kept bullying me and hitting my head repeatedly."

"Huh, I'm ignoring you."

Asaka turned around and walked towards the spot where the two of them had started in the area.

Because of their battle, the Chiyoda Ward was almost completely destroyed within the domain, but fortunately, the battle only took place within the domain.

Once the realm is removed and one returns to the real world, the ruins within those realms will dissipate.

Morikawa Yu caught up with Asaka: "Asaka, you seem a little unhappy?"

"Because I won, you feel resentful?"

"Where is it?"

Asaka turned around and glared at him again: "You've already reached the Sword Saint realm and become so strong. I know I can't beat you."

But she hesitated for a moment, turned her head, and said with a complicated look in her eyes, "I just... I just feel a little embarrassed."

“Back in the past, I was the strongest person in the family, except for Lady Mitsuko and Lady Hisazuki. Although I am not as good as Lady Mitsuko and Lady Hisazuki, nor as good as Lady Ryoko and other god lords, I am far behind them. But my strength is still considered very strong in the hidden realm.”

"If anything happens and Lady Hisagi and Lady Mitsuko can't protect you, I can protect you and help you."

"Turns out you're even better than me now..."

She suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Morikawa Yu, stared into his eyes, and tightened her tail.

"Human, you won't think I'm useless and just abandon me from now on, will you?"

"Ah, how come?"

Morikawa Yu was taken aback for a moment: "How could I not care about you? Of course I will care about you."

Asaka looked up, a smile playing on her lips, looking somewhat pleased.

Morikawa Yu: "I never expected you to protect me or help me. At home, aren't you just acting cute and being a mascot with Shinjue?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Asaka's head, stroked her cat ears, and then stroked one of her tails, revealing a smile.

Even if a nine-tailed cat-eared loli can't do anything but be cute, that's still awesome!

"You! You stupid human, you bastard, you big bastard!" Asaka blushed.

"Do you really have to compare me to Xinjue?"

"I am the strongest nine-tailed cat in the last millennium, and also in this millennium, the superior of the cat-transformation clan, the Lord of the cat-transformation!"

"If it weren't for the fear that accumulating faith and becoming a demon would be a burden from divinity, I would have already broken through to the realm of a high-ranking demon and become a demon of the cat-like clan!"

"Never mind, I'm going to get stronger, even stronger."
