I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

—The incredibly powerful understanding effect just now was most likely the lingering influence left by the nameless swordsman's direct guidance with his sword heart.

"This old gentleman is truly generous..."

Wow!

On the back of his right hand, a dazzling silver light stung Uesugi Tetsuya's eyes.

He looked down, took a closer look, and was startled twice.

Mastery level: 5.011%

Five percent?!

One moment of enlightenment and my mastery increased by a whopping 5%?!

Staring at the constantly popping up notifications, Uesugi Tetsuya's mouth dropped open in astonishment—

[Because your mastery of the "Lin" character technique has reached 5%, the effectiveness of your "Lin" character technique has been enhanced!]

[Because your mastery of the "Lin" technique has reached 5%, the cost of using the "Lin" technique has been reduced!]

[Because your mastery of the "Lin" technique has reached 5%, you have achieved a new effect!]

【The Secret of the Character "Lin"】

Mastery level: 5.011%

[Effect 1: After use, a barrier can be created at will.]

[Effect 2: After use, it enhances oneself.]

[—The beginning of all things, the ruler of all things.]

Uesugi Tetsuya intended to casually swipe aside the formulaic effect enhancement prompts, but he soon saw the newly appeared "Effect Two".

Are there any experts? !

The brief introduction piqued Uesugi Tetsuya's interest. He wanted to see what kind of enhancement method this was...

—Rumble rumble rumble!

A loud mechanical roar rapidly approached from the distant sky, becoming almost within reach in just a few seconds, seemingly disappearing from the azure horizon.

Come again? !

When Uesugi Tetsu looked up, he saw a huge, matte iron bird hovering outside the window in the sky.

Helicopter!

They're armed!

The pitch-black propeller left countless afterimages in mid-air, emitting a deafening sound.

The next moment, the helicopter door was violently pulled open, and a burly man whose uniform was almost bursting out of his hand stepped out.

He shifted his gaze and quickly locked it onto Uesugi Tetsuya.

Buzz!

My phone vibrated by the bedside.

When Uesugi Tetsu took a look, he was stunned.

Because such a message popped up above.

[Urgent! This is the vehicle here to pick up Operator Uesugi Tetsuya to support Shizuoka Prefecture. Please get on as soon as possible.]

He looked up at the hovering helicopter again, and his lips twitched violently.

So you're just using me as a drop-in, aren't you?

But Uesugi Tetsuya didn't waste any time.

He flung open the window and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Xiao Jia, let's go!"

Kaga Kiyomitsu, sheathed in his sword, immediately trailed a winding stream of light and landed steadily in his palm.

Uesugi Tetsu leaped into the air and landed perfectly beside the burly man in the helicopter, much to the man's astonishment.

He raised his chin.

"Let's go."

The helicopter then rapidly ascended under terrifying gravitational acceleration, speeding towards Shizuoka Prefecture.

……

After one hour.

Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

Above Jundong County Tunnel.

Uesugi Tetsu felt his phone vibrate again.

Upon closer inspection, it was a distress message from Yagyu Akira, an agent from Shizuoka Prefecture whom he had just added yesterday—otherwise, he wouldn't have been picked up by helicopter so suddenly.

However, the person on the other end of the phone is probably not the real person.

Because the tone of voice is completely different.

Uesugi Tetsuya didn't reply with the fifth "Almost there," but instead tossed his phone back into his storage bag.

He heard the man in uniform shout anxiously, "Lord Uesugi! The ground below is about to give way! Where should we hover and lower you down?"

"arrive?"

Uesugi Tetsu looked down and saw the thick, palpable resentment and demonic aura emanating from the mountain forest.

—Among them, there must be quite a few of the big eyeballs that Nanjo had mentioned to him before.

—Now, the food supply for Hyakume-ki, who's already plump and healthy in the gacha pool, is secured!

He patted the experienced Special Affairs officer on the shoulder and gave him a bright smile.

"Then let them look up."

Chapter 211 A Hundred Ghosts in the Tunnel, Sweeped Away by One Man! The Powerful Effect of the "Lin" Technique! Controlling the Sword with Qi, Unrivaled Mowing Down of Grass!

Three minutes ago, Jundong County Tunnel.

In the secluded and deep mountain forest, in an instant, a huge amount of powerful demonic energy rushed out from this dark tunnel that had been abandoned for who knows how many years.

Resentment, hatred, unwillingness...

However, in the blink of an eye, the tunnel entrance, which had almost been cleared out by the special affairs officers, was filled again with those vengeful spirits and undead.

The quantity is greater than ever before.

"How much longer until Uesugi-kun arrives!"

He said, "I'll be there soon!"

After responding and responding, Yagyu Akira, whose consciousness was so blurred that he could barely stand, gripped the trembling katana in his hand and raised it again.

Some of the Special Affairs Department agents around them had fallen into a coma due to the complex mental attacks, some had already exhausted all their spiritual power, and some had even lost too much blood and were on the verge of death.

Embarrassed.

Only two or three operators still retain a minimum level of combat capability.

They had been battling for far too long in front of this tunnel, which should have been cleared in half an hour.

No one anticipated that such a simple task, which involved overwhelming numbers of people, would suddenly undergo such a drastic change.

"Thanks to Tamamo's foresight..."

The dojo successor of the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu Shizuoka Prefecture branch glanced sideways and saw the girl standing in the absolutely safe rear, protected even now by several barriers.

"Calling the mercenaries over sooner will just give us more security and manpower, and someone will reimburse us anyway!"

——That’s what she said.

The petite girl known as "Tamamo" was wearing a yellow safety helmet like those worn by elementary school students. She paced back and forth within the barrier, looking somewhat uneasy.

She was holding her phone tightly, not telling Yagyu Chi that this was the fourth time Uesugi Tetsu had replied "I'll be there soon"!

Before that, the earliest "I'll be there soon" message could be traced back to twenty minutes earlier!

At that time, the anomaly in the tunnel had only just begun.

Tamamo gazed at the chaotic situation before her and the endless stream of resentment emanating from the tunnel.

She cupped her hands around a megaphone and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Yagyu! Retreat! We really can't hold on any longer!"

"If you die now, you'll have nothing left!"

"—If we retreat now, all these demons and monsters will come out!"

Yagyu Akira retorted hoarsely, "What about the citizens of Numazu City?!"

He took a deep breath, straining so hard that blood spurted from the tiny wounds on his body, and then roared.

"Hold on! Even if it means death! Hold on until Uesugi-kun arrives!"

Having said that, he took the lead and charged towards those mindless, extremely weak souls that had surged out in hundreds or thousands along with the earlier disturbance.

The intense energy erupted, melting away the hordes of dead souls like sunlight melting snowflakes.

But it’s a drop in the bucket.

Another seriously wounded operator was dragged into the barrier. Tamamo, who was skillfully bandaging him, cursed loudly in a Kansai accent.

"Damn it, that stubborn Yagyu..."

At this rate, we'll all be turned into live stakes and driven into the tunnels, and eighteen years later, it'll be our turn to be killed!

After quickly bandaging the wound, Tamamo took out a small scroll containing a healing Yin-Yang technique from her backpack and tore it open on the operator who was breathing heavily.

In the emerald green light, Tamamo stared resentfully at her phone, which remained silent.

With nothing else to do, Tamamo, being an ordinary person, could only grip her specially made phone, preparing to reply to any message as quickly as possible.

"Damn it, are we going to pin all our hopes for survival on a foreign aid? ...The other side isn't some kind of god."

"It's just a three-star player, about the same level as you. Don't just blindly trust them like that..."

At this moment, the spiritual power of one of the two remaining Onmyoji in front of them was finally exhausted.

The surging wall of fire vanished suddenly, allowing the souls of the dead in that area to surge forward like waves, jostling each other and using their hands and feet to rush over.

In an instant, the already precarious defense line collapsed completely, engulfing Yagyu Chi, who was at the forefront.

Tamamo was extremely anxious.

But if she rushed up, she would definitely be torn to shreds in just two seconds!

Forget about becoming a live stake, it doesn't even qualify to be used as a side dish!

She could only watch helplessly as the tide of the dead surged... no, it was far more than just the dead.

After that, the "black handprint that keeps getting bigger and bigger" from the Numazu City ghost stories, the "ghost that turned into a traffic light", and the distorted faces that appeared on the concrete ground all came out in droves!

Unable to even release a fireball, Tamamo could only watch helplessly as her colleagues outside the barrier were devoured by the demons.

She asked Uesugi Tetsuya again when he would arrive.

But this time there was no reply.

Tamamo hung her head dejectedly, opening her mouth in despair: "What, you're not even giving me a sliver of hope...?"

She looked up and silently gazed at the demons who had already surrounded the barrier layer by layer, and who could tear her and her colleagues inside the barrier to shreds in a few dozen seconds.

"Damn it, so what if he's dead... whatever..."

Tamamo gritted her teeth and pulled a small black ball with a skull printed on it from her backpack: "I'm going to blow you up!"

But then, her phone suddenly vibrated.

Her professional skills, honed over time, made Tamamo instinctively look at her phone, where she happened to see that unfamiliar message.

Look up

So she raised her head.
