My mother's love song

Rhodes put his index and middle fingers together, drew the Yin-Yang pentagram in the air and chanted a spell.

Then, the next moment──

Above the half-ruined Oni Palace castle tower, a huge dark shadow appeared in a majestic manner, completely blocking out the moonlight and starlight in the sky.

“Eh… ah? Aaaaaah!”

Looking at "that" that suddenly appeared, Ibaraki Douji's mouth opened into an O shape.

His emotion and shock were beyond words, and Ibaraki Douji's reaction was like that of an elementary school boy who had seen a living dinosaur with his own eyes.

Shuten frowned slightly: "This is..."

"In human terms, it's a shikigami," Rhodes said disapprovingly.

The so-called Shikigami, also written as Shinto, are actually familiars used by magicians and Onmyojis who lived in ancient Japan.

Compared to animal-like familiars, shikigami are closer to the concept of demons or servants and belong to the category of spiritual beings.

In a broad sense, Musashi and Momiji, who actually rely on Rod's magic to appear, can also be counted as his shikigami.

Shuten said, "I have never heard of a shikigami of this size.

Besides, could this guy be..."

Rhode said, "Hmm... maybe it's because this is actually my first time to officially summon a shikigami?

I only learned the shikigami technique from a witch friend not long ago, maybe it's because I'm not proficient enough?"

Listening to the young man's Versailles speech, Shuten-doji stared at the giant shadow in the sky and said speechlessly: "Master, do you know what you are talking about..."

Rhodes chuckled and said, "Okay, let's go.

Let's go meet the first guests after the reorganization of Dajiangshan Group, the Ox women. "

"Um……"

Shuten naturally hugged the boy's waist, and Ibaraki followed suit and hugged his thighs.

The three of them climbed onto the back of the jet-black shikigami.

The shikigami summoned by Rhodes was a three-legged crow with a wingspan of more than ten meters.

The huge body demonstrates the majesty of God, the black wings are darker and deeper than the night, and the sharp eyes are like swaying flames.

At the same time, the most eye-catching thing is that the mirror made of gems and black iron hanging on the chest of the giant crow shines dazzlingly in the night.

There is a creature called the Three-legged Crow, a divine bird worshipped as the incarnation of the sun in the mythology of mainland China.

After it spread to Japan, it continued to be a symbol of the sun, and later gradually evolved into a mythical beast of the messenger of Amaterasu.

“Hachi…Yata-crows!?”

Even Ibaraki Douji, who had never read a book, could not have never heard of its existence.

However, the shock she felt from the size and majesty of the divine crow before her was clearly far beyond the impression that Ibaraki Douji had of the three-legged crow in his childhood.

After the three of them boarded the Yatagarasu, it flapped its huge wings and flew forward.

The strong wind blew away the unchanging scenery rapidly.

Rhodes stood proudly on the back of the Yatagarasu, while Shuten-doji hugged his waist tightly.

As for Ibaraki, she lay on the crow's back, touching its black feathers with a look of emotion.

"It's a real divine beast... so, so powerful."

Of course it can't be the real Yatagarasu.

The Shikigami Yatagarasu commanded by Rod are just like the Servants summoned in the Holy Grail War, only a projection of the main body from the Throne of Heroes made of magic power.

But even so, not everyone is qualified to regard a mythical beast as a shikigami.

Japan has a famous saying about "eight million gods".

In Japanese, Yaoi means "a lot", for example Yaoi Bikuni means "a nun who has lived for many years".

Adding the word "wan" after eight hundred means infinity. "Eight million gods" is not a real number, but is similar to the Chinese saying "all things have spirits".

Every flower, every blade of grass, every morning dew and every fallen leaf, even the smallest things have divinity.

Having said that, divinity is divinity, and godhead is another matter entirely. There are only a very small number of noble beings in the world who can possess godhead.

As the messenger of the Queen of Takama-ga-hara, the Yatagarasu can undoubtedly be called the most noble of divine beasts.

Ordinary Onmyojis often choose to make shikigami out of things that can be found everywhere, such as flowers, plants, and small animals. High-level Onmyojis can even control the creation of gods.

But it is unheard of for someone like Rhodes to treat the divine beast... and the familiar of the God King as a shikigami.

That's why Ibaraki Douji looked so shocked.

"Boss... are you actually a very remarkable guy? You must be kidding!"

She looked up in adoration.

Ibaraki Douji clasped his hands together and knelt there as if he were a god, muttering to himself and rubbing his hands together in prayer.

"Give me more desserts, give me more sweets, give me more..."

"Haha, what a troublesome child."

Shuten-doji covered his mouth and chuckled.

Then she raised her head, looked at the boy with longing, and spoke as if asking for credit.

"I knew from the beginning that the master was extraordinary."

Chapter 700 A new mother appears again... No, this time it's a new one...

On a hill three kilometers away from Dajiang Mountain.

The two women who had attacked Oeyama before fell back to the ground, and at this moment, the Yatagarasu carrying Rhodes and Shuten Ibaraki arrived.

"what……"

One of the two women who appeared there was indeed Ugly Gozen.

The long and graceful hair seemed to blend into the night, the voluptuous figure that could not be concealed by the warrior armor, the slender and refined limbs and the upright chest that bewitched the eyes.

Compared to the beautiful and heroic Minamoto no Raikou, the ugly Gozen exudes danger and charm like poison.

On that beautiful face, the purple gemstone pupils stained red spoke of devilishness.

"Lord of Light... you are here."

Ugly Gozen looked up at the young man on the back of the Yatagarasu.

"Ugly Gozen..."

Rhodes was speechless for a moment after he whispered her name.

He was in a bit of a dilemma.

Should we persuade him to surrender at this time? Or should we listen to Ugly Gozen's explanation first?

Rhode had no reason to fight with Ugly Yuzen, nor did he want to fight with her.

She could be said to be the No. 1 person that Rhode least wanted to fight.

What can be done to resolve Ugly Gozen's misunderstanding?

If there really is a misunderstanding here.

Ugly Gozen stared at Rhodes with a beautiful and dangerous smile like a blooming flower.

"Are you disappointed in your mother, Lord of Light?

Although I was not there at the time, I knew everything even when I was asleep... You protected me and spoke well of me to Raikou yesterday, right?

You said to Raikou, "Ushi Gozen is a trustworthy demon. The demons that have been making trouble near Kyoto recently are not behind it. Don't worry, she will behave herself from now on."

I am really happy that the Lord of Light thinks this way... Although Raikou didn't say anything, she is actually very happy in her heart."

Rhodes said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, why do you..."

"Why did you betray my trust?"

...He couldn't say such words.

From the very beginning, hoping that Ugly Gozen would behave himself was an unrealistic fantasy and Rhodes's own arrogance.

Ugly Gozen is the demonic incarnation of the Bull-Headed Heavenly King.

Evil is her nature.

Words like dominate, destroy, and kill always follow her.

This situation is similar to when you buy a puppy from a pet store, and when you get home you tell it that eating meat is not good and that it is only allowed to eat carrots from now on.

Until one day you find out that the puppy ate the meat from the kitchen without telling you, and you start crying and yelling at it, "You betrayed my trust!!!"

Don't be ridiculous, you are the real betrayer.

Since you have decided to live with it, you should respect its nature.

While Rhodes was speechless, Ugly Gozen was still immersed in happy memories.

"Mr. Light actually said something like, 'I'll let Raikou and Ugly-Gozen live in peace, and one day the three of them will take a hot spring bath together...' Fufufu, Mr. Light is such a greedy bad boy."

Rhodes suddenly felt someone pinching the soft flesh on his waist.

"Hey hey...it turns out the master had said something like this to that cow girl."

Shuten-doji, who was hugging Rod, cast a piercing look at him: "Master, do you want to be rubbed all over your body with that excess fat, so that your body will be permanently smeared with the smell of cow milk?"

Please do this to me, please... Rhodes used his hand to push away Shuten-doji's cold little hand that was wandering inside his kimono.

Ugly Gozen covered her cheek with her hands, and in her devilish pupils there flowed a trance that only a girl in love would have.

Then, this passionate emotion gradually subsided.

Minamoto no Raikou lowered his arms, and his dignified face returned to its coldness.

“But…what is the Lord of Light doing now?

It really broke my heart to see him so intimately clinging to that shriveled bug.

　Did Mingming's mother [Rai Guang] tell you that the insects on Mount Oe are dangerous and you can't go near there?

The Lord of Light is a special being with a noble status [child]. You can’t get too close to that kind of pest. It will lower your own style... But why are you unwilling to listen to your mother?

Hehehe... But then again, isn't this also proof that Light-kun has grown up? Unlike Raikou, Mom actually likes the term "rebellious period"? "

Ugly Gozen showed a shy expression and her snow-white cheeks flushed.

"The more rebellious and disobedient the Lord of Light is, the more I am eager to act...

Ah, I’m so happy, so happy, so happy… the inside of my body… is getting so hot.”

Ugly Gozen opened his arms towards Rhodes who was on the back of the Yatagarasu.

"Alright, Lord of Light... Hurry and leave that pest. Come to your mother and let me hug you."

Rhodes was indifferent and spoke.

"Oeyama has joined my team."

After the young man said this, Ugly Gozen looked confused.

It's not "I joined Oeyama" but "Oeyama joined me", this statement must have confused her.

"That's right! The boss is my boss now! Watch your words, he is not your little brother, Raikou!"

Ibaraki Douji hid behind Rod and stuck his head out to shout at Ugly Gozen.

"........."

After Ugly Gozen glared at her, Ibaraki Douji immediately shrank his neck.

She smiled and said, "Oh, Lord Light has become the king of Oeyama, this is really something worth celebrating, you are indeed my proud child.

So to celebrate...how about chopping off the heads of those two shriveled pests and offering them as a sacrifice to the gods tonight?

It doesn’t matter if the Lord of Light can’t do it, Mother will do anything for you.”

"........."
