[Miko: Sorry, sorry, something suddenly came up, and I forgot about you.]
[Hua: Hmph! Miko, bad!]
[Miko: I'll treat you to daifuku tomorrow, forgive me!]
[Hua: Two!]
[Miko: No problem!!]
After apologizing to Hua on Line, Yotsuya Miko finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"This spot will do."
Lynn stopped in front of an empty alley.
Hearing this, Yotsuya Miko put her phone into her shoulder bag.
Now that the night was dark and windy, it was a good time to kill evil spirits!
Lynn scanned his surroundings, picking the weakest Curse Spirit for Yotsuya Miko to practice on.
"That one," Lynn said, pointing to his right.
Yotsuya Miko followed his gaze.
Hmm, it was a greasy Evil Spirit with a big belly.
Yotsuya Miko took a deep breath, then walked with determined steps towards the greasy Evil Spirit.
Although she had mentally prepared herself, Yotsuya Miko still became inevitably nervous as she got closer, her breathing unconsciously shallowing, and her scalp tingling.
For her, Evil Spirits had once been a nightmarish existence.
Overcoming that fear was not easy.
All sorts of emotions flashed through Yotsuya Miko's mind.
Ultimately, she stood before the greasy Evil Spirit.
"Can you see me?"
"Can you see me?"
Let's end this!
Evil Spirit!
Yotsuya Miko's gaze was firm as she met the greasy Evil Spirit's eyes.
The greasy Evil Spirit paused for a moment, then reacted, its face visibly excited.
"You can see me! You can see me!!"
"That's right, I can see you!"
Ah~ I've wanted to say that for so long~
Yotsuya Miko instantly felt a sense of relief.
The greasy Evil Spirit was clearly stunned again.
It had never encountered such a brave human before.
But it didn't think much of it, immediately baring its fangs and claws, roaring, "I'll eat you! I'll eat you!!"
"Eat me? How about you eat my satchel instead!"
Yotsuya Miko didn't want to dirty her hands.
With a forceful swing, she directly threw her satchel, imbued with magic, at it.
Ch—
The moment the greasy Evil Spirit touched the satchel, it was as if it had encountered a natural predator, only managing a single shriek before instantly vanishing from its spot.
Yotsuya Miko paused, then subconsciously said, "That was easy."
Special attack against spiritual entities.
In just an instant, the Evil Spirit was completely annihilated.
She didn't even use much magic.
She looked at her satchel and muttered, "Evil Spirits, are they really that weak?"
"This one was just particularly weak, that's all."
Lynn reminded her, "There are also ranks among Curse Spirits; this one is clearly just the lowest-level Curse Spirit."
"Is that so?"
Yotsuya Miko scratched her cheek, reining in her inflated ego.
"Of course, with your current strength, dealing with most Curse Spirits won't be a problem."
Lynn didn't discourage her, continuing, "Next, let's try the other abilities of the Psychic Demon."
"Yes, Lynn!"
Forced control of spiritual entities.
Yotsuya Miko composed herself and began to release her magic.
Soon, a nearby Evil Spirit's eyes became dull, and Yotsuya Miko successfully gained control over it.
"It worked!"
Yotsuya Miko was delighted, then controlled it to attack another Evil Spirit.
"Roar!!"
The two Evil Spirits immediately began to tear at each other.
Seeing this, Yotsuya Miko controlled a few more Evil Spirits, sending them to swarm the attacked Evil Spirit.
That Evil Spirit was instantly dumbfounded.
Under the righteous gang-up, that Evil Spirit successfully ascended to heaven.
Yotsuya Miko panted slightly and said, "With my current strength, I can only control ten Evil Spirits at once."
Inferior Demon.
Lynn silently added the words "Inferior" in his mind.
"Very good, that's already quite impressive."
Lynn clapped his hands, offering encouragement.
Miko could only control ten Inferior Demons at once, but he, as an Upper-Level Demon, could do much more.
After letting Miko rest for a bit, they continued to test another ability of the Psychic Demon.
Yotsuya Miko controlled ten Evil Spirits to gather, then her eyes flickered slightly, and her lips parted.
"Swallowing Spirits!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"
The moment Yotsuya Miko's words fell, the bodies of the ten Evil Spirits immediately twisted, letting out terrifying roars.
Their center seemed to have a black hole, twisting and compressing them until they became a crystal-clear purple bead.
Yotsuya Miko picked one up.
Soon, the purple bead, like something weathered, scattered like sand in the wind.
Yotsuya Miko blinked, carefully contemplating for a moment, then uncertainly said, "It seems… no change?"
After absorbing the remaining nine beads one by one, Yotsuya Miko stated, "I still don't feel anything."
Lynn looked at the situation, deep in thought.
"That's enough for today."
As his words fell, a Magic Cube Teleportation magic circle flashed beneath Lynn's feet, instantly enveloping Yotsuya Miko and Utaha.
"Eh?"
Yotsuya Miko only had time to let out a surprised cry; in the next instant, the three disappeared from the alley.
At the same time.
Lynn's home.
A purple light flashed.
Lynn and the other two instantly appeared in the living room.
Yotsuya Miko's eyes immediately widened, "How… how amazing!"
In a flash, they arrived at an unfamiliar place!
Utaha, however, was not surprised, having been to Komao Town before, she was considered a well-traveled demon.
She even gave Yotsuya Miko a quick Popular Science (scientific explanation/popular science lesson).
But Yotsuya Miko's attention was elsewhere.
"So, this is Lynn's residence?"
Yotsuya Miko looked around curiously.
Utaha: "..."
She had said a lot about teleportation magic and such, but you only remembered that this was Lynn's house?
Lynn brought Yotsuya Miko back, clearly not for her to tour his room.
"Miko, take off your clothes."
Again?
Yotsuya Miko was surprised, but her body skillfully began to undress.
After all, she had some experience now.
Utaha guessed, "Grace update…?"
He dripped blood onto Yotsuya Miko's back.
The Grace manifested.
Yotsuya Miko
Inferior Demon
Race: Demon
Master: Lynn Valefor
Strength: i0 → i1
Agility: i0 → i2
Endurance: i0 → i1
Magic: i0 → i9
Inherent Skills:
[Yin-Yang Eyes] (Omitted)
[Psychic Demon] (Omitted)
"As expected…"
Her ability values increased by 13 points.
Of which, 10 points should be the result of Swallowing Spirits.
And even strength and other ability values had increased.
Random experience pill?
Lynn's expression was strange.
Is this ability a bit overpowered?
If he caught a high-level Curse Spirit and fed it to Miko, wouldn't she be able to ascend directly on the spot?
It shouldn't be that simple.
There's probably some kind of limit.
Lynn pondered.
Still needs testing.
He copied the data, and after Yotsuya Miko put her clothes back on, she examined it.
"The data is increasing so fast!"
Yotsuya Miko was a little surprised, "And even my strength and other stats have increased."
"But I don't feel like I used much strength?"
She moved her arms up and down in confusion.
Could it be from the moment she flung her shoulder bag?
"It should be 'Swallowing Spirits'."
Utaha also saw Yotsuya Miko's data.
After all, Yotsuya Miko wasn't hiding it from her.
Being intelligent, she immediately saw the essence of Yotsuya Miko's ability growth.
And came to the same conclusion as Lynn.
Random Experience Pill!
"What an enviable ability…"
Utaha mumbled softly.
To increase her ability values other than magic power, she needed to throw one Evil Spirit Book after another.
Yotsuya Miko, on the other hand, just needed to eat Evil Spirits.
After explaining the Swallowing Spirits ability to Yotsuya Miko, Yotsuya Miko suddenly understood, and then immediately declared that her appetite had greatly increased!
However, a phone call interrupted her appetite.
"Oh no! I forgot to tell Mom!"
