Shirou looked at the shrine maiden who was spitting blood, his face filled with worry.
"Ah, it's alright. The most important thing right now is to deal with that monster. I still have a talisman my teacher left me. This talisman once sealed the resentment of a great demon. It can enhance a person's physical abilities, but if the talisman isn't removed in time, the user will be corrupted by the resentment and turn into a monster that only knows how to kill. Originally, my teacher intended for me to use it on my shikigami in a critical moment. But now, Crow, this talisman is yours. Be careful!"
The shrine maiden Saori wiped the blood from her lips, carefully took out a black talisman from her bosom, and handed it to Crow.
Crow nodded and took the black talisman with both hands.
"how to use?"
"For shikigami, you can just stick it on directly. But since you're a living person, you'll need to use your blood as a catalyst. Just drip a few drops of your blood on it and then stick it on your body. Oh, by the way, take this bracelet. It can keep your heart from being corrupted by resentment for a short period of time."
As Saori spoke, she took off the bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Crow.
He took the bracelet, still warm from the girl's body, and put it on his wrist without changing his expression.
"Thanks."
"We're classmates, there's no need to thank me."
"Hey, are you guys done yet? I can't hold on much longer."
At this moment, Yongdou was drenched in sweat and his face was pale.
"Alright, Yongdou, you did a good job. Now leave the rest to me."
The paladin stood in front of the warrior, his face resolute as he planted his sword vertically in the ground, knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and placed his fists in front of his chest in a prayerful gesture.
"Lord, I call upon your heavenly name."
"In the name of justice, I will carry out divine punishment on behalf of this person."
A pair of wings made of golden holy light appeared behind the paladin.
That was light.
That is good.
That is hope.
That is also justice.
His sword, once enveloped in holy light, had become a greatsword composed entirely of light.
His clothes became armor forged from light.
Meanwhile, the crow cut its own finger, letting its blood soak into the black talisman, before sticking it to its chest.
The black patterns on the talisman seemed to come alive, twisting and crawling, spreading from his chest all the way down his body.
"Ugh!"
The crow couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
The monster's resentment brutally and ruthlessly strengthened his body from the outside in, from skin to muscle, from muscle to blood, and from blood to bones.
Wisps of black mist continuously emanated from those patterns.
And along with that came a deep, bone-chilling pain.
It was, after all, the resentment of a great demon, so it was naturally not something simple.
Saori's teacher gave her this talisman with the intention of using that shikigami as a disposable item.
Whether used to kill enemies or cover the rear, this talisman will drive the shikigami completely mad, and the resentment within the talisman will dissipate as the shikigami collapses.
This kind of warrior shikigami is a ruthless killer, and this talisman is the perfect match for it.
But everyone has their own secrets, right?
Crows are not pure human beings.
He is of mixed race.
A hybrid of a monster and a human
That is, the legendary protagonist's bloodline—a half-demon!
The crow's father was a crow tengu.
The source of the resentment of the great demon sealed within this talisman is a tengu of great demon level.
However, nobody knows.
The source of this talisman is the father of the crow.
Resentment only arises when a great demon harbors hatred before his death.
As for how to make a great demon harbor resentment, and even make that resentment linger?
That's a matter of opinion.
Yes, that's right.
The disciple of the man who killed Crow's father is Saori.
And none of them knew about it.
Resentment seeped deep into his heart.
Even if the bracelet worked, the crow could still sense it.
The resentment within is immense and insane.
But for some reason, feeling this resentment, his heart was filled with sorrow and anger.
There's also a touch of warmth.
why is that?
Before he could even think it through, the bloodline of the great demon within him was stimulated by this resentment and began to boil.
Ominous black wings appeared behind him.
Unlike human pupils, and claws that have become unusually sharp.
In conjunction with the patterns that emitted black mist
This is a posture that no human being could possibly possess.
This is a demon.
"This talisman can turn humans into monsters? No wonder it's a powerful monster. Crow, you must hold on! Don't let the resentment consume you!"
Gazing at the crow that continuously emitted a dark aura, Saori felt a deep sense of worry.
However, the scene was very strange.
One gold and one black
A pair of golden wings, a pair of black wings.
He radiated a holy light, like a knight of angels.
And a monster emanating an ominous black mist, filled with hatred.
Their opponent was merely a human being oppressed by gravity.
What an irony.
"Hey, this guy's more of a monster than me. But whatever, that's what makes it more interesting!"
"At least it's a new species that I've never eaten before! I just wonder what it tastes like? Hahahaha!!"
Even when pressed down by gravity, Chang Yan still had the leisure to laugh and mock them.
"Five seconds left, it's all up to you guys! I really can't take it anymore!"
"4"
"3"
"0!"
This is the sound of common sayings.
Just as Yongdou shouted "three," Changyan helped him by shouting "zero."
Because he has already come out.
The evil spirits have been unleashed.
Chapter 43 Only the three of you weaklings are left.
After escaping the gravitational field, Chang Yan immediately transformed into a blur and darted towards Yong Dou.
This superpower is disgusting; we need to deal with it first.
"Don't even think about it! A just trial is in order!"
With his enhanced reflexes and eyesight, the paladin saw through Chang Yan's intentions and quickly stepped in front of him.
The lightsaber in his hand shone brightly, and the intense light formed a huge cross-shaped lightsaber, which he forcefully swung towards Chang Yan.
The light roared, and the knight howled.
At this moment, Ya regained some of his senses and moved like a ghost behind Chang Yan, stabbing the dark dagger in his hand fiercely towards Chang Yan's back.
"Weakling! Weakling! Haven't you realized, knight, that your sword can't hurt me!"
He shouted these words menacingly, and the watermelon rind in his hand once again blocked his lightsaber.
(The watermelon rind, once again, proved its worth)
He tilted his body slightly and grabbed the crow's knife-wielding arm with his other hand.
Goodbye, monster.
If they really get caught, the consequences will be dire.
This was a hint given to him by his intuition, a kind of supernatural being.
A sense of crisis lingered in his mind, and the hairs on his skin stood on end.
Recalling the fate of the man before him, Ya immediately changed the direction of the dagger, slashing straight at Chang Yan's hand.
"You think I'm not on guard? You villain! Take my holy light bullet!"
The paladin held his sword and the watermelon rind in a stalemate with one hand, while a radiant light burst forth from his other hand, and a ball of light hurtled toward Chang Yan.
Then, at the moment he encountered Chang Yan, he abruptly disappeared.
???
Where's my Holy Light Orb? It's so big! It was just here a moment ago, where did it go?
Just as the paladin was filled with doubt, Chang Yan suddenly turned around and gave him a smile.
"I am so grateful!"
A tremendous force came from the watermelon rind, propelling his body.
"How did this power increase so much!"
"Of course it's because of you, knight."
A faint voice came from behind him.
Behind the paladin came Chang Yan's voice, which stirred up a storm in his heart.
When?! How could it be so fast?! Because what am I...?
"Puha"
Before he could finish his thought, a sharp pain shot through his heart, and he was forced to vomit a mouthful of blood.
Chang Yan's hand passed through his chest and then withdrew.
In his hand, he was holding a red object.
It is a heart.
"It turns out that taking out a heart is a technical job. I had to break your ribs to take out your heart. I'm really sorry to have made you feel pain."
Although he said he was sorry, Chang Yan still maintained that crazy smile on his face.
