The Sword Deity in Tokyo

Chapter 294: I Hate It The Most When People Threaten Me

Otome Sakagami was surprised upon seeing that. What astounded her was the fact that even though Sakanoue no Tamuramaro had become a shikigami, his strength was so much greater than when he was a general.

It could even be said that the two strengths were incomparable. After all, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro was just an ordinary person when he was still alive. Since he started cultivating after his death, his strengths could no longer be compared to before.

However, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro’s death after just one round was unexpected to her. This caused her face to tense up. It seemed like she had to obtain Kimura Kazuki’s blood or else she would not be able to cross over that night.

Even though Otome Sakagami was able to control living creatures’ blood, there was a drawback for her ability. She still had to have a taste of the blood of the person whom she wanted to control. She had to do so if she were to want to take control of that person without complications.

However, her expression changed drastically the next moment. “How is this possible?” She suddenly noticed that she could no longer control Sakanoue no Tamuramaro!

She had the ability of getting resurrected again and again. Hence, as her puppet, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro would naturally obtain the same ability to resurrect from death. It was just that he was enormous so a large amount of energy would be needed for him to be resurrected. With her current strength, she could only revive him 40 to 50 times.

Forty to fifty times should be enough for me to obtain Kimura Kazuki’s blood... I don’t need much, one small thread of his blood will be enough.

However, she could not use her abilities at the moment.

Upon seeing the situation, Kimura Kazuki could not help but smile. “It seems like your controlling ability is not all that special.”

He had thrown in a piece of Isolating Talisman drawn from red reiki when he was cutting off Sakanoue no Tamuramaro’s head with his sword to stop him from resurrecting.

Ever since he improved his strength, Kimura Kazuki knew that he could use his strength to resolve any complications should he ever come across one. However, there were still certain matters that could not be solved using only strength. Enchanted Talismans were useful as they had various functions that could be used in certain situations. Therefore, he had been drawing Talismans persistently before going to bed every night. He made different types of Talismans and one or two for each type. The Isolating Talisman was only one of them.

There were too many people who possessed the ability to control clones or puppets in the era of recuperation of reiki and an Isolating Talisman was exactly the Enchanted Talisman created to deal with this kind of Cultivator. Plus, strength was not always considered as unique in this world since different countries had different cultivation systems.

In fact, the cultivating immortals in Huaxia, Onmyojis in Japan, magicians in England, and etc. were all using reiki.

Different cultivation systems would also result in different abilities. As for which was stronger, it went without saying that the spellcasting powers would increase each time levels were raised. However, some abilities were odd and it would be impossible to defend against them.

As for Otome Sakagami, Kimura Kazuki had zero clue about her abilities. So, he had to be very cautious in this matter. It was not his intention to abandon those people from Sakagami Village. However, he noticed how relaxed Otome Sakagami was and she did not seem to be acting to be calm. Hence, he concluded that she must have a few tricks up her sleeves.

After seeing the change in Otome Sakagami’s expression, he had an inkling that Sakanoue no Tamuramaro was her trump card.

That should be it... If he were to not use the Isolating Talisman, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro could get resurrected again and again and this could pose great danger to him. If Sakanoue no Tamuramaro were to drain his physical strength and reiki by resurrecting again and again, he would undoubtedly fail in the end. If he were to not kill Otome Sakagami in a short period of time and kept delaying it, it would be a certain loss for him. He could finally see how the Enchanted Talisman works.

“What kind of ability is this?” Otome Sakagami was full of anger at that moment and fury could be seen on her face. She wanted to calm down but ever since the day she obtained consciousness, she had been caught and forced to sign a contract to serve for her whole lifetime. She arrived at Sakanoue no Tamuramaro’s hands in the end, only to have research done on her day and night.

People who did research on her never treated her as a living creature with a mind of her own and she was then sealed for more than 1,000 years. Even when the seal was broken and she managed to escape, her thinking was still relatively simple.

On the basis of her realistic mental age, Otome Sakagami was just like a 17 or 18-year-old girl. This was the reason why she picked the current body and possessed it.

Kimura Kazuki did not give any response to her. Otome Sakagami did not realize what he had done with the Enchanted Talisman, though Sei Shigeru and the others saw it clearly at the back.

Asuka’s eyes sparkled when he saw the Enchanted Talisman flickering with fluorescent lights and transformed into a transparent screen before enveloping Sakanoue no Tamuramaro’s whole body, trapping him inside.

He did not have anything against cultivating, but he could no longer set his heart on cultivating after knowing that his sister had better practitioner’s potential than him. Instead, his interest in Enchanted Talismans grew even more than before.

He realized that someone powerful could be instantly defeated as long as the Enchanted Talisman used was powerful too.

If one were to succeed in making an Enchanted Talisman, he would only need internal reiki, money, and hands to feel the thrill of killing someone strong.

This thrilling feeling could be described as euphoria.

Asuka’s biggest wish was to develop powerful Enchanted Talismans so that the Onmyojis from the inner circle would worship him. It was a pity that he had not done so up until now. Even his Paper Crane Talisman was just a semi-finished product. The Isolating Talisman owned by Kimura Kazuki was something that he had never seen before.

Aside from Asuka, even Sei Shigeru who had been alive for so many years had never seen the Isolating Talisman too. It is scary to know that someone can make a master lose control over his puppets... Also, if given further thought, wouldn’t it be possible for this Enchanted Talisman to cause an Onmyoji to lose control over his shikigami? Having this thought in mind, Sei Shigeru had a sense of apprehension all of a sudden.

Kimura Kazuki would probably break into laughter if he knew what Sei Shigeru was thinking because the Isolating Talisman was actually invented by the Japanese with the intention of using it against Onmyojis who owned shikigamis with the purpose of making them lose control over their puppets.

However, Isolating Talisman did have one drawback. It could never isolate shikigamis with consanguinity abilities like Furuhashi Sakurakyu and it could only have a slight effect on them though a higher quality Isolating Talisman would have greater effect on the shikigami.

Otome Sakagami was frantic with worry when she received no response from Kimura Kazuki but she managed to calm herself down afterward. Looking at the people around her, she let out a laugh suddenly. She said coquettishly, “Kimura-kun, can you please stop moving...? My hands might move on their own and kill those from Sakagami Village by accident.”

The Sun and Moon Sword formed into a blue light right after Otome Sakagami finished and her head was sliced off once again.

Everyone was stunned from the scene.

“I hate it the most when people threaten me,” Kimura Kazuki sneered. “One more thing... Since the Jade of Four Souls can seal you, it can be used to kill you too, right?”
