Chapter 111

Especially this time, it is particularly tricky.

These monsters seem to have discussed it, surging toward Kaede Village at the same time.

Although there are no great monsters, facing the seemingly endless monsters, the barrier probably won't last long.

Of course, even if the barrier breaks, Kikyo has the confidence to solve them.

But...

She looks at the villagers behind her and purses her thin cherry lips.

Kaede Village will inevitably be impacted.

These villagers will also...

She absolutely cannot let this happen!

This is her responsibility!

Kikyo takes a deep breath, her face firm yet carrying a trace of melancholy.

Her slender hand takes an arrow from the quiver.

Draw the bow, release the string!

Zing—

A touch of an arrow wrapped in white light carries a strong cyclone and shoots out violently!

"Sacred Arrow!"

A cold, light shout rings out.

Boom—

The Sacred Arrow accurately hits the snake demon's head!

Kikyo's eyes flash, detonating the spiritual power of the Sacred Arrow!

Bang!!

The powerful spiritual power explosion instantly clears an area.

But the monsters only freeze for a moment before quickly filling the gap.

The priestess is strong, sure.

But they have many monsters!

Be careful not to push them too hard, or they will directly use their combined skills!

The Shikon Jewel, they are determined to get it!

Even if Abe no Seimei comes, it’s useless!!

"Roar—"

Kikyo's move instead stimulates their emotions even more.

There are more and more traces on the barrier.

Kikyo can only keep shooting Sacred Arrows to relieve the pressure on the barrier!

But...

This is destined to be a futile effort.

Kikyo knows this clearly.

But...

A deep sense of powerlessness envelops her.

Although she is very strong, she does not have powerful area-of-effect attack methods.

And...

Behind the monsters, there are still very deep figures hidden.

Kikyo doesn't believe that this group of monsters would suddenly become so disciplined and organized.

What to do?

From birth until now, this is the first time Kikyo has experienced this feeling of powerlessness.

Was the decision to accept the Shikon Jewel a bit too arrogant?

Kikyo feels a faint regret in her heart.

After accepting the Shikon Jewel, she shouldn't have continued to stay in Kaede Village.

It was her who implicated the villagers.

Kikyo lowers her eyes and murmurs: "Gods..."

"If you can hear me..."

"Please respond to me..."

"Please, help Kaede Village..."

The powerful priestess reveals the fragility in her heart.

And as a priestess, the first thing she can think of is to pray to the gods.

But...

It’s useless, right?

Bitterness rises in Kikyo's heart.

From the day she became a priestess, she was accustomed to everything about being a priestess.

For example, praying to the gods.

But...

She has never heard them...

Sometimes she even doubts whether she is a qualified priestess.

Otherwise...

Why have the gods never responded to her?

This time...

It’s the same, right?

Just as Kikyo is thinking this.

The monsters outside the barrier, for some reason, suddenly stop all at once.

Whoosh—

A tiny flame suddenly ignites.

As if twinkling like stars.

The next second, the spark of fire suddenly erupts with the momentum of a prairie fire!

In an instant, the monsters, like an ocean, are instantly submerged by the spark!

A whooshing sound rings out!

The terrifying fire looks like it is igniting the night sky!

Inside the barrier, people have dull eyes, and an indescribable awe arises spontaneously!

"Is, is it a god?"

Someone murmurs.

This sentence is like waking everyone up.

"Yes, yes! It’s a god! It’s the Lord God!!"

"A miracle! It must be a miracle!!"

"The gods have cast their gaze upon us!!"

The villagers of Kaede Village are ecstatic, kneeling on the ground one after another, kowtowing toward the star fire!

The despair and haze in their hearts are swept away!

The Lord God has come, they are saved!!

"A god..."

Kikyo stares at the star fire, dazed.

Is it really a god?

Just then, a tall figure comes into Kikyo's view.

He walks with slow steps, walking out of the flames.

Behind him is a sea of fire reflecting starlight.

Lynn raises his eyes, his red pupils meeting Kikyo's gaze.

Then he grins, "The gods of Nihon are already dead."

"Priestess... "

"How about converting to a devil?".

The gods of Nihon are already dead?

Lynn's words bring a huge shock to Kikyo!

Cracks faintly appear in the beliefs in her heart.

As a priestess, Kikyo has been taught everything about the gods since she was a child.

She also believes in the gods in her heart.

But...

Today someone tells her that the gods are dead?

"Hoo..."

Kikyo exhales, calming down slightly.

Not necessarily...

Maybe he is someone who disrespects the gods.

But...

She also has a faint feeling in her heart that this man is right.

Kikyo focuses her gaze on Lynn.

A devil, huh...

This term makes Kikyo feel a bit puzzled.

Because she has lived in Musashi Province since she was a child and has never come into contact with any knowledge about devils.

She has only seen similar existences in some classics.

Although it sounds a bit bad, but...

What is a devil?

An existence similar to an evil spirit?

Thinking of this.

Kikyo's eyes become slightly more serious, and her hand holding the bow and arrow tightens.

Even if the man in front of her helped her solve the crisis in Kaede Village, but...

She absolutely cannot let her guard down!

Maybe he is also here for the Shikon Jewel!

Lynn seems not to see her defense; he raises his hand and gently knocks on the barrier, making a dong-dong sound.

Crack—

In the blink of an eye, the barrier is instantly covered with dense cracks.

Then with a bang, it turns into dots of fluorescence and dissipates into the air!

Lynn smiles at her, "Won't you invite me in for a seat?"

Kikyo: "..."

You’ve already opened the door, what else can she say?

Kikyo’s heart tightens.

The barrier that resisted so many monster attacks was actually just knocked and...

However...

Being able to instantly eliminate a group of monsters, this strength doesn't seem strange.

A great monster?

Kikyo guesses in her heart, but in reality, she doesn't neglect Lynn.

"Thank you very much for your help, my lord."

She bows her head slightly to express her gratitude, but the expression on her face remains cold.

"And then..."

Kikyo's eyes flicker, "Please tell me your purpose for coming here."

Although Lynn helped Kaede Village, doing this is a bit impolite.

But...

The existence of the Shikon Jewel makes her have to be cautious.

Especially when facing a man who calls himself a devil.

Sorry...

Kikyo expresses her apology to Lynn in her heart.

Opposite.

Lynn examines her with great interest.

It really is Kikyo...

Did the time-space positioning of the Bone-Eating Well go wrong?

The Kikyo in front of her is not only alive and well, but also very young.

However...

It doesn't matter.

In a comprehensive anime world, everything is possible.

Lynn shows her a smile he thinks is kind, then raises his hand and asks: "Are you worried about this thing?"

Kikyo freezes for a moment, and then sees a jade bead with a purple halo being held by Lynn, swaying gently.

While chatting with Kikyo, Lynn took the time to go to the shrine.

Opposite Lynn.

Kikyo's cold face instantly shows astonishment, and she murmurs softly:

"Shikon Jewel..."

When!

Kikyo's heart shrinks violently!

Her bony hand instantly grips the bow handle tightly.

Very strong!

This man is terrifyingly strong!!

The Shikon Jewel was clearly placed in the shrine by her.

But now it...

Appears in this man's hand!

The speed is so fast that Kikyo didn't even notice anything unusual!

Of course.

It could also be that he used some means to get the Shikon Jewel in advance.

But...

This doesn't hinder his strength!

No matter what, being able to get the Shikon Jewel without her noticing.

Then, this lord who calls himself a devil is definitely an existence she cannot provoke!

The smile on Lynn's face remains kind, "How about it, can you invite me in for a seat now?"

"Hoo..."

Kikyo exhales, turns slightly to the side, and bows her head: "Please."

Seeing this, Lynn smiles, and then puts away the Shikon Jewel in his hand.

Kikyo purses her lips and says nothing.

However...
