Chapter 112

Why wasn't the Shikon Jewel contaminated?

Just as she is lost in thought, a crisp voice suddenly comes from behind.

"Wait!"

"Wait for me!!"

Higurashi Kagome runs over, panting.

"Who is this..."

Seeing Higurashi Kagome, Kikyo freezes slightly.

"Hmm... my reserve priestess?"

Lynn thinks for a moment and gives the answer.

"Priestess..."

Kikyo lowers her head and murmurs.

So...

The devil lord wasn't joking just now?

Convert to a devil, huh...

…………

Kaede Village.

A simple thatched cottage.

Kikyo, Lynn, and Higurashi Kagome sit on the floor.

"Guest, tea."

A little girl nervously serves Lynn and Higurashi Kagome a cup of hot tea.

Hmm...

It’s called tea, but it’s actually just some petals and leaves.

Higurashi Kagome smiles reluctantly.

Until now, she still can't figure out the situation.

So...

What on earth is going on in this place!

Has she come to ancient times?

Kikyo's expression is calm, "Sorry, the hospitality is poor."

She stares at the Shikon Jewel being played with casually in Lynn's hand, feeling extremely nervous.

Lynn hooks the corners of his mouth and deliberately tosses the Shikon Jewel upward.

Kikyo's breathing stops abruptly, her chin lifts slightly, and her eyes follow the Shikon Jewel straight.

Fearing that something might happen to it.

Seeing her playful appearance, Lynn chuckles.

Kikyo freezes slightly, then tries her best to restrain her gaze, returning to her cold appearance.

"Lord Lynn, the Shikon Jewel is a very dangerous existence."

Kikyo's little face becomes serious, and then she explains the danger of the Shikon Jewel.

Higurashi Kagome sits upright, her face also becoming serious, her little head nodding bit by bit.

Seeing this, Lynn directly interrupts Kikyo, "How have you considered my previous proposal?"

Kikyo freezes for a moment.

"Convert to a devil?"

Lynn nods and smiles: "How about it, do you want to be my priestess?"

"Eh? Prie, priestess?"

Kikyo hasn't reacted yet, but Higurashi Kagome exclaims.

If it’s a priestess, isn't that for serving the gods?

Lynn means...

Let Kikyo serve him?

Hiss—

Not knowing what kind of scene she thought of, Higurashi Kagome's face turns red instantly.

Lynn says gloomily: "You too."

Higurashi Kagome: "?"

She stiffly turns her neck, looks at Lynn, and says incredibly: "Priestess, me?"

Lynn nods, smiling like a smile: "Don't forget, your reward."

Higurashi Kagome's mouth twitches, "I didn't say the reward was to be your priestess..."

"You can also choose not to pay the reward."

Hearing this, Higurashi Kagome's eyes light up, but she sees Lynn suddenly say in a gloomy tone: "It's just that I can't guarantee what will happen~"

Higurashi Kagome's body stiffens, and then she decisively kneels down and says: "Sorry, I will definitely become a qualified priestess!"

Having seen Lynn's strength, she decisively gives in in seconds.

Besides.

If she becomes Lynn's priestess, she will also get protection, right?

Having seen monsters, she has always had a faint feeling of unease in her heart.

Becoming Lynn's priestess...

Doesn't it seem bad?

At least...

Lynn's powerful strength gives her stability.

On the other side.

Seeing Higurashi Kagome being so sensible, Lynn nods approvingly and then looks at Kikyo.

Kikyo purses her lips and bows her head: "Sorry."

Although Lynn saved Kaede Village, asking her to convert to a devil is still too difficult.

"Kikyo, you don't want Kaede Village to be destroyed, do you?"

Lynn's gloomy voice enters her eardrums, making her heart tighten.

What, does he mean?

Kikyo is nervous.

If this powerful man really wants to destroy Kaede Village, she can't stop him at all.

Suddenly, a patter sound.

The crisp sound of the Shikon Jewel rings out.

Kikyo sees Lynn casually throw the Shikon Jewel on the table, and her eyelids twitch violently.

"Shikon Jewel, if you don't solve this problem..."

"Kaede Village will be finished sooner or later, right?"

Hearing this, Kikyo is surprised, but also sighs in relief.

So that’s it...

Her eyes are firm, "I will take the Shikon Jewel and leave Kaede Village."

"Oh? And then?"

"And then?"

Kikyo freezes for a moment, not understanding Lynn's meaning.

"If you take the Shikon Jewel, won't it attract monsters wherever you go?"

Lynn pretends to be thoughtful and says: "Perhaps, in the future, I can call you the walking disaster priestess?"

Walking disaster priestess?

Kikyo's heart tightens.

Does it mean that wherever she goes, she will bring disaster?

If she takes the Shikon Jewel, it seems this will indeed happen...

"And..."

Lynn says in a deep voice: "Can you keep guarding it forever?"

"As a human, you also have limits, right?"

"You also have things you can't do, right?"

Kikyo is silent.

Thinking of the crisis in Kaede Village today.

She herself can take the Shikon Jewel and retreat unscathed.

But...

Without Lynn's intervention, the villagers of Kaede Village...

In this way.

It doesn't seem strange that everyone in Kaede Village calls Lord Lynn a god.

Besides...

When she prayed to the gods.

The gods, as always, did not appear.

The one who responded to her was a devil...

Perhaps just as the devil lord said.

The gods of Nihon are already dead...

Since that is the case, if she converts to a devil, the gods won't blame her, right?

Besides...

Who says a devil can't be a god?

"If I become your priestess, can I solve the problem of the Shikon Jewel?".

"If I become your priestess, can I solve the problem of the Shikon Jewel?"

Kikyo, who said this, has already broken her own bottom line.

Gods who cannot give people help are already useless.

Kikyo thinks so.

Lynn smiles.

As soon as this sentence came out, he knew it was stable.

Lynn picks up the Shikon Jewel again, hooking Kikyo's gaze once more.

The uncontaminated Shikon Jewel is also one of the reasons why Kikyo is willing to trust Lynn.

"Whether it can be solved, you will witness it with your own eyes."

Lynn's words make Kikyo freeze.

Then she sees Lynn's hand glowing with eerie light, reaching into the... inside of the Shikon Jewel?

The ability of [Spirit-Medium Devil] allowed Lynn to discover its abnormality the moment he got the Shikon Jewel.

Inside, there are human souls and a huge number of monster resentful spirits.

For [Spirit-Medium Devil], it is simply a professional match.

His glowing hand stirs inside the Shikon Jewel, and then Lynn's hand touches a soft place.

Lynn's expression moves; he grabs that soft mass and pulls it back.

Poof—

Soon, a spherical body crawls out of the Shikon Jewel.

Higurashi Kagome freezes for a moment, then looks down, her expression subtle.

Kikyo's eyes are also indescribable.

What is in Lynn's hand...

Why is it so like...

Lynn pauses, then exerts force.

"Ugh..."

A sound of pain rings out from the Shikon Jewel.

Following Lynn's movement, a woman wearing a priestess outfit instantly appears in the thatched cottage.

"Eh?"

Pulled out of the Shikon Jewel, Midoriko blinks her eyes, her brain dazed.

"Lady, Lady Midoriko?"

Kikyo can't sit still.

Actually seeing a living idol?!

Kikyo's voice makes Midoriko wake up.

She strangely examines the surrounding environment, then looks down, raises a gentle smile at Lynn, and asks:

"This lord, although I am very grateful to you for rescuing me from the Shikon Jewel, but..."

Midoriko looks at the large hand on her sponge mass and says uncomfortably: "Can you... please let go of my..."

Lynn shrugs, "Sorry, it’s just easier to grab."

Midoriko purses her lips, says nothing, then looks at the Shikon Jewel, her tone complex: "After I left, the Shikon Jewel is indeed unstable..."

She sees the Shikon Jewel trembling crazily, and evil aura begins to spread.

Seeing this, Midoriko sighs.

It seems she is destined to fight the monsters in the Shikon Jewel eternally...

Just as she is about to continue drilling into the Shikon Jewel, Lynn grabs her arm.

"Since I rescued you, you are my person."

Midoriko freezes for a moment, then worries: "But..."

Before she can finish her words, she sees Lynn's hand stirring inside the Shikon Jewel again.

A deformed monster consciousness body is slowly pulled out.

"Wait!"

Midoriko exclaims, stopping him: "If you let them out, it will endanger the whole world!"

"Endanger the world?"

Lynn chuckles, "You overestimate them; at most, they will only affect Nihon..."

Of course, it’s just a little bit of influence...

"This, this is already very dangerous, right?"

Higurashi Kagome trembles.

Even Kikyo becomes nervous.

The aura of this group of monsters is very strong!

Lady Midoriko has actually been fighting such an existence all along...

If it were her, she definitely wouldn't be able to hold on, right?

"Hahaha!! Midoriko!! Do you want to escape, Midoriko!!!"

The monster consciousness body just pops its head out and starts yelling at Midoriko.

"You are afraid! You are finally afraid!!"

"Haha!! Continue fighting!! Fight!!"

Various sounds are emitted at the same time, making Higurashi Kagome's eardrums vibrate slightly.

Lynn stares at them, his eyes lighting up.

This...

It’s a perfect tonic!

"Spirit Devour!"

With a hum.

The clamoring monster consciousness body suddenly twists.
