Chapter 86: Isayama Yomi, Cursed Tool: Word-Spirit Distorted Mirror

Tokyo Area.

*Pfft—*

Busujima Saeko severed a Gastrea and surveyed her surroundings.

Then, she sent a message in the group chat.

The Most Traditional Woman of the Busujima Clan: Confirmed that not a single human remains alive in the Minato Ward.

The message above it was also news about another area in Tokyo where no humans survived.

With this, Tokyo had completely fallen into a paradise for Gastrea.

Having lost the protection of the Cursed Children, the city didn't even need the Stage V Scorpio to fully enter; it was already being steamrolled by the minions the creature had summoned.

Sigma Male: Since that's the case, everyone, let's start forming parties to grind for experience.

Sigma Male: First, let's clear out a section of Tokyo.

Sigma Male: Remember to equip your Varanium weapons.

After posting the upcoming Familiars' mission in the group, Lin En, wearing pajamas, stood inside the office of the Seitenshi.

He looked through the window, observing the entirety of Tokyo.

"What a holy land for grinding experience..."

Watching the Gastrea that appeared on the streets from time to time, Lin En couldn't help but sigh.

And...

Lin En gazed into the distance.

The Stage V Scorpio was slowly advancing toward Tokyo.

According to estimates, it should take about four more days to arrive.

The Tokyo Instance BOSS!

That was the title Lin En had given it.

The goal for the Familiars next was to grind experience!

And naturally, the Familiars wouldn't let such a massive chunk of experience like the Scorpio go to waste.

What's more...

Lin En stared at his interface.

The [Gastrea Factor Catalog] was flickering slightly.

Could the completion of this skill require the Zodiac?

If so, he would have no choice but to subjugate it.

As for the Cursed Children in other regions of the Black Bullet world, Lin En had already handed them over to the 200,000 demon lolis.

Incidentally, among those 200,000 lolis, there were indeed some familiar faces.

For example, lolis like Aihara Enju.

However...

There were no special demons.

Lin En had anticipated this, so he wasn't disappointed.

In short, the army of 200,000 lower-level demons, plus the lolis who would be reincarnated as demons one after another, were more than enough to trample this world.

Lin En only needed to wait to harvest the Familiars and promote his Demon King level.

And so...

While the members of his Familia were forming parties to grind experience, Lin En returned to his loyal main world.

Meanwhile, the people of the Black Bullet world were plunged into panic due to the fall of Tokyo.

Osaka.

The high-level meeting of the Five Virtues Association was silent.

"Tokyo... did they not call for help from the outside world?"

They looked blank.

It was as if, in the blink of an eye, a city of human survival had been submerged by Gastrea.

Not even a single piece of news had leaked out.

Shiba Heavy Industries.

Shiba Miori stared blankly at the news of Tokyo's fall, her fair fingers gripping the newspaper tightly.

At the same time.

The 200,000 demon lolis were landing in various parts of the world one after another.

Shuchiin Academy.

Teacher's Guidance Office.

Nangoku Natsuki stared at Lin En, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.

"You actually know how to come back to school?"

Lin En sat in front of Nangoku Natsuki and spread his hands. "Can't help it, I've been too busy lately."

"Busy?"

Nangoku Natsuki sneered. "Busy collecting your harem?"

Thinking of those girls at Shuchiin, Nangoku Natsuki felt her anger rising.

This Lust Demon was simply corrupting the atmosphere of Shuchiin!

Lin En continued to spread his hands. "When it comes to demons, how can you call it a harem?"

"Familia! It's called a Familia!"

Nangoku Natsuki continued to sneer. "Heh, is there any difference?"

"At least it sounds more pleasant."

Nangoku Natsuki: "..."

Looking at the speechless Nangoku Natsuki, Lin En extended an invitation again. "How about it, Natsuki-chan, do you want to become my hare... um, Familia?"

Nangoku Natsuki's face darkened.

This Lust Demon definitely wanted to say 'harem' just now!

He really didn't want to hide it at all!

Nangoku Natsuki stood up, and the folding fan in her hand slammed down with a *swish*.

"You disrespectful Lust Demon!"

*Snap!*

A crisp sound echoed through the office.

But the folding fan did not land on Lin En's head as she had hoped.

Nangoku Natsuki watched as her folding fan seemed to hit an invisible air wall, and her eyes flickered subtly.

Had this Lust Demon become stronger again?

To be able to refine the crude method of releasing magic power to this degree?

Nangoku Natsuki asked suspiciously, "Tell me, has your speed of getting stronger been a bit too fast lately?"

She couldn't quite understand this rate of ascent anymore.

"Want to know?"

Lin En grinned at her. "As long as you join my Familia, I can tell you."

Nangoku Natsuki squinted her eyes and said calmly, "I'm actually not very interested."

"A word of advice."

Nangoku Natsuki tapped the table with her folding fan, making a *tap-tap-tap* sound.

"As a demon, shouldn't the quality of your Familia at least be decent?"

The implication was: stop messing with those ordinary students at Shuchiin!

"It seems Natsuki-chan doesn't trust the strength of my Familia..."

Lin En rubbed his chin and suddenly suggested, "How about we expand our previous cooperation to include my Familia?"

Hmm...

Although Utaha and the others had traveled to two worlds, they still didn't know much about the situation in the main world.

Letting them gain some experience by following Natsuki-chan wouldn't be bad.

While grinding for experience, they could also earn some rewards.

Although his Familia now possessed two worlds, they were actually lacking in supernatural items.

"Are you sure?"

"Are you sure?"

Nangoku Natsuki unfolded her fan to cover the lower half of her face, her eyes filled with suspicion.

Those students like Kasumigaoka Utaha?

However...

She really did need manpower.

Hmm...

She was too lazy to deal with those official people.

Although Lin En was a demon, the two of them had at least cooperated for a long time, and they could be considered to understand each other.

After thinking about it, she nodded. "Fine, but..."

"Better not drag me down!"

Lin En smiled and didn't say anything.

He still had confidence in Utaha and the others.

"Alright, let's talk business. Why did you call me here?"

Lin En sat up straight and looked into Nangoku Natsuki's eyes.

"The Level 1 Cursed Tool from last time has been approved."

"Someone will deliver it in a moment."

Lin En was surprised.

He had been a bit busy in the Black Bullet world lately; if Nangoku Natsuki hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it.

He didn't have to wait long.

Soon, there was a knock on Nangoku Natsuki's office door.

"Come in."

*Clatter—*

The door was pushed open from the outside.

A beautiful girl with hair like a waterfall of night walked in.

Those amethyst-like eyes were hard not to notice.

"Isayama Yomi, from the Office of Countermeasures for the Environment, coming from Kyoto."

Nangoku Natsuki introduced her briefly.

Lin En took a look and discovered that the [Demon Chess Piece] on his interface lit up for her.

Another Familia member.

But Lin En's Familia was already large enough.

There were even a million lolis in the Black Bullet world waiting to be fed.

Lin En was no longer in a rush for ordinary Familia members.

Of course.

If there was an opportunity, Lin En wouldn't give it up either.

Isayama Yomi didn't waste words; her actions were very crisp and efficient.

She took out the Level 1 Cursed Tool she was carrying.

"Word-Spirit Distorted Mirror."

Isayama Yomi placed a bronze mirror covered in cracks on the table.

"This bronze mirror is the main body of the Word-Calamity Demon, sealed by the legendary Abe no Seimei."

Isayama Yomi's cold voice rang out as she introduced the Word-Spirit Distorted Mirror.

Lin En listened for a while and roughly understood its ability.

"It can distort the results of reality to a certain extent..."

He wondered if it would be suitable for Miko.

Having completed her mission, Isayama Yomi prepared to leave.

Lin En, however, handed her a demon flyer.

Isayama Yomi's expression turned strange; she recognized the origin of this item.

After all, as an official organization dealing with the supernatural, they had some understanding of demons, angels, and the like.

"This..."

Isayama Yomi held the demon flyer and cast her gaze toward Nangoku Natsuki.

Nangoku Natsuki paused, then looked at Lin En speechlessly before finally saying, "Take it. What if you end up needing it?"

Even she couldn't quite fathom Lin En's current strength.

With such a flyer, at least it could save a life at a critical moment.

Although...

At that time, there was a high probability she would be recruited into Lin En's Familia anyway.

Hearing this, Isayama Yomi hesitated for a moment before tucking it into her pocket.

After Isayama Yomi left, Nangoku Natsuki didn't look pleased.

"You Lust Demon, are you eyeing her too?"

Lin En shrugged. "Just consider it a casual move on the chessboard; who knows if there will be an opportunity."

Black Bullet World.

Lin En handed the Word-Spirit Distorted Mirror to Yotsuya Miko.

"Distort results?"

Yotsuya Miko was a bit confused.

After thinking about it, Yotsuya Miko focused her gaze on a Gastrea.

Under normal circumstances, it would walk straight through the alley.

She shone the Word-Spirit Distorted Mirror at the Gastrea and focused her mind.

The Gastrea that should have crawled into the alley *bang* slammed into the wall.

Seeing this, Yotsuya Miko's eyes lit up.

"So that's how it is!"

Koto Yuko floated over, looking envious. "When will I be able to have a weapon too?"

They were all carrying Varanium weapons now.

But this was ultimately just a transitional measure.

Lin En rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

Weapons for his Familia members really needed to be arranged as soon as possible.

Now, besides the Word-Spirit Distorted Mirror Miko had just obtained, even the sword in Saeko's hand was just a Varanium weapon.

Other than being able to suppress the Gastrea's regenerative ability, it had no other bonuses.

He couldn't help but think of the divine artifacts in the main world.

Hmm...

Well, divine artifacts were things that were basically impossible to find.

If only there were a world that provided weapons.

A few days later.

Lin En's Familia prepared to subjugate the Stage V Zodiac Scorpio.

Before the battle.

Lin En began to update the Blessings for his Familiars.

Busujima Saeko, Kasumigaoka Utaha, and Yotsuya Miko had all increased their ability values significantly.

The remaining Familia members, except for Koto Yuko, Yurikawa Hana, and those who had newly joined, also broke through to the level of Intermediate Demon.

It is worth mentioning that Shiina Mahiru's agility and magic power had reached the limit of S.

Kikukawa Shizuka's durability had also reached S.

"Phew..."

"Finally an Intermediate Demon!"

Kikukawa Shizuka, naked, held the Blessing information and stretched her body with a big yawn.
