Dimension Game Empire Chapter 431

“Hmm? She got away…”

Hearing Ena’s report, Xia Yan didn’t show any surprise.

If the ‘Orthodoxy Compilation Society’ could really capture a ‘Great Yokai’ and give it to him, Xia Yan would have thought highly of them. The strength of the Japanese Jujutsu world is only at the mid-level globally. Even if they exhaust their resources and risk their lives, they might not be able to defeat Komeiji Satori.

This was even more so after Xia Yan understood the extremely bizarre fighting style of the ‘Satori’ clan.

However, Ena’s next words surprised him a bit.

“No, we didn’t engage with that ‘Heretic God’…” Ena’s expression was strange: “We were tracking the aura of that god, always following behind her. But—no matter how we formed an encirclement, that god kept running away…”

“She had no intention of fighting me at all…”

Anyone would find it strange… A group of human Jujutsu sorcerers chasing after a ‘Heretic God’, and that Heretic God not only didn’t get angry, but kept running away, as if afraid of these humans who were no match for her at all.

Even Xia Yan was surprised.

He knew that the ‘Satori’ had a personality that disliked fighting, but being chased by humans like this, how could she, who originally didn’t have a good impression of humans, keep avoiding battle?

Could it be….

Vermilion eyes flickered slightly, Xia Yan associated Komeiji Satori’s series of strange reactions, and the situation that day, and he had a vague guess in his mind, then asked.

“How did you track her?”

“That ‘god’ didn’t hide… or rather, didn’t control her magical power. As long as you track the aura of magical power, you can easily track her. However, no matter how close we got, that ‘god’ seemed to be able to see through our plans and escape.”

“I see…” Xia Yan smiled slightly, confirming his guess.

When performing the dimensional contract ritual, his consciousness was in contact with the ‘Root Vortex’. Komeiji Satori was purely summoned by accident. It is estimated that she did not share the memory of the ‘Empire Game’. In that situation, the cautious and calm Satori, who had just arrived in the outside world, would naturally try to read minds.

Especially Xia Yan, who was obviously the strongest, had to be carefully observed.

Unfortunately, the timing of her mind reading was really bad. It just so happened that Xia Yan was comprehending the 「 」. Komeiji Satori, who tried to read minds, also felt the sublime principle of the ‘Root Vortex’.

But—that’s not a good thing.

Before reaching the realm, feeling ‘knowledge’ far beyond one’s own level will only be completely overwhelmed. Not to mention that Komeiji Satori’s concept of ‘mind reading’ is to try to completely understand the memory of the other party’s consciousness surface.

Xia Yan cannot fully understand this sublime principle, but only temporarily stores it for slow learning. And Komeiji Satori’s ‘mind reading’ is to completely understand it, which can be said to be courting death.

Humans without a magical foundation will not be able to withstand that kind of ‘knowledge’ if they read magic books thoroughly, and their bodies will begin to collapse and melt. The spirit will also be constantly eroded, and at first it will only be mental weakness and memory confusion.

If it is eroded to a serious degree, losing intelligence, brain damage, and losing oneself are all normal.

The current Komeiji Satori is probably already memory confused, so she can’t even do the most basic control of Yokai power, and her aura leaks. That was an hour ago, and now…

“Could she have already gone stupid…”

Thinking of this, Xia Yan couldn’t help but frown.

If it was a close-combat contractor, it would be fine. Even if she lost her intelligence and became a mentally retarded person, he could make waste use of her. He has no feelings for people he meets for the first time. But if Komeiji Satori lost her ‘intelligence’, she would completely lose her value.

Not to mention, he himself has some affection for this girl.

“If we don’t solve her erosion problem quickly, brain damage is only a matter of time.”

Xia Yan said so, but facing Komeiji Satori, who has the ability to ‘read minds’, it is difficult to catch her for a while. Ena also saw Xia Yan’s difficulties. Although she didn’t know the specific reason, the girl’s pretty face still showed a somewhat guilty expression, reflecting on why she couldn’t stop that ‘Heretic God’ at that time.

“Master, leave it to me at this time.”

The sudden delicate voice made Ena startled slightly, and subconsciously pulled out the sword in her hand, wanting to be on guard. But the cold and sharp touch that suddenly appeared on her neck made her instantly feel the taste of death.

Obviously slender and delicate, like white jade, beautiful fingers, but the sharp claws at the top, flickered with a chilling edge. Ena has no doubt that this sharp claw can easily split mountains and rocks, and cut gold and jade.

“Little guy, don’t move…”

The woman who suddenly hugged her from behind, leaned her body against her back, and whispered softly in Ena’s ear.

“I have really been trying to restrain my impulse to kill you, so don’t move…”

Her voice was soft and sweet, but it contained poison. — This is not a description. Accompanied by this language, as if substantial, dark air with poison and curse lingered around the two, making Ena feel like she had fallen into an ice cellar, deep and cold.

Even if Ena releases the divine power of ‘Ama no Murakumo’, she may not be able to cut through the curse and poison gas that is so strong.

This method of casting spells without chanting incantations is obviously a Japanese Jujutsu that uses body movements as ‘materials’.

But she has never heard of a Jujutsu that can exert such an amazing effect with just one action as ‘material’. It is as if the other party has constantly simplified the complicated ‘material’ steps, constantly simplified them, and finally reached this level.

In fact, the ‘materials’ required to launch magic and Jujutsu in the ancient god era were very short.

For example, the divine incantation of magic, the mysterious technique of completely condensing all the syllables required to cast magic into one ‘syllable’, has now been lost. The woman behind her is undoubtedly using the lost divine art.

“Tama, didn’t you promise me not to make trouble before you came? Have you forgotten our agreement?”

Xia Yan smiled and reprimanded. Although he looked very gentle, Ena suddenly felt the woman behind her tremble, as if she had thought of something terrible, and her killing intent disappeared.

“If you get in my way, I will treat you as an enemy.”

“I’m… I’m sorry, Master…”

Tamamo-no-Mae apologized timidly with tears in her eyes.

“Please… please don’t drive away me, I will listen carefully.”

Looking at Tamamo-no-Mae with her hands behind her back, nervous, uneasy, and pitiful, Xia Yan maintained a gentle smile on the surface, but he was a little helpless in his heart.

Tamamo-no-Mae’s possessiveness is very strong, and even vaguely reaches the level of Yandere, and she is very hostile to women who approach him.

The most important thing is that although Tamamo-no-Mae in the three-tailed state has lost her power as the ‘Supreme God’, she has perfectly reproduced the strength of the nine-tailed fox, one of the three great Yokai of Japan.

Powerful physical combat power, Yokai power with poison and curse, and the highest Japanese Jujutsu inherited from the ‘Amaterasu Omikami’ divinity, as well as the trump card Noble Phantasm—Tamamo-no-Mae’s strength is among the top even among the disaster level.

Even if Xia Yan confronts her, he may not be able to win.

So, if Tamamo-no-Mae attacks the girls around him, I’m afraid few can survive from her hands. If the target is Yuzuriha Inori or Momo Belia Deviluke, who have no combat power, they will probably be killed instantly.

Fortunately, Tamamo-no-Mae’s desire to become a ‘good wife and mother’ is far more profound than her possessiveness.

If you are not obedient and loyal to your husband—you are disqualified as a wife. This ancient Japanese wife’s three obediences and four virtues are the root cause of the birth of Yamato Nadeshiko women.

As long as Xia Yan shows a slightly stronger expression, Tamamo-no-Mae will obey him even if she is jealous—this is her essence.

‘If I use this, I can properly train her personality…’

Xia Yan thought. Of course, although it is for Tamamo-no-Mae to get along harmoniously with other girls, so as not to destroy the team’s cooperation, Xia Yan himself actually enjoys this ‘training’ process more or less.

Subtly shaping Tamamo-no-Mae’s personality into the way he wants, and dyeing her with his own color. This act of taming a wild beast-eared girl can also make Xia Yan feel happy and gain a sense of accomplishment.

“Then, you have to apologize and compensate properly, Tama.”

Xia Yan smiled gently, stroking Tamamo-no-Mae’s head lightly, comforting her. Tamamo-no-Mae looked unwilling, but still reluctantly apologized to Ena. Then, according to Xia Yan’s order, she used a Jujutsu that was enough to make all Japanese Jujutsu sorcerers tremble, searching for the figure of ‘Satori’.

The other escaped Yokai must also be recovered properly.

Twilight hour, the hour of meeting demons.

The forest under the setting sun appears deep and eerie. The moment when all things enter into slumber is the time when monsters and goblins make trouble. In the small forest at dusk, a slender figure is escaping as if being chased by a beast.

“Koishi… Koishi…”

Komeiji Satori endured the dizziness in her head, as if a poison was constantly eroding her brain. If it weren’t for the Satori clan’s unique brain structure due to their mind-reading ability, this poison would have probably destroyed her brain completely.

“Is this a newly developed curse Jujutsu by Onmyoji… Damn it.”

The girl stopped, panting. After running for several hours in a row, she had already reached her limit with her physical fitness, Satori thought.
