Chapter 198: The Spirit (Ch 198)

On Yue Yan’s side, although he was exempted from the tedious procedures of bathing and burning incense, Shion, as a shrine maiden, still had to change into a new set of clothes. After all, what she was wearing now should be casual home clothes.

After Ashio followed Shion away, the two remaining guards in the reception hall came to the incense burner hanging on the pillar and lit a kind of incense unique to the Land of Demons.

As the smoke spread, a very pleasant and soothing aroma filled the air.

After waiting for a long time, a figure dressed in formal witch attire and with a golden crown on her head slowly walked over.

Shion, who already had an icy beauty face, looked even colder and more sacred in this outfit.

After sitting down not far in front of Yue Yan and Ye Cang, Zuho, who was following behind Shion, began to introduce them.

“The Demon Country Miko, Lady Shion.”

Upon hearing this, Yue Yan and Ye Cang also introduced themselves, but in order to avoid trouble, they both used pseudonyms.

“Zeraora.”

“Ye Huo.”

Shion nodded, then looked at Ashio and the others.

“You guys go down first.”

Hearing this, Zuho subconsciously frowned and was about to refuse, but Shion’s next words directly blocked him.

“The following conversation is not for you to listen to.”

Since Shion, the shrine maiden, had said so much, Ashiho no longer insisted and left with the other two guards.

When Yue Yan and the others were the only ones left here, Ziyuan finally couldn’t help but wonder in her heart.

“What… are you? I see death in you. Your existence is like death itself.”

As she spoke, Shion’s expression became extremely strange.

“But what puzzles me is… you seem incomplete, like only half.”

“Huh?” There was a look of confusion on Ye Cang’s handsome face. He looked at Ziyuan, then at Yue Yan who fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Seeing Ye Cang’s reaction, Shion was also confused.

“Aren’t you guys companions? And judging from the relationship between you two, you should be very close. How come you don’t know?”

“I don’t know.”

Ye Cang said this and began to look at Yue Yan carefully. Apart from being a little stronger and having a better-looking face, Ye Cang did not find any difference between Yue Yan and normal people. And judging from various rumors in the ninja world, Yue Yan should not have any ability related to death.

“If we use the words of our witches, the one next to you can no longer be considered a human being, but a god, the god of death.”

Noticing that Ye Cang wanted to say something, Shion, who had already guessed it, shook her head.

“He is not the god of death of this world, but comes from… another world.”

When mentioning another world, Shion clenched her jade hands hidden under her long sleeves, obviously thinking of the monsters that also came from other worlds, and her mother who sacrificed herself to seal the monsters.

When Shion mentioned death, Yue Yan knew that she was talking about Yveltal’s power, and the incompleteness was easy to explain, after all, he had only unlocked half of the template.

But Yue Yan was not thinking about these things now. He looked at Ziyuan with a serious expression.

“Can I kill the sprite?”

Hearing this, Ziyuan, who was still immersed in the sorrow of losing her mother, suddenly looked up and looked at Yue Yan with trembling pupils.

“You want to fight against the monsters!?”

After getting Yue Yan’s nod of approval, Ziyuan’s thoughts began to work rapidly.

Although she has not yet awakened the power of the witch and is unable to deal with monsters, the seal on the monsters can only last for a few years at most before they need to be sealed again.

If everything goes well, it will be nothing more than the continuation of the fate of the witch fighting against the monsters.

Now, with Yue Yan, the god of death who also does not belong to this world, perhaps we can really solve the problem of monsters once and for all.

Although Ziyuan is not very old now, she still needs to be cautious. After all, she cannot confirm what Yue Yan’s real purpose is. Besides, he also came from another world. What if Yue Yan is the next monster?

If it wasn’t for the prophecy that Yue Yan would not hurt herself, Ziyuan wouldn’t have trusted Yue Yan so much and been alone with him.

After pondering for a moment, Ziyuan looked at Yue Yan.

“I need to know your real purpose.”

Can I say that I killed the monster for the treasure chest rewarded by the system? Yue Yan, who couldn’t tell the truth, thought about it and gave a reasonable explanation.

“Like you said, I am not complete now, and I want to kill Wuliang in order to take back the power that belongs to me.”

Well, it makes sense to open the treasure chest after killing the monster and get the last template fragment of Ypeltal.

After hearing this, Shion accepted this statement.

After thinking for a while, Shion said, “Your power is very advanced, but I can’t confirm whether you can really kill the ghost, and I… I…”

As she spoke, a rare blush of embarrassment appeared on Ziyuan’s originally cold face.

“I haven’t completely inherited the power of the witch. If you can’t kill the monster, I may not be able to seal it again after the seal is unlocked.”

After saying that, Ziyuan turned her head away, too shy to look at Yue Yan.

“I can help you.”

“What?”

Just when Shion was confused, Yue Yan pointed to the bell hanging on her chest. It was the only thing left to her by the previous generation of shrine maiden, Shion’s mother, before she died.

The bell is Shion’s mother’s protection of Shion, and it is also the thing that suppresses the awakening of her miko power.

The reason for doing this is that Shion’s mother predicted that in the future, someone would use the power in the bell to completely kill the demon, which is the prince in the original movie. In the end, the demon was also destroyed by Naruto’s Rasengan combined with the power of the witch in the bell.

This way, Shion can live well before the monsters are destroyed, and after the monsters are destroyed, she can gradually awaken her power and pass on the power of the witch without having to bear the burden of fighting against the monsters.

“Although this is what your mother left for you, it will suppress your awakening of the power of the witch. As long as you don’t wear it, you will gradually awaken. When you are fully awakened, you will have the power of the senior witch and know why your mother did this.”

After listening to this, Shion held the bell with a complicated look in her eyes.

“How do you know that?”

“Just think of me as someone who has the ability to predict the future.”

Ziyuan nodded. She heard that Yue Yan didn’t want to say more, so she didn’t ask any more questions.

After that, Yue Yan also discussed with Ziyuan how to deal with the monsters.

Ye Cang, who had not had a chance to speak before, now looked at Yue Yan beside him. Although Yue Yan saved his life and he had helped him with many things, and they were usually very casual together, just like friends, but until now, Ye Cang realized that he did not know Yue Yan well. And from the high-sounding words like “death” and “getting back strength” in the conversation just now, Yue Yan was becoming more and more mysterious in Ye Cang’s eyes.
