Chapter 110: Tsujigiri (2/2)

“Demonic Roe?”

Xi Wei was curious upon hearing this new term that he was sure wasn’t in the God of Games’ Divine Records, nor recorded in the divinity of the Aquatic Lord.

“You know about the War of Demons and Gods yes? You know, the one that broke out around about a thousand years ago.” Aslan continued in an animated tone, “I joined that battle too, you know! When I was surrounded by enemy deities, I killed them all without breaking a sweat….”

“Pfft.”

“What are you laughing for?” The lion god frowned and asked.

“I thought of something that made me happy,” Xi Wei replied seriously.[3]

“What sort of thing?”

“That my believers sacrificed such a big Barren Giant for me…”

“Anyway, the most common way for those demonic deities to spread their influence in the mortal realm is through Demonic Roe.” Aslan looked at Xi Wei with a dubious expression before continuing his explanation. “These things usually attach on weapons or potions, and can bring its user unimaginable power, but in exchange, it slowly eats away at the user’s sanity as they become overcome with power that doesn’t belong to them. In the process, the Demonic Roe will destroy the user’s psyche and claim them as their own, turning them into demons.”

“Are demons created in such a way?” Xi Wei was a little confused. “I thought those were creatures from hell…”

“Those are called devils, there’s a big difference!” At this point, Aslan smacked the ground with his paw, his tone quite irritated, “Can you stop flickering? You’ve been blinking like a broken light bulb ever since I came in, my eyes are almost going to go blind!”

“Ah, sorry. So in conclusion, we just have to kill off that thing called a Tsujigiri?” Xi Wei apologized halfheartedly, and then asked in a curious tone, “But if that was all it was, you wouldn’t have to come to me like this, no?”

Aslan had left Xi Wei a deific communication device before, and he didn’t have any need to come seek his help personally if it weren’t urgent.

“The problem with that, is that even my believers were killed in the same way, I found out through their prayers that this Tsujigiri is extremely powerful…” Aslan told Xi Wei with a serious expression, “In the worst-case scenario, this Tsujigiri has probably completely demonified, and according to how they say it in the mortal realm, he is on the cusp of becoming a legendary warrior that can even fight with deities!”

To this, even the heartless sphere of a god that was listening in couldn’t help but gulp slightly.

‘Dang… He really sounds strong.’

“In conclusion, this Tsujigiri seems to be heading in the direction where you followers are, quickly have them take precautions and track his whereabouts, but remember to tell them not to engage in battle with him.”

Xi Wei agreed with what Aslan said, because the Tsujigiri was too strong, and even if the players all battled him at once, they would probably not even be strong enough to scratch him an enemy that was almost legendary level.

“So how do we deal with this demon?” Xi Wei asked.

The lion god stood up straight, his mane fluttering in the wind and making him look majestic and holy. “When the time comes, I will descend to the mortal realm and deal with him myself.”
