175 Shutendoji! (2/2)

Okubo formed a seal with his other hand and used the entirety of his remaining Mana to create an impregnable barrier.

Natsuya’s attack was successfully blocked by his barrier.

She instantly began preparing a new and stronger spell.

But, no matter how fast, any spell able to break through his barrier required at least a few seconds to cast.

That was more than enough time for Okubo.

Okubo recalled the last words of advice from the person who had sold these to him as he looked at the crystals on his hand.

”There’s one more way to use this drug, which I didn’t want to mention, but I might as well tell you seeing how generous you’ve been with your payments.”

”This is a method that only Yin-Yang Masters can use, and it won’t work on Spirit-branded Retainers. It involves consuming the 'main body' and summoning a spirit which will possess you. This will grant you a burst of explosive power—but the strength of the spirit depends on how much you consume.”

”As you can imagine, this is a highly dangerous technique. About fifty percent of this technique’s users will end up dead—yes, exactly half—it's just like flipping a coin. And even if the user manages to survive, there might be irreparable damage to the soul.”

”I truly hope that you won’t need to use this forbidden technique.”

That person had chuckled while telling him this.

As Okubo recalled the conversation, he realized that person probably anticipated that he would need to use this from the very start.

'Well, forget it—his motives aren't important.'

Okubo placed the three crystals into his mouth and bit down with all his might.

*Crack!*

The crystals were crispy and had a salty taste… in fact, they were surprisingly delicious.

Okubo swallowed the crystals and instantly felt a chill spreading throughout his body.

Across from him, Natsuya was about to begin her next attack.

Okubo now had to summon a spirit!

It was a forbidden technique for a Yin-Yang Master to summon a spirit to possess him or herself.

That was because spirits were mostly demonic spirits; they possessed negative energy, and it could even be said that they were evil.

A Yin-Yang Master’s task was to suppress them so that they wouldn’t overtake the host’s body!

Another way of saying it was that Yin-Yang Masters were the seals on a spirit’s power.

If a Yin-Yang Master summoned a spirit to descend upon his own body, there was no longer any guarantee of sealing the spirit’s power, and there was no more limiter present.

The spirit’s true potential would be unleashed, but at the same time it was highly possible for the Yin-Yang Master to lose control; in fact, it was high to the point where it was basically suicidal.

That was why this was taboo.

It was also known as a forbidden technique.

Okubo consumed the ”main body” of the nameless medicine and cast the forbidden spell.

”Spirit, descend! I decree it so!!!”

At the exact same moment, Natsuya’s strong attack spell broke through Okubo’s defense and was about to hit his body.

Suddenly, a blood-red light exploded from his body, dispelling Natsuya’s attack spell.

Natsuya smelled a strong scent of blood.

She felt an incomprehensible sense of terror and reflexively retreated backwards at top speed.

She soon found that this had been the correct action.

That was because an enormous blood-red wine gourd smashed into the ground where she had just been standing!

Not only did the gourd gouge out a large hole into the ground, it even destroyed part of the spell formation drawn into the school ground there.

”Ahahahaha! A beautiful virgin!”

The blood-red light dissipated.

What appeared was a tall, strong figure with fiery-red long hair and two horns growing out of the side of his head. He was an incredibly handsome man wearing blood-red-colored traditional Sakura Island clothing, with his right shoulder bare, revealing a collection of black tattoos.

”I’m in love with you! Be with me and become my woman!!”

The man grinned widely as his red eyes sparkled with a blood-red glow. Just his physical appearance alone would make him seem rather attractive.

Natsuya felt as if she had fallen into an icy abyss.

Her body was instinctively afraid of this person to the point where it was difficult to control her fear.

Not only that, she was shocked to her core.

Okubo Yoshiaki actually summoned a spirit to descend upon his own body!?

That was a forbidden technique for Yin-Yang Masters! Was he suicidal!?

Not only that, he summoned this particular spirit!

It was one of the most famous demons of them all: the King of One Hundred Demons, and this spirit was considered as one of the three strongest and evilest demons of them all…

This demon particularly loved to harm virgins, and his favorite things to devour were exquisite wine and… virgin flesh.
