Fang Bo still had many plot points remaining but didn’t plan to continue upgrading.
In addition to creating the Memory Armor, if he signed a contract with a shikigami, he would need to upgrade the corresponding summoning skill.
Ryuuno’s skill level was low, and her shikigami, Shikigami, could only exist for up to 60 minutes. In the One Piece world, summoning a shikigami alone would cost several hundred plot points.
He didn’t want to waste points like that. It would be better to upgrade the skill once and for all.
Beep, Beep, Beep!
The mark indicated a private chat request.
Fang Bo thought it was the Onmyoji girl, but it was some idiot reincarnator trying to haggle.
“I want the Kusanagi Blood. You don’t look like a newbie, so you should have heard of my number. Give me the item, and I’ll ensure you complete your next world’s mission.”
The other party also sent information about an item.
Night Raid Trial Invitation: Using this item will force entry into the Akame ga Kill world to participate in the Night Raid organisation’s trial.
The person implied that he wanted Fang Bo to join him in this world and trade the Kusanagi Blood for the promise of completing the main mission.
“The Akame ga Kill world, huh? Those special Teigu are worth obtaining.” Fang Bo was tempted for a few seconds but ultimately ignored the invitation.
He was indeed interested, but joining an unfamiliar team was too risky.
What if they turned on him once they were in the scenario world?
Humans are unpredictable, and he wasn’t willing to take that risk.
Ignoring the messages, Fang Bo continued experimenting with his skills. He wasn’t concerned with the real world.
No matter what was special about his past, it had nothing to do with his current self.
So what if there were supernatural beings? Would they come into the reincarnation space to get him?
If they did, who would end up dealing with who was still uncertain?
After some time, Fang Bo received another communication request. This time, it was from Ryuuno, who had returned from the One Piece world.
Choosing to connect, her familiar voice immediately came through.
“Oh, you got back earlier than me.”
They exchanged a few pleasantries without questioning the details and ended the call.
Having just returned from the scenario world, Ryuuno needed to relax and use the mission rewards to strengthen herself.
Even if the destiny mission were urgent, it would differ after returning.
It wasn’t until the next day that Ryuuno contacted him again, requesting to enter his room. The familiar figure soon reappeared before him.
“Hey there.” She waved and started examining the room’s layout.
Seeing the beachfront mansion style, the onmyoji girl muttered, “Tacky.”
“…I heard that.”
“Ahem, let’s not talk about that now.”
She sat on the couch, recounting their experiences after separating, and then introduced the team they had formed.
“Cereberus, that’s our team name.” She said, briefly introducing her two teammates.
One followed the strength path, and the Golden Great Gun was a gift prepared for her. She was also supposedly very voluptuous.
Seeing Fang Bo’s indifferent expression, Ryuuno mentioned her other teammate.
“She’s a spirit-specialized attacker with explosive damage output. She’s also a cold and beautiful CEO.”
Ryuuno’s scheming mind was working overtime; she wanted to lure Fang Bo with her teammates’ looks.
If he decided to join, they could just change the team name. Turning Cerberus into a four-headed dog was no problem.
Unfortunately, he seemed uninterested. Sitting on the couch, Ryuuno regretted not secretly taking some revealing photos of her teammates while they slept.
For the sake of attracting a strong teammate, they wouldn’t mind.
Seeing the onmyoji girl’s sad look, Fang Bo hesitated before asking a question that had been on his mind.
“You already have two teammates, so why are you asking me to join you for the destiny mission?”
Ryuuno finally remembered she hadn’t explained. She detailed the situation.
To complete the destiny mission for Shikigami, they needed to rescue children kept captive in a yokai lair.
However, the lair was filled with yokai. They needed someone to tank damage and someone to heal constantly.
Since their goal was to rescue the children rather than slay the yokai, they needed someone who could withstand the assault while keeping everyone alive.
The problem was, aside from Ryuuno, the destiny mission only allowed one helper.
An MT would lack healing, and a healer wouldn’t withstand the damage. Eventually, she thought of Fang Bo.
Who better than a man who was both strong and enduring?
The Giant Trio could tank damage, and Fang Bo had a healing ability. He was the perfect helper for her mission.
“I see, I understand.”
After some thought, Fang Bo said, “If the opportunity arises, I want to capture the giant spider you mentioned.”
Hearing this, Ryuuno wasn’t too surprised. Anyone with a Blood Vow Talisman would want to capture a shikigami immediately.
The earlier you capture one, the sooner you benefit. A powerful shikigami could help a reincarnator complete missions.
“Okay.” Ryuuno nodded, agreeing to assist Fang Bo.
The spider yokai, rumoured to capture and kill men, was likely the SR shikigami, Jorogumo.
Jorogumo was a fearsome yokai a beautiful upper body with a spider’s lower half.
Legend says she was once a renowned beauty who became a vengeful spirit spider after her lover betrayed her.
As a yokai, Jorogumo harbours an intense hatred for all men, consuming her and influencing her spider minions.
These minions would capture men to appease Jorogumo, even abducting baby boys to raise and offer to their queen.
Usually, being male, Fang Bo couldn’t turn her into a shikigami, but with the Blood Vow Talisman, he only needed to reduce her health to 20%.
Jorogumo was a balanced yokai with strong poison, sharp stingers, decent speed, and the ability to summon spider swarms.
Considering the practical aspect, Jorogumo should also be able to weave webs.
With balanced skills, she was perfect for Fang Bo’s versatile approach.
Spiders would control enemies, and he used the “Deteriorate” skill to inflict burn and poison.
After breaking free from the webs, enemies would face a swarm of spiders and the Giant Trio, a genuinely hopeless scenario.
After sorting their items, Fang Bo and Ryuuno headed to the space plaza.
When she touched the portal, space prompted Fang Bo.
[No. 14005 invites you to enter the Onmyoji world together.]
[Contract terms triggered; you will be forcibly transported to the scenario world.]
In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into space.
In this era where humans and spirits coexist, yokai lurks in the human world, causing havoc.
A group of people skilled in divination, talismans, and spirit summoning emerged to fight these evil entities. These people are called “Onmyoji.”
In the depths of the Black Night Mountains, southwest of Kyoto.
This remote forest area was shrouded in haze and filled with dark, intersecting rivers and valleys.
Looking around, Fang Bo sighed, “This place is completely different from the One Piece world. The air seems to have a strange spiritual energy.”
“That’s the world’s spirit energy. Unfortunately, we reincarnators can’t use it.” Ryuuno explained, turning to her shikigami, Akasha and Shikigami.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Shikigami.”
“It’s okay.” The soothing voice of Shikigami replied, “Together, we will save the children from their fate.”
Despite her calm tone, Fang Bo could sense the shikigami’s anxiety.
It wasn’t fear but a shiver of anticipation. They wanted to act immediately but knew it wouldn’t be easy. They had to follow Onmyoji’s plan.
Ryuuno suggested sneaking in and using Fang Bo’s summons to delay enemies, aiming to escape the Yokai lair as quickly as possible.
That way, they could complete Shikigami’s destiny mission.
It sounded easy, but who knew what might happen during the process?
After thinking, Fang Bo proposed, “Instead of passively defending, let’s find the strongest monster first.”
“The benefit is, the yokai won’t suspect we’re rescuing the children. We won’t have to protect and fight simultaneously.”
He didn’t mention that capturing Jorogumo would ensure the children’s safety.
Ryuuno, however, thought it impractical, “Shikigami said the giant spider is fast and can move along webs. We can’t keep up with her.”
If the spider decided to leave, they couldn’t deal significant damage.
Before upgrading his skills, they might have had to risk rescuing the children. But now, the situation was different.
“I can immobilize her. You just need to unleash maximum firepower.”
Seeing his confidence, Ryuuno realised he must have acquired something valuable.
Trusting him, she agreed to his plan.
