Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 201 Departure to Igarashi’s Technique

The king of all ghosts in the country, the drunken boy.

The memory of Shenyuan Yi was triggered, and the memories of the past immediately flooded into his mind, and the battle seemed to be still vivid in his mind.

The special-grade imaginary curse spirit—Shuten Doji, was the curse that was originally resurrected by the boy cutting into Gennaon's body.

And it was during that fight that he understood the reversal technique, and thus realized the fully automatic activation of the technique like Gojo-sensei, taking a crucial step on the path of incantation.

The legend of Dajiangshan's retreat is one that is well-known in the myths and legends of ordinary people, but this real curse seems to be inconsistent with the time recorded in the legend, or even earlier.

So a question arises from this: Is this hypothetical special-level curse born from the legend that people fear, or is there a curse before the legend spreads?
In addition, there are several cursed swords in Shenyuan's hand, especially the famous sword named "Douji Kiriyanzuna". According to legend, it got this name because it killed Shuten Doji.

Judging from the connection between the hypothetical curse and the legend, this cursed sword is most likely not a cursed tool made by a magician, at least not entirely. Its current form and the magic formula on it are very likely to be inseparable from Shuten Douji. Open relationship.

There is a more reliable conjecture about this: the magician may even be Minamoto Yorimitsu in history. When he was conquering Shuten Doji, he used this cursed sword to be able to break the cursed defense in exchange for some kind of restraint. ability, thus killing Shuten Doji.

After the curse was completed, this sword broke away from the category of mortal weapons and became a special cursed sword. Of course, there is a second possibility, that is, the purpose of this cursed sword is to break through wine. It was forged by swallowing the boy's defense.

"In order to successfully defeat the curse this time, this little bit of help will be provided by me and several others."

Then...if this history continues as usual, will Doji Kiri still appear? Wouldn't that mean there would be two handles for boy cutting? Will objects traveling through time and space be affected by the "grandmother's paradox" hypothesized by humans?
If the "grandmother paradox" does not exist, then whether to explain the timeline or parallel time and space is the real answer...

That's why Shenyuanyi prefers that they all went through unknown rituals at the hands of someone, maybe it was a curse or something else, and finally they completed some kind of transformation together and were given names.

However, most magicians don't care much about whether there is information about Shuten-Douji, because they are not responsible for this aspect. If they are just to defeat Shuten-Douji, they are basically not needed. Beings of the Fujiwara family's level are naturally capable. Eliminate its strength.

After all, that team was repulsed by Shuten Douji's troublesome spell spirits before they actually fought against him. If someone among them hadn't had a spell that played a role, it would not be impossible for them to end up with the whole army destroyed.

Talismans, charms, spell tools...these messy things are piled together, and the number is comparable to the inventory of the Jiku where such things are stored in the Conjuration Academy.

You must know that the former is just free help provided by several major families in order to remove the curse this time. When Shenyuan raised his eyes and took a closer look, he found that the level of these things was not very high. They were useful in the battle to remove the curse, but not much.

This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone, but it is also a move that both parties know well and get what they need.

That's why they take this opportunity to recruit free magicians, which allows them to contain the middle and low-level curse spirits. At this level of fighting, they can also screen out the truly strong ones so that they can be absorbed into the family. power.

Of course, this is from his perspective. In fact, for these free magicians, these things can already improve their survival rate a lot, so everyone is overjoyed at the moment and seems to be at their mercy.

In other words, they may not even know as much information as Shenyuan knows about the Shuten boy, even if the Shuten boy resurrected in the modern era is definitely very different from the 'big demon' in the Heian era.

Having found a direction that might confirm their doubts, Shenyuan couldn't wait to see Shuten Doji again this time.

But the trouble is that the curse called Shuten Doji does not exist alone. It brings together a large group of curses entrenched in the country, and judging from the current information, it is intelligent.

After that, there was the process of Fujiwara Masanobu making public the information that Sun Moon Star had previously entered into the team to search for. However, there was not much information about Shuten Douji, and most of it was information about curses under his command.

At the signal of Fujiwara Masanobu, several Fujiwara family magicians at the entrance of the hall drove the shikigami to bring in many objects.

However, Kangenichi is still leaning towards the former possibility, because in addition to Doji Kiri, he also has two cursed swords that are closely related to him - Mustache Kiri and Knee Kiri, also known as Ghost Kiri and Spider Kiri.

And they have one thing in common, that is, they once had a common master, and that was Minamoto Yorimitsu, who killed Shuten Doji.

Then simple tactics such as luring and dividing will not work. The only option is to defeat the opponent's cursed army head-on and completely break through this cursed nest.

Powerful magicians do have the ability to crush the weak, but before reaching a certain level of qualitative change, numerical superiority may overwhelm the former.

Several major families have so many magicians, but to deal with a moderate curse disaster, most of their clansmen have to be dispatched. If something goes wrong, the loss will be difficult for them to accept.

The connection between these three cursed knives in spells is extremely rare. There is no such thing as a "set" for cursed tools. They can complete some coordination under the whims of the magician, but they are rarely possible. Holding these three curse knives in your hands at the same time will produce new changes.

It is also rare for everyone to take what they need without fighting or grabbing. However, Kamogen Ichi just took two protective spells and gave them to Mizuno Shiina. This little guy seemed to have a strong interest in spells or Kamogen Ichi. Some power creates craving.

However, her spell power has already shown some signs of being beyond the scope of ordinary people. This age is about the time when qualified people begin to awaken. She may not be able to awaken any spells, but there is a high probability that she can still possess the touch spell. World qualifications.

If the talent is acceptable, it is not impossible to advance a certain distance on the road of conjuring like Ms. Mingming or Mr. Kusakabe without relying on or even using spells.

But Shenyuanyi doesn't think this is a good thing. Even in modern times, the profession of conjurer is a high-risk job. You never know whether you will die in the next mission. Not to mention that in this era of peace, which is known as the heyday of magic, when power is placed on the scale, it will lose balance and be doomed.

Without her own existence, from the most objective point of view, Shenyuan would support her to become a magician. As long as she has an accurate judgment of the situation like Mr. Kusakabe, living well as a magician will always be better than being a magician. It's easy for an ordinary person.

But with the variable existence of Kamogenichi, he has already agreed to her grandfather's request. On the way back, it is not difficult to arrange a place for Mizuno Shiina, at least it is not difficult for her to live peacefully and normally. .

There was really no need for her to get involved in the world of magic, so Shenyuan came up with an idea, which was to let her see the real curse with her own eyes, and it was no longer the ants wandering the wilderness at night with a hundred ghosts.

It is a real curse that can be called a disaster. There is such an opportunity right now. A trip to the great rivers and mountains and the king of ghosts - Shuten Doji will definitely satisfy the idea of ​​​​the God of God.

Yes, he planned to bring Mizuno Shiina with him. As for whether bringing a young child would become a burden, this was not a problem that would cause trouble to Kangenichi.

The king of ghosts instead of the king of curses. If Shen Yuanyi can reverse all life and death in the battle with Su Nuo, then he can also make an ordinary person safe and sound in the hands of Shuten Doji. This is the path of curse. The self-confidence that has been maintained until now.

The Fujiwara family didn't pay much attention to Kamogenichi's plans, and Fujiwara Masanobu didn't think that this unpredictable young man would be a fool who couldn't understand the situation. Since the latter wanted to bring an ordinary child with him, he just happened to I wanted to use this to see how the other party would protect the child in the ghost realm where the curse was raging.

The Fujiwara family didn't say anything, and others naturally didn't care, especially after Shenyuan Yi had already neatly eliminated a magician. Most of these magicians were selfish guys, and they didn't want to watch the fun. How can you be kind-hearted and meddle in others' affairs when it's too late?

----

After dividing up the combat supplies, the team was ready to set off. Perhaps because there were too many people, the Fujiwara family did not provide the kind of traveling curse spirit to travel. Instead, they got many good and powerful horses for everyone to ride. take.

Of course, people who are willing to show off their magical powers can also use their own methods. Shenyuan Yi has never ridden a horse, but it is not difficult for him. Firstly, these horses are also top-grade horses that have been strictly trained. Secondly, for magicians, As far as beings are concerned, they are just bigger playthings.

A body magician enhanced by spell power can easily throw them away. Imagine facing a creature whose strength and speed are much weaker than yours. Even if the opponent is larger in size, what threat can it pose to you?

Moreover, these guys seemed to have very keen senses in some aspects. After these magicians rode on their backs, they all looked very docile. After a short period of adaptation, Shenyuan Yi basically mastered the essentials of riding.

At this moment, the magician of the Fujiwara family named Igarashi drove his horse to the side of Kangenichi. As the captain of the Sun Moon Star Team, he was undoubtedly the person in charge of this operation. people.

After he came to Shenyuan Yi, he raised his arm slightly, and a small and flexible monkey emerged from his sleeve. This little burnt-yellow monkey quickly climbed up on his shoulder and sat firmly on his shoulder. After getting on it, he stretched out his forelimbs to cover his ears in a very humane manner.

Then Shenyuan Yi noticed something strange around him: in a very small area, there was an invisible boundary that separated this area from the outside world, and the most obvious thing was the sound!
After the surroundings fell silent for an instant, Igarashi's slightly hoarse voice was also restricted between the two of them: "Genichi-kun, you are strong enough to be the main force of this operation, but in order to ensure that everything goes smoothly, I I want to communicate with you about magic."

Igarashi glanced sideways at the little monkey covering his ears on his shoulder, and opened his mouth to reveal the information about his technique: "My technique is called 'Spiritual Transformation Technique'. I can control and use these beings." The power of the cursed spirit that I adopted as a shikigami.”

"Manipulate them or borrow their power to apply it to me. This is my technique. You can never underestimate the enemy when facing a curse. Considering possible cooperation in the future, can you know the general effect of Gen Yijun's technique? "

Of course, Igarashi is not here to spy on the intelligence of Shenyuan's art. The disclosure of the art is fatal to some magicians who rely on the art to confuse the gap between strength and weakness, but as long as they reach a level that can truly be called a strong one, The publicity of the technique basically doesn't matter.

Because in order to reach this level, the spell must have no obvious weaknesses. Even if there are any, they will be made up for by the efforts of the spell master. There will be no situation where the spell will fail once the effect of the spell is discovered.

However, apart from the real need to know the effect of the opponent's technique in order to cooperate, Igarashi is also somewhat curious about the divine source of the technique.

He had seen fast techniques, and even the shikigami controlled by Igarashi had speed types, but he had never seen speeds beyond the scope of his 'Buddha Eye'.

After Igarashi's words fell behind, Shengenichi did not hesitate much. Although he was too lazy to disclose the technique, the effect of the technique was indeed something that did not need to be kept secret, so he simply released part of it. Information about your own techniques.

"Quite simply, it's time."

Shenyuan tapped Mizuno Shiina's head in front of him, and then cut off one of its dry and rough hairs. Naturally, he and Igarashi's eyesight could easily locate the existence of this hair.

"like this."

Igarashi's eyes suddenly lit up with golden light, and there seemed to be some changes in the pupils inside. Even with the full force of his 'Buddha Eyes', he still didn't notice the changes in the process.

He took a long breath. Although there was no unnecessary change in his expression, his tone was full of unknown meaning: "What a great power... This has solved the doubts in my heart."

At the position where his eyes were locked, which was the palm of Shenyuan Yi, there was no trace of the hair there. And with his amazing eyesight under the blessing of Shikigami, he saw the broken hair flying outside. The hair suddenly appeared and returned to its original state.

Everything makes sense, but... this kind of spell is a bit too powerful. It seems that the other party has also mastered the reversal technique and the reversal technique. The scene just now is that he turned the hair Time has been reversed!
"Maybe I won't have to take action this time... If Masanobu knew his technique, he would definitely recruit him into the Fujiwara family at all costs, and what kind of magician would such a person be looking for? "

Thoughts were passing through Igarashi's mind rapidly, and he still maintained the 'Ear Not Hearing' technique to block sounds. He had decided to take this opportunity to conquer Shuten Douji and try his best to recruit him into the Fujiwara family.

If it succeeds, the Fujiwara family's big plan will definitely be advanced a lot!
