I Became the Academy’s Genius Shikigami Summoner – Chapter 300

“Death Transmigration.”

The shadow that shot up like a blade was aimed at Byakuganwa’s body.

Byakuganwa glanced at it and created a blazing flame, but oddly enough, the shadow did not shrink at all and hit him as it was.

Guooo!

It did not pierce him physically. I realized in that instant that my shadow had pierced Byakuganwa’s essence in some other realm.

「. . .𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙨!」

Soon, the curse of Death Transmigration began to flow through the shadow that connected me and him, and only then did Byakuganwa realize something was wrong and struggled violently.

Grooooan-!

Byakuganwa, who covered his head with both hands and kept stepping back.

The flames he had created had disappeared without a trace, and his body, which had been larger than a building, was gradually decreasing in size.

“D-Did it work?”

“Yes. But not yet.”

If this was all it took to defeat him, it would be a waste of the name great yokai.

In fact, his level was 82, and he was not inferior to Xue Laifu or Taotie, who were close to the top of the yokai in the shamanic world.

『In many ways, we had the advantage because of the 「𝙚𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 」the  inside.』

Guimei was right.

But I was not worried. After going through all that, we were not pushovers either.

Thud!

Swish!

As I concentrated my energy, the ghost hand of Guimei in my right arm began to show itself little by little.

Now that we had confirmed that our attacks were effective, there was no reason to hesitate any longer.

“Wow, even such a big shot is now familiar to me.”

“. . .Birds of a feather flock together.”

My colleagues also began to line up in front of him, following me, and the exorcists next to us looked at us in disbelief.

“A-Are you going to confront him? That thing?”

After all, with a little exaggeration, a great yokai of this level is close to being an existence that cannot be confronted with a human body.

What’s more, to their eyes, who have not even reached the special grade, we must have looked like moths that have chosen to self-destruct.

However, this was a very natural choice.

“Isn’t that an exorcist?”

“. . . . . . .”

Leaving him alone, unable to answer rashly, I spread my shadow wide again and took a step forward.

Then, Byakuganwa also began to rage greatly.

Guooo!

Kwaang!

As he brought his hands together and slammed the ground, the ground shook in all directions as if an earthquake had occurred, and fierce flames rose.

The flames began to form a circular shape, starting from the center where we were, and as they repeated, a superheated dome formed, covering even the sky.

“Th-This is. . . . . . !”

Even the steel frames of the collapsed buildings were burning red-hot, and the heat was so intense that some of them melted.

The exorcists trapped inside were just breathing hard and busy protecting themselves.

「. . .𝘼𝙢𝙖𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜.」

If there is a superheated hell in the afterlife, would it look like this?

That was how different the power he was emitting was, and it was on a level I had never seen before.

However, even in the midst of it all, the eyes of the party members towards him did not waver at all.

“Can we do it?”

“. . .Of course. I’ve been gathering as much as I can since earlier.”

As Seo Ji-an gestured, thick smoke began to pour out of the ground where the flames were rising, making a deafening noise.

Crackle!

Screech-!

It was the sound of fire and water meeting, and the stream of water that Seo Ji-an brought in did not stop there and gradually began to take shape, forming a huge sphere.

“. . .I’m sorry for him, but I can’t help but say that the compatibility was not good.”

Of course, ordinary streams of water would evaporate in front of Byakuganwa’s flames and disappear without form.

However, the nature of the water that Seo Ji-an handles has already reached a level that is hard for me to imagine.

It showed a perfect confrontation with Byakuganwa’s flames, and soon the streams of water gathered from all sides spread out and completely disintegrated the superheated dome that had trapped us.

Screech!

Puhwaak━!

“Ack, gasp!”

“. . .I-I thought I was going to die.”

Even Cheong Gil-yeong, an elder of the Cheong family, said so, so I could tell how the other exorcists must have felt without even asking.

Byakuganwa also seemed to be taken aback by our unusual power, so it was time to counterattack.

“If there is a problem on the other side as well, there is no time to spare.”

“. . .Should we just go all out?”

Cheong Juhwa immediately took out the Blue-White Sword and began to chant the mantra of Cheong-iljin, and Arietta ran towards him.

And I, with an advanced spell, decided to protect it and examine its essence from a more fundamental perspective.

「𝙄𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙜𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙚, 𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙜𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙣𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨?」

Of course, it would be close to a one-dimensional thought, but I was convinced that it would be somewhat consistent in its essence.

Also, that’s why I felt that the curse of Death Transmigration, which was shot using the power of the Shadow Assimilation trait, had hit him directly to some extent.

「𝙄𝙩 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙨 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙔𝙤𝙤 𝙃𝙖-𝙤𝙣’𝙨 𝘼𝙣𝙩𝙞-𝘿𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙩. . . . . . .」

Then, what kind of power does my Shadow Assimilation trait have?

There was no choice but to figure it out through trial and error.

“Secret Curse of Fear, Bushin-two, Hwandoyeonpa.”

First of all, I confirmed that the curse of Death Transmigration had been inflicted on him, so I poured out curses indiscriminately, borrowing the power of the karma value in a similar way.

Of course, I did not forget to infuse the power of Shadow Assimilation, which had changed in the meantime.

Zzzing!

Swish!

Guooo-!

This time, too, Byakuganwa seemed to be in pain and raged, and I was able to realize one strange fact among them.

「𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙩?」

Oddly enough, he has not been able to defend against my attacks since earlier.

Most of what I shot earlier were intermediate curses, and they were not attacks that he could not block.

However, he was trying to block Yoo Ha-on’s more powerful spells, but instead, he was being hit by my attacks in vain.

「. . . . . . .」

It has only been about 10 minutes since the battle began, but he has now grasped our traits to some extent.

And the one that showed the greatest effect among them was Yoo Ha-on’s technique containing the power of Anti-Demon.

It was understandable that he focused on blocking it, but even so, he must have wanted to avoid getting hit by my attacks.

「𝙈𝙖𝙮𝙗𝙚, 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙣’𝙩 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠 𝙞𝙩?」

It was absurd, but such a thought came to mind.

And if such a guess is true, it will be deeply related to the newly changed power of my Shadow Assimilation trait.

“Cheong-iljin!”

Jolrok!

Kwagagagak-!

Whether she was tireless or not, Byakuganwa staggered and stepped back after being hit by Cheong Juhwa’s Cheong-iljin, which had been deployed for the second time.

And behind him was Arietta, who had joined forces with Seo Ji-han once again and was summoning a shower of blood.

Ping!

Kwagagagak!

Guooo-!

As the damage accumulated, the huge body gradually shrank, and unlike the first time when it looked down on the high-rise building, its height was now less than half of its original height.

Needless to say, our firepower was overwhelming his personal strength.

“Nine Revolving Heavens Wave!”

“Jumaseongcheon.”

Sophia’s grand spell, containing her enormous spiritual power, hit Byakuganwa, and a beam of light shot out from Yoo Ha-on towards him, who had collapsed helplessly.

A restraining technique beyond the norm, used by Ho-chung in the shamanic world.

The exhausted Byakuganwa did not even think of blocking it, and he was eventually completely restrained and put on the defensive.

“. . .I think it’s almost over?”

“Don’t be careless. He could be looking for a moment’s gap at any time.”

However, no one denied the fact that the outcome had almost been decided.

And at that point, Seo Ji-an, who quickly analyzed the situation, opened her mouth.

“Let’s divide the personnel. There is no need for all of us to be tied to him anymore.”

“. . .Then?”

“We will leave a few people to finish him off, and the rest will have to support the incident in the northeast.”

That is definitely the top priority now.

And knowing his identity, I was able to easily distinguish between the personnel who should stay and those who should move.

“Seo Ji-an, Sophia, and I will move like this.”

Yong-yeonshin is a great yokai that appears in Lake Cheongpung, which covers an area of 67 square kilometers.

Seo Ji-an, who handles the nature of water, was essential because it was such an unfavorable terrain for humans, and Sophia, who could ignore environmental constraints and hit the enemy with her exceptional spiritual power, was helpful.

“. . .Junior, will that be enough?”

“We are not at a stage where we can rest assured either. Can we leave the rest to you?”

Arietta and Yoo Ha-on nodded at my words, and at the same time, the elders who were recovering their spiritual power in the back responded to it.

“It’s hard to believe, but it seems that you have grown even more than when you confronted Bi-gang. Leave this place to us and go quickly.”

“. . .There is nothing more shameful than being scared of such an exhausted guy.”

The policy had been decided, so there was no need to hesitate.

Seo Ji-an, Sophia, and I flew into the sky with the help of Black Yin and Black Bird, and tried to obtain information about the situation in Lake Cheongpung while fingering the various communicators we had.

However, I did not hear anything worth using.

I could only know that it was difficult to even approach him, who was hiding deep in the lake, and that the situation on the scene was not very good.

「. . .𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙤-𝙝𝙖 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙣 𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙚.」

I do not know who the exorcists blocking Lake Cheongpung are, but it was predictable that they would be struggling a lot now that a lot of power had been put into Byakuganwa.

Moreover, Yong-yeonshin is a yokai that becomes more and more difficult to deal with the more you leave it alone. As someone who knows a little bit about him, I could not help but worry.

“. . .A storm is coming.”

Even though there was still a considerable distance to Lake Cheongpung, an unusual change in the atmosphere welcomed us.

Sophia, who has sharp senses, and Seo Ji-an, who can handle the nature itself, stared at the front with hardened faces and said.

“I’m not sure, but he’s stronger than the guy earlier.”

“. . .But we have to go.”

There is no point in worrying about the aftermath. We will leave the other side to our remaining colleagues and first block him somehow.

In that way, we were finally able to reach our destination, Lake Cheongpung, after an hour of flying.

Faced with countless whirlwinds covering the sky and an enormous energy dormant in the center.
