The Sword Deity in Tokyo

Chapter 203: Spirit Immobilizing Talisman

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Staying in the darkroom, Kimura Kazuki was just planning to admire the serene night view outside and enjoy living a rich person’s life when Natsuna Yamanaka showed up.

Like television, the computer displayed drops of clean, white snowflakes. The picturesque scenery that followed mirrored the signature scene in “The Ring.”

The dark soil underneath the tree quivered, and a pale arm shot through from below suddenly.

Kimura Kazuki seemed to have not taken the shock well as he fell back onto his bottom, his face pale, and his voice trembling as he said, “Specter...”

He was taken aback slightly. The specter was completely capable of killing him directly, but she chose to make such a big scene. Therefore, his guess must be right. Of course, Natsuna Yamanaka’s habit of torturing others to watch them suffer was not to be forgotten.

However, when a person dies and transforms into a demon, though their personalities might change substantially, they are basically driven by resentment. Generally speaking, those who like to kill but do not find pleasure in torturing people, like Ito Shunji of Akichi High School, will retain their conscience even after death. But for those who went to Akichi High School solely for hiding purposes, they obviously would not want to reveal their identities.

From here, it could be seen that even if a person transforms into a demon unless they were already psychologically abnormal, they generally would not opt to torture people but to kill them directly. Unless... there is a benefit in torturing them.

To induce fear, horror movies naturally tint the atmosphere. But then reality is different from a movie. According to the Combat Department, the demons they encountered in the past were generally very firm, killing whoever they saw without torturing them. Under situations like Natsuna Yamanaka’s, demons would just kill, unless there was a special circumstance.

That moment, on the computer screen, the movie that Natsuna Yamanaka starred in had reached its high.

A horrifically nauseating face was pressed against the screen. It seemed like it was about to force itself right through to the other side of the screen. The pair of black, hollow eyes stared straight into him. In the next moment, Natsuna Yamanaka swung her head at the screen from her side of the computer screen.

Bang!—

The loud noise sliced through the atmosphere, and the entire computer table shook from the impact.

At this instant, Kimura Kazuki had scurried all the way into the balcony from ‘fear’... Screams of terror escaping from his lips.

He used the Kageyama Kiai Style to shape the scream so that only Natsuna Yamanaka could hear it. At this very moment, Natsuna Yamanaka had already forcefully squeezed herself through the computer screen...

Witnessing the entire scene, Kimura Kazuki did not stop his act.

Natsuna Yamanaka got on all fours. Instead of walking over, she crawled over in slo-mo, and weird noises came from her with each step. It was a noise of bones breaking under heavy items, it was a sound that made hairs stand on end.

“Don’t... Don’t come over... You better not come over!” Kimura Kazuki’s voice was high-pitched as he said it, having nowhere else to retreat anymore.

As Natsuna Yamanaka gradually crawled over, Kimura Kazuki stared at her bruised arm which was shaped like a machete... her fingers were long gone. He quickly understood that this was the weapon used to chop at the waist of the victim.

Natsuna Yamanaka clearly did not know what Kimura Kazuki was thinking. Her lifeless, empty eyes stared straight at him, her lips peeled apart and formed a crooked grin, and a burst of evil laughter sounded from within. Evidently, Kimura Kazuki’s elf-like face twisting in horror was feeding her pleasure.

While thinking, Natsuna Yamanaka inched her face forward so that her victim was directly facing the fear of death.

Then, in the next moment, Natsuna Yamanaka’s vision changed... Though it was still flat, she quickly discovered that she was looking at the beautiful night view outside the balcony instead. In a split second, she recovered and realized that she was picked up by the neck?

For the first time, confusion was present on Natsuna Yamanaka’s scary, distorted face.

“Gotcha.” Kimura Kazuki smiled a little.

Looking at Kimura Kazuki’s smile, Natsuna Yamanaka was lost. What a beautiful smile. But she quickly regained composure and wondered why she was not scared of her anymore... Then why was she showing fear earlier? Natsuna Yamanaka’s mind might be slow, but she knew that something was wrong.

“If the person you are to kill is not scared of you, then you must flee immediately. Do not hesitate, quickly hide on the internet, and wait for my instructions for the next step!”

Thinking of the man’s words, Natsuna Yamanaka did not hesitate at all. Her entire body transformed into a cloud of black smoke and flew toward the computer screen.

“Spirit Immobilize!”

At the next moment, Natsuna Yamanaka froze while floating in mid-air. The lump of black smoke transformed into the horrifying demon from earlier and fell onto the bed. In that instant, Natsuna Yamanaka could not move, she could not even try to wriggle free. Immediately, she appeared frightened.

Seeing this, Kimura Kazuki eyed her faintly. “Don’t use your terrifying face to appear terrified, you look even more terrifying.”

What she used was a Spirit Immobilizing Talisman.

In the past, Spirit Immobilizing Talismans came in two versions.

The first version of the Spirit Immobilizing Talisman was developed by a teacher in the Enchanted Talisman Division. As the name implies, it has spirit immobilizing effects, but if the demon has special means, there is still the possibility of it escaping. The second generation of the spirit immobilizing talisman is the latest version. It was developed by himself, and it was also the first enchanted talisman he had ever developed.

At that time, he was in his third year in the Spiritual Academy, and the number of demons in the country were multiplying wildly. Cultivators in the Combat Department were fighting off demons all around the nation every single day, but news of demons escaping still came infrequently. So, he spent an entire year and finally developed the second generation of the Spirit Immobilizing Talisman.

Back then, he often observed the demons held captive and discovered that spirits naturally possessed a conscience. Demons in their early stages, on the other hand, did not, and their thought process was a state of chaos. This tickled his curiosity, and experiments after experiments later, he learned that the reason behind spirits having consciences was that their hearts were innocent with no harmful intent. They simply wanted to fulfill their wishes.

So after transforming into ghosts, they can still retain the purity of the soul.

Demons, however, held large amounts of resentment before death. This sort of intense, negative build-up of emotion will expel any kindness from within. And she found out that this kindness is actually remnants of one’s soul.

The remaining spirit will remain attached to the dead body for a long, long time.

Therefore, an idea struck him. He searched for the demon’s body and acquired the remaining spirit, and with reiki as the main element, he remodeled the Spirit Immobilizing Talisman with a talisman pen. From there, he found out that the newly created Spirit Immobilizing Talisman could completely immobilize demons. No matter what evil tricks they attempt, they could not escape. It was as if they were tied down with celestial ropes.

Of course, the second generation Spirit Immobilizing Talisman had its own shortcomings. It was such that Spirit Immobilizing Talismans made with a remaining soul only worked on the corresponding demon of the body. However, this little weakness could easily be tweaked and was no big deal. After all, the Combat Department was divided into many smaller teams, and each team was instructed to capture specific demons... With the discovery of the Spirit Immobilizing Talisman, their efficiency soared sky-high.

Subsequently, after the development of the second generation of Spirit Immobilizing Talisman and a large amount of practice and commitment later, he managed to top the charts as the person with the most contribution value. He became the most well-known person in the Spiritual Academy. After that, he made many new friends, and slowly no one came up with new nicknames behind his back.

Every time he visited other departments, he would receive warm welcomes that took her by surprise, making him feel flattered. His lone wolf-like habit was also known by others as having a personality.

This situation made him realize how realistic the world was.
