Now there is only one thing on the eyes of the Devious Spirit: the Jewel of Four Souls. Because if the seal on his body is to be completely opened, he must rely on the power of the Jewel. So, no matter whether what the one in front of him is telling the truth or not, he has to try it. But if these demons dared to lie to him, he wouldn't mind letting them have a taste of his power.
"My Lord, the one we are going to deal with this time is very powerful, as countless have already died in his hands."
"What's the difference between that little monster and an ant?" Magatsuhi said, with a hint of resentment in his words. "Is it worth noting to kill them?"
Leading the way in front, the Bat yōkai hastily apologized. "Yes, yes! How can this kind of stuff compare to you, My Lord!"
There was a flattering and fawning smile on his face. This time, the reason they were able to convince the Devious Spirit that the Jewel of Four Souls was in Sebastian's hands was mainly because they let him refine a weapon. Not only does it look the same as the Jewel of Four Souls, but it also perfectly imitates its aura.
When the three of them appeared in front of the Devious Spirit with items contaminated with the aura of the jewel, they naturally deceived him and piqued his interest. To complete the plan more perfectly, the Bat yōkai began to tell him all the information he knew about Sebastian.
"Moreover, this Sebastian even said that he is the god of death, the god who ends the lives of monsters!"
"Shut up," Devious Spirit said.
The Bat yōkai immediately covered his mouth. He knew that if the other party wanted to kill him, he only needed to move a finger. But he was secretly happy, knowing that Sebastian was doomed.
"Sebastian, you will die without a place to die!"

In the village, Sebastian was conducting further research, and the gasification effect of the mist monster could already be applied to troops. He could also create soldiers who could gasify their bodies and travel through various complex terrains, which held great strategic significance.
In the short period of less than two weeks since Sebastian came to the village, this slightly dilapidated place had become full of vitality and developed rapidly, turning into an extremely prosperous city. The biggest obstacle restricting the economic development of every place is the wandering monsters, as every monster attack causes huge economic losses and casualties.
In this chaotic era, only with enough power can one have the opportunity to develop, but this is also a very contradictory problem. The economic development of this small village was very poor, so they did not have the resources to hire enough demon exterminators to ensure their progress. This made them helpless in the face of monster disasters, and the economy was hit even harder, creating a vicious circle.
But after Sebastian altered the village, the monsters couldn't get close at all; no matter how powerful they were, they couldn't match the high-tech weapons. What's more, Sebastian's technological power completely changed the production methods in the village, increasing their production efficiency more than tenfold. It could be said that this place surpassed any town in the world.
And at this moment, Sebastian heard a pleasant female voice behind him.
"Brother Sebastian, are you ready?" Sebastian turned his head. It was Kikyo.
Kikyo and Kaede had invited Sebastian to stroll around the town today. He thought there was nothing wrong with taking a proper rest, so he agreed to their invitation.
At this moment, Kikyo had changed into a new set of clothes, a white kimono. Her long black hair was coiled up and fixed with a hairpin, and her face was lightly made up, giving off a sacred feeling.
"Alright," Sebastian nodded. "I'm going to change clothes right now, so wait a moment."
"Finally, I can go shopping in the street!" Behind Kikyo, the energetic Kaede said impatiently.
Although it should be winter now, the village had no feeling of cold at all. The village had devices that allowed the temperature to be adjusted freely, so it wouldn't be cold in winter.
"Where's Sister Tsubaki?" Kaede turned her head toward the gate, but she hadn't seen Tsubaki for the past few days.
"She probably went out to expel demons and make money," Sebastian said with a smile. Soon, they were walking down the street, slowly.
"Sir Sebastian, good afternoon!"
"Thank you, Mister Sebastian!"
"Thanks to Sir Sebastian, the living conditions in our village are getting better and better!"
"Long live Sir Sebastian!"
During their walk, countless villagers paid the highest respect to Sebastian. Because after he came to the village, the nearby monsters were wiped out, and the village developed rapidly, attracting many businessmen to invest in Kaede Village.
Sebastian's high-tech equipment not only protected their safety but also provided convenience in daily life. In previous winters, crops couldn't grow at all. But now, even in winter, crops could grow rapidly, not only regardless of season but also several times faster than before. The whole village had been reborn like a phoenix from the ashes. Therefore, in the eyes of the villagers, Sebastian held high prestige and was greatly respected.
Looking at the people passing by, Sebastian smiled.
"Is this the village?! It's different from what I imagined. Many of the buildings are new, clearly recently constructed. What are these buildings? I've never seen anything like them!" Miyatsu took the wine gourd from his waist, took a sip, and let the slightly hot liquid linger on the tip of his tongue.
At the same time, he narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the village. He had heard of this village, but it was supposedly just a remote, insignificant settlement. This was different from the situation before him. There were high-rise buildings beyond his understanding, and even vehicles without horses driving on the streets.
In this world, cars hadn't been invented yet, so Miyatsu and Master Miroku had no idea what they were. They could only guess that they were some kind of unique instruments.
