Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 Yao Ying (Demon Shadow)’s Demise! Do you even deserve to be my Shikigami?

Just as Lu Ren said.

His use of spatial abilities was shockingly terrible.

If Yakumo Yukari's understanding of her abilities was as precise as surgery,

Then…Lu Ren was an interrogator…this ability in his hands was more like a tool for tormenting prisoners!

…"I was wrong!"

"Please! Please!"

"Kind human lord!"

"Spare me! Spare me!"

Yao Ying (Demon Shadow) screamed tragically.

Her screams echoed through the night sky, spreading across the mountains!

Her flesh, as if being gnawed off, was disappearing inch by inch!

But even stranger was that!

Even though this stripped flesh, transported to an unknown place, her body could still feel it!

Just like the piece of flesh on her shoulder at the beginning!

It had clearly disappeared, but there was no blood from the wound!

Even stranger was that!

The vanished bodily tissue was still providing tactile feedback!

She could feel the damp earth, and that insects were crawling on that piece of flesh!

But!

She could only feel it, but she couldn't do anything!

This man's ability was simply too terrifying!

…"Do you know?"

"Today after school, on my way home by car."

"I saw a group of children tormenting a grasshopper."

"They tore off the grasshopper's legs, but they didn't kill it."

"The legless grasshopper struggled on the ground, while the children laughed joyfully."

"Do you know what I was thinking then?"

Lu Ren grabbed Yao Ying (Demon Shadow)'s calf, dragged her in front of him, and asked softly.

"Spare me!"

"I am willing to become…your Shikigami!"

"Willing to do…anything for you!"

"As long as…as long as you spare me!"

Yao Ying (Demon Shadow) wailed in despair, prostrating on the ground, repeatedly banging her head.

She looked imploringly at the Mountain God, who was serving as his "seat."

She yearned for the Mountain God to open his mouth and intercede for her.

But…how could she be the only Yokai with a difficult fate…the Mountain God, who couldn't even protect himself, closed his eyes, averting his gaze.

Was he not also begging Lu Ren to show mercy?

…"Haha…"

"You say Shikigami, I almost laugh…"

"What kind of existence are my Shikigami? What are you?"

"You don't even look in a mirror; do you even deserve to be my Shikigami?!"

Lu Ren couldn't help but laugh, scoffing at the Yokai before him.

Upon hearing these words,

The "seat" beneath his buttocks also began to tremble!

A tacit understanding had existed between Yokai and humans since ancient times.

Even the most heinous Yokai, if they became a Shikigami, could escape death!

However…

This long-standing rule was clearly not effective on this particular individual.

Although he didn't know what kind of great Yokai this person's "Shikigami" was,

One thing was certain: a Yokai like the Mountain God, who could be eliminated with a flick of a finger, clearly didn't qualify!

The vibrating "chair" was not comfortable to sit on.

"Why are you trembling?"

Lu Ren impatiently questioned.

The trembling immediately stopped... The revered Mountain God was so scared that he didn't even dare to shiver.

Ignoring the Mountain God, Lu Ren continued to look at the prey before him.

"I won't kill you..."

"Because sometimes, living is far more terrifying than death..."

"I will divide your body into pieces and teleport them to various parts of the world."

"Wilderness, underground..."

"Deep mountains, ocean depths..."

"Places you can imagine, places you don't know..."

"The sensations transmitted from these pieces of flesh..."

"Will be clearly conveyed to your brain."

"And it will continue until my anger subsides..."

As his words fell,

Lu Ren raised his finger and pierced Yao Ying (Demon Shadow)'s neck.

Everything below her neck was cruelly torn into thousands of pieces of flesh!

Then... swallowed by space rifts, completely consumed... "Hahahahaha!"

"Ah ha! Hahahahaha!"

Yao Ying (Demon Shadow), now just a head, suddenly burst into wild laughter.

Her hideous face twisted into a grotesque expression.

The tissue from the sole of her foot was teleported to an ant nest somewhere.

At this moment, countless ants were thanking the heavens for this gift of food.

Itchy!

The itch drove her crazy!

But she couldn't do anything!

Because her fingers were scattered all over the world!

These fingers couldn't reach the sole of her foot at all!

"Alright..."

"The game ends here..."

"If I don't go back soon, Sister Shizuka will be worried, right...?"

Lu Ren rose from the "seat," intending to leave.

But before he left, Lu Ren looked at the blood-stained sole of his shoe.

He stepped on the Mountain God's head and casually rubbed off the bloodstains.

Then... he turned elegantly and walked into the still-open space rift.

Just as he had arrived, he vanished before Yao Ying (Demon Shadow).

"Hahahahaha!"

"Ha! Haha!"

Yao Ying (Demon Shadow) was still laughing wildly, staring at the closing space rift.

But her blood-streaked eyes were overflowing from their sockets!

And the blood-covered Mountain God had long since fainted.

Many years later... when educating the new little Yokai not to harm humans,

The Mountain God still remembered that terrifying night.

That young man... and... Yao Ying (Demon Shadow), who was still laughing wildly to this day...
