At night, the non-people of Kyoto are partying as usual.

The night belongs to the demons.

On the empty Suzaku Avenue, several strange-shaped monsters walked slowly.

They wantonly exuded demonic energy, spreading all around.

There were all kinds of demonic qi everywhere, forming a thick fog that could almost be materialized to the point that ordinary people could see it.

In the dwellings, demonic energy invaded the houses of the civilians, dragging them into an endless nightmare·······

From time to time, there was a scream, and then it was quickly suppressed, so as not to attract the attention of the monsters outside.

At the same time, people who are deeply aware of what is happening outside, fearful and panicked, are constantly providing this kind of power.

At this time, the pervasive fear will envelop the earth.

All the youkai who participated in this event will gain this power to a greater or lesser extent depending on the degree of their participation········

Fear comes from the heart of fear, and this power has a referential object.

At this moment, the people who are hiding in their homes and shivering in their beds are undoubtedly afraid of the yokai that exist in Kyoto.

Therefore, all the monsters who participated in this feast can get a piece of the pie.

Fear continues to flow from all directions, slowly increasing the strength of all the monsters.

Absorbing these fears, and feeling their own presence increase, the monsters became more and more excited.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-··········"

"Ahhhhhh···········h

The screams were incessant.

The hot-blooded monsters quickly recovered their nature, and those who like to drink drink, those who steal, and those who steal continue to be scary.

Of course, there are also youkai who like to eat people, and from time to time they rush into a certain house, followed by a burst of screams and creepy chewing sounds.

This is Kyoto at night, a city full of ghosts and ghosts.

Human beings are not really the only masters of this land.

Monsters, gods, demons, elves, ghosts, necromancy·········· This is a real Hyakki Night Walk! The Heian era was not peaceful at all!

Rustling, straw sandals walking on the ground, a line of red and white shrine maidens, calmly walking in Kyoto.

The Dao condensed spiritual power of the Demon Breaking Arrow shot out, and everywhere it passed, whether it was a monster or a demon power, it was purified.

This group of witches, with calm steps and resolute expressions, led by the shrine maidens wearing armor and holding long swords, marched all the way to the city.

The sound of a cumper came from the air, and a demon-breaking arrow burst into the air with a brilliant flame of light, burning away a large area of shadows.

It was a bat youkai, originally under the cover of darkness, silently passing through the air, intending to sneak up on several ninjas who were approaching the team.

It's a pity that in front of the shrine maiden who fights with youkai all year round, there is no difference between fighting with open fire.

"Mistress Tsuiko, the monsters in this area have been eliminated."

The shrine maiden in armor was slashing a horned oni with a head into meat sauce, and then a flash of light flashed on the sword, completely purifying it.

Hearing the response of the witch under his command, the leader of the witch named Tsuiko just bowed his head slightly.

She is the leader of the entire island country, all the shrine maidens, and Tsuiko, who is known as the strongest shrine maiden in the world.

As a shrine maiden of the city, that is, she was born as a wild shrine maiden all over the country, and embarked on a different path from ordinary shrine maidens.

Usually shrine maidens, due to the weakness of human physical strength, chose to rely on spells and bows and arrows to fight, and a series of genres developed from this·······

But Tsuiko is different!

She put on her armor, picked up her long sword, took the lead, and rushed to the gathering place of the monsters, opening her eyes wide, and once played a drama like seven in and seven out·········

The witch in the eyes of outsiders, Yamato Nadeshiko, moving like a peony, quiet like a lily···········

Tsuiko in the eyes of the witch, heavy armor and long sword, moving like a mad rabbit, as quiet as the abyssal sea···········

If she hadn't been practicing the demon-breaking spiritual power commonly used by witches, she would have almost been a Warring States Female Sword Saint dressed in the cloak of a witch··········

Such an alternative among the witches, but she has become the leader of the witches, and I have to say that her own charm is also unique.

She is heroic, no less generous than a man, and has a gentle and considerate side, acts in an orderly manner, and is very reliable, which is why her subordinates trust her.

The shrine maidens in Japan can be roughly divided into the Kamiko and Ichiko lines.

The god son system, as the name suggests, is the son of the god, and worships the gods in the shrine.

Of course, Shinto is a spirit worship, and animals and plants can become gods, similar to the weasel in northeastern China.

Most of these shrines are dedicated to these spirits, and their strength is not very strong.

Some even enshrine human-friendly yokai.

But here, the boundary between monsters and elves is sometimes not insurmountable.

The shrine maidens of the god son line, there are really many really powerful gods behind them, and they are the spokesmen of the gods.

The city is a shrine maiden all over the country.

There may not be shrines, but most of them are in the countryside, where various exorcisms are carried out and commissions are also accepted.

They sometimes work part-time as doctors.

They often do not believe in gods, and sometimes even drive away the gods of calamity and calamity who are the party to the disaster.

This is the city lineage, and there are many of them, but there are also very powerful shrine maidens.

Tsuiko is the latter.

She was born with very powerful spiritual powers, which attracted youkai and ate her relatives.

The majestic spiritual power that rose to the sky purified the attacking monsters on the spot, and also attracted mages passing by.

The mage rescued her, sealed her psychic powers, and sent her to a retired wild witch to be raised.

When she grew up, the talented Tsuiko stood out, and after a series of arduous trainings, she embarked on a journey to travel around the country to exorcise demons.

Her name as the strongest shrine maiden is forged from the corpses of double-digit large youkai and more than a thousand elite youkai.

Along the way, unconsciously, because she was attracted by her charm, more and more shrine maidens gathered around her, and unconsciously, a group with shrine maidens as the main body was formed··········

The world suddenly discovered that another powerful demon-slaying organization had formed.

At this time, shrine maidens were not considered official priesthoods, and even the major shrines did not leave a structure for shrine maidens.

In a way, the status of the shrine maiden is far inferior to that of the priest, which is also a form of discrimination·········

And the formation of this shrine maiden organization has greatly expanded the influence of shrine maidens, and their reputation must be taken seriously even by the local nobles with military power.

All this is regarded as the glory that this strongest witch brings to the group of shrine maidens.

They were proud of her.

However, behind this seemingly beautiful thing, there are also hidden dangers.

There is a hidden opposition between the shrine maidens of the god and the city line.

The former has gods that must be worshipped, and if necessary, they must obey the instructions of the gods, and even Tsuiko's orders have to be disobeyed.

The shrine maiden of the gods' line is actually the wife of the gods, and their bodies and minds belong to the private property of the gods.

The latter did not have a god to worship, but in fact they were not descendants of Tsuiko, and most of them were accustomed to all kinds of darkness, and it was impossible for them to truly obey all orders unconditionally.

What's more, these witches come from different backgrounds, and they are involved in all aspects, forming an invisible network of relationships.

The interests of all parties are involved, and even if they themselves do not want to, they are forced to engage in various games.

After all, a shrine maiden always has a teacher, parents, brothers, and friends, and it is impossible for a shrine maiden with strong mana and outstanding skills to appear out of thin air········· In this day and age, it was expensive to train a shrine maiden.

Since the team has grown, the strength seems to have increased, but it is not as pure as before.

Tsuiko is mixed in the middle, and sometimes it really feels like I'm exhausted.

"The only people who will really obey me unconditionally are probably the people from the Demon Eradication Village········

Demon Removal Village, which is the village that Cuizi's teacher has been guarding, was passed down to her before she died, and is one of the few descendants of Cuizi.

That village is full of demon-slaying ninjas, who are accustomed to destroying monsters with various weapons, and it is a well-known demon slayer village.

Silently sighing in her heart, Tsuiko gave the next order.

"Go ahead, leave these monsters alone, and don't forget that our target is the black witch who is on the run."

Not long ago, a shrine maiden broke into their station, broke the barrier that Tsuiko had placed, took a sealed Calamity Stone, and infiltrated Kyoto.

Right now, they are following the trail and chasing all the way.

Along the way, this team of dozens of world-class shrine maidens, escorted by a group of demon slaying ninjas, walked through the battlefield, walked through the barren mountains and mountains, eliminated countless monsters of all sizes, and even leveled several monster villages, and finally caught this guy's tail.

All kinds of spirit runes floated in the air, filled with spells that broke the demonic spiritual power, and reacted violently with the demonic energy that permeated the air··········

Booming, making flashes and explosions along the way, they opened their hearts and gradually advanced into the interior of Kyoto.
