Chapter 78: How Can My Daughter Always Be Soy Sauce?

  Thanks for "QOO379"'s reward!

  A deranged spirit that has lost its rationality will be unable to control its actions and will continue to wreak havoc everywhere until its existence is shattered.

  Cretia, the divine being and other spirit messengers in the venue saw that the originally controlled spirits suddenly emitted a black purple mist on their bodies, went mad and destroyed everything around them, and were at a loss.

  The onlookers who sensed something was amiss suddenly shrieked and fled the scene in a flurry.

  "Scarlett!"

  Cretia tried her best to control the Fire Cat Spirit that had fallen into chaos, but unfortunately Scarlett, who had fallen into a frenzy, didn't care about Cretia's orders and continued to wreak havoc with magic fire everywhere.

  The gods felt the eerie aura emanating from these spirits, and their doubts grew heavier.

  "This feeling... Restia!"

  From those dark purple mists, the gods could sense the presence of their contract spirit, Restia.

  "Could it be that Risty did all of this!?"

  On the other side, Asuna rushed into the venue and ran towards Kureha, asking Aizu beside her: "Aizu, what is a Berserk Healer?"

  "A possessing-type spirit that grants the attribute of Brrkr. It's not a high-ranking spirit, but once possessed, the spirit loses its sanity and will continue to fight non-stop until it disappears."

  "Is that so... It seems things have gotten a bit complicated."

  Having made up her mind, Mei grasped Aister's small hand tightly.

  "Aster, help me!"

  "Alright, I am sister's sword, everything as you wish."

  "The Queen of Cold Steel, the Holy Sword that Destroys the Devil God! --- This moment is for my sword!"

  As Meirin's mouth wove a spell of magical armor deployment, Ester's body transformed into a cloud of glittering powder and vanished.

  In the next instant, a long sword with ancient runes etched onto it appeared in Akane's hand, its blade shining with a white silver light.

  The blade bore an inscription in Elvish script: "Guardian of the Realm, Estel".

  "I'm terribly sorry, sister. The connection circuit with the 'main body' is currently interrupted, and this level of output is already the limit."

  Kenshin heard Estelle's voice as calm and collected as ever, but Akane could sense the apology in her heart.

  "That's enough! Estelle, let's go!"

  She raised her long sword, and Asuna seemed to be back in the scene of fighting a boss in SAO.

  "You don't think this level of chaos can awaken the Wind God, do you?"

  Embracing Yui and standing at the top of the clock tower not far from the venue, Yakumo Mukuro asked Restia who was floating in mid-air beside him.

  The raven-haired elf maiden seemed unperturbed.

  "Things will come step by step."

  "But——your spirit is gone now, and even your spiritual energy is gone. Can you still be useful with just that ordinary long sword?"

  Rastia was silent.

  "I will arrange more trials for him, this doesn't need you to worry about."

  "Don't play too much, your Spirit Master is much weaker than three years ago."

  Ever since winning the Spirit Sword Festival three years ago and making a wish to the Spirit King, Godo has been working with Restia to assassinate the Water Spirit King.

  It was later eroded by the darkness from another world, and at a critical moment, Rastasia used transfer magic to successfully escape with the god-man losing his memory of that period of time as a price, and since then they have been separated.

  The god who lost his memories of before and after assassinating the Spirit King has now also lost Rasetia, and his current strength has dropped by several levels.

  Yun Mo was just about to say something when the bundled-up clothes in his arms suddenly pointed at the venue and said, "Daddy look! Mommy!"

  Turning around, Bachiru Moku clearly saw that Akiranai was charging into the venue with a long sword in hand.

  When he arrived at this college city, Yayumi Sumi found that the "valve" of his originally restricted demon power release, which was only a small opening, seemed to have become larger.

  The amount of demonic energy that can be mobilized at one time is several times more than before.

  I believe that when I reconnect with Akane again, that restriction will completely disappear.

  It seems that Yakumo Sumeragi felt that Akane Minadzuki had a contract with another spirit besides her own.

  Because Seiren is the same person, Yakumo Suke can vaguely sense the existence of another spirit.

  Filled with sacred breath, yet entwined with an inescapable curse.

  It seems that the spirit, due to its heavy karma, was killed by countless spirits that had become vengeful spirits entwining her body, cursing the spirit itself and also cursing Akane as a spirit user.

  I think of a way to solve this problem. If the power of the boundary can be applied more skillfully, it should be possible to directly cut off the connection between the curse and the main body.

  Before that, it was only possible to temporarily slow down the activation of the curse. Fortunately, I can now partially grasp the 'Boundary of Fast and Slow'.

  But since I can sense that spirit, that spirit should also be able to sense me.

  "Ah——"

  Yui suddenly let out a loud cry, interrupting Hachiguma's train of thought.

  "——Mom is in danger!"

  Bā Yún Mò was about to rush up, but Jié Yī was faster, transforming into a flowing light and rushing towards the venue before Bā Yún Mò could move.

  Kizuna was transformed into Yatsumori's Shiki-gami, and Kudou now also possesses some very mysterious abilities.

  Apart from being able to borrow the power of the Eight Clouds Ink to launch a barrage, using some magic, it can also influence others' mental state with its own strength. If it uses its full force, it can even directly control people's minds in a short period of time.

  It seems to be because I used to be a psychological counseling AI.

  This ability was thoroughly understood by Yakumo Mukuro after which it immediately gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

  It seems similar to the ability of a certain superpower user called Shokuhou Misaki.

  Raise sword to block, then thrust and uppercut.

  After repelling a giant golem that was rushing towards her, Akane suddenly heard Claire's scream from not far in front of her.

  "Senpai! Danger!!"

  A strong gust of wind came from behind.

  Akane hastily turned around and was just about to raise her sword in defense when a flash of light suddenly appeared before her eyes.

  "Take a good look then—"

  The little girl who suddenly appeared and floated in front of Akane said in a low voice.

  "---- The power I got from Dad!"

  Slender white arms rose up, and waves of sky blue ripples undulated in the void.

  The enormous rock spirit howled and slammed down its thick arm right in front of Kudou's clothes, then——

  BOOM!!

  A water dragon appeared and directly submerged the rock spirit!

  "Deep Blue Love!!!"

  The originally rippling blue water pattern finally evolved into a huge magic array, the next moment, the magic array shattered like a broken mirror, and then a towering giant wave appeared abruptly!

  A group of crazed spirits that had been closing in on Akane let out a chorus of mournful wails as they were battered by the massive waves.

  Then, the huge wave suddenly stopped, and under everyone's incredulous gaze, it turned into a thick ice that froze the entire venue.

  In the quiet auditorium, the floating Kuiyi raised her right hand, and a small palm stretched out, clenched into a fist.

  In the instant of clenching fists, the solid ice shattered, and the frozen spirits also turned into points of light and disappeared in the sky!

  "Great, great, awesome——"

  "Who is that little girl?"

  "Is it an elf?"

  Meiying covered her mouth and looked at the clothes in front of her, tears streaming down her face.

  Turning around, Yui rushed into Akane's arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

  "Mom—"
