I have an infinite number of shikigami-Chapter 12 - 10. This is my Innate Divine Strength.

Dark and silent, just the two of them.

Such a perfect setting shouldn't be wasted.

Kasahara Asuka pondered a bit, preparing to give Fujiwara Reya another strong dose.

Once he completely becomes her lapdog, she'll slowly strip him down and figure out why her sister has her eyes on him.

Just then, a faint noise came from the reception room, as if something had fallen to the floor.

A cool breeze blew in from outside the building, through the glass window, making a whining sound.

Sounded like someone was crying.

Kasahara Asuka glanced at the pitch-black reception room and then frowned, "A mid-level Spider Demon?"

"Huh?"

Fujiwara Reya was a bit confused.

If that's a mid-level Spider Demon, then what about the bald guy from before... who was that unlucky soul?

Kasahara Asuka turned to look at him, "Didn't you say the Spider Demon was already gone?"

"...Nonsense."

Fujiwara Reya helplessly shrugged.

He couldn't explain.

If he said he just killed an upper-level one, then he'd have to explain how he did it. Wouldn't that be even more troublesome?

Kasahara Asuka suspiciously stared at him, unable to resist asking, "What level are you currently at?"

"...No, can't, can't,"

"Can't say it out?"

"I can't practice enchantments..."

Hearing this, Kasahara Asuka pouted as if she was wronged.

What the heck... a guy who's not even a lower-level priest, why is her sister investigating him?

"Well, Asuka," Fujiwara Reya pointed at the door, "that thing is about to come out. What should we do?"

"Just hide behind," Kasahara Asuka waved her hand nonchalantly, "let me handle it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl took out a basic Spirit Talisman and sprinkled it at the reception room's door. Then, her fair fingertips formed a quick seal.

'Kotodama: Barrier!'

With a delightful chant, a pentagram with blue light flashed on the ground, the Spirit Talisman merged into the formation, forming a nearly azure barrier covering the entire reception room.

As soon as the barrier was completed, a black Spider Demon sprang from the doorway, crashing right into the barrier.

"Bang!"

A dull thud sounded as the barrier trembled a bit and restored itself.

The Spider Demon was knocked to the ground, got back up, and glared menacingly with its eight glossy green eyes at the humans outside, its mouth splitting open to reveal sharp fangs.

Fujiwara Reya was full of curiosity as he looked at Kasahara Asuka.

He knew about Shintoism's enchantments and talismans; his system had them too, but he just couldn't use them...

Those things, well, their power is about that much, not much stronger than his fist, but the way people use them and their style are just cool!

The Spider Demon raised two of its front legs high, its eight eyes glowing with a ghostly green light as it spewed a green poisonous mist from its mouth.

Compared to the bald guy before, this one seems less like a demon and more like a ghost.

On its ugly, decaying face, green blood and red flesh drooped slowly, adhering to spindly membranes, its gigantic eyeballs protruding outward, filled with hatred and resentment.

"Hiss!"

"So ugly!"

Fujiwara Reya commented on its look, asking the girl beside him, "Asuka, hurry up with the next step."

"Oh, hold on!"

Kasahara Asuka opened her bag to rummage through it.

Inside the reception room, the Spider Demon opened its mouth wide, spewing dark green venom against the barrier.

A few bizarre sounds hissed.

Where the venom touched the barrier, a dense smoke rose. Once the smoke cleared, it was clear to see an almost transparent area again; if the Spider Demon sprayed twice more, perhaps the barrier wouldn't hold.

"Asuka," Fujiwara Reya urged, "hurry up, the barrier won't last long."

Just as he finished speaking, the Spider Demon sprayed more venom, and within the pungent smoke, the barrier trembled on the verge of collapse.

"Stop rushing me..." Kasahara Asuka anxiously rummaged through her bag but couldn't find the Pardon Talisman meant for extermination.

"I clearly brought it when I left this morning..."

"How could it have disappeared..."

"Ah, so annoying..."

The girl stomped in place anxiously, eventually emptying her bag, and its contents clattered to the floor.

A small mirror, lip balm, makeup bag, book and notebook, various pens and clips, hairbands, a few pieces of gum, a pair of white knee-high socks, some paper cranes...

"I brought it, I'm sure I did..."

Kasahara Asuka directly squatted down, her hands scrambling over the scattered items.

It was dark, without lights. She could only rely on touch, while Fujiwara Reya, with his good eyesight, immediately saw that there wasn't any Pardon Talisman among her things.

"Dropping the ball at a critical moment, such behavior can really screw over teammates..." Fujiwara Reya rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly.

"Crash!"

The Spider Demon broke through the barrier's defense, spewing eerie green flames from its mouth as it rushed toward the two of them.

Guess it's up to me... Fujiwara Reya took a step forward, not quickly, but steadily.

Taking down a mid-level demon with pure physical prowess might sound shocking, but without releasing demonic power, no one would doubt his identity.

Besides, both Shinto and Buddhism have special physical training methods. If questioned, he could just say he's trained in physical arts.

In an instant, the terrifying Spider Demon charged, raising a sharp front claw like a black dagger toward the boy's temple.

Fujiwara Reya didn't dodge.

He directly met the spider leg with both hands, tightly gripping it, and in a flash, he found the joint and forcefully snapped it.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound.

Just like breaking crab legs with your hands while eating crabs.

"Thud."

The Spider Demon's body twitched, its other front leg kneeling directly on the ground.

That blurred, fleshy face turned directly at Fujiwara Reya, ignoring the body's pain, and opened its bloody mouth at his head.

"Bang!"

Fujiwara Reya landed a heavy punch on the Spider Demon's chin.

The chin snapped upward violently, its two rows of teeth shattering into countless tiny pieces.

Its head spun with a buzzing sound, and before the Spider Demon could recover, Fujiwara Reya grabbed its other front leg, neatly snapped it again with the sound of bones breaking, and then fiercely kicked the Spider Demon's abdomen with his right foot.

The kick was both fierce and precise, the Spider Demon's furry belly burst open, its colorful entrails scattered all over the place.

"Uhuu~"

Completely subjected to abuse, the Spider Demon squeezed out its last bit of resistance, opening its remaining half of broken white teeth towards the boy's thigh.

Fujiwara Reya twisted his waist on the spot, spinning his body into a flying kick.

His right foot, bringing a whistling wind, kicked heavily at the Spider Demon's temple.

Instantly, its thick neck forcibly snapped by an unreasonable brute force, the horrifying spider head swung violently, dangling at an extremely odd angle from its neck.

This all happened in just three seconds.

The Spider Demon, once fierce and sinister, was now left with only a slightly twitching body as evidence of its existence in this world.

"Senior, I forgot the extermination talisman, hurry up and..."

The noise from the fight seemed to bring Kasahara Asuka back to her senses, as she hurriedly turned to shout at Fujiwara Reya, but the word "run" was swallowed back down her throat.

Under the dim moonlight, she could barely make out the situation in front of her.

The girl stood there, mouth agape in shock.

She wanted to speak.

But didn't know what to say.

This doesn't seem real!

If she hadn't seen the twitching Spider Demon corpse, she would've thought it was an illusion.

Kasahara Asuka pinched her arm hard, confirming the reality with the pain, then pouted and looked at Fujiwara Reya angrily, "And you said you couldn't exorcise?"

"Let me explain..." Fujiwara Reya wiped the strange liquid off his face and smiled warmly, "I really can't exorcise. This is just Innate Divine Strength."

After saying that, he didn't forget to raise his hand and show off his not-so-muscular arms.

Kasahara Asuka opened her small mouth and stuck her tongue out at him, "Blah blah blah~ I don't believe it!"

Seizing the moment when she made a silly face, Fujiwara Reya swiftly darted away, disappearing like the wind.

"Goodbye!"

The voice lingered in the factory, as Kasahara Asuka stood there thinking for a few seconds, took out her phone, and made a call.

"Hello, Asuka?"

"Sister, I have a question."

"Go ahead."

"The Fujiwara Reya you mentioned last time, does he have any extraordinary abilities?"

"Huh?"

The person on the other end of the line was clearly taken aback, pausing before asking with surprise, "Why are you asking about this now?"

"I ran into him today and saw him take down a mid-level Spider Demon with brute force." Kasahara Asuka walked onto the corridor with her phone, looking out just in time to see Fujiwara Reya's back leaving the bakery factory.

"Oh, that's normal. I've been keeping an eye on him for a good few months; it's not the first time."

"You've always kept an eye on him, sister?"

"Yes, but it's about time to meet him, sometime at the end of this month."

"What secrets does he have?"

"That's adult business, Asuka. You just focus on going to school. Alright, that's all for now. My position at Division 9 is changing, and I'm busy moving my office. Let's chat when I'm free."

"Beep, beep—"

Kasahara Asuka put down the phone, pouting slightly and murmuring a bit dissatisfiedly.

"If you don't want to say, then don't—geez, and calling me a child..."

"Hmph!"

"I'm not small!"

"I'll just ask mom if I have to!"

As she watched the direction Fujiwara Reya left, a bold idea slowly formed in the sister's mind—before her sister could make a move, she planned to capture this peculiar senior and surprise her sister!
