Why Am I a Priestess When I Reach the Maximum Level?-Chapter 83[Vol. 6] - "Awoo!" (Super Fierce)

[Vol. 6] Chapter 83: “Awoo!” (Super Fierce)

Looking up at the worn-out plaque hanging above the entrance of the temple, Violet curiously glanced at the little yokai beside her.

“By the way, Little Mole, why did your Mole Gang choose this run-down place as your hideout? Or do you know anything about this [Nine-Pattern Earth Spirit Great Saint Temple]?”

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

The girl seemed a bit distracted, worried about what might happen next. Still, she composed herself and explained.

“I heard the hideout was chosen by Mole King himself. When I first joined the Mole Gang, it was already here. As Mole Spirits, we don’t really have many preferences. Most of the time, we just dig holes and live underground, so the condition of the surface doesn’t really matter.”

“As for the ‘Nine-Pattern Earth Spirit Great Saint,’ I’ve heard from friends that it was a highly respected, powerful rat demon from hundreds of years ago. It was very famous around here. But then, for some unknown reason, it ran into a disaster and disappeared without a trace. The shrine it left behind gradually fell into disrepair.”

“I think Mole King chose this place because he couldn’t bear to see it completely fall apart, especially since we’re all rat demons. He probably wanted to keep the place from being forgotten. There are even gang members who take care of it, or else it would be much worse than it looks now.”

“Oh…”

Listening to the somewhat vague response from the black-haired girl, Little Mole couldn’t help but ask again.

“Miss Violet, is it really okay to just barge into the hideout like this? Shouldn’t we observe a bit more…”

The priestess smiled slightly.

“Caution is important, but there are times when you need to act. Hesitating too much will only hold you back. Since they’ve already made their move, their plans must have already started, so we need to act quickly from here on out.”

As they stepped into the temple, Violet turned to the three others with her.

“By the way, where’s that Rat Spirit?”

Ling Feng, who was also scanning their surroundings, answered.

“The [Yokai Controlling Sect] can track yokai using the [Yokai-Suppressing Seal]. To be safe, I’ve temporarily confined him with a sealing item. Do you want to release him to ask for information?”

“No need, just curious. By the way, Ling Feng, have you had deep contact with the [Yokai Controlling Sect]? You seem to know quite a bit about them.”

Ling Feng’s calm expression tightened slightly, and Bai’er quickly spoke up to stop Violet.

“Violet, don’t bring this up anymore…”

“It’s fine. At this point, there’s nothing left to hide.”

Ling Feng raised her hand to stop her guard and quickly returned to her usual calm and composed demeanor, nodding slightly.

“Yes, it’s true that I have a past with this organization. I’ve been working to fight against them, even aiming to destroy them.”

“You all heard the divination from the one-eyed man in the Spirit Veil Merchant Guild. That is indeed a part of my past.”

“At the time, the one-eyed man didn’t go into too much detail, but the person who changed my life by chance and became one of the most important people to me…”

Ling Feng lowered her gaze, speaking quietly.

“She was my spirit companion, my closest friend, and partner. But the [Yokai Controlling Sect] had the audacity to strike when I wasn’t there by their side!”

“During that time, I almost lost my mind. I searched frantically, destroying everything related to that filthy sect, investigating their information, and uprooting every one of their hideouts, all to find her and save her.”

“I succeeded, but I also failed. The [Yokai Controlling Sect]’s influence in the [Ancient Spirit Realm] runs so deep that even I needed a long time to finally find her… but it was too late. Everything was beyond saving.”

“That day, I took her lifeless body and swore an oath to the heavens. As long as I still draw breath, I will not stop until I take down the [Yokai Controlling Sect] and anyone who allies with them…”

She paused for a moment, and in her sharp, dark eyes, a coldness never seen before flickered, her voice firm.

“I will stop at nothing. No peace until they are destroyed.”

A brief silence fell over the temple, so quiet that even a falling pin could be heard.

After a moment, the only one unaffected by the fleeting killing intent and the overwhelming pressure was the black-haired girl, who nodded slowly.

“I see… Then I can go ahead and do what needs to be done.”

Standing in the outer courtyard of the spiritual temple, the black-haired girl raised her hand and softly chanted.

“Contract summon: Little Fang.”

“Whoo, whoo, whoo!!!”

A complex and brilliant golden magic circle appeared in front of her, and a powerful gust of wind swept up the fallen leaves on the ground, turning them into a violent, spinning tornado.

It was as if the chaotic and ancient forces of the wild were unleashed, surging from the connections of the magic circle, almost as if it would swallow the entire world!

“Ughhh!!!”

The overwhelming pressure, coming from the depths of blood and soul, nearly caused the little mole to uncontrollably cry out in terror, slumping weakly to the ground. She could only prop herself up with her hands, sitting limply like a duck, gazing fearfully at the proud figure slowly emerging from the magic circle.

Even Murong Yun, Ling Feng, Bai’er, and the others gathered themselves, their faces serious as they watched the being being summoned. They knew who it was, and because of that, they understood how terrifying and powerful it was.

That was…

“ROAR!!!”

In a fierce roar that sounded like a mix of dragon and beast, the ferocious beast, who had been sealed beneath the sea for a thousand years, finally returned to the mortal world, causing an outburst of astonished exclamations!

“…?”

“Ha?”

“…Eh?”

After a brief moment of silence, Ling Feng pointed at the figure that had just appeared from the magic circle, standing proudly beside the black-haired girl, and asked what the others had been too stunned to say.

“Hm? That’s Little Fang. Haven’t you two seen him before? Why the big reaction?”

The corner of her mouth twitched as Ling Feng fought back the urge to make a sarcastic remark, then corrected them again.

“If the Little Fang you’re referring to is the beast Yazi, I’ve indeed witnessed its power before, but… are you telling me that it’s really Yazi?”

“Who else could it be…?”

Admitting it, Violet extended her pale arm towards the giant golden-haired beast beside her, who was even taller than two of her.

“Come, Little Fang, let’s shake hands and prove you can understand.”

“ROAR…?”

Although the giant golden-haired beast seemed a bit confused and reluctant, it still raised its furry paw and, as if reluctantly, “very gently” patted Violet’s hand.

*Slap!!!*

“Ouch, was that really necessary? I’m just trying to help you, and you don’t understand your master’s good intentions at all…”

With a dramatic gesture, the priestess wiped away non-existent tears from the corner of her eye as she single-handedly caught the powerful blow that could easily break a normal person’s bones.

Amidst the increasingly strange gazes of the others, she turned her attention back to the large dog, which looked almost identical to a normal golden retriever except for its size and the way it howled.

This was, of course, Yazi, just slightly altered in appearance.

Violet didn’t intend to mess with its image. She simply had to change its external appearance. It was important for the beast Yazi to walk among others in this new form.

Firstly, Yazi was one of the Nine Children of the Dragon, known for its fierce reputation. Ordinary people might not recognize it, but those with real power, hidden experts and saints, would certainly know it and understand its danger. These were the kinds of people who could bring the most trouble.

Violet didn’t want to be caught off guard by someone she didn’t know, coming at her from a distance, creating problems.

The second, more important reason, was about Yazi itself.

After being tainted by the [Destruction] factor, the natural laws of the Ancient Spirit Realm had been distorted. Perhaps because this force came from the [Ancestral Dragon]’s influence, Yazi, being its offspring or creation, was especially affected.

It was almost like a walking source of disaster on this land. The evil aura inherited from the [Ancestral Dragon] naturally produced countless monsters and demons in its wake, causing devastation and carnage wherever it went. Even if that wasn’t Yazi’s intention.

That’s why it had once agreed to Yuan Qianqiu’s suggestion to seal itself deep in the sea, trying to use the [Seven Stars Evil-Subduing Seal] to remove the evil energy.

Though it only addressed the symptoms and not the root cause, Violet had discovered through experimentation that she could take further steps to resolve the issue.
