Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Hiroyuki Edogawa stared intently at the battle. From the very beginning, he had been trying to figure out where Hoshiguma Doji's weakness was. He firmly believed that intelligence could make up for a lack of magic power. Even the strongest opponent had a weakness, and as long as that weakness was found, the gap between the two could be instantly balanced.

It is precisely this belief that allows him to discover details that others cannot see in battle. This is why Bai Lin values ​​him so much and takes him along even when carrying out missions.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Bai, I know! Use his spiked club to smash its pot!"

Bai Lin was taken aback by what he said, but Hoshiguma Doji was not happy and turned around and rushed towards Edogawa Hiroyuki like a madman. Bai Lin immediately realized that Edogawa Hiroyuki must have hit the nail on the head. Hoshiguma Doji's two most important magical weapons were probably made from parts of his own body. The spiked club was probably like the dog demon in Inuyasha, made from its hardest teeth, while the cauldron was probably made from its throat or even stomach. That's why Hoshiguma Doji was "always hungry".

Now that his weakness was known, there was no need for further hesitation. Bai Lin moved swiftly, appearing in front of Hoshiguma Doji before he could react. A sly smile appeared on Bai Lin's lips, but in Hoshiguma Doji's eyes, it was a mixture of disgust and fear.

Hoshiguma Doji swung his staff down, but instead of being sent flying as he expected, Shirarin rushed into his arms, grabbed his wrist tightly, and threw him over his shoulder.

The entire building shook violently again. Hoshiguma Doji's massive body smashed another large hole in the floor, even getting stuck in the hole. The spiked club in his hand had already been snatched away by Shirarin.

Bai Lin turned around and saw that the big iron pot was trying to run out of the window, but it was hit by You Qian's icy ray. Bai Lin flashed forward and, like banging a drum, smashed his spiked club hard on the big iron pot.

Having heard the story of the spear and shield since childhood, Bai Lin now experienced it firsthand. The two demonic magical treasures collided with a thunderous sound and shattered into pieces.

"Ah!" Hoshiguma Doji, stuck on the floor, screamed and turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

The system promptly sent a message: The shikigami Hoshiguma Doji LV8 has been defeated, and the reward is 1400 Hyakki Yagyō points.

The points awarded were quite generous, which made Bai Lin very happy. There were many things in the habitat that required points, such as crafting equipment and building higher-level elemental towers. Recently, he also made a new discovery in the library: he could use points to exchange for potion recipes and materials, etc. Although these were not of much help to Bai Lin, who was already using disordered elemental energy, they could help You Qian and others make rapid progress and improve their combat power.

Giving a thumbs-up to Hiroyuki Edogawa, Bai Lin flashed to Yu Qian's side, put his arm around her waist, and helped her up.

"How is it?" Bai Lin asked with concern.

Yuqian clutched her shoulder. Her healing magic was quite effective; the wound had already healed. However, she enjoyed Bai Lin's concern, her face slightly flushed. She nodded and said, "Much better. You came just in time."

"Things have gotten out of hand. Everyone, be careful to keep your identities hidden. You and Haoxing, retreat first. I'll go help Nishuang take down Ibaraki-dōji!" Bai Lin said with a solemn expression. This operation was originally planned to be quick and decisive, without alerting the local forces. Now it seems that this is no longer realistic. In order to avoid being ambushed unexpectedly, it would be better for Youxi and the others to retreat as soon as possible.

After Yuxi and Edogawa Hiroyuki disappeared from Bai Lin's sight, Bai Lin cast a Forgetfulness Curse on the silent Japanese Muggles around them. As for whether the Forgetfulness Curse would have the same effect after being affected by the Chaos Power, those Muggles could only hope for the best. After all, if Bai Lin hadn't come, they might have become the three-headed demon's meal as well.

Then, with a flash, Bai Lin appeared in the battle outside the building. Ibaraki-doji had already transformed into a monstrous face with blue fangs, and was using his trump card to fight Yan Nishuang. It wasn't that he didn't want to escape, but Yan Nishuang was setting up some kind of barrier in the surrounding space while attacking. Unless Ibaraki-doji killed Yan Nishuang, there was no way he could escape.

Although Yan Nishuang had the upper hand, she was also very anxious. Ibaraki-doji no longer had a physical form and was highly resistant to many elemental magics. Although she was cutting it down and it seemed to be in great pain, she still didn't have a good way to kill it completely.

Upon seeing Bai Lin's appearance, Yan Nishuang was overjoyed. She didn't know when it started, but her heart had been filled with Bai Lin's image. Whether it was childhood memories, the ties of their engagement, the excitement of seeing each other again, or even a reliance on him in battle, even though Yan Nishuang's combat strength in the Eastern Executive Department could be said to be the best among the younger generation, there were always times when she felt powerless. But as long as Bai Lin appeared, he could always help her overcome difficulties.

"Looks like you haven't suffered a loss yet, hehe!" Bai Lin said with a grin. He was referring to the experience that Hoshiguma Doji couldn't escape his attack even when he turned into black smoke. Disordered elemental energy was the nemesis of this kind of etherealization.

Whether it's ordinary matter or the changes in physical form caused by these demons and monsters, they all still have to conform to certain laws of conservation. Just like a 1MB electronic file, it is composed of 1024000 bytes, and each byte has its own position. No matter if you compress, copy, or paste, these bytes need to be put back in the correct place for the file to run normally. Once some of the bytes are disordered, the entire file will either lose data and become garbled, or it will simply become garbage and unable to run normally.

Bai Lin only dared to use a small portion of the disordered elemental energy. The flowing purplish-black light was not enough to disrupt the solid and liquid entities to ensure his protection for himself and his relatives and friends. However, as long as the disordered elemental energy touched or brushed against gaseous or energy-based things, it could disrupt large areas of matter. If the other party regained their physical form, they would find that a piece of their body was missing, or even die directly.

Bai Lin transformed into a purple meteor and shot directly into the battleground where black smoke and golden light intertwined. Ibaraki-doji was shocked but helpless, watching as Bai Lin, like a red-hot knife cutting into butter, severed the large swath of black smoke connecting the demon face.

The giant ghost face tumbled in the air, clearly badly injured, but Bai Lin had no intention of letting it go. He gathered disordered elemental energy in his hands and unleashed a chaotic version of the Thunder Explosion.

Dark purple lightning struck the demon face, and after a not-so-shattering explosion, Ibaraki-dōji vanished into thin air.

Defeating the shikigami Ibaraki-doji LV8 will reward you with 1400 Hyakki Yagyō points.

"It's done!" Bai Lin exclaimed happily, exchanging a tender glance with Yan Nishuang, who was not far away.

Suddenly, a cheer erupted from the street beneath their feet. The two looked down in surprise and found that the street was now filled with people. The young men and women had clearly realized that the righteous "someone (who could be any manga protagonist)" had defeated the "monster" and saved Tokyo. The passion of anime and manga was burning in everyone's hearts, making them cheer with joy.
