Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Bai Lin was also taken aback by this sudden turn of events; it was as if a person had vanished from the face of the earth—Yuan Boyue, a martial arts master of sword saint level, had simply disappeared before his eyes.

"Take this!" Bai Lin was caught in a dilemma. Just as he was about to use Phantom Shift to flash behind Hongye and launch a ranged magic attack, Song Quan suddenly rushed out of the jungle with a strange cry and flew towards Hongye. His katana drew strange black waves as he swung it at Hongye. His posture was no less impressive than that of Minamoto no Hiromasa.

Bai Lin was itching to acquire a legendary ancient martial arts technique. Minamoto no Yorimitsu, Minamoto no Hiromasa, and Song Quan clearly possessed a swordsmanship similar to that in the Japanese manga Demon Slayer, whose power and skill far surpassed his own amateurish methods. He immediately resolved that he would not only seek instruction from these masters after the battle but also observe closely during combat. Perhaps his eyes, imbued with chaotic elemental energy, could glean some clues, such as the pathways and sources of this extraordinary power.

Although the ghost woman Hongye had her eyes closed and no longer possessed the bewitching allure of their first meeting, appearing instead like a demure young lady from a respectable family, she was clearly still able to perceive the world around her. With a blank expression, she turned slightly toward Song Quan and slowly raised her right hand. Only then did Bai Lin see that her right hand, which emerged from her wide sleeve, was no longer the same as before, but a strange claw made of a dark, tar-like substance, somewhat resembling the octopus face of a Hastur cultist.

"It seems that the so-called Breath of Destruction is the power of the Ancient Gods..." Bai Lin's heart tightened. He thought that although Grakua broke through the protection of the gods from the comet and arrived on Earth, there were obviously many other minions of the Ancient Gods like Zemuel who had been lurking on Earth all along.

In the blink of an eye, countless black tentacles emerged from the dark swamp, forming an almost inescapable net that surrounded Song Quan.

Song Quan's face was contorted in a ferocious grimace, countless black, tattoo-like patterns spreading across his body as if they possessed a life of their own, almost turning him into a black man. His eyes were bloodshot, seemingly emitting flames. Although charging forward would plunge him into the nest of black tentacles, Song Quan's momentum remained unchanged, only uttering the name of a technique from the corner of his mouth: "Reverse Cold Wave!"

Before the words were even finished, the blade, leaving a wave-like afterimage, was still swung out. Some kind of energy body, also resembling a wave, dispersed and spread out in the air like a ripple, emitting a faint blue light, beautiful and dreamlike. Such a gorgeous move came from Song Quan's body, which was almost as rough as a chimpanzee, giving Bai Lin a strange sense of contrast.

The ripples of the water quickly collided with the strangely twisting black tentacles that were rushing towards them. Before the tentacles could react, they were instantly frozen into ice sculptures by the water. The water surged like a tsunami, unimpeded by the tentacles in front, and in an instant spread to more than ten meters away, turning hundreds of tentacles of various sizes into a beautiful ice forest.

"WTF!" Bai Lin was completely shocked by this move. It was like a "Frost Ring" spell that was three times stronger. He was originally quite confident in his ice magic skills, believing that apart from Dumbledore in his prime, probably no one in the world could cast such a powerful ice spell. But seeing it today made him feel ashamed. Although he didn't know what price Song Quan would have to pay to use this move, this move alone was enough to make Bai Lin look at him in a new light.

"Bai Da Yun! Use the Shrinking Earth Technique to seal it! We'll deal with Hong Ye!" Bai Zangzhu's voice rang out. He had already met up with Ashiya Dōman and arrived behind Bai Lin. No matter when or where, ( ) is always your most loyal reading companion. Ōtengu and Kurodoji had already taken to the air to deal with the swarm of crow tengu. Golden and red spider lilies also appeared behind him. He knew that Bai Lin had the ability to use Apparition to easily break through the monsters' lines of defense, but he had misunderstood it as a spell like "Shrinking Earth to an Inch." He and Minamoto no Hiromasa were good friends, and he couldn't abandon Minamoto no Hiromasa to follow Bai Lin across the battle lines.

Bai Lin glanced towards the canyon entrance, where the faint sounds of ghostly wails and howls, stirred by strange winds, seemed to indicate that some kind of evil ritual had begun. Although he was eager to see Song Quan's performance on the battlefield and learn some of the essence of ancient martial arts, the current situation did not allow him to take his time. He turned back and nodded vigorously to Bai Zangzhu, then activated Phantom Shift and teleported several miles forward.

With his feet on the ground, Bai Lin shook his head, quickly recovering from the dizziness of the teleportation. Looking closely, he saw the canyon entrance right in front of him, with a tall stone tablet standing high above it. Strangely, they hadn't seen such a tall building from a distance. The stone tablet was densely carved with various strange characters or some kind of painting, but the mottled marks didn't give him an antique feel; instead, they evoked an extremely eerie sense of unease.

A tall, dark figure stood in front of the stone tablet, wearing thick Japanese armor. Only half of his face was visible, but Bai Lin recognized him at a glance. It was Yaksha, except that he was almost three meters tall at this moment, and his muscles were even more exaggerated than Song Quan's. With his heavy armor, he was almost like a Transformer.

Bai Lin swallowed hard. The system had already sent a message:

A special demon, "Destroyer King" Yaksha, LV10, has been discovered. Only members of the royal family who have passed the clan's trials and become the successors of the king will abandon their original names and call themselves "Yaksha." The Yaksha clan resides in the north and is constantly at war with the Asura clan.

Bai Lin frowned. He felt that this system prompt was strange. Generally, the system's introduction to monsters was very formulaic, usually just stating their origins, such as the introductions of Yanyanluo, Zhuanyu, Xue Nu, and Yasha Hime Takiya. Rarely, it would mention the special abilities, such as the two-faced Buddha, which specifically mentioned "infinite power". The introduction of Yasha was even more special, emphasizing his identity as a "Demon King" and his long-term war with the "Asura" clan, which seemed to have a hidden meaning.

"Useless thing..." Yaksha's face was cold and stern, with an air of looking down on the world. He glanced at Bai Lin, who had repeatedly beaten him into a panicked state, and seemed to not take Bai Lin seriously. However, he was not cursing Bai Lin, but rather Hong Ye for not being able to hold out for even a few minutes, allowing Bai Lin to stand straight in front of him.

However, as he spoke, a powerful pressure enveloped Bai Lin from the direction of the stone tablet, as if the air had suddenly frozen, making Bai Lin's lungs feel tight, as if he had fallen into the sea hundreds of meters deep.

This wasn't the first time Bai Lin had experienced this feeling. When he approached Zemurus, even though Zemurus didn't pay any attention to him, he still felt immense, almost tangible, mental pressure.

"Kill him!" Yaksha said coldly.

At Yaksha's command, six eerie pillars of light appeared around him, and several figures emerged from them, each wielding a sword or spear.
