Hogwarts Summoning Guide

"Summon Phoenix Fire! Attack the left flank!"

"Summon Ichimokuren! Attack the right flank!"

Bai Lin intended to test the strength of the two newly recruited shikigami. After all, it's customary for them to become three times stronger when corrupted and eight times weaker when redeemed. Having Phoenix Fire and Ichimokuren each deal with two Oni Knights shouldn't be difficult, but it certainly wouldn't be easy either. Umi-zatou still couldn't be summoned, leaving Bai Lin helpless.

"Summon Yuki-onna! Summon Gourmet Spirits! Harass the Oni Infantry!"

Against the completely demonized Oni Knights, the skills of Yuki-onna and Zan-tama are unlikely to cause effective damage. However, against the Oni infantry phalanx charging towards the Genji army, ice magic and Zan-tama's endless stream of strange skills will definitely be of great help.

The leaders of the Ghost Cavalry—the three tallest and most imposing black-armored knights—were dealt with by Bai Lin and Minamoto no Hiromasa, who arrived later.

The ghost cavalry reacted extremely quickly. At the same time that Bai Lin summoned his shikigami, they had already turned their horses around, grabbed three- or four-meter-long spears, and charged forward. The two groups quickly clashed.

As for Seimei summoning the "Blazing Sun Army," Bai Lin had no expectations. Seimei would merely gather the farmers to observe their battle against the demons from afar, telling them that the demons were nothing more than targets to be sold before the messenger of Amaterasu. This would both enhance their image and inspire the farmers' fighting spirit, since in this era, the power of faith was immense.

Bai Lin's jade-handled dragon had been melted by the giant serpent's stomach acid, leaving him without a suitable weapon. However, he didn't take these few ghost knights seriously. The leader, a black-armored knight riding a demonized warhorse nearly four meters tall, thrust his spear fiercely towards Bai Lin's forehead. In his eyes, this weak, ordinary human, even if he could summon shikigami, couldn't possibly withstand a spear thrust to the head. After beheading him, his massive hooves would crush the corpse and then devour its flesh.

But when the pitch-black spear pierced to within a meter of Bai Lin with lightning speed, it was like stabbing a chopstick into marble. After a piercing metallic tearing sound, the spear broke in two, and the huge recoil caused the black-armored knight to drop his weapon.

The Black-Armored Knight was originally a general in the Imperial Guard. His family had been favored by the emperor for generations and he was loyal to the T Emperor. He was also among the first generals to be summoned to the harem to enjoy the imperial "Divine Banquet".

A few days ago, Emperor T, who had been bedridden, recovered under the careful care of Empress Fujiwara Akiko. The Imperial Palace then made a great fuss and announced to the outside world that, in order to fulfill his vow to the gods and spread imperial grace, he would hold a "divine banquet" in the inner palace and invite his loyal subjects who had been loyal to the Imperial Family for generations to attend.

For the nobles of Kyoto, being invited to the banquet was an extremely honorable honor. Moreover, the imperial harem had leaked that the "Divine Banquet" would allow guests to taste delicacies that were originally only available to the Emperor, and even divine fruits and wine blessed by the gods, which could prolong life and restore virility... In short, the more the rumors spread, the more mysterious they became, whetting everyone's appetite.

The first group of guests were all military officers guarding the capital. To their delight, they found that the banquet was indeed as rumored, extremely luxurious, like a fairyland on Takamagahara. The dishes were so delicious that they melted in their mouths, and no mortal had ever tasted such delicacies.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, everyone was refreshed and seemed to have become ten or twenty years younger. After the banquet, Emperor T also bestowed wine upon the soldiers of the Imperial Guard and the city garrison to show his boundless imperial grace and the blessings bestowed upon all people.

But a day later, everyone began to suddenly fall into a coma. When they awoke, only two thoughts remained in their minds: first, to be forever loyal to their master, Fujiwara Akiko; and second, to devour all the flesh and blood within them…

Bai Lin's expression was solemn. Although his willpower barrier blocked the black-armored knight's attack, Bai Lin could still feel that the opponent's attack had a force of nearly five tons. If this were used to deal with ordinary soldiers, it would be like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. It was unknown how many monsters and humans' flesh and blood it would have to devour to possess such power.

"Ice Ray!"

Bai Lin sidestepped the massive black warhorse's approach, pointed a finger at one of the horse's forelegs, and a flash of blue light appeared. The horse's hoof was instantly frozen solid, and under the black warhorse's trampling force, which was even stronger than that of an African elephant, it broke off directly. With the horse losing its front hoof, the black-armored knight fell headlong into the muddy ground behind Bai Lin.

"Summon the Fist of Orgrimmar!"

Bai Lin's movements didn't stop, and the second black-armored knight was already close behind. The Willpower Barrier was naturally useful, but human willpower is not infinite, and each time it was used, it would bring Bai Lin a certain amount of mental pain. Bai Lin chose to attack instead of defend. His right arm rapidly grew larger, and with a hook punch, before the black-armored knight's spear could reach him, he had already thrown a punch, which slammed hard into the chest and abdominal armor of the black warhorse.

Bai Lin had once estimated the maximum force of the Augur Fist; even if it wasn't five tons, it should be close. It could crush even twenty-centimeter-thick steel armor. Although the black warhorse's armor was thick, it was meant to withstand crossbow bolts. Under Bai Lin's heavy punch, the black warhorse was thrown to one side, its chest and abdomen struck as if by a siege weapon. If it were flesh and blood, its ribs would have been broken.

When Bai Lin first arrived at this historical fragment, a Corrupted Monk almost caused him to capsize in a ditch. But now, with abundant magic power, the assistance of his two shikigami, and the two powerful weapons of Willpower Barrier and Nightmare Summoning (one for defense and one for offense), even though the Black Armor Knight is far stronger than the Corrupted Monk, he can only be suppressed by him.

Bai Lin's side was in a favorable situation, while Phoenix Fire and Ichimokuren's forces were even more impressive. Phoenix Fire revealed its true form, soaring into the air and spewing flames that completely enveloped the two Ghost Knights. This firepower was even inferior to that of an adult Longhorn Dragon. Even with the Ghost Knights protected by black smoke, they probably wouldn't last more than a few minutes. Ichimokuren, on the other hand, fought the Ghost Knights directly in human form. Every move he made unleashed wind blades comparable to sword energy, forcing the Ghost Knights to retreat step by step, leaving them covered in wounds.

Minamoto no Hiromasa had already summoned the power of Tsukuyomi, his sword strikes were exquisite, and he killed a demon knight in just over ten rounds. He had just sheathed his sword and was about to strike a cool pose when he saw that Bai Lin had already finished the battle and was looking at him with a half-smile.

Minamoto no Hiromasa was greatly embarrassed and quickly shifted his gaze to the hillside below. He saw that the vanguard of the demon soldiers was already locked in fierce combat with the Minamoto army. Although each demon soldier was comparable to a dozen or twenty ordinary soldiers, the generals of each clan had summoned divine power, barely managing to stabilize the lines and prevent a rout. Meanwhile, Yuki-onna and Yuki-dama were casting various spells into the demon soldiers' formation from afar, not aiming to kill the enemy but merely to harass them, and the effect was quite good.

Just then, a deafening shout came from the other side. Although it was chaotic, it was also very powerful. It turned out that Seimei had led the "Raging Sun Army" to rush to the scene and surrounded the demon soldiers, which could be considered as joining forces with the two Minamoto clan armies.

Bai Lin glanced at the already decaying corpse of the Ghost Knight on the ground and sighed softly.
