The sudden ghostly aura and the deep voice didn't surprise Ryo Hayashina.
"Is he here?"
Ryo Hayashina turned her head and looked at the other side of the river as if she already knew who was coming and even knew that the other party would come here.
There, a man was slowly walking over.
The man was huge and had a strong physique that made his muscles bulge. He wore a suit, and his short golden hair reminded people of the crown on his head. His facial features were as deep as a sculpture, and he looked like the leader of the underworld, bringing an indescribable pressure.
The left sleeve of the man's suit was empty, and it swayed with the wind. At a glance, one could see that he was missing an arm.
However, the missing arm didn't make the man look very easy to bully.
Because, from the man's body, an extremely condensed miasma was slowly emitting.
That was the ghostly aura.
After years of accumulation, the existence and the miasma in the body had stabilized, so it would no longer cause the distortion of spiritual energy. It could move freely and emit the aura that only a real ghost would emit.
The man was such a ghost.
He had already developed spiritual intelligence, and his appearance was no different from a human. He had lived in the world since ancient times and wandered everywhere. He was the famous one-armed ghost.
"It's too late."
Ryo Hayashina used an emotionless tone to teach the ghost king in front of her a lesson.
Even if the other party was powerful and had a relationship with the nominal master Ashiya Michita, or even as an equal, Ryo Hayashina didn't have the slightest intention of being polite.
This was because of Ryo Hayashina's personality, and also because Ryo Hayashina wasn't a stranger to the ghost in front of her.
As for the reason …
"You're still the same as before. Even when you're ordered to do something, you always procrastinate. Do you deserve to be called the famous ghost king?"
Ryo Hayashina revealed the other party's identity with a blank expression.
"Horned Ghost."
Yes.
The ghost king in front of her was one of the two guardians of the Night Light together with Ryo Hayashina — "Horned Ghost."
Or …
"I think it's better if I call you Ibaraki Douji?"
Ryo Hayashina said so.
"Ibaraki Douji."
If someone familiar with Japanese mythology was here, they would definitely react to this name, right?
This was because this was the legendary ghost known as the "Ghost of Rashomon". It was the subordinate of the famous Japanese demon, Shutendoji. During the Heian period, it was a famous existence. It lived in the region of Japan and was the most powerful warrior under Shutendoji, who commanded all the ghosts in Japan. It was feared by the people.
He was from the same generation as Ashiya Douman, and he had also lived for over a thousand years.
He had a life-and-death battle with Watanabe Tsuna, who was ranked first among the Four Heavenly Kings of Lai Mitsuru. One of his arms was cut off by Watanabe Tsuna, and he became a famous one-armed ghost.
In this era, this one-armed demon who had lived for more than a thousand years was the true Demon King. In terms of seniority and power, no one could surpass him. Even Ashiya Daoman could only regard him as a good friend and treat him as an equal. The two of them had been in contact for more than a thousand years.
Such a Demon King was subdued by the former Night Light, and he changed his name to Horned Ghost and became one of Night Light's two guardians.
However, rather than being subdued, it would be more accurate to say that he was subdued.
After all, in terms of strength alone, Horned Ghost was undoubtedly much stronger than Hayate Nü Ryo, who was also a Speed Chariot Maru. Even Night Light didn't dare to claim that he could definitely defeat Horned Ghost. The reason why Horned Ghost chose to become Night Light's Spirit-branded Retainer was largely because Night Light and Horned Ghost were on the same wavelength.
If Ryo Hayashina, who had sufficient research on all kinds of spells and knew how to exploit the weaknesses and disadvantages of various spells to achieve his goal, was the ultimate "skill", then Horned Ghost was the ultimate "power" that could use the huge power that had been accumulated for thousands of years, and could crush everything with brute force alone.
These were Night Light's guardians, the two Shikigami who represented the ultimate "power" and "skill" respectively.
Now, these two Spirit-branded Shikigami who had left their names in history were meeting on a deserted riverbank. One was expressionless, and the other laughed.
"Do whatever you want. Anyway, you've always been doing things your own way. Even if I object, you won't change what you want to do, right?"
The Horned Ghost spoke to his former comrade just like that.
But wasn't this the truth?
"You're the only person in the world who dares to ask me to do things for you so naturally, and even dare to order around my master in name."
At this point, Horned Ghost felt somewhat helpless.
From this, it could be seen that Ryo Hayashina had liked to order people around since a long time ago, and even the famous Demon King was used to it.
"This is also because Night Light spoils you too much, right?"
The Horned Ghost shrugged.
However, Ryo Hayashina obviously didn't listen to him.
"Anyway, you're just an idle person now, and you've been wandering outside for decades. Asking you to do some small things now is just helping you exercise."
Ryo Hayashina said calmly.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Horned Ghost could only accept it helplessly.
This kind of attitude would only appear in front of Ryo Hayashina.
Obviously, Night Light wasn't the only one who spoiled Ryo Hayashina, Horned Ghost was the same.
So …
"As you said, I brought it here."
Horned Ghost said so.
In the next second, a black shadow descended from the sky, flapped its wings, and landed on Horned Ghost's shoulder.
Pitch-black feathers.
Three-legged.
Its whole body was covered in fire powder.
In its golden eyes, three magatama were spinning.
It was Crow Feather.
Looking at the eight-headed crow perched leisurely on Horned Ghost's shoulder, Ryo Hayashina squinted her eyes.
"So useless, can't even possess a little demon's body. Is it ineffective because it's been sealed for too long?"
Ryo Hayashina couldn't help but comment on Crow Feather.
Crow Feather immediately turned around and looked at Ryo Hayashina, as if he didn't want to lower himself to her level. He tidied his feathers, looking so relaxed and carefree.
Under such circumstances, it was Horned Ghost's Crow Feather who spoke.
"Don't blame him. It's mainly because that little demon is too unexpected. He has such a high level of spell attainment at such a young age. Even Big Dipper is willing to be ordered around by him. If he isn't Night Light's reincarnation, then the Earth Imperial Clan is really blessed by the heavens. I can't believe there's a second guy who can be on par with Abe no Seimei."
Horned Ghost said with a sigh.
Ryo Hayashina didn't refute that.
"He's indeed powerful and can be on par with Night Light. It's fine if he really is Night Light's reincarnation, but if he isn't, then it's too unreasonable." Ryo Hayashina sighed and said, "The problem is how to make Crow Feather possess him and verify his identity."
After all, no matter what, Ryo Hayashina had to find Night Light's reincarnation and awaken him.
For that, Ryo Hayashina would do anything.
"How loyal."
Horned Ghost commented again when he saw Ryo Hayashina's attitude.
Then …
"Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. If you want Qiu Guan of the Earth Imperial Clan to use Crow Feather, there's a simpler way."
Horned Ghost suddenly said such a thing.
"What?"
Ryo Hayashina was slightly startled.
Perhaps because he thought it was strange for Ryo Hayashina to show such an expression, Horned Ghost laughed.
"Alright, I'll help you again."
Horned Ghost said so.
"Leave this matter to me."
Horned Ghost raised one hand, clenched his fist slightly, and suddenly smiled.
