No one knew Suzuka better than Yashamaru.
It's not because Yashamaru is Suzuka's father, but because Suzuka's strength, potential and even the amount of magical power are all given by Yashamaru.
Everyone knows that Dalianji Suzuka is a genius known as the "Prodigy". Before he was old enough to enter the Yin Yang School, he had already become one of the "Twelve Divine Generals" and passed the national first-level Yin Yang. He has the qualifications to be a master and has the talent to become a top onmyoji more than anyone else. However, the world does not know that Suzuka's achievements are entirely due to everything Yashamaru did to Suzuka during his lifetime.
During his lifetime, Yashamaru used Suzuka as an experimental subject for forbidden arts, and cast an unknown number of forbidden arts on her body. As a result, Suzuka's spell power was much higher than that of ordinary onmyojis, and her talents were not innate. Something that is owned, but something that is given.
Therefore, as the initiator of all this, Yashamaru can conclude that Suzuka is not able to stand in front of him and resist his power.
Because Yashamaru did not give Suzuka such potential. Even though the world thought Suzuka was a child prodigy and considered her a genius among geniuses, Yashamaru also knew that this talent was actually quite illusory and could bring Suzuka such achievements. , it has reached the top.
Only by continuing to cast new forbidden techniques on Suzuka and continue to transform Suzuka's physique can Suzuka achieve greater growth.
Otherwise, once separated from Yashamaru, Suzuka would be unable to continue to grow. Ranking at the bottom of the "Twelve Divine Generals" would be Suzuka's limit.
Who would have thought that by sealing Shuten Doji's ghost inside her body and becoming a living being, Suzuka would gain new power and stand in front of Yashamaru.
"It's true that I knew your situation, but didn't think of the possibility. There should be a limit to my carelessness."
Yashamaru said this as if he was mocking himself and also annoyed.
"What do you mean?"
Suzuka immediately glared.
no way.
Yashamaru's tone seemed to know why Suzuka had such a change, but he just hadn't thought of it before, as if he still controlled everything about Suzuka, which made people angry.
But it's useless to be angry.
At least, Yashamaru's behavior was not showy, but indeed he was in control of all Suzuka's changes.
"Do you think I used those forbidden techniques on you just to test the effects of the forbidden techniques?" Yashamaru sneered: "If that's the case, I have many methods to test the effects of the techniques, and there is no need to use my own daughter. body for experiments.”
This is true.
If he really wanted to test the effect of any magic technique, Yashamaru could just find some wild beasts or prisoners on death row. The Ministry of Soul Control to which he belonged was under the command of the Imperial Household Agency. As long as Yashamaru asked, there would be people above him to prepare targets for him. There is no need to bother with your own daughter.
The main reason why Yashamaru transformed Suzuka was to make Suzuka itself an achievement.
What is the result
Of course it is the result of trance.
"As a direct descendant of the Souma family, the princess has the strongest qualifications in history. She has been able to attune to the gods, communicate with the gods, and even rely on the gods since she was a child. As a descendant of the Soma branch family, I can only I just took one look at it from a distance and became fascinated by it.”
Yashamaru opened his hands, and a dangerous smile appeared on his face.
"When I see that kind of thing, I want to get one for myself no matter what. After all, I am also a member of the Soma family. Even if the family is separated, the ultimate goal is still to seize the gods. So if I can promote and prepare it by myself, Isn’t it wonderful?”
Hearing this, not only Suzuka, but also Natsume felt a chill in his heart.
At this time, both girls had an idea in their minds.
"Could it be...!?"
Natsume opened her eyes wide.
Suzuka bit her lip tightly.
"Could it be that the real purpose of using so many forbidden arts on me and transforming me is to turn me into the second Souma Takiko...!?"
Suzuka felt both scared and angry.
But that’s the answer.
"Precisely because you were transformed for this purpose, even a big ghost like Shuten Doji can easily attach itself to you, and even be nourished by your aura in just a year and a half. To regain the strength of the heyday, otherwise, if you inhale that ancient spirit into your body, do you really think you will be safe?"
Yashamaru said sarcastically.
"It's because you were transformed to seduce gods, and the purpose is to become a body for gods to rely on, so you can accommodate such ancient ghosts, and your own aura can be so compatible with foreign spirits, nourishing them and allowing them to quickly regain their strength. Your own potential has been stimulated and climbed up again."
If this were not the case, Suzuka's strength might not have improved even a little bit in the past year and a half.
"Originally, I thought you were a failure. After your brother died, I realized that it was impossible for you to become the second princess in any way. But I never thought that you would not be able to use it to succumb to gods. Hell, it’s just enough.”
Saying this, Yashamaru commented unscrupulously.
"If possible, I really hope to analyze your current body."
Yashamaru glanced at Suzuka's body as if he were looking at an object.
"...!"
Suzuka suddenly froze, unable to move.
Simply because Yashamaru's gaze was too familiar to Suzuka.
In the past, Suzuka didn't know how many times she had been scrutinized and looked at by Yashamaru like this. It was like a surgeon holding up a knife expressionlessly and thinking about where to start the operation. Suzuka's deep-rooted fear was revived again.
It was a psychological shadow that had existed since childhood, and even now, Suzuka has not been able to get rid of it.
Seeing this, the sneer on Yashamaru's face became even stronger.
Again, no one knows Suzuka better than Yashamaru.
Therefore, Yashamaru also knew very well that it was impossible for Suzuka to resist him.
At this critical moment, Yashamaru still stopped here and said so many words, not because he was not anxious anymore, but because he knew Suzuka best and understood her fear of him. In order not to engage in a useless struggle, he was delayed for a long time. Just now, he used words and eyes to induce Suzuka's deepest fears and psychological shadows, making her unable to resist him.
In other words, the moment he opened his mouth, Yashamaru was already casting a spell.
However, that is not a Class A spell, but a Class B spell.
But at this moment...
"shut up!"
Amid such cooing, the fox fire rushed towards his face.
It was a fierce fox fire, like a galloping avalanche, crushing the earth while blasting towards Yashamaru.
It wasn't Yakshamaru that reacted to this, but Spider Maru.
"——Namo Hachiman Bodhisattva——"
Spider Maru jumped in front of Yashamaru, high-fived his hands, and the curse surged, setting off an invisible shock wave and blowing away the incoming fox fire.
"Careful, Minister."
Spidermaru looked at Suzuka's side with a wary face.
"Natsume?"
Suzuka also stiffened her neck and looked to her side.
There, Natsume looked angry.
"You are evil! You are not allowed to hurt my companions with that look and tone!"
Natsume's angry words made Suzuka wake up instantly.
Unconsciously, the fear in Suzuka's heart weakened.
