All this time, Luo Zhen had various Guardian Shikigami by his side.
For example, as Luo Zhen's Servant Shikigami, Hokuto had always remained by his side in spirit form, protecting him. It would appear and fight for Luo Zhen whenever he encountered danger or called for it. This was the role of all Servant Shikigami and Guardian Shikigami.
For example, as the symbol of the sun, the Golden Crow would have been rather conspicuous while Luo Zhen lived on Kageno Island, so Luo Zhen had not transformed it into the Cursed Tool coat and worn it.
