"Those two shikigami, of all things, to deal with me?"
Watching Natsume and Suzuka step out from beside Luo Zhen and approach him, Kagami Reiji laughed in fury.
Compared to Kagami Reiji, Natsume and Suzuka were undoubtedly far weaker.
Although both were geniuses—and geniuses who surpassed Kyoko at that—one had been better than Kyoko since a year and a half ago, while the other had long since ranked among the Twelve Divine Generals. Now that a year and a half had passed, even Kyoko had barely reached the level of joining the Twelve Divine Generals. Natsume and Suzuka naturally would not be lacking either.

Then,
