The Source of the Killing Intent

Yukino very angry.

"Hey-hey."

Haruno extreme pleasure.

Otake-maru remained silent for a few seconds upon seeing this, then decisively ignored it.

He asked, "The Alliance Leader didn't come here just to introduce them, did he?"

Of course not.

Shuya also withdrew his gaze and said, "I hope you can help find some Monster to assist her in her cultivation. She wants to practice the techniques she learned from her teacher."

Otake-maru exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? The Spear God actually left behind a legacy?"

He thought he was just giving a casual lesson.

Li Shuhong had many students, but he mostly just gave them pointers and rarely taught them any real martial arts techniques.

Even Shuya didn't learn his skills; he only left behind Ikeda Ichinosuke's legacy.

Shuya shook his head. "No, not really. It's just that the teacher created some special moves for them."

The moves Li Shuhong created are fundamentally different from those he inherited.

His martial arts skills were inherited from the Great Hua Martial Saint, a legacy he never passed on. Many people coveted this legacy and wanted to obtain it from him.

It wouldn't be good if people misunderstood that Ayase and Kirino had inherited the martial saint's legacy, Shuya made an explanation.

"That's amazing! These two little girls are truly remarkable."

Otake-maru showed a look of admiration.

He's a veteran actor, Shuya know if he truly admired him, but Ayase and Kirino seemed to appreciate it, instantly thinking that this Monster was really quite good.

Shuya then explained the requirements to him, but instead of immediately asking him to summon the Monster, he told him to prepare first.

After Otake-maru left, he led Ayase and the others to the training grounds of the City Lord's Manor.

He knows this place very well and doesn't need anyone to show him the way.

Upon arriving at the location, Shuya said to Ayase, "Let me forge the weapon for you now."

"Um, what exactly do I need to do?"

Ayase took off the knife pouch she had been carrying, opened it, and took out a knife.

She had no intention of causing trouble, so she used this knife as a weapon to Slaughter Prison.

She had used this knife for a long time and had grown attached to it.

Shuya said, "That's a question for you to ask. I'm only providing the Power of Faith; the actual transformation still depends on your own efforts. I'm simply here to speed up the process."

"... Yes, I understand."

Ayase nodded.

"Okay, then I'll transform first."

Shuya pondered for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Haruno looked up and stopped teasing Yukino: "Are you sure there's nothing wrong?"

"It's alright, it'll only last a little while and won't cause any problems."

Shuya nodded.

His Ghost God Body was used to seal the Curse, and it hasn't been used in recent years.

He cannot fight using his Ghost God Body, as that would likely affect the seal of the Curse. However, using it to draw upon the Power of Faith is fine.

... Even if problems arise, you can just revert back to normal in time.

If he wanted to use the Power of Faith to help Ayase, the Ghost God Body form would be the most convenient. After thinking about it, he realized he still had to change.

Once he made his decision, he didn't waste any more words and activated his long-dormant Ghost God Body.

In less than a breath, Shuya's body grew tall and mature, and he changed into a white samurai outfit, wearing a white Haori with light blue ice crystal patterns.

He was eight feet tall, with a strong and slender build, a single black demon horn growing from his forehead, and a face that was both eerie and handsome.

However, his Ghost God Body was not quite the same as before.

On his left cheek, palm, and slightly exposed chest, one could see strange, dark incantations that carried an aura of calamity, while rings of chain-like runes were wrapped around his demonic horns.

However, these incantations actually brought him a strange beauty, without diminishing his good looks in the slightest.

Seeing his current state, Haruno involuntarily rubbed her beautiful legs together a few times.

She recalled many absurd things, and for a moment she could hardly stand.

Inoue- kun, you seem to be feeling much better?

Yukino looked at Shuya. She remembered that when the Curse was first sealed, Shuya's whole body was covered in runes, but now some of them had disappeared.

"It's been so long, it's not surprising that it's gotten a little better."

Shuya shifted his body.

Using the Ghost God Body was noticeably less smooth than before; I could feel a resistance within my body.

In this form, he cannot unleash his full power, but in terms of utilizing the Power of Faith and the Power of Awe, he is far superior to his physical body.

Motoko looked at Shuya, her expression gradually becoming strange. It was obvious she was thinking about something lewd.

However, due to some well-known reasons, I will not go into details here.

Chapter 638, Page 596: The Source of Murderous Intent

Mai, Ayase, and Kirino Shuya.

Mai was seeing Shuya's sealed Ghost God Body for the first time, while the latter two were seeing him in this form for the first time.

Mai wanted to lean closer for a closer look, but remembering that now was not the time for that, she reluctantly refrained.

Let's begin.

Shuya walked over to Ayase's vicinity.

"..."

Ayase stared blankly at the tall Shuya, still in shock.

"S-senpai, it's huge..."

Kirino had a strange thought, and her face flushed with excitement. "Shuya- senpai, can I touch you!"

After she finished speaking, she reached out and touched Shuya's arm, letting out a disgusting "hehehe" laugh.

"What the hell?"

Shuya was speechless and tossed her aside.

"Let's begin, Ayase- chan, get ready."

"I will try my best!"

Ayase's attitude never disappoints Shuya.

Although she often takes things too seriously, her personality is actually a good thing in these situations.

Haruno, Yukino, and Motoko naturally spread out, surrounding him and Ayase in the middle.

Even though this is my territory, I should still be careful. If Xiu Shuya's Curse is unsealed, it will be quite troublesome.

Mai and Kirino couldn't get involved and could only watch from the sidelines.

Shuya calmed his breathing, then placed one hand on Ayase's back and slowly channeled his Power of Faith into her, increasing the amount only after she had adjusted.

As soon as the Power of Faith entered her body, Ayase immediately sensed that this power seemed to be vast and endless.

This power is as deep and unfathomable as the ocean.

She tried to sense it with her Power of Will, but only a warm and sacred feeling responded.

After getting used to it for a while, Ayase tried to control the power with her Power of Will. She found that it was very easy to do, and knew that this was the help method that Shuya had mentioned.

She had been a superhuman for quite some time and knew what the power of Power of Faith was, so she wasn't surprised.

She silently recalled the "Slaughter Prison" technique that Li Shuhong had taught her and entered a state of activating her physical constitution.

Blessed by a massive amount of Power of Faith, she was more lucid than ever before.

Ayase steadied herself, channeling her Power of Will into the Power of Faith, silently contemplating drawing out her killing intent and channeling it into her sword.

A murderous intent surged forth in response to her thoughts.

"---!"

However, in that instant...

Ayase followed the murderous intent to its source.

Deep within her heart, there seemed to exist a boundless sea of blood, solidified from murderous intent...

---Is this my true nature?

Ayase was stunned for a moment. In the eyes of the world, words like murderous intent and bloodshed were not good things; in a story, they would definitely be the words of a major villain.

She had always been a law-abiding and kind person, and for a moment she couldn't accept that her true nature was such an "evil" thing.

Just as her murderous intent was about to spiral out of control, Shuya said calmly:

"Stay calm."

His power intertwined with Ayase's, and he also saw the images she saw.

"S-senpai."

Ayase snapped out of her daze and barely managed to control her murderous intent, but her face inevitably turned pale.

Upon seeing the sea of blood, she couldn't help but imagine the dire consequences if she were swallowed by it.

Shuya said, "I don't believe that power has a distinction between good and evil. Look at Shizuka Hiratsuka, isn't she also called a demon? Yet she's still a teacher educating people."

"Furthermore, if you feel uneasy, shouldn't you take this opportunity to take control of your power?"

"... you're right."

Ayase was persuaded by him and they gathered together again.

The next second, killing intent surged into the blade following her will.

This knife was a gift from Shuya. Having been used by her for a long time, it has become imbued with her essence, making it easy to modify.

However, before transforming the knife into Slaughter Prison Blade, its material needs to be upgraded first.

The sword Shuya gave her was decent, but it wasn't exactly a divine weapon; it was just an ordinary good sword.

As the saying goes, "A skilled craftsman must first have the right tools." For Ayase to transform her sword into a special weapon for Slaughter Prison Blade, the sword needs to withstand the transformation process.

Don't worry about wasting it, just use it.

Shuya spoke in advance.

He possessed an immense amount of Power of Faith, Ayase could never exhaust even if she squandered it. In fact, she had already wasted a great deal of Power of Faith right now.

Ayase nodded and continued to focus on the modification.

Driven by her Power of Will, the Power of Faith continuously improved the quality of the knife.

From an ordinary good sword to a famous sword, then to a treasured sword, and finally to a divine weapon like Shuya's First Snow, which can be transformed into a thought and absorbed into the body.

Her method of improving weapon quality is exactly the same as the way Shuya used to get Inari God's Power of Will free back then.

This is how the Snow Woman Gem of First Snow and Yukino was upgraded.

After completing the first step, Ayase immediately began modifying the Slaughter Prison Blade.

While improving the quality, Ayase had already channeled her killing intent into the sword through the Power of Faith, successfully laying the foundation.
