Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 619 - Chapter 619 Chapter 542 Stability

Chapter 619: Chapter 542 Stability Chapter 619: Chapter 542 Stability Higurashi Chika’s personality was as straightforward as the weapon in her hands, and when interacting with others, she preferred to trust her intuition.

Sometimes, one had to admit that in certain matters, many people possessed talents that others simply couldn’t understand.

Roger could tell that Higurashi Chika’s compromise was not out of helplessness, nor was it a reliance on the strong due to being in a strange environment.

“Can I still learn swordsmanship from you?”

Higurashi Chika asked.

“Of course,”

Roger nodded, “whenever things settle down, you can learn at any time.”

As they were speaking, they saw Aoki Kazuo approaching with a pale face, while Yukiko seemed to reveal a satisfied smile for having fulfilled some malevolent desire of hers.

Next, Roger briefly recounted what had happened after the three of them had fainted, and finally, he asked, “What does everyone know about this place?”

“It’s mostly hearsay,”

Yukiko said, “In the real world, the monsters that onmyoji have to deal with mostly arise from the invasions of Everworld, and rarely have the capability to cross the barrier and enter the real world directly.”

“As for this place…”

She pointed to the traces left by the Hundred-Eyes Monster on the ground, “as you can see, we easily encountered such a powerful creature.”

“This world is far more dangerous than the Everworld, with many monsters that have never appeared before mankind.”

“Everworld and the real world have taken completely different developmental paths due to different rules. Here, technology is primitive, but spiritual power is abundant, and there are more ways to apply energy.”

“In a sense, spiritual power is the technology of Everworld.”

Aoki Kazuo suddenly spoke up, his face slightly relaxed, “Here, the concept of a secular nation is quite weak, and the fate of this world is dominated by high-level onmyoji and the shrines behind them.”

“In fact, the core strength of Aoki Shrine also exists here. If we really have no other choice, I might try to make contact…”

“No,”

Higurashi Chika refused without hesitation.

Roger also rejected Aoki Kazuo’s suggestion in his heart.

Aoki Kazuo was quite decent, and his guardian spirit was neutral and peaceful, but ultimately, his power level was too low. In such a world, without power, there’s no say.

The group hadn’t entered this world through the regular channels, and besides, up until now, that subtle feeling of resistance still shrouded them. Without fully understanding this world, Roger didn’t plan on easily making contact with the so-called shrines.

This was the lesson he had learned in Europe.

“Let’s get out of here for a start,”

Roger felt a vague sense of unease.

Yukiko added from the side, as if she had thought of something, “Before we leave, we could also take a look around.”

“Although encountering that Hundred-Eyes Monster was a bit of a coincidence, it also indicates that its dwelling isn’t too far from here. We can go there and take a look, there should be some gains to be had.”

He pointed to the clothing everyone was wearing, “After all, dressed like this, anybody would consider us outsiders.”

Observing the clothing worn by the Hundred-Eyes Monster in its human form, the fashion in Everworld seemed to be somewhat similar to that of a certain era of sunrise antiquity.

“In this regard, someone who has had intimate contact with a beautiful woman should be able to help out.”

Aoki Kazuo’s face stiffened as he nodded. This time he didn’t use a talisman but instead activated the spiritual power in his body and in one breath, a glowing deer sprang forth from behind him.

The deer frolicked happily, made a few rounds around Aoki Kazuo, and then ran off into the deep mountains without looking back.

“Let’s keep up,”

Aoki Kazuo led the way, followed by Yukiko and Higurashi Chika, with Roger, the strongest of them, bringing up the rear.

Carrying the unknown of this world, the group pressed deeper into the mountains.

Meanwhile, far from where Roger and his companions were, atop a mountain shrouded in mist and echoing with deafening roars, a violent energy surged on an altar array.

The vibrations spread outward, causing the ground itself to shake.

“What’s happened?”

A figure darted through the pavilion, reaching the top of the mountain in no time and strode in, only breathing a sigh of relief when he saw a familiar silhouette.

“Divine Master…”

“What’s happened?”

“Uchiyama Mamoru is dead, killed while on his way here,”

The speaker was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, with an ordinary appearance and a serious demeanor.

He was dressed in a fitted hunting garb without any identity symbols, simply white with black edges. His stature was not tall, even slender by transcendent standards.

“Dead?”

“Do you want me to just go to the real world and bring that girl back?”

The young man volunteering showed little change in expression.

“No need,”

The middle-aged man replied.

“There’s no need to go to the real world anymore. Even though the gateway is broken, they’ve already arrived here. That girl is somewhere around.”

“Before the channel shattered, I made a rough judgment. They should have come within the Unsui Shrine’s influence. Go and find them in person.”

“Be careful, there’s one among them with quite respectable strength.”

The young man below didn’t lift his head upon hearing this, but his face betrayed a hint of unease.

“Are there really onmyoji of noteworthy strength in the real world?”
