Chapter 1571: Chapter 611 Old Friends Meet_2

Yoshimasa Abe suddenly said, "Maybe... I can give it a try."

Yan Fei’s eyes lit up, and he said, "How do you plan to try?"

Yoshimasa Abe seemed oily and unreliable, having never demonstrated his special abilities since becoming a God-Level Expert. No one truly knew what his unique abilities entailed. However, since Abe was daring enough to say so, it indicated he had some level of certainty, which prompted Yan Fei to ask further.

Yoshimasa Abe didn’t answer Yan Fei’s question. His expression turned solemn, and his hands began switching between various hand seals while chanting incantations that nobody could understand. Then, he pointed his finger, and the air in front began to ripple like water. Suddenly, a pitch-black entity appeared from the air, floating in mid-air.

This entity hovered between the tangible and the ethereal. It resembled a fox in shape but radiated an intensely chilling energy, causing everyone nearby to involuntarily shiver. They found it shocking; despite the area being filled with magma and being exceptionally hot, combined with their God-level resistance, this strange entity’s coldness still managed to provoke chills. What was this creature? Why was it so cold?

The others didn’t recognize the creature, but the Lieutenant Colonel, who was also Japanese, identified it immediately. Her expression changed, and she said, "Yoshimasa Abe, I didn’t expect you to actually subjugate a Fox Shikigami."

Only then did the group come to realize—the Shikigami is a mystical entity from Japan’s mythology, a unique type of spiritual being. Throughout history, those capable of subjugating a Shikigami have been exceedingly rare. Yet Yoshimasa Abe had quietly managed to subjugate such a peculiar and eerie Shikigami.

Yoshimasa Abe said, "My Fox Shikigami can curse any target, but the prerequisite is that it must physically touch that target. I need someone to tear open the toxic liquid barrier. If even the smallest part of the High Priest’s body is exposed outside the barrier, I can use the Shikigami to curse him, ensuring his death within an extremely short period of time."

Tripiṭaka said, "That toxic liquid is extremely poisonous. Who can tear it open?"

Hong Jitong from South Korea said, "Everyone, my flute can launch psychic attacks across distances. I’m confident I can put the High Priest into a state of dizziness for a short period of time. However, I’m not sure if I can tear open a gap in the toxic liquid barrier."

Yan Fei turned to look at "Who Am I" and said, "Who Am I, what do you think?"

"Who Am I" had the ability to wield Light Magic from the Western Church. Light Magic is the natural counter to the toxic liquid barrier; as long as Light Magic is unleashed, it can naturally dispel the High Priest’s barrier. However, "Who Am I" required the Three Sacred Artifacts of the Church to cast Light Magic. Since the Sacred Artifacts weren’t now in his possession, he couldn’t cast Light Magic and was thus powerless against the toxic liquid barrier.

Nonetheless, "Who Am I" had an enigmatic background, and even without the Sacred Artifacts, still had his own methods. After pondering briefly, he said, "If the High Priest is successfully dazzled by flute echoes, I can condense ultrasonic waves into an extremely fine soundwave beam and pierce through the toxic liquid sphere, exposing the High Priest. The exposure window might be exceptionally brief, and the surface area exposed might only be needle-tip sized. I’m not sure if such a small area will suffice for the Shikigami’s curse to take effect."

Yoshimasa Abe said, "A hole the size of a needle-tip is enough. As long as my Shikigami manages to curse him, the High Priest is doomed."

Contrelas said with a hint of sarcasm, "Who would’ve thought Mr. Abe had such capabilities? If we encounter your Shikigami, would you curse us to death as well?"

Contrelas’ reminder made everyone pause in realization. If the Fox Shikigami was truly that powerful, capable of casually cursing a God-Level Expert to death, then the most formidable individual here would be Yoshimasa Abe himself. With the Shikigami’s curse, he could annihilate all the God-level experts.

Yoshimasa Abe gave a bitter smile and explained, "Everyone can only subjugate one Shikigami in a lifetime, and a Shikigami can only perform one curse. Once the curse is unleashed, not only will the Shikigami disintegrate into ashes, but its master will also suffer severe mental depletion and remain weakened for a long time. So I only have one chance to use the Shikigami’s curse. After that one time, this ability vanishes forever."

Though they couldn’t confirm whether Abe’s claim about the limitations of the Shikigami was true, hearing the immense restrictions reassured everyone. If the curse could be used indefinitely, Abe would be invincible.

Tripiṭaka said, "Since that’s the case, let’s all work together. Everyone, let’s join forces to resolve the High Priest, the roadblock in our path."

Hong Jitong raised his flute to his lips, preparing to play. Who Am I transformed into a bat swarm again, using the bats to form a massive loudspeaker, with one end reduced to an incredibly fine tip; meanwhile, Yoshimasa Abe focused his energy, preparing to launch the Shikigami’s curse.

Once everyone was ready, Tripiṭaka gave a gesture, and Hong Jitong’s flute suddenly emitted a strange auditory wave. The soundwave’s target was the High Priest on the suspension bridge. While the toxic liquid sphere could block energy attacks, soundwaves weren’t entirely classified as energy attacks. Thus, Hong Jitong’s flute melodies partially penetrated the toxic liquid sphere, affecting the High Priest within.
