Sakura Shintoism.
Within the vast Shikigami space.
Nanami knelt on both knees, gazing reverently upwards.
An ominous crimson mark flickered on her forehead.
Only with a reverse contract can one be eligible to enter the Shikigami space!
At this moment, Nanami’s beautiful eyes were black as night, deep and mysterious.
Yet, they lacked the restraint and profundity of the past.
Instead, they were filled with greed and madness, her gaze seemingly harboring a desire to destroy everything.
In front of Nanami was an unimaginably massive monster.
It looked like eight giant snakes twisted and entwined together, having eight heads and eight tails, but joined in the middle to form one torso.
The heads resembled dragons, with eyes like dried blood, emitting a bloody red glow.
Its back was covered in moss and trees, while the abdomen was in a state of decay, bleeding profusely.
Overhead, a giant dragon was coalescing with clouds of eight different colors, harboring various energies.
The massive body was akin to eight towering peaks, eight enormous valleys!
In front of it, Nanami was no different from an ant!
The immense sense of oppression made Nanami, despite forming the reverse contract, tremble uncontrollably.
Although the contract was formed.
The one in control was Yamata no Orochi!
And Nanami was merely the server!
At this moment, all eight massive heads of Yamata no Orochi were fixated on Nanami.
Though unspoken, Nanami could instantly feel the greed and desire of Yamata no Orochi.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I will serve you forever and ever! I will not disappoint you!"
After she finished speaking.
Nanami exited the Shikigami space and glanced at the Shintoism leaders gathered around her.
She said in a deep voice, "First, prepare a large amount of supplies for me to serve Yamata no Orochi."
The leaders of Shintoism naturally dared not defy her.
Now, the power that Nanami wielded far exceeded a normal Professional!
Although Nanami was not in command.
Due to the reverse contract, as long as Yamata no Orochi was willing to act for Nanami.
She would be invincible in the world!
That so-called Undead Mage was worth nothing!
That’s what Nanami thought.
She reached her hand to touch the mark on her forehead, and after it gradually faded away.
She laughed wildly with a fierce expression: "With this power, I will fear no one! In the national war, Sakura will reign supreme!"
...
Black Fire City.
Lu Ran and his group grinded until six in the afternoon, ate, and then headed home.
Lu Ran was exhausted, after a hearty meal, he just wanted to fall into bed and sleep.
But as he opened the door, he suddenly saw a figure standing in the pitch-black room, startling Lu Ran into a stumble.
He hurriedly turned on the light.
Only then did he realize it was the Carp Spirit standing charmingly by the window, waiting.
Seeing Lu Ran return, the Carp Spirit was very excited, yet still dared not move.
Lu Ran stared in amazement at the Carp Spirit.
Asked, "After I left that day, you didn’t possibly stand here all this time, did you?"
Lu Ran remembered when he left.
He had instructed the Carp Spirit: "Stay here, don’t move, don’t run off, wait for me to return."
His intention was for the Carp Spirit not to go outside and to just stay in the room.
But now, it seemed.
The Carp Spirit had truly stood in the same spot from when Lu Ran left until now, without moving an inch!
She really strictly followed orders!
Although, as a Shikigami, this wasn’t much for the Carp Spirit.
But to think she remained alone in the room, steadfast, and if Lu Ran didn’t return for a month or a year, she would still be here.
Lu Ran couldn’t help feel a bit sorry for her.
He rubbed her head and said, "Sigh, leaving you was an accident, now it’s quite tricky to deal with."
Her combat ability was average, although she had some tricks, which could protect Lu Ran.
But those tricks were of no use to Lu Ran now.
In the future, as Lu Ran’s strength grew, the Carp Spirit would become even less useful.
After all.
Even though Lu Ran seized control of the Carp Spirit, without a proper contract between a Yin Yang Master and Shikigami.
The Carp Spirit couldn’t grow alongside Lu Ran.
The Carp Spirit seemed to understand Lu Ran’s meaning, beaming a smile at him.
"Alright, stop smiling, go sit on the sofa over there," Lu Ran said.
Receiving the order, the Carp Spirit immediately obediently followed Lu Ran’s instructions and sat on the sofa.
Lu Ran sat down close beside her.
Staring at the Carp Spirit, he pondered if there was any way to improve this control method.
Just then.
Lu Ran, startled earlier, hadn’t closed the door, and suddenly, Liu Xinxin walked in.
At a glance.
She saw Lu Ran sitting next to the Carp Spirit, staring intently at her.
"Ahem... Lu Ran, it’s quite early. If you want to do something, do it later. I have something to tell you," Liu Xinxin said to Lu Ran.
Oh my god!
Lu Ran jumped up immediately.
Said, "No... It’s not, um... I wasn’t thinking of anything, really..."
"Uh-huh, I believe you." Liu Xinxin said with a playful smile, then added, "Let’s talk business, follow me."
Seeing Liu Xinxin getting serious.
Lu Ran didn’t dare linger on other topics.
Before leaving.
He said to the Carp Spirit, "Just stay here... um... no, just in this room, do as you like, just don’t go out."
After saying that, he went to the yard with Liu Xinxin.
Lei Tai and Ye Hongyi were already waiting there.
After Lu Ran sat down.
Liu Xinxin briefly explained what happened in the Elf Race territory.
"So, you want to give Lu Ran the identity of the Elf Special Envoy? Then he can enter the Elf Race territory," Lei Tai asked.
"Obviously, otherwise, who among us has the ability to single-handedly oppose the entire Dark Elf Race?" Ye Hongyi retorted.
"Haha... That’s true." Lei Tai scratched his head, laughing awkwardly.
Liu Xinxin then handed Lu Ran the Elf Special Envoy identity emblem.
Then said, "It’s very simple to operate, just treat it as unclaimed equipment and bind it."
Lu Ran stretched out his hand to receive it, and did as instructed.
Immediately, the emblem disappeared from his palm, and a few seconds later, a mark similar to a guild emblem appeared on Lu Ran’s chest.
Not particularly noticeable.
But enough to indicate that Lu Ran now had the identity of an Elf Special Envoy, and could freely enter and exit the Elf Race territory.
Originally Lu Ran didn’t know how to enter.
But after binding the emblem, the method to enter appeared directly in Lu Ran’s mind.
Like a small teleportation skill.
Anytime he could use teleportation, to enter the Elf Race territory!
"Lu Ran’s Charged Blood Spear has been charging for almost two days now, with that, it should be able to instantly kill the Dark Elf Queen, right?" Ye Hongyi asked instinctively.
"I also think there’s no problem," Lei Tai agreed.
But Liu Xinxin looked at them, amused and exasperated.
She said, "Lu Ran is going in to resolve the crisis and gain the trust of the Elf Queen Tina, and also, with Lu Ran’s Skeleton Throne, he should be able to directly control the Dark Elf Queen. If I’m not mistaken, the Dark Elf Queen’s level should also be 100!"
Up until now, no one had ever encountered anything over level 60.
Even the Black Dragon Mountain Group Dungeon had level 60 monsters!
Ye Hongyi suddenly realized.
Excitedly asked, "So you’re saying my brother has a chance to acquire a level 100 pet? And it’s a level 100 Dark Elf Queen BOSS!"
This time, he’ll make a fortune!
