Chapter 1112: Chapter 651: Betrayal
Dorothy’s gaze turned to the few monster witches nearby.
These were trophies from Abe Seimei’s previous battles, the very ripples that were swiftly annihilated in the Heart Lake perceptions of the homebody witch.
At this moment, these monster witches had been completely sealed by Yin Yang Techniques, thoroughly losing consciousness. They lay limp on the ground, utterly defenseless, like chickens and ducks at a market awaiting customers to choose them.
The homebody witch glanced over them, noticing a few familiar faces, ones she had a glimpse of at the Hyakki Festival before. They were caught just a day after descending the mountain, not knowing if it was due to being too weak or simply unlucky.
And when the Eye of Judgment scanned over these monster witches, Dorothy noticed that the merits and karmic forces on these witches were evenly balanced, just at the level of ordinary people.
The homebody witch inadvertently glanced at the petite ninja in her arms, thinking it might be because these monster witches hadn’t had time to take revenge, otherwise, their merits for eradicating evil would have skyrocketed.
If all the nobles on the island of Japan were killed, it might implicate the innocent, but if nine out of ten were killed, there would surely be some who escaped the net.
"Are there any familiar faces among them? Pick a few you think you can trust. Strength doesn’t matter, but they must have good character."
Dorothy released the ninja witch, then said.
For these ordinary witches with average merits and karmic forces, the Eye of Judgment wasn’t very useful. She didn’t want to casually use Mind Reading Techniques to invade others’ privacy, so she had to entrust this new recruitment task to the new intern mover lady.
"Um, can I?"
Iga Maya emerged from the new boss’s embrace, her originally cold and beautiful face now showing a slight blush.
It was the first time in her life she had been in such intimate contact with someone else, and just now, the new boss’s performance was truly impressive.
The Scythe Weasel Witch wasn’t characterized as someone easy to move emotionally; on the contrary, her disposition was somewhat "straight."
Even though she was powerful and good-looking, she had received admiration from peers before, but sadly, due to her straightforward nature, any budding affections had withered before they could develop, causing elders in the village to worry she might remain single for life.
But now, she seemed to understand a bit about what others meant by feelings of affection.
Iga Maya placed her hand on her chest, feeling her heart beating faster than usual.
The sensation of being held in someone’s arms in dire situations, watching helplessly as formidable foes were effortlessly toyed with by this person.
All you needed to do was look up to see their perfect jawline, the vibrant, confident smile full of "I’ve got this" expression on their face...
If you lower your head, the scent of mixed flowers engulfs your nose...
Who could withstand such a test?
Now, the Scythe Weasel Witch dared not look at the boss’s face too much, even though the boss was wearing that amusing clown mask, making it impossible to actually see the face.
"Of course, do not question the able, trust is key. I believe in you."
Seeing the new staff’s hesitation, Dorothy nodded understandingly.
Actually, it was when the Twelve Divine Generals attacked earlier that Miss Ninja immediately shielded her, earning the homebody witch’s approval for this new employee.
Though Miss Ninja’s petite frame couldn’t block much, her intention was more than enough.
After all, Dorothy never cared much about the recruit’s strength or talent; in a guild being built, those elements weren’t needed. Being able to move bricks, and knowing how to mix cement were qualities of a good employee.
Thus, factors like personality and character were more important; she didn’t want to raise a few ungrateful wretches in the guild in the future.
Dorothy extended a hand, casually drawing a line over the monster witches on the ground, then reversing Yin and Yang. In the next moment, the previously sealed witches opened their eyes in unison, waking up.
This scene widened Abe Seimei’s eyes in surprise.
Earlier, she had wondered how this terrifying Demon King managed to undo the Scythe Weasel Witch’s seal, knowing that the seal she set was a masterpiece of Yin Yang Technique completion. Unless someone had even higher proficiency in Yin Yang Technique than her, even those with greater strength than hers would struggle with brute force to break the seal.
Now, that question was answered.
"Splitting Yin and Yang, is this the Yin Yang Chapter?"
The Great Onmyoji lady thought, deeply astonished.
But how could this be possible? Clearly, there was no Yin Yang Chapter on the entire island of Japan.
It wasn’t about successors being unambitious and losing it over time, but rather the pioneers failed to learn it completely in the first place, so it naturally couldn’t be passed down.
As the figurative leader in Yin Yang Techniques, Abe Seimei had been trying to deduce the Yin Yang Chapter from the Five Elements Technique over the years. Theoretically, it was feasible, yet practically, she faced great difficulty implementing it.
In any case, the Great Onmyoji lady made little progress despite years of hard work, only grasping a superficial understanding of the Path of Yin and Yang.
And now, what did she witness? This was clearly a casual handling of Yin Yang transformations.
Just with this one hand, Abe Seimei understood that this terrifying Miss Demon King’s achievements in Yin Yang Techniques were likely well beyond her own.
