Chapter 1108: Chapter 649: Eating Soft Rice the Hard Way 2
However, Dorothy didn’t pay attention to what was on the mind of the newly hired porter at that moment, as the Time Stop was already halfway over, and the time left for her wasn’t much.
She took a final glance at the Pentagram Barrier trapping the Scythe Weasel Witch, pondering how to rescue her new employee.
The Yin Yang Technique of Onmyoji belongs to the Immortal Technique System, which is different from the witches’ magic system,
Although witches often use pentagram magic circles for casting spells, in the Study of Magic, the pentagram represents the five corners of the human body, namely the head, two hands, and two feet. The pentagram array signifies the flow of magic power throughout the body, symbolizing the circulation of magic power, and is a simulation of casting spells on oneself as a mage.
Whereas the pentagram magic circle of Onmyoji seems to be called the Kikyo Seal, with its five corners representing the Five Elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The flow of the Five Elements is endless.
For an ordinary witch encountering this knowledge of the Immortal Technique System, different from the witch’s own, they might be bewildered and at a loss. However, Dorothy easily grasped the basics.
Even though what she learned on Monster Mountain was the Demon Buddha Law, which is Buddhist knowledge and a bit different from the current Yin Yang Technique from the Mystic Sect, all roads lead to the same path, mastering one technique leads to understanding all.
The inspiration of the Homebody Witch shone brightly, and within a few breaths, the seemingly complex seal of the Yin Yang Technique held no more secrets for her.
"It’s actually a spatial array using the principle of the mutual generation of the Five Elements to stabilize the space; it’s a good idea, quite nice."
"Hmmmm, but there seems to be something missing here. It was supposed to be a Yin Yang Technique, yet looking at it, it really should be called a Five Elements Technique. Where’s the change in Yin and Yang?"
Dorothy pondered for a moment, and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Although she wasn’t very sure, her inspiration suggested to her that something seemed to be missing in this array.
She thought maybe she could try to add something...
Then, she casually drew an S-shaped curve on the pentagram.
As her fingertip passed through, it was as if the heaven and earth had just opened, chaos turned into clarity, Yin and Yang began to differentiate, and the Five Elements flowed accordingly.
One origin, two forces, three talents, four images, five elements...
In an instant, the original Kikyo Seal pentagram was completely altered, gradually evolving into the form of a complete Tai Chi Eight Trigram Formation.
"Ouch, ouch..."
The Homebody Witch was thoroughly enjoying her research, feeling that this array looked much more pleasing now, but the Scythe Weasel Witch trapped inside the array felt frustrated, as she sensed the power of the seal being greatly enhanced since the array started to change.
No more, she couldn’t take it any longer, with more pressure it would be deadly.
"Oh, sorry, my bad, I reversed it by mistake."
Hearing the pitiful wail of her new employee, the engrossed Dorothy snapped out of her enlightenment. She realized in horror that her newly-hired employee was almost accidentally killed by her research, so she quickly reversed the array.
Immediately, as the reversal and separation of the Yin Yang Fish took place, the entire sealing array automatically unlocked, and Iga Maya regained her freedom once more.
However, this time, looking at her new boss, her eyes were filled with awe and trepidation.
She felt that surely the earlier incident was a warning or show of power from her new boss.
Dorothy noticed the awe in her new employee’s eyes and thought she probably misunderstood, but she didn’t explain much as time was up.
The world that had turned black and white due to the Time Stop once again became vibrant and colorful, and the "small creatures" trapped in the Space-Time Amber resumed their actions, and the attack of the Twelve Divine Generals, which was already nearly upon them, unfolded in an instant.
"Master, watch out."
Just regaining her freedom, Iga Maya quickly exclaimed in alarm, then raised her scythe to create a whirlwind, trying to protect her new boss.
This was the ninja’s instinctive reaction, as it had become a professional habit.
After all, a ninja’s profession can also be called a shadow warrior, originally tasked with secretly protecting their master’s safety from the shadows.
Although there are also assassin ninjas, that part was handled later, whereas Iga Maya’s original training in the Iga Ninja Village was that of a traditional shadow warrior, protecting her master was her duty.
However, despite her decent strength, none of the Twelve Divine Generals were weak; even in a one-on-one fight, Miss Ninja wasn’t confident of a guaranteed victory against any one of them, let alone now facing a gang of all twelve at once.
The gale raised by Scythe Weasel lasted only a fleeting moment before being forcefully annihilated by the immense external force, and soon the blades, spears, axes, and halberds were at the threshold.
Iga Maya instinctively wanted to shield her new boss with her body, but...
"Miss Iga, although I understand your eagerness to excel upon joining, our guild’s motto has always been to let the taller bear the skies when it falls."
A voice sounded in the ear of the frightened Miss Ninja, with a tone that was calm yet carried a slight hint of amusement.
Afterwards, an overwhelmingly powerful force swept in upon Miss Scythe Weasel, which she couldn’t possibly resist. This immense strength was so powerful yet incredibly gentle, like a mother lion picking up a lion cub by the scruff of the neck, enveloping Iga Maya into a warm embrace.
Looking up, she saw her new boss’s face, somewhat comically adorned with a Ukiyo-e Clown mask.
