Chapter 118 Legendary Equipment: The Shikon Jewel
The Shikon Jewel!
The miraculous objects born in this world have many wonderful uses, such as enhancing demonic power, and can even revive the dead and reverse the balance of Yin and Yang!
Roy's arrival in this world was perfectly timed.
This miraculous artifact now resides within the body of a weak, pitiful, and helpless junior high school girl.
Of course, Roy wouldn't just grab it directly.
He wasn't some great villain, but he wouldn't offer to help the other party either.
"Why did I come into this world? Is it because I am the reincarnation of Kikyo?" Kagome looked at Roy. Compared to those ancient people she had never met, she clearly trusted and felt closer to this "fellow countryman".
Roy looked at Kagome's side, "No, because you have the Shikon Jewel on you!"
"What! The Shikon Jewel!"
Granny Feng, on her deathbed, suddenly sat up with a serious expression, startling Kagome.
With Granny Kaede's explanation, Kagome roughly understood what the Shikon Jewel was, that it attracted demons, and that it was the jewel previously kept by the priestess Kikyo, and that it was inside her body.
Granny Kaede's gaze lingered between Roy and Kagome, increasingly confused about the current situation.
As night fell, and panicked screams echoed through the village, Roy knew the centipede witch had arrived!
Roy and Kagome stepped out of the room and were greeted by a monster that was thirty or forty meters long, with a human-shaped lower body and a human head.
"It's that monster!"
Kagome's expression changed; she had been dragged into the well by this monster and transported to this world.
"put!"
The farmers who were protecting the village drew their bows and shot more than a dozen arrows at the centipede witch.
But even Roy shook his head at that power.
The centipede demon spun like a top, deflecting all the arrows aimed at her, and scoffed, "Mere humans, laughable!"
Then, the centipede's tail swept across, about to smash several fragile wooden houses to pieces.
Roy frowned. He couldn't just stand by and watch the farmer be killed, even though he had been so grateful for a meal.
Pi!
Golden lightning surged from Roy's palm, transforming into a lightning spear that landed in his hand. He took a step forward, exerted his muscles, and threw the spear.
The Thunder Spear, accompanied by the sound of wind being cut, struck like lightning, piercing through the centipede demon's body. The terrifying force pushed her massive body away, saving the surrounding wooden houses from destruction.
Fine electric currents spread throughout the centipede demon's body, crackling and hissing, causing her to scream in pain.
Upon suddenly witnessing such ruthless work, Kagome's eyes widened. Was her "fellow villager" really that fierce?
Roy said, "It's after the Shikon Jewel you have, what should we do?"
Kagome asked expectantly, her eyes sparkling, "Can you defeat this monster?"
Roy mumbled, "It's about 50/50."
Kagome was so anxious that she straightened her legs.
"Give me the Shikon Jewel, and perhaps I can defeat it!" Roy said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Kagome carefully examined Roy. She wasn't stupid; Granny Kaede had told her that the Shikon Jewel would attract all sorts of demons and monsters vying for it, and this "fellow villager" was one of them.
"Ahem!"
Roy coughed lightly, a smile on his face, making no attempt to hide his intentions, but at least he still had a normal moral compass and wouldn't resort to robbery.
This is a transaction.
Roy will protect the village, but not her, and the centipede witch is coming for her.
So, her only choice was to touch her abdomen, glance at the ferocious centipede demon, grit her teeth, and say, "Take it. I don't know what it's good for anyway!"
"A smart choice!"
Golden lightning surged from Roy's palm, transforming into a sharp scalpel, the blade approaching his opponent.
Kagome looked on in alarm. Had the wound been disinfected? In this era, infected wounds were a real problem.
Roy made a small incision with a scalpel, saw a bright spot, and with a gentle flick, a bright purple bead stained with blood flew out.
Kagome gasped, "Ouch!"
"—Noah heals!"
Roy didn't immediately pick up the Shikon Jewel; that thing wasn't enough to make him lose his composure. When he finished chanting, a vibrant emerald light emanated from his palm and landed on Kagome's wound.
The cut healed quickly.
Kagome stared in disbelief at Roy's actions—summoning lightning and healing his wounds—and finally realized that this "fellow countryman" was no ordinary person!
After doing all this, Roy stepped forward, picked up the Shikon Jewel, which was about the size of an adult's thumb and shimmered with an eerie light and energy fluctuations.
When the Shikon Jewel fell into Roy's hands, the system automatically analyzed it, and an introduction panel popped up.
Name: Shikon Jewel Quality: Legendary Description: A jewel with powerful spiritual energy, formed by the fusion of the souls of the priestess Midori and countless yokai.
Special effect: When attached to the body or weapon, it greatly enhances strength and vitality, granting a monstrous, immortal body with infinite regeneration!
Special effect: When a precious gem or fragment is placed on a corpse or a deceased person whose ashes are intact, it can give them new life, but they depend on the precious gem to sustain their life.
Special effect: Grants wishes using the law of causality, but the wishes can be distorted by evil will; once a wish is made, the soul is bound by the precious jade.
Only when those who come after make the one true wish can their souls be liberated.
Note: Negative emotions can contaminate precious jade, thereby affecting and manipulating the user's mind.
Upon seeing the information about the Shikon Jewel, Roy smiled slightly. Getting a legendary piece of equipment for free was much easier than getting the Elven Holy Sword.
Although the Shikon Jewel has many side effects, its immense power always comes with risks.
The centipede demon smelled the aura emanating from the Shikon Jewel and rushed over like a madwoman. For demons, the Shikon Jewel has an unparalleled attraction.
With the Shikon Jewel in hand, Roy stopped pretending.
The centipede witch, whose ability value is around LV.2, is nothing compared to him!
Roy unleashed a surge of golden lightning from his palm, transforming it into a massive ball of lightning that hurtled toward the centipede demon. The moment it made contact, the demon's body melted and vanished into nothingness under the extreme heat.
With a loud "boom," the lightning ball blasted a crater with a radius of five meters, causing the ground to tremble.
Kagome was stunned. "This is what you meant by a 50/50 chance?" she thought. She only regretted not downloading an anti-fraud app.
[The Centipede Demoness has been successfully hunted. Congratulations on gaining 50 attribute points. The main mission is complete. Please return within 24 hours.] Roy saw the panel that popped up and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Roy, can you give me back the Shikon Jewel?" Kagome smiled slightly; she needed the Shikon Jewel to return to the modern world.
"Then forget about it. This is our deal." Roy shook his head and smiled. He never spit out a piece of meat that's already in his mouth.
