Chapter 30

Yudou didn't know how the stone wall of the plastered wall performed the dogeza, but the point was that the other party really knelt down so straightforwardly...

Previously, the rat demon king made Yudou think that demons should all be tough guys, and it wouldn't be easy to subdue them. For this, he had several plans prepared in his mind.

But now, the result is that he didn't even need to use one of those plans, and the plastered wall directly and decisively chose to kneel, leaving Yudou dumbfounded on the spot.

"Is this a surrender? You are a demon with C- level power, at least put up a good fight before surrendering, what about your basic dignity as a demon?"

At this moment, Yudou felt extremely frustrated. Originally, seeing that the plastered wall was a tough shield, Yudou wanted to try out his sword skills on it.

But he didn't expect that the plastered wall, despite its large size and strong defensive capabilities, would have such a cowardly personality.

It only took one slash from him, and it actually surrendered decisively?

Didn't demons generally look down on ordinary humans? What is this plastered wall?

While Yudou was dumbfounded, the plastered wall's thoughts were actually quite rich.

Joking, it could survive until now, and it was definitely not a fool. Yudou could deliver such a powerful slash with just a gesture, which was impossible for an ordinary person.

Just one slash from the other party was enough to injure it, and from the other party's appearance, it seemed there were even more powerful moves.

The plastered wall was not a fool. After quickly assessing the power gap between the two and the possibility of escape, it decisively chose to submit.

There was no choice; it couldn't fight and couldn't run. Continuing to grit its teeth and take the beating was not as good as decisively submitting. After all, it was a demon that could bend and stretch, and there was no need to fight to the death with the other party.

Besides, the plastered wall was not a demon with lofty ambitions. Otherwise, it would have long chosen to devour humans to enhance its demon power.

To survive, it obediently collected the "fear" necessary for survival, even daring not to go too far and alarm the human experts.

But the plastered wall didn't expect that even being so "obedient," the onmyoji still targeted it, and a powerful one at that.

According to the plastered wall's plan, it would hide its strength and slowly collect "fear" here. As long as it didn't harm human lives, the onmyoji would consider it a minor threat and send junior disciples.

The plastered wall, though not a great demon, was confident that its C- level demon power would easily handle some apprentices.

Once the onmyoji family sent someone, the plastered wall would "barely" defeat the other party and then move to another place to collect "fear," repeating the process.

But the plastered wall's plan was shattered when the onmyoji family sent such a powerful person as Yudou from the start.

Because of the "demon power concealment," the plastered wall couldn't sense any spiritual power from Yudou, but it didn't naively think Yudou was a beginner.

The slash just now was enough to make the plastered wall believe that Yudou was an outstanding existence even among the onmyoji.

As for why it couldn't sense Yudou's power, it could only be that Yudou was deliberately hiding it to confuse such a "kind and naive" demon.

After all, it was well-known that humans, though weak, were the most cunning.

Almost at the same time the plastered wall bowed to Yudou, Yudou's mission was marked as completed, and the reward of 100 human reputation points and 300 demon reputation points was credited to his account.

A new section named "Demon Affiliate" also appeared below Yudou's character information, and the plastered wall became the first demon listed.

"Lord, everything I said before is true. You onmyoji also need shikigami to fight, right? Don't look at me as if I'm nothing in front of you, but I am actually very tough!"

Seeing Yudou suddenly fall silent, the plastered wall thought Yudou was considering whether to kill it, so it quickly spoke to highlight its advantages.

Yudou, looking at the plastered wall that had already started calling him "Lord," found it quite amusing. This plastered wall was truly a gem.

But at least it had become his first subordinate, and Yudou indeed needed someone to protect his family. The plastered wall's abilities were quite suitable, so there was no reason to continue attacking.

Seeing Yudou slowly sheathing his sword, the plastered wall knew it had saved its life, though it might be enslaved and lose its freedom.

But the plastered wall felt that compared to its life, freedom was not so important.

"What are you kneeling there for? Since you've chosen to be my subordinate, you will naturally follow me and enjoy a good life.

But if I find out that you've done something I can't tolerate behind my back, I will not hesitate to kill you!"

The plastered wall, which had been waiting for Yudou to sign a shikigami contract, was now overjoyed upon hearing Yudou's words, making Yudou wonder if it was a pervert. He was clearly threatening it, but it looked so happy.

Seeing the plastered wall stand up and instantly turn into a sycophant, Yudou's face clearly showed disgust, and he subtly kept a distance from it.

He realized he was a bit regretful; this plastered wall seemed to have a masochistic nature...

It had been beaten so badly before and was just threatened, but now it looked so grateful.

What Yudou didn't know was that the plastered wall considered Yudou an onmyoji and had accepted its surrender.

When a demon surrenders to an onmyoji, there is only one path: to become a shikigami.

But becoming a shikigami means the demon's power will be converted into spiritual power, and it will completely lose its freedom, becoming entirely controlled by the onmyoji.

Once a shikigami, the demon's fate is tied to the onmyoji's. It won't disappear due to a lack of fear, but if the onmyoji dies, the demon will also cease to exist.

Unless the onmyoji, before dying, transfers the shikigami to a family member.

In short, a demon that becomes a shikigami is completely controlled by the onmyoji and becomes a year-round, on-call worker.

So, generally, demons would rather die than submit to an onmyoji.

When the plastered wall chose to submit to Yudou, it originally thought it would sign a contract and become a miserable worker.

But this young onmyoji's demeanor far exceeded the plastered wall's imagination. The other party had no intention of enslaving it.
