As her thoughts wandered, she gripped the Tachi in her hand, ready to step forward.

"Wait."

At this moment, Gu Mo's voice called her back.

The girl turned her head slightly puzzled, and the man in front of her started rambling on, arranging things without giving her a chance to interject.

"As the saying goes, before a great battle, there must be supplies... I know, Ah Xiu, you actually don't need me to worry, but being cautious is never a mistake, it's always good to be a bit careful."

"The Divine Water I just gave you, take a few sips first..."

"And your sword, give it to me, let me add an enchantment buff, doesn't that feel better? Hmm, you don't want a Purification Talisman? No worries, I also have a Summoning Fire Talisman..."

With a string of rapid words, Hidechika somewhat muddledly cooperated with his actions, realizing that while he was rambling, he was speaking in terms she didn't quite understand. Or perhaps she could comprehend his meaning, but some specific terms really puzzled her.

By the time she came to her senses, she had already followed Gu Mo's abundant (dungeon crawling) experience to make every possible preparation.

She felt the slight liveliness of energy around her, with a pouch of small Spirit Stones tied to her waist, meant for her to use at critical moments, as she could directly utilize the power of the Spirit Stones. Moreover, she looked at the blade of the Tachi in her hand, where a faint crimson glow was flowing, as if the iron material was inexplicably burning, with flames shimmering upon it.

The magic power of the Summoning Fire Talisman was imbued upon it, and as long as the flame enchantment buff remained active and the Power of Fire Attribute on the embedded weapon was not completely consumed, each of her strikes would deal additional fire attribute damage, leaving her opponent in a burning state.

"Not bad, not bad, in fact, Ah Xiu, you might also consider applying the power of your Guardian Spirit to your weapon, and directly unleash a Ninety-nine Weapons to dominate the battlefield..."

Gu Mo, observing this special effect, gave a thumbs-up in praise.

Due to his own Magic Power, his Curse Talismans were of quite ordinary strength, so the special effects weren't particularly flashy. Whether it was the Purification Talisman or the Summoning Fire Talisman, there was only a faint layer of glow, not easily overlooked, but also not very eye-catching.

Initially, Gu Mo thought his "special effect brightness" was set too low, but after fiddling with the settings panel, he discovered that it wasn't the case, it was just because his Magic Power was too low.

After all, his current points allocation leaned towards melee combat path with Power and Constitution, with no points added in Intelligence or Spirit, making him just an ordinary person in that regard, unable to enjoy the great enhancement brought by high attributes.

Ninety-nine Weapons? What is that?

The black-haired girl stared at him with some confusion, sharply sensing that she heard something intriguing.

"Oh, it's the Secret Martial Techniques that fierce old woman knows. You can learn it later. Currently, she's the only one I've seen using it. I'm not too sure about others..."

Gu Mo rubbed his chin, explaining in this manner.

Aside from the Guardian Spirit summoning scenario, for the direct application of Guardian Spirit's power, there seemed to be two methods. One is to fuse with the Guardian Spirit's power for Possession Fusion, which is essentially Demonized... Examples like Asai Nagamasa and Shibata Katsuie in the future will be just like this.

The other method is to fuse the Guardian Spirit's power with a weapon, which is the so-called Ninety-nine Weapons. Even ordinary iron would gain a spirit, and a plain weapon could directly transform into a brilliant one, with special effects dazzling to the eye. The greater the Guardian Spirit's power one can wield, the stronger the Ninety-nine Weapons can be during its active duration.

Unfortunately, in Ah Xiu's story, the concept of Ninety-nine Weapons doesn't seem to have been introduced yet, and she hasn't mastered it either.

However, sixty years later, the protagonist William would rely on this to slaughter countless foes. From this real world's perspective, deducing the historical changes, it might indeed be because at this time, this move was still an unknown secret technique?

So Gu Mo couldn't help but ponder, Ah Xiu's ultimate move is Demonized, but actually, she can achieve it herself, without needing to borrow the power of a Guardian Spirit like those human examples to become Demonized...

—So, theoretically, could she also activate Ninety-nine Weapons simultaneously while being Demonized?

—Combining the ultimate moves and advantages of two generations all in one... This would probably mean slaying gods upon encountering them, slaying Buddhas upon meeting them, a super-enhanced version of the Warring States' greatest demon.

The black-haired girl seemed to have understood, nodding, then casting a deep glance at him once more before turning and heading towards the Shrine.

Watching the girl's figure disappear into the corridor, Gu Mo subconsciously wanted to take a deep breath, but immediately realized and stopped this dangerous act. Cautiously, he glanced back, only to see bubbles continually rising in the green water.

The air was filled with a faint peculiar smell, which should be the scent of the toxins being emitted...

Even without falling into it, staying here for too long might cause trouble. With this thought, Gu Mo shifted further inside, trying to put some distance and hoped his 13 points in Constitution would hold out a bit longer... He was about to level up, the experience bar from LV5 to LV6 had already been filled mostly.
