[This monster, which uses the negative emotions within human hearts as its fuel source, possesses extremely powerful strength.]
[Only the legendary power of the Miko can seal it.]
[But you know that Moryo is not undefeatable.]
[However, even if you defeat Moryo, who knows how far in the future, the negative emotions within human hearts will give birth to the next Moryo.]
[This is the cycle belonging to the Miko and Moryo.]
[You know that no matter how strong you are, you cannot change the emotions within everyone's hearts.]
[The birth of Moryo is inevitable. All you can do is protect your family while you are alive.]
'Monsters feel more like conceptual entities.'
Takumi also knew that Moryo was an inevitable product of the era.
As long as humanity exists and there are evil thoughts in human hearts, Moryo cannot be truly eliminated.
Even if Moryo is eliminated this time, after a few years, or a decade or more, it will inevitably resurrect again.
This is the inescapable fate of the Miko lineage.
And the Miko herself also uses abilities similar to Moryo's.
According to Moryo, it and the Miko are two sides of the same coin.
An inseparable destiny community.
[One day, after you eliminated a mindless monster and absorbed it, you discovered something that alarmed you.]
[These monsters could no longer improve your strength.]
[Earlier, you had vaguely felt that the daily improvement was gradually decreasing.]
[You had imagined this day would come, but you didn't expect it so soon.]
[Although you were strong now, you still couldn't compare to your mother.]
[This meant you currently didn't have the strength to fight Moryo.]
[And now, unable to improve your strength, how would you face your number one enemy, Moryo?]
[After some thought, you made up your mind to take a risk.]
[You didn't tell your mother your plan because you were afraid she would worry.]
[One night, when no one was watching, you secretly left home and went to the wild mountains.]
'Great fortunes are risky, but this is too adventurous.'
Takumi frowned slightly. He could understand little Takumi's urgency.
But such a rash move was too risky.
He knew what little Takumi planned to do.
He just wanted to capture stronger monsters, those stronger than the mindless ones.
Monsters with consciousness, thinking ability, and wisdom.
These monsters usually live in seclusion, because they know they need to lie low, waiting until their power is strong before coming out to wreak havoc.
Moryo is the best among them.
Of course, not every intelligent monster is as strong as Moryo.
Moryo's strength is unique; otherwise, if there were more, the Shinobi World would have been destroyed long ago.
These intelligent monsters have varying strengths, but without exception, they are much stronger than mindless ones.
Little Takumi's rash move was undoubtedly very adventurous.
Because little Takumi had never fought an intelligent monster before.
Mindless monsters, driven by instinct, would recklessly attack him.
But intelligent monsters, even knowing little Takumi was a delicious meal, wouldn't dare approach him casually.
Because with little Takumi's mother, the Miko, nearby, as long as they came, she would suppress them all.
So, the smart monsters didn't come; at most, they lurked nearby, waiting for an opportunity.
And this move by little Takumi was like a fearless child poking a hornet's nest.
The consequences would be disastrous.
[You set up multiple defensive formulas in advance, then focused, waiting for prey to appear.]
[You knew that without your mother's protection, those monsters would definitely appear.]
[Although this confidence was very blind, after years of understanding your special physique, you had enough knowledge.]
[As you expected, within a minute, three special monsters appeared.]
[They looked at you greedily, but didn't act rashly.]
[They were wary of the other monsters and also wary of your defensive formulas.]
[Monsters are obviously not friendly companions; they have extremely fierce competition.]
[Just as you could grow by devouring monsters, monsters could also grow by devouring other monsters.]
[They both wanted your body and feared becoming prey for other monsters.]
[The situation deadlocked, with no one making the first move.]
[You didn't dare wait any longer, because surely other monsters were heading this way.]
[You had to capture one monster before they arrived and then quickly return to the residence.]
'Three arrived in one minute. Either they are fast, or they were already lurking nearby.'
'Getting advance information is impossible. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision; the monsters couldn't have gotten the news.'
Takumi frowned in thought, his eyes carrying a trace of worry.
Although he trusted "Incredible Luck" completely, the current situation forced him to worry.
After all, the situation was indeed relatively critical.
One-on-one, little Takumi had a high chance of winning.
But facing three at once, little Takumi's odds dropped dramatically.
If it weren't for the three monsters being wary of each other, little Takumi would probably have turned and run.
And whether he could run away was another question.
These three monsters were definitely not slow; otherwise, they wouldn't have found him so quickly.
[Taking advantage of the moment when the three monsters' attention wasn't fully on you, you immediately used your strongest method.]
[The sealing formulas hidden beneath several defensive formulas immediately activated. Hidden by the defensive formulas, the monsters didn't notice your action.]
[The caught-off-guard three monsters quickly tried to escape the sealing formulas' range, but it was too late.]
[Only one monster fled in panic; the remaining two were sealed.]
["Mission accomplished!" You were overjoyed, then quickly fled with the two sealed monsters.]
[The escaped monster, still shaken, didn't dare pursue, afraid of being sealed by you too.]
'He actually hid the sealing formulas. I didn't even see how he did it.'
Takumi felt relieved.
He thought that if it were him, he definitely wouldn't have carried out such a reckless plan.
So he had planned ahead.
But the gamble was still big.
If the monsters that came were stronger, or if there were more of them, little Takumi would have been done for.
[You, overjoyed, ran back to your room in the residence without disturbing anyone.]
[You took out the two sealed intelligent monsters and could feel fear in their eyes.]
[But you didn't absorb them immediately. Instead, you set up various sealing and defensive formulas to avoid any unexpected situations.]
[Only after taking precautions did you feel at ease preparing to absorb.]
