21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 504 - 500: Confrontation (Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
While Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi summoned their boss's daughter's soul through a reinforced and amplified ritual, the huge magic power fluctuations emitted by the ritual also attracted the attention of other transcendents.
"So strong, is this a legendary warrior conducting a ritual?" On the streets of Tokyo, a police car bearing the Metropolitan Police Department crest was parked by the roadside. The two officers in the car leaned out of the window and couldn't help but exclaim in awe at the moon above.
"It's not far off! Really outrageous, to actually use the moon as a medium and project the spell's force over the entire Tokyo, what on earth are they doing? Why use such a large-scale spell ritual?" The other officer, though equally amazed, did not forget his duty and picked up the radio in the car to report to his superiors: "This is the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Division's patrol unit, a large-scale supernatural event has occurred in Minato Ward, disaster grade level two, request for backup!"
After sending the request for backup to headquarters, the two officers immediately sounded the siren and headed toward the scene of the incident.
"Isn't this event closer to a level three? Even if it's legendary, it should only be a level three incident." In the police car, an officer in the passenger seat asked his driving companion.

The so-called disaster grade is a ranking system used by the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Division to classify supernatural incidents, with those below level three being non-legendary events, level three involving legendary transcendents but with limited scale, and level two being equivalent to natural disasters like typhoons and earthquakes of regional scope. As for level one... that means a nationwide event or the involvement of deities.
"Did you not notice that the range of this spell reaches wherever the moonlight can cover?" The driving officer stepped on the accelerator, the police siren wailing louder as the car sped up: "The spellcaster has projected the spell's force onto the moon, which then reflects the spell's force back to the earth with the moonlight. This way, wherever the moonlight can cover will be affected by the spell!
"If a legendary-rank spellcaster wanted to extend the spell's range over the entire Tokyo, they wouldn't need to go through such trouble! Moreover, a level two disaster brings multiple legendary warriors as support, while level three would only deploy one legendary warrior to lead..."
As he said this, the driving officer looked at his partner: "You're not planning on dying in the line of duty, right?"
"I'm not!" In such circumstances, the officer in the passenger seat decisively chose what was in his heart.
They quickly arrived at the scene, yet the magic power fluctuations in the sky were subsiding, as though the ritual was nearing its end. Despite the ritual concluding, the dense mana fluctuations still posed a great danger to the two.
Realizing this, the officers exchanged glances, hurriedly parked the police car to the side, and called through the radio: "This is the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Division's patrol unit, we've arrived at the scene, confirming a legendary-rank level two event, request for backup!"
"We've already arrived." A response came through the radio, and another police car parked alongside them, with two men and a woman stepping out.
The woman appeared to be an older shrine maiden, one of the men was dressed as an Onmyoji, and only one man looked relatively normal, though he too was holding a katana.
Seeing the three arrive, the two officers in the police car quickly got out and saluted, about to report, when the man holding the katana raised his hand to stop them: "Step back, this fight isn't something you can be a part of."
After speaking, he glanced at the shrine maiden and Onmyoji who came with him: "Let's go."
He then strode toward the building in front of them, ready for battle.
But before the three could enter the building, they were already stopped by someone.
"Who are you?" Even though she felt the strong presence of the three, Kyoko Kojo still appeared in front of them, as this wasn't something ordinary security personnel could handle.
"Metropolitan Police Department Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Division. We suspect you are conducting illegal activities due to the huge magic power fluctuations here," the man holding the katana said, taking out his badge to prove his identity: "We need to search the premises."
"This is a private area, please show a search warrant." Kyoko Kojo hadn't moved aside, instead gripping her own katana tightly.
Seeing Kyoko Kojo's demeanor, the man with the katana's gaze grew more intense, and the aura he'd been holding back was suddenly released, pressing down on Kyoko.
Although Kyoko couldn't withstand the legendary-rank aura, she didn't flinch and stubbornly stood in front of the three.
Just as Kyoko felt she couldn't hold on any longer, a window above her in the building suddenly opened, and a little blue-gray cat jumped down, landing in front of her.
Immediately, Kyoko felt the mountainous pressure vanish, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief and look in astonishment at the small cat; she knew this cat was Hiromi Jounouchi's pet, never considering it could be a legendary creature.
The three legendary warriors who had just arrived were also not expecting a cat to possess legendary-rank strength, which changed the expressions of both the Onmyoji and shrine maiden following the man.
A legendary-rank creature, considered a Great demon in ancient times, became scarcely seen messages after the Warring States period, and modern times heard even less of them. Considering the enormous magic power fluctuations just before, they instinctively believed this might be Yokai plotting something.
However, when they were about to take action, a red and a black figure also appeared next to the small cat, emanating a legendary-rank presence themselves.
Facing three legendary-rank beings, the man hesitated to make a move. He knew very well if six legendary-rank beings fought unchecked in Tokyo, leveling half of Tokyo would be considered mild.
The higher one ranked, the less recklessly one could act, especially bearing an official identity.
But the three legendary beings opposite him didn't speak; they just stood in a standoff, leaving the man unsure how to break the deadlock.
As both sides faced off, a flock of crows suddenly flew out from an upstairs window, transforming into Kyuuzai Ryousen on the ground.
Seeing the standoff unfolding before him, Kyuuzai Ryousen quickly asked: "Who are you?"
"We're from the Metropolitan Police Department Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Division. We sensed huge magic power fluctuations here and suspect you are conducting illegal rituals, we need to inspect." The man spoke again, though his tone was less aggressive than before.
"Let them come up." A voice from the open window upstairs called out.
Hearing the voice's command, Kyuuzai Ryousen gave the man a slight nod: "Since Lord permits, please come inside."
