Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

Before, Lisa was still a bit skeptical.

But now, she believed!!

Mr. Reeve was definitely Lord God!!

Lisa had almost forgotten that Lucas Reeve was actually the Shikigami she herself had summoned.

”Mr. Reeve! With this power, can I protect my mom?”

Lisa was a little excited at the moment.

Previously, her strength and physical fitness were incredibly weak. Now that she had suddenly obtained this power, she had entered a peculiar phase, known as the beginner’s high.

”Um....”

”Far from it....”

Lucas Reeve didn’t want to dampen Lisa’s enthusiasm, but sometimes it was best to be honest. After all, the truth, while hurtful, doesn’t wound like a lie does.

To be honest, with Lisa’s talent, it would still be difficult for her to truly protect her mother in Siracusa.

After all, Lisa’s talent was not as good as Franka’s.

And even Franka had almost died at the hands of the mafia, let alone Lisa. Therefore, Lucas Reeve was more inclined to recommend that Lisa use the power of machinery directly.

After all...

Flesh has its limits.

Not everyone is a Patriot or a Talulah. And although Siracusa is a third-world country, a single mafia family has so many people. It’s basically impossible for one person to fight their way through, unless they possess top-tier power like Patriot.

In reality, both Lisa and Lucas Reeve had forgotten one key point.

For an Onmyōji, the greatest power is not their own magical ability, but the bond with their Shikigami. A Shikigami’s power is, strictly speaking, also part of the Onmyōji’s power.

”Oh~”

Although Lisa was disappointed, she didn’t lose heart. Instead, she became more confident. She believed that as long as she trained hard, she would one day be able to protect her mother.

Suddenly, Lisa remembered something.

”Mr. Reeve, how is my mom? She seemed to be badly injured.... Mr. Reeve, as a god, is there anything you can do...”

”Don’t worry, her life isn’t in danger.”

Lucas Reeve had already checked.

All he could say was that Lisa’s mom’s physical constitution was truly not that of an ordinary person, no weaker than Franka’s. And while her injuries were severe, she had managed to avoid all vital areas.

Receiving Lucas Reeve’s definitive answer, Lisa breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her life wasn’t in danger...

Just as she was about to go to the kitchen to make a nutritious soup for her mom, suddenly!!

A beeping sound seemed to come from downstairs.

Someone’s here?

Lucas Reeve wasn’t surprised.

After being seriously injured, Lisa’s mom was at her limit, both mentally and physically. When rushing to this unknown safe house, she would have inevitably left some clues, more or less. It was perfectly normal for the locust-like mafia to find them.

Lisa was just about to go downstairs when Lucas Reeve quickly grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back up.

The next second, the roar of an Originium bomb exploding came from the first floor. In an instant, the entire small villa seemed on the verge of collapse, shaking violently.

The sudden explosion startled Lisa. Looking at the collapsed staircase, she felt a lingering fear. If Lucas Reeve hadn’t grabbed her just now, even if she had been lucky enough to survive the blast, she would have been severely injured.

”Lisa!!!”

A weak yet strong voice came from the other room, followed by the sound of a fall.

Lisa’s mother, with great difficulty, forced herself to stand up and opened the door, wanting to protect her daughter in the next room.

She had never imagined that this safe house, so well hidden, could be found by these locust-like mafia members.

However~

As soon as she opened the door, Lisa’s mother saw her daughter being held in the arms of a young man.

”!!!!”

”Mom!!!”

Lucas Reeve smiled faintly. As the sound of urgent footsteps came from downstairs, he said unhurriedly, ”A pleasure to meet you, ma’am~”

”I’m your daughter’s Shikigami.”

”It seems your situation is not looking too good right now.”

”You wouldn’t want your daughter to get hurt, would you?”
