After the Exhuming Hound fused with the Canine Deity Skull, it burrowed back into the Shikigami statue and ceased all movement.
Even when Kamiyagawa called for it, there was no response.
According to the item's description, it was likely that the Exhuming Hound's species would change after accepting the Canine Deity Skull.
This process of acceptance was bound to be anything but easy.
This situation continued until the next evening.
While Kamiyagawa was having dinner, he received a message from "Strange Tales" —
[Your Shikigami Exhuming Hound, with a will as strong as steel, has successfully accepted the Canine Deity Skull!]
[Exhuming Hound has transformed into the Sin Swallowing Dog Deity (Variant)!]
Kamiya immediately opened the Shikigami information page to inspect the details.
He saw that his third Shikigami's information had indeed changed.
First off was the name.
What was once the [Exhuming Hound] had become [Sin Swallowing Dog Deity (Variant)].
