Crossover anime, a daily life that begins with hunting supernatural beings.

7. The great demon, the mole cricket spirit, was annihilated here.

"Sinner, you are..."

"Who do you look down on?"

"What you are slandering is my faith in the Saintess of Darkness."

"It seems that you are not only guilty, but also ignorant."

The monster, which had survived being burned by the flames of the soul, stood up.

His eyes were filled with anger and hatred at the defilement of his faith.

The sound was noisy and hoarse, and seemed to be mixed with bursts of insect chirping.

Sharp and filled with a hoarse, bizarre, and absurd quality.

As the firelight faded, the monster had changed its appearance. Its once dignified and solemn monk's robe was now a tattered piece of cloth, revealing the truth beneath.

Grasshoppers, dragonflies, locusts, crickets, ants, and bees—traces of all kinds of insects could be found on this ravaged body scorched by the flames of the soul.

With its body made up of countless insects, its wings broken and tattered, and its tail stinger intact, the once handsome monster was now undoubtedly a monster through and through.

The insect's compound eyes, which had replaced human eyes, were filled with murderous intent and rage.

A monster, a complete monster, yet surprisingly, this terrifying body possessed a strange and absurd sense of holiness.

This was an incredibly bizarre scene, yet it subconsciously made Sakurai feel somewhat...

As it should.

"No wonder it's so resilient, it's an insect!"

"I'm sorry, it's not that I couldn't understand what you meant. Rather, for a long time, I admired the insect's complete vitality."

"At that time, I thought, how wonderful it would be if sinners could be as completely tolerant as insects."

Back when Sakurai was still Yin Jing, how envious he was!

The insects possess a tenacious vitality that allows them to survive even when their bodies are severed.

If they had that kind of vitality, wouldn't they have survived the lack of medical supplies?

Back then, I often thought that way.

Sakurai's heartfelt emotion momentarily halted the anger on the monster's face.

He raised his head arrogantly.

"It seems you do have some redeeming qualities, you sinner. Out of pity for the Dark Mother, I will let you die knowing why."

"My body is a gift from God, and my beautiful wings are rare in the world. Only angels are qualified to possess them. I am an angel who serves the Mother of Darkness."

The monster that proclaimed these words raised its hand.

A dazzling holy light flowed from the cross-shaped staff, striking towards Sakurai.

In response, Sakurai simply took a step back, and the phantom image of a warhammer flashed across the shoulder bag he had been carrying.

An invisible disturbance in the air transformed into a barrier protecting him.

Forged through countless trials, an endless barrier.

It can grant Sakurai absolute priority defense capabilities against all but direct physical attacks.

Holy Light is nothing to the Endless Barrier...

Just a joke. [Qianxun] 554707555

Before the Holy Light reached the barrier formed by the endless bulwark, it had absolutely no effect whatsoever.

What Sakurai didn't say was that while he envied the vitality of insects for a long time, he was also the one who hated insects the most.

From the moment that gazed upon the world, the first to mutate were the insects at the bottom of nature.

Sakurai no longer remembers how many of his companions died because of the mutated insects.

The compound eyes' extraordinary dynamic vision, along with the wings that can flap faster than the speed of sound, are far too dangerous for sinners.

With a single step, Sakurai was standing in front of the monster, raising his Aragami Fang and slashing it towards its compound eyes without hesitation.

However, the monster easily dodged this sudden attack.

This guy has reaction speed that's no less than Sakurai's, well...

Sakurai knew this from the very beginning.

After all, even Saitama couldn't kill a mosquito that kept buzzing in his ear.

so...

The instant the attack missed, a leg, as serpentine as a snake, swooped down from an incredible angle toward the monster's chest.

Calmly and deliberately, he moved within a small space, dodging Sakurai's attack once again.

As an insect, this is the kind of thing he excels at.

He even had the leisure to calmly explain his abilities to Sakurai.

"I possess compound eyes that allow me to see through time and everything else, and I also have a divine body that can radiate holy light. I am a powerful and incredible monster that is rarely seen in ten thousand years."

“Sinner, your life’s purpose is to die by my hand.”

It's so noisy, it keeps buzzing like a mosquito.

Unconsciously, he clenched his teeth. As one of his last few battles, Sakurai had originally wanted to enjoy himself a little.

But this guy doesn't give him a chance at all.

What should we do? Should we use the "All Beings' Heat Annihilation - Annihilation of the Universe" skill to instantly kill this guy?

After thinking it over, Sakurai decided to abandon the idea.

He hasn't expanded his territory yet, and if things get too out of hand, innocent people might get hurt.

This is not what Sakurai wanted to see.

Then the only option is to take this guy down in a real fight.

Sakurai's silence was interpreted by the monster as fear, and he proudly raised his head.

“Listen carefully, sinner, I am the judge who makes judgments in the name of God. My mission is to protect the Mother of Darkness and restore the world of God to its original state.”

"Anyone who obstructs this aspiration will be judged by God and fall into eternal and terrifying damnation."

As he said this, an invisible needle pierced Sakurai's body.

It contains potent toxins.

"Sinners, this is a needle of judgment. Whoever is struck by this blow will die in excruciating pain and madness."

All the words spoken before this were foreshadowing of this attack.

This is him, the infamous mole cricket, who denounced the existence of "human sins" to the heavens.

"It doesn't hurt or itch at all. This level of attack doesn't hurt or itch at all."

The response to the arrogant words of the mole cricket was Sakurai's indifferent reply.

"Nani!!!"

Before this, the mole cricket had never seen anyone as tenacious as Sakurai.

He was already a renowned figure before serving Hagoromo Gitsune, a powerful demon.

Because of its unique nature, it has never suffered a loss, even in this era rife with the supernatural.

This fostered his arrogance and disdain for others.

"You've caught me?"

"But..."

"Why can't it be me who catches you?"

There was no chance for the mole cricket to speak.

The invisible flames of the soul pierced through the cricket's wings and then transformed into ropes that bound him.

"A Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom, Blazing Flames Devour Souls".

"Is there any way we can survive this time?"

The flames that spread upwards engulfed the mole cricket's body.

Then his soul was consumed by fire.

In the very end, ignoring the piercing pain in his soul, the spirit cricket stared intently at Sakurai and uttered his final words as a divine servant.

"Our Goddess of Darkness will surely give birth to us, and darkness will surely shroud this world. May the glory of our God endure forever."

The great demon, the mole cricket spirit, was annihilated here.

8. The elder brother of the shrine's chief priest makes a dazzling appearance!

"Will the Mother of Darkness give birth to our God...?"

"If only that great Onmyoji could really be brought back to life."

After pondering the last words of the cricket, Sakurai raised his head and looked up at the sky.

The stars shone brightly, barely illuminating Sakurai's surroundings and his face.

At this moment, part of Sakurai's purpose in coming to this city and his purpose in "slaying" Hagoromo Gitsune finally became apparent.

However, the dead cannot be brought back to life.

Was it really Abe no Seimei, whom Hagoromo Gitsune wanted to give birth to again?

Sakurai had his doubts about this.

However, since we're already here...

Let's go and meet that renowned Onmyoji.

Of course, it's not the child that Hagoromo Gitsune wanted to have.
