Inuyasha: My job stats have no limits.

"It seems you really don't like looking up at the sky, do you think you're already standing high enough?"

Under the night sky, Bai Lan's figure continued to climb towards the sky, each step landing on empty air, as if she were climbing an invisible staircase.

But if you look closely, you can see that Bai Lan is always stepping on those almost invisible strands of hair, and the source of the hair is the red skull he wears at his waist.

Upon reaching a certain height, Bai Lan suddenly plummeted, and the tip of the Tenyu Habakiri emitted a very faint whistling sound in the wind.

At this moment, Raizo was fighting against the Demon-Slaying Arrow and was unable to break free.

Daoguang barely reacted when Bai Lan approached at extremely close range, and subconsciously opened his mouth, with lightning gathering deep in his throat.

But before he could spit it out...

The dark golden blade had pierced through the incomplete lightning wave, and then through Inamitsu's body.

"You scum..."

Inako's eyes flashed with killing intent, but the tenacious life force unique to demons prevented her from dying completely from this attack.

However, just as Bai Lan was about to turn the hilt of her sword to kill Dao Guang completely, she was heard roaring and howling.

"Take this!"

"—This is my final lightning strike!"

The lightning that should have dissipated from her mouth suddenly surged, and finally exploded in the air like a bomb!

Chapter 45 Raizo, your father is here to kill you!

Above the ruins of Jieluo City, the last echoes of lightning struck, bursting forth like fireworks in the night sky.

Then two figures fell from mid-air and crashed heavily to the ground.

Fortunately, the 'dark cloud' held by Inako couldn't fly too high, and Jieluo, who was hiding somewhere, also helped Bai Lan because she was worried that her 'life core' would be shattered along with Bai Lan.

Although they took a hit from a lightning strike, the outcome was still good.

The Thunder Beast named 'Inahi' had its head cleaved open by Ame no Habakiri and was beyond dead. Only the legendary 'Tenseiga' could pull it back from the underworld.

But that's obviously impossible... The owner of the Tenseiga is probably still wandering around somewhere.

And in the sky.

Having witnessed Inako's death, Raizo's eyes were bloodshot, his fierce gaze seeming as if he wanted to devour Bai Lan alive.

"You deserve to die!"

He raised the Thunderstrike Blade high, and bolts of lightning from the sky struck it, condensing into lightning pillars several times thicker than before, carrying a power that was enough to make the little demon tremble.

If this attack hits, it would be enough to evaporate three Jieluo at once.

Where are my teammates? Please, teammates, help me!

Your opponent disappeared without even giving a signal, leaving me to be ganked. Do you have any conscience?

The aura of death was palpable, and the red skull tucked at his waist shook violently, as if shouting in a fit of rage.

—You half-demon, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you!

—I was almost killed by a lightning wave while trying to help you, let me go!

"Good brother, how could I bear to let you leave? Didn't we promise to live and die together, never to be separated, when we were in the secret chamber?"

—That's what I use to boost your morale!

...

I don't know if I can stop it...

Ignoring Jieluo's complaints, Bai Lan muttered something under her breath.

He gripped Ame no Habakiri tightly, the legendary sword from the golden age treasured in Saeko Busujima's collection. It was truly remarkable... it had withstood such an intense battle without showing a single sign of breaking.

However, the teammate who had been missing for a long time was not a heartless person after all.

Just as Bai Lan was about to face the crazed Raizo, a figure in red and white suddenly appeared in front of him.

Therefore, Bai Lan finally saw the faces of her teammates.

The girl raised her exquisitely beautiful face, her long, light-colored eyelashes covering her slightly lowered eyelids, her dark, beautiful eyes sparkling, and she exuded a holy aura.

Her figure was slightly inferior to that of Saeko and others, but her holy and aloof temperament perfectly made up for it, making people feel that the shrine maiden's figure was the most perfect golden ratio.

Wow, it looks so good!

The red-and-white-clad priestess drew her bow and nocked an arrow, the arrow, imbued with the power to ward off evil, tore apart the lightning pillar, causing it to dissipate into starlight.

Available in the next second.

Countless bolts of lightning in the sky, as if enraged by a witch, surged and writhed like serpents among the clouds, emitting a deep rumble.

"Go to hell!"

With a roar from Raizo, all the lightning bolts fell simultaneously.

They thought it would just be a long-awaited hunting trip with Inamitsu, but no one expected that they would encounter a shrine maiden who exorcises demons and an extremely strange half-demon.

The death of Daoguang demands that these two pay for their crimes in blood!

As countless bolts of lightning fell, Raizo's eyes gleamed with pleasure. "Miko, don't you like archery?"

Come on, try shooting arrows again now!

Faced with this barrage of attacks, choosing to purify them one by one with the Demon-Slaying Arrow would be tantamount to courting death.

But if I choose to leave...

The priestess glanced at the humans still resting behind her, sighed helplessly, and used her spiritual power to create a light blue protective barrier that blocked several bolts of lightning.

However, as a result, this protective barrier became covered with fine cracks.

The priestess excels at purification and offense, but she is not good at defense, and her physical abilities are only slightly stronger than those of ordinary monsters.

Commonly known as: Glass Cannon!

'Click~'

Another bolt of lightning struck, and the barrier shattered instantly.

Just as the lightning was about to engulf Kikyo, Bai Lan grabbed her waist and rolled to the side. The lightning bolt exploded beside them, and the resulting gust of wind sent the two flying several times before they landed.

Bai Lan subconsciously tightened her grip on the shrine maiden's waist, then looked up at Raizo, who was shrouded in lightning in mid-air.

"This guy's really gone berserk. His body's clearly overloaded; a few more attacks like this and he'll be dead..."

“…”

The aloof shrine maiden merely glanced at Bai Lan, then silently withdrew her small hands from his embrace.

"The Thunder Beast wants to drag us down with him before he dies."

A clear and calm voice rang out, and the priestess rose up, drew an arrow, and nocked it on her wooden bow.

"So he must be killed before he dies!"

That's what they say, but Raizo's movement speed was so fast that he easily dodged the arrows shot by the priestess.

"Can you handle this?"

"No... his speed is just too fast, and his lightning blade can continuously unleash lightning..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lan's face immediately fell: "Are you suggesting that I, a seriously injured person, should go and hold him off?"

Oh dear, how could this shrine maiden be so wicked!

"There's no other way, is there..."

The shrine maiden turned her head away, too embarrassed to look at Bai Lan.

Compared to her, Bai Lan was in a terrible state. She had been struck head-on by the lightning wave in the chest, her skin and flesh were charred and rolled up, and the extent of her internal organ damage was unknown.

If it were her, she would probably have collapsed and was on the verge of death long ago.

Bai Lan has something to say about this!

If he hadn't gone out to gain experience, he wouldn't have been able to get past Yura, let alone meet Inamitsu.

At this moment, Bai Lan faced a choice.

If we run away with the shrine maiden now, we might be able to escape Raizo's pursuit.

Bai Lan just didn't want to run away.

Although he was still considering whether to participate in this battle, he ended up joining the fight because of Inamitsu's inexplicable attack.

Now that we've fought our way to this point, and are only one step away from obtaining the 'Lightning Blade,' we absolutely shouldn't give up!

Life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by fate, let's do it!

"How many seconds do we need to delay?"

"Six seconds is enough."

Are you confident?

Watching Raizo easily dodge her arrows using the 'flying wheel' beneath his feet, the shrine maiden looked at the last arrow in the quiver.

She said softly.

"Perfect!"

Hearing that confident voice, Bai Lan relaxed. A beautiful and good woman never lies.

Only beautiful but wicked women lie.

Given the current situation, we have no choice but to take a gamble.

The duo of Inako and Raizo were clearly many times stronger than the Raiju brothers that Inuyasha encountered.

Fortunately, he is now stronger than Inuyasha, and the priestess beside him is several times stronger than the priestesses of the modern era!

Thinking about it that way, this is a sure thing!

He tapped the red skull at his waist: "Take me up..."

—To be sent to one's death?
