I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

"Team leader, how's the situation?"

As the voice faded, Kiritsugu Emiya's demeanor quickly turned cold.

"immediately."

After giving a concise reply, Ryougi Shiki hung up the communication, looking at the man who was still panting in front of her, and the blood flowing from his body.

The small room was littered with traces of a fierce struggle. Overturned chairs and stools, shattered tables, broken walls, and collapsed floors all testified to the brutality of the battle.

But now, all that remains is blood splattered all over the room, several dead bodies lying on the ground in different positions, and the man before them who is not yet dead, but is about to die.

Ryougi Shiki, standing in the center of the house, was spotless except for the bloodstained dagger. Her navy blue kimono and red jacket were impeccably clean, a stark contrast to the dilapidated state of the house.

"You..." The man lying on the ground was still slurring his words, "You can never... possibly... sever... our faith... ah... ah... Goddess... my goddess..."

"boring."

To this, the sharp-looking beauty with short hair only had this simple comment.

He casually took a cell phone from one of the cult members. At the same time, Kurogiri Mikiya, who was on standby remotely in the intelligence department, immediately began data analysis. Within a few minutes, the other party sent back a communication in a directional manner.

"Found them, Shi. Their headquarters is located on the outskirts of Dongcheng District, at coordinates 79,182."

"That place, well... it's the 'Night Street,' so choosing it as a hiding place is quite normal."

After a moment's thought, Shi muttered to himself.

"Yes, it's confirmed. That Araya Sōren is in that place."

"You heard it too, Emiya," Shiki said calmly as she slowly walked out of the room. "I just found out where those people are."

"It's about what I expected."

In the deserted alley, Kiritsugu Emiya spoke calmly.

"Next, it's time to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

Above his icy voice, Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes, fixed on the night sky, were filled with murderous intent.

The phrase "There are eight gays in the Scarlet Devil Mansion" comes from a misheard line in the Bilibili parody video "[Artificial Intelligence Multiple Facial Expressions] Everybody". Readers who like Ai-chan should definitely not miss it. That video is very, very funny, especially the second half, pfft.

Chapter 13, Section 35: The Raid, Night Street

It was late at night, at 02:15 AM.

Operation code name: C078.

Location: New Tokyo Special Ward, on the outskirts of Tojo Ward, at the junction of the ruins of old Tokyo and the city of new Tokyo, a civilian settlement known as "Night Town".

The party involved: Special Operations Group Six of the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities, with all members present.

Information confirmed, action approved. Please take care not to harm civilians and end the battle with minimal casualties.

……

Turning off the confirmation device for contacting headquarters on his phone, Kiritsugu Emiya turned around and looked at the narrow street in front of him. His gaze gradually drifted away and settled on an unremarkable, dilapidated apartment building.

"Let's begin."

Speaking calmly into the communicator, Kiritsugu Emiya then bent down and raised the silver-gray sniper rifle beside him.

This time, we will wipe out all of their forces that have penetrated deep into New Tokyo!

In the night sky, a silent bullet streaked across the sky, instantly piercing the exterior wall of the apartment building. Through the thermal imaging camera, Kiritsugu Emiya could clearly see behind the wall a figure with a blown-out head slowly collapsing against it.

Li Cheng, who was lurking on one side of the apartment, rushed out of a small building overgrown with weeds. He took a few steps to the apartment door, smashed through the alloy door, and rushed in. The sounds of fighting immediately rang out inside.

On the other side of the roof, Ryougi Shiki leaped across the top floor like a ghost, covering a distance of an entire street in one breath, and landed on the roof of the apartment building. Then, she smashed the ground where she was standing and instantly fell into the midst of the cultists who had not yet reacted.

In the very center of the apartment, Araya Souren opened his eyes, stood up calmly, and addressed the circle of cultists around him:

"They're here."

The explosion's flames pierced the walls in the next instant, engulfing everyone in the room.

Amidst the raging flames, a slender red figure leaped directly through a large hole in the wall, her raised left hand holding three bright red gems that shimmered with intense magic.

But before she could use these powerful gems, a tall and strong figure rushed out of the rubble and launched a fierce attack on her.

The timing of this attack was perfect, at least in Araya Sōren's opinion, it was absolutely perfect. However, the girl, who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, showed no sign of panic whatsoever. Instead, she gave him a smile, a smile full of cunning.

Barrier, defense!

He subconsciously activated the barrier around his body for defense, and then countless tearing wind blades pushed him directly into the walls and floors, blasting him down from the fifth floor to the second floor, leaving behind huge cracks and countless flying rubble and bricks.

A pre-prepared spell? Even an A-rank mage would have a hard time withstanding a full combo of this level of power. It seems she is Rin Tohsaka, the member of the sixth group, from a family of great magicians hailed as "geniuses".

Unfortunately, compared to the barrier I had prepared well in advance, the attack just now was still no match.

"So, surviving members, it is time for you to offer everything to the goddess. At this moment, abandon everything that makes you human and become beasts driven by the goddess!"

Unhurriedly, Araya Sōren's voice easily penetrated the entire building.

Those cultists who were being beaten by Li Cheng and slashed by Ryougi Shiki suddenly began to change their ways.

Their bodies swelled continuously, veins bulged, muscles protruded, and black hair began to grow on their bodies, gradually transforming their physical structure into something inhuman. In just a few seconds, all the cultists had transformed into tall, black-furred beasts, roaring and drooling as they charged at their attackers.

"It's some kind of mind-destroying evil magic?" Rin Tohsaka, who had considerable knowledge of magic, was shocked. "Are you crazy? Regardless of whether you can defeat us or not, after using this evil magic, their bodies will collapse on their own after half an hour. None of these people will survive!"

“It’s alright,” Araya Souren said calmly. “They were born to be the goddess, and they must be prepared to sacrifice themselves when they come here. Even if they don’t die in the end, they must commit suicide before leaving New Tokyo to prove their vow to the goddess.”

"Everything is for the goddess."

He calmly spread his arms, as if he were sacred and inviolable, a representative of God sent to earth. But this matter-of-fact posture, in Tohsaka's eyes, could only bring disgust and boredom.

"If that's what you think, then you can stay here with us!"

With a sharp cry, Tohsaka jumped directly from the large hole on the fifth floor, plummeting towards the second floor where Araya Sōren was. At the same time, a purplish-red gem flew out of her hand, which burst into an extremely dazzling light, instantly covering everyone's vision with white light.

Want to use a strong flash to covertly launch an attack?

Araya Sōren, standing on the second floor, remained unmoved, merely adopting a defensive stance.

Regardless of whether your attack can break my barrier, as a fellow magician and martial artist, don't you know that even if a powerful martial artist loses sight, they can still make up for it with other senses and still launch a powerful attack?

Filled with intense confidence, Araya Sōren closed his eyes, awaiting the moment his opponent would attack. But just then, another set of footsteps sounded behind him.

Are there other people?!

"Don't get distracted, you look so miserable!"

A powerful attack descended from the sky; Tohsaka had jumped from the fifth floor, his foot slamming into Araya Souren's head. Although the powerful barrier immediately negated the damage, the unstoppable force of the attack was fully felt by Araya Souren. He lost his balance and stumbled back several steps before barely managing to regain his footing.

Immediately following was a punch coming from behind.

The timing of that punch was so perfect that Araya Souren had no chance of dodging it. However, the punch was also too weak—its force, speed, and the resulting deductions about the opponent's stamina and physical attributes. Araya Souren could conclude that this person was simply an ordinary person, completely lacking any extraordinary power.

Lacking even the most basic transcendent power, yet still wanting to break through his own unbreakable barrier, what kind of fanciful person is this? He's probably not a member of the Sixth Group at all, but someone who came with them and harbors some kind of hatred for the organization.

Thinking this, Araya Sōren's attention remained focused on Rin Tohsaka ahead, completely ignoring the incoming fist. What's the panic? Could an ordinary person possibly shatter the barrier he'd spent years developing with a single punch? Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible.

Then, Touma Kamijou's right fist slammed into Araya Souren's face.

The punch that landed squarely on his face was so weak that it couldn't even make him stagger backward; it merely caused his head to tilt slightly, nothing more. There was nothing that could be done about it; after all, compared to A-rank individuals who were beyond the limits of ordinary people, Touma Kamijou was just an ordinary boy, nothing more. But that punch left Araya Souren completely stunned, frozen in place, until Rin Tohsaka launched a powerful sweeping kick, finally bringing him to his senses.

With a jolt of air, Araya Souren raised his elbow to block Rin Tohsaka's enhanced sweeping leg, then caught the leg itself, swung it to the side, and sent Rin crashing into Touma Kamijou. The two of them smashed through the wall and tumbled into the house. He then patted himself, somewhat bewildered, finally realizing what had happened.

The barrier he had set up within his body, the triple barrier that he had painstakingly constructed, was destroyed by a single, weak punch from Kamijou Touma, who was no different from an ordinary person.

"This...this, how is this possible? So that's how it is. Is he a superhuman with a rare ability like 'demon-breaking'? No wonder, no wonder he could shatter three barriers in one go..."

With a mournful howl, a monster almost sliced ​​to shreds collapsed beside him, its cheek splattered with tiny specks of blood. Ryougi Shiki slowly descended the stairs. On the other side, a monster nearly smashed to pieces crashed through the floor and lay motionless. Then, Li Cheng jumped directly up through a hole in the floor, unharmed except for slightly dirty clothes.

Rin Tohsaka, who had been knocked away earlier, had already stood up again, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and walked out with a serious expression, standing in front of him.

The cultists, who had gained immense combat power by transforming into monsters, were completely wiped out in less than a minute by the attacks of the two strongest A-rank members of Group Six: Li Cheng and Ryougi Shiki.

In this brief moment, he lost his most important trump card: the triple barrier that could withstand almost any attack below level A. Now, he only had his physical body left to fight back.

This is bad, very bad.

Despite having made maximum preparations to counter potential enemy attacks, the strength displayed by the enemy was still terrifyingly overwhelming. Of course, as a cult that had to constantly hide, they inherently lacked strong individuals capable of direct combat; otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to use the costly resurrection and transfer technique on that psychopathic battle maniac, Kuntai.

The penetrating leg wound from a few days ago, although forcibly compressed to heal, still has lingering effects. His most effective defense has now been destroyed, and he now faces two of the enemy's strongest opponents, along with a versatile magician who can both support and fight.

Araya Sōren finally showed a troubled expression.
