He was somewhat desperate. At such close range, even if Kotegawa had arrived, he probably wouldn't be able to save him.

The calamity is clasping its hands together, as if praying to the heavens.

The rumbling thunder gradually faded into the distance, leaving only the sound of raindrops falling to the ground.

He looked at Ishikawa again, a small smile spreading across his face.

"Alright, come out—"

A sudden "poof" sound interrupted everything.

Disaster turned its head and looked behind it.

They discovered that the once terrifying black fog had mostly dissipated.

A man wearing a black special operations uniform and a mask was pulling a longsword from the throat of his subordinate.

"I... I shouldn't be too late, right?" A voice as clear as heavenly music rang in Ishikawa's ears.

Ishikawa Yasuhiro almost burst into tears.

He swore that this was absolutely the most beautiful and moving sound he had ever heard in his life, a thousand times, ten thousand times better than his wife's moans!

Chapter 164 That's amazing! He can even choose his opponents.

Under the drizzling rain, a leather boot slammed into a puddle, then lifted off the ground in an instant, moving with the speed of a blur as it sped away towards the road ahead.

This top executive of the Kanto Evil Spirit Society, the Calamity Lord whose strength is almost limitless, actually ran away the moment he saw Kotegawa Kamimi...

Kotekawa was completely bewildered, but fortunately, his reaction was faster than his thought, and he took off chasing after her.

The special agents behind them also looked completely bewildered.

After making such a big fuss, acting like he wouldn't stop until he tore Ishikawa Yasuhiro to pieces, why did he just turn around and run away at the most crucial moment?

Ishikawa Yasuhiro was also completely blank, wondering if Kotegawa had done something secretly again to frighten him so much by the impending disaster. Otherwise, it just didn't make sense!

However, I can't figure it out for now...

But that doesn't stop him from indulging in some verbal sparring first.

The middle-aged man put his hands behind his back, his gaze deep and tinged with disappointment, and sighed softly: "So you're just a cowardly little coward who knows how to run away?"

The gazes around them suddenly intensified.

It was as if I had seen God.

The commander-in-chief, deeply moved, patted him firmly on the shoulder and exclaimed, "Go, Ishikawa-kun! Don't let him escape!"

Ishikawa Yasuhiro, who was maintaining his image as a master, was taken aback. He subconsciously tried to come up with an excuse to get away with it, but then a thought flashed through his mind... He understood why the disaster had turned and fled.

"He must have mistaken me for a master as skilled as Kotegawa, and was afraid that we would attack him from both sides! No, he must have mistaken Kotegawa for a master as skilled as me..."

The thought flashed through his mind, but he still didn't want to go, so he said with a serious expression, "I'd better stay and protect everyone!"

"Hahaha!" The commander laughed heartily, his eyes filled with even more admiration. He waved his hand, "No need! The divine messenger from Ise Grand Shrine is on his way! Go, Ishikawa!"

This time, Ishikawa Yasuhiro had no choice but to swallow his bitterness and silently nod.

"Well, at least Kotegawa is here..." He dragged his greatsword out of the gate, glanced subconsciously at the dark sky, and only after confirming that there was no thunder did he feel relieved and start walking, chasing after the direction where the disaster and Kotegawa Kami had disappeared.

……

Disasters haven't struck Tokyo for a long time.

Three years ago, after he successfully managed to get a sliver of the evil god's will to descend and thus advance, he quietly went to Hokkaido. While evading the pursuit of the divine messengers, he also planned for the evil god to descend even closer.

Three years is neither a long nor a short time; with human intervention, it is enough for a city to undergo rapid and dramatic changes.

This world is constantly being updated and iterated.

The paths I remember walking have become walls, and what should have been a river has become a park.

This city already felt unfamiliar to him.

So he got lost.

Standing before a shrine bathed in a milky-white glow, the calamity, its face grim, stopped and turned away again.

At the same time, he firmly remembered the name "Shirakawa Shrine".

The halo disappeared quietly after he walked away.

Soon, Kotegawa Kami appeared, stood nearby, twitched his nose, and then picked up his sword and continued the chase.

He frowned slightly.

I have absolutely no idea what the disaster is trying to do.

Why are we leading him around in circles? Is there some other plan we're hiding?

Upon realizing this, he immediately became extremely vigilant and extended the [Nightmare] domain to the surrounding area.

We've finally run into disaster, so we absolutely can't let him escape!

After all, Friday is the day after tomorrow.

I still have to go home and work during the Golden Week holiday!

Thinking this, Kotekawa Kami ran even faster.

……

Behind the two, Yasuhiro Ishikawa stood at a crossroads, looking around with a bewildered expression.

Which way should we go next?

Should we give Kotegawa a call?

No, no, what if he's confronting or fighting a disaster? If I call him, wouldn't I be harming him? No, no… He quickly stopped his hand from making the call and shook his head repeatedly.

"Why don't we just pick one at random? After all, I wouldn't be of much use if I went, and I might even cause trouble or make things worse..." He hesitated, feeling that this was the right thing to do.

I'll just find a place to hide and wait until the fight with Kotegawa is over before heading over... Kotegawa is so strong, he'll definitely be able to take down the calamity! That's right!

He nodded repeatedly, increasingly convinced that the idea was sound and reliable.

So he took off his shoes, stood on one leg, threw the shoes into the air, and looked on expectantly.

The shoe fell to the ground with a thud, its toe pointing to the right.

He felt satisfied, bent down to put on his shoes, looked up, and immediately stopped himself from taking the step. His face turned serious, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

At the other end of the road, the disaster that had just run over also subconsciously stopped in its tracks.

The two men locked eyes, their expressions simultaneously darkening, each inwardly letting out a cry of something like "Holy crap!"

"Calamity? Why is calamity here? Where is Kotegawa? Has he already been killed? Is he planning to come back and chop me up again?" Ishikawa Yasuhiro thought with utter despair.

"We have no choice but to fight!" A resolute, desperate ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the disaster.

He ripped off his robe, revealing his ugly and hideous true face for the first time.

Then, his body suddenly grew larger, transforming into a three-meter-tall, muscular little giant with a pair of long, dark blue horns on his head and a nearly two-meter-long, chilling katana in each hand.

It is called a calamity because of its unparalleled destructive power!

Seeing this, Ishikawa felt even more desperate. He wanted to run away, but his legs were as weak as two noodles and he had lost all feeling in them. Let alone running, he would probably fall to the ground if he moved.

Fortunately, at that moment, Kami Kotegawa ran over.

This attracted the attention of both the human and the monster.

Ishikawa Yasuhiro's experience of going from great sorrow to great joy was more thrilling than riding a roller coaster and a drop tower.

"Furutegawa!" he shouted excitedly.

The disaster was trapped in the middle, looking left and right with deep vigilance.

This guy with the sword felt much more dangerous to him than Ishikawa Yasuhiro!

Kotekawa Kami looked at Ishikawa Yasuhiro, who was blocking the way, paused for a moment, then gave him a thumbs up with admiration.

Impressive, Ishikawa-san? Despite being a complete weakling, you managed to avert disaster?

He knew he couldn't possess that kind of fearless spirit.

Amazing! I'm truly impressed!

Ishikawa Yasuhiro was almost in tears.

He gritted his teeth and shouted from his dantian, "Calamity, don't say I'm bullying you! I'll give you a chance to challenge my subordinate! Beat him and I'll let you go, okay?"

"Little brother?" Kotegawa Kami looked at him in surprise.

Ishikawa Yasuhiro made a gesture with his left hand that looked similar to "ok".

Well, from Kotekawa Kami's perspective, it's roughly a nine-digit number starting with five.

He fell silent.

Forget it, I'll just be your underling this time.

Chapter 165 Comet Collide with Earth

The arc-shaped blade of light sliced ​​through the rain, accompanied by a piercing sound, and slashed fiercely downwards.

This was real sword light, sweeping across the land like a raging storm, its power terrifying.

A long sword gleaming with a clear light was placed across the road. The sound of metal clashing rang out, sparks flew, and a shockwave exploded out, blocking the two unavoidable blows.

The knife and sword clashed briefly before separating, and in the blink of an eye, a new round of collisions erupted.

Calamity is also a master swordsman. His swordsmanship has the influence of many ancient sword styles, but it has also broken away from the conventional styles, and has a kind of aura of its own.

Coupled with his unparalleled strength and speed, he truly resembled a god of death, deserving of the name of calamity.

What's even more alarming is that, from the start of the fight until now, Calamity has never used his [Ultimate Skill] or [Talent].

This half-human, half-demon being, already three meters tall but still incredibly fast, must possess unique killing moves.
