Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Indeed, everyone was busy, especially Jun Morita and Risa Ishikawa, who were on guard against the procession of the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons).

The procession was still moving forward, and had already passed eighty-five ghosts in front of the two divine messengers. Moreover, judging from the corner, there were at least a few dozen more ghosts to come out.

At this moment, Risa Ishikawa finally remembered that she should take out her phone and take a picture of this scene.

When she took out her phone, she found that it had no network connection, so she couldn't receive messages in the group chat, but she could still take pictures.

"What are you doing?" Jun Morita couldn't help but tap her when he saw her trying to take a picture.

"I want to take a picture." Ishikawa Risa was a little confused, not understanding why Morita Jun was stopping her.

However, Jun Morita said, "Don't take pictures. We don't know the abilities of the spirits in the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) procession. What if one of them reacts to being photographed? Besides, you can't take pictures on mute, can you?"

"Ah, that makes sense..." Risa Ishikawa belatedly realized that Japanese law stipulates that mobile phone photography cannot be silent, and it is impossible to silence it by means of hardware; otherwise, it would be considered a violation of the law.

Therefore, the only team that is still relatively free right now is Fujita Mino, who was the first to see Shimizu Suzune's plea for help.

So, Fujita Mino let the police inspector who was driving go back first, and then she ran on foot in the direction where Shimizu Suzune was.

Now that she is a divine messenger, her running speed has long surpassed the world record, and she arrived at her destination in no time.

However, Fujita Mino did not intend to enter the sewer system just like that; instead, she went above the system to check the surrounding situation.

Sure enough, there was something strange about the surroundings. She found this place to be different from other places; no other ghostly power could be detected within a radius of several kilometers.

Now, only the two intertwined demonic forces from the sewers entered Fujita Mino's eyes.

This means that Fujita Mino can be even more certain that Tenjin School and Hanako-san are hiding in the sewers.

However, Fujita Mino didn't want to just stay like this and end up dying with Shimizu Suzune. Since arriving here, she had some concerns, and her eyelids kept twitching, which she considered an ominous sign.

Then, Fujita Mino discovered a new situation: she found a huge demonic force moving in the northwest direction.

That vastness wasn't in the intensity of the ghostly power, but in the sheer number of beings.

At that moment, Fujita Mino's phone received a message from Shimizu Suzune.

I see you! Why aren't you coming down? Let's go inside and take a look.

Fujita Mino put away her phone and looked up into the distance. She could now detect not only the surge of demonic power, but also, like Shimizu Rinne, the direction of the divine messenger based on divine power.

So when Fujita Mino entered this area, her location was seen by Shimizu Suzune, and naturally, she also saw Shimizu Suzune.

There was no other way; since the other party had reminded me like this, it would be unreasonable not to go to the scene.

Fujita Mino entered the sewer and started running in the direction of Shimizu Suzune.

Tokyo's sewer system is very large, but the water volume is usually very low, so most of the sewer system is dry. There are even homeless people and stray dogs resting in the huge sewers.

Fujita Mino ran all the way and soon arrived at Shimizu Suzune's side. What was placed in front of them was a scarlet entrance to another dimension.

Fujita Mino stepped forward and asked Shimizu Suzune, "What's the situation now?"

Shimizu Suzune shook her head and said, "I'm not sure yet. I'm wondering if we should both go inside and take a look?"

“I object,” Fujita Mino said softly. “If it’s a battle against the Demon King, we all have to attack together.”

Shimizu Suzune glanced at Fujita Mino's resolute expression, smiled, and said, "Alright, alright, I promise you."

Fujita Mino hadn't expected Shimizu Suzune to back down so quickly. She had originally wanted to argue with her and tell her not to act on her own.

As a result, this is it?

Shimizu Rinne gazed at the entrance to the alternate dimension in front of her and sighed, "However, I can't contact Morita Jun and Ishikawa Risa right now. They're not replying to my messages, and I don't know what they're doing."

Fujita Mino thought for a moment and then hypothesized, "Could they have encountered other demon kings?"

Shimizu Suzune paused for a moment, then replied somewhat uncertainly, "That's unlikely..."

Fujita Mino pointed to the northwest direction, "Didn't you notice? There's a huge demonic energy reaction in that direction right now."

That place is Nerima Ward.

"Huh? Is there?" Shimizu Suzune turned around and activated the detection, but did not detect the so-called enormous demonic power.

Shimizu Rin shook her head and said, "I didn't see it. It's probably in the sewers, blocked by the building."

At this moment, Fujita Mino also discovered that she could no longer detect the immense demonic power from the northwest.

So, she could only agree, "Maybe..."

Just as the two were pondering what to do, a message finally appeared in the group chat.

[Ishikawa Risa: Guess what we just discovered? We saw a hundred demons parading in the street! I roughly counted, and there were over a hundred demons! And they weren't just any ordinary demons! They were all elites!]

Upon seeing this message, Shimizu Suzune and Fujita Mino looked at each other, momentarily at a loss for words.

After a while, Fujita Mino was the first to ask Shimizu Suzune, "More than a hundred ghosts? Really?"

Instead of answering her question, Shimizu Suzune countered with, "And they're not kids, they're all elites?"

Shimizu Suzune frowned, sighed, and said, "If what they're saying is true, then this is really bad..."

Fujita Mino, however, became optimistic again: "It's okay, Shimizu-san. The four of us can kill one demon a day, and we can wipe them all out in a month."

Shimizu Suzune couldn't help but give her a disdainful look and remarked, "You really are quite diligent."

However, Fujita Mino didn't buy into Shimizu Suzune's sarcastic remarks. Instead, she smiled and said, "I'll take that as a compliment, hehe."

At that moment, a new message appeared in the group chat, and Shimizu Suzune and Fujita Mino checked the message almost simultaneously.

[Ishikawa Risa: We're planning to catch up with the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) procession and see what's going on. Do you want to come along?]

Shimizu Suzune was very dissatisfied with this news. Wasn't she supposed to be investigating Hanako-san right now? How could she be distracted by other urban legends?!

You must understand, Hanako will soon become the Demon King, and it will be within these two or three hours. If the window of opportunity is missed, the consequences will be dire.

So, Shimizu Suzune immediately typed:

【No, you two must come to me immediately! Forget about the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, prepare to fight Hanako!】

Then, send it.

As soon as she finished sending the message, she was surprised to find that the interdimensional entrance in front of her seemed to have become larger than before.

Ignoring the volume of her voice, Shimizu Suzune pointed out directly: "Fujita, look, isn't this entrance bigger than before?"

Fujita Mino did not answer. She raised her head and looked at the ever-expanding entrance to the alternate dimension.

It expanded rapidly, from the size of a small child to the size of an adult, and it continued to expand at an extremely fast pace, making its contents completely visible.

Without a doubt, the building in the alternate dimension is a school, specifically the Celestial School, which is rapidly expanding and is expected to be established here in a short time.

Seeing that the alternate dimension was about to engulf the two of them, Shimizu Suzune quickly grabbed Fujita Mino and ran, "Run!"

Upon seeing this, Fujita Mino naturally took off running, and in no time she and Shimizu Suzune ran out of the sewer.

As they ran out of the sewers, the red ghostly mist from the alternate dimension also drifted out of the sewers, quickly enveloping the surrounding buildings.

And so, right before the eyes of the two divine messengers, the crimson ghostly mist rapidly spread throughout the entire world.

A blood moon rose, and with the help of the ghostly mist, a crimson world descended.

Fujita Mino swallowed hard, completely bewildered by what was happening before her: "My God, what's going on?"

Shimizu Rin shook her head: "I don't know, but what I do know is that the whole world is in grave danger."

At this moment, the two of them longed to see their god immediately and ask for his guidance.

However, the High God clearly doesn't like to have to do everything himself, so this matter can only be resolved by the divine messengers.

"Shimizu-san, look!" Fujita Mino suddenly reminded Shimizu Suzune, who immediately looked in the direction of the voice.

Then they saw that the crowds walking on the road were shrouded in ghostly mist, and ghostly horns grew on their foreheads.

Chapter 135 Red Moon

The passersby became very strange. After growing demon horns, they saw the two divine messengers, Shimizu Suzune and Fujita Mino, as enemies and actually walked towards them.

Since they hadn't figured out the situation yet, and to avoid harming passersby as much as possible, Shimizu Suzune and Fujita Mino could only retreat to avoid close combat with these demonized passersby.

However, there were too many enemies. In that instant, it seemed as if every passerby in the world had turned into an enemy and was about to surround them.

During the retreat, Shimizu Suzune maintained a defensive stance while ordering Fujita Mino, "Fujita, quickly notify the other two to come and provide support!"

"They" refers to Jun Morita and Risa Ishikawa. Mino Fujita dared not slack off in the slightest and immediately took out her phone, ready to send a message or make a call to the two of them.

However, Fujita Mino reported to her senior like this: "Shimizu-san, my phone has no signal! It says it's out of service area!"

Shimizu Suzune frowned, looking at the red filter in front of her, and muttered uncertainly, "Could it be this barrier that's causing this?"

Yes, from that moment on, the world was no longer its original color, but a filtered world dominated by red.

Suzune Shimizu didn't know what this world was, so she decided to call it a "barrier".

Fujita Mino immediately grasped the meaning of the term "barrier" and readily accepted it.

So, Fujita Mino asked somewhat anxiously, "Then what do we do?"

“We can only try to break or get out of this barrier.” Shimizu Suzune said, holding the Nether Bow in her left hand and nocking the white blade in her right, she drew back the bowstring and aimed at the red night sky in front of her.

Fujita Mino was quite surprised by Shimizu Suzune's action. Why did she have to unleash such a powerful move right away? If a battle breaks out later, you might not have enough strength to fight the enemy.

Despite her thoughts, Fujita Mino did not stop Shimizu Suzune from charging up her power. Instead, she stood aside, holding the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi to provide Shimizu Suzune with safety.

In fact, Shimizu Suzune did not charge up to the maximum before releasing her grip and shooting out the partially charged white blade.

The white blade streaked across the sky like a shooting star flying backwards, bursting into flames as it flew, illuminating the dim night sky, and then, nothing more.

After the white blade disappeared, the night sky, which had been illuminated, instantly dimmed again, returning to its original red color.

The white blade that disappeared into the night sky then returned to Shimizu Suzune's hand, transforming into divine light and merging into her body.

Despite Akechi Shimizu Suzune's failed attempt to break the deadlock, Fujita Mino still stepped forward to ask with concern, "How did it go?"

Shimizu Suzune stroked her chin and frowned as she analyzed, "It's obvious that the attack was ineffective. Either the barrier is too large to reach its boundaries, or it's too powerful to deplete its demonic energy."

Fujita Mino opened her mouth, wanting to say something to Shimizu Suzune, but at this moment, she was surprised to find that the white blade attack just now had attracted the nearby ghost passersby to gather in this direction.

Shimizu Rin retracted the Nether Bow, but because she had just used up some strength, she felt somewhat dazed and couldn't figure out how to fight back for a moment.

"Run!"
