Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Seeing that more and more ghostly passersby were about to surround them, Fujita Mino immediately grabbed Shimizu Suzune's hand and they started running down the street.

As I said before, the physical abilities of those blessed by divine artifacts far surpass those of ordinary people, so the two divine envoys ran dozens of meters in an instant without even breaking a sweat.

At that moment, Fujita Mino suddenly thought of something, so she slowed down and whispered in Shimizu Suzune's ear, "Hey, how about we just run to Nerima Ward and meet up with them?"

Shimizu Suzune turned her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Good idea, let's head northwest!"

There's no other way now. The network in the area has been paralyzed, and all the ordinary people in the area have grown horns and turned into "ghosts." The only solution now is to find them and reunite.

And so, Shimizu Suzune and Fujita Mino ran at a speed of about sixty per hour, heading northwest.

at the same time.

Nerima Ward.

The red barrier covers a vast area, extending beyond Chiyoda Ward to encompass the entire Tokyo metropolitan area. Nerima Ward, also part of the Tokyo metropolitan area, was similarly affected by the red barrier and the red moon.

However, contrary to the ideas of Shimizu Suzune and Fujita Mino, Morita Jun and Ishikawa Risa decided to leave after failing to contact their teammates.

Where are they going?

That's right, they're going to Chiyoda Ward, where they also plan to find Shimizu Suzune and Fujita Mino to reunite.

What's worse, Shimizu Suzune and Fujita Mino's route was to first head north and then west.

Jun Morita and Risa Ishikawa, on the other hand, first headed south and then east.

Because the two teams were too far apart and were shrouded in ghostly power, they did not realize that they had missed each other.

In this way, the two divine forces perfectly avoided each other and then arrived at the area where the other had originally been.

During her journey, Risa Ishikawa discovered that there were no living people along the way, only ghosts and spirits, leaving her no choice but to take a detour.

She couldn't resist complaining to Jun Morita, "Hey, Morita-san, I'm starting to feel like this place is getting weirder and weirder. It seems like there are a hundred demons here too..."

“Your feeling is right.” Jun Morita said noncommittally, then added, “It seems we need to speed things up and get back to the Shinto Hall to meet up with them.”

Risa Ishikawa nodded, replying as she ran, "Yeah, I hope they're alright!"

As Risa Ishikawa and Jun Morita stepped into Chiyoda Ward, Suzune Shimizu and Mino Fujita also stepped into Nerima Ward.

However, they had only been in the Nerima area for less than a minute when they noticed something strange flying over their heads and hovering in mid-air.

Shimizu Suzune and Fujita Mino both looked at the "thing" in mid-air.

That thing was none other than Hanako-san, but tonight's Hanako-san was different. Countless ghostly hands were floating behind her, like a great demon descending upon the real world.

Shimizu Suzune's pupils contracted, and she immediately summoned a white blade in her hand. She leaned back slightly and then thrust it forward with force, preparing to give Hanako a taste of her power.

However, the blade only traveled two or three meters before stopping. The demonic hand behind Hanako gripped the blade, and no matter how hard Shimizu Rinne thrust forward, it was to no avail.

The White Blade was, after all, a divine weapon. Those ghostly hands that grasped it with their bare hands were not unharmed. They were burned by the divine light on the White Blade, and some of the ghostly hands turned to ashes after being continuously burned.

Therefore, from Fujita Mino's perspective, although Shimizu Suzune's attack was blocked, the Demon Hand suffered a significant loss, and the myth of the Demon King was shattered.

Fujita Mino swiftly summoned the Ama-no-Murakumo sword in her hand, and without saying a word, she leaped forward and stabbed at the demon hand.

Before the attack, Fujita Mino had already mentally prepared herself for the possibility that the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi would be parried or dodged by the demon hand.

But to her surprise, before her sword had gone very far, something grabbed her ankles.

"thump!"

And just like that, Fujita Mino fell to the ground, the fall hurt her a lot, and the ground was even dented from the impact.

Fortunately, although she smashed a hole in the ground, the girl only suffered minor scrapes, which were quickly healed by her body's healing abilities.

Startled, Fujita Mino quickly turned her head and discovered that the hand grabbing her ankle was the same kind of ghostly hand that Hanako had on her back—both were dark and menacing.

The ghostly hands gripping her ankles were not just one or two pairs, but several, seemingly to ensure they could hold her feet.

When Fujita Mino grabbed her sword, ready to sever the demonic hands, they retreated and shrank back into the ground.

Seeing the target disappear, Fujita Mino quickly got up. At this moment, the tense standoff between Shimizu Suzune and Hanako-san had ended—Shimizu Suzune had been disarmed, and Bai Ren had been grabbed by the demon hand.

But the next second, the white blade that had been grabbed disappeared from the demon's hand and returned to Shimizu Suzune's hand.

Hanako's face showed a hint of surprise at Shimizu Suzune's "magic trick," but she quickly changed her expression and became ferocious.

She directed the demonic hand to grab at Shimizu Suzune's face, and at the same time directed it to grab at Fujita Mino's neck.

Following the same pattern, Shimizu Rinne brandished her white blade and severed the first ghostly hand that had grabbed her.

However, when she raised her hand again to cut off the second ghost hand, she found that she could not cut it off with one strike.

This second ghostly hand was much thicker than the first, and it was impossible to cut it off in one go with such divine power and strength alone.

It didn't matter; if one cut wasn't enough, then two would do. That's what Shimizu Suzune was thinking. Then, as she severed the second demon hand, she was surprised to find that other demon hands had already taken the opportunity to grab her hands and feet.

Fujita Mino's situation was no better; even with her Ama-no-Murakumo sword, she couldn't sever the demon hand that was grabbing her with a single strike using only normal attacks.

With no other option, Fujita Mino could only retreat a considerable distance, away from the demon hand, in preparation for launching a ranged attack.

While still engaged in close combat with Hanako, Shimizu Suzune, seeing this situation, quickly broke free from the demon's grasp using both hands and feet, retreating rapidly to the side to form a pincer movement with Fujita Mino.

Next, Fujita Mino raised the Ame-no-Murakumo sword high, chanting, "My most beloved and benevolent god, please lend me your power!"

After finishing the chant, Fujita Mino felt her divine power was unprecedentedly abundant. She swung the Ame-no-Murakumo sword forward, and a divine light exploded in front of her, spreading all the way towards Hanako-san.

The divine light was so strong that it shot straight into the sky, as if it would pierce through the earth.

The light overwhelmed all other light except for Hanako's, making the already dark sky as bright as day.

The immense divine power swept over Hanako like a tornado, engulfing the entire city of Tokyo.

All the divine messengers and ghosts within the city, regardless of their cultivation level, clearly sensed this powerful energy.

In fact, not everyone in Tokyo was under control. Several police inspectors, equipped with peach wood swords, were not affected by the barrier and were currently seeking refuge to avoid conflict with the ghosts.

When they sensed this almost invincible divine light, they were all stunned and at a loss for what to do.

However, even when faced with such a powerful divine attack, Miss Hanako did not choose to dodge. Instead, she used all the demonic hands to wrap herself up and prepared to withstand the divine power head-on.

Just as the divine power struck Hanako-san, another burst of light exploded—

"BOOM—!!"

Golden and scarlet light intertwined, devouring each other as they spiraled upwards into the sky.

A white beam of light shot straight into the sky.

This explosion was even more powerful than the previous divine light explosion. It not only alerted the other divine messengers and ghosts, but also pushed them back a considerable distance.

The shockwave whipped up billowing dust, the massive ash cloud effectively blotting out the sun, and the red moon overhead completely disappeared.

Shimizu Suzune, who was standing to the side, was knocked back several steps by the powerful shockwave before she finally regained her footing.

Even the buildings and vehicles where she was standing were all blown into the air by the blast wave, and the ground beneath her feet was instantly leveled.

Everything near the explosion's epicenter, including buildings, was blasted into the air, leaving behind a massive crater the size of several football fields.

So, in just a few seconds, half the village was blown up.

On the other side, Fujita Mino, who had just unleashed her full power, also did not expect that the attack would be so powerful. She was also blown back several steps by the shockwave.

Ignoring the destruction around her, Fujita Mino turned to Shimizu Suzune, who was shrouded in dust, and asked, "Where's Hanako? Is she dead?!"

It was almost an interrogative tone.

However, Shimizu Suzune could not give a definite answer, and she was also struggling to find Hanako's whereabouts amidst the billowing dust.

The surrounding environment was filled not only with smoke and dust, but also with the demonic and divine powers that had collapsed due to the collision. These forces were highly disruptive, preventing the two of them from sensing Hanako's location.

Not only Hanako, but also Shimizu Suzune and Fujita Mino were unable to sense any living beings around them at this moment, as if they had all been covered up by the "nuclear explosion".

indeed so.

Those ghosts and the army of a hundred demons who had been hiding in the shadows and watching the battle from the edge of the battlefield began to tremble with fear.

Those people who were controlled by the red moon and the barrier were also briefly out of control due to the powerful impact. Their demon horns disappeared, and they returned to normal humans.

Chapter 136 Hanako and Sachiko

The smoke and chaotic energy from the explosion lingered, hindering the divine messenger's further actions.

With their vision obstructed, Shimizu Suzune and Fujita Mino were unable to determine Hanako's condition, but judging from the crater created by the explosion, the power of such an explosion was more than enough to destroy elite ghosts.

What are elite ghosts?

Those are spirits below the level of the Demon King, like Kikuko Yamamura and the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

Of course, this is to be expected; any divine artifact possesses the power to destroy such elite ghosts.

Before the smoke had cleared and the two divine messengers were still assessing the battle situation, Hanako, who had previously disappeared, reappeared in the air.

The explosion did indeed affect her; she and the ground beneath her feet were blasted into the sky.

Hanako, who had been blown into the air, had black blood flowing from her forehead, running down her face and dripping into the soil.

Hanako touched her forehead, looked at the blood in her palm, and stared in disbelief.

She tilted her head back, and green flames began to burn in her crimson pupils. Then, her body emitted a ghostly scream—

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!"

Beneath this ghostly howl, from the soil where Hanako's blood dripped, vibrant red spider lilies sprouted.

That's right, it's the red spider lily.

After growing, these ghosts began to spread in all directions and soon reached the feet of the two divine messengers, Shimizu Suzune and Fujita Mino.

The first to be affected was Fujita Mino's foot. She suddenly felt a piercing pain in her calf, causing her to scream uncontrollably, "—It hurts!"

Dark blood was flowing from her fair calves, as if she had been poisoned.

Furthermore, even stranger than the black blood, the leg injury could not be healed by the power of the divine force.

Upon hearing the sound, Shimizu Rinne looked and saw that amidst the ghostly mist and smoke, clusters of spider lilies had sprouted, and it was these spider lilies that had stung Fujita Mino.

Shimizu Suzune raised her white blade, attempting to eradicate the wildly growing spider lilies one by one, but the effect was limited. The spider lilies grew extremely fast, and soon filled the exposed gaps.

Fujita Mino, who was standing to the side, looked pale because she had been poisoned by the spider lily.

Seeing that Shimizu Rinne was struggling more and more, Fujita Mino wanted to help Shimizu Rinne and wanted to use the Ama-no-Kura-no-Tsurugi to cut off the spider lily vines.

But it was no use. She felt her strength rapidly disappearing, and if this continued, she might die.
