Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Is it a form of ghost magic?

Maybe!

Then we need to hurry!

Even before you enter the foyer, you can see traces of urban legends everywhere—bloodstains, claw marks, and writhing tentacles formed from ghostly power.

Based on Fujita Mino's experience, this demon's strength is probably comparable to that of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, but it should not be underestimated. Right now, I am in the open while the enemy is in the dark, so I still have to be careful.

No problem, next, Fujita Mino will perform the real exorcism process.

She touched the tip of the Muramasa sword to the ground and dragged it along, causing the surrounding tentacles to rapidly contract under the influence of the Muramasa sword.

A short while later, Fujita Mino followed the direction in which the tentacles retreated and found the male homeowner hiding in the living room cabinet.

Before even opening the cupboard, Fujita Mino noticed that the male homeowner was curled up, trembling uncontrollably!

Fujita Mino didn't plan to go forward and open the cupboard to lure the male homeowner out; she decided to eliminate the ghost first.

She looked around.

This is a very common living room. After entering, you can see a small low table, a few cushions, and finally a wall-mounted TV. That's all there is to it as a "living room".

This simple arrangement actually helped Fujita Mino, because she could see at a glance where the ghost was hiding.

Just then, Fujita Mino suddenly sensed something ominous approaching from outside the door. Turning her head, she saw a ghost that looked like a child crawling in.

This ghost was indeed a child, looking only two or three years old, with its entire body dark green, and only its mouth, ears, eyes, and nose could be vaguely seen.

The mouth, ears, eyes, and nose were scarlet.

When Fujita Mino noticed the ghost, the ghost baby also saw Fujita Mino and grinned a sinister smile.

"Mom, Mom..." Its gaping mouth stretched all the way to its ears, making it look exactly like a baby born from a woman with a gaping mouth.

"Mom?" Fujita Mino noticed the key word. Could this ghost baby be mistaking her for its mother?

If that's the case, it would be truly unexpected and terrible!

However, Fujita Mino calmly raised her Muramasa sword, pointing the tip at the demon baby: "Even if you call me 'Grandma,' I will not let you go."

The ghost baby showed no intention of running away.

Based on Fujita Mino's experience, ghosts are not fast runners, so they usually settle in one place and then do evil.

"Face the storm!"

With a loud shout, Fujita Mino swung her long sword and flashed past without saying a word, the blade aimed straight at the ghost infant's brow.

Rumbling--

In the cramped room, a bright flash erupted instantly, and ten blades of light slashed toward the face of the ghost infant.

However, at the very moment it was about to hit, the blade strangely shifted!

All the blades struck the raised low table, shattering it into pieces!

"?!" Fujita Mino's pupils contracted. On the other side of the flashing blade, she sheathed the Muramasa sword and turned to look back.

“…What’s going on?” Fujita Mino looked up and muttered to herself.

After confirming it several times, Fujita Mino finally admitted a fact—the slash she had just unleashed did not hit the ghost infant, but instead struck the table next to it.

"Then let's do it again!" Fujita Mino gritted her teeth, weighed the power flowing within her body, and drew her sword once more!

This time, she had only just drawn her knife a short distance away, before the blade could even strike, when she felt something grab her right foot. Losing her balance, she fell to the ground with a thud!

"Ouch!"

Despite the tatami floor, it still caused Fujita Mino pain, and she couldn't help but let out a scream.

Before she could even cry over the pain, Fujita Mino immediately turned around and saw that the person grabbing her was none other than the ghost hand, but an elderly man in his sixties.

The old man grinned maliciously, crawling on the ground like a ghost infant, and kept dragging Fujita Mino's feet, trying to drag her into hell.

Fujita Mino turned her head and saw that the cabinet door, which had been tightly closed, was now open. If she wasn't mistaken, this person was the ghost hiding in the cabinet window.

It wasn't until this moment that Fujita Mino realized that the house was indeed haunted, but the entire family living there were ghosts, and the elderly woman from before might also be a ghost.

"Oh no..." Fujita Mino secretly groaned. Just then, she noticed another set of footsteps entering through the entrance hall.

As expected, the "person" who walked in from the entrance was the old woman at the door. She was also grinning maliciously, like a hunter who had spotted his prey, and she approached Fujita Mino.

With things having come to this point, Fujita Mino didn't care about anything else. She sat up abruptly, brandishing Muramasa, and slashed at the demon grandfather's hand!

However, Grandpa Ghost wasn't stupid. Having achieved its goal, it released Fujita Mino's hand and floated away with a smile that was both "kind" and "amiable."

"Hehehe..." Grandpa Ghost flew to the ceiling and hung upside down like a bat.

Fujita Mino couldn't worry about that now; what was more important was dealing with the old hag who had already attacked.

The approaching old hag used a cane to forcefully strike Fujita Mino's neck, but Fujita Mino tilted her head, successfully dodging the attack.

However, the cane still slammed hard into Fujita Mino's right shoulder. The girl, in pain, stumbled backward and fell to the floor, while the Muramasa sword fell to the side.

The old hag didn't seem to have any intention of letting Fujita Mino go. She then leaped forward and thrust her cane at Fujita Mino's forehead!

Fujita Mino tried to grab Muramasa, but her right hand was injured and somewhat numb, so she couldn't exert any strength and could only hold him with her left hand.

You can draw your sword with your left hand too!

Fujita Mino held the knife in her left hand, and in a flash, all the light of the blade slashed at the old woman.

The old woman grinned maliciously and used her cane to block all ten of Muramasa's slashes, the only price being a few knife marks on her cane.

After parrying the sword strike, the old woman seized the opportunity to stab Fujita Mino in the abdomen with her cane, knocking her to the ground while she was still in mid-air!

Fujita Mino rolled to the ground, the Muramasa sword slipped from her hand again, and she couldn't care less about anything else. She involuntarily clutched her stomach, cold sweat pouring down her forehead.

A trickle of blood was still flowing from the corner of her mouth, but she couldn't move. She just stared at the old woman, the ghost baby, and the old man.

The old woman walked up and said with a cold smile, "Little girl, don't blame me for being heartless. I think you're quite kind, so I'd like to take you in as my daughter."

daughter?

Fujita Mino turned her head and looked at the ghost baby that had been staying in the corner without making any move.

Then what is he?

Fujita Mino asked herself.

The old woman seemed to sense Fujita Mino's thoughts and revealed a wicked smile, saying, "That's my grandson."

Upon hearing this, the ghost baby surprisingly cooperated and called out to Fujita Mino again, "Mom...Mom..."

When she heard "Mom," Fujita Mino almost broke down. Her mind couldn't process it. She never imagined that such a melodramatic plot would happen to her.

"Come, let me help you shed your human body of suffering, and then you will be reborn as a ghost, as my daughter," the old woman said, licking her lips.

What is rhythm?

The old hag is going to kill her?

Or should we eat her?

No matter what, Fujita Mino doesn't want to become a demon. What's so good about becoming a demon? You're like a rat in the sewers, unable to see the light!

"Stop dreaming..." Thanks to a short rest, Fujita Mino's hands have recovered somewhat. Now, she can not only stand up, but also pick up the Muramasa sword.

Seeing this, the old woman lost all interest, but revealed an even more sinister smile. She said, "I understand, rebellious kids need to be taught a lesson little by little."

It seems that Granny Ghost thinks she has Fujita Mino completely under her control, which is why she is so confident and taking her time.

“Indeed…” Fujita Mino wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, “I may not be able to defeat the three of you demons, but can you really stop me from escaping?”

Upon hearing this, the faces of the three ghosts—the baby ghost, the old woman ghost, and the old man ghost—darkened. The three ghosts exerted their strength together, their bodies becoming abnormally twisted, trying to surround the girl.

Fujita Mino brandished her long sword, transforming it into a flash of light, and fled from the living room all the way to the entrance hall, escaping the house.

Because the ten cuts missed, Fujita Mino's thigh suffered pain it shouldn't have had to endure.

But compared to survival, it's nothing!

After Fujita Mino fled the house, she immediately looked back and saw that the three ghosts were still persistent, climbing out of the roof like dark clouds and staring down at Fujita Mino from mid-air.

Upon seeing this, Fujita Mino was so frightened that she immediately turned and ran. However, due to her injured thigh, she could not run fast and could only limp along the road.

Just as Fujita Mino was wondering whether she should use the slash attack again to escape, a patrol car drove up in front of her.

saved?

Fujita Mino had just entertained such a thought when she quickly suppressed it. After being confronted by the old woman's change of heart, she could no longer trust anyone.

Fujita Mino intended to run around the police car, but the police car seemed to notice her unusual behavior and pulled over.

To Fujita Mino's surprise, the person who got out of the police car was carrying a peach wood sword instead of a baton.

Two police inspectors came down, one fat and one thin. The taller, thinner inspector stepped forward and asked, "This shrine maiden, are you alright?"

The obese police inspector then showed his identification: "By the way, we are from the Shinto Bureau. Judging from your current condition, have you perhaps encountered a ghost?"

Fujita Mino took a slight breath before looking up at the two inspectors behind her—surprisingly, the three demons hadn't followed.

"Yes, I need your help now. I need to get back to Shinto Hall immediately," Fujita Mino said breathlessly.

The two police inspectors, one tall and one thin, looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

The priestess just said "return to the Shinto Hall," and there are currently only three priestesses in the Shinto Hall.

Could this person be the second divine messenger?

Chapter 113 The Kusanagi Sword

The tall, thin police inspector tentatively asked, "Let me confirm your identity first. Are you the Second Divine Envoy, Fujita Mino?"

The two police inspectors are not of high rank, and Fujita Mino does not often appear in public due to her studies, so she is not easily recognizable.

Fujita Mino glanced at it again.

Behind the two inspectors, a ghostly mist was beginning to rise, indicating that the three ghosts were still hesitating about whether to launch an attack.

Since that's the case, there can be no hesitation. Fujita Mino immediately said in a commanding tone, "Yes, I am. I am now ordering you two to send me back to the Shinto Hall as the Second Divine Messenger."

"Yes, sir!" The two inspectors immediately stood at attention. How could they dare to hesitate? They knew that even the Second Divine Envoy couldn't defeat the ghosts, so they were no match for them!

Staying here means certain death!
