In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

"Leave it here!!!"

Chapter 188 Flying Dragon

Something unexpected happened to [Deep Sea]. The waves it had unleashed suddenly stopped in a bizarre way. A certain sensation came from the body of the forbidden ghost. As if it had made a connection to something, a look of horror immediately appeared on its exquisite face.

"It really is... No!!!!"

"Hehe, looks like we succeeded after all!"

Amidst the swirling dust, Natsuki's voice rang out. Sayuri, Shirashima, Shirashima, Mai, and the others also flapped their holy light wings and appeared in mid-air.

When [Deep Sea] looked behind him, a chain formed of holy light emerged from behind the white-haired man.

One...

Two people...

Three people...

Several human women who had been imprisoned by it were being hoisted by chains and floating in mid-air. Upon seeing this, it could no longer maintain its previous posture. Not only did the forbidden ghost let out a beast-like roar, but its face also showed an angry expression.

roar!!!!!!

Seeing the other party's frustration, Xia Mu smiled and said, "As expected, Mai's analysis was correct. After rescuing them, the power of the forbidden species is rapidly dissipating. In just ten minutes, no, perhaps even less, this guy should return to his previous level, right?"

This doesn't seem surprising.

In Xia Mu's memory, if members of the Illuminati wanted to upgrade a dangerous species to the level of a forbidden species, they would have to sacrifice unimaginable flesh and blood. This process would take several years, and there was only a slight chance of producing a forbidden species!

Although this being called the "Deep Sea" can somehow draw upon the same amount of advancement channels from the holder of the sacred artifact, this method also has obvious drawbacks. Once the holder of the sacred artifact leaves the body, it cannot maintain the state of the forbidden species!

Of course, if it weren't for Mai, they probably wouldn't have been able to discover the weakness of [Deep Sea]. Even if the Holy Light power within them were restored when the opponent was in its complete form, or even if the number of people were increased several times or more, there would still be a huge gap between them and this powerful forbidden ghost!

Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of the group, they were able to rescue these artifact holders from their cages and forcibly strip them of their power from the level of forbidden species!

Xia Mu glanced behind him, especially at a woman who, even in her unconscious state, still exuded a subtle charm, and the pressure in his heart suddenly lessened. But then, remembering something, he still gave Mai and the others some instructions:

"Be careful, His power level hasn't completely dropped yet, everyone must..."

Before they could finish speaking, the waves opposite them suddenly made a series of sounds again. The attack, which should have dispersed, suddenly started moving again and formed an encirclement, directly surrounding everyone.

At the same time, the expression on the face of [Deep Sea] returned to calm, but the dangerous aura in his eyes became noticeably stronger!

He opened his mouth, and as it opened and closed, his long tongue emerged from within, adding a touch of malevolence to his presence.

"Whatever!"

"As long as I bring you back into my body, I can still return to the realm of the Forbidden Species!"

"Damn ants, this resistance is ultimately futile. Once the tide engulfs you all, all human flesh and blood will become a part of me, with no chance of leaving..."

His voice was swallowed up by the surging waves again. Seeing the attack that was about to cover the entire sky above, Xia Mu instantly realized that this guy was prepared to fight to the death and was trying to forcefully drive the power of this forbidden species to completely deprive them of any chance of escape!

He merely snorted coldly, nodded to the other holy light maidens, and then slowly uttered a solemn and authoritative voice: "Everyone, let's go all out!"

After saying that, Rika had already gripped the crossbow, and icy cold air quickly danced on her fingertips, then condensed into an arrow completely covered in icy cold air in an instant!

Upon closer inspection, the surface of the frost arrows has more patterns than before, and wisps of icy aura spread outwards through the void, as if even the void itself could freeze in the next second!

"go with!"

With a "whoosh," an icy arrow shot out from the crossbow, and Sayuri, who was beside her, also made a new move.

"call……"

Sayuri exhaled a breath of stale air, raised her greatsword, and orange-red holy light flowed along its blade. The next second, an astonishing sharpness rose up, directly piercing through the black mist above!

boom!

"Oath, the sword of victory!"

The camera moved again, and Shiroshima's eyes closed slightly. When she opened them again, the stigmata on her face had turned black and white.

This strange being moved slightly in its pupils, and its body was transformed by the dark aura simulated by holy light, returning it to its previous appearance as a "black-winged angel".

As Sayuri and Rika launched their attacks one after the other, Shiroshima calmly raised his hand. A huge blade materialized from his palm in the next second, surrounded by black holy light. With a "hum" sound, the huge blade shot out directly from his palm!

"Mai, lend me your power again!"

At this moment, Xia Mu suddenly turned to Mai and said something. Before the three girls could react, Mai smiled slightly and then pressed her lips to his.

Such a move caused Sayuri and the other two to widen their pupils. Without exception, they all recalled the previous scene. The soft touch of their lips seemed to have not yet faded, and an astonishing commotion, no less intense than the waves before their eyes, rose in their hearts, almost causing them to lose control of their attacks!

On the other side, the contact between Natsuki and Mai didn't last long. After they separated, Mai's aura weakened considerably, and the holy light on her wings dimmed. Noticing Natsuki's expression, she forced a smile and said, "It's okay, go ahead and do it!"

"Ok!"

Xia Mu nodded emphatically, and the next second, a dense holy light rose from his body, the astonishing aura even more intense than before!

He raised his gaze, looking at the waves that were about to engulf them, as if he could see beyond the waves to the deep sea behind them, and powerful holy light quickly gathered in his palm.

The Spear of Longinus!

It was the same move as before, but after it was launched, it attracted the moves of the three girls from before to converge on it. The holy light of the weapons merged and converged, eventually transforming into a flying dragon formed of holy light!

Roar!

The dragon roared and crashed directly into the waves. The next second, a terrifying tremor suddenly emanated from the point of impact.

boom!!!!!!

Chapter 189 The Curtain Falls

"Uh...uh..."

[Deep Sea] lowered its head and looked at its upper body, where a terrifying hole appeared. At the same time, the forbidden ghost it controlled was also stunned. The huge hole had replaced its abdomen!

pat!

pat!

A black, unidentified liquid was continuously flowing down from the cave entrance, and in just a short while, it had completely dyed the surrounding land black.

The Deep Sea seemed to realize something only then, raising its palm with an expression of disbelief on its face: "I actually... failed...?"

As the number one person below the top of the pyramid in the Illuminati, [Deep Sea] has an extremely high status. Looking at the whole earth, apart from the five beings who possess forbidden species, there are very few who can find an opponent!

Of course, for every member of the Illuminati, their ideal is to restore the glory of the Illuminati, and the forbidden species of demons is an important way to achieve this ideal!

Unexpectedly, after finally reaching the realm he had longed for through this method, even going so far as to remove the demons from his body, it all came to nothing in the end. Everything he had achieved had become a complete illusion!

Thinking of this, [Deep Sea] looked up at the sky unwillingly, its mouth opening and closing as if it wanted to say something, but the loss of ghost power in its body still made it only able to let out a hoarse roar, until its body and the forbidden seed turned into quicksand and dissipated in mid-air. The little light in its eyes eventually faded away.

hum-

After the Forbidden Species Ghost died in the Deep Sea, its body immediately transformed into a Soul Crystal. Compared to before, this Soul Crystal was significantly larger, and it still retained some of the terrifying power of the Forbidden Species. If you looked closely, you could vaguely see a Forbidden Species roaring and howling on the surface of the Soul Crystal, shaking the heavens!

However, this seemingly terrifying soul crystal was still held in the hand of a white-haired man, who couldn't help but sigh, "Finally... we defeated this guy!"

When Natsuki first encountered the forbidden demon, he was prepared to die, especially after the near-destructive attack, which brought him to the brink of despair.

To his surprise, Mai, who was initially thought to have failed to awaken the [Sacred Artifact], unexpectedly activated the Holy Light power within her, thus becoming a Holy Light Girl like Sayuri and the others.

In the subsequent battle, Mai displayed almost crucial healing power, giving everyone the confidence to defeat the forbidden demon, which was the reason why the defeat was reversed!

Of course, the most important thing was their concerted attack, which prevented this forbidden ghost from exerting its full power. If time could be reversed again, Xia Mu would not have much confidence that he could defeat this terrifying ghost again!

Fortunately, after everyone's tireless efforts, they finally defeated it. He turned his head, glanced at Sayuri and the others' faces one by one, and then smiled and said, "Everyone, thank you for your hard work!"

At this moment, with the death of the forbidden demon, the black fog that had almost enveloped a large part of Shibuya gradually dissipated, and the gentle moonlight shone on the ground. Looking at the gradually emerging phantom of the city, people on the other side of the blockade line couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Look... the black mist... the black mist is dissipating!"

"Hurry...hurry up and get there..."

"Concentrate your forces, pay attention to the survivors, and allow soldiers to enter first!"

Under the command of the military, a large group of soldiers marched into this place that had once been shrouded in black fog.

Upon arriving at the city, which resembled ruins, the man, a top-ranking military commander, couldn't help but freeze in shock, even though he had prepared himself mentally.

"Such a thing actually exists!"

Ruins completely filled the view ahead. Looking inside, one could vaguely see bodies lying helplessly on the ground. This horrific scene caused the man's expression to change drastically, and the officers around him also showed expressions of fear.

This country is probably about to undergo a major upheaval!

……

"...According to calculations by on-site personnel, this unexplained incident has resulted in a total of XXX casualties, with XXX deaths and injuries..."

Looking at the news broadcast on TV, Xia Mu's expression was serious, especially the pale number of words, which made his heart feel heavy.

Several days have passed since the last incident, and the official statistics have finally been released. Compared with previous natural disasters, the number of casualties this time is undoubtedly quite exaggerated. Even compared with the most terrible earthquake in history, the impact of this incident is no less than that of the most devastating earthquake.

The most extreme outcome is that the once bustling Shibuya has been completely reduced to ruins. Although reconstruction work is underway, everyone knows that it may take a long time. The families of the countless dead and injured have also become innocent victims in this incident!

Thinking of this, Xia Mu subconsciously clenched his fists. He finally directly felt the level of danger from the forbidden ghost. If they hadn't eliminated it in time, who knows what kind of crisis this ghost would have brought to this country and even the whole world?

Natsuki finally understood why such an incredible thing as "Heaven's Way" existed in the world. After all, just a single forbidden demon had almost caused the bustling streets of Shibuya to collapse. If it were allowed to continue its rampage, the people of this island nation would hardly survive!

The near-world-destroying power of the forbidden demons is still far too dangerous for the fragile human race today!

Perhaps, at least nuclear-level terrifying weapons would be needed to threaten the forbidden species of ghosts, but by then, it might already be a serious crisis for the survival of the nation, or even all of humanity!

After this incident, Xia Mu had no doubt that not only this country, but perhaps other countries in the world would gradually take notice of the Illuminati's existence. Although it could not be guaranteed that they would have the power to fight against the organization, it was at least worthwhile to make all of humanity pay attention to it!

As for Xia Mu, he had done his best to protect the lives of the humans present at the time. However, the Holy Light Squad's strength was still too weak at the time. They tried their best, but could only barely defeat that forbidden monster.

As for those who died innocently in this process, if their life force was absorbed by the ghosts, they might have a chance to survive. However, most of them were killed by the ghosts and could not be brought back to life through the above methods. In particular, there were even more lives lost to the aftershocks of the forbidden ghosts' power!

Chapter 190 Wings of Holy Light

"...Fortunately, we managed to get all of these things back in the end..."

As Xia Mu muttered to himself, he looked at the [Holy Artifact] in the box in front of him.
