In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

"What?!?!"

Her eyes widened as she stared at the ghostly creature that had reappeared in the dust, her expression filled with disbelief: "Are you kidding me? Could it be that even the immense power I just possessed couldn't take this guy down?"

Shiroshima also frowned.

This is the terrifying aspect of forbidden species. Although they are only in their rudimentary form, their soul power and physical strength far surpass those of dangerous species. It's unimaginable how much luck played a role in their ability to defeat forbidden species in the past!

Roar! ! !

The ghost roared again, and within the fleshy ball beneath it, an indescribable change was taking place. Inside, tadpole-like creatures, seemingly alive, were constantly gathering as it roared. Thinking about the changes happening to the creature at this moment, a terrifying thought suddenly popped into Shiroshima's mind.

Is this guy undergoing a transformation?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Shiroshima noticed that the arrows that had been condensed again were already close to Miyamoto Rei. He immediately flapped his wings, and arrows formed from holy light were also launched from his wings, colliding with the astonishing number of arrows!

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The astonishing aftershocks of the battle continued to reverberate before her eyes. Saki Kyoko was already lying on the ground, clinging to the many girls of the Tokyo Gakuen volleyball team, using their combined weight to avoid being blown away.

If viewed from behind, one can clearly see a shimmering curve trembling slightly within the girl's embrace.

But Kyoko seemed oblivious, her gaze fixed intently ahead, muttering to herself, "Good luck, you two..."

Unbeknownst to her, the girl's thoughts had changed from her initial will to survive to her hope that Shiroshima and Miyamoto Rei would defeat the demon. Especially when she thought about the mistakes she had made and the scene of the girl bravely moving forward, that hope became even stronger!

"You absolutely must...defeat that disgusting creature!"

……

Chapter 231 Buying Time

Boom boom boom boom boom!

"Captain Shiroshima, you're the best!!!"

Violent explosions continued to come from ahead. Miyamoto Rei stared wide-eyed at the scene before her, her pupils reflecting the explosions, and an emotion called longing was emerging.

However, as Shiroshima flapped her wings and landed beside her, she heard a solemn voice from the other person: "This level is far from enough!"

"Captain Shirashima, what do you mean?"

While Miyamoto Rei was still wondering, the thick smoke in front of her had dissipated, and the huge ghost was still standing in front of her, with an even more astonishing number of arrows constantly emerging from its head.

"Are you kidding me? This is such a huge quantity, what on earth is going on with this guy?"

The girl gasped and covered her mouth, while Shiroshima said at the same time, "As expected of a nascent forbidden species, that attack was enough to kill a dangerous species, but still..."

Without a doubt, the ghost before them had reached the same level of strength as the one they had encountered at the Tokyo Gymnasium, and even seemed to have surpassed it slightly. Judging from its ever-increasing soul power, if this continued, they would probably all perish here...

"We absolutely cannot let it complete its transformation!"

In a split second, Shiroshima made his decision. He glanced at the ghostly figure before him again and suddenly turned to Miyamoto Rei, instructing her, "Miyamoto, buy me some time. Just five minutes will be enough. Good luck!"

After saying that, she closed her eyes, folded her wings, and formed a luminous sphere. She raised her finger, and the weapon floated in mid-air, with a faint glow flowing from its surface, as if it were brewing something.

However, it wasn't until this moment that Rei Miyamoto finally realized what was going on, and she paused for a moment before shouting, "What do you mean, 'Go for it,' Captain Shirashima? You don't actually think I can last five minutes, do you—?"

Before they could even gasp in shock, the terrifying monster had already directed all the arrows toward their location. With their scalps tingling, Miyamoto Rei decided to go all out, her entire body covered in white bandages, as she met the arrows head-on!

"Damn it! Since Captain Shiroshima trusts me, as a friend, I absolutely cannot back down here. Watch how I buy you time, Captain Shiroshima!!!"

She shouted, and the next second, holy light surged around her, and white bandages danced in front of her, grabbing the arrows that were shot at her!

"middle!"

The white bandages, like serpents, coiled around the arrows in mid-air, instantly wrapping around the entire body. Then, holy light flashed continuously on the bandages. With the continuous force, Miyamoto Rei gritted her teeth and slammed the arrows aside!

"I succeeded!"

Before she could even get excited, another arrow came flying at her. Miyamoto Rei quickly controlled the bandage to fly towards the arrow again!

shhhhh--

The girl felt that her body, mind, or something else was already on the edge of its limit, and she managed to block only one of those huge arrows with all her might.

However, after successfully changing direction, the arrow flew back towards the two of them, seemingly sensing the impending danger. Its target remained on Shiroshima. To protect the captain and to live up to the trust placed in her earlier, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and rush forward again!

Thanks to the power of the Holy Light, or perhaps the special nature of its state, Miyamoto Rei was able to briefly freeze in mid-air, which allowed her to successfully intercept the attack.

However, after being blocked multiple times, the Holy Light was being consumed at a noticeably faster rate. Especially as time went on, Miyamoto Rei felt the power in the arrow growing stronger and stronger. In fact, she almost let the arrow fly towards White Island in just a moment of distraction. Fortunately, she managed to pull it back in the end!

call out--

boom!

Several arrows that had come flying at the same time were hit by the arrows that Miyamoto Rei had deflected in the opposite direction, and a loud noise erupted again. The girl finally noticed that the lower part of the ghost, or more precisely, its body, was becoming transparent without her noticing. Inside the huge ball of flesh, a strange and eerie creature was revealing its form!

The moment the girl saw the strange creature, her heart pounded, as if she sensed an unprecedented danger. She also realized that if she allowed the creature to break free of her body, something unimaginable might happen!

However, before five minutes had passed, even though she realized the danger, she had to grit her teeth and persevere!

Since Captain Shirashima agreed on five minutes, she must have a plan. It's just five minutes, right? To live up to Captain Shirashima's trust, I must withstand the enemy's attacks during this time. If I can't—

She thought of Sayuri, Rika, Natsuki, and others, hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and made her gaze firm again.

"Yoshi! Bring it on, you wretched monster!!!"

call out--

As she shouted, an arrow suddenly whistled past her. Miyamoto Rei's eyes widened, but she could only watch helplessly as the arrow flew toward Shiroshima behind her!

"We can't stop them!"

Rei Miyamoto tried her best to control the bandage to fly towards the arrow, but the distance between them was too great for the bandage to reach. Just when she was in this life-or-death crisis, a metallic clang suddenly reached the girl's ears.

clang!

"Captain Shirashima...?"

Rei Miyamoto blinked, then instantly lost her composure and lunged at Shirashima: "Captain Shirashima! Do you know how much I missed you just now?!"

Suddenly, a pale hand blocked the girl's embrace, and Shirashima's slightly helpless voice followed: "As expected, getting out of this state a little earlier was the right choice. But Miyamoto-kun, no matter how anxious you are, you have to control your emotions. After all, this power can easily hurt you..."

"Huh?"

Ignoring the hand pressing against her chest by Shiroshima's, Miyamoto Rei instinctively focused her gaze on the other's weapon. The flashes of black and gold light danced on the blade as if breathing, captivating her eyes.

"Captain Shirashima, what exactly is going on...?"

Rei Miyamoto couldn't help but ask, but Shiroshima simply pulled her behind him, glancing ahead at the ghost about to emerge from it, his expression unwavering.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miyamoto. I owe you this much time. Now just watch how I destroy this guy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an even more dazzling light suddenly shone from the blade!

……

Chapter 232 Annihilation!

Since the Shibuya incident, Shirashima realized that even though she had become much stronger than she used to be, there was still a huge and insurmountable gap between her and truly powerful enemies, such as forbidden-type demons.

If it weren't for Mai's temporary awakening, the intervention of the Heavenly Dao, and Natsuki's life-risking battle, among other factors, they wouldn't have been able to defeat that terrifying forbidden demon.

Unbeknownst to him, Shiroshima developed a tremendous desire for strength, especially in order to protect the person most important to him and to provide immediate support when that man was fighting. During this time, Shiroshima had been trying his best to refine powerful techniques!

After transforming into her holy light form multiple times, "Little Black's" power has become an indispensable part of White Island. In particular, the combination of her demonic power and holy light power allows her to unleash terrifying power.

However, in each of her past outbursts, Shiroshima admitted that she actually used only a very small portion of her demonic power out of fear that she would fall into the same dangerous situation as her mother, being cursed. Compared to the power she had not yet fully utilized, it was only one-tenth, or even less.

So, after days of refinement, Shiroshima finally overcame his psychological pressure. After many attempts, he was finally able to draw out all his demonic power and merge it with the holy light power that Natsuki had given him, thus unleashing a terrifying killing move!

However, it is clear that in order to use this power, a period of time is needed to accumulate strength, and after using it, one will fall into a short period of weakness, but—

Thinking of his unconscious teammates behind him, and knowing that if this forbidden species' nascent form of a demon were to break through, the person he cared about most would be in danger, Shiroshima no longer hesitated, leading to the scene described earlier.

"call……"

With each breath, the girl's chest rose and fell. Now, having combined two powers, her face had subtly changed. Strands of black and gold light flowed across her surface, bringing an indescribable charm. Combined with her sacred posture, this caused Miyamoto Rei, who witnessed this scene, and Saki Kyoko below to be slightly mesmerized.

"So beautiful... oh my god... an angel..."

Miyamoto Rei spoke blankly, her words catching Shiroshima's ears. A smile appeared on her lips, and she thought to herself in unison—

So what if I'm an angel? I don't ask for much. As long as I can protect the person I care about most, stand by that man's side, and fight for him with my life, that's enough!

and so……

Shiroshima looked at the demon that was about to break out of the giant egg. The cross mark inside was now shining brightly, and even had some black parts. This did not mean that the demon was corrupted by demonic power, but rather that the two powers had completely merged together, reaching the point of "you in me, and me in you"!

"Speaking of which, you seem to be the first demon about to be defeated by this ultimate move. You should be glad! After all, if it were that man, he probably wouldn't be so merciful!"

As Natsuki's gentle face flashed through his mind, Shiroshima simultaneously swung his weapon lightly. As the blade slashed down from above, an astonishing flash of light, on an unprecedented scale, flew directly toward the ghost.

Its interior was black, blending and reflecting the golden light, like the most beautiful gem in the world. At the moment of its first bloom, even the ghost that was about to explode was stunned for a moment.

However, in the next instant, the ghost seemed to sense the impending danger from this terrifying attack, and roared into the air: "Roar!!!"

The head that had always been at the highest point was not yet completely extinguished. After responding to the ghost within with the same roar, an astonishing number of arrows once again gathered above its head.

This time, the scale was several times larger than the previous arrows, and even the length of those arrows was more than twice as long. Black mist was flowing on the sharp tips of their arrows, so you can imagine that the killing power of these arrows also surpassed that of many before!

roar!!!!!!

With another roar, the ghostly head finally controlled the arrows, sending them flying toward the light. The arrows pierced the void, and the surrounding black mist gathered toward them, seemingly trying to amplify their power as much as possible.

Finally, after two breaths, the two collided!

The ghostly head had just flashed a look of smugness on its face when its eyes widened again. In its eyes, the arrows that should have been invincible were melted away the moment they touched the sun, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

Upon closer inspection, the surface of the radiant light was actually dominated by black ghostly power. After being enhanced by the power of holy light, its power level was terrifyingly increased. The ghostly power of this creature had not yet truly transformed. With the power of the ghostly power rising and falling, it was unable to resist this killing move, resulting in the scene before us!

Boom boom boom boom boom!

A series of muffled sounds erupted from the scene ahead. After being taken aback, the ghost desperately tried to condense more arrows, but no matter how much ghostly power it exhausted, it could only watch helplessly as its arrows were completely swallowed by the light.

Finally, as the last wisp of ghostly power and the last arrow erased each other, what finally bloomed from within was a golden holy light of equal strength, which naturally restrained itself!

hum-

This time, when the killing move entered the ghost's body, there was no alarming outburst. The group only saw a flash of light, and before the ghost's head could even react, its body had already split in two and fallen to either side.

A trace of black ghostly power dissipated as the body fell, transforming into a soul crystal upon hitting the ground, emitting a faint glow in mid-air.

At the same time, after the ghost died, the surrounding space also showed signs of collapse. At this moment, a breathtaking smile finally appeared on Shiroshima's face.
