In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

"Trying to escape? Don't even think about it!"

Rika gave a low shout, released two fingers, and the astonishingly large arrow flew directly towards the [tomb] in mid-air!

call out--

Roar! ! !

One after another, dangerous gargoyles rushed toward the arrow's location, attempting to block the girl's attack. However, the girl's gaze remained unwavering, her eyes fixed on the enemy who was still fleeing in mid-air!

Boom boom boom!

A series of violent impacts erupted from mid-air. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that the dangerous gargoyle that was rushing towards the arrow was enveloped by the frost power of the arrow before it could even get close. Ice crystals quickly rose from its surface and soon froze its entire body.

Immediately, a series of cracking sounds emanated from the surface of the ice crystals, which then exploded the next second, their deaths extremely gruesome. Even more terrifying was that the power of frost would spread through the void, freezing one at a time and then spreading outwards with an astonishing momentum. In just a short while, these hundreds of dangerous gargoyles were destroyed by the arrows!

it turns out?!!!

[The Tomb] Before they could even be horrified, they fled even faster. However, the arrows did not slow down; instead, they became even more terrifying after killing the dangerous gargoyles!

Hurry up!

Faster!

Today...

We absolutely cannot die here!

The thought had just flashed through the mind of the person in the tomb when they suddenly felt the black mist above their head become distant. They subconsciously reached out and pressed their hand to their chest, only to find the arrowhead stuck in the ground above them!

"!!!"

[The Tomb] turned back with difficulty. The tombstones that it had just summoned with great effort had been completely pierced. It could even see through the holes in the tombstones the calm look on the girl's face below, as if its own death was nothing more than killing an ant for her!

I……

Has it failed?

……

Chapter 300 Post-War

wow——

When the [Tomb] died, the remaining frozen gargoyles burst open, turning into countless ice crystals that slowly drifted down from the sky, transforming the entire area into a dreamlike landscape, as if one were in a snow country.

At this moment, after confirming that the [Grave] was completely dead, Rika also put away the Ice Spirit Holy Bow. However, the next second, her body suddenly fell forward!

Is he exhausted?

The thought popped into Rika's mind as she watched the ground draw ever closer, unable to move.

The power of the Ice Spirit Holy Bow is still too strong, and she cannot use it easily at present. The nearly one minute she was in just now almost completely exhausted the holy light power in her body, and the holy armor on her body even became faintly transparent, as if it was about to dissipate at any moment.

Of course, this was also a helpless move for Rika. After all, the power of the [Grave] was beyond her imagination. Without using the Ice Spirit Holy Bow, it might escape. Considering what might happen, she had no choice but to summon it.

Finally, when something soft landed on her head, Rika blinked, her expression somewhat surprised.

"This is……"

"Hey Rika, thank goodness I arrived in time, otherwise your pretty face would have been ruined. How are you going to thank me?"

Miyamoto-kun?

Rika looked up and saw that she was being supported by something soft, with two fair arms wrapped around her to keep her from falling. Looking at the girl who was joking but whose eyes still showed a hint of worry, Rika smiled softly.

"It seems my feeling was right, you really did defeat the enemy..."

"Of course, after all, my abilities were developed by you and Captain Shiroshima together. But enemies of that level are no match for Miyamoto!"

Miyamoto Rei pouted as she spoke.

Of course, she was also quite clear that the reason she was able to win was mainly because her abilities just happened to counter that enemy. Whether it was her perception ability, her clones, or the various capture techniques derived from the bandages, they all perfectly countered him. If it were an enemy of a different combat type, she would probably have to consider calling for reinforcements!

"However, the enemy we just faced was so powerful, even Rika..."

Miyamoto Rei said in surprise, after all, in her impression, Rika was someone who could rival Shirashima, but even such a person was exhausted after defeating the enemy. This shows how troublesome that enemy was!

She was increasingly grateful that Rika had helped her stall the other party; otherwise, if the two had joined forces, things might have been...

Thinking of that scene, Miyamoto Rei's heart started beating faster, and her chest trembled more noticeably. Especially for Rika at this moment, she could feel the slight fear coming from that soft spot even more clearly.

So, Rika laboriously raised her hand and gently stroked Rei Miyamoto's hair, saying in a tender voice, "It's alright, haven't we already taken care of them?"

"Rika-san..."

Rei Miyamoto was somewhat dazed, and her cheeks flushed slightly, as if she saw the figure of a certain man in Rika.

"Rika, you're making it easy for people to misunderstand. Miyamoto is a straight woman, straighter than steel!"

Rei Miyamoto's words startled Rika for a moment, then she chuckled softly again. Looking at the girl, Rei seemed to remember something and asked with concern, "By the way, Rika-san, are you feeling alright? Would you like to…?"

"...Miyamoto, Rika, are you both alright?"

A familiar voice suddenly came from somewhere, and a woman clad in armor, radiating black and white light, was rushing towards them at high speed. Upon seeing that familiar face, Miyamoto Rei exclaimed in surprise, "It's Captain Shiroshima!"

When Rika, who was in her arms, saw Shiroshima arrive, the pressure in her heart immediately eased a lot. After all, she had consumed a lot of holy light power. If a powerful enemy like the one before appeared again, even if Miyamoto Rei could fight again, it would probably be quite difficult. The arrival of the equally powerful Shiroshima would undoubtedly reduce a lot of pressure.

"Phew, I finally made it..."

At this moment, Shiroshima looked at Rika, who was in a weak state, with some worry. It wasn't until he sensed the life force within her that he finally felt relieved.

Previously, she had fought a fierce battle with the Shadow Demon General summoned by [Mo].

As expected of the being summoned by consuming the life of the Ghost Master, it reached the level of a Dangerous Species the moment it arrived. Moreover, as time goes by, the Shadow Demon General will become even stronger due to its fusion with the world. In just a short while, it has grown to the limit of Dangerous Species and even shows a tendency to rise towards the level of Forbidden Species!

Although the Shadow Demon General at that time already possessed the qualifications to advance to the level of a forbidden species, the gap between the two was still quite large, and most importantly, it was still ultimately at the level of a dangerous species.

Realizing the opponent's formidable strength, Shiroshima unleashed his strongest killing move, managing to eliminate him before he could increase his power again, and then headed to another battlefield, leading to the current scene.

"...Is that so?"

Hearing Rika recount the battle from not long ago, Shirashima felt a lingering fear. Then, remembering something, he smiled at the two and said, "Speaking of which, don't forget, our Mai-sensei is the one who can restore Rika's power. And she should be on her way with the others by now, right?"

As soon as they finished speaking, as if sensing something, the three of them looked in one direction. Not far away on the street, Mai, Mikiko, Nanako, and Kato Yuri were heading in this direction.

Rika was initially delighted, but the next second, something occurred to her and a blush rose on her face.

If I remember correctly, Mai-sensei regained her powers through...

Before long, feeling her strength gradually recover, Rika was overjoyed, but it didn't last long. Feeling the soft touch from her lips, she couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart.

It must be admitted that every time Mai-sensei helps them restore their power, they can't help but have all sorts of wild thoughts. Especially Mai's exquisite face, which is hard for ordinary people to resist. They can only think of a certain man's image in their minds during each process, which seems to alleviate the effect somewhat.

Finally, after a long silence, Mai wiped her mouth and asked the others, "So, don't you all want to consider letting me help you...?"

Shirashima, Rei Miyamoto, Nanako, and the others responded in unison, "Thank you, Mai-sensei, but we don't need it anymore, thank you!!!"

Mai: "???"

……

Chapter 301 is here!

"...Alright, since no one needs it, we'll just have to wait until next time..."

After being rejected by the three, Mai sighed with slight regret, and the eagerness in her eyes subsided a little.

However, when she looked up at the sky, a serious expression appeared on her face: "The problem is, we've already defeated so many enemies, so why hasn't this layer of black mist dissipated?"

In Mai's eyes, the sky was completely occupied by black mist. Only the faint light cast by the moon when the black mist drifted by prevented the world from being completely enveloped in darkness.

Not only that, but a crimson aura permeated the air, and the increasingly intense sense of danger made Mai frown.

At this moment, she missed Xia Mu's presence very much. If he were here, perhaps he would have a way to deal with it?

This thought wasn't just on Mai's mind; even Shiroshima, Miyamoto Rei, Rika, and Mikiko missed Natsuki terribly at this moment. After all, in their hearts, Natsuki was almost omniscient and omnipotent, and at least in such bizarre events, Natsuki was undoubtedly the most reliable!

The only difference was that, besides missing Natsuki, Mikiko also thought of her daughter. Looking up into the black mist above, she felt a little worried, wondering how Sayuri and Natsuki were doing now...

Just then, Rei Miyamoto pointed to a certain direction in the sky and said to everyone, "Everyone, I can sense that there is an aura in that place that is even more terrifying than the enemies we encountered before. If we want to end this nightmare, we'll probably have to go up there and see for ourselves..."

As mentioned before, Miyamoto Rei's ability to sense ghosts is more acute than that of the others. The reason they were able to gather together so quickly and find their companions is precisely because of Miyamoto Rei's sensory abilities.

In her perception, a terrifying aura was growing stronger and stronger in the sky above the black mist over time. If compared, the aura of the enemies from before was dozens or even hundreds of times stronger!

If Miyamoto Rei wasn't mistaken, she felt that perhaps above that black mist lay something even more terrifying than the dangerous species—the forbidden species!

wrong!

Miyamoto Rei suddenly wore a solemn expression. For some reason, she could sense that dangerous aura was rapidly approaching in a very short time, as if it were about to fall from the sky!

She cried out in alarm, "Watch out! Those guys are coming!"

boom!!!

……

At the same time.

Somewhere outside of Tokyo.

Whoosh!

Xia Mu flicked the bluish-black blood off his fist, his expression quite disgusted. He then used the power of holy light to evaporate the remaining blood, which made his complexion look a little better.

Around him, numerous terrifying ghosts were falling. Based on the strength of their remaining soul power, they were all of the dangerous species level. In front of Xia Mu, a humanoid corpse that looked completely different from the ghosts had been torn in two. The remaining body parts were slowly dissipating under the effect of holy light and transforming into a soul crystal, which Xia Mu grabbed with one hand.

"Ms. Natsuki... I've taken care of that guy who tried to escape!"

At this moment, Sayuri excitedly ran over. After the movement, the Holy Light power in her body had recovered somewhat. Although the fleeing enemies were also members of the Illuminati, they were not strong. For the girl now, even if the Holy Light power had not fully recovered, they were still easy to defeat.

After a long journey, the two finally arrived in the area near Tokyo. They originally wanted to continue, but unexpectedly they saw members of the Illuminati leading a number of ghosts to slaughter innocent humans. The two, who hated evil as their enemy, naturally could not allow such a thing to happen. They jumped down from the sky and killed the enemies!

Unfortunately, they arrived too late. The innocent people had already died in the carnage. Even with the power of holy light, it was difficult to bring the dead back to life. So, Natsuki and Sayuri turned their anger on the enemy and wiped out all the beings with ghostly auras present!

"Are you OK?"

Natsuki glanced at Sayuri, his expression seemingly a little strange.

At this moment, although the girl was still in a state of holy light, the armor on her body had dimmed, revealing her figure that was faintly visible underneath. Especially at such close range, the destructive power released by that figure was still difficult for Xia Mu to resist. He could only look towards Tokyo from time to time, as if that made him feel a little better.

Sayuri blinked, glancing down at her armor. She didn't seem particularly concerned about the glimpse of her exposed skin: "I guess the Holy Light power has run out again? Damn it, if only Mai-sensei were here, otherwise this wouldn't have happened..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mu also showed a helpless expression. His healing ability was completely different from Mai's. In fact, to some extent, Mai could not only heal the Holy Light, but also enhance the target being healed simultaneously. Although the time was not long, the effect was quite obvious. Unlike himself, he could only heal the physical injuries. As for the consumption of Holy Light, he had no better way.
