In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

boom!

boom!

One explosion after another created a terrifying energy shock. Even though the strongest among them only reached the dangerous level, their terrifying numbers caused the surrounding space to violently tremble in just a few breaths.

"Don't panic, everyone! Stay united and don't move around easily!"

Mai, the teacher, shouted at the crowd, but the explosions all around her drowned out her voice.

If you look down from above, you can see that after the group of ghosts self-destructed, crystallized life forms appeared and seeped into the void, and a chilling aura spread throughout the area.

……

Chapter 320 Demon King! Demon King! Demon King!

Click, click!

Above the black mist, Xia Mu gazed at the [Demon King's Egg] before him, which reached the limit of hatching in an instant.

Terrifying cracks appeared on the surface of the eggshell, and wisps of blood-red light shone through the cracks, staining the entire surrounding sky with a bloody color!

Most importantly, Xia Mu clearly sensed that an aura from a distant time and space was constantly being released from the [Demon King's Egg]. The cross necklace on his chest was also swaying constantly with the movement of the [Demon King's Egg], as if the necklace also sensed that some kind of terrifying being was about to descend upon this world!

Although he didn't know exactly what had changed, Xia Mu recalled the ambiguous smile on Shen Yi's face after he destroyed him not long ago. It was clear that even though Shen Yi hadn't been able to contribute his energy to the Demon King's Egg, he still had other backup plans. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the Demon King's Egg reached its hatching limit so quickly in such a short time, and why it seemed that the terrifying Demon King was about to leave from it at any moment and descend upon this world!

The Demon King must not be allowed to awaken!

No matter the cost, it is absolutely unacceptable—

In just a moment, the above thought popped into Xia Mu's mind.

After all, the arrival of the Demon King foreshadows the destruction of the world. Whether for the sake of others or for his own sake, it is something that must be stopped. Moreover, Xia Mu cannot be sure whether he, in this world, will be able to wake up again and travel to another world after death, just like before.

In this situation, Xia Mu could only use various methods to try to bring the demon king back from the brink of awakening!

"Holy Marksmanship Unleashed!"

Xia Mu let out a soft shout, and the holy light power in his body expanded rapidly in the next second. This ability could increase the holy light in his body exponentially in a short period of time.

The only cost is that you will be in a weakened state for a period of time after using it, but in order to defeat the Demon King, this side effect is undoubtedly bearable!

In addition, the cross-shaped holy mark in Xia Mu's eyes trembled continuously, and the [Holy Light Body] was activated at the same time, instantly transforming his body at an extremely rapid pace. In just a short while, it expanded to the extent that he had just fought against the super forbidden species!

clang!

Xia Mu drew out a crescent-shaped weapon, which was reforged from the cross necklace. This weapon could amplify the power of holy light to a certain extent and was the basis for him to unleash his strongest killing move!

Unfortunately, when he destroyed the forbidden species and other ghosts, most of the energy in the Soul Crystal was used to heal his injuries. Even the God One's self-destruction prevented the Soul Crystal from being extracted smoothly. As for those low-level ghosts, they no longer provide much value to Xia Mu now. Otherwise, his combat power might have been further enhanced!

"call……"

Xia Mu took a deep breath, and the violent holy light flowed rhythmically with his movements. Streams of crystalline light floated on his body. After fully gathering his strength, he raised his eyes, and a terrifying sharpness appeared on the blade. Then he leaped up and slashed heavily at the [Demon King's Egg]!

boom!!!

The terrifying impact, which erupted from the moment the weapon struck the Demon King's Egg, instantly spread outwards. It was so intense that it stirred up a gale, disturbing the surrounding black mist!

Rumble!

Thunder roared, and even lightning seemed to fall from the sky due to the collision of their energies, making the sky even more terrifying.

Finally, after a dazzling burst of light, the collision of the two energies reached its limit. Accompanied by a deafening sound, a blood-red pillar of light shot into the sky, and an indescribable aura suddenly rippled through the world.

boom!

In the aftershocks of the collision, Xia Mu retreated rapidly. Fortunately, he managed to summon his Holy Light Wings in time and slap them hard to stop. Only then did he raise his head and look at the huge figure above him. An unprecedentedly solemn expression appeared in his eyes!

Big!

too big!

It had two horns on its head and its whole body was covered in blood-red flames. Its appearance was exactly like the legendary demon. Its huge size seemed to cover the entire sky. Even the so-called super forbidden species was as small as an ant to it. Not to mention, its vast and terrifying aura repeatedly impacted Xia Mu's mind. If it were before, he probably would have already knelt on the ground because he could not withstand the impact!

Looking down from space, the figure of this terrifying demon king can be clearly seen. It is unimaginable that such an astonishingly large being could appear in this world, even blocking out part of the sun's rays, causing most of the planet to be instantly shrouded in darkness.

At this moment, those areas that were not previously shrouded in black mist also saw the sky-covering demon king through the heavens, and incredible sounds spread from many countries and regions.

"What is that?!?"

"What am I seeing? A demon! This is definitely a demon! God help me! Please save this world!"

"Nightmare! This must be a nightmare! Wake up! Please!"

"..."

The sounds rose and fell, echoing across the planet. Even though they couldn't understand each other's languages, the meaning behind their words was quite consistent: they expressed fear of the Demon King's appearance!

Beneath the black mist, when the Demon King appeared, it was also imprinted in Sayuri and the others' sight. Looking at that enormous figure, with just one palm the size of a country, such a terrifying appearance made everyone subconsciously stunned. Even the power of holy light could not control their fear.

"it turns out……"

"The Demon King... has he finally come out?"

"Damn it, is this world going to be destroyed by the Demon King?!"

"..."

A sense of despair inevitably rose in everyone's heart. Even the twin-tailed girl who trusted Xia Mu the most still had a blank expression on her face when she looked at the terrifying demon king in front of her, as if she was experiencing this almost world-destroying aura for the first time!

"Impossible... Defeating someone like that... even Natsuki-sensei... it's impossible... What should we do..."

The girl murmured, as if she had fallen into some kind of terrifying state, until a familiar voice rang out from the bottom of her heart, causing her eyes to tremble slightly, as if she had heard something unbelievable, and her chest to heave violently.

"Really—is it okay?"

……

Chapter 321 Unleashing the [Sacred Artifact]!

Sayuri.

"Ms. Natsuki? How could you—"

"listen to me……"

"..."

Sayuri heard the man's familiar voice in her heart. As she listened to his words, a heavy expression flashed across her face. Pain, dilemma, and other emotions kept flashing in her eyes.

After a long while, she lowered her head and whispered in a voice only she could hear, "Ms. Natsuki, Sayuri understands."

After speaking, Sayuri turned her head and looked at the many women who were still immersed in the solemn atmosphere. She placed her hands on her chest, closed her eyes, and then opened them again, suddenly saying to them, "Everyone, please listen to me."

Upon hearing the girl's words, they all looked at each other with puzzled expressions, wondering what Sayuri was about to say.

"Now, the Demon King has been fully resurrected. That guy is so powerful that even the evil organization—the Illuminati—and all their enemies combined probably couldn't withstand a single finger of the Demon King. This is despairing, but it's an absolute fact!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, clearly acknowledging the girl's words. This was especially true for Miyamoto Rei, whose senses were most acute. At this moment, she still had a headache, a natural stress response caused by the terror brought by the Demon King.

"but--"

Sayuri suddenly changed the subject.

"Even so, we have a reason to defeat the Demon King, not only for the sake of this world, but also for our own sake. I can't imagine what a miserable life it would be if we couldn't eat the meals cooked by our mother."

Mikiko smiled gently, her gaze towards Sayuri suddenly filled with a doting expression.

Rika hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "It seems you already have a plan, Sayuri."

Sayuri shook her head, a complicated smile appearing on her face: "This is not my idea. Sayuri is just relaying what Natsuki-sensei said. As for whether to do it or not, that is everyone's choice."

She scanned everyone's faces, her tone becoming incredibly serious: "Listen to me, everyone. If we want to stop that demon king from destroying the world, the only person we can rely on is Teacher Xia Mu, but right now, he is actually incomplete!"

Everyone was slightly taken aback, except for Shiroshima, who seemed to realize something, took off the butterfly clip from his head, and murmured, "Is it a [Sacred Artifact]?"

Sayuri nodded emphatically: "That's right!"

She also took off the little bear clip from her head, and looking at the pattern, a tender look flashed in her eyes.

"These [Sacred Artifacts] are essentially a continuation of Teacher Xia Mu's power. The stronger Teacher Xia Mu is, the higher our authority over the [Sacred Artifacts] will be. In the past, they have helped us defeat one enemy after another. Unconsciously, it seems that the [Sacred Artifacts] have become an inseparable part of our body, mind, and even soul."

"Now, stopping the Demon King's plan to destroy the world is the most important thing. Although it is very reluctant, we must make a choice in order to allow Teacher Xia Mu to enter his prime."

"Therefore, please make your choice: unleash the power within the [Sacred Relic] and return it to Teacher Xia Mu's body. Only in this way will we have even the slightest chance of defeating the Demon King!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised the bear clip. The energy inside the [Sacred Artifact] surged, and it shattered instantly, turning into a torrent of crimson holy light that rose into the black mist.

Seeing this scene, everyone hesitated, especially Shirashima and Rika. For them, the [Sacred Relic] was not only a symbol of power, but also the key to forming a bond with that man. Even Miyamoto Rei had developed a deep bond with him and Natsuki through using the [Sacred Relic] and fighting with many of her companions. How could such a bond be easily severed?

However, despite their constant hesitation and growing reluctance, which intensified over time, they quickly made their decision!

Shiroshima stepped forward, raising the butterfly clip in his hand. A divine blue light emerged from the [Sacred Artifact] in the next second, then surged into the black mist along with Sayuri's holy light. The two looked at each other and saw the emotions flowing in each other's eyes.

Then, Rika took the whale clip off her head: "Without Natsuki-sensei, there would be no Rika today, and my mother would be too... Natsuki-sensei, please take my power!"

Mai sighed, a helpless expression on her face. Then, raising her hand, she laughed and scolded, "After this incident is over, I must find that guy and make him compensate me properly!"

Rei Miyamoto rubbed her forehead: "Well, since Natsuki-sensei needs it, and it's also for saving the world, what's a little bit of power? Natsuki-sensei, please be sure to defeat the Demon King!"

A resolute look appeared in Nanako's eyes, and her childish voice rang out: "Sayuri-neechan is right. Now is not the time to hesitate. We must gather everyone's strength to defeat that terrible demon king. Go for it, Natsuki-sensei!"

Even Mikiko and Kato Yuri, after exchanging glances, smiled and removed their [sacred artifacts], raising them together towards the sky.

buzzing-

A torrent of holy light surged from the [sacred artifacts] in their palms, soon forming streaks of multicolored light that flew upwards into the black mist. In their minds, the face of a certain man flashed by simultaneously.

At the same time, due to the loss of holy light power and the damage to the [Holy Artifact], the holy light state of Shiroshima and the others could not be maintained. After a few flashes, they returned to normal, and even the aura that was originally revealed became slightly weaker.

"Everyone……"

Looking at the women who were cooperating, Sayuri's eyes showed gratitude. She then took another deep breath, turned around, and looked up at the black mist above her head, as if she could also see that figure facing the Demon King alone.

“Natsuki-sensei…everyone…and my power…should have returned to you…please keep going…once we defeat the Demon King…Sayuri will…give it all…”

As if remembering something, a captivating blush appeared on the girl's cheeks, and a sweet smile spread across her lips.

For some reason, Xia Mu's image in the girl's heart suddenly became blurry. Even for other women, certain fragments of a certain man who flashed through their minds at this moment also seemed to shatter, as if something unstoppable had happened!
