In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

Shirashima was feeling a little drowsy, so she quickly covered her ears, afraid that the bird calls would lull her to sleep again.

Seeing this, Xia Mu simply raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder. At the same time, the power of holy light appeared, and the girl's eyes immediately regained their clarity.

"Is everything alright now?"

Just as Shiroshima was about to speak, his gaze suddenly swept around and he saw all the birds frantically attacking the cage, trying to escape. Their eyes glowed with an eerie red light. Before he could react, both of them looked up into the darkness above.

"That is……"

Above, almost entirely shrouded in dark mist, two enormous wings appeared and disappeared, their flapping causing the mist to churn and accompanied by strange bird calls. The two finally saw its true form.

It was a bird-beast that looked very much like a parrot. From below, its wingspan was several meters, and its body was enormous. Just by looking at it with the naked eye, it was almost as long as a human. This was unimaginable in the real world!

"Ah..."

The birds and beasts made strange noises, and the two realized that the reason why their classmates had collapsed was probably related to them!

The moment it appeared, an intense killing intent, almost solidified, suddenly emerged from the surroundings. Then it flapped its wings and swooped down towards the crowd below!

Whoosh!

Seeing the enormous bird-beast's murderous intent, Xia Mu's cross necklace was instantly activated, illuminating his body with a faint golden light, and a cross-shaped mark appeared in his eyes.

"White Island—"

Xia Mu had just started to speak to the girl when he suddenly realized something. In the instant he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of a familiar black shadow floating behind him. The armor that shimmered faintly in the darkness was none other than White Island's "Summoning Ghost".

When was she?

Xia Mu was somewhat puzzled, but the next second he saw Bai Dao raise his hand and give a soft shout, and the black shadow armor flew out.

"It's up to you now."

boom!

Like the roar of an engine, a sudden gust of wind erupted from both of them.

Xia Mu's clothes were slapped so hard they made a rustling sound, while a certain girl's skirt was lifted up, revealing a cute pink pattern.

……

Chapter 37 Cross-Shattering Evil Slash!

After his body was strengthened, Xia Mu's perception of ghostly auras also became much stronger.

In his perception, the soul power released by this ghost bird was no weaker than the ghost that had previously possessed Mizuno, but it wasn't too far off; it should still be within the range of a level 3 ghost.

In Xia Mu's memory, it was not easy to grow to the level of a level 3 ghost.

Recalling the scene he had seen at the door, Xia Mu realized that before they arrived, many innocent people might have been devoured by hypnosis and died without even realizing it!

However, he didn't seem too worried. As he gazed at the black armored figure in mid-air that was about to collide with the ghost bird, a glimmer of hope flickered in his eyes.

Xia Mu hadn't forgotten that when this guy first appeared, he was already able to withstand the attack of a level 3 ghost head-on!

In other words, the Shadow Armor also falls into this category, and even if the Ghost Bird before them is powerful, it might not be able to...

The next moment, something unbelievable happened to Xia Mu. The black armor unleashed its formidable power and was about to collide with the ghost bird when it suddenly flapped its wings again!

Whoosh!

In an instant, black feathers condensed from the wings and shot out like bullets, tracing trajectories in mid-air and striking the surface of the black shadow armor!

Ding ding ding ding!

Black Feather's hardness was astonishing. Even though the Shadow Armor raised its two huge arms to block, its defenses were quickly breached, and it continued to pierce the faintly glowing armor.

"Ah-"

The ghost bird cried out again.

This time the sound seemed different from before. The moment the sound fell, black feathers exploded!

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The violent explosion instantly enveloped the black-armored figure, and the surrounding black mist seemed to be hit by a huge storm, creating a tremendous shockwave!

The black-armored figure plummeted into the air after the explosion, then crashed to the ground, creating a deep, semi-circular crater!

Seeing this, Xia Mu subconsciously looked at Shiroshima and found that the girl was drooling red liquid from the corner of her mouth and her face had turned pale.

He suddenly realized that the relationship between this black-clad armored creature and White Island seemed to be even closer than he had imagined!

Without hesitation, Xia Mu pulled Shiroshima behind him, took out something he had prepared earlier from his pocket, and solemnly handed it to him.

"Teacher Xia Mu, what's wrong...?"

Shiroshima wiped the liquid from the corner of his mouth, seemingly already used to it, then looked down at the butterfly clip in his hand, a look of doubt appearing in his eyes.

"It will protect you."

As Xia Mu spoke, he walked forward and said, "You watch first. How can you let students do something so dangerous!"

"But……"

Shirashima wanted to say that Natsuki seemed to have no way to deal with the ghost bird, but looking at that confident back, she couldn't help but believe the man in front of her.

clap clap clap!

Xia Mu walked to the side of the black shadow armor and watched it try to get up. However, the wounds on its body kept cracking due to this movement. In a short time, the wounds had spread all over its body surface, as if its whole body was about to break apart!

Shaking his head, Xia Mu patted the black shadow armor: "That's about enough, leave the rest to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadow armor seemed to sense something; its eyes, like black gemstones, shifted downwards, and its body stopped struggling.

Wait, this thing can actually understand human speech?!

Xia Mu was surprised, but his expression remained unchanged. He looked up again and saw the ghost bird that had defeated the black shadow armor flapping its wings, its red eyes staring straight down, as if it were about to pounce!

"Hey, hey, hey, how dare you hurt my student? Do you think I, as a teacher, don't exist?"

Xia Mu didn't care whether the ghost bird could understand him or not, and just kept talking to himself: "Speaking of which, your appearance is just the right time for me to test out this new ability!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the giant ghost bird flapped its wings once more!

A loud "whoosh" was heard as a fierce wave crashed towards their position. Seeing that it was about to strike again, Xia Mu drew two small fruit knives from his waist.

Fortunately, the zoo did not thoroughly inspect the items brought by visitors; otherwise, these two knives would probably not be in Xia Mu's hands at this moment.

clang!

The blade gleamed with silver light, and the cross necklace on Xia Mu's chest floated up automatically. The power of holy light formed a stream of light that flowed around Xia Mu, and strange characters appeared inside, making Xia Mu look extremely mysterious at this moment!

At the same time, the holy light power on his body also increased to an exaggeratedly high concentration in an instant. If he encountered a level 1 ghost, such holy light would be enough to wipe it out!

Normally, this level of holy light would cause discomfort to a level 3 ghost, but the shadowy armor next to it showed no abnormalities.

Upon closer inspection, a faint golden light flashed in its eyes, echoing the golden light emanating from the butterfly clip in a girl's hand.

It seems that under its influence, the two sides developed a strange connection, which made the Shadow Armor immune to Xia Mu's holy light attack.

In an instant, the surging holy light power was concentrated on the two fruit knives in Xia Mu's hands, and golden light emanated from the blades. When it reached a certain level, Xia Mu whispered, "Go, Cross-Shattering Evil Slash!"

Crunch!

Xia Mu gripped the blade tightly, and the next second, two intersecting blade lights burst forth from the blade, forming a cross shape, and flew straight toward the giant ghost bird in the sky!

Whoosh!

Black Feather fell again, and when it came into contact with the cross-shaped blade light, an explosion surged, but it only slowed down its speed slightly and did not have much effect.

At this moment, with its eyes fixed on the cross-shaped blade of light below, the ghost bird finally sensed danger. It hurriedly flapped its wings, abruptly stopping its dive, and then turned and flew into the darkness above!

"How could we let you get away so easily!"

Xia Mu roared, unleashing the power of holy light once more. The muscles in his arms bulged, and his bones emitted a series of low, booming sounds, which became even more prominent under the golden light!

hum-

Two more intersecting cross-shaped blades of light flew out at an even faster speed. After overlapping with the previous cross-shaped evil-slaying slash, they grew even larger and carried an even more astonishing momentum. They followed the ghost bird and disappeared into the darkness above!

boom!

A loud bang came from the darkness, followed by the painful screams of the ghost bird. When it reappeared, it was tearing through the darkness as it fell from the sky.

Its body turned into tiny, crystalline specks. Before it even completely crashed to the ground, it transformed into an ordinary parrot and flew away, along with a pale purple soul crystal.

The soul crystal floated half a meter high before being grabbed by a strong arm.

"We took it down!"

As Xia Mu spoke, he turned back and smiled at Bai Dao. However, after a moment of surprise, the white-haired girl's gaze suddenly locked onto the soul crystal in his hand.

"what is that?"

……

Chapter 38 Ghosts Far Exceeding Level 3

The power of the Ghost Bird is beyond doubt.

The fact that it could severely injure the Shadow Armor with a single blow places it among the most formidable of the ghosts Xia Mu has encountered so far.

In addition, it also has the ability to fly. If it were the previous Xia Mu, it would probably have no power to resist!

After this incident, Xia Mu realized that ghosts could not only possess humans, but also control animals. Depending on the characteristics of different animals, they could also exert different abilities such as flight!

In addition, ghosts of level 3 and above seem to possess the ability to control their own kind.

Fortunately, all the birds in the exhibition hall were kept in cages. Otherwise, in addition to facing this ghost bird, Natsuki and Shiroshima might have had to fight against a large number of birds, which would undoubtedly have been an even more unfavorable situation.

"Thank goodness, we finally got rid of it!"

Xia Mu said with emotion.

As they spoke, the surrounding darkness dissipated, and the birds that had exhibited unusual behavior returned to normal, with their chirping once again echoing from the surroundings.

As for the students on the ground, although they haven't woken up yet, with the disappearance of the ghost bird, the influence it exerted on them has also dissipated, and they will probably wake up soon.

Seemingly remembering something, Xia Mu walked towards Bai Dao. Before she could speak, he reached out and lightly tapped the girl's forehead with his finger: "Holy Light."

hum-

The holy light emanating from his fingertips instantly healed White Island's body, and the pain left by the injury from the Shadow Armor gradually disappeared under the effect of the holy light.
