In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

"Tanichuan..."

As she pondered the name, Sayuri finally remembered what the other person looked like!

"Oh, it's you! I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you earlier..."

"By the way, what does 'cow girl' mean? Don't you think it's very impolite to use that term to address someone you've just met?"

Although she didn't know why the other person was there, she still frowned and questioned them.

Tanikawa Rin pointed directly at Sayuri's chest and said loudly, "Look at yourself! We're about the same age, but your breasts are so big. What else could they be but a cow?"

"Ok?"

Sayuri raised an eyebrow slightly, then suddenly clenched her fists so tightly they cracked, and walked towards the other person.

"While this is undeniably true, Teacher Xia Mu once said that we should be kind and helpful to each other! As your opponent, I should take good care of you to prevent you from going astray. Please don't thank me too much!"

As a result, before she even got close, she saw the other person lower their head and let out a strange, cold smile.

"Teach me a lesson? That's laughable! Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sayuri's pupils suddenly dilated, and she immediately retreated rapidly, only stopping when she was four or five meters away!

"That's... ice?"

Right where she had just been standing, a straight icicle shot out from the floor. If she hadn't dodged it in time, she probably would have been skewered like a "Sayuri skewer"!

"Such a quick reaction time! It seems your first-place finish in the group wasn't just good luck..."

As Tanikawa Rin spoke with emotion, a flash of red light appeared in her eyes, and a thick black fog appeared in an instant, completely enveloping them in a flash!

Sayuri looked surprised as she gazed at the azure figure that slowly emerged from beside Tanikawa Rin, her expression immediately turning serious.

"The black mist, and this subtle aura... You wouldn't happen to be like that ugly monster, you're... you're... I remember now, you're both members of the Illuminati!"

"Ugly monster?"

Tanikawa Rin looked at him strangely, and after a long while, he finally said, "You mean Z, right?"

"Is that the name?"

Sayuri put her finger to her lips and mumbled something, then clenched her fist and yelled at the other person!

"It doesn't matter. Since you're a member of the Illuminati, you're part of evil. As the savior of this world, Sayuri will never let anyone who tries to harm the world get away with it! Sayuri's wish has always been—world peace!"

At the shrine, Natsuki used the information he gained from absorbing Z's mind to tell them about the Illuminati.

Of course, he emphasized the dangers of the Illuminati at the time, and even instructed the two that if they encountered members of the Illuminati, they should run away immediately!

"I'm sorry, Ms. Natsuki, I've remembered every word you said, but in this situation, I guess the only way I can leave safely is to defeat this guy?"

Sayuri looked at the surrounding black mist, its unprecedented density making even breathing feel icy cold. Without further hesitation, she gazed at Tanikawa Rin opposite her and silently murmured, "Holy Light!"

hum-

The power of holy light surged, and the little bear clip that he always wore on his head emitted a golden light. The brightness that burst forth in that instant even made Tanikawa Rin squint his eyes.

"What's this cowgirl up to? And this repulsive aura, what is it...?"

Before she could think too much, Sayuri in her eyes had changed. Her sportswear had been redesigned, now made of white gauze, which accentuated her pure and holy aura.

In particular, the crucial area, covered by the thin gauze, appeared even more conspicuous, causing Tanikawa Rin's face to darken once again.

"Are you... trying to provoke me in another way?"

Blinded by rage, she didn't delve into the changes happening to Sayuri. She simply placed her hand on the shoulder of the azure-blue figure beside her and said in a cold voice, "Summon the gods and demons, merge!"

Rumble!

Ice-blue lightning exploded above the black mist and then fell straight down, covering both of them at the same time!

Is this guy about to self-destruct?

The thought had just crossed Sayuri's mind when her expression suddenly changed, because she sensed a terrifying aura emanating from the icy blue lightning!

pat!

Suddenly, feet made of ice burst forth from the lightning. Sayuri looked up and saw a colossal frost giant standing before her.

At the same time, the voice of Tanikawa Rin came from the mouth of the Frost Giant: "Let me reintroduce myself. My code name is Frost Giant, and I am also the 25th member of the Illuminati—Y!"

……

Chapter 72 The Third Holy Light Girl

clap clap clap!

Sweat beaded on his forehead and dripped down his cheeks, while the steam from his mouth unknowingly dampened his glasses.

Xia Mu simply put away his glasses, wiped the sweat from his brow, and then continued to gaze at the void before him.

Around him, one massive shadow giant after another fell, each bearing the marks of a cross-shaped blade. The power of holy light continuously eroded their bodies, dissolving them completely in no time.

"Phew... Now... you should be out of options, right... Phew..."

Xia Mu gasped for breath a few times. The holy light on the blade was no longer as dazzling as before, as if the continuous battles had caused a massive depletion of the holy light within his body.

Fortunately, Xia Mu had quickly annihilated the dozen or so Shadow Giants despite his best efforts. Once he dealt with the Void on the other side, he could—

Just as the image of a twin-tailed girl flashed through his mind, the void before him suddenly sneered: "I say, what have you been so passionate about from just now until now? You don't actually think that's all I'm capable of, do you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, clusters of dark matter rose from the ground around him again, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in Xia Mu's mind.

"it turns out……"

The scene that had just been painstakingly cleaned up was suddenly ravaged by multiple shadow giants, and their numbers had multiplied several times over.

The dense fog and the ghostly aura that almost irritated his nasal passages made Xia Mu's stomach churn, but he still managed to suppress any unusual behavior.

Judging from the strength of his soul power, the Shadow Giant in front of him had only just reached the threshold of level 4, and was even a bit inferior to the former Z.

However, their numbers were truly staggering. Even though Xia Mu had been strengthened, he still couldn't withstand the encirclement. He could only take down a dozen or so despite his best efforts. If the fight continued, the consequences for him would likely be dire...

Is this the essence of the Illuminati?

In Z's previous memories, since it was still an unknown territory, Xia Mu didn't have much of an impression of the Illuminati. It wasn't until this moment that he truly understood what the power of the Illuminati was!

That's why Xia Mu was so puzzled. Such a terrifying organization should normally leave some trace in history or in the developed news media. It's even possible that if they wanted to, they could seize national power, provide themselves with a continuous supply of human sacrifices, and establish some kind of supreme state religion!

However, Xia Mu was able to find very little information; he could only deduce the Illuminati organization from Z's memories...

He shook his head, forcibly clearing away these unnecessary thoughts, and his gaze became firm again.

For me right now, the most important thing is to overcome the emptiness in front of me and go to the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. After all, I made a promise to Sayuri, and as a psychology teacher, I should fulfill that promise!

Thinking this, Xia Mu's [Sacred Artifact] emitted golden light once more. Just as he was preparing to completely exhaust the last bit of holy light in his body to fight his way out of this place, he suddenly sensed something and turned to look in a certain direction.

"This feeling is—"

Ok?

At the same time, Void seemed to sense something as well. When it looked in the same direction as Xia Mu, its eyes first showed doubt, followed by deep shock.

"The barrier has been discovered!"

Click, click!

As soon as he finished speaking, cracks suddenly appeared in the surrounding space, falling from mid-air like fragments. Dark mist swirled around them, as if it had existed for a long time.

Is this... an illusion?!

Looking at the completely shattered space and the surging black mist, Xia Mu finally realized that he had been in a false space all along!

call out--

An arrow suddenly landed on the ground between the two, piercing through the middle of a shadow giant. After struggling for a few moments, it turned into black specks of crystalline light and vanished.

Both of them turned their gazes in the direction from which the arrow had come, and what they saw reflected in their eyes was a figure enveloped in golden light. Looking at that familiar face, Xia Mu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Rika?!!!"

……

Time goes back to ten minutes ago.

It's still the same commercial street, but the difference is that because of today's competition, it's bustling with people and full of a lively atmosphere.

However, among the crowd, a girl dressed as a shrine maiden, looking timidly at the people passing by, was enough to make some loli lovers show a look of infatuation.

"The Tokyo Dome, it should be in this direction, right?"

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Kanzaki Rika said somewhat uncertainly.

Although modern technology is quite advanced, Rika often stays at home, and her usual activities are limited to practicing archery and helping her mother with shrine matters when she has free time. Staying indoors for long periods of time is the norm for her.

But remembering the sincere invitation from a certain twin-tailed girl, Rika bravely overcame her fear of getting lost and, with the help of others, finally arrived at the place.

In the end, they still got lost.

"Maybe we should ask again..."

Completely unaware that if she stopped and looked into the distance again, she could see the Tokyo Metropolitan Stadium in the distance. After cheering herself on, she finally prepared herself and put her hand on the shoulder of a passerby next to her.

"Excuse me, could you...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Rika suddenly turned her head, her expression somewhat puzzled, but that familiar aura made her feel as if she had seen it before.

In particular, the whale clip on her head was now emitting a faint golden light, but because it was daytime, the golden light was completely ignored by the people around her.

Rika gently touched the whale clip with her hand, and a faint light also emanated from her fingertips.

"Did you feel it too? Yes, it must be Teacher Xia Mu! We have to get there right away!"

She muttered something to herself, and the person next to her tilted their head to look at her, about to say something, when they saw the girl turn around and run straight away, leaving only a decisive and determined silhouette.

"What a strange person..."

The pedestrians spoke in silence.

The next moment, he suddenly sneezed, tightening his clothes as he looked up at the sky, muttering to himself:

"What's going on? It's so hot, why do I feel so cold? It's really strange..."

"But speaking of which, wasn't that girl a shrine maiden?"
