In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

The gun body is made of a metallic silver material, covered with mysterious patterns. Upon closer inspection, it looks like a dragon crisscrossing the surface of the gun body, and under the shroud of holy light, it is full of strange spirituality.

[Spear of Longinus], this is another new ability he gained when the cross necklace changed again!

It is a legendary weapon of the gods.

Countless powerful demons have perished under the gun, and even gods of equal power have not been exempt!

The Spear of Longinus was manifested by the necklace in some way. Although it was only in a projection-like state, according to Xia Mu's understanding, its powerful force was far beyond what his past skills could compare to!

After its appearance, the demons who were about to attack again showed an unusual fear.

They roared and raised their arms, trying to shield themselves from the holy light shining down from the gun. The burning pain was now clearly imprinted on their souls, causing them extreme agony.

Moreover, the giant egg in mid-air seemed to have sensed the danger, and the nascent forbidden species inside was showing unprecedented agitation.

Its constantly moving body seemed to be forcibly breaking through the barrier of the giant egg, and faint cracks had already appeared on the surface of the eggshell.

Click, click—

Seeing this, Xia Mu showed no panic. He simply maintained his stance, holding the Spear of Longinus, his gaze fixed on the forbidden species' embryonic form in mid-air, and whispered again:

"This level is far from enough. Continue—Stigmata Resonance!"

boom!

The activation of the skill caused a massive surge of holy light to erupt from his body, and the wings on the cross necklace began to flutter gently.

In Xia Mu's eyes, the cross-shaped mark underwent a slight change. A crystal-clear star shape combined with the cross-shaped mark, seemingly symbolizing some kind of magical change being released on him!

At the same time, the dragon on the Spear of Longinus came to life, not only swimming on its surface but also emitting roars that terrified the demons around them, causing them to retreat involuntarily.

Layers of wind and waves were spreading outwards from Natsuki's center. Even Sayuri and Rika could only raise their arms and look ahead through a few gaps.

"Wow...that's amazing..."

Sayuri exclaimed, turning to Natsuki and shouting, "Go, Natsuki-sensei!!!"

Rika, standing beside him, also cheered Natsuki on, ignoring the fluttering skirt below.

Hearing the voices of the two girls behind him, Xia Mu smiled. When he sensed that the Spear of Longinus had reached its limit, he didn't hesitate any longer and thrust it heavily into the forbidden seed bud in mid-air!

boom!

The terrifying power instantly tore through the void, and at the moment of detonation, an astonishing sonic boom resounded!

Circular ripples followed the path of the Spear of Longinus, seemingly unable to withstand even the void itself, showing signs of collapse!

Roar--

The forbidden species nascent form finally emerged from the giant egg. It had just howled towards the sky, expressing its joy at coming into the world, when in the next moment, a weapon with a double-headed spiral spearhead struck it!

An indescribable, massive impact spread from the collision of the two, and before the forbidden species could react, it was completely annihilated by the Spear of Longinus!

Whoosh!

The lingering shockwaves shook the surrounding black mist, and the speed at which they dissipated was unprecedented!

After the forbidden seed nascent form died, a crystal resembling a soul crystal slowly floated down from mid-air and eventually landed in Xia Mu's hand.

Its surface color is different from the previous soul crystals. Red and black light flowed faintly on the surface, and the soul power contained inside was the most concentrated that Xia Mu had ever sensed!

If we compare them, the difference might be several times, or even dozens of times!

It's hard to imagine what kind of terrifying monster this forbidden species would become if it were to fully revive and grow.

Xia Mu then realized that the more powerful the ghost, the different the soul crystals that condense after its death. Even the soul crystals obtained from members of the Illuminati had completely different appearances.

However, this thought only flashed through Xia Mu's mind. At this moment, he was quite curious about what kind of changes would occur to the cross necklace after it devoured the soul crystal of this forbidden seed embryo.

However, when he looked around, the demonized person was returning to his previous appearance, his huge body turning back into its original shape like a balloon.

Including those unfortunate people whose life force was transferred, after dying from the forbidden species, their skin surface faintly showed signs of blood flowing through it, and they were able to regain their vitality!

The monitoring equipment and electronic screens everywhere have also returned to normal, and the electronic lights are flashing slightly, which is a sign that the signal has returned.

Before long, the black fog completely dissipated, and light reappeared in the Tokyo Gymnasium, illuminating the chaotic scene.

"Finally...did you take care of that guy?"

Sayuri spoke in a daze, then exchanged a glance with Rika before suddenly hugging her, their faces beaming with joy.

"Um……"

The girl who had been unconscious slowly woke up, looking around with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

This is where?

where am I?

I wasn't just now—

As far as I can remember, because she had completely unleashed the power of the ghosts, the side effects in her body erupted directly. In the last second before she lost consciousness, she was surrounded by terrifying people. Their eyes, like those of hungry wolves, made her feel as if she were already in a deadly situation.

Just as she was losing consciousness, in that boundless darkness, a warm light suddenly appeared.

It was that ray of light that guided me out of the darkness, and when I awoke again, this was the scene before me.

"Oh, right, Sayuri—"

She subconsciously called out a girl's name, but what she saw was Sayuri and Rika embracing each other.

Looking around at the ruins left after the battle, and a handsome man slowly walking towards her, the clever girl immediately understood what had happened.

"Teacher Xia Mu!"

……

Chapter 82 Did Mikiko discover it?

The forbidden species' nascent form perished, the black mist dissipated, and Tokyo's largest stadium finally regained its former brightness.

However, when people regained consciousness, they found inexplicable injuries on their bodies. The scene, resembling ruins, left most of them stunned, as if they were still dreaming.

Soon, the stadium staff retrieved the surveillance footage in an attempt to determine what had happened while they were unconscious.

As a result, no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find a single piece of useful information. This rather absurd scene was thus presented to everyone.

Due to the large number of people involved, the organizers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium were forced to suspend the event and arrange for people to leave the venue in an orderly manner.

Fortunately, although they had all fallen into unknown comas, after some statistics, most of them were only injured. Only one player disappeared without a trace, and he was a favorite to win the championship!

Therefore, they immediately launched a thorough investigation.

In the midst of their busy work, they failed to notice that after the incident, a group of people quietly slipped away amidst the chaos.

Among these people was a girl who had just won first place in the group preliminary competition.

……

"Mom, are you sure everything is okay?"

Outside the gymnasium, Sayuri was asking her mother questions. By this time, she had changed back into her Tokyo Gakuen school uniform, and her hair had returned to its usual twin-tail style.

"No problem."

Mikiko simply responded with a smile.

Then she looked up and said to Natsuki, who had been waiting for a long time, "I'm sorry, Natsuki-sensei. After what happened, I still have to trouble you to take Sayuri home..."

Xia Mu shook his head, opened his mouth but still asked, "It's nothing, the main thing is, Mikiko, are you sure you don't need to rest a bit more?"

"Thank you for your concern, Teacher Xia Mu. However, my job at the hot spring resort prevents me from taking a long leave. If I don't go back soon, I'm afraid I'll have to find another place."

As she spoke, she stroked Sayuri's hair, her face full of doting affection: "Besides, everything I do is for my most important daughter, so it's nothing to suffer a little."

Sayuri's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she unconsciously cursed a certain member of the Illuminati in her heart.

If it weren't for that guy's sudden appearance, I might have already won the award, and Mikiko wouldn't have had to work so hard...

Beside him, Shiroshima watched this scene with a hint of envy, seemingly recalling certain scenarios, and momentarily lost in thought.

Rika noticed her expression, thought for a moment, and then took her hand, giving Shirashima a faint smile, which dispelled some of the gloom in the white-haired girl's heart.

Not long after, the taxi stopped by the roadside. Mikiko gently stroked Sayuri's face again, and then suddenly leaned close to Natsuki's ear.

Because of the weather, she was wearing rather thin clothes today, with only a white gauze coat barely covering her upper body. The moment she leaned closer, a glimpse of her proud, snow-white skin was instantly revealed to Xia Mu.

In a sense, although Sayuri was nicknamed "Cow Girl" by a now-extinct member of the Illuminati, she still seemed a bit immature compared to Mikiko.

At least in terms of figure, Mikiko is like a ripe peach. Every move she makes has a unique charm. Her fair and rosy skin is radiant. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she looks like a young girl!

However, Natsuki was not paying attention to the beautiful scenery at the moment. He was only surprised after hearing Mikiko's words.

"Thank you so much for taking care of Sayuri, Natsuki-sensei..."

What does it mean?

Didn't we already emphasize this once before?

Why now again?

Wait, could it be that Mikiko is trying to express something like...?

He seemed to realize something, and when he looked up, he saw a pair of meaningful eyes, the message of which seemed to confirm his own thoughts.

"Well then, thank you for your hard work—"

Goodbye, Mom!

"Aunt Mikiko, bye-bye..."

"..."

The girl waved to the departing taxi until it completely disappeared around the corner. Only then did Xia Mu dispel his thoughts and turn to look at the three girls, his face gradually becoming serious.

"Teacher Xia Mu..."

Shirashima seemed to have been waiting for this moment. She bit her lip and was about to speak when she saw a warm arm that pulled the three of them into its embrace. Along with that, the man's gentle words rang out.

"I'm so glad you're all alright!"

Recalling the events just now, although she finally defeated the forbidden species without any real danger, Xia Mu was extremely anxious both on the way to the stadium and during the process of absorbing the soul crystal.

The girl's voice kept echoing in his ears, and even without opening his eyes, he could clearly feel the danger of the battle!

That's why Xia Mu forcibly focused his attention and devoted himself entirely to absorbing the power of the soul crystal, just to get ahead of time and prevent certain tragedies from happening.
