In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

Sayuri glanced at Kato Yuri's face and sensed that the other's life force was draining away more and more quickly, so she immediately prepared to exert force again.

"Damn it, if I had a [Holy Artifact] on me, I could take down this guy in an instant..."

In Sayuri's perception, the giant squid's soul power was only at the level of a level 3 ghost. Even she, who had just obtained the power of holy light, could easily defeat it!

However, at present, he had no other choice but to use this method to completely free Kato Yuri from the giant squid's tentacles before her life force completely dissipated.

"Put it down for me—"

Before she could finish speaking, a tremendous force suddenly came from behind. Sayuri looked closely and saw that smooth tentacles had wrapped around her waist. Before she could react, she was suspended in mid-air by the tentacles, just like Kato Yuri.

"I can't muster... any strength..."

Sayuri felt that as the tentacles tightened around her, the power within her body gradually disappeared, as if it were being sucked away in some way. Even though she tried her best, she was unable to break free. Instead, it seemed to have stimulated the giant squid, and its tightening movements became even more violent.

"Well……"

She couldn't help but cry out in pain; even her body, strengthened by the holy light, couldn't withstand such "rough" treatment.

In particular, after wrapping around the waist, the tentacles continued to wrap around other parts of the body, with the thighs and arms being tightly bound one after the other.

The veins on his chest were faintly visible, clearly squeezed by pressure, preventing blood from flowing smoothly.

In just a few breaths, Sayuri found herself in the same predicament as Kato Yuri. Her face was flushed, but she had not completely given up hope.

However, when a dark shadow appeared before her, with a clear liquid flowing from the tip of its tentacle as it drew closer, she couldn't help but scream, "No!!! Help—"

……

Chapter 137 Nanako's Holy Light

boom!

The sudden burst of light annihilated the tip of Sayuri's tentacle that was about to approach her.

This scene caused the giant squid to roar repeatedly, and its dozen or so tentacles thrashed about, as if it too were feeling the pain.

"This is……"

Sayuri stared blankly at the scene. Not long ago, she thought she would be in the same situation as Kato Yuri, but the attack just now made the girl feel the aura of holy light!

She instinctively looked toward the source of the light, and when she saw the figure floating in mid-air on the sea, a look of shock immediately appeared on her face.

"It was actually—"

Let's rewind a few minutes.

clap clap clap!

Sayuri's back was turned as she strode resolutely toward that terrifying figure. Waves of seawater, stained with black mist, crashed against her, but the girl's steps did not falter in the slightest...

Nanako stared blankly at the scene, feeling an unprecedented surge of emotion affecting her body, leaving her only able to watch helplessly, unable even to take a single step...

Is this... fear...?

Suddenly, this terrifying thought popped into Nanako's mind, followed by a wave of disbelief!

Even though she had made a promise to herself in the past that no matter what happened, she would become the strongest shield to protect Kato Yuri from future dangers!

However, when it actually happened, Nanako was horrified to find that she seemed to be unable to do anything. Her previous "little adult" image completely collapsed, and her foot, which she tried so hard to lift, did not respond at all!

"Let go... Aunt Lily..."

Sayuri's voice reached the girl's ears. Watching Sayuri risk her own safety to save her mother, Nanako suddenly felt as if something was sprouting in her heart...

If the girl looked down, she could clearly see that the surface of the bracelet was emitting an unprecedented brilliance.

hum-

Sizzle sizzle!

The black mist that was spreading around them stopped under the influence of the light, as if it had encountered some great terror, forming a "vacuum zone" only a few meters around the girl!

"Danger—Sayuri-neechan!"

Nanako suddenly exclaimed. She clenched her fists instinctively. In her eyes, Sayuri was being bound by the tentacles of a giant squid. Even though she struggled to break free, it was all in vain. She was even in the same situation as Kato Yuri!

If this continues, not only Mom, but also Sayuri will be in mortal danger!

No, we can't just sit idly by anymore. Didn't you promise to protect Mom forever and keep all dangerous things away from her?

Moreover, Sayuri is someone who makes you feel warm, besides your mother. How can you let her be put in danger as well?

Now is the time for you to fulfill your promise!

……

Various thoughts kept popping into the girl's mind. Her resolute determination made her finally take a step. As the ripples of the sea spread out from where she stepped, a sudden burst of light made Nanako lower her head.

"Such warm light..."

In her eyes, the bracelet was emitting a dazzling light, and it seemed to be breathing rhythmically, gradually enveloping the girl's entire body as its range expanded.

Nanako subconsciously touched the halo, and as if sensing something, she suddenly raised her head, and a faint cross-shaped holy mark was slowly emerging in her eyes.

However, compared to the holy light forms of Sayuri and others, the marks on this cross-shaped holy mark are noticeably less clear.

However, the holy light that surged forth in that instant was dissipated much faster than the surrounding black mist. When the little girl raised her finger, her fingertip quickly condensed into a torrent of holy light, which surged directly toward the tentacles that were about to pounce on Sayuri!

boom!

In just a moment, the impact of the holy light shattered the tips of the giant squid's tentacles. It thrashed its tentacles wildly, leaving marks on the surrounding beach.

At this moment, he finally realized something. The huge eyes that had been raised by a person stared straight at the girl on the sea. The cruel killing intent spread out instantly, staining the entire area with an even more terrifying "black"!

At the same time, Sayuri noticed the change in Nanako, and an expression of disbelief flashed across her face: "Why? Nanako... she also possesses the power of holy light?!"

Her gaze fell on the arm where the holy light was most concentrated. The unreserved holy light aura was clearly a [Holy Artifact]!

The problem is, Natsuki-sensei has never mentioned that he ever gave the "Sacred Relic" to Nanako...

and many more……

Could it be...?

Sayuri suddenly thought of a possibility. She thought of Natsuki and Mikiko, as well as Mizuno-sensei and Mai-sensei in the school clinic. This seemed to confirm that mature women had a tremendous attraction for Natsuki!

Nanako's mother, Kato Yuri, is, in a sense, mature to the point of being stunningly beautiful. Her every move is incredibly charming to ordinary men, so how could Natsuki-sensei resist?

In other words, it's possible that Natsuki, without his knowledge, gave the [Sacred Relic] to Nanako in order to gain Kato Yuri's favor...

Nanako had no idea that the [Sacred Artifact] she had accidentally activated would cause such a reaction from a twin-tailed girl. At this moment, she was just staring at her palm, repeatedly asking in surprise, "Was that power I just witnessed?"

She never imagined that the chain she was wearing would cause such a change in her, meaning that she might now possess the power to fight the giant squid and fulfill her promise!

The next moment, a resolute look flashed in Nanako's eyes. She raised her arm again, and the holy light around her surged, squeezing and spreading the seawater wave after wave. When the power was condensed to the limit, a stream of light that was several times larger than the previous attack was suddenly launched from the front of her palm!

"You hideous monster, let go of Mommy and Sayuri-neechan!"

boom!

The camera pans to show a stream of light passing through the giant squid's body, stopping its frantic tentacle-flapping motion, and Sayuri and Kato Yuri finally break free.

Then look between the two eyes, a terrifying hole suddenly appears, black liquid flows out from inside, and then it crashes down behind it!

boom--

……

Chapter 138 Sudden Changes

pat!

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! So much sand..."

Sayuri coughed a few times, patting her chest as she did so. A few drops of viscous liquid remained on her chest as her breasts trembled, shimmering strangely in the sunlight.

The next moment, as if finally remembering something, Sayuri quickly looked at Kato Yuri next to her, checked her breathing and found that her life force had returned to its previous state. Her skin, which was originally almost exhausted, gradually became moisturized and blushed. It seemed that there was nothing seriously wrong.

"Phew, thankfully I was rescued at the last minute, any later and..."

Through numerous battles with demons, Sayuri has begun to discern some patterns.

If the victim's life force has not been completely absorbed, the life force will naturally return after the ghost disappears. However, if the life force is completely absorbed, the body is destined to perish!

Fortunately, at the last moment, nothing unexpected happened to Kato Yuri, which was undoubtedly a stroke of luck amidst misfortune!

“…Sayuri-neechan…Mom…Are you both alright…”

Just then, Nanako's voice came from not far away. When Sayuri looked up, the girl had already run up to her, her face still damp with sweat and full of worry.

Sayuri stood up and comforted the girl, "Don't worry, Aunt Yuri is fine now that the monster has disappeared, so don't worry!"

Hearing this, Nanako finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That almost scared me to death..."

"Speaking of which..."

Sayuri's gaze shifted and landed on Nanako's bracelet. The holy light aura above it had not completely dissipated, and she could sense it.

"Nanako, can you tell me? Where did you get this from?"

Although Sayuri had considered all sorts of unbelievable possibilities not long ago, she quickly realized that if a man were truly so vulgar, she wouldn't like him so much, let alone be so determined to marry him.

Thinking of this, a feeling of shyness welled up in her heart, but because she had just engaged in "vigorous exercise" and her cheeks were still flushed, the shyness was not obvious.

Of course, besides the above thoughts, Sayuri also had a huge question.

Normally, when they use the [Holy Artifact], the Holy Light form will automatically activate, forming an external form that resembles a combat suit.

But just now, when Nanako unleashed the power of holy light, no battle suit formed from condensed holy light appeared around her body...

"This bracelet..."

Nanako looked down at the chain on her hand, and was about to explain when she suddenly felt a violent tremor from the ground.

Rumble!

She lost her balance and landed squarely on her bottom on the sand, letting out a cry of pain: "Ouch, that hurts!"

"Nanako!"

Sayuri quickly helped him up and glanced around. She noticed that the black mist that should have dissipated when the giant squid died was still present in the area. Moreover, as the sand trembled, the black mist surged more violently, as if it were nurturing something terrible!

"What on earth is going on? Wasn't that guy supposed to have completely disappeared? How could something like this happen? Could it be..."
