In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

As soon as she finished speaking, tentacles identical to those from before began to emerge from the sand. In just a few breaths, they almost covered the entire area. Then, one after another, enormous squid appeared from the sand, numbering more than a dozen!

Boom boom boom!

Countless tentacles slapped against the sand, creating a sound like a small earthquake. The enormous eyes staring at them filled the two girls with a sense of despair.

After all, these are more than ten level 3 ghosts, not to mention that some of them are giant squid that have reached the peak of level 3 soul power. Compared to before, the level of danger has increased exponentially!

Normally, a ghost that has reached the level of level 3 soul power can slaughter hundreds of humans at will. If it weren't for certain restrictions, it could even destroy a small town!

Ordinary cold weapons are no longer enough to pose a threat to this level of ghost. Even the advanced electromagnetic weapons of modern countries will be rendered ineffective by the ghost's power. If modern armies were to encounter it, the outcome would probably not be too optimistic!

As for Sayuri, although she didn't know why this seemingly ordinary beach would attract so many ghosts, she was quite certain that the three of them would probably have a hard time getting through this!

"That wretched squid monster!"

Beside her, Nanako was struggling to strike various poses, raising her arms from time to time, opening her palms from time to time, and even making the most classic energy blast move of a certain cosmic hero, which made Sayuri look puzzled.

What are you doing?

"Didn't you notice, sister? Nanako is unleashing the power she had just used! Damn it, she was fine before! Come out here right now!"

"..."

Sayuri didn't know how to respond, which seemed to explain why the girl hadn't transformed into her holy light form earlier. It turned out that the girl's use of holy light power earlier was just a coincidence.

Despite her confusion, Sayuri explained the method to activate the [Holy Artifact] to Nanako. At first, Nanako didn't quite believe it, but when she uttered "Holy Light," the surface of the bracelet glowed, and she showed a surprised expression.

"Sayuri-neechan, that's really amazing!"

This time, an even more intense holy light surged from the bracelet, with streams of light flowing out from within and swirling around Nanako's body. The reactivation of this power was transforming the girl's body in an unimaginable way.

The giant squids around them, who were initially eager to celebrate this "delicious treat from the sky," were suddenly startled by the appearance of the holy light. They raised their tentacles to shield themselves and even instinctively retreated further away.

Beside the two girls, Kato Yuri, who was in a coma, had a gloomy expression on her face due to the draining of her life force. However, after the appearance of the holy light, her furrowed brows gradually calmed down, and she seemed to have received some comfort. Even the rapid rise and fall of her chest became much smoother.

Sayuri clenched her fists and said hopefully, "Yosh, this is your holy light form, Nanako! Let these guys see it for themselves, the light of justice... Huh?"

Suddenly, the power of holy light turned into sparkling specks and dissipated. Nanako reappeared, scratching the back of her head sheepishly.

"Sorry, I was too excited just now and I think I used up all my power. What should I do now..."

Sayuri: "..."

Giant squid school: "..."

……

Chapter 139 Rescue

"it turns out……"

Sayuri was stunned.

Then he realized that he had been troubled by the same problem when he first used the power of holy light.

The girl used this power for the first time, and the intensity of that attack could only be a fleeting moment. How could she possibly activate it successfully again?

Roar! ! !

The giant squid seemed to sense that they were being toyed with by the two girls. With the disappearance of the dangerous holy light, the giant squid swarm no longer cared and roared as they surrounded the girls.

The bloody killing intent that instantly filled the air seemed to freeze the atmosphere!

Boom boom boom!

Countless tentacles stirred up the thick black mist, and the resulting heavy pressure made Nanako unable to help but hug Sayuri, while also holding onto her mother with one hand.

"Sayuri-neechan...are we...are we going to die?"

The girl's voice trembled noticeably.

After all, under the blessing of holy light, the fear in one's heart will decrease to its lowest level for a certain period of time, but after the power is consumed, it will naturally return to its previous state.

In particular, the sheer number of these enormous squid amplifies the fear even further, so Nanako's reaction is not surprising.

Fortunately, Sayuri's numerous battles with demons meant she wouldn't reveal any weaknesses in this situation.

Even though her pupils were visibly trembling, she still stood in front of Nanako, her arms outstretched, protecting the girl and her mother.

"Don't worry, even if Sayuri-neechan dies, she won't let these guys bully you!"

Although she said this, Sayuri wasn't very confident, and even felt extremely regretful that she had forgotten something so important...

Suddenly, she thought of a certain man. It seemed that her feelings for Xia Mu had become turbulent, causing her to resist the existence of the [Sacred Artifact].

After all, that little bear clip was initially regarded as a "token of love" by her!

However, at this moment, Sayuri admitted that an uncontrollable thought arose in her heart, and the desire to see Natsuki reached its peak, like a raging flood, completely occupying the girl's heart.

in case……

I really can't leave here today...

Really...

I really want to see it again...

Teacher Xia Mu...

“Sayuri…”

Wait, why do I hear Natsuki-sensei's voice? Is it because she misses that man too much that she...?

boom!

boom!

boom!

Amid the girl's puzzled thoughts, the largest squid had already approached, raising its tentacles, from which a translucent liquid dripped continuously.

At the very tip, as if imbued with consciousness, they twisted and turned flexibly, seemingly experiencing a terrifying "excitement" due to what they were about to do.

Finally, the tentacle slammed down, its target clearly Sayuri and the others below. Just as it was about to touch them, a point of light suddenly appeared above the black mist.

hum!

Amidst the buzzing sound, the light spots tore through the black mist, revealing two intersecting rays of light, which were then ripped open in a terrifying manner.

At the same time, a male voice came from above: "Sayuri, we've come to save you! Cross Slash!"

boom!

The cross-shaped blade tore through the black mist, causing the giant squid to pause slightly.

Those around them instinctively raised their eyes and looked at the cross-shaped sharpness that suddenly appeared in the sky. In their eyes, which were originally full of killing intent, a kind of emotion called "fear" appeared again.

hum-

The cross-shaped blade suddenly flashed across, landing on the giant squid closest to Sayuri and the others. Its swaying tentacles stopped instantly, and several other giant squid behind it were also pierced through by the cross-shaped blade, all frozen in place.

Whoosh!

Terrifying cross-shaped marks appeared between the eyes of these giant squids, then expanded, slicing their entire bodies into several pieces. Pieces fell from the sky, causing Sayuri and Nanako to show surprised expressions.

"Sayuri-neechan, what was that just now—"

Nanako said in confusion, while Sayuri seemed to have thought of something, turned her head, and a smile appeared on her lips, as warm as the sun.

"Hehe, Teacher Xia Mu has finally come to our rescue!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a male figure suddenly appeared from the opening above. He held a blade that he had obtained from who-knows-where, and its cross-shaped edge crashed down like a meteor, bringing annihilation to the giant swarm of squid!

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Roar--

Giant squid roared and swung their tentacles, attempting to attack the man in mid-air. However, the appearance of another figure brought an equally formidable danger!

"How dare you hurt Sayuri! Watch how Shirashima punishes you with holy light!"

She had wings on her back, and her blue-black armor shone brightly in the sky, dyeing the surrounding black mist with a beautiful color.

The blade light that fell from his hand, just like the man before, wiped out the soul power of the giant squid one by one. Each attack flashed by, representing the annihilation of a giant squid!

In addition, on the beach, a girl who also exudes an aura of holy light is running fast to condense a longbow.

She appeared out of nowhere, and sharp arrows pierced through the black mist, striking the tentacles of Sayuri and Nanako who were trying to touch them in their panic. She was protecting the two girls' safety in her own way.

In just a short while, the giant squid around were completely cleared away, and the thick black fog gradually dissipated, returning the entire beach to its previous state.

All that remained were the soul crystals, shimmering with an unusual luster, radiating an indescribable beauty in the gradually brightening sunlight.

"They...are so...amazing..."

Nanako's mouth dropped open as they approached, and she realized that the person who had defeated the group of squids was the one who had come here with Sayuri.

She hadn't expected that, besides herself, there were others like the people in front of her who possessed magical powers, and that the seemingly powerful giant squid swarm was defeated in an instant!

Just as they were about to speak, they saw the seemingly strong twin-tailed girl suddenly run towards them. When she reached a white-haired man, she pounced on him.

"Teacher Natsuki!!!"

……

Chapter 140 Awakening

"Teacher Natsuki!!!"

Sayuri threw herself onto the man, and when she looked up, her big eyes were already filled with tears. She no longer cared about her swimsuit, which she had been wearing to feel a little shy.

"Waaaaah... Natsuki-sensei... Sayuri almost thought... she would never see you again in this lifetime... Wow..."

Who could have imagined this?

Yesterday, Sayuri was still unable to let go of the "ambiguous" hug that Natsuki had shared with her mother.

However, because of what had just happened, Sayuri suddenly realized that the man had unknowingly become a very important figure in her life.

At least in the girl's heart, Natsuki had surpassed her deceased father and reached the same level as her mother, Mikiko.

Now, thanks to the man and Shiroshima's help, Sayuri has been reborn and naturally wants to let go of the past, which is why the scene before us is like this.

“Sayuri-neechan…”
