In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Sweat and the scent of youth filled the air amidst the girls' laughter. Looking at his teammates, whose spirits were noticeably different from before, Shiroshima couldn't help but smile.

Just as she was about to lock the door, a girl suddenly ran back, panting and resting her hands on her knees. Even though her collar had already revealed a bit of her cleavage, she still didn't care and said to Shirashima, "Captain Shirashima, please...please wait a moment, my schoolbag...I accidentally left it inside..."

"A schoolbag?"

Shirashima blinked, then opened the gymnasium door again, chuckling, "Go in and look for it. I'll lock the door when you find it."

"Thank you, Captain Shiroshima!"

The girl bowed deeply, not having time to say anything more, and rushed straight into the gymnasium. Her hurried manner made Shirashima shake his head slightly: "There's no need to rush like that..."

After waiting for a while, Shiroshima looked puzzled: "Strange, why is it taking so long? Judging from the timeline, we should have gotten the backpack by now..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp "Ah—" suddenly came from inside. Hearing the terror in the voice, Shiroshima didn't hesitate. He forcefully pushed the door open and ran quickly toward a certain place.

"Miyamoto-kun... Miyamoto-kun... Where are you... Miyamoto-kun... Can you hear me?"

She ran towards the lounge, her hurried footsteps echoing throughout the stadium. When she finally reached the lounge door, she put her hand on the handle, but couldn't open it from the inside!

Is it locked?

Shirashima frowned and simply rammed into the door. His seemingly frail body unleashed a powerful impact, and each impact caused the door to creak and groan, with the surface visibly denting.

Finally, after several impacts, the door was smashed open by Shiroshima, and she finally saw the scene inside.

"it turns out……"

Shiroshima's pupils dilate.

The once-vacant lounge was now shrouded in a thick layer of black mist. A young girl floated in mid-air, her clothes completely removed, leaving only a small, crucial piece of fabric covering her upper body. Her upper body was completely exposed. Her lifeless eyes suggested she had lost consciousness. Her backpack lay scattered below, revealing the books inside...

The camera pans to reveal a humanoid black shadow, about two meters tall, emanating black mist. The black mist on its back forms tentacles that grab the girl and lift her into the air. The shadow extends its arms, its sharp nails easily slicing through the girl's last remaining clothing. Liquid drips from the red light in its eyes, and strange liquid flows from its fanged lips, staining the black mist on the ground with an eerie red hue.

Even more unbelievable was that a certain part of the humanoid shadow was so unbearable to look at. After hearing the sound from the doorway, the shadow subconsciously turned around. The scene at that moment reminded Shiroshima of something, and a disgusted expression immediately appeared on his face.

"Disgusting monster... how could it have... Miyamoto-kun..."

Anger flashed in Shiroshima's eyes, and then he saw the humanoid black figure let out a shrill howl. The eyes that were staring at Shiroshima were filled with fierce ferocity!

"Roar!!!"

It pulled the girl aside, then bared its fangs and claws and charged towards the location of White Island. The sudden burst of power revealed the strength of its soul power, making it a level 3 peak ghost!

"No, this aura... it should be close to that of a dangerous ghost. Why would it suddenly..."

Through information sharing, Shiroshima learned that in Natsuki's initial classification, ghosts were divided into levels 1 to 3.

However, as time went on, they also learned that there were dangerous and forbidden types of ghosts. Therefore, when they judged that a ghost's soul power exceeded level 3, they classified it as a dangerous type!

The problem is that even considering the time he awakened his ghostly power in the past, and his encounters with members of the Illuminati, the strength of the ghostly soul power that naturally appears is not very high; level 3 is already extremely rare.

At least in Baidao's memory, this was the first time he had encountered a ghost that, in its natural state, possessed a soul power exceeding level 3!

These thoughts flashed through Shiroshima's mind. When she looked up again, the humanoid black shadow was already extremely close. The girl could even see it clearly, which made her feel even more disgusted.

"Hmph, even if it's a ghost that surpasses level 3, Shirashima is not afraid. Moreover, it's even more unforgivable that it has extended its evil claws to the members of the women's volleyball team!"

As Shiroshima spoke, she lightly touched the butterfly clip in her hair with her finger. As the divine power was activated, she softly uttered, "Holy Light!"

hum-

As soon as she finished speaking, a surge of holy light suddenly spread outwards, and a pair of huge, azure butterfly wings grew from her back. Before the humanoid black shadow could react, it was directly slammed back by the terrifying impact!

"Roar!!!"

The humanoid black shadow crashed into the black mist, roaring incessantly in place, its expression somewhat ferocious. In one place, it was directly cleaved in two by an invisible force, hanging limply down, looking utterly miserable!

Boom!

It struggled to its feet, opened its mouth wide, and was about to pounce on White Island again when a girl appeared before it. At the same time, a sharp weapon slashed straight down at it!

"Submit to your fate!"

boom!!!!!!

Chapter 152 Glimmer

This ghost has already surpassed level 3 soul power. If it were the old White Island, it might have been quite difficult to deal with it.

However, after merging with the power of the ghost within her, the girl has become much stronger. Coupled with the purifying effect of the holy light, she destroyed the humanoid shadow with a single strike!

Whoosh!

After he disappeared, the surrounding black mist also dissipated. He casually pocketed a soul crystal and immediately ran towards a girl, calling out, "Miyamoto-kun, Miyamoto-kun..."

Urged on by Shiroshima, the girl slowly woke up: "Captain? What happened to me...?"

Her eyes flickered, as if she were recalling something. Gazing at her smooth chest, she murmured, "I think... I remember... when I picked up the schoolbag just now... suddenly..."

The girl's gaze fell on Shiroshima, and she noticed that he was wearing clothes she had never seen before, and his soft skin shimmered with an unusual charm under the light.

Looking behind White Island, glistening specks drifted down slowly, and a pair of enormous blue wings flapped gently before our eyes, creating an indescribable visual impact!

"This...this..."

The girl's lips trembled, and she felt her worldview change instantly. She seemed unable to hold on any longer and fainted again. Shiroshima looked on with a puzzled expression until he turned around and realized that he didn't seem to have deactivated his holy light state. He immediately showed an embarrassed expression.

Fortunately, the girl was unharmed after the encounter, and the ghost was stopped by Shiroshima before it could harm her. Had it been any later, the girl might have already been…

Thinking of this, Shiroshima couldn't help but show a hint of relief: "Thank goodness, thank goodness..."

She released herself from her state, then suddenly remembered something, turned to look at the doorway, and her lips twitched slightly.

"I almost forgot, I think I damaged this door too. Maybe I should ask Teacher Xia Mu to take a look tomorrow..."

As she spoke, Shiroshima's gaze swept over the schoolbag that the girl had just dropped on the ground. She was about to go forward and pick it up when she suddenly noticed an object shimmering with a faint light among the pile of messy books, which made her look surprised.

"This thing...why does it look so much like..."

……

The same thing happened not only to Shiroshima, but also to a twin-tailed girl who was returning home with her mother—

"...The spirit of justice...burns eternally...the power of a maiden...slays the evil of the world..."

Under the soft glow of the lamplight, Sayuri was humming an unknown tune, skipping along the road, seemingly in a very pleasant mood.

Behind her, Mikiko, seeing Sayuri in this state, also smiled.

Since returning from her trip to Hokkaido, Sayuri has clearly returned to her previous state, which is something to be happy about, at least in Mikiko's eyes, and this also confirms her own thoughts.

The image of a certain man flashed through her mind, and Mikiko didn't forget to remind Sayuri, "Sayuri, watch your step, don't bump into anything..."

"understood……"

Sayuri responded without turning her head, then suddenly stopped, her gaze falling on the darkness ahead, her expression immediately turning serious.

"What is that? Show yourself!"

Mikiko blinked, seemingly unaware of the current situation, until her gaze followed the girl's and she caught sight of a emaciated, disheveled figure slowly emerging from the darkness, and she immediately showed a puzzled expression.

After it appeared, the clouds in the sky suddenly became thick, and a faint black mist also unknowingly stained the surrounding streets with a layer of black color.

"This person is..."

"Mom, you go first, this thing is a ghost!"

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, Mikiko looked at Sayuri with concern, seemingly preparing to leave with the girl. However, the twin-tailed girl in her eyes was already silently chanting, "Holy Light!"

In an instant, the holy light power condensed from fiery red energy enveloped the girl, and in just a moment, it formed a sphere of flames that slowly swirled around her. With a "whoosh" sound, the flames dissipated, and the girl, whose holy light state had been activated and whose attire and aura had changed in sync, suddenly appeared in front of Mikiko.

"Mom, leave this guy to me. He's just a weak demon. Sayuri can take care of him in a second!"

“Sayuri…”

Hearing the girl's words, Mikiko bit her lip, her hand instinctively grabbing her chest, kneading it unconsciously until it was deformed. After a while, she nodded emphatically, "Mmm!"

clap clap clap!

Turning her head slightly to confirm that Mikiko had left, Sayuri finally let out a breath, her gaze returning to the demon in front of her, her expression becoming puzzled: "Strange, why do I sense the aura of a dangerous species emanating from this thing..."

No matter how immature she was, after activating the Holy Light state, rationality would temporarily prevail in her mind, which made the girl immediately notice the strangeness of the ghost in front of her.

She encountered the same thing as Shiroshima. Even though a level 3 ghost is already quite rare in Tokyo, her team had never seen anything of that level before they met the Illuminati!

However, on the same night, not only Shiroshima, but also Sayuri encountered a ghost with a soul power exceeding level 3, which was already quite a strange thing!

However, Sayuri was unaware that Shirashima, also a Saint Light Girl, had the same experience as her. She was only slightly surprised at first, but her eyes quickly returned to indifference. Just as she was about to unleash her blade, her brows suddenly furrowed deeply again.

Just moments before, the ghost's body had completely emerged from the darkness, and Sayuri also saw a figure wrapped in hair with its eyes closed, seemingly unconscious.

"When...when was that girl..."

A bad feeling flashed through Sayuri's mind. Her gaze continued to move, trying to check on the girl's condition, but when she noticed something on the girl's body, she suddenly couldn't help but exclaim, "That thing, it actually..."

It was an earring that shimmered with a faint light.

Unlike her trip to the North Sea, it seems that the power of the holy light was automatically activated because of her contact with the ghosts. Even though the girl was unconscious, Sayuri could clearly feel this familiar power!

Roar! ! !

Before she could even be surprised, Sayuri saw the ghost rushing towards her and immediately raised her blade to meet it: "Damn it, let go of that girl right now!"

Chapter 153 [The New Sacred Artifact]

At the same time, in a shrine in the city, Rika, dressed as a shrine maiden, stared at the balloon-like object floating in mid-air before her, her face filled with a solemn expression.

Around the "balloon," glistening tentacles reached out, grabbing unconscious figures and letting them float in mid-air.

Among the crowd, there was a figure who looked extremely similar to Rika; it was none other than the girl's mother!

"Damn it, this has happened again!"

Rika gritted her teeth, suppressing her panic at the sight of the demon. She then looked at the longbow in its hand, which was now broken in two. One half was held in her hand, while the other half had fallen to the ground. The faint glow on its surface seemed to symbolize the lost power of holy light.

Tonight was just a routine festival held at the shrine. It was an event where local residents spontaneously came to the shrine to pray to the gods for good weather and a bountiful harvest in the coming year through the "power" of Rika and her mother, two shrine maidens.
