In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

"However, if you think you can leave in our sight, don't underestimate the Illuminati. Come down here, you two young ladies!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow behind him began to shake violently, and then a humanoid ghost made of sand emerged from the shadow and slammed its palm down on the ground!

boom!

The powerful force caused the palm to sink directly into the ground, followed by a series of rattling sounds coming from below.

Long cracks, like a spider web, stretched from beneath His feet all the way to the bottom of White Island, where they suddenly transformed into a giant spike of sand that pierced towards both of them!

"Shiroshima-kun! Watch out! That guy's attack is coming!"

Rei Miyamoto quickly reminded him, but saw that Shirashima's expression was calm and he didn't seem afraid at all: "It's okay!"

Before she could understand the captain's words, a beam of light formed from an arrow shot down from below, striking the giant spike beneath them. The powerful force instantly transformed the spike back into sand, which then fell back to the ground.

Splash! Splash!

The attack failed, and the sand returned to the ghost's arm behind him. The old man's face showed surprise again, especially when he looked at the girl opposite him, who was pointing an arrow at him. The sharp and fierce aura seemed to be telling him that if he made any rash moves, the arrow would surely come!

"Wow, wow, I never expected that such an amazing human woman would exist in this impoverished country. Interesting, very interesting..."

He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, making a strange sound. In particular, the way he stared at the girl was full of aggression, as if he had already regarded her as his prey!

"You can keep those two human women who escaped. I'll deal with this guy first, then I'll come and meet up with you!"

Upon hearing the old man's words, the gray-robed figure behind him nodded slightly, and in a flash, he had already arrived behind Rika!

when?!!!

Rika's pupils trembled with the cross-shaped stigmata, and her expression showed considerable surprise.

Before meeting Natsuki, Rika, who loved archery, had already achieved an exceptional level of eyesight. Especially after activating her Holy Light state, her eyesight underwent a qualitative leap. She could easily observe and aim at even a fly a kilometer away, a level that was unimaginable to ordinary people!

However, even with such keen eyesight, it was impossible to catch the other person's figure just now. In the blink of an eye, it was as if the other person had always been there. It was terrifying to think about!

"With me here, you won't succeed!"

Rika immediately activated the power of holy light, and the rich aura of holy light condensed once again into a sharp arrow, which then shot straight towards the gray-robed figure in front of her!

It's sizzling!

The arrow pierced through the air with a sharp sound, and just as it was about to touch the gray robe, something unexpected happened to Rika—

Her arrow stopped in place in a strange way, and an unusually pale finger rose up and touched the arrow.

With a "whoosh," the arrow shattered, and the gray-robed figure merely snorted coldly. After giving Rika a deep look, he moved again, disappearing from the girl's sight in just a few breaths.

"hateful!"

Rika was about to give chase, but as soon as she took a step, she felt as heavy as a thousand pounds beneath her. Looking down, she realized that the sand had formed a hand that was firmly gripping her calf. In the short time she was stunned, it felt as if she had sunk into the water and was about to be swallowed up by her whole body!

"This ability..."

Rika recalled that among the Illuminati members that Natsuki had mentioned, there was one whose ability was remarkably similar to that of the old man before her. She uttered a word: "Quicksand!"

【Quicksand】, codenamed Q, also refers to 【Quicksand】, the ghost he rides is called Sandbound Vengeful Spirit, which can control sand, similar to a character in a certain anime.

The only difference is that once they come into contact with the other's sand, their life force will be absorbed. The larger the contact area, the less likely they are to survive!

The main area of ​​activity for the [Quicksand] is the barren desert region. With their strange abilities, they absorb the life of humans who have lived in the desert for a long time, as well as travelers who happen to pass by. They are also quite troublesome demon tamers in the Illuminati organization!

Rika could sense that beneath the sand, some strange force was clinging to her skin, trying to drain her life force in some way.

However, due to the effect of the holy light, the absorption efficiency was greatly slowed down, but the suction force was too strong, and with his current physique, he was unable to break free in a short time!

"Oh? It seems my reputation is quite high among young people, hahaha..."

[Quicksand] let out a maniacal laugh, and the ghost behind him shook along with his laughter, as if it were doing the same thing, creating a very eerie sense of déjà vu.

As a result, His laughter did not last long before He suddenly turned His neck, making a "crackling" sound, and then slowly walked towards the girl.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Grains of sand fell as the [Quicksand] moved, and when they reached the girl, a carefree smile appeared on its lips.

"Alright, let's quickly end this farce! Summon the gods and demons—merge!"

Rumble!

……

Chapter 164 Manipulating "Death"

Rumble!

A violent thunderclap came from afar. Shiroshima glanced back, a hint of seriousness flashing across his face, but thinking of the girl in his arms, he gritted his teeth and quickened his pace slightly.

In White Island's perception, the two Illuminati members who suddenly appeared, even without engaging in the [God-Demon Fusion] state, already possessed a soul power intensity that clearly surpassed that of the enemies they had encountered before!

But precisely because of this, she had to get Miyamoto Rei to a safe place, at least outside the black fog, before she could return to provide support with peace of mind.

After all, judging from their attitude towards the holder of the [Holy Relic], the Illuminati seems to have some plans in place. Once the holder of the [Holy Relic] falls into the hands of the Illuminati, some unpredictable things may happen!

Thinking of this, Shiroshima quickened his pace. Rei Miyamoto, sensing the sudden tension, couldn't help but ask:

"Captain Shirashima, could you tell me? Who exactly are those guys? Why are they chasing me?"

Like other holders of the [Sacred Relic], Miyamoto Rei had awakened a vague sense of connection with the [Sacred Relic], but ultimately she did not follow Natsuki from the beginning and grow step by step like Shiroshima and the others.

In particular, facing such a terrifying enemy all of a sudden is still too advanced for a girl of this age.

"I'll take you away from here first, and when the time is right, I'll tell you everything in detail..."

As Shiroshima spoke with his head down, his gaze suddenly caught sight of the continuous black mist surrounding him!

Normally, when the Illuminati's enemies release black mist, they only limit it to a certain area. However, given my speed, I should have already left the black mist long ago, so why...?

The thought had just crossed her mind when she suddenly felt a sense of danger coming from somewhere ahead. Shiroshima instinctively controlled her wings and took flight!

Whoosh!

The next second, a hand appeared in the original spot, and then with a "thud," it touched the big tree next to it!

In just a few breaths, the tree rapidly decayed and turned to dust in an instant. This terrifying scene caused Shiro's brows to twitch violently.

This guy's abilities—

She remembered that when Xia Mu talked about the members of the Illuminati, he had told them to be very careful of a certain enemy, codenamed N, which stands for Necrosis, and who could manipulate the concept of "death" itself!

The source of the above abilities refers to giving any living or non-living thing that comes into contact with the concept of instantaneous "death," such as tissue necrosis or cessation of function. These are all meanings of "death." The demise of the tree just now allowed Shiroshima to directly associate it with "death"!

"It's actually [Necrosis]..."

Her expression turned serious, and Miyamoto Rei, who was in her arms, felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing this.

Especially the way Miyamoto Rei looked at the suddenly appearing figure, those cold, distant eyes that seemed to regard them as dead. This unprecedented feeling made her bury her head in Shiroshima's chest, as if only in this way could she alleviate some of her fear.

Hey, Captain Shiroshima's place is unexpectedly soft!

Wait, Rei Miyamoto!

What are you thinking? Shouldn't we be cheering on Captain Shiroshima at this crucial moment?

Pull yourself together, Captain Shiroshima—but I have to admit, it's so soft…

Rei Miyamoto's lips curled up completely, but Shiroshima didn't look at the girl. Her gaze had been fixed on the girl ever since [Necrosis] appeared.

The solemnity in his eyes seemed to affect even his own holy light power, causing it to tremble slightly...

At this moment, [Necstasy] finally spoke: "...You actually dodged my attack just now, that's unexpectedly agile, but—"

He suddenly raised his head, and a gust of wind swept in, directly exposing his face beneath the gray robe. His skin was abnormally pale, like that of a dead person, with dark blue veins flowing across his skin like centipedes. This startled Miyamoto Rei, who had just managed to break free from the soft embrace: "This guy... is he dead?"

"Not dead, but almost!"

Shirashima frowned as he spoke, and thinking of the other party's strange abilities, he couldn't help but hug the girl's waist tightly.

This subconscious movement caused Miyamoto Rei to press her body even closer together, and instantly a look of happiness appeared on the girl's face.

Captain Shirashima's body is so soft...

"...However, you are still too inexperienced compared to my abilities!"

[Necrosis] As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Dao could clearly feel faint cracks appearing in the void around him. Accompanied by a "crackling" sound, he emerged from the void and suddenly disappeared!

Where are we?!

Shirashima's heart pounded wildly, and his gaze couldn't help but wander around. Just as a fair hand was about to strike the girl from her shoulder, dark power surged from the armor and suddenly made contact with the hand!

Snapped!

Amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, White Island once again sped towards a certain direction. When it stopped and stared at a spot on the armor, its eyes suddenly narrowed: "It's actually..."

Just now, if it weren't for the power of the little black creature inside the armor activating on its own to block the opponent's attack, she would probably be dead already!

Thinking of the unfulfilled dreams, the comrades who fought alongside him, and the man who had given him a gentle smile, Shiroshima's expression immediately turned terrifying.

Miyamoto Rei, who was in her arms, seemed to sense the girl's anger and looked at her face with concern. It was the first time that Miyamoto Rei had seen her captain look like this!

Captain Shirashima is really angry!

Not far away, [Necstasy] slowly withdrew its hand, looking at the few black spots that had appeared on its surface. It seemed to remember something and said slowly:

"This familiar aura... it really is that guy's descendant? How strange, how can a power that should have died be passed down in this way? He was right, you are indeed worth capturing and studying!"

After saying that, a chilling smile reappeared on His lips: "Fine, since he's that guy's descendant, as his former comrade, I have to go all out! You agree, right?"

[Necrosis] A cold light flashed in his eyes, and suddenly lightning fell from above!

Boom!

"Summon the gods and demons, unite!"

……

Chapter 165 Sacrificing Holy Light?!

Shibuya.

This once prosperous area is now completely shrouded in black fog, and with the army's deliberate obstruction, almost no one can easily get close.

Even the media reporters who rushed to the scene could only watch anxiously. After all, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers at the front were not just for show. They could tell whether life or news was more important!
