In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

"What's that? Look, everyone—"

A reporter suddenly spoke up to remind everyone, and everyone instinctively looked over. Above the black fog, a helicopter was slowly approaching, and the logo on it clearly belonged to the most famous media outlet in the country, Tokyo Shimbun!

To their surprise, even though the military had already blocked them, some media still tried to get close. Before they could even react, a black mist surged, and a long, giant arm suddenly emerged from within, grabbing the helicopter!

Click!

Sparks flew as the several-ton machine was destroyed by the arm. The reporter and pilot on top didn't even have time to cry for help before they were completely wiped out!

Witnessing this scene, the mysterious high-ranking military officer clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the table: "Damn it, we clearly warned them to stay away from that area, why are there still people willing to risk their lives? How stupid!"

In front of his area, a near-vacuum zone was isolated, and beyond that, lay rows of fallen soldiers.

Their faces were filled with terror, as if they had seen something bizarre before they died. Blood was gathering along the marks on the ground and concentrating into the black mist. This terrifying scene made the high-ranking military officer's heart pound again!

In fact, similar incidents have occurred in this country more than once, but each time they have been unable to trace the source of the incident.

Reports of the lives lost and facilities damaged are being kept under wraps in classified departments. Furthermore, the extent of the harm and impact is spreading over time!

Until now—this terrifying black fog had almost completely enveloped the entire Shibuya area, something that had never been seen before!

"Damn it, why hasn't anyone been sent yet? If we let the black fog continue to spread, this country will absolutely..."

The commander cursed under his breath again, recalling the two figures he had seen through his binoculars not long ago. A heavy mood immediately settled over him, and he couldn't help but wonder if, as humans, we could really defeat such mysterious beings.

……

Beneath the black fog—

The power of holy light is erupting in this area, a holy aura is surging, and light and darkness are colliding with each other. As the camera pans, two figures enveloped in holy light are revealed!

"Holy Light!"

Sayuri activated her holy light state, and crimson wings emerged from behind her, with sparkling droplets falling from the sky, making the scene quite beautiful.

The armor brought immense power to her body. Sayuri took a deep breath, and the cross-shaped stigma in her eyes shone brightly. The next moment, she slashed down with the greatsword!

"Excalibur!"

Just now, Sayuri already knew that the two Illuminati enemies in front of her were much stronger than before, and were several levels above the previous enemies!

Therefore, after realizing the difficulty of dealing with the opponent, she immediately launched her ultimate move, attempting to kill both of them in the shortest possible time!

boom!

The terrifying power of holy light was fully formed from the greatsword, and then, with the force of a thunderbolt, it left a tearing mark in the void along its path. Even the black mist above was torn apart by the girl's move.

A girl being held tightly in her mother's arms murmured unconsciously upon seeing this scene, "Is Sayuri-neechan really that strong?"

"Oh my, oh my, such an attack is truly frightening! So, aren't you going to make a move?"

On the other side, King spoke with a hint of surprise, looking at the terrifying slash, but his face did not show any fear. Instead, he looked at the gray-robed man next to him, a hint of eagerness appearing in his eyes.

Just after King finished speaking, the man in black robes finally moved. He took a step forward, and his gray robe, rustling loudly, was lifted by Sayuri's slash, revealing the face of a seemingly ordinary middle-aged European man.

The moment Xia Mu saw his face, he finally remembered that this guy was someone with a rank close to that of [King]—a demon tamer codenamed [Lich], also known as [Lich]!

"It was Him?!"

Natsuki sensed something was wrong and quickly reminded Sayuri, "Pull it back quickly!"

However, Sayuri in front of her didn't seem to hear clearly. She simply poured out almost all of the holy light power in her body until the enemy called the "Lich" raised his palm and uttered some inexplicable and obscure incantation.

"ジカコゲェゥコゲオコオィ..."

As it chanted the incantation, a shadow rose up behind it in a strange manner, making various strange hand gestures like a human. Suddenly, a bluish-brown energy sphere appeared above the Lich's head!

At this moment, the greatsword's attack finally arrived. As soon as it touched the energy sphere, it made a "snap" sound and then mysteriously disappeared!

"What?!?!"

Sayuri's eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't believe that her attack would disappear in this way. Just as she was wondering what was going on, the [Lich] made a new move.

"...What immense energy! If I hadn't further refined it, I probably wouldn't have been able to successfully convert it! Let me see what kind of servants this power you've given me can summon!"

As the Lich spoke, the shadow behind him grabbed the energy sphere and pressed it directly onto himself!

boom!

In an instant, the dense aura of holy light reappeared, but in the blink of an eye, the holy light was swallowed by darkness, forming a huge door with ripples flowing inside, as if hiding magical energy. Just one glance at it was as if one was swallowed by the ripples and could not easily escape!

"This is troublesome!"

Natsuki's expression turned serious, and Sayuri asked in a flustered manner, "Natsuki-sensei, what exactly is this guy planning to do?"

Recalling the legend of the Lich, Xia Mu sighed, and then said:

"His ability is to summon ancient ghosts to this world through sacrifice. The ghosts' power comes from the method of sacrifice. What I didn't expect was that this guy could even sacrifice holy light!"

Sayuri exclaimed in surprise again: "What?! A sacrifice of holy light?!?"

……

Chapter 166 "Female Body Hell"

Sayuri then realized the enormous hornet's nest she had just stirred up, but she still forced herself to say:

"No problem, as long as you have a sense of justice, Sayuri can definitely handle ancient ghosts—"

Before she could finish speaking, a hand engraved with patterns suddenly appeared above the door. It gently rested on the edge of the door, its surface rippling, and the ghost inside finally appeared before everyone's eyes.

Its appearance resembles that of a medieval European knight, clad in sturdy armor with mysterious patterns on its surface that subtly gleam as it moves, until it finally breaks free from the door, at which point a powerful aura bursts forth!

boom!

"That's right, that's the feeling! To be able to summon such a rare ghost, your power is truly amazing, hahaha!"

The Lich laughed loudly, then appeared behind the knight and slapped him down with his arm: "Summon the gods and demons, merge!"

Click!

Dark blue lightning suddenly struck, accompanied by a terrifying rhythm that erupted between the two. The knight and the [Lich] merged strangely. When the light dissipated, a loud explosion suddenly came from within!

"We cannot let success happen!"

Natsuki sensed something was wrong immediately and rushed in front of Kato Yuri and Nanako, slashing down with his blades simultaneously: "Cross-shaped Evil-Slaying Slash!"

Sayuri also realized what was happening, and with a flick of her hair, a dense power of holy light once again gathered on the greatsword: "Go!"

The two forces merged together, instantly unleashing unimaginable power, and then slashed down at the two forces that were merging!

Unexpectedly, a sound of metal clashing suddenly came from ahead—clang!

As the black light dissipated, a figure, several times larger than before, slowly emerged from it.

His appearance was somewhat similar to the knight from before, but his surface was covered with veins that seemed to contain a powerful life force, and his head had become a skull wearing a helmet. The flames that danced in his eyes seemed to be able to freeze the human soul!

clap clap clap!

At this moment, King, who had been "hiding" behind him, clapped his hands: "Relying on the power just now, this guy's soul power has actually reached the peak of the dangerous species. He's really amazing!"

This is the power of the Illuminati's ability called "Summoning Gods and Demons." Although the Lich can summon powerful ancient demons with the help of holy light, the upper limit of its power is limited to just reaching the level of a dangerous species due to the current world.

However, after casting "Summoning Gods and Demons", the Lich forcibly raised the power of the fused two to the limit of the dangerous species. The violent and irresistible aura is the most powerful proof!

"...In that case, as your senior, I can't just let you steal the spotlight. Let's host the grandest banquet yet!"

[King] raised his arm, and the ghostly figure in the shadow behind him suddenly swelled up, growing several times its original size. The surrounding pedestrians swarmed around him, and when they finally completely surrounded him, a deep, demonic voice came from the crowd: "Summon the gods and demons, merge!"

Rumble!

Thunder roared down again, and in the flash of lightning, human bodies continued to merge and intertwine. They opened their mouths wide, as if to express unspeakable pain. Xia Mu even saw a familiar face!

"That's—Mr. Peter? What's he doing here?!"

Xia Mu didn't have time to think about why the other person always appeared whenever he experienced such a major event.

Concerned for his friend, he instinctively rushed towards the other's location, but unexpectedly, the knight controlled by the [Lich] acted first. With just a light step on the ground, a barrier of rocks blocked Xia Mu's path!

He snorted coldly, clenched his fist, and condensed the power of holy light into the shape of a ball of light. The moment it touched the barrier, it completely destroyed it. However, he did not notice that a fist covered in armor was emerging from the dust of the broken barrier and then slammed heavily into his chest!

boom!

The powerful impact sent Xia Mu flying at an alarming speed. Sayuri rushed forward in surprise, only to find the man tumbling several times in mid-air before landing lightly on the ground. He rubbed his chest and grimaced, "Ouch, I almost thought I was going to die!"

"Teacher Xia Mu! Are you alright?"

Sayuri immediately went over to check and found that Natsuki only had some dust on his shirt and a few buttons missing, revealing his muscular physique. Other than that, there was nothing else unusual!

The girl then realized that even without activating the Holy Light state like herself, a man's physique was still terrifying. The impact just now would have been enough to destroy a human body, but Xia Mu's shirt had only slightly opened—it was truly outrageous!

But then again, Natsuki-sensei's figure is truly captivating; if I could just touch it, I'd be content for life!

Looking at the muscles under her shirt, Sayuri's expression turned strange, but fortunately, Natsuki's words brought the girl back to her senses.

"Did the second one successfully combine?"

In their eyes, the figure behind them, surrounded by a wall of people, had completely changed.

Human bodies pieced together to form its body parts, and countless arms kept exploring forward, as if still possessing consciousness. The layers of bodies eventually evolved into a creature comparable to a hodgepodge.

If I had to describe it, perhaps only the final boss in a certain infinite movie from the old world in Xia Mu's memory, in a stage called "Female Body Hell", could be close to it?

"To think he'd become like this... what a disgusting fellow!"

Sayuri glanced at him with disdain, but Natsuki's expression was grave, for he had thought of something terrible—

Since the human body was absorbed by this guy and fused into this form, can his and Sayuri's holy light power still be effective?

boom!

[King] finally took a step, and human bodies swayed along with his movements. If this were seen by some so-called ancient god organization, they might be given some inexplicable code name.

The lich, covered in armor, also came to His side, its fists clenched so tightly that they made cracking sounds. Despite the vast difference in size between the two, the auras they exuded were both terrifying and powerful!

The two Illuminati members finally succeeded in merging, and their unparalleled aura pressed directly towards Natsuki and Sayuri!

Arrows formed of holy light streaked across the void, leaving behind trails that looked as if they had been torn apart.
