clang!

The two vanished from their spot and reappeared above Natsuki and Sayuri. They clenched their fists, and the overwhelming pressure they exerted made the space feel strangely heavy.

A crackling sound emanated from the void surrounding them, as if they were about to shatter at any moment!

"Teacher Xia Mu!"

Kato Yuri gasped in surprise, but Nanako, who was in her arms, saw a smile on Natsuki and Sayuri's lips and couldn't help but open her mouth slightly: "Mom, Natsuki-nii, and Sayuri-neechan, they actually... smiled?"

"Ok?"

As the young woman looked on in confusion, Xia Mu had already placed his hand on the cross necklace on his chest. Facing the pressure descending from above, his expression remained unchanged, and the holy cross mark in his eyes suddenly shone brightly at that moment!

"Are you ready, Sayuri!"

"Ready, Natsuki-sensei!"

"Alright, let's beat these two guys to a pulp!"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, a mocking glint seemed to flash in the eyes of both King and Lich. But the next second, a certain man raised his head and uttered calm words: "Stigmata - Resonance!"

boom!

Suddenly, a powerful light flashed from both of them. The undeniable light caused King and Lich to instinctively close their "eyes." Unable to withstand the sudden surge of power, they were blasted away!

Boom!

The force of their instantaneous burst of power blasted the two hybrid ghosts into the air, and then they crashed heavily onto the building. The enormous impact left obvious craters on the building's surface at the moment of collision!

"it turns out……"

The Lich emerged from the pit and leaped down to land on the ground. King, also controlling a human-formed body, landed beside him and looked at the two of them with a rather human-like expression.

"Why... how can they unleash such power when they're just humans...? Hey, hey, hey... you're not kidding, are you?"

In their eyes, a white-haired, curly-haired human male and a girl with twin ponytails were slowly emerging from the pillar of light.

Compared to before, there seemed to be little change in either of them, but their bodies were both covered with a faint film of light.

In particular, a certain girl's skin seemed to become subtly smoother due to the presence of the light membrane, and even her every move carried a strange divine quality, which made both of them feel a sense of hidden danger when they saw this scene!

"Hmph! It's probably just a dying struggle. Let's both attack together and finish them off quickly!"

The Lich had just snorted and reacted when he saw the human male figure opposite him suddenly become blurry and then appear right in front of him, slowly extending his fist toward him.

"I'm telling you, even if villains are destined to die from talking too much, aren't you two being a bit too verbose?"

What?!

The face beneath the Lich's helmet revealed a rare, horrified expression as he instinctively threw a punch in response.

As a result, the oncoming force not only instantly deformed his fist, but also continued to unleash its devastating power, sending his body flying once again!

call out--

boom!

The sudden change in situation caught King off guard. Before King could react, his gaze fell on Xia Mu, and he roared, "Human!!!"

His human body surged, quickly forming two enormous fists that slammed down heavily on the man. However, the man merely turned his head, his indifferent face full of mockery.

"Ha, it seems you haven't realized yet that my real target is you!"

……

Chapter 173 Sayuri VS [Lich]

Whoosh!

The Lich once again scrambled to his feet, his armor cracking and splintering as broken stones spilled from it.

"Damn it! Not again—"

boom!

He slammed his fist into the ground with tremendous force, leaving an astonishing circular crater in an instant. The face hidden under the helmet was now contorted in a terrifying grimace!

At the beginning, He didn't really value Xia Mu and the other two too much. Even though the intelligence showed that they had killed members of the organization many times, for someone like Him who was ranked in the [K] tier, those were people He could deal with with a wave of his hand. They were dead, so what? He could take their place quickly anyway.

However, upon actually coming into contact with the other party and feeling the unparalleled impact in that instant, the Lich couldn't help but feel a surge of rage. It simply couldn't accept that it could actually feel a kind of emotion called "fear"!

“Unforgivable…those two humans…they must be killed…absolutely…”

"Hey, can you tell me? What exactly is this transformation you were talking about?"

A girl's voice suddenly came from in front of him. The Lich looked up and saw a girl with wings on her back walking slowly towards him. The light membrane on the surface emitted a faint glow, making her divinity even more obvious!

The Lich turned its neck, producing another metallic clanging sound, then reached out and grasped the void, quickly pulling out a massive heavy axe!

"Hmph! Since you're so curious, then defeat me! Only the victor has the chance to control everything!"

After saying that, He charged directly toward Sayuri. Although He was only two meters away, He ran with the momentum of a thousand troops. The sound of "bang bang bang" came from His feet and stirred up gusts of sand that kept surging toward the girl!

Seeing this, Sayuri simply sighed: "I should have known this sooner. The only effective way to eliminate all danger with these guys is to either subdue them or kill them outright!"

No one could have imagined that, without anyone noticing, Sayuri had transformed from a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) girl into a brave "warrior" who was fearless in the face of enemies.

Whether it was the calming effect of the holy light or something related to the girl's current obsession, after taking a few deep breaths, her eyes instantly became resolute!

Faced with the oncoming lich, she did the opposite and charged at him as well. The lich's expression under his helmet turned terrifying, and the next second as he raised his heavy axe, it was as if he could see the girl being killed by his own weapon.

However, the truth is that when the two were about to collide, the girl simply raised her palm and effortlessly blocked her attack!

boom!

The momentary pressure caused the ground to stir up sand and dust again. The Lich tried to pull out his heavy axe, but found that his weapon was being held tightly by the girl's fair hand, making it easier to pull out!

How is that possible?!

[Lich] roared inwardly, but the girl had already taken action. She bit her lip, planted the greatsword in the ground with her other hand, and then punched out with her fist!

boom!

An invisible impact emanated from the Lich's armored abdomen and then spread outwards, as if He had been struck by a heavy blow, causing his helmet to spew blood!

puff!

Just as the blood was about to spray onto the girl's face, she released the heavy axe, spun around, and as the heavy axe slammed into the ground, she placed her hand back on the hilt of the sword and swung it horizontally in the next instant!

Whoosh!

A crimson blade of light erupted from the girl's greatsword, and before the [Lich] could react, it was blasted into the air by the sword light.

"Why……"

He continued to utter unbelievable words, but when his gaze shifted to the other person, he saw once again the girl bending over, gathering her offensive power, her greatsword sheathed at her waist, and when she raised her head, her eyes shone with light once more!

"watch out!"

hum-

A series of incredibly powerful blade flashes continuously shot out from the girl's greatsword, striking the Lich's armor in mid-air and producing a series of metallic clanging sounds.

The Lich tried to move, but being in mid-air and subjected to Sayuri's continuous attacks, it could only passively receive the slashes until it could no longer withstand them and swung its heavy axe directly at the girl's location!

wow-

boom!

Sayuri merely tilted her head slightly to dodge the Lich's attack. The swift wind swept across the girl's face, revealing her delicate features. In her pupils, which shimmered with the cross mark, was reflected the Lich's last breath!

"Alright, that's enough warm-up. It's time to send you on your way!"

The girl's sudden words sent alarm bells ringing in the Lich's mind. The last thing he looked up was that she was raising her greatsword, and unprecedentedly violent holy light was constantly gathering on the blade!

hum-

A beam of holy light was seen continuously emanating from the girl's body.

Despite the fierce battle just now, her power seemed inexhaustible. At least in the eyes of the Lich, she appeared as a rising sun, reflected in his eyes, exuding unimaginable power!

No!

I absolutely cannot fall here!

For that guy's transformation!

I must survive!

The Lich roared incessantly in its mind, and the armor around its body seemed to sense its emotions, constantly oozing black matter.

They climbed and piled up, and in just a few breaths, they enveloped the entire body of the Lich. Then they continued to transform, eventually coalescing into a raging behemoth covered in armor!

It was enormous, more than ten times larger than the armor we had just seen. It covered almost half a block, and when it finally landed on the ground, it made a thunderous sound!

Roar! ! !

The raging behemoth let out a fierce roar, stirring up even more astonishing winds and waves, turning the surrounding streets into ruins. The sudden release of its pressure seemed to be so great that even the void itself could not withstand it, making a "creaking" sound!

However, on the opposite side, a certain girl was simply focusing on gathering her offensive power. Only when the holy light aura subsided and only a thin layer of light membrane remained on the surface of the greatsword did she reveal a breathtaking smile.

"If that's the case, it should be enough!"

Sayuri looked at the raging behemoth before her, her eyes flashing with the cross-shaped holy mark, and then she raised her greatsword and slashed straight down!

"Oath—The Sword of Victory!"

Roar! ! !

The raging behemoth roared as it charged toward the sword light, and an even more dazzling light rose the moment the two collided!

……

Chapter 174 The Cracked Sky

In the end, even though the Lich transformed into an even more terrifying and ferocious behemoth, it still failed to pose a threat to Sayuri. After a fierce clash between the two, it was completely annihilated by the holy light's strike!

hum-

The Lich's soul power transformed into a soul crystal, which slowly floated down into the girl's hand. Sparkling light emanated from the soul crystal, reflecting off the girl's fair skin.

After her panting subsided, the girl patted her chest, making a "clang clang clang" sound: "Phew, finally killed that guy!"
