My fiancée Yukino

"Mi Yu understands. Then, brother, please be careful and stay safe."

"Ok, I will."

After comforting Mi Yu, Luo Bai told her and Xiao Li Mao to go out and rest first, and that they could eat soon.

At 6:30 p.m., after having dinner and resting for a while, Luo Bai and Kocho Shinobu prepared to set off.

Luo Bai was still in his casual clothes, while Shinobu Kocho had changed into her team uniform and had taken out her Nichirin Blade after a long time, as if she had returned to her past self as the Insect Pillar.

Opening the door, Luo Bai looked at everyone and said, "I don't know how long we'll be busy today. If it gets late, let's rest first."

Yang Nai smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's the weekend today. Everyone didn't do much during the day, so we can stay up a bit tonight. Besides, we're planning to make some late-night snacks for you to eat when you get back."

Mi Yu clenched her little fist and said, "I'm going to make some delicious food for my brother to eat when he comes back!"

Luo Bai happily patted Mi Yu's head: "Okay, then I'll try to come back early so we can all have a late-night snack together."

Get in the car and head to the team's base in Chiba City.

While driving, Luo Bai and Kocho Shinobu were the first to notice something amiss.

Looking out at the night sky through the car window, Shinobu Kocho said softly, "Loki-kun, it can't be my imagination, can it? I feel like the surrounding environment is a bit oppressive."

Luo Bai nodded affirmatively: "That's right, I felt it too. It seems that the enemy is indeed still in Chiba City and hasn't run away to other places. Ren, if the battle starts later, you have to be careful too. Have you prepared poison and other things?"

"Don't worry." Shinobu Kocho confidently displayed her Nichirin Blade. "Although my main work now is in the medical field, my combat skills haven't declined at all. By the way, Mr. Raku, have you contacted Ms. Lucoa?"

"I tried contacting her, but Lucoa isn't in this world right now. I don't know where she's gone, and I couldn't get through on the phone. I only found out after asking Thor. Lady Quetzalcoatl has far more to do than us mortals. Don't worry, one Pillar Man isn't worth troubling her with. If all else fails, don't forget about Thor, Kanna, Elma, and Fafnir. The four dragons, except for Thor, are at their strongest. They could easily annihilate the Pillar Man without leaving a trace."

Luo Bai wasn't exaggerating. Among the dragons in this world, apart from Lucoa who is not to be trifled with, even Kanna could easily defeat a Pillar Man if she got serious.

The Pillar Men, no matter what, can only be classified as special life forms, and are worlds apart from dragons like Thor and others who are legendary figures.

However, Thor and his companions are considered the ultimate weapon, so it's best not to call on them if possible. Humans can solve the current problems on their own. It's not like that sudden arrival of the Stage 5, which was so huge and posed a risk of contamination. That's why we asked Thor and Elma for help.

Soon, the car arrived at the base, where the Uzui Tengen family, Kanroji Mitsuri, Tendo Kisara, and Kirishima Touka were all present.

After Luo Bai and Shinobu arrived, and the main command personnel were all present, Uzui Tengen immediately opened the map and said, "Now, let's proceed with the mission assignments. Luo Bai, you'll act alone. Your main task is to intercept the Pillar Man as soon as the search team finds him. Before that, it's best not to reveal too much of your strength, otherwise I'm worried the Pillar Man might escape. As for the others, Shinobu and Mitsuri will be in one group, Touka and Kisaragi in another, and Hinatsuru and the other two in a group. I'll also be leading a few personnel on my own. Remember to maintain communication and exchange intelligence at all times."

Luo Bai nodded: "Where is Mr. Zhen Tu?"

"Sir is preparing to set up a large-scale protective magic array and shielding magic to prevent the general public from noticing the commotion of the battle, so he cannot come to participate in the operation for the time being."

Speaking of this, Tengen Uzui is also quite troubled.

"He's the only one on our side with magic at this level. If it weren't for Luo Bai, we would really be missing a top-tier fighter. Oh, no, I mean Elma too, but she's not someone we can just use casually; she's one of our trump cards. If we only had one Pillar Man, we wouldn't need to call her."

"Okay, no problem. Let's get going without delay and set off."

After leaving the base, Luo Bai looked at Tendo Kisara and asked, "Have Satomi and Enju already set off?"

Kisara Tendo nodded and said, "I was originally part of the search team, but I was temporarily transferred here to work with Touka."

Luo Bai understood, then gently pinched Shinobu's cheek, gave her a word of advice, and left.

Although he didn't need to search for it himself, Luo Bai felt he could still give it a try.

Finding a quiet rooftop, Luo Bai sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

"My precognitive superpowers have been dormant for a long time. I wonder if they can be activated this time."

Volume 1: Chapter 512 The Pillar Man, Santana! (2/2)

Taking a deep breath and calming himself, Luo Bai began to try to unleash his long-dormant precognitive abilities.

After calming down for two minutes, a scene suddenly flashed through Luo Bai's mind as he closed his eyes.

A tall, muscular man with orange-red hair is holding a struggling vampire in his hand and slowly absorbing and devouring it.

After completing these tasks, the other party left the room and went out onto the street.

"This place...I know where it is!"

Upon opening his eyes, Luo Bai immediately looked around and then flew in the direction he had foreseen, while also informing the others of the news.

Upon receiving the message, Yuzui Tengen immediately mobilized his action team, prepared all the high-powered ultraviolet irradiation devices, and waited for the outcome of Luo Bai's battle.

Meanwhile, the other search teams and combat members continued their previous operations, searching for other vampires scattered throughout the city.

As Luo Bai headed to his destination, battles broke out in other places as well. The team members found the vampires who could no longer restrain themselves after nightfall and began to act.

Since they were all low-level vampires, the team members had no problem fighting them. After temporarily incapacitating their opponents, they took out their respective ultraviolet decorations and irradiated them, killing them instantly.

There's practically no value in studying vampires transformed from stone masks.

Two minutes later, Luo Bai arrived at the apartment building he had foreseen.

Because it's a premonition, the event hasn't happened yet.

But after waiting for two minutes, he saw the Pillar Man walking slowly towards him on the road outside the apartment.

Narrowing his eyes, Luo Bai said softly, "Santana, it seems you're lucky; you're the lowest-ranking Pillar Man in this class. If it were Esidisi, Wamuu, or even Kaz, it wouldn't be so easy to deal with."

Although he didn't know how this Santana came to this world, or whether it had clashed with the young Joestar, these were not things Luo Bai needed to consider.

What he needs to do now is subdue this guy and prevent any casualties.

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Bai drew his Nichirin Blade, descended from the rooftop, and flew towards the Santana.

As for the cognitive impairment here, it had already been spread across various areas when the operation began. By now, the entire Chiba City was shrouded in a high level of cognitive impairment, allowing for free movement.

On the ground, Santana, who was searching for his target, also immediately sensed the danger and looked up at the knife-wielding man flying towards him.

"...Human?"

He instinctively jumped back, and a fiery slash landed on the ground where he had just been standing, creating a large crater.

After frowning and observing Luo Bai for a while, Santana said, "Human? Who are you? You're not an ordinary human. Where is this place?"

Standing up straight, Luo Bai looked at Santana, who had already learned Japanese, and said thoughtfully, "It seems you haven't grasped the whole picture yet. But it doesn't matter. I don't need to tell you. My only goal is to eliminate you here."

After saying that, he raised his left hand and unleashed a wave of air that sent Santana flying. Then, his entire body turned into flames, and he chased after Santana, knife in hand.

"Breath of the Sun, Dance of Flames!"

Luo Bai didn't bother to test his opponent's strength; he went straight for the ultimate move.

A flurry of flames erupted, relentlessly attacking the Santana.

After being knocked away, Santana rolled over on the ground, and bones rapidly grew from its ribs, turning into sharp spikes that pierced towards Luo Bai.

Rib Sword, a move I've seen in the anime, but it's useless against me!

Luo Bai continued his movements without stopping, completely disregarding whether the opponent would hit him, and continued to swing his Nichirin Blade rapidly.

"Crack!"

With a flash of light, Santana's rib sword was instantly severed, turning into broken bones that fell to the ground.

As for the rib sword that pierced his arm, Luo Bai, who had already become an elemental being, didn't care about such an attack at all; 99% of physical attacks were ineffective against him.

Luo Bai even used this step to spread the flames to Santana's body, directly setting his abdomen on fire.

"kindness?"

Upon discovering that the flames were different, Santana did not hesitate. He immediately swung his hand and cut off all the burning muscles in his abdomen, then distanced himself again and began to think about how to deal with Luo Bai.

Luo Bai stopped pursuing them at this moment. Looking at the muscle tissue that had burned to ashes on the ground, he stepped on the broken bones and set them on fire.

"It seems your Pillar Man body can't withstand my flames either. Thank you for giving me a new understanding of my own strength. Now it seems I don't need anyone else to use ultraviolet devices on you; I can destroy you myself."

Taking a deep breath, the flames on Luo Bai's body became even more intense and intense, and their color gradually changed from orange-red to white.

As for the Nichirin Blade, it had already been put away by Luo Bai, who used flames to re-condense it into a white, crystalline flame blade.

With a step forward with his right foot, a flame spread forward in the next second, and in the blink of an eye, Luo Bai appeared in front of Santana.

"Goodbye, Pillar Man, Santana."

With a swift movement, the blade sliced ​​down Santana's left shoulder, engulfing it in white flames that shot straight into the sky.

Yuzui Tengen, who was leading his team this way, also saw the flames shooting straight into the sky. He scratched his head and said, "This kid is really making a big fuss. And it seems like we won't need to do anything."

But just in case, he still led his team and rushed over.

Two minutes later, Yuzui Tengen arrived with his team and saw Luo Bai buy a can of hot coffee from a vending machine on the roadside, unharmed, and take a sip.

Seeing that Yuzui Tengen had arrived with his men, Luo Bai greeted him with a smile.

"It's done. Santana has stopped screaming now, so she must have lost consciousness. But her body hasn't completely disappeared yet. Just to be on the safe side, I think we should keep burning her for another two minutes."

Uzui Tengen wiped the sweat from his forehead, which had accumulated from being so close, and asked curiously, "About how hot is your flame? How come the Pillar Men couldn't withstand it?"

Luo Bai nodded and said, "I only found out after fighting the opponent. After confirming that the opponent couldn't resist, I immediately used my ultimate move. As for the temperature, I estimate it's close to eight or nine thousand, but not quite ten thousand. However, even so, I can't control it perfectly, otherwise you definitely wouldn't feel the heat."

Luo Bai's words made the team members carrying equipment behind him swallow hard.

This was the first time they had witnessed the capabilities of Luo Bai, their special advisor.

Volume 1: Chapter 513 Operation Ends (1/2)

Two minutes later, the flames dissipated, leaving behind only a thin shell.

Before anyone could get close, the body turned to dust and drifted into the sky.

Uzui Tengen asked thoughtfully, "Won't there be any problems?"

Luo Bai shook his head: "Don't worry, there are no cells left to survive. It burned for more than two minutes, and I've been observing it the whole time."

"That's good."

With the Pillar Man dealt with by Luo Bai, Uzui Tengen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him, saying, "Then let's go support the other team members and take care of all those vampires."

Luo Bai had no problem with it and flew straight into the sky, heading towards the location of Kocho Shinobu and the others.

Over the next hour, battles of varying sizes broke out throughout Chiba City. In some places, there were only one or two vampires, while in others, more than a dozen had gathered.

The stone mask that Santana used to turn humans into vampires was also found in one of these vampire strongholds.

Holding the stone mask in his hand, Luo Bai immediately sensed the eerie aura emanating from it, as if it were tempting him to put it on his face.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Bai unleashed a blazing flame on his hand, burning the Stone Demon Mask to ashes.

The Stone Mask, as True Earth Calamity also said, is to be destroyed immediately upon discovery, precisely to prevent anyone from succumbing to temptation and wearing it, thus turning themselves into vampires.

There are many things that can be studied, but you should absolutely not study things that make people lose their humanity.

With the Stone Mask destroyed and the vampires wiped out, the team members carefully re-checked the area before confirming that tonight's operation had successfully concluded.

Looking at Kisara Tendo and Touka Kirishima standing next to Shinobu Kocho, Luo Bai took out his phone and said, "The mission is over. Are you free now? Want to come to my place for a late-night snack? It's earlier than I expected, so they probably haven't even started making the snacks yet."

Upon hearing this, Kirishima Touka couldn't help but touch her stomach.

"Hmm, I'm a little hungry."

The same goes for Kisara Tendo. They had expended a lot of energy in the previous battles. Although these vampires were not very strong in combat, they were quite strong in defense and had a very tenacious vitality.

As for Kanroji Mitsuri, she immediately returned to the base after the battle to find her boyfriend, Iguro Obanai, so Luo Bai did not invite her.

The aftermath was handled by a specialized department, so Luo Bai and his group didn't need to do it. After telling Yu Zui Tianyuan, they drove back.

After learning that the mission was completed, the family quickly prepared some snacks. As for a late-night snack, they could make it later since there was still plenty of time.

When we got home, all the little girls in the family immediately ran over to us, including Mi Yu.

Xia Shi and Tina each held one of Luo Bai's hands, while Mi Yu threw herself into Luo Bai's arms.

Gently rubbing against the rice bath, Luo Bai said with a smile, "I've said too much, there won't be any problems, I haven't been talking nonsense, have I? Okay, let us in first, and then I'll tell you slowly."

Once inside, Yukino poured hot tea for everyone.

"Thank you."

After thanking him and taking a sip from his cup, Tendo Kisara leaned back comfortably on the sofa and said, "Honestly, today's mission was the most intense one I've had in the past two months."

In the past two months, apart from today's mission, the most difficult mission that Tendo Kizo has undertaken was capturing a few illegal Western magical creatures, including werewolves and bear-men, the kind that can shapeshift, but their combat power is only so-so, they are just strong.

With their numerical advantage, the team managed to capture the suspect without serious incident.

Today's mission is different. Those vampires, relying on their recent transformation, are acting recklessly and their fighting style is quite suicidal.

If it weren't for his considerable strength, Tendo Kisei estimated that he might have gotten injured.
