Hanekawa Tsubasa was greatly shocked upon hearing this and looked at Natsuki in disbelief.

Natsuki was also somewhat puzzled and asked, "What? Are you surprised?"

"But...I...I'm just a high school student...."

Hanekawa Tsubasa said somewhat uneasily. Although she had already been frightened by Niu Kun and Natsuki Yuno's words, she hadn't expected that besides the possibility of being bullied and violated, she would also have to participate in a battle. However, considering that the others fighting outside were also young girls, it seemed...

“Yuno is still a middle school student.”

Natsuki answered nonchalantly, leaving Hanekawa Tsubasa completely speechless. She felt even more hopeless about her future; was she destined to be both a slave to her husband and a slave to her war?!

Suddenly I feel like my life is so hard!

Yuno did not participate in the battle. Although she received the contract enhancement, she did not have the magic tool to enhance her and could not participate in the battlefield. However, she still had firearms.

By this time, Yuno had already found a suitable sniping position on a nearby floor. Although Niu Kun wanted a lively 'gun mount', mistakes are inevitable in battle.

However, Yuno's first target was still the helicopter that transported the girls. Having learned from her previous experience, Yuno skillfully aimed at the helicopter's vital points and pulled the trigger.

"Huh? My legs are back?!"

Shinato Aoko, who was dragged back by her companions, looked at her thigh with surprise and joy. Just now she thought she was going to be disabled.

Boom!!

At that moment, the hit helicopter crashed to the ground at an angle, and the explosion instantly sent up orange-red flames and thick smoke.

"What's going on? There are enemies too?!"

Gao Guifenglan turned her head and looked at the firelight that illuminated the surroundings. Her expression changed drastically. She then hurriedly notified the General Affairs Command that the situation had obviously exceeded the original plan.

"Xiaodou, you deal with the black-haired woman. Himegami, you hold off the blue-haired woman. The rest of you, work together to deal with that minotaur."

After speaking, Gao Guifenglan first drew her bow and shot at Niu Kun, while also looking around to find the hidden gunmen. Although they were all ability users with magical artifacts and their strength far exceeded that of ordinary people, it did not mean that firearms were not a threat to them.

Especially sniper rifles and heavy firepower, since they are still within the realm of mortal beings.

"Yes!"

The first to accept the order, Hongdou stomped her foot and looked at the black-haired girl who also seemed to fight using physical techniques. If she were to deal with that blue-haired, blind girl whose strength was unknown, Hongdou would be a little apprehensive, but if it was close combat, Hongdou's fighting spirit was high.

Immediately, Hongdou raised her hand and beckoned to Yang Ming, who had a stern face, with a provocative gesture. Then, the Iron Boot-shaped magical artifact, the Wild Eagle, activated instantly. In the blink of an eye...

He then crossed space and kicked towards Yang Ming.

On the other side, the other girls were not to be outdone. A magic circle appeared around Himegami Korei, and then a beautiful black-haired elf flew out and attacked Minerva.

"Oh dear! With Celia and Midia gone, am I going to have to join the melee too?"

With her eyes closed, Mineva muttered something and then disappeared from Himegami Kodama's sight, causing the black-haired elf's attack to miss.

"Disappeared?!"

Himegami Korei cautiously looked around, as if the other party might jump out and attack her at any moment.

Amaya Haruka took the lead in the attack, slashing down at Niu Kun with her unsheathed demon sword, Murakumo, while Kinuya Karette and Kushihachi Inaho provided support from the flanks.

Niu Kun swung his shield to block Chun Lian's slash, dodged Kalet's wind blade, blocked Dao Sui's demonic fist Kamdo with his axe, and then withstood Dao Sui's kick before his body suddenly burst into a blazing flame.

The three women cried out in alarm and quickly retreated to avoid the flames, but the fiery aura still ignited their clothes. Fortunately, it was short-lived, and they managed to extinguish the flames in time.

However, Niu Kun did not stop. He first summoned two Kashi Demons with [Summon Demon], which roared and attacked Daosui and Kalet respectively. At the same time, Niu Kun launched a berserk attack, launching a relentless and oppressive assault on Tian Gu Chunlian.

Gunshots rang out, and the noble Fenglan tilted her head first. The bullet grazed Fenglan's earlobe, leaving a trace of crimson, but there was no panic in Fenglan's eyes.

"found it."

Immediately, Fenglan changed direction and suddenly drew back the bowstring towards the target. A beam of light shot out instantly. On the other side, after pulling the trigger, Yuna realized that her shot was going to miss. She knew something was wrong and without hesitation, she gripped the gun handle and jumped off the balcony.

The next instant, the light arrow exploded upon reaching the balcony, scattering into countless smaller light arrows that blasted the balcony and bedroom into a complete mess.

After firing the arrow, Noble Maple did not continue to pursue Yuno. Instead, she fired another arrow at Niu Kun. The arrow of light arrived in an instant, but Niu Kun neither dodged nor avoided it. Instead, he continued to swing his axe at Amamiya Haruko.

bang~

The light arrow struck, instantly shattering the axe blade. Chunlian, who had been on the defensive, seized the opportunity. The chains that had been binding Murakumo in her hand broke open automatically, bursting forth with light. The blade, composed of photons, easily cleaved the heavy shield in Niu Kun's hand in two, even leaving a deep bloodstain on Niu Kun's chest and abdomen.

A thick, pungent smell of blood wafted out, as Niu Kun had been disemboweled by the incredibly sharp Congyun Sword. However, Chun Lian, who looked unwell, was careless and thought that Niu Kun had lost his fighting ability as a result.

Ignoring the wounds on her chest and abdomen, Niu Kun continued to smash the axe handle, now devoid of blade, down on her head. Even though Chun Lian sensed the danger and tried to dodge, she was still struck so hard that she was dizzy and nearly fell over.

Fortunately, at this moment, Inaho and Carette had already eliminated the Kashi Demons summoned by Niu Kun and attacked Niu Kun from the left and right, but were knocked down by Niu Kun, whose eyes were bloodshot.

"I...I can't fall!"

The blood seeping from her forehead made Chunlian's right eye blurry, and her mind was buzzing, making it impossible for her to stay conscious. But reason still urged her to slash at Niu Kun again.

Although Chunlian is not actually a brave and warlike girl, her determination to protect her companions sparked an extremely fierce fighting spirit. Despite being dizzy, she swung her sword upwards at Niu Kun, and a dazzling sword light bloomed.

As the blinding blade of light slashed past, Niu Kun, instinctively sensing a death-defying threat, quickly leaned back and retreated. However, he still saw a fountain of blood, mixed with fragments of broken organs, gushing from his torso, even staining Chun Lian, who was wielding the sword in front of him, with blood.

'Damn, I was careless!'

Niu Kun's eyes widened, a sense of foreboding creeping into his mind. He then fell backward as if his torso had snapped. The next instant, Mineva, with a serious expression, appeared out of thin air, grabbed the heavily injured Niu Kun, and vanished just as quickly.

"Did we...we won?"

Inaho asked in disbelief, and Carette next to her breathed a sigh of relief, but Himegami Koremi, who had rushed over, asked in surprise, "Where's Anko-kun?"

"what?!"

"what?!"

"Adzuki Bean?!"

(The upper limit of the magic tool's power has been weakened. The manga's description of the power was too outrageous. If Haruka were to actually use it, she could cleave the protagonist into dust with a single sword strike.)

Chapter 125 Exorcism

"Ha, how pathetic. They're still alive?"

With Niu Kun seriously injured, everyone else naturally retreated in an emergency. Yang Ming was the one who spoke rudely, but she still brought back a gift for Niu Kun: red beans from Zhinadu, who had been knocked unconscious.

Niu Kun rolled his eyes in anger upon hearing this, but at this moment his torso was almost split in two diagonally, so he could only wait until he recovered before giving Yang Ming a proper lesson.

"Master is indeed the Demon King! I also thought Master was going to die, and I was even planning to inherit your harem after you died."

Mineva, who had rescued Niu Kun, returned to her smiling, closed-eye appearance, though she was surprised that Niu Kun could still remain conscious despite his miserable state.

The other girls didn't have the same good attitude as Yang Ming and Minerva. When Minerva brought Niu Kun back, who was almost broken in two, Yuna almost went crazy, and Natsuki was also in a state of panic and fear as if the world was about to end.

As for Yuukawa Tsubasa, she was simply terrified. She had never seen such a bloody and cruel scene before and almost vomited. Fortunately, Niu Kun was still conscious and even had the mind to comfort them.

Because of Niu Kun's talent [Rapid Regeneration], he can reduce fatal injuries to serious ones. If his body is not completely severed or his head is not severely damaged, the effect of Rapid Regeneration can still be exerted.

Moreover, because Mineva also had some first aid skills, Niu Kun was not actually in mortal danger. Before the girls helped Niu Kun put some fragmented organs back into his ruptured abdominal cavity, regeneration began.

The writhing flesh and bones looked horrifying. Apart from Yuno, who was still staring intently at Niu Kun's wound, the other girls, including Natsuki, couldn't help but look away.

"It's alright, it just takes a little more time. Natsuki, you keep driving and try to get away from here. Oh, and bring that red bean over here."

After Niu Kun recovered somewhat, he instructed Yang Ming to move the unconscious Hongdou over and then opened the clothes around her lower abdomen.

“I have people in other factions, and this… Tianri Academy is no exception.”

Niu Kun sneered, deciding to wipe out Tianri Academy in one fell swoop and then crush it. He then gathered some magic power and placed the contract on Hongdou's lower abdomen.

The excruciating pain startled Hongdou awake, and she was then stunned to see Niu Kun's狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face.

[Contract complete! Host has acquired the twenty-ninth familiar!]

[The host's companions have experienced a significant boost in both spirit and physique, and have awakened their innate talent [Battle Body]!]

[[Battle Body]: Fight! Experience the joy of battle! The more you fight, the stronger you become. You'll gain significant boosts when learning and using melee skills and equipment.]

[The character Shinadou Hongdou has been contracted by a host, causing a slight increase in the world's erosion level.]

The RV stopped, and Hongdou, looking extremely unwell, got out. The RV then drove away, but Hongdou's mood was extremely bad. In just a short moment, her identity had completely changed.

She actually became a minion of the devil?!

Moreover, she had to obey the demon's orders, go back and infiltrate her companions to help the demon capture the others. Of course, Red Bean would rather die than do that.

Unfortunately, she can't die now, no, it's simply impossible for her. Her body and soul no longer belong to her; they belong to that demon.

Similarly, Hongdou could not refuse to carry out her demon master's orders, nor could she reveal her identity and helplessness to her companions, unless she obtained Niu Kun's permission.

"Damn it!!"

"Although I can barely sit up, the magic power consumption is still too great, and it will probably take another day or two to fully recover."

Niu Kun was somewhat dissatisfied with the recovery speed, and then his gaze fell on his soul energy, which was almost full. Niu Kun's subordinates could also kill for him to obtain soul energy, but the gains were much lower than those of Niu Kun killing personally.

However, as Niu Kun's family members continued to grow, they gradually accumulated into a large sum.

"Then, let's find more evil spirits and quickly accumulate enough soul energy."

..........

"What? Master is seriously injured?!"

Huang Quan stared in astonishment at Saeko's unusually solemn expression, a sense of worry rising in his heart. Fortunately, he learned that although Niu Kun was seriously injured, he was not in mortal danger and was recovering rapidly.

However, they would need to slay more evil spirits and monsters.

"That's no problem. Lately, Tokyo has a lot of evil spirits, though!"

Huang Quan chuckled, then swung his sword, slaying a vengeful spirit that lunged at her. Saeko also abandoned her usual composure, her gaze becoming even more bloodthirsty and cruel. Clearly, Niu Kun's serious injury had affected her state of mind.

The members of the new Black Label group, who also received the news, reacted in various ways: some were worried and uneasy, some were solemn and serious, some were gloating, and some were bewildered and helpless...

With a new black label under a new boss, it is no longer the Dark Knights organization aimed at eliminating urban tumors and upholding justice. Instead, according to Niu Kun's wishes, it has been transformed into a special organization for exorcising spirits and eliminating ghosts.

The new Black Label is commanded by Yuriko Takagi, with Yoshimi Suzue serving as secretary and liaison. They are divided into two groups: Mikoto Kiba, Oriha Nashita, and Saya Takagi remain in one group, while Tomoko Sagiri, Sayo Kaname, and Hitagi Senjougahara form the other.

Niu Kun originally planned to transfer Hisaki Chikage as well, but because the Syringe organization had suffered a lot of manpower losses, Togo Rika wanted Chikage to help out with Syringe for a while, so she remained with Syringe for the time being.

"Alright, Master is alright after all. Well then... let's speed up the exorcism process."

Saya Takagi was the first to react, suppressing her worries and anxieties, and made the suggestion.

“Alright, since the master needs us to kill evil spirits to obtain soul energy to restore our bodies, let’s split up into two groups and act separately. If needed, we can call for help.”

Then, Tomoko Sagiri spoke up, saying that as an adult, she had adjusted her mindset. Since she couldn't change reality, she could only try her best to adapt to it.

"Well... that's fine too. If we split up, we can help Master accumulate soul energy faster."

Startled from her unease, Mikoto quickly echoed, then said to Saya and Oriha, "Have command send over the target information as soon as possible."

"Ah."

On the coast under the cover of night, the sea breeze was cool and the roar of motorcycles echoed. Suddenly, a motorcycle carrying three girls came to a stop outside the beach.

"Next, we'll use the Isayama family's talisman paper to lure out the evil spirit..."

As a member of the magic lineage, Takagi Saya learned some simple spells from Isayama Mei, such as luring out hidden evil spirits and making exorcism ammunition.

In fact, firearms and ammunition themselves have a certain effect of exorcising evil spirits and suppressing evil. After all, gunpowder was originally invented by Taoist priests using the thunder and fire method, and can be described as an extremely yang and strong substance.

However, as the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. Firearms and ammunition are primarily designed for carbon-based life forms with physical bodies. They are not well-suited for dealing with mystical targets like ghosts and require some adjustments to increase their damage against spirits.

As the simple spirit-summoning ritual was completed, and as the waves surged under the night sky, one after another, the pitiful and terrifying water ghosts walked from the sea onto the beach.

"Are they all...poor souls who drowned in the sea? Then let me, Kiba Mikoto, guide you to enlightenment!"

Raising her twin pistols, Mikoto spoke with a hint of pity in her eyes.

(Spring Love: This sword strike made the protagonist more cautious and less impatient.)

Chapter 126 Adventure

Under the cover of night, Hanekawa Tsubasa walked quickly through the dimly lit streets and alleys with her head down. After winding her way through the streets, she arrived at a nearly abandoned, dilapidated building. A thin mist rose and drifted slowly, creating a silent yet eerie atmosphere.

Stopping in her tracks, Yuukawa Tsubasa felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. Although she had received a contractual enhancement, her previously uncontrollable second personality could now be communicated with and even controlled.

Having lived as an ordinary person for over a decade, even with extensive reading, she still needed time to adjust her mindset. Right now, she was being thrown out to accelerate this shift in mindset; of course, this was just a side effect.

Her main task is to act as bait. Due to the special nature of her talent, when Hanekawa Tsubasa's second personality is asleep, the demonic energy on her body will be hidden and disappear. Unless it is between witches, evil spirits and monsters will only regard her as an ordinary person who has been awakened.

What is a delicious feast in the eyes of evil spirits and monsters is too low-level for ordinary wandering souls; she must attract more dangerous evil spirits and monsters.

Thinking of this, Hanekawa Tsubasa could only smile bitterly. Although she had support, she felt her future was increasingly bleak. She had just been contracted to become a familiar, only to be kicked out as bait. What a devilish master she was.

'What...unfortunate!'
