Chapter 658 A Place Protected by the God of Survival

Bubbles rose from the magic pool.

Inside Koizumi Akako's villa, she was racing against time to cast a summoning spell, and the Fallen Angels from Hell slowly emerged.

As one of the most famous demon lords in modern mysticism, Lucifer stared at the witch before him.

This time He was wiser, and said.

"If you don't pay the price first."

"I won't tell you anything, you wretched witch."

Koizumi Akako: ?
She immediately reached out and used magic to record the events that had just occurred inside the magic crystal ball.

Finally, it came into Lucifer's line of sight, allowing Lucifer to see it clearly.

The next moment, Lucifer exclaimed.

"Damn it, the Dinglan Demon Sword?!"

—The Demon Sword of Calming Waves?
I heard this term.

Even Koizumi Akako, who prided herself on being a well-informed successor to the Red Magic, was filled with doubt.

She had never heard of this term before.

However, she had heard of the Demon Sword, even just in terms of its name.

That's one of the magical items.

Many magicians use magical items for a variety of purposes, but a small number of magicians or magic artisans focus on magical items that emphasize lethality.

The Demon Sword is one of the products of this.

The incredible artifacts mentioned in the myths of various countries are basically similar magical weapons, and their whereabouts are currently known to be...

For example, the demonic sword of the famous swordsman Sasaki Kojiro, Monobakugan, rests eternally with him on Ganryu Island.

Koizumi Akako believed she should have at least heard of the Demon Sword, but this particular Demon Sword was one she had never heard of.

Did this thing come from some remote place? Or is it a magic sword that wasn't even made on Earth?

Before Koizumi Akako could ask any more questions...

Lucifer, the Demon King of Hell, immediately turned pale, realizing that he had once again given Koizumi Akako information for free. Without saying a word, he returned directly to Hell.

If things don't work out of your name, I simply won't do the business with you anymore.

They treat me like a scapegoat every day, coming over to mow the lawn every few days. Who can stand that?
If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't find a medium to bring it into the real world.

I'll cut you down first.

Lucifer's figure suddenly disappeared.

Koizumi Akako felt a little regretful.

As one of the demon kings who appeared in mythology, Lucifer's legend only took shape in the early Middle Ages.

Compared to other demon lords, its history is not long enough, but for her, it is the oldest living antique she can come into contact with.

Lucifer is now refusing to offer help.

It seems there's no way to figure out what exactly this so-called Dinglan Demon Sword is for the time being.

"Bring me the spare magic crystal ball. I need to enchant it, otherwise it will affect the use of magic later."

Koizumi Akako turned her head to look at the butler beside her with some regret, but the butler nodded to indicate that there was no problem and immediately went to the storeroom.

After the butler left.

She stood on the windowsill with some apprehension, her fingers lightly tapping the windowsill railing, wondering if the magical curse might be aimed at Kaito Kuroba.

Although it may sound like overkill.

However, there is no doubt that if we were to find the person most likely to be cursed by magic in and around the Ekoda region, that would be the case.

Then it can only be Kaito Kid.

Batman is probably not in the Ekoda area.

He is busy defusing bombs throughout the city, according to what Koizumi Akako saw before the magic was interrupted.

Kaito Kid is currently using a hang glider to fight Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department officers who are using a capture net over the Tsutsumi River near the Ekoda area.

If the hang glider is even slightly off-center...

He went directly into the Ekoda region, so it's not impossible that the magic was aimed at him...

But now, even she was powerless to do anything. The magical curse had severed all possibility of communication with the outside world.

Whether it's through magic or technology.

Now we can only hope that this magical curse isn't targeting Kaito Kuroba.

------

Ekota area.

Compared to other parts of Tokyo, the Ekoda area has always had the lowest crime rate.

Not only does it have the lowest crime rate.

Moreover, there were almost no serious murders; there were only various petty thefts.

Legend has it that this place is protected by Kaito Kid, the god of survival.

As a result, the merchandise featuring Kaito Kid from Yiwu is selling very well here, and some people have even made amulets to protect their homes.

However, this tranquility was broken.

Someone planted a bomb in the Ekoda area, powerful enough to kill hundreds of people. Police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department headquarters drove over to defuse the bomb.

The police officers at various police stations in Ekoda were stunned and completely useless.

They're pretty good at dealing with petty thieves.

Asking them to defuse bombs is giving them too much credit; they simply don't have that capability. If they did, they would be working for the Criminal Investigation Department by now.

"Fortunately, we were only evacuating people."

"Compared to the bomb disposal officers in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division, our work is practically harmless. The people at headquarters are really reliable."

"I can't believe it," said a police officer from the Ekoda Local Police Station, while another officer nearby used a flag to direct nearby vehicles to move around in an orderly manner.

I heard the police officer's感慨 (feelings/reflections).

He responded as well.

"Yes, although the people at headquarters are always arrogant and infuriating."

"But we still have to rely on them in crucial moments."

"However, there is really no danger here. People in the Ekoda area have always been law-abiding and don't even speed when driving."

"I even feel that my task of clearing the traffic was completely unnecessary—"

The words have not yet fallen.

Accompanied by the roar of the engine.

The two police officers instinctively looked towards the end of the road, and at that moment a dark shadow swept past them.

The strong winds made it impossible for them to open their eyes.

Until this very moment.

They suddenly realized that a car had just driven by, and that it was speeding at an extreme speed.

"What...what kind of car is this?"

The police officer in charge of directing traffic glanced at the black car that had disappeared at the end of the intersection. He thought for a moment, then answered uncertainly.

"The Batmobile, right?"

Although Batman has appeared in the news several times and has been widely publicized on forums.

However, Batman has never appeared in the Ekoda area.

So much so that people in the Ekoda area regard Batman as a rather realistic urban legend.

Only now are they convinced that this is not a hoax.

"Let's contact the institute first."

The officer muttered to himself.

He took out his communicator, intending to contact the police station to explain the situation, but there was no response from the police station.

No signal? Are you kidding me?

He said incredulously.
