I'll kill you after I finish this game!

"Shut your disgusting mouth that's making retching noises!!!"

Shana didn't want to hear that disgusting voice and mental roar from him again. She wanted to turn his next roar into an absolute wail! A painful scream!

boom! ! !

Like a judgment sword descending from the heavens, Shana's follow-up slash, taking advantage of the damage caused by Hercules, had an attack range that reached tens of millions of miles.

The demon-slaying creature's massive body, which resembled another continent, was cleaved open, and the scorching and domineering flames burned its flesh, spirit, and even its enormous soul filled with resentment and hatred.

Instantly, just as Shana had wished, the enormous roar of the demon-slaying beast turned into a scream.

"Haimura!!"

The moment her attack severely damaged the demon-slaying creature, whose size was far beyond what was expected, and Shana herself withdrew her power, she immediately called for the others to finish it off.

After being called over by her senior, Haimura Moroha helped Arashiro Satsuki and Urushihara Shizuno up. Seeing that her companions had been injured or killed by the mental shock from the Demon-Slaying Roar, a fierce killing intent flashed in her eyes.

He would not let go of such a moment of certain death and revenge against his enemies.

“Write down the words—”

Using his superhuman speed, he swiftly reached the massive wound Shana had inflicted on the demon. The crimson flames, as if possessing a spirit, made way for Moroha Haimura, who then raised her hand and began writing incantations in the air before her, chanting rapidly:

"The underworld has purgatory, and the earth has prairie fire. The flames burn equally over good and evil, chaos and all things, purifying everything with boundless compassion."

"All men, you shall die and return to the skeleton. God has abandoned mankind. The decadent world is over. Sound the horn! The time of judgment has come!"

The terrifying divine power condensed into substance, and the originally pure white divine power was compressed into pitch-black flames in Haimura Moroha's hands.

By imbuing his holy sword with this pitch-black flame and combining it with the holy sword's unique cutting ability, Haimura Moroha unleashed the move "Tai Chi Burning Heaven - Demon Subduing Divine Sword".

Under Shana's deliberate manipulation, Haimura Moroha's black flames swirled around the crimson flames.

With immense power, Haimura Moroha roared and slashed after finding the location of the demon's brain.

Outside, Shimon Marika, who had begun to recover, saw the enormous demon-slaying body expand. Her pupils contracted sharply, and she immediately understood what was happening. She looked at her younger sister, Shimon Maya, and said urgently:

"Maya!!"

"Yes!"

Maya Shimon, who was following her older sister, rubbed her throbbing and pricking head and immediately activated her unique secret technique, Dream Stone Crystal.

A series of dreamlike light membranes enveloped everyone present, including the heroic spirits, while Haimura Moroha, in conjunction with Shana's flames, unleashed a deadly attack from within the demon-slaying body, which exploded completely in the next moment.

"——————!"

The blinding flashes from the endless bursts of light overwhelmed everyone's vision. As the demon was destroyed, its final afterglow pierced through the atmosphere, piercing a warship before flying into outer space. Finally, its strength gave way, and it dissipated into the depths of the universe.

It vanished, it was annihilated; the demon-slaying entity, as massive as a continental plate, was swallowed up and destroyed.

It transformed into pure light, without even having time to let out its final roar.

As the event ended, everyone's vision seemed to have gone blind until the afterglow of the monster's explosion completely dissipated, allowing their blurred vision to finally capture the surrounding scenery.

........

Meanwhile, in the deep sea of ​​another region of the Earth, the commotion between humans and demons has already spread here.

The incredibly violent earthquake caused the entire sea to surge and boil violently.

Surrounded by several saviors, Suruga Ando, ​​whose body shimmered with divine power and was unaffected by the pressure of the deep water, turned his head to look in one direction, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.

"They were taken down so quickly? Those guys really improved their strength a lot."

Suruga Ando smacked his lips. He had thought that the scale of the demon-slaying would catch them off guard, but he had underestimated those saviors.

Suruga Ando, ​​who had suddenly disappeared, suddenly appeared here, and seeing that the saviors were safe and sound with his clairvoyance, he was very unhappy.

The situation is self-evident; Suruga Ando didn't just disappear, he betrayed us.

As one of the few SS-level saviors in the world, his true identity is that of a heretic in this world, the leader of the demon hunters.

Moreover, he was an outer member of the cult, and his previous life was that of the emperor of the empire who was "killed" by the sword saint Flag, the previous life of Haimura Moroha.

Without the cult's orders, he could have comfortably watched the humans and demon hunters 'playing' in the White Knight's organization.

However, after the Order issued the White Knight Organization's order to explore Earth, it ordered Suruga Ando to destroy the 'ruins' left behind by the Order on Earth.

Even if it means exposing one's identity, it's a task that must be completed.

Failure to complete the task will result in being abandoned and expelled by the cult. Successful completion will allow Suruga Ando to continue his activities in other worlds within the cult's reach. The cult will also be generous to Suruga Ando in terms of personal rewards.

"Lord Anton, what exactly are we searching for? If we betray the White Knight Organization like this, is there really any way out?"

Suruga Ando's right-hand woman, a purple-haired girl with glasses who was also his secretary, was also radiating divine power. Looking at the desolate seabed around them, which resembled ruins, she asked with some unease.

"Searching for clues left behind by the cult, and destroying them."

Glancing at the purple-haired girl beside him, Suruga Ando could sense his secretary's unease and confusion, so he comforted her, "As for the future, as long as the mission is completed, there is nothing to worry about, Kyoko."

Upon hearing this, the purple-haired girl, Kyoko Takanashi, pursed her lips and chose to believe Suruga Ando's words.

Her first secretary in Suruga Ando was a talented woman skilled in both literature and martial arts.

Although Anton is the ace fighter against heretics, he is not particularly outstanding in terms of combat power against threats other than heretics. Therefore, while serving as her secretary, she also acts as Anton's bodyguard.

Moreover, she was a follower of Suruga Ando personally, and was determined to build the Japanese branch into Ando's kingdom. However, Suruga Ando's sudden betrayal made her feel that the future was bleak.

If Suruga Ando is an outer member of the cult, then she is even less capable than Suruga Ando, ​​and knows less about the cult than Suruga Ando.

Even so, she would not betray him. Suruga Ando knew that his right-hand man was more loyal to him than to the cult.

She was unaware of the Order's immense power, but she could tell from Suruga Ando's loyalty that he harbored a fanatical passion for the Order.

Suruga Ando had witnessed the power of the Order; those powerful exorcists were initially just test subjects in the Order's eyes.

As for why Suruga Ando was so sure that the cult would not abandon him as long as he completed the mission.

That's because the more you know, the more you either silence them or never give up.

It is believed that if traces of the cult are found among the clues provided by the cult, Suruga Ando's position within the cult will be moved up.

The cult, capable of extending its influence to countless other-dimensional worlds, was an unfathomable organization in Suruga Ando's eyes, so he was very curious about what exactly the 'traces' the cult had ordered him to destroy were.

"Although the cult provided the exact location, the tectonic shifts caused by the last war have already shifted it, which is really troublesome."

Suruga Ando gazed at the ruins in the deep sea, where he could vaguely see many dilapidated buildings that once belonged to human civilization.

Just like the city of Atlantis that once sank into the deep sea, the once glorious civilization of mankind also sank into the sea, turning into a ruined city in the deep sea.

Suruga Ando's target this time is the region of 'India' that was once on Earth, but the territory of India has long been submerged in the deep sea.

In addition to the previous wars against demons and the last major war that affected the entire Earth, the Earth's tectonic plates have shifted considerably.

Finding the exact location has also become less easy.

"Lord Anton, look there..."

Naberi, one of Suruga Ando's men, seemed to have suddenly discovered something in the deep sea, pointing in a direction for Suruga Ando to look.

Following the direction his subordinate pointed, Suruga Ando's most powerful clairvoyance naturally allowed him to discern what his subordinate was pointing to.

It was a stone that was almost completely worn away, which wouldn't normally attract much attention, but what was left on the stone was what was noteworthy.

Even though it was worn down, Suruga Ando could still see the blurry things engraved on the stone.

It was half a symbol that looked like a flower, with blurred Buddhist and Taoist mantras around it.

found it!

When Suruga Ando saw the mark, he couldn't help but smile with excitement.

There's no mistake, I can't be wrong, that's the symbol of the Flower Wheel Cult of the Wheel King, and the Buddhist and Taoist-style mantras around it further confirm this.

Suruga Ando immediately went over to confirm the location of the marker, and after destroying it into dust, he knew that the target of this mission was nearby.

All that's left is to find that entrance. With that thought, Suruga Ando immediately raised his hands to form a hand seal and began using his ancestral technique—Firefly.

This is one of the five-star techniques of White Iron, a move that transforms divine power into the ability of origin. Since the origins of White Iron are different, the forms that are usually manifested are also different.

Therefore, it has become the skill that makes the biggest difference between white irons. It is a high-level light skill and is regarded as the secret move of white irons.

For example, Haimura Moroha's Mars is a conceptual severing, while Suruga Ando's Mars is not an attack type, but a 'link' ability that complements his perception ability.

This is also a conceptual ability. The functions of connection are numerous and extensive, such as spiritual connection, séance connection, power connection, consciousness connection, and so on.

The use of abilities depends entirely on the individual, and the link Suruga Ando is using Mars to connect to an unknown alternate dimension located in this area.

"The connection is established..."

The moment Suruga Ando smiled, his eyes immediately turned to his left, and he raised his hand to draw dark magic incantations in the air, chanting the spells he had learned from the cult.

"Om—Namo Great Tengu, Little Tengu, Twelve Tengu, including the Great Tengu, tens of thousands riding Tengu, demons begone, all wishes fulfilled..."

Suruga Ando wove some slightly eerie incantations, and the incantations he wove seemed to come alive, swirling in the sea in front of him.

Then it began to gradually distort the void in front of it, tearing it apart and expanding it, eventually forming a very stable interdimensional portal.

Suruga Ando and his men were overjoyed to see the door open.

"Ah, finally found it."

"Yes, we finally achieved results without lifting a finger."

Just as Suruga Ando couldn't help but feel happy, along with his words, a satisfied smile rang out behind them all.

!!!

When Suruga Ando heard that all-too-familiar voice, the smile on his face froze instantly, and fear appeared in his eyes.

The others were startled when they realized what was happening. They immediately turned around and saw several figures that made everyone present feel heavy-hearted and filled with despair.

Surrounded by the radiant glow of magical power, Sanzu River Night Walker stood before Ying Zheng and the Old Man of the Mountain, smiling as he looked at the stiff-faced Suruga Ando.

"H-How could this be? The River of Three Crossings... You... you're still here..."

When Suruga Ando saw that Sanzukawa Yagyō had suddenly appeared there, he knew that things were serious. He couldn't understand how Sanzukawa Yagyō, who was still on the moon, could find him so accurately and quickly.

Moreover, judging from the other party's tone, they already knew his whereabouts and had been secretly watching him, only revealing themselves the moment he found the ruins.

“Suruga Ando-kun, your clairvoyance is very strong. You truly deserve the title of ‘Thousand-Mile Eye’. Before I appeared before you, I was indeed on the moon.”

Sanzu River Night Walker's eyes held a detached smile as he looked at the previously missing Suruga Ando with great interest, praising (mocking) the other's self-righteous abilities. Then, a divine light suddenly burst forth from his forehead, and a strange eye appeared.

Anyone present who is stared at by the eye on Nightwalker's forehead will have a strong feeling of being seen through, as if they have no secrets in front of that eye.

Sanzu River Night Walker slightly raised his finger and pointed to the third eye on his forehead, then smiled and explained to the stiff-faced Suruga Ando:
