The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

Inoue Yasutaka was completely bewildered.

Even though I used all sorts of anti-tracking methods along the way, why did Hachiman Hikigaya still appear out of nowhere?

Moreover, he carried a burden with him...

Is this a sign of disrespect towards him?

"Since you're willing to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

Standing up, Inoue Yasutaka's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

A silent ripple emanated from his mouth.

Countless evil spirits emerged from the concrete floor, the ceiling, and the walls.

"Why send Miura along as well?"

Looking at the large group of evil spirits in front of him, Hachiman Hikigaya glanced at Yumiko Miura in his arms and gave a bitter smile.

If he were alone, dealing with these evil spirits would have been much easier...

However, complaining won't get rid of the evil spirits.

After placing Miura Yumiko on the ground to protect her, Hikigaya Hachiman grabbed a handful of talismans and flung them at the horde of evil spirits in front of him.

Most of them were just rudimentary evil spirits that vanished instantly.

However, the black smoke formed when they died temporarily limited Hachiman Hikigaya's vision to a limited area.

"Whoosh!" A whooshing sound came from the black smoke.

Immediately afterwards, a long sword appeared in front of Hachiman Hikigaya.

Hachiman Hikigaya parried with his demon-slaying sword, then followed up with a spirit stream that sent Inoue Yasutaka flying. He frowned as he looked at Inoue's attire.

The armor resembled that of an ancient general, and the katana in his hand...

If he hadn't been certain that the other party was the Demon King, Hachiman Hikigaya would have thought he was fighting against humans.

With a powerful push off the ground with his right foot, Inoue Yasutaka instantly appeared to the side of Hikigaya Hachiman, slashing his katana towards his back.

Hachiman Hikigaya turned to block, and as the two were exchanging blows, Yasutaka Inoue suddenly raised his foot and kicked him away.

"He only has the strength, nothing more..."

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya was easily sent flying by his attack, Yasutaka Inoue shook his head.

He then flashed and caught up with Hachiman Hikigaya again, intending to take advantage of the victory and kill Hachiman Hikigaya in one fell swoop.

"Breath of the Sun, Waltz!"

In mid-air, Hachiman Hikigaya twisted his waist to use the momentum to perform a circular dance, forcing back Inoue Yasutaka's attack.

He then landed on the ground and charged towards the other person.

"Breathe the Sun, Emerge with the Radiance of Yang!"

As he moved forward, Hachiman Hikigaya used the Breath of the Sun technique again, instantly increasing his movement speed and arriving in front of Yasutaka Inoue.

"when!"

Inoue Yasutaka steadily caught Hikigaya Hachiman's sudden thrust.

He then slashed downwards with the blade of his katana, attempting to cut off Hachiman Hikigaya's fingers that were gripping the sword.

Hachiman Hikigaya used the momentum to twirl his sword, then flipped it and slashed horizontally towards Yasutaka Inoue's neck.

According to his normal thinking, in the face of his attack, Inoue Yasutaka should have leaned back or retreated.

However, Inoue Yasutaka's free hand directly grabbed the Demon Slayer Sword.

"?!"

The demon-slaying sword made a sizzling sound as it touched Inoue Yasutaka's body, like roasting meat, and a wisp of black smoke rose into the air through his fingers.

Completely disregarding the fact that he had lost an arm, Inoue Yasutaka took advantage of Hachiman Hikigaya's momentary daze and stabbed him in the abdomen with his katana.

With a "thud," the sharp blade, after a brief moment of resistance, pierced straight through Hachiman Hikigaya's body.

"Well!"

The intense pain in his body caused Hachiman Hikigaya to tremble instantly, and large beads of cold sweat appeared on his cheeks.

With one hand gripping Inoue Yasutaka's katana, preventing him from pulling the weapon back, Hikigaya Hachiman continued to forcefully slash at Inoue Yasutaka with his Demon Slayer Sword.

Perhaps because he felt that Hachiman Hikigaya had lost most of his fighting strength due to such serious injuries, Inoue Yasutaka was caught off guard by Hachiman Hikigaya's counterattack.

Although he managed to step back in time, the demon-slaying sword still sliced ​​through half of his throat.

If he were a normal human being, this injury would have been fatal.

Unfortunately, Yasutaka Inoue is not one of them.

No matter how similar he may appear, his true identity remains that of a demon king-level evil spirit.

As for evil spirits, they will not die unless their core is cut!

“Hehehe…”

With a burst of laughter that cut through the wind, Inoue Yasutaka kicked Hikigaya Hachiman away, while simultaneously sheathing his katana.

"It's all over now..."

Looking at Hachiman Hikigaya, who was lying on the ground clutching his abdominal wound not far away, Inoue Yasutaka walked slowly toward him with a sinister smile on his face.

Although it's unclear why Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly appeared before him, it was already destined that he would be killed by him.

Even if he doesn't go forward to finish him off now, the huge wound alone is enough to make Hachiman Hikigaya bleed to death!

However, to prevent any accidents, Inoue Yasutaka decided it was best to finish the job.

After all, what if a group of people suddenly appear and rescue Hachiman Hikigaya using some strange method?

Adhering to the rule that villains die from talking too much nonsense, Inoue Yasutaka did not hesitate and slashed straight at Hachiman Hikigaya's neck.

“Gurgle…”

A round object suddenly rolled to Inoue Yasutaka's feet.

"This is... a grenade?"

As a modern-day evil spirit, Inoue Yasutaka is well aware of what lies beneath his feet.

But how could a high school student like Hachiman Hikigaya possess such military weapons?!

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the massive shockwave from the grenade explosion instantly sent two people flying within range.

Is he trying to commit suicide?

After rolling around on the ground a few times, Inoue Yasutaka got up and couldn't understand why Hikigaya Hachiman would use a grenade.

After all, that thing didn't do any harm to him as an evil spirit.

A cold glint flashed in the dark space and then appeared in front of Inoue Yasutaka.

"fine!"

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya swinging his demon-slaying sword at him like a normal person, Yasutaka Inoue couldn't help but cry out.

How can this be? !

Even though he was seriously injured, and was enduring the pain, his attack speed should not have been this fast!

With a sense of doubt, Inoue Yasutaka looked at Hachiman Hikigaya's abdomen.

Through the torn clothing, the gruesome wound had stopped bleeding and was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Chapter 175 If you can't beat them, transform!

"Healing abilities comparable to those of an evil spirit?"

Inoue Yasutaka's pupils contracted instantly, and he gritted his teeth, stopped his retreat, and charged towards Hikigaya Hachiman.

Since Hachiman Hikigaya possesses such strong healing abilities, his previous plan to kill him with minor injuries has been completely thwarted.

He thrust his katana at Hachiman Hikigaya once more.

This time, however, Inoue Yasutaka's target was no longer the soft belly, but Hachiman Hikigaya's heart and throat!

Despite Inoue Yasutaka's offensive, Hikigaya Hachiman continued to slash at his target without even blinking.

Just as the katana was about to pierce his chest, he slightly turned to the side, causing Inoue Yasutaka to miss.

The katana pierced his body again, but Hachiman Hikigaya endured the pain and used his body to block Inoue Yasutaka's weapon, sending the demon-slaying katana into Inoue Yasutaka's chest.

The demon-slaying sword pierced the heart with unerring accuracy. With its core destroyed, Inoue Yasutaka lost its power and gradually dissipated into a wisp of black smoke.

Things should have ended this way...

however.

"fine?"

Seeing Inoue Yasutaka also reach out and grab the Demon Slayer Sword, Hachiman Hikigaya felt a sense of confusion.

If the core is connected, no evil spirit should be able to continue its activities.

Could it be that......

Looking up at the undisguised smugness on Inoue Yasutaka's face, Hachiman Hikigaya's heart sank.

Is this guy's heart on the right side?

Thinking of this, Hachiman Hikigaya twisted his hand holding the sword, and the demon-slaying sword spun 90 degrees inside Yasutaka Inoue's body, about to slash horizontally.

"Bah!"

Several evil spirits suddenly placed their arms on Hachiman Hikigaya's shoulders, preventing him from exerting force.

It turned out that the remaining evil spirits in the warehouse had taken advantage of the stalemate between the two sides to surround them.

"Burning into flames..."

Without the slightest hesitation, Hachiman Hikigaya directly made the ghostly flames appear on the surface of his body.
