The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

However, the fox priestess did not answer her question. Instead, she waved her hand, and the sky in front of her suddenly turned into a screen, which was playing a scene of Hachiman Hikigaya fighting against Yasutaka Inoue.

Chapter 178 Chiba's Guardian

"Hikigaya?"

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya clinging to Inoue Yasutaka and struggling to climb upwards, Yumiko Miura gasped and then suddenly covered her mouth with her hand.

On the screen, Hachiman Hikigaya had no idea that he and Yasutaka Inoue were being watched live.

After struggling to withstand the shockwave, he started climbing up Inoue Yasutaka's back again.

Having already guessed what Hachiman Hikigaya was planning to do, Yasutaka Inoue naturally tried his best to stop him.

At the same time, countless arms grew from the surface of his back and reached out to grab Hachiman Hikigaya, intending to trap him.

Covered in a protective shield and surrounded by a ring of ghostly flames, Hachiman Hikigaya crawled headlong toward the location of Yasutaka Inoue's true heart.

Just as he was about to reach his destination, a dark shadow suddenly flashed past him.

Immediately afterward, Hachiman Hikigaya felt himself being kicked away hard.

"I underestimated you..."

The miniature version of Inoue Yasutaka looked at Hikigaya Hachiman below him with an unfriendly expression.

At this moment, the one fighting against Hachiman Hikigaya is only one of his clones, whose strength is only at the Admiral level.

If he can't break free of his gigantic state soon, it will be disastrous if Hachiman Hikigaya reaches his core location.

Hachiman Hikigaya was not surprised by the obstruction from Inoue Yasutaka's clone.

After all, he was about to reach the opponent's weak point. If he didn't have some protection, he would wonder how this ghost king became a king.

but.......

"A mere general-level officer seems a bit insufficient!"

With the system's reminder, Hachiman Hikigaya instantly realized that the clone of Yasutaka Inoue in front of him was only a general-level being!

"what?"

The clone, who was initially trying his best to pretend to be the original, suddenly became serious upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's words.

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya rushing towards him at top speed, he did not hesitate at all and chose to self-destruct under the command of his main body!

Hachiman Hikigaya never expected that his clone would choose to self-destruct.

Caught off guard, he was thrown into the air and fell off Inoue Yasutaka.

"Dead fish eyes!"

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly fall on the screen, Yumiko Miura couldn't help but scream.

Falling from such a height, wouldn't that guy die instantly?

"Ah, right!"

Miura Yumiko suddenly thought of the fox shrine maiden beside her.

Since she was able to teleport me directly to this place, she must be very strong.

If we ask her to help...

Thinking of this, Miura Yumiko quickly looked at the fox shrine maiden and told her her request.

"........."

However, after hearing Miura Yumiko's words, the fox shrine maiden just stared at her, seemingly not understanding what she meant.

"I said, can you go and help?"

Yumiko Miura pointed to Yasutaka Inoue on the screen and then to the fox shrine maiden herself.

After much effort, the fox witch finally moved.

She nodded slightly, and instantly disappeared from Miura Yumiko's sight.

When Miura Yumiko looked at the screen again, the fox shrine maiden was already standing on Inoue Yasutaka's head, throwing out countless thin, golden chains that enveloped him.

"Ok?"

Looking at Hachiman Hikigaya in mid-air, Inoue Yasutaka, who was also greatly injured due to the loss of his clone, was about to give chase when he suddenly noticed that the golden figure that had disappeared earlier was standing on his head.

Not only that, the chains in her hands, which looked like they could break at the slightest touch, were actually binding his body!

something wrong.

The strange behavior of the little golden figure instantly put Inoue Yasutaka on high alert.

He abandoned the equally injured Hachiman Hikigaya, deciding to eliminate this unpredictable villain first.

With a exertion of force, the chain shattered.

Along with the rupture, the fox witch's body also broke apart.

Grabbing the body of the little figure on his head, Inoue Yasutaka swallowed it whole without hesitation.

"Well!"

Suddenly, his eyes widened instantly.

Power surged from my body!

Highly nourishing!

After absorbing the power of the fox priestess, Inoue Yasutaka not only recovered from all the injuries inflicted by Hachiman Hikigaya, but also steadily advanced his strength towards becoming the Demon King.

Inoue Yasutaka had a premonition that if he were given two more golden figurines, he would definitely advance to the level of Demon King!

"Oops....."

Unlike Inoue Yasutaka's ecstatic joy, Hikigaya Hachiman was overwhelmed with excitement after realizing that Inoue Yasutaka's strength had increased dramatically after eating the fox priestess.

After flipping in the air and landing steadily on the ground, Hachiman Hikigaya was pondering how to deal with Yasutaka Inoue in his current state when he suddenly looked up and stared blankly at what was behind him.

"Have you given up resisting?"

Looking at Hachiman Hikigaya, who was standing there stunned, Inoue Yasutaka's lips curled into a sinister smile.

But isn't that normal?

After all the effort they had put into the fight, both of them were seriously injured, but one of them suddenly recovered completely.

No one could accept such a thing!

He raised his fist high, ready to deliver the final blow to Hachiman Hikigaya.

Suddenly, Inoue Yasutaka felt his fist hit something.

"How could I possibly touch anything from this height?"

Inoue Yasutaka turned his head in confusion and saw a three-tailed fox, 30 meters tall and golden all over, standing quietly behind him, looking down at him.

"A three-tailed fox? Holy crap!"

Upon seeing the fox behind him, Inoue Yasutaka suddenly realized what the little golden figure he had just eaten was.

He tried to run away, but the three-tailed fox simply raised one of its front paws and easily pinned him to the ground, rendering him immobile.

Then the three-tailed fox lowered its head, and a ball of golden threads was summoned from Inoue Yasutaka's body.

The silk threads fell to the ground and gathered again to form the fox witch.

The two, one big and one small, chatted for a few moments before the fox priestess found Hachiman Hikigaya and pulled him to the right side of Inoue Yasutaka's back, near his heart.

"Is this... to let me understand him?"

Hachiman Hikigaya looked at the fox priestess uncertainly and asked.

Upon hearing this, both the three-tailed fox and the fox priestess nodded.

............

Minutes later, with Inoue Yasutaka's enormous heart pierced by the Demon Slayer Sword, and with a resentful howl, Inoue Yasutaka, the ruler of the Chiba Evil Spirits, vanished from this world forever.

As Inoue Taitaka's corpse dissipated, the three-tailed fox raised its head, looked around, and then suddenly spat out several golden orbs of light.

A few seconds later, the system in Hachiman Hikigaya's mind suddenly reminded him that the 'Guardian of Chiba' mission was completed.

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was stunned, the fox priestess suddenly grabbed his clothes again, placed a fox mask in his palm, and then disappeared along with the three-tailed fox.

Chapter 179 My Personal Guardian Spirit

Does this mean I should put it on?

Looking at the mask made entirely of gold thread in his hand, Hachiman Hikigaya hesitated for a moment before sticking the mask onto his face.

The next second he vanished from his spot and instantly appeared in front of an abandoned shrine.

"Hikigaya?"

A voice, uncertain yet slightly excited, called out from beside her.

After the fox shrine maiden was eaten by the monster that Inoue Yasutaka had transformed into once again, her screen disappeared.

Therefore, Miura Yumiko was unaware of the situation on Hikigaya Hachiman's side.

Just as she was filled with anxiety, a person who looked remarkably like Hachiman Hikigaya, but wore a fox mask, appeared before her...

"Good evening, Miura-san."

Upon hearing Miura Yumiko's call, Hikigaya Hachiman turned around and nodded at her.

"Good evening....."

Yumiko Miura looked at Hachiman Hikigaya with a strange expression on her face.

After what just happened, how can you still greet me so casually?

What's with the mask on your face?

Soon, Miura Yumiko's attention was drawn to the mask on Hikigaya Hachiman's face, since it was the same mask as the fox shrine maiden's mask from before.

At this moment, with Hachiman Hikigaya also present, and considering their location, Yumiko Miura made a bold guess.
