The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

Swallowing hard, Kagura Tsuchimiya mustered her strength and raised her sword to face the enemy.

Having missed his first attack, the fat man slowly straightened his body and continued to advance towards Tsuchimiya Kagura.

Having been poisoned by a toxin that appeared to cause paralysis, and feeling that she was temporarily outmatched, Kagura Tsuchimiya was forced to clear away the corpses behind her and retreat towards the back of the vehicle, hoping to buy some time to neutralize the toxins in her body with her spiritual power.

At the same time, she also dialed Isayama Yomi's number, just to give it a try.

"beep......."

The phone was answered after ringing a few times.

"Kagura...."

Immediately, Isayama Yomi's urgent voice and the roars of the corpses came through the phone.

"Huang Quan, how's the situation on your end?"

Hearing the roars of the corpses, Kagura Tsuchimiya's heart sank instantly.

"What's the situation?"

Kagura Tsuchimiya's question startled Yomi Isayama slightly.

She turned her head to look at the little girl hiding behind her, then at the countless corpses in front of her, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"Sorry, I've run into a bit of trouble... There are quite a lot of enemies."

When we came this far, there were only a few corpses. Where did all the extra ones come from?

"Me too..."

Continuing to retreat towards the rear of the car, Kagura Tsuchimiya watched the giant fat man closing in on her while pondering a countermeasure and maintaining a call with Yomi Isayama.

"Well, don't worry. Although there are a lot of enemies, we can still take care of them in a little while. I've also already notified the section chief and asked her to send a squad to provide support."

Although there are many corpses, each one is only at the C-level. As long as the front door is blocked and only one or two are allowed in at a time, the corpses in front of us can be worn down slowly.

This is because Isayama Yomi is protecting the children behind her and can't act freely.

If she didn't need a protector, she would have directly made Ranguren use the Roaring Wave.

Similarly, Yomi Isayama believed that as long as Kagura Tsuchimiya guarded the rear gate of the carriage like she did, she could minimize her physical exertion while waiting for her companions' support.

"Aren't you worried?"

Kagura Tsuchimiya dodged the fat man's sweeping attack with a backflip, then cleaned up the corpses in the last carriage before falling silent as she stared at the tightly closed driver's cab door at the rear of the train.

Without the threat of the fat corpse, Kagura Tsuchimiya was able to break down the driver's cab door while enduring the corpse's attacks.

But now...

"We have no choice but to fight!"

If the terrain were open and there was no poisoning, Kagura Tsuchimiya was confident that she could easily deal with the fat corpse in front of her.

But now she was trapped in the narrow carriage, forced to confront the evil spirit head-on, and had also absorbed paralyzing poison gas...

Without time to think, after cornering Tsuchimiya Kagura, the fat corpse once again swung its huge, fat arm at Tsuchimiya Kagura.

Kagura Tsuchimiya rolled to the right to dodge the attack, but she also crashed into the side of the car.

"Well.."

A burning pain shot through her back, but Kagura Tsuchimiya only cried out once before quickly urging her body forward, stepping on the fat corpse's arm and heading straight for its brain.

No matter how large a corpse is, its weakness is the evil spirit that surrounds its head.

If we can just eliminate it...

Seeing the target so close at hand, Tsuchimiya Kagura swung her long sword.

However, just as she was about to cut off the head, the fat demon's arm suddenly began to shake.

He slipped, and the long knife grazed the fat demon's head as it sliced ​​down.

Although a long scratch was left on the surface of his chest, it did nothing to help!

"call......."

The fat evil spirit spewed out another puff of purple smoke from its mouth.

Just by looking at its color, you can tell that the gas is poisonous.

Kagura Tsuchimiya held her breath, searching for the next opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

However, to her surprise, after releasing the smoke, the fat corpse did not choose to continue attacking, but instead slowly retreated.

"How is this going?"

As the corpses receded, Kagura Tsuchimiya remained vigilant while attempting to break down the door to the driver's cab behind her.

Just as she smashed the door open, several sharp cylindrical objects pierced through the overhead carriage and hurtled towards her.

"Rank B.....Mountain Spider....."

This is the evil spirit that Tsuchimiya Kagura once saw Isayama Yomi vanquish.

Therefore, at the moment of being attacked, Kagura Tsuchimiya's mind flashed with the specific information of the evil spirit.

Although mountain spiders have long, sharp legs to attack, they are extremely slow in their movements.

How did it manage to attack itself while it was traveling at high speed on a tram?

With a sense of doubt, Kagura Tsuchimiya looked out the car window.

The streetlights beside the power lines cast a faint white glow, barely illuminating part of the mountain spider's body...

Has the tram stopped?

Kagura Tsuchimiya was slightly stunned as she looked at the motionless scenery outside.

I didn't even notice when the tram stopped...

In this case, the original plan to arrive in Tokyo and then work with his companions to kill all the corpses on the train has fallen through.

"We must stop it from damaging the tram..."

Through the shattered carriage, Kagura Tsuchimiya glanced at the evil spirit and made a decision in her heart.

Because it was nighttime, she couldn't be sure of her exact location, but she absolutely couldn't let an entire train full of corpses wander around the outskirts of Tokyo!

Using the gap that the mountain spider had previously created, Kagura Tsuchimiya cut a large enough hole in the roof of the carriage for her to climb out.

She then leaped off, stood on top of the tram, and jumped toward the mountain spider beside the tracks.

Sensing Kagura Tsuchimiya's presence, Yamagumo brandished its long, thin tentacles and lunged at her.

Kagura Tsuchimiya twisted and flipped in mid-air, then used the blade to strike the mountain spider's tentacles, leaping towards the spider's head.

However, the mountain spider seemed to have anticipated Kagura Tsuchimiya's attack. It raised its head and spat out white spider silk from its mouthparts.

Unable to dodge in time, Tsuchimiya Kagura was completely wrapped up in a giant white rice dumpling, along with her weapon.

Then, the mountain spider raised one of its tentacles and, as if hitting a tennis ball, sent Tsuchimiya Kagura flying.

Chapter 190 Shrine Attack

In Hachiman Hikigaya's room, while he was training, he suddenly felt a heat on the fox mark on his arm.

Then a small white fox jumped out from mid-air.

"grown ups...."

The fox, having landed steadily on the desk in front of Hachiman Hikigaya, transformed into a masked shrine maiden and greeted him respectfully.

"Is there a problem?"

Looking at the fox shrine maiden who was not the same person as that afternoon, Hachiman Hikigaya asked in confusion.

"Someone just fell into the grounds of the shrine I'm guarding. She smells like you, so I've come to ask if you know her..."

Having said that, the priestess raised her right hand.

The scene of Kagura Tsuchimiya, wrapped in spider silk like a giant dumpling, lying on the ground appeared before Hachiman Hikigaya. At the same time, she was surrounded by more than a dozen little foxes that looked exactly like the shrine maiden before her transformation.

"I recognize this person. What's she doing at your shrine?"

Hachiman Hikigaya was somewhat surprised to see Tsuchimiya Kagura.

Especially seeing that the other person was clearly trapped...

You know, Kagura Tsuchimiya is one of the best psychics in Tokyo, how could she have become like this?

"I don't know. My companion and I were assigned to guard a small shrine on the outskirts of Tokyo. She just suddenly fell from the sky..."

The fox shrine maiden shook her head, indicating that she did not know why Tsuchimiya Kagura had appeared.

Suddenly, she froze slightly, then looked up at Hachiman Hikigaya and reported, "My lord, an evil spirit just broke into the shrine's barrier. It seems to be after that human."

How strong is it?

Hearing the fox priestess's words, Hachiman Hikigaya's heart skipped a beat. The evil spirit that dared to chase after Kagura Tsuchimiya must be at least a Special Grade, right?

Those apprentice priestesses with only one tail are definitely no match for that evil spirit.

"I've already been played to death by my teammates."

The fox witch suddenly shrugged, a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"It's just a mid-level evil spirit. I don't know who gave it the courage to invade the Inari Shrine."

"........"

"Okay, could you please take me there?"

Realizing that things weren't going as he'd imagined, Hachiman Hikigaya rubbed his temples and pleaded with the fox priestess.

"Please wait a moment. Due to my own insufficient strength, I must go back and call my companions for help..."

After saying that, the fox shrine maiden transformed back into her previous little fox form and jumped into the mark on Hachiman Hikigaya's arm.

About several tens of seconds later.

Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly felt the mark on his arm burning hot.

Then a flash of golden light appeared.
