The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

After stroking Sakura's soft, long hair and telling her not to run around, Hachiman Hikigaya set up a magic circle and then charged towards the monster.

"Is he courting death?"

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya actually wanted to fight the monster hand-to-hand, Ryunosuke Amusei showed a surprised expression.

As a magician, shouldn't you be performing magic from a distance?

Meanwhile, the approaching monster had extended several long tentacles and was wrapping around Hachiman Hikigaya.

At the same time, it opened a slit in its body, revealing a large mouth full of fangs, ready to eat.

However, a flash of eerie green light appeared, and several waving tentacles snapped off. Then, Hachiman Hikigaya swept his hand across, slicing a monster blocking his path in half at the waist. He then raised his hand and unleashed another stream of spiritual energy, turning another monster beside him into a pile of mud.

"So, what's next..."

It only took Hachiman Hikigaya a few seconds to take down the two monsters.

Without any pause, he immediately charged towards Ryunosuke Uryu.

"This is different from what Master Jill said..."

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya charging towards him, Ryunosuke Amusei felt no panic whatsoever; instead, an expression of excitement appeared on his face.

With a thought, all the monsters behind him, except for the one holding Rin Tohsaka, began to writhe and pounce on Hachiman Hikigaya in strange postures.

"No, this quantity is far from enough..."

Remembering how easily Hachiman Hikigaya had killed two monsters, Ryunosuke Uryuu activated the larvae within his body again, summoning several more monsters to join the battle.

After that, Ryunosuke Uryu knelt on the ground, his face pale, panting heavily.

But upon seeing Hachiman Hikigaya surrounded by more than a dozen demonic beasts, he immediately burst into laughter.

"This quantity is a bit troublesome..."

Hachiman Hikigaya looked at the number of monsters surrounding him with a somewhat solemn expression.

If it were a one-on-one fight, he would naturally not feel any pressure, but the monsters in front of him were clearly planning to gang up on him!

After a few seconds of stalemate, one of the monsters launched the first attack.

Immediately following, as if triggering a chain reaction, all the other monsters rushed towards Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Breath of the Sun - Waltz!"

Instantly entering a breathing technique state, Hachiman Hikigaya spun around on the spot, and the sudden burst of fire on his demon-slaying sword temporarily repelled the surrounding demons.

His body stopped spinning, and Hachiman Hikigaya lunged at the nearest monster, while simultaneously throwing out several attack talismans with his free left hand to block the other monsters from coming to his aid.

"For the next two seconds, we'll be in a one-on-one situation."

Thoughts flashed through Hachiman Hikigaya's mind, then he took a deep breath, his eyes fixed solely on the monster before him...

"Hey, hey, are you kidding me?"

Ryunosuke Uryuu managed to regain some strength and get up from the ground. When he looked up, he found that only three of the dozen or so demonic beasts that had surrounded Hachiman Hikigaya were still struggling to stay afloat.

And soon, accompanied by a scream, the monsters went from three to two!

"Didn't the master say that these magical beasts are extremely powerful? Why can't they even defeat a single human?!"

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya's eyes were filled with murderous intent, Ryunosuke Amusei instinctively stepped back.

When he turned his head and saw Rin Tohsaka on the monster next to him, Ryunosuke Amusei's eyes suddenly lit up again.

He summoned a magical beast, grabbed Rin Tohsaka in his hand, and gave Hachiman Hikigaya the order to stop.

"If you don't stop, I'll kill this guy."

Chapter 224 Rin Tohsaka's Self-Salvation

"what?"

Upon hearing Ryunosuke Amusei's words, Hachiman Hikigaya stopped in his tracks and looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Although he could barely be said to know the little girl, Ryunosuke Uryu wouldn't think that she could threaten him, would he?

Ryunosuke Uryu knew, of course, that it was impossible for a complete stranger like a child to threaten Hachiman Hikigaya into surrendering.

In reality, he did this simply to buy himself some time.

"vomit....."

Suddenly, Ryunosuke Uryu vomited a mouthful of foul blood, mixed with what looked like fragments of internal organs.

"How disgusting!"

Rin Tohsaka looked at the vomit right at her feet, a look of disgust on her face.

"Was that guy conscious the whole time?"

Seeing Rin Tohsaka's empty eyes, Hachiman Hikigaya initially thought that Rin Tohsaka had been controlled.

But through the subtle change in her expression just now, Hachiman Hikigaya realized that Rin Tohsaka's previous demeanor was actually an act!

"What do you want to do?"

After a few seconds of hesitation, Hachiman Hikigaya abandoned his previous plan and instead discussed with Ryunosuke Uryu the terms to create an opportunity for Rin Tohsaka.

Since that little guy is so clever and capable of staying conscious, he should be able to seize the opportunity to escape from Ryunosuke Uryu...

"It's nothing, I just hope you'll stay where you are and not move..."

While controlling the newly summoned monster hiding in the shadows to climb to the rooftop to prepare to ambush Hachiman Hikigaya, Ryunosuke Amusei continued to talk with Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Hand over that child, and I'll let you go tonight."

Hachiman Hikigaya frowned and obediently stopped his approaching steps.

"That won't do."

Ryunosuke Amusei shook his head and rejected Hachiman Hikigaya's proposal.

Regardless of whether Hachiman Hikigaya will keep his promise and let the child go after he releases him.

He simply couldn't let the child go, because she was a perfect subject for making art!

Moreover, the task the master gave him today was to at least capture the children around Hachiman Hikigaya.

Even if the mission fails, Lord Gil probably won't blame him, but having finally met a like-minded partner, Ryunosuke Uryu doesn't want to disappoint him.

The monsters preparing to launch a sneak attack were already in place. Just to be on the safe side, Ryunosuke Uryu summoned another batch of monsters that appeared between him and Hachiman Hikigaya, and secretly hid two more monsters to go around to the back to prepare to ambush Sakura.

After all the arrangements were completed, Ryunosuke Uryu spat out another mouthful of thick blood.

Moreover, Ryunosuke Uryu could clearly feel the larvae in his body beating faster and faster, as if they might awaken at any moment.

"What do you want?"

Seeing that Ryunosuke Uryuu suddenly became weak, Hachiman Hikigaya could almost conclude that the guy on the other side must have done something in secret.

"What do I want to do? Um, let me think... How about throwing the weapon over first?"

The demon-slaying sword in Hachiman Hikigaya's hand had a great impact on Ryunosuke Uryuu from the very beginning.

After all, before, after summoning a monster, Ryunosuke Uryu had tried dissecting one of the monsters for fun.

Unfortunately, modern knives were completely unable to pierce the monster's skin, so Ryunosuke Uryu had no choice but to abandon his idea of ​​dissection.

The demon-slaying sword in Hachiman Hikigaya's hand seemed to be made of a special metal, and he easily sliced ​​through the tough hide of the demon beast as if it didn't exist.

'If we had that knife, dissecting other people would be much easier, wouldn't it?'

The idea came to Ryunosuke Uryuu's mind and soon became a reality.

With a clang, Hachiman Hikigaya threw the Demon Slayer Sword in front of Ryunosuke Uryu without the slightest hesitation.

With his system, he could store the Demon Slayer Sword in his system space at any time, so he wasn't worried at all that Ryunosuke would suddenly cause trouble after he got his weapon.

"You agreed so easily?"

Hachiman Hikigaya's decisive reaction caught Ryunosuke Amusei off guard.

To so easily discard his weapon to save a complete stranger, could this guy be some kind of incredibly philanthropic person?

Thinking of this possibility, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Ryunosuke Uryu's eyes.

He remembered that he had once met a kind woman like Hachiman Hikigaya.

Out of gratitude for being taken in, he used every trick in the book to transform the other person into his most perfect work of art to date.

Not only that, but even now, he still wears a necklace made from one of the other person's little fingers...

"Let's use his left hand this time. It'll make a perfect pair with the current one..."

Thinking about where to leave a memento after capturing Hachiman Hikigaya, Ryunosuke Uryuu, holding Rin Tohsaka hostage, headed towards the Demon Slayer Sword.

Just as he bent down to pick up the Demon Slayer Sword, Rin Tohsaka finally discovered the flaw.

"Have the opportunity!"

Because of bending over, Ryunosuke Uryu inevitably exposed his groin.

Rin Tohsaka, who is petite, immediately brightened up when she saw this scene.

The magic within her body gathered in her limbs, temporarily enhancing her agility and strength.

Then she raised her left foot and kicked Ryunosuke Uryuu's most vulnerable spot hard with her hard flat shoe.

"what!"

As soon as Ryunosuke Uryu picked up the demon-slaying sword, an unbearable pain shot through his lower abdomen.

He couldn't help but scream in pain, and at the same time, he released his hands, covered his groin, and knelt on the ground groaning.

Seeing the miserable state of Ryunosuke Amusei, Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly felt a chill run down his lower body, and his lips twitched violently.

Although he understood that for a child like Rin Tohsaka, striking those vital areas was the best way to escape.

However, being a fellow man, Hachiman Hikigaya felt a pang of sympathy for Ryunosuke Amuro, who had ended up with nothing.

Despite his sympathy, Hachiman Hikigaya did not stop moving.

At the same moment Rin Tohsaka made her move, Hachiman Hikigaya lunged at Ryunosuke Uryu once again.

With the system's help, the Demon-Slaying Sword returned to his hand. By the time Ryunosuke Amusei managed to lift his head, Hachiman Hikigaya had already rushed in front of him and placed the sword against his neck!
