The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

A bad feeling had already begun to creep into Yotsuya Miko's heart, but she still clung to a sliver of hope and looked up at the sky...

Its red eyes, as big as lanterns, stared straight at her.

When Yotsuya Miko saw the multi-armed evil spirit, which was a full five meters tall, standing behind Yurikawa Hana and staring at the two of them, she almost fainted.

"Come with me!"

After regaining her senses, Yotsuya Miko did not hesitate at all, and directly grabbed Yurikawa Hana's arm and ran in one direction.

"Hey, Miko, what happened?"

"Alright, don't ask why, just follow me!"

Yotsuya Miko was devastated that Yurikawa had summoned such a massive evil spirit.

The fact that Hachiman Hikigaya was not home at that time made the situation even worse.

"Why does this always have to happen when Hachiman isn't around?!"

Yotsuya Miko was getting a little frantic.

For the past few months, she and Yurikawa Hana hadn't encountered any powerful evil spirits, but they did in the two days that Hachiman Hikigaya was away.

"We have no choice but to go to the shrine!"

Having made up her mind, Yotsuya Miko quickened her pace once more.

According to Hachiman Hikigaya, he has allies at the nearby Fox Shrine.

If they go to the shrine and say that they know Hachiman Hikigaya, the shrine staff will definitely help them drive away the evil spirits behind them!

"Want to run?"

The multi-armed evil spirit hung leisurely behind Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana, a mocking smile playing on its lips.

Yesterday afternoon, he was attracted by the enormous life force of Yuri Kawana and thought he would parasitize her body to heal his injuries.

However, it soon discovered a faster way to heal its injuries—by devouring its own kind.

To evil spirits, Yurikawa Hana was like a beacon in the darkness.

In just one night and the warehouse trip just now, the multi-armed evil spirit has devoured over a hundred evil spirits, including some of the top-tier ones.

And it was also thanks to that special-grade evil spirit that the multi-armed evil spirit's strength had recovered to the peak of special-grade, only a membrane away from general-grade!

Chapter 321: Wrong Shrine

"This should be it, right?"

Following the description given by Hachiman Hikigaya, Miko Yotsuya, relying on her memory, led Yurikawa Hana on a wild ride for several tens of minutes before successfully arriving at the foot of a shrine.

Looking at the statue beside her, which had been corroded to the point that it was barely recognizable as a fox, Yotsuya Miko hesitated for a moment, but when she thought of the multi-armed evil spirit behind her, she gritted her teeth and led Yurikawa Hana up the mountain.

It was not the hidden paradise I had imagined.

The shrine atop the mountain was as dilapidated as the statues below.

Not only that, after entering the torii gate, Yotsuya Miko felt her bracelet instantly become scalding hot.

"Did I come to the wrong place?"

The various strange phenomena seemed to indicate that Yotsuya Miko had come to the wrong shrine.

However, seeing the multi-armed evil spirit lingering outside the torii gate, hesitant to enter, Yotsuya Miko's doubts began to waver again.

Although they may have come to the wrong place, since they are all shrines, they can all exorcise evil spirits, right?

Thinking of this, Yotsuya Miko pulled Yurikawa Hana to the place in front of the shrine for worship, and they put their hands together in prayer.

"Please, Your Majesty, God! Please save Xiaohua and drive away the evil spirits that are following us. I will agree to whatever the cost!"

Fearing that the gods might hear the prayers but ignore them due to the lack of offerings, Yotsuya Miko verbally promised a very expensive price.

"Oh?"

Suddenly, a surprised female voice appeared briefly in Yotsuya Miko's mind, as if it were a hallucination.

"Is any price acceptable?"

Inside the shrine, the beings that had been sleeping there slowly opened their eyes after hearing Yotsuya Miko's prayer.

However, after only one glance at Yotsuya Miko, the unknown being was disappointed.

A girl with the ability to see evil spirits is indeed crucial to human exorcists, but in its eyes, Yotsuya Miko, who has not undergone training, is no more valuable than ordinary humans.

"Ok?"

Just as the unknown entity was about to continue its slumber, it suddenly glanced at Yurikawa Hana beside Yotsuya Miko.

"Such a powerful life force!"

With just one glance, the unknown being's gaze was fixed on Yurikawa Hana's body.

If only we could obtain this power...

Looking at Yurikawa Hana, the unknown entity's mind suddenly stirred.

Although it really wanted to rush out and devour the girl, as a side effect of occupying the shrine, it had to adhere to the principle of 'exchange' at this moment.

"I'm willing to do anything to get rid of the evil spirits behind me..."

Miko Yotsuya's prayers rang out again, and smiles immediately appeared on the faces of those at the shrine.

The girl with black hair said she was willing to do anything.

Once it eliminates the small creature outside, the law of exchange will automatically complete its process...

.

The multi-armed evil spirit lingered in front of the torii gate, appearing unusually hesitant.

On one hand, it didn't want to be left behind by Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana, but on the other hand, the abandoned shrine in front of it gave it a strong feeling of unease.

It was as if some monster was hiding in the shrine, ready to burst out and tear it to pieces at any moment.

But how is this possible?

Although its current strength is only at the peak of the Special Grade, it was once a peak Ghost Emperor, below the level of Ghost God.

What other being, besides ghosts and spirits, could cause it to feel so uneasy?

Moreover, the three demons in the Kanto region all reside in the evil spirits' alternate dimension, and their whereabouts have always been monitored by exorcists. How could they possibly have come to the shrine in front of us?

"It's just an illusion!"

After constantly reassuring himself, and hesitating for nearly five minutes, the multi-armed demon finally stepped over the scarlet torii gate and broke into the shrine.

"Wow!"

The moment the multi-armed evil spirit stepped into the shrine, countless golden and black chains attacked from all directions.

Then, two small fox-masked figures, their bodies radiating wisps of black energy but with golden skin, slowly rose from the ground.

"God?"

Upon seeing the chains, the multi-armed demon's face showed a hint of astonishment and confusion.

Using chains constructed from divine power as weapons is indeed a common application of divine power by the gods.

But what about the layer of black mist attached to its divine power?

However, no one came to answer the questions surrounding the multi-armed evil spirit.

After the masked figure crawled out of the ground, it quickly manipulated the surrounding chains to bind the multi-armed demon's body, then contracted...

Seeing the newly emerged, seemingly allied little man suppress the multi-armed evil spirit, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but clench her fists excitedly, silently cheering for the little man.

However, the little man to whom she had placed such great hope was pulled from the ground and transported into the air by the multi-armed evil spirit.

Immediately afterwards, the multi-armed demon unleashed countless punches, and in less than a second, the two little figures who had only been on the scene for less than a minute were reduced to fragments scattered on the ground.

"........."

The air froze instantly.

Yotsuya Miko stared in disbelief at the multi-armed evil spirit that was closing in on her and Yurikawa Hana step by step.

She simply couldn't accept the fact that the gods had been defeated.

"I underestimate you."

Suddenly, a faint sound came from above.

Upon hearing the sound, the multi-armed demon's face instantly turned serious.

The next second, a giant fox, pure white with nine tails and shrouded in black mist, slowly emerged from mid-air.

"A nine-tailed fox?!"

Upon seeing the creature in the air, the multi-armed evil spirit instantly recognized the fox's identity.

Without the slightest hesitation, it turned and fled towards the outside of the torii gate.

However, a whooshing sound came, and then the nine-tailed fox used one of its tails to precisely sweep the multi-armed evil spirit away from in front of the torii gate.

"Wait, I'm willing to submit!"

Sweeped into the air by its tail, the multi-armed demon immediately cried out in surrender.

Although it is unclear how the nine-tailed fox was resurrected, the multi-armed demon is certain that it is desperately short of minions.

Therefore, if it chooses to submit, the nine-tailed fox will most likely spare its life.

"Unfortunately."

However, things did not unfold as the multi-armed demon had imagined.

The nine-tailed fox showed little interest in being followed by a former Ghost Emperor who is now a top-tier evil spirit.

Clearly, compared to a dispensable subordinate, Yurikawa's immense vitality was more attractive to it.

Without giving the multi-armed demon a chance to speak, the nine-tailed fox opened its huge mouth and grabbed the multi-armed demon in mid-air, then tore it apart and swallowed it whole.
