The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

Instead, she looked at the low-level evil spirits around her and laughed contemptuously...

A few minutes later, as the last evil spirit's scream faded away, the battle in the alley came to an end.

After sheathing his sword and calming down after a period of fighting, Mei Isayama decided to end the hunt for evil spirits that night.

However, just as she was about to leave, a highly threatening source of spiritual energy suddenly appeared in her perception.

"Is this a Level A fluctuation?"

Upon noticing the presence of a high-level evil spirit nearby, Mei Isayama's expression changed.

Although it is already late at night, if we leave an A-level creature unattended, the losses it causes in one night will be enormous!

Moreover, her current location is quite remote; it would likely take at least half an hour for exorcism personnel from both the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of Defense to arrive...

And most importantly, the Ministry of Defense's exorcism personnel currently only have a record of successfully defeating B-rank spirits! On the other hand, with the temporary absence of Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura, the two main forces of the Ministry of Nature, their combat strength has also dropped significantly.

"Those people can't handle this evil spirit!"

Mei Isayama swiftly delivered her verdict, and after hesitating for a moment, she began to move toward the evil spirit.

.........

Finding the location of the evil spirit is even simpler than what Isayama imagined.

Unlike his previous evil spirits that roamed freely, this time Mei Isayama's target has remained stationary ever since it was revealed.

"child?"

Upon arriving at the location where the spiritual energy source was emanating, a thin figure quickly came into Isayama Mei's line of sight.

"Oh, nice to meet you. My name is Sanzu River..."

Seeing that they had successfully attracted Mei Isayama, Sanzukawa and Hiroko raised their hands to introduce themselves, but suddenly felt as if something had pierced their hearts.

He looked down at his heart and saw a gleaming dagger being slowly withdrawn from his body, its hilt held by Isayama Mei...

Did you attack before I even finished speaking?

A hint of helplessness flashed across Sanzu River and Hiroshi's faces.

Compared to Yomi Isayama, Mei Isayama seems to have difficulty having normal conversations.

"not dead?"

Just as Sanzu River and Hiro were feeling somewhat disappointed that they couldn't have a proper conversation with Mei Isayama, Mei Isayama frowned as he looked at the evil spirit disguised as a human.

The next second, the katana in her hand was suddenly grabbed by Sanzu River and Hiroshi.

With a crisp sound, a bloody spray appeared on Isayama Mei's chest, and he collapsed helplessly to the ground.

Chapter 329 is still two short.

"The human body is so fragile."

Looking at Mei Isayama lying at his feet, Kazuhiro Sanzukawa shook his head.

Both had their cores pierced by the blade, but he could quickly recover thanks to the powerful life force granted by the Sessho-seki, while Mei Isayama could only watch helplessly as his blood flowed continuously from the wound.

“Hey, I have a question for you.”

Sanzu River and Hiroshi squatted down beside Mei Isayama, lifted her chin with their right hand, and asked her a question while looking at her disheveled appearance.

Why did you refuse the Lion King?

Mei Isayama trains incredibly hard every day, all for the sake of one day surpassing Yomi Isayama and taking back everything that rightfully belongs to him.

However, when his goal was within easy reach, Mei Isayama gave it up.

Sanzu River and Hiro really couldn't understand why there were such stupid people in the world.

"Ahem, what's it to you?"

The blood in my body is rapidly draining away, and I can feel my vitality waning.

With difficulty, Mei Isayama raised his hand, gathering spiritual power between his fingers in an attempt to launch an attack.

However, Sanzukawa and Hiroshi simply couldn't be bothered with Isayama Mei's little tricks.

"what?"

The attack launched by Mei Isayama began to dissipate rapidly when it hit Sanzukawa and Hiroshi's bodies a short distance away. In the end, it completely turned into spiritual energy and disappeared into the air without even touching the hem of Sanzukawa and Hiroshi's clothes.

"Are you aware of the difference in our strength?"

Seeing the bewildered look on Isayama Mei's face, Sanzu River and Hiroshi asked with a hint of pity in their voices.

As one of his carefully chosen key pieces, Kazuhiro Sanzukawa had also deliberately collected information about Mei Isayama.

Looking back on Mei Isayama's life over the past ten years, it can only be described as a tragedy.

Because the head of the Isayama family, Isayama Naraku, had no children, Isayama Mei, the daughter of the head of the family's younger brother, was initially groomed to be the future head of the family.

However, Isayama Naraku suddenly went mad and adopted Isayama Yomi, who was exceptionally talented in both swordsmanship and cultivation, as his adopted daughter. In the end, he even decided to hand over the position of head of the family to that outsider, Isayama Yomi, in the future.

Everything that should have belonged to you was suddenly taken away, and in the end, you even had to live forever in the shadow of that outsider, unable to turn your life around!

"You were already under immense pressure, yet in the end you gave up on a victory that was within your grasp. Your thinking is truly unfathomable."

Shaking his head, after realizing that Mei Isayama was about to die, Sanzukawa and Hiroshi said nothing more, but instead pried a small piece of the Killing Stone from their own eyes and placed it into Mei Isayama's wound.

"What are you doing?!"

As he watched Sanzukawa and Hiro put the unknown object into their bodies, Mei Isayama's tone became anxious.

She was not afraid of death, but she could not accept the outcome of being controlled by Sanzu River and Hiro to do bad things after she died!

"Aren't you all curious about why Isayama Yomi has been unconscious for so long?"

Faced with Mei Isayama's questioning, Kazuhiro Sanzukawa curled the corners of his mouth.

He then pinned down Isayama Mei's struggling body and summoned a butterfly from the void, imprinting it on her forehead.

Once all the preparations were completed.

Suddenly, Sanzu River and Hiroshi grabbed Isayama Mei by the neck with both hands.

"!!!"

A feeling of suffocation instantly flooded Mei Isayama's mind.

Helplessness, regret, resentment, a longing for power, and a hope that someone would come to her rescue flashed through her mind.

However, nothing changed until the very end...

Sensing that Mei Isayama's struggles were growing weaker, Sanzukawa and Hiroshi looked down at the wound on Mei Isayama's heart.

As the heart's pulse weakened, the Sesshoseki, lodged in the crevices of his heart, slowly began to melt, mixing with Mei Isayama's blood.

Another minute or so passed.

Mei Isayama had completely lost consciousness.

However, despite having stopped breathing and having stopped beating, Mei Isayama's bodily functions did not weaken; on the contrary, they were rapidly improving!

"With these, the puppet is now complete, right?"

Even though only one person remained at the scene, Sanzu River and Hiro began communicating with thin air.

【………】

A few seconds of silence fell over the air.

Sanzu River and Hiroshi's previously calm faces suddenly revealed an expression of disgust.

"I've already made two for you, isn't that enough?"

The air was quiet again.

Suddenly, Sanzu River and Hiro burst into a rage and slammed their fists into the wall next to them.

"You want me to make two?! Don't you know how troublesome it is to make one?! And there's only one spare left, where am I supposed to find another one?!"

【............】

"I understand. I'll figure out how to handle the materials. In return, you need to speed up my work as well. Otherwise..."

At this point, Sanzu River and Hiroshi suddenly paused.

But both he and the person he was talking to understood what Sanzukawa and Hiroshi's retaliation would be after the breach of contract.

........

Upon realizing that his work was not yet completed, Sanzukawa and Hiroshi instantly lost all interest in Isayama Mei, who had already been transformed.

After casually abandoning Isayama Mei on the roadside and placing the broken katana beside her, creating the illusion of a fierce battle, Sanzukawa and Hiroshi headed towards the Tsuchimiya family's location.

If Sanzukawa and Hiroshi remember correctly, their next target, Tsuchimiya Kagura, has a particularly good relationship with Isayama Yomi.

Using Isayama Yomi as bait, he should be able to deal with Tsuchimiya Kagura quite easily.

"boom!"

Just as Sanzukawa and Hiroshi were devising a plan to deal with Tsuchimiya Kagura, a stream of spiritual energy suddenly shot out from a distant tower.

Although Sanzu River and Hiro managed to turn their heads in time to dodge the sneak attack, as a price, they also stopped moving at high speed.

Then, the very next second after he had stood still, a middle-aged man with a haggard face, wearing a brown kimono, and with a killing stone the size of a pigeon egg embedded in the back of his hand appeared in front of him.

"What an honor. I never expected that Tsuchimiya Gagaku, the number one psychic in Tokyo, would personally deal with someone as insignificant as me~"

Upon seeing the full appearance of the middle-aged man standing before him, Sanzu River and Hiroshi's eyes narrowed instantly, but even so, he maintained a flippant tone in his speech.

"Powerful unknown evil spirit, rest in peace here today."

Tsuchimiya Yagaku had no intention of wasting words with Sanzukawa and Hirota, given his current poor physical condition.

In fact, if he hadn't realized that Sanzukawa and Hiroshi were about to infiltrate the Tsuchimiya family's residence, he wouldn't have made a move tonight at all!

Chapter 330 Sleeping in late is not allowed.

"I'm sorry, I have no intention of fighting you in your current state."

Just as Tsuchimiya Yagaku was forming hand seals in an attempt to keep Sanzukawa Kazuhiro from leaving, Sanzukawa Kazuhiro's body suddenly disintegrated into countless butterflies that scattered in all directions.
