The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

"Ok?"

Sanzu River and Hiroshi arrived at Komachi's side, preparing to take her away, when suddenly he seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky.

Countless talismans rained down from the sky, and then, for the first time, Hachiman Hikigaya appeared before him, radiating rage...

With a flash of sword light, Sanzu River and Hiroshi's outstretched hand toward Komachi was instantly severed and fell to the ground.

This time, Sanzu River and Hiro were unable to transform into butterflies to evade the attack as usual!

"Ah?"

With their ability failing to activate, Sanzu River and Hiroshi were clearly somewhat bewildered.

He looked down at his right arm lying on the ground and stared blankly for a few seconds before realizing that he was injured.

"Can't the Killing Stone heal wounds?"

Clutching the massive wound on his right side, Sanzu River and Hiro began to retreat towards the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The loss of the powerful self-healing ability once granted by the Killing Stone made him somewhat panicked.

However, how could Hachiman Hikigaya let the guy who bullied his sister off so easily?

With a flash, he appeared behind Sanzu River and Hiroshi, his demon-slaying sword, wreathed in ghostly flames, slashing at Sanzu River's other arm.

"clang!"

The sound of metal clanging echoed through the street.

Sanzu River and Hiro stood behind the Nine-Tailed Fox, clutching their right arm and panting heavily, still shaken.

He was so close! If the Nine-Tailed Fox hadn't intervened in time to stop Hachiman Hikigaya's attack, he would have lost his only remaining arm!

"fox?"

The nine-tailed fox's half-human, half-fox appearance brought Hachiman Hikigaya back to his senses somewhat from his rage.

After all, in his mind, only people from the Inari Shrine would have a fox-like appearance.

However, the next second, Hachiman Hikigaya rejected the conjecture that the nine-tailed fox belonged to the Inari Shrine, since no fox from the Inari Shrine would be shrouded in black aura belonging to evil spirits.

Moreover, even if it really is a fox from the Inari Shrine, it has to die if it dares to touch Komachi!

"Troublesome guy..."

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya enter in a rage, the Nine-Tailed Fox's face was now as black as the bottom of a pot.

Although it had never dealt with Hachiman Hikigaya before, it had heard of some of his deeds.

Considering the shared energy within Komachi and that of Hachiman Hikigaya, and the fact that Hachiman Hikigaya was ready to fight her to the death, the Nine-Tailed Fox immediately understood that it had chosen the wrong target this time.

However, since they have already chosen to take action, it means that there is absolutely no room for reconciliation.

"I'll hold him off, you take the target and go."

The fourth piece of puppet material that we finally found is definitely not something we can easily give up.

Moreover, although Hachiman Hikigaya went berserk because Komachi was attacked, his strength was still only at the level of the Demon Emperor.

Having been freed for so long, the Nine-Tailed Fox's strength has long since recovered to the level of a low-level demon god.

How could a ghost or god possibly lose to the Ghost Emperor?

After all, even if it's just a matter of attrition, the nine-tailed fox can wear down this human to death!

"Want to go?"

Upon hearing the Nine-Tailed Fox's explanation to Hiro and Sanzu River, Hachiman Hikigaya sneered.

Not only did he injure Komachi and Totsuka Saika, but he also tried to leave with his sister?

That was quite a beautiful dream!

"Spirit Locking Array!"

With a low roar from Hachiman Hikigaya, the space within a radius of several hundred meters rapidly separated from the main world and transformed into an independent small space.

"Space ability?"

Faced with Hachiman Hikigaya's ability, the Nine-Tailed Fox was slightly taken aback, and then she also manipulated the power of space to begin organizing the formation of a small space.

"Was the skill not completely successful?"

Looking at the space that was half night and half day, Hachiman Hikigaya took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily.

The specific reason for the skill's failure wasn't important; what mattered was that he was currently in a very bad mood and desperately needed to vent his frustration on these two guys!

Chapter 340 The Death of Santuhe and Hong

Within the spirit-locking array, booming explosions rang out intermittently.

With the power of Sun Breathing, Hachiman Hikigaya charged towards the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The Nine-Tailed Fox, who had noticed the Demon-Slaying Blade's devastating effects on her during the previous fight, saw Hachiman Hikigaya charging at her again.

It frowned, gathered two energy balls in its palms, and threw them at Hachiman Hikigaya. Then, with a leap, it widened the distance between them again.

"What exactly is wrong with that guy?"

After fighting for so long, the Nine-Tailed Fox is no longer as confident as she was before the battle.

Although it has a level advantage over Hachiman Hikigaya, the difference in strength between the two doesn't seem significant.

Moreover, the sword in Hachiman Hikigaya's hand had a strong restraining effect on it, making it wonder if the sword was tailor-made for it.

In a daze, the nine-tailed fox, who was thinking about the Demon-Slaying Blade, became distracted.

Immediately, a vast stream of spiritual energy rushed towards it.

"what?!"

Sensing the immense spiritual energy fluctuations before her, the nine-tailed fox raised her head in surprise.

After they've been fighting for so long, how could Hachiman Hikigaya still have such a strong spiritual energy fluctuation?

However, what the nine-tailed fox didn't expect was that this was just the beginning!

This is a skill that Hachiman Hikigaya has followed since he became an exorcist.

After experiencing so many battles, the Spirit Flow Technique was also developed and modified by Hachiman Hikigaya.

However, because the Spirit Flow Technique consumes a great deal of spiritual energy, Hachiman Hikigaya was unwilling to use such a technique until he obtained a fragment of the Holy Grail and had a world as a source of spiritual energy.

Now that he has essentially unlimited spiritual power, Hachiman Hikigaya naturally has no worries about using the modified Spirit Flow Technique to drain himself dry.

Moreover, on the way here, he had already fused with the Sesshoseki he obtained from Tsuchimiya Kagura.

With the combined healing power of the Sessho-seki and the 'Terrestrial Paradise', he had no worries about his body being damaged by overuse of spiritual energy!

.

A tidal wave of silver spiritual energy swept across the ground and rushed toward the nine-tailed fox.

For the first time in battle, the nine-tailed fox was suppressed by the enemy using the quantity of spiritual power, and decisively transformed from human form into its true form.

It was accompanied by a deafening roar.

A white fox, over thirty meters tall, shrouded in dark, malevolent energy, and with nine tails, appeared before Hachiman Hikigaya.

After the transformation was complete, the originally vast stream of spiritual energy was like a small splash of water in front of the nine-tailed fox.

It raised its right front paw and slammed it heavily onto the ground.

Instantly, the ground began to crumble and shake violently.

The momentum of the Spirit Stream, which had been unstoppable, came to an abrupt halt, but then Hachiman Hikigaya launched another attack.

More spiritual energy flowed out of his body, and in just a few seconds, the volume of the spiritual energy flow expanded several times again!

Under Hachiman Hikigaya's control, the spirit stream split into several tributaries, each attacking the Nine-Tailed Fox from different directions.

Faced with the onslaught, the nine-tailed fox suddenly erupted with black energy, and countless black tentacles extended from its body, intertwining with the spiritual currents...

"We meet again."

Just as the Nine-Tailed Fox was slashing at the Spirit Stream, Hachiman Hikigaya, while distracted by dealing with it, arrived in front of Sanzu River and Hiroshi.

"I didn't expect you to still have the energy even under these circumstances?"

Sanzukawa and Hiroshi looked at Hachiman Hikigaya with complicated expressions.

He originally thought that with the Nine-Tailed Fox around, Hachiman Hikigaya wouldn't have time to deal with him.

But the result was...

"Spare energy? How could I possibly have something like that?"

Looking at the solemn expressions of Sanzukawa and Hiro, Hachiman Hikigaya snorted coldly.

The Ghost Emperor had spare strength when fighting ghosts and gods; he didn't have such a luxurious fighting style.

"Why then?"

"Why come looking for you when I've already used all my strength to deal with that guy?"

Hachiman Hikigaya tightened his grip on the demon-slaying sword, his gaze towards Kazuhiro Sanzukawa gradually turning murderous.

"Smart, capable of all household chores, and although occasionally mischievous, she's always reliable in crucial moments. She's also an adorable little sister who always likes to cling to me and act spoiled. I've never even dared to scold or hit Komachi since she was little... and you dared to hurt her?!"

Having said that, Hachiman Hikigaya could no longer contain his anger. He flashed in front of Kazuhiro Sanzukawa and threw a left hook at his face!

"boom!"

The fist struck Sanzukawa and Hiro's cheeks, making a loud noise accompanied by the sound of bones cracking.

"Cough cough..."

After rolling around on the ground several times, Sanzu River and Hiro finally managed to stop and stagger to their feet.

He was about to say something when he suddenly felt a sweet taste in his throat.

Immediately afterwards, a mouthful of blood mixed with several teeth spurted from his mouth.

We have to escape...

Completely surprised by the terrifying power of Hachiman Hikigaya after his forbidden possession was triggered, Kazuhiro Sanzukawa felt a pang of regret.
