The demon extended its steel-hard claws toward Tiga.

"There's only one way out: death!"

The demon's claws reached even closer to Tiga. After barely dodging the attack, Tiga kicked it, but the demon's body only swayed slightly. Then, Tiga jumped up and chopped it in the neck with a chop.

This time, however, it grabbed Tiga's wrist tightly and threw him out. After spinning several times in the air, Tiga landed on the ground and immediately switched to the posture of attacking again, not giving the demon a chance to breathe.

! ?

Unfortunately, Tiga was unable to move. The towering trees around the stage stretched out their branches, which stretched out softly like whips and wrapped around Tiga's body.

"This forest has long been one with me."

The demon stretched out its long, sharp claws and approached the immobilized Tiga.

"go to hell!"

The demon stretched its claws toward Tiga's chest, and just then, a loud "bang" was heard.

Tiga heard the sound of metal breaking. At that critical moment, the demon's claws were severed by something, and the severed claws were deeply embedded in the ground.

"You bitch!"

At this moment, the evil spirit realized something and turned around with hatred in its eyes, saying:

"I warned you not to interfere!"

Behind the demon, a blurry white figure appeared. As the blurry figure became clearer, Daigo could see that it was a white fox the same size as the demon, with nine tails in total.

At the same time, Ida Iryu couldn't believe his eyes; he never expected to see Haruna and Yumeko in the forest.

How did they get here?

Ida Iryu approached the two men and asked sternly:

Why have you come here?

His loud voice startled the two little girls, who felt as if their hearts were about to stop beating. However, after confirming who it was, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why have you two come to this dangerous place!"

Jingtian Jinglong repeated it again, and the two little girls were no longer afraid.

"We'll be fine, we have amulets!"

"Yep!"

"what?"

Jing Tianjinglong frowned.

Haruna took out the hairpin from her hand and held it in front of Ida Iryu.

"This is the amulet."

Jing Tianjinglong stared blankly at the hairpin.

This is....

Ida Iryu reached out and grabbed the hairpin from Haruna's hand. He held it up to his eyes and examined it closely. Ida Iryu's lips trembled slightly. Haruna and Yumeko looked at the man in front of them with incredulous eyes, because they felt that he seemed about to cry.

"Where did you find this hairpin?"

After finally calming down from his excitement, Ida Iryu asked Haruna a question.

"It was given to me by the woman who saved me, in the forest."

"A woman...so, she's still alive..."

Hey!

Suddenly, a deafening sound rang out, sounding like the screams of a giant creature.

"fox!?"

Jing Tianjinglong started running as if by reflex, still clutching the hairpin in his hand.

"How's it going, little fox?"

On the other side, on the battlefield unseen by Ida Ryu, even though Daigo was trying his best to stop the demon's actions, the demon still achieved his goal. He revealed a sinister smile and pressed closer and closer to the white fox. At this moment, bright red blood kept dripping from the white fox's right foot.

Where should we cut this time?

The demon rubbed its claws together, licked its lips, and whispered threats. The white fox, seizing the moment the demon approached, bristled; in an instant, its fur transformed into poisonous needles, flying towards the demon.

"presumptuous!"

The demon flicked its long white hair, knocking away all the poison needles that flew towards it.

"Um!?"

In the blink of an eye, the white fox vanished from the demon's sight.

"hateful!"

The evil spirit hurriedly looked up at the sky. Taking advantage of the moment when the evil spirit was dealing with the poison needles, the white fox leaped directly above the evil spirit and descended rapidly.

"Hey!"

"Waaaaaaah!"

With a muffled groan, the demon became extremely painful and let out a withered roar that seemed to come from deep within its body.

It failed...

The white fox clicked its tongue in annoyance. It had intended to bite the demon's head, but it dodged in time. However, the white fox still managed to tear off the demon's ear. It spat the ear out and then collapsed to its knees, utterly defeated. The white fox had been prepared to die with the demon. Yet, it had only managed to take one of its opponent's ears in return.

At this moment, blood was gushing from the white fox's left paw. It turned out that while the evil spirit had turned its head to dodge, it had also extended its sharp claws and struck the white fox. Now, with both paws injured, the white fox was completely unable to move.

"You bastard, you vile beast!"

The evil spirit cursed in a very gloomy tone. Perhaps due to the surge of hatred, a hint of crimson shone through its white hair. The evil spirit kicked the white fox with a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. The white fox was powerless to dodge and was kicked away like a ball, bouncing far after landing.

"I won't let you die a quick death!"

It flung its long hair at the white fox, which then wrapped it around the fox's neck, suffocating it and forcing out painful cries from its throat.

"I'm going to torture you properly!"

The demon's expression turned ferocious with hatred.

"I'll make you suffer to the fullest, and then I'll send you to meet the King of Hell!"

The evil spirit vented all its hatred on the white fox, but this led to an oversight. It was completely unaware that Jing Tianjinglong was approaching it from behind.

Jingtian Jinglong ran and climbed up from behind the evil spirit.

"what!"

The evil spirit discovered Jing Tianjinglong, but it was too late.

"You evil spirit, you're going to see the King of Hell!"

Jingtian Jinglong spotted the wound where the demon's ear had been torn off and plunged the hairpin in his hand deep into it. The demon felt a tingling, electric-like sensation throughout its body.

"You, you, you, you did, you did what!?"

The demon could no longer speak coherently, and its body began to tremble slightly. At the same time, its demonic magic gradually weakened.

"Now! The One of Light!"

"Ida Ryu shouted loudly, and Tiga nodded slightly, breaking free from the weakened tree restraints. He then immediately distanced himself from the demon, crossed his arms, and fired the Zeperion Ray. Struck by the ray, the demon let out a shrill scream and collapsed dead. The storm-like, chaotic forest finally returned to tranquility."

At the same time, the white fox's body was enveloped in a beam of light, and then the white fox transformed into an injured woman. Jing Tianjinglong rushed to her side and held her in his arms:

"fox..."

"warrior...."

"Could it be... you didn't use a hairpin?"

The woman nodded weakly, forcing a smile as she replied:

“I know you have returned to this forest.”

"Then why did you stand up and fight it?"

Jingtian Jinglong gently stroked the woman's cheek and said:

"You didn't have to take action."

The woman laughed suddenly and replied in a hoarse voice:

"It's because when I saw those two people, I couldn't help but think of the scene of my husband and daughter being killed."

The white fox was moved by the love between Daigo and Rena, which is why it disregarded its own life and chose to fight the demon.

"Enough about me, samurai. I have a question. Has the sorcerer who killed my husband and daughter......"

At this point, the woman had already lost consciousness.

"fox!"

The woman had already breathed her last and passed away. Jing Tianjinglong held her in his arms and shed tears.

"You've lived so long, why must you leave this world today! At least... at least give me a little more time! I've already killed your enemy, my demonic blade cleanly severed his head... Fox, fox, can you hear me! I've avenged you!"

Jing Tianjinglong held the white fox in his arms, calling out in a broken voice, as if trying to convey the settled cause and effect to the white fox's ears, and hoping that this answer could give her the hope of 'life'.
