Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

As the first divine messenger, Shimizu Suzune is undoubtedly the backbone of the Shinto Hall, so she wants to stay in the Shinto Hall to prevent it from being attacked by the enemy.

Risa Ishikawa, on the other hand, has it much easier. She's now like a clerk, just staying in the office drinking tea and slacking off.

It was 3 p.m. in the afternoon.

Fujita Mino finally came to work, but she just clocked in and out, and after only a few minutes in the Shinto Hall, she said she had to go out on patrol.

Today, Kitamura Eri didn't follow her owner out; instead, she stayed at her owner's house and slept soundly.

There's no way around it; a little girl like her, if she goes out during the day, is like ice cream under the scorching sun—she practically melts as soon as she sees the light.

So, Fujita Mino would ride her bicycle around "patrolling" outside by herself, looking for any arrogant or reckless brats. If she bumped into them on the street, she would just kill them, which could be considered as doing a good deed for the people.

Furthermore, unlike the other divine messengers, Fujita Mino was mindful of potential dangers even in times of peace, and was still worried that the Demon King might cause trouble.

Even without the Demon King Sachiko Hanako, there is still the Mirage Tower and Enma Ai.

Speaking of mirages...

Very strange.

Even though this sea monster is still lurking in Tokyo Bay, the people of Tokyo and the Shinto government completely ignore its existence, as if the mirage poses no threat to the city whatsoever.

For this reason, Fujita Mino's main focus remained on the Mirage Tower, constantly monitoring the changes along the coast.

If the demonic power were to come ashore, Fujita Mino would not hesitate to charge to the front line of the shore—the divine messenger basking in the sunlight could be said to be fearless.

Fujita Mino rode her bicycle to a place relatively close to Tokyo Bay, got off, locked her bike, and walked along the shore with an umbrella.

Despite the sweltering summer heat, she enjoys the feeling; as long as she isn't constantly exposed to direct sunlight, she feels very comfortable.

With the sunlight shining through, Fujita Mino felt that she could defeat three demon kings all by herself, including Hanako Sachiko, Shinkirou, and Enma Ai.

Wait, under the sunlight?

And the Mirage Tower, has it always been a stationary target? Only known to lurk deep beneath the sea, stirring up the ocean?

Does this mean that I can start picking a fight with Mirage Tower right now? Fujita Mino suddenly had this bold idea.

She quickly returned to the bicycle, plopped down on the seat, and put the sunshade in the basket.

Then, I increased the power and pedaled hard, and suddenly I was able to go more than ten meters.

With the combined blessing of sunlight and divine power, Fujita Mino is now incredibly strong. She rides a bicycle at a speed comparable to a car, and in no time, she arrives at Tokyo Bay on the wind.

I got out of the car, and it was parked on the side of the road.

Fujita Mino stood on the shore, gazing at the distant coastline, and saw the sea monster Mirage, which was still lurking in the seabed.

Fujita Mino took out her phone, typed "I'm going to test my skills with the Mirage Tower" on it, sent it to Shimizu Rin, then turned on airplane mode before putting the phone in her pocket.

Then, after taking a deep breath, Fujita Mino summoned the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi and raised the sword high.

She is gathering divine power.

As she chanted, the mirage in the seabed seemed to sense the anomaly on land and began to stir the seawater, creating gusts of storm on the surface.

These storms are tornadoes.

There were three tornadoes in total, and without exception, they all stirred up large amounts of seawater, rushing towards this place like a tidal wave.

At that moment, Fujita Mino swung the Ama-no-Murakumo sword, and a divine light burst forth from the sword, slashing towards the three tornadoes.

"Boom!"

Under the attack of the divine light, the three tornadoes were instantly destroyed, and the water in mid-air poured down like a torrential rain onto the sea surface.

That's right, it was scattered on the sea surface. These tornadoes had just formed and had not yet made landfall when they were already destroyed by divine power and scattered.

Even so, the huge water droplets falling and splashing still affected Fujita Mino, who was on land.

Water droplets dampened the hem of her shrine maiden's dress, but it wasn't a big problem. With the sun so strong, she could easily gather the sunlight and evaporate the water off her body.

As the divine messenger chanted and focused the light, after about ten seconds, the moisture on the shrine maiden's clothes and even on the ground was almost completely evaporated, and she felt dry again.

Therefore, the first round ended in a draw.

Fujita Mino then raised her longsword again, preparing to gather divine power a second time to strike the sea monster.

This time, however, the sea monster was not able to gather three tornadoes again so quickly. It looked very weak, so weak that it could not even stir up a single tornado on the surface of the sea again.

But Fujita Mino didn't care about any of that. As she finished chanting, the immense divine power gathered in the lightsaber in her hand had nowhere to go, and golden flashes kept falling from the lightsaber.

Then, Fujita Mino used her divine power to spring up into the air, finally able to see the entire Mirage Tower.

That mirage is actually a giant crab with a dark building on its back. Currently, because the seabed is too dark and there is no ghostly power on the building, its shape is not very clear.

But it doesn't matter, there's no need to see what it is. Fujita Mino then flung the Ama-no-Murakumo sword forward and launched the gathered divine power orb.

"thump--!"

The ball of light entered the water, but it did not create the huge splash that one might expect, nor did it explode. The ball of light simply sank down, heading straight for the mirage in the ocean.

The mirage in the ocean, perhaps because it was too big to dodge, or perhaps because it was frightened, didn't move at all and was hit directly by the ball of light.

The next second—

"BOOM—!!"

As if a depth charge had been dropped, a shockwave rising from the seabed broke through the surface and shot straight into the sky like a rocket.

The waves that were blasted up were as high as dozens of stories high, and it looked like they were about to cause a tsunami. Fujita Mino quickly used the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword again to use its divine power to form an invisible wall on the land, blocking all the impact of the explosion.

The surging waves lasted only a short time before gradually calming down. Fujita Mino used her divine power to enhance her eyesight and see the situation on the seabed.

The result was that no remains of the mirage were found, and no crab-related remains were found on the seabed, but a large crater created by the explosion could be seen.

The move that Fujita Mino just used didn't have a name; it was simply a projectile formed by the convergence of divine power—a straightforward and powerful divine force.

Fujita Mino firmly believes that even if the Demon King Hanako Sachiko came, she wouldn't be able to withstand this move head-on, let alone the Mirage Tower, which is not yet fully developed.

So...

The Mirage Tower has been destroyed?

Is it really that simple?

If it were nighttime, then Fujita Mino had no doubt that something had gone wrong; either the Mirage had escaped, or it had used some kind of trick to deceive people.

The problem is that the explosion just now not only stirred up seawater, but also untapped ghostly power.

These ghostly powers, having lost their master, scattered and fled into the air and sea.

The defeated demonic power was like pigs that had broken free of their pen; Fujita Mino alone could no longer catch them all.

But precisely because they are "pigs," these escaped ghosts are harmless and will not cause harm to humans.

The only side effect of this ghostly power is that it spreads into the sky, partially blocking out the sunlight.

Many of the escaped demons were of similar size to the Mirage Tower, according to Fujita Mino's rough calculation. It was certain that the Mirage Tower had been destroyed in a single shot.

To be honest, even Fujita Mino didn't expect that she could destroy the quasi-demon king, Shinkirou, so easily.

Thinking about these things, Fujita Mino slightly withdrew her divine power and slowly descended from the sky.

He took his phone out of his hand, turned off airplane mode, and then prepared to compose a text message to send to Shimizu Rinne.

At that moment, a flood of messages poured into Fujita Mino's phone, all from Shimizu Rinne, all expressing concern for her.

Fujita Mino glanced at the information casually, then clicked the input box and replied: "Don't worry, I've already taken care of the Mirage Tower."

After putting her phone away, Fujita Mino began walking along the beach to double-check whether the mirage had been completely destroyed.

Just then, Fujita Mino noticed her phone ringing. She looked and saw it was Shimizu Reisen calling.

Chapter 160 Big Fish Eats Little Fish

Shinto Hall.

When Shimizu Suzune learned that Fujita Mino had gone to the beach to fight the Mirage Tower, she was extremely anxious.

She called Fujita Mino to ask which beach she was fighting the Mirage Tower on, but her phone was switched off.

It was impossible for Shimizu Suzune not to be anxious when she couldn't get through on the phone and didn't know where Fujita Mino was.

But she couldn't just search aimlessly, so she could only send the Shinto Office police inspectors out first and contact the police station near the coast to ask them to assist in investigating the mirage's activities.

That group of people were clearly just sitting around doing nothing; they waited for their reply until the flowers had withered.

Shimizu Suzune also asked Ooi Yushin, who was out doing commissions, to help find the person, but the other party was currently doing commissions and was temporarily unable to do so.

In this critical moment, Shimizu Rin received a text message from Fujita Mino, saying "I'm safe."

Upon receiving the message, Shimizu Rin finally breathed a sigh of relief and made the call without any hesitation.

The moment the call connected, Shimizu Suzune asked, "Hey, Fujita, where are you right now?"

The other person calmly replied, "In Tokyo Bay."

Shimizu Suzune hurriedly asked, "I just saw your text message. You've already taken care of the Mirage Tower?"

The other party laughed and said, "Yes, that behemoth has been smashed into thousands of small crabs by me."

The thousands of "little crabs" she mentioned refer to the ownerless ghosts that had been driven away and fled.

Without Fujita Mino herself needing to explain, Shimizu Suzune understood the meaning of "little crab".

However, Shimizu Suzune did not feel joy; instead, she said with concern, "Okay, you're not hurt, are you?"

The other party replied arrogantly, "Don't worry, I'm a divine messenger, how could I possibly get hurt? Besides, the sun is shining brightly right now, I'm not afraid at all!"

Upon hearing this, Shimizu Rin slowly put down her phone. She looked up at the sun outside the window and murmured, "How could I have forgotten about that..."

Then, he picked up the phone and said into the receiver, "Alright, you've done another great service. Go back to the Shinto Hall and collect your reward!"

I'll be back later.

After hanging up the phone and putting it down, Fujita Mino looked back at the sea.

What to say?

Fujita Mino still felt that even though it was noon, the mirage had collapsed too quickly, and the fact that it died without leaving a corpse made it feel unreal.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it?" That was the only way Fujita Mino could console herself.

She then rode her bicycle away from the scene in Tokyo Bay.
