In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

Mizuno's words carried a hint of self-reproach, but as soon as she finished speaking, she felt a strong hand on her head gently stroking her hair. Mizuno looked up and saw someone's gentle face.

"Don't worry, I will rescue them all, whether they are students or Principal Takizawa, I won't leave anyone behind! Because this is a promise I made to Mizuno-sensei!"

"The agreement..."

Mizuno repeated the word, a glimmer of light reappearing in his eyes. After nodding emphatically, Natsuki finally placed his hand on the doorknob.

Click!

Upon opening the door, a completely dark environment came into view. Just as Xia Mu was about to turn around and say something to Mizuno, the door suddenly closed again.

The next moment, the lights turned on automatically, and he saw the students floating on the ceiling and pairs of red eyes staring at him.

Unlike what Mizuno and Takizawa Suzune had seen before, from Natsuki's perspective, in addition to the group of students, there were also gusts of black mist surging around them. Combined with the surrounding lights, this scene became especially eerie!

"This must be the...mysterious phenomenon that Mizuno-sensei was talking about, right?"

Xia Mu murmured, but there wasn't much fear on her face.

In fact, if he had just transmigrated, even after being bombarded by various media outlets, he would probably have subconsciously felt fear.

However, after encountering ghosts multiple times, he seemed to have become accustomed to them. At least the forbidden ghost he had seen before had an oppressive aura that would have completely broken an ordinary person. Even though the scene before him was bizarre, it really couldn't stir up much emotion in him.

"So... who's the culprit? Come out here right now!"

Xia Mu shouted directly, his fist clenching unconsciously, the top of it trembling slightly, as if he was suppressing some kind of impulsive thought.

After he shouted, the students floating above suddenly spoke in unison: "You...you've finally come...we've been waiting for you for so long..."

"Huh? You know me?"

Xia Mu frowned and asked, and the students responded in unison again: "The organization's enemy... the one who defeated that great one... I've finally found him... We absolutely cannot let him go... You, a guy like you, live... I will put you to trial..."

"Trial? Don't be ridiculous!"

Xia Mu laughed, his words concealing suppressed anger: "I don't care what your purpose is in showing up, but since you've set your sights on Mizuno and these children, I absolutely will not allow this to happen!"

He raised his finger and pointed to the many students on the ceiling, saying, "However, judging from your tone just now, if I'm not mistaken, you should be from the Illuminati, right? As for the so-called 'master,' I'm sorry to say that I've had far too many enemies fall to my hands. It's just that those guys were too weak and happened to run into me, that's all!"

"shut up!"

The students suddenly interrupted Natsuki's words. Enveloped in wisps of black mist, Takizawa Rin's body slowly floated down from above. At this moment, black tear tracks extended from the corners of her eyes to behind her ears, and her face was filled with a hysterical expression, which was very different from the "cute and innocent" image that Natsuki remembered.

"The glory of that lord must not be tarnished by those damned humans! I have decided that, based on the contents of these humans' minds, I will soon inflict upon you the most terrifying punishment!"

"Don't worry, since this is punishment, I definitely won't let you die easily. I'll make you watch helplessly as your most important friends, family, and loved ones die one by one, in the most painful way in the world, hahahaha!"

Takizawa Rinne laughed wildly as she landed on the ground. After she landed, the students followed her and surrounded Natsuki. Everyone's face was filled with unrestrained laughter.

"I can tell you about my identity without any harm. For a dead man, knowing any number of secrets is of no use whatsoever!"

"My codename is [Wraith], and I'm ranked W in the organization. I used to be Lord [Deep Sea]'s right-hand man. Due to a temporary mission, I couldn't witness Lord [Deep Sea]'s promotion during the last Shibuya incident. What's most unbearable is that you actually defeated that lord!"

"The power of Lord [Deep Sea] is beyond the imagination of you damned humans. After his advancement, he is even expected to become the sixth member of the organization, but you actually ruined our plans!"

"As weak humans, you can't even imagine the power of forbidden species. I guess the reason why Lord [Deep Sea] failed is because you took advantage of the time when the Heavenly Dao descended and that Lord was at his weakest, and luckily found an opportunity. Otherwise, with the power of Lord [Deep Sea], weak humans wouldn't even be able to get close and would be killed on the spot!"

"However, since Lord [Deep Sea] has failed, I, who was once his right-hand man, will still restore the organization's glory and become his puppet forever!"

At this moment, the students—no, perhaps they should be called "vengeful spirits"—controlled everyone to raise their hands while unleashing their ghostly power upon Xia Mu. Gusts of inexplicable black mist spread from the students' hands, forming large black hands that reached out towards Xia Mu in the center!

Tear!

In the blink of an eye, these large black hands completely wrapped around Xia Mu's limbs, chest, neck, and even his head, leaving no room for escape.

"Got you! What a disgusting stench. The thought that Lord [Deep Sea] fell at the hands of a damned human like you makes me want to..."

"I said, have you finished saying your last words before you died?"

"Ah?"

……

Chapter 213 It's you!

"I said, have you finished saying your last words before you died?"

Xia Mu raised his head, his eyes, which were now fixed on the [Wraith], were burning with "raging fire," and even the cross-shaped holy mark inside was trembling violently, a manifestation of his anger.

"Keep chattering away there, whether it's your Lord [Deep Sea] or whatever the reason, I don't care about that kind of thing!"

"If your target is me, that's fine, but since you've extended your clutches to the most important person in my life, then you'd better be prepared to die!"

"Did you hear that?"

For Natsuki, after he met Mizuno and learned about the situation, his emotions had been suppressed. It wasn't until the enemy finally appeared that Natsuki stopped forcibly suppressing his anger. The cross necklace on his chest even started to sway slowly with Natsuki's anger, emitting a faint glow.

"Ah?"

At this moment, the dozen or so pairs of eyes fixed on Xia Mu were startled by the words and fell into a brief state of astonishment. Realizing they had somewhat embarrassed themselves, they immediately shouted, "Damn humans, bury me here! Evil spirit burial!!!"

The next second, as the students raised their arms, black mist-formed claws emerged from their bodies. The claws were engraved with strange patterns, and their fingertips were exceptionally sharp. With a light sweep, they shredded the tables next to them, demonstrating their extraordinary destructive power!

Whoosh!

One after another, demonic claws darted through the space with a sharp whistling sound. When they reached Xia Mu, they all took on the most sinister postures. As soon as the first demonic claw touched Xia Mu, it suddenly turned back into black mist and dissipated.

"This is……"

The vengeful spirit hiding in the shadows widened its eyes upon seeing this scene, as if it had finally realized how "terrifying" the man before it was!

Whoosh!

Before the demonic claws could even get close to Xia Mu's body, they were completely shattered. Upon closer inspection, Xia Mu's fist moved slightly, and he actually used a high-speed swing to smash the demonic claws with his fist, which was mixed with the power of holy light, and shattered them one by one!

boom!

boom!

boom!

A series of explosions rang out between the students and Xia Mu. In just a short while, the once intimidating demonic claws vanished, leaving only wisps of black mist that slowly settled down, dispelling the oppressive and terrifying atmosphere that had been lingering in the activity room.

"How could... such a thing happen..."

The student controlled by the vengeful spirit uttered words of surprise, as if the way Xia Mu shattered the clutches of evil was enough to shock his worldview!

It seemed unaware that, apart from the [Deep Sea], Xia Mu's previous enemies had displayed even more ferocious power than before, even putting Xia Mu in mortal danger at one point. Therefore, Xia Mu naturally dispelled its attack with little effort!

"I said, is this all the tricks you have left?"

Xia Mu's deep voice rang out again from ahead. After he finished speaking, he took a step forward. With a "smack," like a heavy hammer falling, the surrounding black mist was instantly dispersed, and even a brief void was created!

pat!

pat!

pat!

Sensing a dangerous aura that seemed to be gradually surrounding it, the [vengeful spirit], in disbelief, still controlled the students to rush forward.

"So what if you manage to break through my attack? As long as I hide among these students, you won't find a chance to defeat me, hahahaha!"

Every student simultaneously let out unrestrained laughter, including Takizawa Suzune, who had rushed to the front. At this moment, she raised her arm, once again conjured a demonic claw, and slammed it down heavily towards Natsuki!

boom!

The seemingly simple strike left a dent in the floor. Xia Mu turned to the side, looked at the floor, then at Takizawa Suzune, and said in a rather helpless tone, "Director Takizawa, your attack just now was quite dangerous. Be careful!"

Takizawa Suzune seemed not to hear, but instead conjured another demonic claw and struck down at Natsuki again. The students around her also gathered their own attacks, and in an instant, the demonic claws that had been conjured up completely surrounded Natsuki.

boom!

boom!

boom!

This time, Natsuki did not directly break through the encirclement of the demonic claws. Instead, she dodged the attacks from the students and Takizawa Suzune time and time again. After seemingly dodging the attacks at the limit, her expression did not change much, and she did not seem to be struggling.

This human...

The vengeful spirit was surprised once again. In the past, as a member of the Illuminati, it had targeted humans more than once, and countless people had perished under its clutches. Among them were many special forces soldiers, known as "kings of soldiers" by various countries, as well as some mercenaries with high bounties. They were often killed instantly by it!

But the human before him had easily shattered His attack in their initial encounter. Even His current evasion was beyond human capabilities, a state almost identical to that of a [god-demon fusion] within the organization. This was undoubtedly an unbelievable thing!

He finally remembered that after learning about the [Deep Sea], the word "danger" in the information was telling him how powerful the other party was!

However, even after realizing Xia Mu's immense strength, the [Wraith] could not control its anger. At this moment, all it wanted was to bury all the enemies who had caused the [Deep Sea]'s downfall. As for the targets, it no longer cared!

He even planned that after dealing with Xia Mu and the others, he would set his sights on the Heavenly Dao and pull down the Heavenly Dao, the lifelong enemy of the Illuminati, which hung above the organization!

"My target is something like the Heavenly Dao itself. These humans before me are just one of those I will defeat. They are all dead!!!"

"Got you!"

Xia Mu's sudden words startled the [Wraith]. Before it could react, it saw Xia Mu dodge an attack from a student and then reveal a meaningful smile.

What does he mean?

What do you mean by "found me"?

The thought of "[vengeful spirit]" had barely crossed Natsuki's mind when he reached out and grabbed one of the students by the neck. Instantly, all the students, including Takizawa Suzune, stopped moving.

"It's you!!!"

……

Chapter 214 [The Vengeful Spirit] Defeat

It's you!

Hearing Xia Mu's words, the student whose throat was being held showed an expression of disbelief, and spoke in a voice completely different from the others: "Why, how did you know—"

He did not see that, in Xia Mu's eyes at this moment, the original cross mark was now bursting with unprecedented light. It was with the help of this light that He was nowhere to hide in Xia Mu's eyes!

Xia Mu did not answer the [Wraith]'s words, but just said to himself, "In a sense, your strength has already surpassed the level of a level 3 ghost. Although you haven't reached the dangerous level yet, you should be on the edge. I believe it won't be long before you cross that level, right?"

"How...how did you know?!?"

The vengeful spirit struggled while uttering words of surprise. Although it did not know what level 3 meant, it was quite knowledgeable about dangerous species!

Xia Mu's guess was correct. As a ghost that was about to reach the dangerous species level, it was not particularly outstanding in the Illuminati, and there was no corresponding ghost tamer. The reason why it was able to become a member of the organization and have the corresponding code name [W] was because of its ability to appear and disappear without a trace. It could completely conceal its whereabouts and hide, and then manipulate targets to carry out precise strikes against enemies!

His abilities are so formidable that they can even threaten dangerous species like ghosts. Even within the Illuminati, where powerful individuals abound, only those at the forbidden level and the Deep Sea are able to uncover his hiding place.
