In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

At first, she was a little puzzled as to why Sayuri had secretly followed Natsuki away, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she thought that Sayuri was at least safer than herself.

"Now that the child is with Teacher Xia Mu, I shouldn't have to worry about her for the time being. What I need to address now is..."

As she spoke softly, she came to the living room and looked at the completely destroyed door. A look of headache immediately appeared on her face: "What should we do..."

Suddenly, Mikiko froze. The ticking sound came from behind again, and as she thought of a terrifying scene, her expression changed once more.

"Could it be..."

She turned her head stiffly, and what she saw was a being constantly swinging its tentacles. Its enormous size was like a majestic statue, exuding an indescribable aura. Looking at the lady next door, she was being held in the monster's arms, her tentacles gripping her tightly, and the curves of her bulging abdomen were becoming more pronounced.

puff!

Finally, the woman's abdomen could no longer withstand the pressure and burst open. An unknown liquid, along with some red blood, instantly filled the entire space, including Mikiko, who was only wearing a thin nightgown. She was also soaked by the unknown liquid, and her hazy curves trembled with the violent rise and fall of her chest, as if she were experiencing something unimaginable!

Whether it was luck or not, when Mikiko saw this woman, she appeared to be dead. If one were to experience such an ordeal while still alive, it would perhaps be the most terrifying torture in the world!

Even so, Mikiko's eyes still revealed deep fear as she looked at the monster before her, especially when she thought of the woman's death earlier, her expression became horrified.

"Don't come any closer...don't come any closer...I'm not afraid of you...don't come any closer..."

Mikiko's voice trembled noticeably. She couldn't help but back away, grabbing a stool from the side and gesturing towards the ghost, trying to scare it away. The result—

Tick!

The sound of dripping water rang out again from behind. Before Mikiko could react, she was lifted up by the hands behind her feet. Those wet, slippery hands instantly spread her out in a spread-eagle position and wrapped around her body.

"Uh...uh..."

Her mouth was covered by a hand, and her wide eyes stared at the monster that was getting closer and closer. Fear gradually enveloped Mikiko's heart!

A slight itching sensation came from her thigh. Mikiko knew that she might suffer the same fate as the lady next door, and the despair in her eyes deepened.

In my life...

Is this really how it will end...?

but……

There's still so much resentment...

I haven't seen it yet...

What Sayuri looks like when she grows up and gets married...

It's clearly not yet...

The feeling of being tender and embracing that man again...

How could this be...?

A deep sense of resentment was rising within Mikiko's heart. Unbeknownst to her, a certain ornament on her body began to emit a faint glow, and as her emotions fluctuated, the light grew stronger and stronger, until—

boom!

Just as the monster touched her, a terrifying beam of light was released directly from the beautiful young woman's body. The monster, enveloped by the beam, let out a series of violent roars and retreated backward, throwing Mikiko aside as it did so.

pat!

The beautiful young woman's soft body slammed heavily onto the sofa beside her. Fortunately, the sofa cushioned her fall, preventing her from being seriously injured. However, her clothes, after what had just happened, were now torn to shreds, hanging like scraps of cloth around her body, and one could even vaguely see through them...

However, Mikiko clearly didn't pay much attention to the changes in her own body. She simply raised her head and stared intently at the monster whose body was emitting white smoke after being hit by the beam of light. When she saw it stagger a few times and the touch waver again, a feeling of despair rose up once more!

"How could this be..."

……

Chapter 285 Reunion

Mikiko naturally knew that the beam of light she had just seen was something Natsuki had left on her, which had a natural ability to restrain the ghost in front of her!

However, the truth is that without activating the Holy Light state, the power of Holy Light is not very lethal. It can only deter some low-level ghosts. If the ghosts you are facing are level 2 or higher, it may even be nullified!

Especially this ghost in front of her, if Mikiko could sense its soul power, she would probably be terrified by its soul power level, because this ghost's soul power has reached level 3!

Normally, even if a ghost has materialized, it would still require an entire army with all its weapons to deal with a ghost that has reached this level of soul power. However, due to the special nature of ghosts, weapons cannot be used to their full potential, and even more manpower might be needed to barely cope with them. This is the terrifying characteristic of level 3 ghosts!

Mikiko realized that this ghost was so powerful that she might not be able to handle it. She glanced at the broken door behind her. Although the outside world was like fire and water, if she could break through, there might be a high chance of survival!

We can't just sit here and wait to die!

Thinking of this, Mikiko immediately suppressed her fear and turned around, quickly running towards the door, trying to escape.

The distance is only a dozen steps. I'm sure I can leave safely. At the very least, I can't let Sayuri and Natsuki be disappointed in me!

Suddenly, a surge of hope rose in Mikiko's heart. Just as she was about to reach the entrance, a familiar feeling of wrapping around her legs came from her legs. The next second when she looked down, she saw a wet and slippery hand wrapping around her ankle. With just a forceful pull, it forcibly pulled her back!

"Do not!!!"

Mikiko couldn't help but shout. Thinking of a certain scene that was about to happen, the glimmer of hope that had just risen in her heart instantly turned into despair!

call out--

Suddenly, it felt as if a sharp blade was tearing through the air. The living room glass shattered. Before Mikiko could even realize what had happened, the restraint on her feet suddenly loosened, and she took the opportunity to roll to the side.

What happened?

Mikiko looked at the ghost and saw a spear formed of light, firmly embedded in its body. The ghost frantically waved its hands, seemingly realizing something, and tried to pull the spear out, but to no avail. Instead, as the spear penetrated deeper, its body underwent some incredible change.

Haw!

Haw!

On the ghost's touch, fleshy spheres rose up strangely and then burst open, splashing out liquids similar to those on the lady's body earlier. Her body was also not spared. The terrifying aura that gradually emanated made Mikiko's heart pound wildly. She finally felt such a clear intensity of soul power!

boom!

boom!

boom!

The ghost suddenly went berserk, its hands flailing wildly, destroying the entire living room. Mikiko could only escape the attack by hiding in a corner of the house, but she still trembled involuntarily as she watched the ghost's body continue to swell.

Finally, after wreaking havoc, the ghost stopped its frenzied movements and exploded the next second. An invisible wave, mixed with fragments of the ghost's body, rushed towards Mikiko, who was hiding in the corner. She only had time to raise her arm to defend herself!

Whoosh!

In an instant, a deafening explosion resounded before her eyes, as if she had experienced some terrible tremor. It wasn't until a while later that Mikiko slowly opened her eyes, looked at her arms and body, and said incredulously, "Am I... still alive?"

"Mrs. Mikiko, are you alright?"

A familiar voice came from before her eyes. When Mikiko looked at the person, what came into view was a pair of pure white wings. The face that turned to look at her was none other than Mai, the teacher from Tokyo Academy whom she had seen before!

In that dangerous moment, it was the woman in front of me who blocked the terrifying impact in time; otherwise, even if I had hidden in the corner, I probably wouldn't have survived the impact!

"No...it's nothing!"

Seeing Mikiko shake her head, Mai finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, we made it in time!"

Previously, in order to protect innocent survivors as much as possible, she came all the way from Tokyo Academy to this place. She vaguely sensed that a strong ghostly aura was coming from a certain direction, which might hide some clues that caused the apocalyptic scene before her eyes!

Unexpectedly, before even reaching their destination, they sensed a familiar holy light emanating from a certain house, accompanied by the aura of a ghost that had already reached level 3 soul power!

Without a second thought, Mai conjured a spear in mid-air and hurled it at the location of the demon. She then rushed into the house, leading to the scene just now.

At this moment, Mikiko looked at the holy light wings on Mai's body. The gentle aura emanating from her body was somewhat similar to Sayuri's. She realized that Mai-sensei in front of her was probably also someone who had been given a [Holy Artifact] by Natsuki. Like her daughter Sayuri, Shiroshima and others, she was a special resonance user who could use the power of holy light!

"Was that holy light you used just now, Mrs. Mikiko?"

Similarly, Mai also sensed that Mikiko was emanating a familiar aura. However, she clearly knew that the other party was Sayuri's mother, and she had heard about Mikiko's existence from Natsuki from time to time. Therefore, she was not too surprised that Mikiko possessed a [Sacred Artifact].

Of course, at this moment, Mai was unaware that Mikiko had already become deeply entangled with Natsuki; she was simply grateful that she had saved Mikiko in time.

"I think so?"

For some reason, Mikiko didn't answer directly, nor did she dare to look the other person in the eye. Mai, seemingly oblivious to Mikiko's unease, simply took her hand and said anxiously, "It's no longer safe here. Let me take Mrs. Mikiko away. Come with me!"

"it is good!"

Despite her complicated emotions, Mikiko nodded quickly and followed Mai as they rushed out of the house.

pat!

"Madam, please wait a moment—"

As soon as they arrived on the street, Mai called out to Mikiko. Mikiko looked at her in confusion, only to find that Mai had blocked her way behind her while looking in a certain direction with a wary expression on her face.

"Who is it? Don't hide, show yourself!"

……

Chapter 286 Five Ghost Tamers!

"What is that...?"

Mikiko looked up, her face once again showing a look of horror, while Mai in front of her also looked surprised, as if she had seen something incredible.

Five unidentified figures dressed in black robes were seen standing eerily in the sky, their three pairs of crimson eyes staring at the two. Even the ghosts that had initially noticed the commotion seemed to have encountered their natural enemy and scattered and fled into the distance!

"This feeling of danger...it seems like things are getting a little bad..."

Mikiko's feelings might not be too strong yet, but for Mai, the five black robes in her eyes exuded an aura far exceeding that of a level 3 ghost. Through the familiar black robes, Mai quickly realized that they were the enemy organization that Natsuki and the others had been dealing with all along—the Illuminati!

Mai still remembers that the Shibuya Incident caused such terrible casualties that the country has not yet recovered from them. The culprit behind the Shibuya Incident was the Demon Slayer, a member of the Illuminati who could command forbidden species!

As I recall, Xia Mu once explained to me the classification of demons into different levels. The common types below the dangerous type are level 1-3. Based on the battle just now, I might still be able to handle them, but if they reach the dangerous type level, they are not something that can be easily defeated!

For example, right now, the figure exuding a strange and obscure aura put immense pressure on Mai. Their oppressive aura overlapped, making it seem as if even the air itself became suffocating. This is a characteristic that only comes into play after a person's life level has reached a certain level!

As for Mai at the moment, although she can easily kill ordinary demons with her own abilities, she is ultimately only a support type. Compared to Sayuri and others, she obviously lacks many abilities that can be directly used in combat. Therefore, when she saw these five figures, Mai felt that she could not fight them!

but--

Mai glanced at Mikiko behind her and thought to herself, even if she couldn't defeat them, she had to at least get Sayuri's mother, Mikiko, to a safe place. Moreover, she knew that since Mikiko possessed a [Sacred Artifact], she was clearly someone Natsuki cared about. In that case, she had to protect her even more!

Thinking of this, she whispered to Mikiko, "Mrs. Mikiko, I will hold them off for a while. If possible, please find a chance to escape, okay? Your power has been activated. If you hide, those ghosts might not be able to find you. Although it might be a bit embarrassing, it's a way to protect yourself. Please!"

After listening, Mikiko was somewhat taken aback. She met Mai's gaze and seemed to sense the other's emotions. After a moment's hesitation, she nodded emphatically: "I understand. Please be careful, Mai-sensei, and please pay close attention to your safety!"

She now knows that without activating her Holy Light state like Mai, she will only drag Mai down. Therefore, leaving would actually help Mai!

So, Mikiko took one last deep look at Mai, then turned and ran straight into an alleyway.

The five figures in mid-air simply watched Mikiko leave in silence, their eyes devoid of any emotion. It seemed that to them, Mikiko was merely prey that was "easy to obtain," and no matter how hard they tried, they could not escape her clutches!
