A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

The village chief was clearly a staunch advocate of sacrificing the minority.

"But I didn't expect them to shift the blame to Tiga. If Daigo knew that he was considered the source of all evil thousands of years ago, he would probably cry himself to death in the toilet."

Chapter 72 Taking Action

Although Kazama Chiba was still verbally criticizing the villagers as hopeless, her actions spoke volumes.

The burly villagers who were grinning and lunging at the children hadn't even realized what was happening when they felt a powerful force strike them, as if they had been hit by an invisible truck. Before they could even scream, they were sent flying backward like bowling pins.

Those who were lucky crashed into the stone wall and passed out, while those who were unlucky plunged into the bottomless abyss like kites with broken strings.

This sudden turn of events left the remaining villagers on the outskirts dumbfounded.

"W-Who are you?!"

The village chief watched in horror as his men were wiped out in an instant, completely dumbfounded.

Looking around, I couldn't see anything.

As a shrewd person, he immediately realized that he had encountered a tough opponent, one with true divine power.

Without daring to utter a single polite word, he scrambled into a hidden passage nearby like a frightened mouse, disappearing faster than a rabbit.

"This……"

The female teacher, holding several trembling children, stared blankly at the now-empty altar.

The wind was still blowing, but the uncomfortable heat had been largely dispelled.

A blurry human figure appeared and disappeared in the wind, eventually coalescing into the shape of a young boy.

"Can you still walk?"

Qianyu landed at the edge of the altar, not even glancing at the unconscious villagers, but her gaze swept over the female teacher covered in wounds.

The female teacher stared blankly at this savior who had fallen from the sky.

At this moment, even if Qian Yu looked like a beggar, she would still see him through a two-meter-thick filter of holy light.

"Yes! I can walk!"

The female teacher suddenly realized who the boy was, but it was true that he had just saved them.

"Thank... thank you..."

"Stop, halt. Save the sentimental stuff for when you write your memoirs. If you can leave, take these students and get out of here quickly."

Qianyu pointed in the direction of the exit.

"If you don't want to die here, don't look back. Keep running, I have things to do."

The female teacher was moved to tears and was about to tell the students to leave when a chubby boy tugged at her sleeve, his voice trembling with emotion.

"Teacher... Urushibara... Urushibara is gone!"

The female teacher's face turned pale instantly, only then remembering that the socially anxious little girl had just hurriedly slipped into another side path in the chaos.

Immediately, she was so anxious that tears were about to fall, and she hurriedly begged Qianyu for help.

"Wait! Please!"

"There's another child! He just ran into that other path. That child is introverted; if no one takes care of him now, he'll definitely die."

The female teacher had completely clung to Qianyu and was almost ready to kneel down before him.

“Over there…the village chief said it’s a dead end, and the temperature is extremely high…Please, save her! She’s a good child, just a little…a little afraid of people…”

When faced with the female teacher's request for help, Qianyu didn't give a full answer. She only said that she happened to be going in that direction as well, and if she encountered her, she would help her out. If she didn't, it was just bad luck for her.

"I'm going over there to take a look too. If I run into her, I'll grab her. But if she's already a acquaintance, then there's nothing I can do."

After saying that, he stopped talking and cast an even thicker wind element shield around himself before running toward the steaming passage.

The female teacher watched the boy's figure disappear into the darkness, gritted her teeth, and knew she couldn't hold him back here.

So, enduring the excruciating pain, she called out loudly to the remaining students, like a mother hen chasing away her chicks.

"Everyone, stay close to me! Run!"

A group of people stumbled and rushed toward the exit.

Just as they were about to run out of the cave, the village chief, who had already escaped, suddenly reappeared from some dog hole, leading several villagers to block their way.

"Halt! You are all offerings to the mountain god! You cannot leave! If you leave, the mountain god will be angry!"

The old man was still there, roaring hysterically, his face contorted like a demon.

Although he couldn't afford to offend that scoundrel, if he let these sacrifices escape and the mountain god didn't get his fill, he, the high priest, would definitely be the one to suffer in the end.

Half an hour earlier, a well-educated female teacher might have tried to reason with him, or even compromised to protect the child.

But at this moment, looking at that ugly face that almost killed all the children, and at his fanatical appearance that still treats human life as worthless.

The rage meter filled up in an instant.

"Fuck you, you old bastard! Take this punch!"

The female teacher uttered the dirtiest curse word she had ever used.

She rushed forward, and with the last of her strength, without hesitation swung her already bloodied fist and smashed it hard into the old bastard's nose.

"boom!"

The punch landed squarely. The village chief hadn't expected this timid woman to dare to make a move. He screamed and fell backward, blood gushing from his nose.

"You should go down there and explain things properly to that damned mountain god for me."

The female teacher was like a lioness protecting her cubs; her imposing presence stunned the remaining villagers.

Taking advantage of the lull, she led the students out of the hellish cave and into the bus parked by the roadside.

"Driver, move the car! Wait on the main road! It's not over yet...it's not over yet! That kid Urushihara hasn't come out yet!"

She sat in the passenger seat, discussing things with the driver, but her eyes were fixed on the cave entrance, silently praying that the magical boy could create a miracle.

……

the other side.

Kazama Chiba was braving the scorching heat to quickly traverse the narrow passage.

The further you go in, the harsher the environment becomes.

The rock walls here have turned dark red, and the air is so distorted that even visibility becomes blurry.

"How did that girl manage to get into this godforsaken place?"

He frowned and increased the output power of the wind turbine, creating a high-speed airflow insulation layer around his body.

Finally, after making a sharp, almost 90-degree turn, he saw the small figure at the end of the road.

Michiyo Urushihara was curled up in a slightly recessed corner of the stone wall, like a frightened hamster.

Her consciousness was already blurred, her face was abnormally red, and she was unconsciously murmuring "Don't come any closer".

"found it."

Qianyu quickly stepped forward.

The good news is that he's still breathing; the bad news is that he's already passed out from the heat.

He immediately manipulated the wind vane to create a cool, moist airflow, carefully enveloping the girl's body.

A cool breeze instantly enveloped the girl, as if she were in an air-conditioned room.

As the terrifying heat around her was shut out, Michiyo's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and her rapid breathing calmed down.

Qianyu squatted down, helped her half-up to lean against her chest, took out a water bottle from her backpack, and carefully fed her some water.

"Cough cough..."

The cool liquid soothed his parched throat, and the little one in his arms finally stirred.

Taking advantage of the brief moment she was awake, Qianyu raised her head and looked around at her surroundings.

This is a huge underground space.

Or more accurately, it is a closed underground magma lake.

Apart from the entrance he came through, there were steep rock walls on all sides, and in front of him was a vast expanse of churning golden-red lava.

"Gudu... gudu..."

Huge bubbles kept bursting open on the surface of the magma, emitting a series of muffled sounds.

After listening to that sound for a while, it always felt like some huge creature snoring.

"Is the source of magic right below?"

Qianyu narrowed his eyes. The concentration of magic here was frighteningly high, and it had even begun to interfere with his spiritual vision.

Chapter 73 Golza!

Just then, there was a movement in my arms.

Michiyo Urushihara groggily opened her eyes.

At first, she was confused, but when she saw Qianyu's completely unfamiliar face, her social anxiety instincts kicked in instantly, and she shrank back like a startled rabbit.

"ah--!"

Social anxiety radar activates instantly.

For Michiyo, waking up in the arms of a strange man was second only to being called on by her teacher to give a speech.

"Don't move."

Qianyu quickly grabbed her shoulder to prevent her from burning herself.

"I was sent by your teacher to rescue you. Your name is Michiyo Urushihara, right?"

He didn't say the teacher's name (because he didn't know it), so to avoid misunderstanding, he simply called out the girl's full name.

Sure enough, upon hearing her name, Michiyo paused for a moment, and the muscles that had been tense with fear relaxed slightly.
