I Am a Heroic Spirit

"There's no need to come back now. A Type A evil spirit has been detected in the Kabukicho area. Everyone else has already rushed over. You should hurry over too. You, who possess the Lion King, are the main fighting force." The woman's voice was very anxious. The news she said made Isayama Yomi's face become extremely serious, even nervous. You know, although she has never seen a Type A evil spirit, she has heard of it. Each Type A evil spirit is enough to cause great damage to the city and is extremely powerful. If you want to fight a Type A evil spirit, you must be mentally prepared to die.

After hanging up the pager, Isayama Yomi quickly ran towards the area where Type A appeared.

A section of Kabukicho, which should have been a bustling place, has now become deserted, and even the buildings on both sides have become dark.

An invisible barrier enveloped the area, its golden Sanskrit characters linking like chains, completely sealing it off. Outside this barrier, fifty or sixty exorcists prepared for battle and awaited Isayama Yomi's arrival. After all, facing a Type A, starting the battle before all members were present would reduce their already pitiful survival rate to near zero.

Jianshan Huangquan arrived quickly.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting."

"Don't apologize. It's not a bad thing to have enough preparation time before dealing with Type A. Do you need a break? Huang Quan." said the man holding two suitcases.

"No need, Sakuraba, I can join the battle right away." Isayama Yomi refused, then took out the Lion King's sword from the cloth bag and threw the cloth aside.

"Okay, then let's go and prepare for battle."

A group of people took up their weapons and quickly walked into the barrier.

Chapter 46 The battle begins

As soon as everyone entered the barrier, their faces instantly turned ugly. An extremely strong resentment was unconcealedly wafting around a small alley at the corner in front of them. The terrifying resentment, if it were just an ordinary person, would only feel cold, but for these exorcists, the pressure of the resentment made it difficult for them to breathe.

"What's in there is the legendary Type A. There's such a strong resentment that it makes people feel an irresistible fear from the bottom of their hearts." Jianshan Huangquan's pupils suddenly shrank. She already had a premonition that she would definitely not win this battle.

"Yes, the last time Type A appeared, it caused heavy losses to the Countermeasures Room. If the head of the Huakaiyuan family had not appeared in time, all the people dispatched that time would have been wiped out." The man with his hands wrapped in drill bits made a low voice.

"There is no time for nonsense, it's time to fight." Sakuraba rode a horse and took the lead towards the place where resentment was rising. His back gave people a sense of tragedy and heroism, and everyone followed him.

When they reached the entrance of the alley, the evil spirit's true form finally appeared before everyone's eyes. A little girl, seemingly no more than ten years old, was wearing revealing, thin clothing that gave her an extremely erotic appearance. Next to her, on the ground, lay the disemboweled corpse of a woman, her clothing even more revealing than the girl's.

"It's actually a child?" Jianshan Huangquan said in surprise.

"No, those aren't children, they're evil spirits. Remember, Yomi, Type A and Type D are both humanoid evil spirits. Although they're humanoid, you should never mistake them for real humans, and never hesitate because of their human form. They're all evil spirits that must be slain. If you hesitate even a little, and let them escape, more humans will be harmed." A flicker of astonishment flashed in Iwata Koji's eyes, but after hearing Yomi Isayama's words, he immediately gave a serious warning, "Many novice exorcists have been killed by evil spirits because they hesitated when fighting Type D due to their human form."

"A demon dressed like this must have been killed for some heinous crime." Iwata Koji's voice lowered. Looking at the little girl's dress, he naturally thought of some extremely uncomfortable things.

The other exorcists around them quickly understood what Iwabata Koji meant after hearing his words, and their faces became heavy. Although they had seen evil spirits that turned into evil spirits due to various reasons of death, this was the first time they had seen such a situation.

However, although these exorcists felt very sympathetic towards the girl in front of them, they had no intention of stopping. After all, the exorcists who were sent to fight Type A were veterans who had carried out many missions. The fact that they had no idea of ​​revenge against society showed their psychological quality.

"Strange big sister, big brother, and uncle, are you here to play with Jack?"

The sound of footsteps and conversations attracted the attention of Jack, who had just performed a soul-eating ritual. Jack raised his head with curiosity in his eyes.

"Jack?" Isayama Yomi said thoughtfully, feeling as if he had discovered something.

"attack!"

Seeing that the Type A evil spirit had noticed him and the others, Sakuraba Ikki shouted loudly, and the bottoms of the two suitcases popped open, revealing rows of gun muzzles. Suddenly, a dense metal storm swept across the front.

Following Sakuraba Ikki's order, the exorcists beside him raised their guns against evil spirits and launched an attack. Suddenly, dense bullets covered the entire alley.

Iwabata Koji and Isayama Yomi on the side did not fight, but just made preparations for close combat. Once Type A broke through the hail of bullets, it would be the turn of these two close combat players to start taking action. After all, none of them thought that Type A could be defeated by spiritual bullets alone.

"Are we going to fight?"

A bloody smile appeared on Jack's innocent face, and two scalpels still dripping with blood appeared in her hands.

"Well, it's time to dismantle it."

As the innocent child's voice sounded, Jack turned into an afterimage, weaving through the exploding metal storm.

The attacking spiritual bullets often penetrated Jack's body, but because they were just phantoms produced by the rapid movement, they did not cause any harm to Jack. Occasionally, a "ding ding" sound would be heard, and a few spiritual bullets would fall to the ground.

"So fast! ...Get out of the way!"

Jianshan Huangquan was shocked and shouted, then drew out the Lion King and slashed forward with force.

When the exorcists heard Isayama Yomi's voice, they immediately dropped their guns and retreated as quickly as possible without any hesitation. These were the elite of the Countermeasures Room. After dozens of battles, they could perfectly coordinate with their companions to respond.

At this time, Jack had already passed through the metal storm and appeared in front of Jianshan Huangquan.

Facing Jianshan Huangquan's slashing attack, Jack quickly raised the scalpel to block it. There was a crisp sound of weapons clashing, and Jianshan Huangquan couldn't help but take five steps back before he stopped.

"Eh?"

Isayama Yomi exclaimed in surprise, not because she was surprised that the other party could repel her, after all, it was normal for a Type A to do that, but she was surprised that the other party only repelled her. She could feel that the other party's strength was weaker than some Type Bs who were good at strength. Is it because his ability was in speed?

There was no time to think, as Iwata Koji had already launched his attack. The drills wrapped around his hands spun rapidly with his movements, fiercely smashing towards the Type-A. However, his drill was clearly far inferior to Isayama Yomi's Lion King sword. Jack used only the scalpel to deliver dozens of blows in a single breath before the drill in Iwata Koji's hand completely shattered and fell to the ground, exposing his hands. Without any protection, Jack's attack ripped through his hands, leaving them with penetrating gashes. If Isayama Yomi hadn't arrived in time, the Lion King's blade would have slashed Jack away with a single round, and Iwata Koji would have died.

Chapter 47 Miserable Failure

At the same time, many exorcists took out their melee weapons and rushed towards Jack together.

"There are so many people here, so please let me dismantle them to my heart's content."

Jack disappeared from Jianshan Huangquan's sight at some point, leaving only his excited words echoing in the alley.

"Not good!" Isayama Yomi reacted immediately. With the speed of Type A, only his eyesight could barely keep up. If they faced each other, he would be defeated without any chance of fighting back.

Things happened just as Isayama Yomi had expected. When she looked back, she saw that the Type A had left several afterimages among the oncoming exorcists. All the exorcists along the way had been ripped open. Only Sakuraba Ikki subconsciously raised the suitcase in his hand, which slightly cushioned the damage when the suitcase was cut in half, so his injuries were not as serious as others, but he also lost his combat effectiveness.

Jianshan Huangquan did not dare to hesitate any longer, and swung the Lion King's sword downwards, and a huge spirit beast appeared in front of her.

A lion-like spirit beast with three rows of twelve eyes and a tail composed of countless snakes. This is the spirit beast Ranganren, sealed within the Lion King. A treasure passed down through the generations of the Isayama family, it also serves as proof of the Isayama family's patriarch. In other words, Isayama Yomi, possessing the Lion King, is already the designated next generation patriarch of the Isayama family.

"Crazy Red Lotus! Roaring Wave!"

Jianshan Huangquan pointed the knife forward, and upon receiving the order, the twelve eyes of Ran Honglian lit up at the same time, and opened its ferocious mouth. Golden energy gathered in the mouth, and then sprayed out when it gathered into a sphere.

As a thunderous roar sounded, a huge shock wave penetrated Jack's body, leaving a deep groove on the ground, and a large amount of smoke and dust was swept up by the powerful impact.

However, the shock wave that was enough to cause serious damage to Jack once it hit did not cause Jack any harm at all. As early as when the shock wave was ejected by the Red Lotus, Jack left the track of the Red Lotus' attack at an extremely fast speed. The seemingly attacked Jack was just an afterimage left in the original place because of the extremely fast speed.

"Oops! This type of opponent is really too tricky."

Isayama Yomi muttered to herself heavily, "Even a power type would be fine, but this speed type, I can't keep up at all, how can I fight it?" At the beginning, Isayama Yomi thought she could catch the speed of Type A, but who would have thought that the speed displayed by Type A at the beginning was not the full speed. Now, she didn't know if it was the full speed that was used, and her eyesight could no longer keep up.

The sound of wind was heard behind him, and Jianshan Huangquan immediately slashed back with his knife, and Luan Honglian also quickly pounced behind Jianshan Huangquan.

With a shudder, Jianshan Huangquan felt a sharp pain in her waist, and her sword swings slowed down a bit. However, she could sense that the murderous intent behind her had temporarily retreated as the chaotic red lotus fell, giving her a chance to check her injuries.

I saw a huge wound on Jianshan Huangquan's waist, and a large amount of blood spurted out. The pain caused by the injury made Jianshan Huangquan's movements slow down involuntarily.

On the other side, Luan Honglian was already fighting with Jack. Although Luan Honglian was no match for Jack, as an immortal summoned creature, Luan Honglian had no vital parts. Even if it was injured, it would not affect its combat capability, which made it impossible for Jack to defeat Luan Honglian for a while.

"Huang Quan, are you okay? Can you continue fighting?" Sakuraba Ichiki staggered towards Jianshan Huang Quan who was hunched over and leaning against the wall, and asked in a low voice.

Jianshan Huangquan shook his head and said palely: "I am seriously injured. If I continue to fight, I won't be able to exert even half of my combat power."

"Retreat! Everyone has lost their fighting ability. Continuing to fight is pointless and will only lead to our deaths." Iwata Koji also came over and said, "I'm not afraid of death, but compared to this meaningless death, if there is still hope of survival, it's better to stay alive."

"This is the only way. I will let Luan Honglian hold back Type A, and everyone retreat first." Jianshan Huangquan looked at the dead and wounded on the ground, was silent for a moment, and then spoke.

After making the decision, the three of them quickly fled with a few exorcists who could still be saved, leaving behind only corpses on the ground and the red lotus that tried to stop Type A from chasing them.

"That's too much. You actually want to abandon Jack and run away."

Seeing that Isayama Yomi, Iwata Koji, and Sakuraba Ichiki were about to leave his sight, Jack complained dissatisfiedly, and a black ominous aura rose from under his feet, mixed with a bloody red light.

"Hell begins here. 'We' are fire, rain, and power—bringing Shalu here... Maria the Ripper!"

Jack's body turned into countless black flashes, crisscrossing with Ran Honglian as the center. Under the release of Jack's treasure, Ran Honglian's body was divided into dozens of parts, and then became blurred and gradually dissipated.

Jianshan Huangquan and others who were fleeing at the fastest speed suddenly stopped when they were about to reach the edge of the barrier, because Jack's figure had quietly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"Come on, let Jack tear you into pieces."

Under the desperate gaze of the crowd, Jack rushed towards them waving two scalpels.

Suddenly, just as Jack's scalpel had already torn a gash in Isayama Yomi's stomach, a ray of hope appeared in everyone's eyes.

Jack's expression also changed, because a sound of cutting through the air appeared behind him, which was enough to alert Jack that the attack had arrived behind him.

Jack immediately halted his attack, tapped his foot, and backflipped, sending him flying. He had barely landed, yet before he could steady himself, when he heard another piercing sound behind him. Just as Jack was about to dodge, four talismans struck from the front, left, right, and sky above. Silver-blue arcs of electricity lingered around the talisman, like a snake spitting its tongue, slithering around the talisman paper.

Facing the talismans shot from five directions, Jack, who had nowhere to hide, swung his knife directly at the talismans attacking from the front. The moment Jack's scalpel cut the talisman in front, the blue lightning extended from the talisman to Jack's hand. A trace of pain flashed in Jack's eyes, but he did not stop for a moment. He took this opportunity to quickly escape from the encirclement of the five talismans.

Chapter 48 Reinforcements

"Ok?"

A voice hinted at surprise, and a young man suddenly appeared from outside the barrier. He was wearing a black kimono, his long hair tied loosely with a white string. One hand was tucked into his sleeve, and the other held an oil-paper umbrella.

The most eye-catching part is his right eye, which is covered by a talisman paper, and the spell written on it looks extremely strange and ominous.

"Are you the head of the Deba clan, Lord Deba Shizuji?" Seeing Type A being repelled, Sakuraba Ikki breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked the visitor with a respectful attitude.

"You guys should leave first. Leave this place to me, Patriarch Isayama, and Patriarch Tsuchimiya."

Shizuka Deba nodded expressionlessly, then looked at Jack, who had landed on the nearby rooftop, his eyes filled with solemnity. He had already used all his strength in the previous attack. If it had been an ordinary Type A or large youkai, it would have been intercepted for a moment while breaking through one of the talismans, and then severely injured by the talismans on the other four sides. However, this time, it hadn't had the desired effect.

At the same time, ripples appeared on the barrier next to it, and two middle-aged men walked in. One of them was missing an arm. These two men were Tsuchimiya Masagaku and Isayama Naraku.

Isayama Yomi shouted in surprise, "Father."

Isayama Naraku looked at the severely injured Isayama Yomi and said distressedly: "Yomi, go back and get treatment quickly, we are here."

"Yeah." Isayama Yomi responded, then handed the sword Lion King to Isayama Naraku, and left the barrier with the wounded.

Outside the barrier were the paramedics sent by the Countermeasures Room. As soon as they saw them come out, they quickly helped them onto stretchers, put them in the carriage, and then quickly went to the headquarters of the Countermeasures Room.

Inside the barrier, Tsuchimiya Masagaku asked Deba Shizuka, "Master Deba, you just fought this evil spirit. How strong is she?"

Shizuka Deba said calmly, "She's very strong, surpassing the average Type A. Furthermore, she's not a pure evil spirit, but some higher-level being. My spells don't have much power over her."

Isayama Naraku frowned and said, "Can the three of us defeat her together?"

"I don't know," Deba Shizuka said flatly, his mind racing with countermeasures. His spiritual power was only at the level of an ordinary great youkai, and relying on his ability to control youkai, even some powerful ones would be no match for him. However, the power of the evil spirit before him was stronger than any youkai he had ever encountered. More importantly, she was not a simple evil spirit, and his magic was not as effective against her as it was against other evil spirits. It was truly a difficult situation.

"That's really not good."

Hearing what Shizuka Deba said, Tsuchimiya Masagaku and Isayama Naraku were both shocked. You know, although Shizuka Deba looks young, his strength has already surpassed them. He can defeat an ordinary Type A by himself, but now he actually said such unconfident words.

As the three of them were talking, Jack also realized that the strength of the three opponents was enough to cause him trouble. If he didn't take it seriously, he would most likely lose this time.

"Noble Phantasm released, Dark Mist City."

A thick black sulfuric acid fog formed by magic power rose from Jack's body and quickly spread to the surroundings. However, in the blink of an eye, it had formed a barrier with a diameter of about 100 meters, which included Shizuka Deba, Masagaku Tsuchimiya and Naraku Isayama.

This barrier Noble Phantasm used to deploy the Mist Barrier is Jack's most important Noble Phantasm. Whether used for assassination or launching the attack Noble Phantasm Disintegration of the Virgin, it is an extremely useful Noble Phantasm. It can be said that after activating the Noble Phantasm Dark Mist, Jack's lethality is at least twice as strong as before activating the Noble Phantasm Dark Mist.

Feeling the threat posed by the fog, Deba Shizuka, Tsuchimiya Masagaku and Isayama Naraku immediately used defensive spells, covering their bodies with a spiritual light to isolate the fog. However, the "sizzling" sound coming from the spiritual light on their bodies clearly indicated that their defensive spells could only ensure that they would not be affected in a short period of time, but over time, they would be completely corroded.

"To think there's such a power," Isayama Naraku said solemnly, "Does the head of the Deba family have any countermeasures?"

Deba Shizuji could cast a spell at any time and transform into a Shikigami in the thick fog. As soon as the Shikigami appeared, it was dissolved by the power contained in the thick fog.

"No," Deba Shizuka's voice grew heavier. "We're absolutely at a disadvantage right now. Without defensive spells, our physical strength won't be able to withstand the erosion of this dense fog, but defensive spells won't last long. Furthermore, we have to guard against the evil spirits that may attack at any moment. This fog is so dense that even we can't see through it, and our perception abilities are obstructed by it. If we don't leave here quickly, even if the evil spirits don't attack, we won't be able to hold out."

"You mean, retreat? Retreat before the battle even starts?" Tugong Yale's words were full of doubts. The three of them were all heads of large families. Now they joined forces to deal with an evil spirit, but they were scared and retreated before the battle even began. If this kind of thing were to spread, the reputation of the three families would definitely suffer a great blow.

"Ya Le, this is the only way now. We can't fight the evil spirit in this thick fog. We must leave the fog as soon as possible." Deba Shizuka remained silent, and Isayama Naraku began to persuade him.

At this moment, Deba Jingji suddenly jumped to the left and threw out two talismans surrounded by blue arcs of electricity at the same time.

Tsuchimiya Masagaku and Isayama Naraku also subconsciously dodged to the sides.

"Red Lotus!"

Isayama Naraku swung the Lion King violently, and the red lotus that resided in the precious sword Lion King appeared again.

"Bai Rui!"

Tugong Yale also formed a magic seal, and a magic circle composed of Sanskrit appeared in front of him. A spiritual beast with white fur, a dog head as long as a dragon, and chains tied all over its body emerged from it.

However, although the three of them reacted instantly, it still had no effect. A huge bloodstain appeared on Shizuka Deiba's back, and a large amount of blood flowed out, dyeing Shizuka Deiba's kimono blood-red. The talisman thrown by Shizuka Deiba did not hit her before Jack disappeared again.

Chapter 49 Heading to Tokyo (I don’t know how it happened, but Chapter 41 ended here)

"Sure enough, I was really lucky to be able to draw Young Gil last time."

Looking at the ten cards in front of him, Zhang Luo, who was originally thinking that he had drawn a gold card like last time, said dejectedly, but it was not too unlucky to be able to get Zhuge Kongming.

[When the number of Servants reaches ten, the Spirit Summoning function and Servant Summoning function will be activated.]

[Spiritsummoning: A strand of the host's soul replaces the dominant part of the Servant's soul, summoning the Servant as a clone. This can be manipulated and influenced, but cannot change the Servant's nature or manipulate the Servant into doing something out of character.]

[Servant Summoning: The summoning method and form are the same as the Heroic Spirit Summoning during the Holy Grail War. Draw a magic circle, place the Holy Relic, recite the spell, summon the Servant, and obtain three Command Seals. Unlike during the Holy Grail War, after a Servant is defeated, it can be resurrected as long as the host has sufficient magic power.]

[Also, when Zhuge Kongming and other pseudo-Servants transform, they will retain their original form and gain power.]

"Servant summon? If it's a holy relic, can the projected one be used?"

Zhang Luofa asked, it would be too troublesome if we were to look for related holy relics.

[The summoning requirements have been lowered, and you can use projection magic to create relics.]
