You say this is a love game?

The shadow girl's body trembled violently.

Her body was originally formed by the condensation of evil energy, and now it was trapped in the domain opened by Shuten. The blood and energy turned into threads that forcibly bound her to the spot, making her unable to move.

She tried to break free, but the blood threads wrapped around her limbs like chains, becoming tighter the more she struggled.

At this moment, she shuddered and looked up——

The surging fire and thunder gathered like a storm, forming a whirlpool-like phenomenon above Mizutani Makoto's head. The thunder and fire twisted into a storm extending upward, making the young man's figure look like a god holding divine punishment.

The Chidori secret technique, which was accumulated from the spiritual power of a strong lower level, has a terrifying power that has exceeded the limit of what the shadow girl can bear.

The reason why the slit-mouthed woman was able to withstand Tang Shizi's Heaven and Earth Longevity was because of the support from the rift.

But what about her?

The Shadow Girl has no support from the cracks, and she even suffered irreversible trauma when she was sent flying by the Shadow of Nue a hundred years ago, and she is still in pain today!

"Master Tsu!"

She screamed in her heart, trying to contact Yajimazu.

But all she got in response was silence.

The Shikigami Contract showed no reaction.

It was as if the whole world had abandoned her.

Her consciousness began to blur, and all she could hear was the rumbling of thunder in her ears.

Mizutani Makoto held the Chidori Maru in his hand, and the surging fire and thunder gathered on the blade like a flaming dragon, roaring like an angry dragon, but the scattered lightning still spread out into clouds of thunder and fire, as if it was a sign of the coming of doomsday.

Stomp the ground!

Where the blade points!

"Eight Thunder Gods Itachi!"

Chidori Maru cut through the air, making a sharp whistle, and the thunder and fire that were the most capable of restraining evil spirits formed a storm, sweeping out like an angry dragon with sharp sword light, and blasted directly through the street like a small light cannon, wandering through here like a mad dragon!

Wherever the blade passed, darkness was torn apart and shadows were evaporated.

The shadow girl's figure was hit head-on.

boom! !

Her body was instantly engulfed by thunder and fire, turning into countless pieces and flying everywhere!

Soul +366

A spirit core immediately flew out from the chaotic debris and was about to be annihilated in the heat wave, but a series of blood threads rushed forward one after another, snatched the chestnut from the fire, and rescued it.

——Strong median.

Shuten gave a cruel smile, bent down to pick up the shadow girl's soul core, and her pale face finally gradually showed a drunken redness.

"Miyamizu, thank you."

Mizutani Makoto leaned on Chidorimaru and took out his [Camellia Blood Cup] from his backpack. He forced a gulp of it, and his rapidly consumed physical strength was finally restored.

To be honest, using a blood cup to restore physical strength is a bit extravagant.

But Mizutani Makoto didn't care about all that. He threw the blood cup to Shuten, but Shuten threw the blood cup back to him.

She waved to Mizutani Makoto: "Senior, I'm not hurt yet."

Mizutani Makoto was still trying to contact Yajima Mai, but when he looked down, he saw that his phone had been turned into scrap metal by the lightning and fire in the fierce battle...

He took a deep breath and came to his senses at this moment - with Mai Yajima's strength, she should have appeared long ago if she hadn't encountered an accident.

And if she met with an accident, then there was no need for him to waste time here. The place he really should go... was somewhere else.

"Miyamizu..."

"I'm going to take a short nap, and I'd like to ask you to protect me."

Mizutani Makoto didn't know whether the effect of the [Secret Medicine of Boiling Blood] could extend to the rift, but at this moment the Shadow Girl was finally killed, and his [Secret Medicine of Boiling Blood] had not yet ended, so he should give it a try.

One hundred and seventy-one seconds left.

When Shuten heard Mizutani Makoto's request, his eyes immediately lit up.

"You want me to protect you? No problem, I will definitely protect you well, Senior."

"It's just...senior!"

Mizutani Makoto looked at her intently. The girl's skin was flushed, her horns were towering, and her pupils were scarlet like a demon. However, she smiled charmingly, like a girl next door, and said to him calmly:

"Can you give me this spiritual core? I really need it. If you can give it to me, I will be very grateful to you and will do my best to repay you in the future."

What are you doing?

Why steal the spoils from your predecessors!

Miyamizu Inaba was scolding, but Shuten ignored him.

Mizutani Makoto nodded without hesitation.

"Take it if you want it."

"And take this."

Mizutani Makoto once again threw the [Camellia Blood Cup] to Miyamizu Inaba.

"I'll leave everything to you."

Shuten raised his head to take the blood cup and smiled at this moment.

"must."

One hundred and thirty-seven seconds.

Mizutani Makoto turned his attention to Tomoko.

I logged off in a hurry, but still had one last chance to explore.

But the next pop-up window caught Mizutani Makoto off guard.

[An unknown mutation has occurred in the current rift, and the exploration mechanism has failed. Do you want to continue transmitting?]

Mizutani Makoto paused.

【Teleport】

[Teleport point: Private Hiiragigaoka Academy building]

Under Shuten's surprised and puzzled gaze, Mizutani Makoto's figure turned into a point of light and dissipated.

The ghost of Mount Oe couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"Oh my, what's going on? Senior, oh senior, what are you asking me to protect?"

She found it funny.

He glanced down at the blood cup in his hand and muttered, "It would be great if this thing tasted like wine... I'd be more excited if there was good wine."

As he spoke, the Ghost King walked leisurely in a certain direction.

"where are you going?"

"Yo, go protect your senior."

"senior?"

"Stupid rabbit, don't you feel it? The air is filled with the smell of anxiety and fear... Ah, let me tell you, that rift has finally arrived, overlapping with reality, and there's also the smell of many monsters outside."

As she walked, her speed became faster and faster.

Shuten was almost flying between the tall buildings. His figure was like a hunter in the dark night, and the scarlet color in his pupils became more brutal.

"Except for our good seniors..."

"I can't even imagine how many monsters I can eat this time..."

"You are blessed, little rabbit."

What does "our good seniors" mean?

You old guy pretending to be young, he is obviously my senior!

Shuten laughed, then threw the [Shadow Girl's Spirit Core] into his mouth, just like chewing candy beans. The sharp demon teeth crushed it into powder and swallowed it into his stomach.

"Haha! That's how it should be!"

This has nothing to do with topics like "compatibility" and "absorption efficiency".

Gong Shui Daoyu's body is only at the middle level, while Yingnu's spirit core is at the strong level, surpassing the middle level, and it is also at the strong middle level!

When this spirit core was swallowed into his stomach, it was like the fight and devouring of demons, and Jiu Tun's aura suddenly surged.

Ordinary Onmyojis don’t have this kind of treatment at all, and it is impossible for them to become stronger by eating spirit cores raw.

But Miyamizu Inaba is no longer a purebred human.

Now her spiritual power has been pushed directly to the borderline of approaching and rising. The two years of self-cultivation are not as good as the fighting and swallowing in one night. The survival rule of this monster is really to get a gold belt of killing and arson. Everything else is empty, and only the winner takes all is real.

More importantly... Miyamizu Inaba allowed Shuten to go all out twice, and the demon blood in her body entered an unprecedentedly active state, with its enhanced amplification even greater.

Shuten licked the corner of his mouth.

Have a good hunt tonight!

……

……

This time's transmission is different from the previous ones.

Mizutani Makoto was standing at the teleportation point of the school building.

At his feet, a miniature vermilion torii was emitting light. He shifted his gaze away from the firefly-like lights and could not find the figure of Furuya Ruriko around. When he walked out of this end and glanced outside the school building, his pupils suddenly shrank.

...present world?

Mizutani Makoto looked out in shock.

The school building was on the edge of the private Hiiragigaoka Academy, and the school's walls were not high enough to completely block people's sight. He took a quick look and saw the scenery outside - this scenery was so familiar to him. Wasn't it the scenery near Yami High School that he could always see this semester?

In the past, when I was at the private Hiiragigaoka Academy, the world outside the walls was always blurry and unclear, as if it was impossible to peek into.

Today, the scenery is no longer blurry, but it seems to have entered the worst situation.

Mizutani Makoto frowned.

He lowered his head and clenched his palms... The failure of the exploration mechanism seemed to have forced him to enter the crevice in the form of a physical body.

In other words, his current resurrection armor only has the last two [Undead Totems]

"So, in reality, the rift has eroded the real world and has become superimposed on it, ultimately rendering the exploration mechanism ineffective."

Now it’s time to start the physical fight.

Mizutani Makoto took a deep breath. The situation had taken a sudden turn for the worse. There must have been some changes in the loophole.

"Where's Miss Furuya?"

I wanted to ask Furuya Ruriko about the situation, but when I looked around, there was no sign of Furuya Ruriko...

Mizutani Makoto frowned, but he didn't have any extra time.

The power in his body was still full, but after a while, the power brought by the [Secret Medicine of Boiling Blood] would weaken, and the most urgent thing was to take advantage of this last bit of remaining power to spy on the branch line that suddenly lit up in the school building.

——[Student Union President’s Badge]

This badge must be hiding an unknown branch.

He had obtained the badge before, but this was the first time it had changed... Its light had never gone out since it was lit, and it was still shining in Tongzi's backpack, as if guiding him forward.

"We have to go to the second floor and take a look at this branch line."

Mizutani Makoto whispered as he ran towards the stairs.

But just as he approached the staircase connecting the upper and lower floors, he stopped.

His pupils contracted slightly and his expression was solemn.

What I saw before me was a shocking scene.

The tree roots that originally blocked the entrance to the basement floor have stopped spreading.
