Chapter 908 - 26: Imagination
Like the first rays of the rising Sun, myriad beams of light like sharp swords.
Easily pierced through Chaos and broke through the storm.
The malignant fluctuations of Spiritual Energy raged even more fiercely, the heart-wrenching howls could cause ordinary people’s Spirit to suffer piercing pain, yet this frenetic counterattack was gradually suppressed, covered by that warm light like the Sun that knows no night.
It seemed naturally to have an extremely strong effect against Evil Spirits, stubbornly resisting the furious counterattacks of the Evil Spirits.
Like being supercharged, her whole body glimmered with golden light, clearly the top-ranking supreme VIP in the server, Yatsugaya Miko stood at the absolute center of the abnormal space surrounded by the storm, holding her hands aloft, her pretty face tightly tensed, lips pressed together hard—
Actually, this posture was meaningless, it was just her subconscious wanting to do it.
Just as people need some physical actions to reinforce their psychological cues, mainly because she didn’t know what to do, after all, she had no prior experience in this area. Neither knowing what kind of Divine Power she possessed nor how to utilize it.
If she just stood there relying on imagination, it seemed even she felt it wasn’t very reliable, she wasn’t confident in that.
After all, just standing in place and thinking, could she rely on the power of thought to overcome the opponent? That seemed highly improbable, she felt she had to do something.
Under the influence of such thoughts and pressure, Yatsugaya Miko naturally also subconsciously tried clenching a fist and waving a hand, trying to provide herself enough psychological cues through such body language, probably because of that initial hand-waving action, it triggered an extraordinarily strong Spiritual Power impact, creating a preconceived influence on her...
She must have some actions to mobilize that unfamiliar Power, right?
Perhaps that’s what the girl thought.
This behavior was indeed very effective, at least it looked splendid, especially from the perspective of Kenshan Yellow Springs and the others, the entire Spirit state of the black long-haired girl was completely different.
— Poised and confident!
— Unfathomable!
Although, these were just their own preconceived notions, completing the image in their minds.
As for Yotsuya Kousuke, he was utterly stunned, he gaped, incredulous, glued his eyes to the other side, somewhat doubting whether that was really his sister. Completely different from the familiar impression of daily life, his sister seemed sacred and divine at this moment.
That serious expression also made him completely confused, feeling like his sister suddenly became very unfamiliar.
How many things does he not know?
When did his sister step onto the path of a superhero from an ordinary JK?
In fact, Yatsugaya Miko was still very nervous, she faced the overwhelming storm of Evil Spirits, fiercely maintaining the Spiritual Power light she emitted. But she still couldn’t understand how to mobilize this Power.
Because she couldn’t understand anything, she didn’t know how to unleash it nor maintain it, so she had no confidence at all.
With the situation so dire, if she relaxed even slightly, perhaps this Divine Power would cease to exert force, wouldn’t she then be directly taken down in one wave by the Evil Spirits? With such worries, she didn’t dare to risk adjusting her state, from movements to gaze.
Afraid that if she didn’t hold it, she would deflate...
"Let’s go! Kagura!"
Despite feeling a bit surprised, Kenshan Yellow Springs nonetheless keenly grasped the current great opportunity, she shouted an order, wielding the Treasure Blade, commandingly directing Chaotic Red Lotus to charge along with her.
"Food Spirit—Unleash!"
Togami Kagura also waved her hand, shouting.
In the void, it seemed as if there was the sound of chains clashing, metal scraping, an extremely ferocious gigantic Spirit Beast forcibly emerged from the air, as if bursting out from the space connected to her body, or like being projected from another dimension, rapidly materializing.
It was a massive visible beast, majestically impressive, no less than Chaotic Red Lotus, known as Bai Rui, called Dog God Spirit Beast, with a white fur coat, only its head was a dog’s head, its body’s length rivaling a Dragon, a huge, robust body bound with chains everywhere...
"Waaah!!"
Yotsuya Kousuke, right beside, was startled by this sudden change, having no psychological preparation, seeing such a colossal entity abruptly reveal itself in the air before his eyes, its impact was tremendous.
He fell onto the ground with a thud, his eyes watching as Bai Rui, like a giant serpent, and Togami Kagura charged forward with full momentum!
The addition of the two massive Spirit Beasts and two remarkable young Demon Exorcists from prestigious backgrounds visibly impacted the situation, the Evil Spirit, already grievously injured due to a failed advancement, with even the rookie Yatsugaya Miko unable to directly take it down, now was even more overwhelmed.
"Aaaaahhh——!!"
The sharp, venomous howl seemed to emanate from the deepest pits of Hell, with waves of invisible ripples impacting everyone within the domain.
This was a direct assault and destruction on the spiritual level, yet despite the painful ripples manifesting as visible tremors in the space, they ultimately failed to exert their intended effect, being blocked by Mikko’s Spiritual Power light, with all ripples dissipating against her Spiritual Power light.
The more serious she became, the tenser she was, the more others perceived her as exuding an inexplicable sense of calm, unaware that she was equally uncertain inside. That’s why she maintained this posture, not daring to move, making them think she was exerting all her strength to fight against the Evil Spirit...
Even Kenshan Yellow Springs instinctively made such a judgment, naturally not letting pass this golden opportunity to break the Evil Spirit.
She originally thought this was a life-risking, unavoidable gamble with no assurance of retreat. At most, she hoped to send Kagura away if things truly went beyond control, but she never expected to encounter such a reliable teammate.
Feeling like she suddenly glimpsed the dawn, she naturally revitalized, boosting her morale. Kenshan Yellow Springs summoned her Spiritual Power, launching an unreserved offensive.
Togami Kagura followed closely behind. Although she hadn’t officially become proficient, her family’s background naturally ensured that she was steeped in such matters. Therefore, at this moment, she wasn’t panicking or at a loss, but rather swiftly embraced her role, adjusting her state—
She positioned herself as rear support, covering Sister Yellow Springs.
The malignant Spiritual Energy surged, and within the spreading storm, countless shadows suddenly appeared, overlapping, ghostly, bearing bizarre postures. The formidable Evil Spirit ceased its attempt to reorganize, instead choosing to collapse its body like a disintegrating pile of blocks.
With a clatter, they fell to the ground.
Initially a fusion of myriad Evil Spirits, now it suddenly disassembled, naturally scattered across the ground. They struggled to crawl on the floor or agilely moved along the flesh-like walls, resembling the lickers from a zombie movie.
Dark shadows swelled, surging forward like a tidal wave.
"Uwaaah—!!"
Yotsuya Kousuke turned pale with fear. Compared to the recent fantastical display of light and storm confrontation, although grand and shocking, he lacked a concrete sense of its danger. But at this moment, this more visually tangible corpse wave tactic truly sent shivers down his spine.
The sword light flickered, Spiritual Power compressed into thin slashing lines...
The Chaotic Red Lotus’s Roar Wave erupted, Bai Rui opened its gaping maw, voraciously devouring Evil Spirits...
In an instant, the two Demon Exorcist girls bravely carved a bloody path through the Evil Spirit swarm, leading to a battle of attrition, seeing how resilient the Evil Spirits were. In this regard, they felt no fear, for that unfamiliar Demon Exorcist girl possessed astonishingly vast and remarkable Spiritual Power—
Maintaining such a large-scale Soul purification technique, unconditionally suppressing the Evil Spirit’s power, and still enduring till now.
The emitted Spiritual Light remained so resplendent, showing no signs of dimming, truly representing an extraordinary power.
Having such a strong teammate was exceedingly reassuring.
"Go, Little Chaos!"
"Devour wildly, Bai Rui!"
Almost simultaneously issuing orders to their Spirit Beasts, the twelve eyes of the red lion quickly shone, energy spheres rapidly accumulating within its gaping maw. The white Dog God, with its long body, opened its maw wide, the issuing chains momentarily loosening.
Like a black hole with immense suction power, it inhaled, swallowing dozens of Evil Spirits, large and small, in a storm-like gulp.
Devoured in one swallow!!
"So... amazing..." Looking at the valiant and impressive two older sisters showcasing extraordinary skill and combat prowess, Yotsuya Kousuke arduously swallowed, only feeling his heart pound. After all, being of such an age, still an elementary schooler, how could he not be in the middle of his chūnibyō phase?
In day-to-day life, he’d inevitably indulge in some fantasies, hoping to become a Hero, a Human World entity, a detective schoolboy, a Magic boy...
Yet, he also understood those fantasies weren’t real, thus he wasn’t overtly consumed by them.
However, unexpectedly, he stumbled upon another facet of the world today, witnessing its grand reveal... The only difference was, his sister was the protagonist, which felt somewhat off? Yotsuya Kousuke instinctively glanced toward his sister.
Her black hair floated amidst the shimmering glow, appearing incredibly dynamic.
The girl’s face bore a serious expression, maintaining that evident posture, clearly locked in struggle with the Evil Spirit.
Beside Yatsugaya Miko, a vague giant fox sat quietly, resembling a guardian spirit... As if the entire space was ablaze, flames shot everywhere, the majestic Nine-tailed flickering in and out of view, illuminating the girl amidst an inferno, akin to a Saint of flame.
