“Don’t bother about me, force your way through it quickly!”

Kiyomi Motohashi forced herself to endure it, and the nails in her hands grew longer and became solid in the blink of an eye, wrapping around Takashima Izumi, who was dashing toward her.

The wraith that appeared out of nowhere had calmed Kimura Kazuki’s bewildered heart.

His brain was working fast in an emergency. There was no doubt that Reika was the victim five years ago. However... who was the demon in front of me? The one that Reika called aunt?

They were related.

Reika met the demon in front of them, her aunt, after being smeared by Takashima Izumi. Otherwise, the demon could have killed all the people in the sports warehouse at that time with her strength.

Judging from her strength of being able to take a lightning strike, she was likely almost to reach the Metamorphosis State. In other words, she might have died very early and turned into a demon.

Kimura Kazuki pondered over the situation, but all of a sudden, he thought of a good idea.

“Then Keiko and I shall go to the girls’ dormitory. Rumor has it that a girl committed suicide in her dormitory 20 years ago and produced a demon. Many girls died mysteriously at that time.”

Previously, he had explored the school together with the people from the Final Forum. Yamazaki and Sakai told him that when they chose to go to the girls’ dormitory. Could this demon be the girl who committed suicide 20 years ago?

Generally speaking, people who committed suicide are ones who had nothing to recall in life.

Of course, that was just generally speaking... For example, Nishiyama Chiyoko turned into a spirit after committing suicide, she had an obsession. Like the demon in front of them, it was most likely that she had a strong resentment in her heart before she committed suicide. Or maybe she did not commit suicide but was killed by someone else. It was just a rumor that she committed suicide.

Moreover, now Reika and that demon were sharing a body.

Two souls in one body!

Kimura Kazuki woke up with a start. He could not care less about anything right now. He had disappeared from the original place and approached Reika’s body immediately, the Sun and Moon sword in hand.

A silver glow appeared out of the blue.

At the same time, Kiyomi Motohashi, who had been keeping her eyes on Kimura Kazuki, was alert. She withdrew her nails on Takashima Izumi, turned them into a shield, and put it in front of Reika.

At the very next moment, the silver glows struck on the bright shield of nails, like a spider web.

“Ten Thousand Flashes!”

Kimura Kazuki chopped out 49 blades within a second. It was far more than Yagyu’s record of 25 blades per second.

Crack!

There was a sound, followed by the crack of the Kiyomi Motohashi’s nail shield. Her body was even more transparent after the attack.

Takashima Izumi, who was not far from Kiyomi Motohashi, finally woke up. He realized that he could use both his hands and take advantage of the moment when Kiyomi Motohashi failed to defend herself. He reached out and grabbed her body.

“Gotcha!”

Takashima Izumi grinned hideously.

However, at the next moment, Kiyomi Motohashi looked at Takashima Izumi and Kimura Kazuki with hatred and opened her red lips.

“No!”

Seeing that, Kimura Kazuki knew something was wrong, and he quickly retreated.

In the blink of an eye, there was a sharp, penetrating noise.

In an instant, the surrounding objects were shaking and turned into ashes one after another. The seven holes of Takashima bled, and his consciousness was scattered as he was nearest to the blow. But even so, his arm was still holding on to Kiyomi Motohashi without any thought of letting it go.

Kimura Kazuki, who was standing from afar, heard the sound. His whole body trembled, and he felt dizzy. He could feel a warm thing flowing down from his nose. But soon, he was wrapped in green light. His dull consciousness came to him. He was as good as ever except for a slight headache.

Seeing that he was safe and sound, Kimura Kazuki thought of something. He took out a magatama from his pocket. This magatama was something that dropped out of the Tsukumogami’s stomach after he helped Kubo Yuki to wipe out the Tsukumogami vampire bat.

He had been studying the usefulness of this thing, and it was unexpected that this magatama could help him withstand the spiritual blow from the demon.

The magatama was no longer emerald green now. Once again, it turned into an ugly state of stone grey color, with a crack on its body. The spiritual blow of Kiyomi Motohashi had made the magatama reach its limit.

He inserted the magatama into his pocket. Kimura Kazuki saw that Takashima Izumi caught Kiyomi Motohashi.

But Takashima Izumi was visibly unconscious now. Even the demons from Class 4 of the sophomore year grew slack after being attacked by Kiyomi Motohashi. They were unable to wake up in a short time.

After Kiyomi Motohashi was caught, she slowly climbed onto Takashima Izumi’s body. She intended to swallow him to enhance her strength when she combined with Reika later.

Kimura Kazuki was calm at the sight of this. He took out another Lightning Attracting Talisman when Kiyomi Motohashi was caught off guard.

“Lightning Attracting.”

A red thunderbolt once again appeared from the void. This time, it still targeted at Reika.

“No!”

Kiyomi Motohashi shrieked when the red thunder and lightning appeared. She had never thought that Kimura Kazuki would stay uninjured after her spiritual attack.

She could only watch the red thunderbolt burst open Reika’s body.

“I want you to die!”

Reika’s voice sounded extremely painful. She spat out a mouthful of black blood, her body emitted a slight burning smell, and her white dress was torn apart. Only the touch of blood on the hem was bright as usual.

As soon as she said that, Reika’s long black hair swept toward Kimura Kazuki like a tide.

Kimura Kazuki tried to avoid being entangled by the black hair. He chopped it with Sun and Moon sword while dodging. He found that the long hair was emitting a glow of iron, and they were as hard as steel.

“Aunt!” Reiko shouted as she endured the pain. The moment Kiyomi Motohashi heard the calling, she let go of Takashima Izumi. She floated and instantly integrated into Reika’s body.

Reika’s breath soared when both of them combined.

The next moment, Kimura Kazuki felt that the speed of the long black hair that was chasing him had increased sharply.

Obviously, Reika intended to get rid of him first.

Kimura Kazuki barely dodged, but he knew he could not hold on for long. He looked at Takashima Izumi, but he was not awake yet. He could not help cursing. Then, he made up his mind and took out a talisman.

The name of the talisman was Speed Walk, one only to be drawn by those in the Metamorphosis State. He only had one, which he had drawn for more than 20 times with red Reiki before he succeeded. Meanwhile, he had already used up two of the three Lightning Attracting Talisman that he drew. This was the preparation for his return to this high school.

When he decided to use the Speed Walk Talisman, it meant that he had to flee.

The Speed Walk Talisman turned into bright lights and integrated into his body. Kimura Kazuki’s speed skyrocketed at that juncture. Reika was unable to trace Kimura Kazuki for a moment.

Kimura Kazuki did not run away. He came directly to Takashima Izumi and slapped him in the face. He said in a deep voice, “Takashima Izumi, look who this is!”

When Takashima Izumi’s regained consciousness, he wore a stunned look on his hideous face, he was full of joy and whispered inconceivably, “Chiyoko... Chiyoko, is that you?”

When Nishiyama Chiyoko was released, she was frightened when she saw the dreadful look of Takashima Izumi. She was unable to talk for a moment.

Then, Takashima Izumi put his arms around Nishiyama Chiyoko!

At this moment, Nishiyama Chiyoko finally came back to her senses and uttered a shrill cry of fear.

Kimura Kazuki watched Nishiyama Chiyoko, who was being embraced, slowly merged into the body of Takashima Izumi. Takashima Izumi was rapidly growing stronger with the gradual integration.

He knew what had happened. When Takashima Izumi became the core just now, he was repeating Nishiyama Chiyoko’s name. So he knew that the Takashima’s obsession was not the person who locked the door, but Nishiyama Chiyoko.

Before Takashima Izumi died, all he was thinking about was Nishiyama Chiyoko.

The spirit would disappear in the world when he achieved his obsession, while the strength of the demon would significantly increase once its obsession was found. This was because it represented a kind of perfection, so the demon’s obsession was also a kind of weakness.

Kimura Kazuki pondered for a while before reaching up to his hand, holding the sword and taking the attack of the long black hair. He retreated with the help of the Speed Walk Talisman.

Reika did not chase after him but locked her eyes on Takashima Izumi. Her long black hair curled toward the latter, trying to strangle Takashima Izumi to death.

Kill them!

“Go away!” Takashima Izumi put out some arms to withstand the attack of long hair, but his body was wrapped in nails and long hair right away. Takashima Izumi did not bother about it. He looked lovingly at Nishiyama Chiyoko, who was struggling and screaming in his arms. He caressed her face with his hand and said, “Soon... very soon... we can be together again.”

When Takashima Izumi was about to die from the tangle of sharp hair and nails, Nishiyama Chiyoko finally blended together with him.

The next moment...

A banging sound echoed through the atmosphere. Takashima Izumi stood up. His body was as hard as steel, and he managed to break all the hair and nails.

Takashima Izumi and Reika immediately fought together.

Meanwhile, Kimura Kazuki had come to the teaching building. He was relieved after overlooking the place. He was not afraid that the two demons would combine together because the hatred between Takashima Izumi and Reika was absolutely irreconcilable.

Besides, he knew that Reika’s metamorphosis was interrupted by his Lightning Attracting Talisman. She couldn’t go through metamorphosis in such a short while, so he still had some time to spare.

He thought for a while and sat cross-legged to replenish his Reiki.

What he wanted to replenish was the red Reiki. Only the Art of Sword Summoning that could demolish everything would be able to wipe out these two demons thoroughly!

Kimura Kazuki stood up within a few minutes.

He had replenished the red Reiki. Looking at the battle situation, he found that Takashima Izumi was full of wounds and could barely support himself. His mouth was raging. On the other hand, Reika was growing stronger during the battle, it seemed like she was about to start metamorphosis again.

Kimura Kazuki sneered and came to the tree within seconds. He looked on coldly as a bystander, then he threw out a Spirit Stabilizer Talisman. Out of thin air, the word ‘Stabilize’ appeared in red, deadly suppressing Reika.

Reika was caught off guard, and her body was grabbed by Takashima Izumi.

Takashima Izumi used force on his hands and was about to choke Reiko to death. Being suppressed by the word ‘Stabilize,’ Reika could hardly use her Reiki in a short time. But Kiyomi Motohashi reappeared in a wink and twisted off Takashima Izumi’s arms with her sharp nails.

Kimura Kazuki’s eyes were beaming at the sight of this, and he uttered, “Go!”

Upon saying that, the Sun and Moon sword switched into a three-inch sword and turned into a bright and gorgeous string like a small snake, heading toward Kiyomi Motohashi.

Although the two demons kept their guard up against Kimura Kazuki, they were unable to withstand the Art of Sword Summoning. While the Sun and Moon Sword cut through Kiyomi Motohashi, red and tragic white spiritual fires were scattered around the air and completely wrapped up Kiyomi Motohashi.

That was right, Kimura Kazuki attached a large number of Spiritual Fire Talisman to the Sun and Moon Sword.

Kiyomi Motohashi screamed tragically, the Sun and Moon Sword had cut over Reika’s head while Reika was suppressed by Takashima Izumi and the word ‘Stabilize.’ Then, to prepare for the worst, he stabbed her in all directions with the Sun and Moon Sword.

Meanwhile, Kimura Kazuki’s face turned pale. Performing the art of sword was not only consuming Reiki, but also his consciousness. Needless to say, the Art of Sword Summoning consumed even more mental power. Just now, he had already used up some of his mental energy when he manipulated the Sun and Moon Sword to cut off Ito Shunji. He gritted his teeth and manipulated it. The sword continued to sweep at the Multi-armed demon.

Right now, there were two heads on the Multi-armed Demon, one was Takashima Izumi, and the other one was Nishiyama Chiyoko.

Kimura Kazuki did not deal with Takashima Izumi, he went for Nishiyama Chiyoko instead!

“No!” Takashima Izumi let out a scream. He panicked and retracted his arm, embracing Nishiyama Chiyoko’s head in his arms.

Right at the next moment, the Sun and Moon Sword changed its direction, made a front to the east, but attacking in the west and flew directly over Takashima Izumi’s head like an agile dragon.

After that, Kimura Kazuki’s face turned pale. He could not hold on any longer.

The Sun and Moon sword fell onto the ground after losing his consciousness, splashing dust and shivering slightly.

Kimura Kazuki was vaguely conscious. He leaned against the tree trunk and shook his head slightly. Then, he headed out to the sports warehouse, step by step, and extremely slow.

When he arrived at the battlefield, Kiyomi Motohashi had been burned to ashes by the Spiritual Fire Talisman, and Reika had been killed by him.

But Takashima Izumi still had a breath of life, and he was calling out Chiyoko’s name, just like what Ito Shunji did before.

He picked up the Sun and Moon Sword and activated an ordinary Spirit Stabilizer Talisman to prevent his opponent from self-destructing. He straight away killed his opponent with his sword after suppressing his opponent’s Reiki slightly.

Then, he saw multiple faces emerging in the body of the Multi-armed Demon, trying to get out of the body and turn it into a demon again.

Kimura Kazuki was vaguely conscious, he felt that he could not hold on anymore. He took out the last Lightning Attracting Talisman and activated it with Reiki. The Multi-armed Demon was struck by the red thunder and lightning in an instant, and a sharp scream soon disappeared.

The evil spirits turned into red Reiki after death. After storing the red Reiki in the Sun and Moon Sword, Kimura Kazuki walked toward the school gate.

Soon...

Rei Takamori’s anxiety was relieved when he saw Kimura Kazuki making his way to the school gate. However, he could not help panicking when he saw Kimura’s pale face.

“Are you okay, Kimura-san?”

“I’m all right...” Kimura Kazuki was only able to whisper a sentence before he blacked out, “Let me sleep for an hour, don’t call the police...”
