"Mr. Zhaoma, it's right in front, we're almost there-"
"I know, I have been to Mr. Xiaofu's place."
Zhaoma interrupted Hiyori.
The two of them were walking on the roofs of low residential buildings, stepping on the beautiful curved tiles.
"I warned you before, but you brazenly ran to the shrine and shouted my name. If Wella finds out, she will attack you."
"I know." Hiyori continued to move without slowing down, as if he didn't care that he might be attacked.
"I know," she repeated, "but I have to do it, and I am mentally prepared."
"...Then I hope you are mentally prepared for another thing." Zhaoma glanced at her, then glanced back at the empty place behind him:
"A wind cave has opened nearby, and Wella will probably come over to deal with the monsters that escaped."
If Yato is discovered by Wella...
Zhaoma sped up.
"...We must hurry up."
――――
Although Mr. "Okoku" specially said harsh words to Yukine before leaving, such as "If you dare to move even one step, I will kill you", Miss Hiyori's body was softly pressed against the soil.
Under the circumstances, it had to be broken.
I still had to carry the unconscious Yato, and finally Yukine and the pink-haired Miss "Kofuku" carried Hiyori into the house.
As soon as they came out, they bumped into two groups of people arriving at the door at the same time.
Dahei looked like he had seen a ghost: "You, you... aren't Yadou your enemy?"
"Yes." The new reinforcement pushed up his particularly elite-looking glasses: "But I owe him a favor."
He glanced around, then fixed his eyes on me, showing a puzzled expression: "Isn't Yadou infected with Anwu? Then why can he..."
Me? What happened to me?
I'm more confused than he is.
I'm just a human stretcher doing hard work. What's wrong with me?
Then he looked at me intently, and suddenly his face was full of realization: "I'm not afraid of An Wu, but I'm not afraid of divine power either... That's it!"
I:"???"
Do you understand again? What do you understand?
Everyone in this dungeon loves to play riddles, which made me very confused.
Then I saw him sigh again: "As expected of Yadou, a being like this will also help."
I said again: "???"
He's talking about me, right? "This kind of existence" is me, right?
What exactly did you see? We haven't met for five minutes!
After coming to his own conclusion, he lost interest in me and turned to study Yadou on my back:
"How is Yato doing now?"
I took a look at the health bar and answered him honestly based on the relatively accurate blood loss frequency and remaining blood volume:
"If we can't make it to dawn, what can you do?"
"us--"
“It smells so good—”
"It smells good?" I was confused for a moment, "What smells so good?"
"No, I'm not talking!" The bespectacled man in front of him suddenly became serious. At the same time, the originally bright moonlight suddenly dimmed.
No, it's not dark, the moonlight is blocked by something.
I slowly raised my head and saw the dense crowd of people in the sky looking down at us...
A school of colorful sunfish.
Yes, sunfish, the kind with exposed serrated teeth, are colorful, a group of them, quite cute.
I don’t know why fish can fly in the air. It’s normal for moths to fly, but if your fish can fly, doesn’t it disrespect biology too much?
"It's the nearby wind cave!" The man with glasses said solemnly: "Why does it happen to be at this time... too bad!"
"..."
I looked at Kofuku and Hiyori on the left, whose beautiful faces were pale, and then at Daikoku and Yukine on the right, who looked panicked.
So now...is it my turn to perform?
I immediately laid Yadou flat on the ground, tightened the waistband of my pants and rolled up my cuffs:
"Leave it to me - no..."
I remembered that these things have extremely high physical resistance:
"-Leave it to us."
――――
"……us?"
Watching the red-haired boy roll up his sleeves and jump into the sky, he almost fell back because he didn't jump high enough. Fortunately, he grabbed the tail of the fish-shaped monster, twisted his body in mid-air, and rode up, followed by a group of people in the air.
The fish became a mess, and Hiyori repeated in confusion.
"Anyone else?"
Xueyin suddenly reacted: "It must be the one with purple hair——"
"--Quack, quack, quack"
A cry of crows came from the sky. At some point, a number of crows appeared in the sky that was originally crowded with monsters. The dark crows flew up and down, carrying an aura more ominous than the monsters and shuttled through the air.
A woman's figure emerged from the thick black-purple mist:
“If you conquer a man, you conquer the world——”
――――
"Why did Zhao Ma run away privately and avoid me?"
Bishamonten rode a lion-shaped artifact and moved quickly on the rooftop.
"Still near where we are preparing to attack the Wind Cave tomorrow—"
"Miss, look!" A strong human voice came out of the lion's mouth: "Heaven!"
"What?"
Bishamonten was stunned for a moment, then raised his head.
The purple-haired woman was sitting on an arc made of crows. Several dark and ominous crows shuttled through the dense group of monsters. Almost every dive could take away a monster, crushing the situation one-sidedly.
Ming Ming, it seems that the group of monsters that escaped from the wind cave will be eliminated soon.
Bishamonten noticed that every time a monster was eliminated, the dark crow would return to the purple-haired woman, as if...
Convey power.
She couldn't help but think of the monster she had seen before, which was sucked into a layer of skin.
"...It's really a panic method."
This method of absorbing life force has always been taboo. If it is used without exception, it will be marked as "evil". Even if it is a god, it will not be sincerely accepted by Gao Tianyuan, but will be thrown to Izana for reasons.
In the underworld where the Great God of Beauty lives, Izanami will not let go of the playthings that she finally threw in. Those gods serve as if they are imprisoned in the underworld full of monsters.
Bishamonten frowned. Although she didn't have much prejudice, she was not used to seeing such an evil and cruel way of sucking life. However, then, she found something else that caught her attention.
In front of this massive group of monsters, a thin beam of light was not very conspicuous. If it were not for the fact that things that glow at night are more obvious, this beam of light might have been ignored.
"This is……"
Bishamonten's expression became strange:
"Is there a sacred weapon that is performing the 'Ye'? That direction is Xiaofu, right? Wait—"
