Truth is everywhere within range

The monkey ghost dusted himself off and looked down the mountain nervously.

"Idiot, why are you making such a loud noise!"

On the other side, in the shrine, a monster with eight legs and plier-like hands shook his protruding eyes, quite helplessly.

"The barrier here wouldn't be so easy to break, if it weren't for that"

"Oops, it seems I've been discovered."

In front of the torii gate of the shrine, a monster with sinister features looked at the mountain gate in the distance.

"What are you thinking about? Run quickly, if you get caught by that witch"

The monkey ghost couldn't help but shudder.

The witch in the paradise is a very terrifying existence for monsters like them. Since ancient times, she has killed countless monsters who tried to invade the paradise in search of treasures.

"Did you get it?"

It asked again towards its companions in the shrine.

"Got it."

"Okay, let's hurry up."

The monkey ghost hasn't finished speaking yet.

boom--

A rocket landed on the ground between them.

A small mushroom cloud rose from the ground.

Retrace the trajectory of the rocket as it landed.

You can see that in the bamboo forest, Qiao Qiao's cannon made of blood fell apart the moment it fired the rocket.

Shigure on the side widened his eyes.

"Hey, if this happens, even the shrine will be affected"

"Huh? Doesn't your shrine have insurance?"

Qiao Qiao looked at the mushroom cloud and asked in hindsight.

"Sorry, I did it subconsciously."

Qiao Qiao used his vampire vision to confirm what happened at the shrine.

In the explosion, although the shrine suffered some damage, the three monsters were also swallowed up by the explosion. According to the spiritual power of the rocket, although it is not expected to directly obliterate them, it is enough to prevent those monsters from further actions. .

"Those guys are probably here to steal."

Before Shigure could finish her words, the spirit around her suddenly grew larger.

It was only then that Sayoko confirmed that these spirits turned out to be mice.

One of the spirits expanded, holding up Shigure's petite body.

"You guys too."

Shigure asked the other two spirits to come under Qiao Qiao and Sayoko, and the three of them just rode on the spirits and flew quickly towards the direction of the shrine.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!"

Qiao Qiao's mouth trembled slightly.

Sayoko held on to the soft cotton-like spirit body tightly. Although it was the first time to fly at such a high speed, she did not feel scared.

Of course, it's because the fear has been transferred to Qiao Qiao.

"This guy, although he uses this kind of killer weapon with a straight face, is unexpectedly timid? What is this, the contrasting cuteness that is popular recently?"

Shigure glanced at the panicked Qiao Qiao, and asked the spirit body under him to hold on to Qiao Qiao tightly to prevent him from struggling and falling.

In contrast, this girl is more calm.

Shigure suddenly understood.

I see.

This is the kind of setting that often appears in novels.

Something like an elegant and invincible rich lady and a violent and panicked guard.

This Sayoko may be the truly strongest spirit slayer.

Otherwise, why would he hardly feel the presence of spiritual power from her body.

In just the blink of an eye, the three of them were back in front of the shrine's torii gate.

The dust has not settled yet, but in Shigure's spiritual vision, he can already see three weird ones struggling to get up.

She snorted softly, and a spirit rat next to her suddenly opened its mouth.

Shigure put his hand into it and suddenly pulled out a long sheathed knife.

Compared to Shigure's petite figure, this sword is slightly longer, and the scabbard is blue and black, similar in color to Shigure's hem.

The handle of the knife is crimson, with a certain fiery and passionate feeling.

"Because I'm a bit destructive when I move, I generally don't like to do it at home."

Shigure sighed softly.

The long sword is unsheathed.

Qiao Qiao is still preparing to use exorcism bullets to shoot at the monsters in the dust.

Shigure's petite body had already penetrated it.

Only a four-armed black ape, a huge deep purple crab, and a rat with metallic luster and fangs like blades appeared in the dust.

In addition to their original characteristics, these three weird bodies also have countless eyeballs, tentacles, corruption and other characteristics.

It is very similar to the monster crime gang that Qiao Qiao and Ii Masaharu teamed up to eliminate before.

Their bodies gradually expanded, and in comparison, Shigure standing between the three monsters was as small as an ant.

But she didn't care.

The blade on his shoulder turned, and the dazzling blade was dyed with crimson flames and penetrated directly through the crab.

"!!!"

The unknown roar shook the sky, and the crab's body seemed to be contaminated with eternal flames, spreading rapidly. No matter how strong the Yin Qi was, it was difficult to extinguish it.

"Ah, it turned into grilled crab."

Qiao Qiao sighed with emotion, and the blood on his hand turned into the shape of a gun, and he loaded all the exorcism bullets prepared for this trip in his schoolbag into it.

Da da da da da——

The bullet hit the rat's body.

Judging from the feedback sound, the skin should be quite hard.

Unfortunately, under the disturbance of spiritual power, the bullet easily penetrated the mouse's skin and hit the flesh, creating cavities. The spiritual power eroded the monster's body.

While Qiao Qiao was shooting, Shigure's blade flipped again.

Facing the ape ghost rushing toward her, she didn't move even half a step, only flicking her wrist.

The burning blade split the monkey ghost into two, together with the small half of the shrine behind it.

Boom——

Shigure's sword casually swung.

The head of the mouse beside him was raised high, and the movements of the entire body stopped.

Then he was swallowed up by fire.

In just a few seconds.

The three monsters were eliminated one by one by Shigure.

Easy and freehand.

It's as simple as breathing.

only.

"It's all burning up."

Sayoko looked at the entire shrine.

At this moment, the shrine, which Shigure calls the main shrine of Izumo Taisha, and which truly has a long history, is gradually falling in flames.

The flames on those monsters seemed to be inextinguishable. They could ignite wooden houses, flowers, plants, and even stones.

The three monsters probably destroyed half of the shrine.

Qiao Qiao destroyed half of the shrine with a rocket.

Shigure's three swords destroyed most of the shrine.

What exactly are you protecting?

Sayoko couldn't help but want to complain.

Shigure silently put the sword into its sheath, and in an instant, all the flames were extinguished.

She stuffed the knife into the mouth of the spiritual mouse, looked at the shrine in a mess, and sighed helplessly.

"It's okay. The house can still be rebuilt. Although it may be a bit expensive without insurance, I know a very good construction company that may be able to help. Thinking from a different perspective, at least we defeated the invading monsters."

Qiao Qiao seemed to be deeply touched and patted Shigure's shoulder.

"Um?"

But he found that Shigure was trembling slightly.

"gone"

Shigure muttered.

"Gone!"

"What's missing?"

Qiao Qiao looked at the ruined shrine and was confused.
