Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

She took a deep breath, gathered the spiritual power within her body, and looked towards the dozens of evil spirits walking towards her and Yexing. Her teeth gradually lengthened, transforming into sharp, pointed shapes, and her pupils became vertical slits.

“Here, I call out my true name.”

“Tamamo-no-Mae!”

After calling out the true name of her soul, Tamamo-no-Mae's body suddenly changed, transforming back into a huge white fox spirit.

A fluffy tail swayed in the air. Although she was an evil spirit, her appearance gave people a sense of holiness and nobility.

“Only one tail…”

Seeing that Tamamo-no-Mae only had one tail after transforming into her true form, Yexing muttered to himself noncommittally.

Like Tamamo-no-Mae, Hachishaku-sama, and even the true forms of spiritualists, these special spiritual beings all have symbols on their appearance that represent their level of power.

For example, Yotsuya Miko's Hundred-Eyes, the number of eyes on her body's surface, represents her own power. The more eyes, the stronger the power.

In legends, there is even a saying:

Once the Hundred-Eyes collects a hundred eyeballs, it will bring unprecedented terror and disaster to the world.

Then there's Futaba Rio's Hone-Onna, which is the number of bones in her body, and Hachishaku-sama is the height of her figure, of course, referring to her true form.

Tamamo-no-Mae, in legends, is a fox spirit with nine tails, but now she only has one.

This also means that, from the beginning until now, her terrifying power, which even made Futaba Rio, Yotsuya Miko, and others feel somewhat apprehensive, is only her newborn stage.

“Roar!!!”

Tamamo-no-Mae, transformed into her true form, let out a beast-like roar. Her white, sharp claws slammed down, instantly crushing several split bodies born from the earthquake evil spirit into powder.

Immediately afterwards, without the slightest hesitation, she moved very quickly and pounced directly towards the earthquake evil spirit.

“Wooo… Woooo…”

The earthquake evil spirit's sobbing became more and more obvious, not like the sound of one person, but like hundreds of children and women crying at the same time, which was both sad and extremely eerie.

Before Tamamo-no-Mae could bite the opponent's body, the earthquake evil spirit's hands suddenly lowered from its face.

What appeared in front of her was a face without skin, only a thin layer of flesh covering the bones, like a skull.

“Bang!”

The earthquake evil spirit's hands grabbed Tamamo-no-Mae's neck, directly smashing the opponent's huge body onto the ground like picking up a puppy.

Tamamo-no-Mae whimpered in pain, but still struggled desperately, trying to break free from the opponent's hands and continue to attack.

At this moment, she and Yexing noticed at the same time that faint black mist had appeared outside Soubu High School.

The moment she saw the black mist appear, Tamamo-no-Mae's heart sank.

The area that originally had no black mist now had black mist because of the arrival of this disgusting, huge evil spirit.

Could it be that… the opponent's power has become so strong that the black mist will actively follow?

After the first round of fighting, Tamamo-no-Mae had already realized that the bizarre and terrifying evil spirit in front of her was the most powerful thing she had ever faced since her birth, far beyond the level of ordinary evil spirits.

She simply couldn’t win.

Even Yexing, who had never lost, would probably find it very棘手 to face such a powerful twisted evil spirit.

If the black mist wraps around this area, will the evil spirit born from the earthquake, like the previous four evil spirits, have the ability to draw power from the black mist and constantly recover?

If that's the case…

How can we win?

Yexing obviously realized this too.

“I can't continue to hold back my power, I have to go all out…”

Seemingly sensing the master's will, the Onimaru Kunitsuna at Yexing's waist automatically unsheathed, the dark black blade trembling and making a cheerful, joyful cry.

“Onimaru Kunitsuna, I'm counting on you.”

Yexing smiled and stroked the blade of Onimaru Kunitsuna, and once again called out the true name of his soul.

“Annihilate evil completely, the end of eight million.”

The moment the black mask and cloak covered his body, his right arm also merged with the pale ghost hand.

“This time, we have to make a quick decision.”

Yexing realized that he had to completely obliterate the earthquake evil spirit before the black mist could connect with it.

Judging from the fact that Tamamo-no-Mae's sharp teeth could bite the opponent's body but failed to cause any damage, this guy is not only powerful, but his defense is also amazing.

With Tamamo-no-Mae's power, she couldn't even break his defense.

In that case, whether it's the Unlimited Blade Works, Chidori, or Amaterasu that he used to use, constructed from soul manifestations and memories in his mind, it seems that they won't be able to achieve the effect of a one-hit kill.

It has to be another level up.

“Domain Expansion.”

Yexing held the hilt of Onimaru Kunitsuna in his right hand, and his left hand turned into the appearance of a dark ghost hand, for the first time gathering all the power of the evil spirits he had devoured in his life at this moment, unleashing it without reservation.

“Shingyō Tōma.”

The moment his voice fell, Tamamo-no-Mae, who was fighting the earthquake evil spirit, discovered that changes had occurred around her.

The blood-red moon in the sky disappeared, and the surrounding faint black mist also vanished without a trace.

This place no longer seemed to be the Reverse World, but it wasn't the real world either.

Although it still looks like Soubu High, it resembles an independent zone. Tamamo-no-Mae couldn't even sense any spiritual power in the air, which proves it.

“Is this… Night Star-kun's ability?”

Godly Purification Exorcism is also a new ability unlocked by Night Star after devouring several evil spirits fused with “Gates.”

The nature of this domain is somewhat similar to that protagonist's Imagine Breaker, but still not quite the same.

Within this domain, Night Star won't gain unique enhancements like Miko Yotsuya. This domain itself isn't for enhancement but more like a seal.

When the domain expands, everything non-existent in this world will be dragged into it, completely severing contact with the outside world. Moreover, there's no spiritual power in this domain.

This also means that evil spirits cannot recover or replenish their power. After death, they won't even turn into black aura and dissipate but will be completely annihilated by the power of Godly Purification Exorcism, as if they never existed in this world.

However, the side effect is also obvious.

That is the rapid consumption of spiritual power.

“Using it at full power for the first time… it's really tiring.”

Feeling the power within his body rapidly draining, Night Star didn't plan to delay any further.

He looked at Tamamo-no-Mae, who was entangled with the earthquake evil spirit, raised the Onimaru Kunitsuna in his right hand, and said softly.

“Sorry, Tama.”

From the black tip of Onimaru Kunitsuna, a black light, like a sphere, condensed from pure evil spirit power, distorting and trembling even the air.

“Cero.”

The air seemed to solidify at this moment.

Even the sound was frozen.

Only a black pillar of light illuminated this domain.

The earth-shattering scene, coupled with the completely silent and dead atmosphere, made it hard to breathe.

… …

When Tamamo-no-Mae opened her eyes again, she felt a pain all over her body.

She was lying on the ground, having transformed back into her human form, her wide kimono tattered, with a hole in her abdomen.

“Where is this…”

Tamamo-no-Mae lay on the ground, looking at the moon in the sky, which was no longer so bright red and had returned to its normal light red color, and tried her best to look to the side.

There was no earthquake evil spirit, nor black mist.

It was as if none of this had ever happened.

Only Night Star, standing there with his right arm missing, and Onimaru Kunitsuna, with several deep gaps in its black blade, lying on the ground.

“Sorry, Tamamo-no-Mae.”

Seeing Night Star walk in front of her and say this expressionlessly, a bitter smile appeared on Tamamo-no-Mae's face.

So, the so-called apology…

That's what it meant…

“Don't blame you… Night Star-kun…”

Tamamo-no-Mae, on the verge of dissipating, knew that she wouldn't survive such injuries. She didn't blame or feel angry but comforted him softly with her usual gentle voice.

“Our first joint battle… is also the last… We won. Facing such a powerful enemy, my sacrifice… is inevitable…”

Tamamo-no-Mae took a deep breath. The pain from her abdomen made it difficult for her to speak.

She stared at Night Star's outstanding face, a few infatuated expressions appearing in her eyes.

“It's a pity, if there was still time… I would have a last wish… to taste your flavor… Unfortunately… there's no time.”

“Huh?”

Just when the atmosphere was sentimental, like in a traditional RPG game when a teammate dies and the knives start to come out, Night Star looked puzzled.

“Why are you talking about last words? You're not going to die.”

“Eh?”

Tamamo-no-Mae was stunned for a moment.

“Then why did you say sorry?”

“What I'm sorry for is this.”

Night Star said with a serious face.

“Don't overthink it. This is the only way to save you.”

Next, Tamamo-no-Mae saw the other party's actions and couldn't help but blush slightly, making a flustered sound.

“What… what are you doing taking off your pants…”

“Eh, eh… what are you going to do…”

“Going to… put it in my mouth?”

“Mmm…”

Chapter 225 Contract Upgrade, Plan to Purge Kyoto City

Tamamo-no-Mae fulfilled her lifelong wish, which was to taste the flavor of Night Star, a professional exorcist.

She did taste it, although not in the way she wanted, but…

She did taste it.

And, she swallowed it happily.

… …

At the same time, inside the power plant in the Reverse World.

“Power is restored.”

Hearing Yagami Souichirou's report, Futaba Rio and Sakurajima Mai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Restoring power meant that the Paranormal Phenomenon Research Club, which had been passively defending from the beginning, had finally taken the first step in a counterattack.

But this was just the beginning.

During the process of repairing the power plant, Yagami Souichirou had the police officers investigate the situation in the surrounding area.

Five dead, all of whom were the first workers to come to repair the power plant.

The condition of the corpses… was very bloody, torn to pieces, with blood and fragments all over the ground. It was impossible to piece the bodies back together without a forensic doctor.

The police officers didn't know the truth and thought it was the work of some kind of wild beast.
