32. What a good thing!
“──A star.”
The wizard called the source of his power.
The alpha star of Orion floating in space, Betelgeuse.
A star that sees everything under the sky.
No stars appeared in the sky of the spirit vein, separated from reality, and only the crimson full moon shone in the moonlight, but it didn’t matter.
“A star.”
The magic star is not in the sky, it is already engraved in the soul.
“Give me strength.”
Eris Betelgeuse, the star wizard, summoned the soul star.
─Expanded.
Fire magic.
Fire tornado.
No window, no order.
A storm of catastrophe that was strengthened with the energy of the stars rose from the ground.
The calamity of flame mixed with sparse golden light whirled and flew away in an instant, burning the school building where the new monsters raised their heads.
Fire—!
The storm made no distinction between the concrete buildings and the slaughter of the monsters, and burned everything mercilessly.
─Keee
Looking at the monsters screaming in horror, Eris refined the magical power of the stars again.
The grace of the stars was engraved on his head.
A huge amount of magic power gathered in the air, and soon it formed a star.
“──Expanded.”
Transcendence magic.
Falling Star.
As Eris Betelgeuse commands, stars fall from the black sky.
It’s not just a pretty sparkling star, it’s a manifestation of destruction that will wipe out all monsters.
A golden star fell to the ground.
Quaaa!
The wave of youkai that had been rushing in disappeared just as it was.
***
“hahahaha, if it’s this easy, you won’t even be able to practice!”
Suddenly—!
With every step you take, every time you turn your wrist, sword light rises, and the youkai’s neck and limbs fly.
─Ugh?
Suddenly!
The Yo-kai offers his head with a blank expression, not even knowing what he was cut by.
Usually, I would have been teasing and killing slowly, but today I didn’t have that kind of free time.
Kwaaang!
Fly through the air by spurring the ground.
If even that is not enough, trample on the air and fly higher than a skyscraper.
Such a beautiful performance will surely attract people’s jealousy and attention,
‘The art of darkness.’
It is covered in pitch-black darkness and shadows.
Like the monsters before midnight hid in the dark, I also put on clothes over my body.
The wildly shimmering shadows hide my wildly moving body from people’s eyes.
Erasing the existence of ‘I’ from the cognition of the deceased.
It’s a pity that the media can’t capture my performance, but stars are usually annoying, so they show up selectively.
Suddenly! Awesome!
In the blink of an eye, it decapitates the monster and disappears into the darkness.
Contrary to the shadow that hid my body, a blue flame of magical power follows me.
It wipes out the black monsters in your hands, and the waves of flame burn and kill the ghosts.
After killing dozens of people, burning them, and repeating the slaughter like a raksha-
“Hmm, should this be enough?”
I wiped the blood from my cheek with a fresh feeling, then inserted the sword.
The blood on the back of my hand soon turned to ash and flew away, and the hill of corpses in front of me also turned into gray mist and disappeared.
It was about 30 minutes after the baekgwi night began.
Thousands of monsters killed and tens of thousands of ghosts burned.
I have cleared all the areas around Minato-ku, the location of Karakura High School, which I declared as my territory.
“Hmm, that’s neat!”
There might be two or three ghosts hiding somewhere, but all the monsters in the block were wiped out.
Faster than originally expected.
Anyway, it seemed like I was used to playing with Kenichi and handling my body.
“What a great thing!”
I averted my gaze, promising to play with Kenichi when today’s work is over.
I finished my area as planned, so it was my turn to help the others.
You guys are really lazy to say that you can’t clean up all the thousands of monsters in time.
So the sincere me should help.
──The art of observation.
In an instant, I formed a magic formula and spread magic far and wide, and I grasped the general situation in Tokyo.
‘For now, pass Shinagawa, where the Shihei family is located.’
From noble mtl dot com
Shihei is a place where there are many close people, but she has given her request, so she trusts it and leaves it to her.
The family itself was strong, and most of all, the current head of the family, Shihei Rin, was not a woman who was easygoing.
Apart from me, he was the first person to find out about this Hundred Ghost Night Trip, so he’ll take care of it himself.
For a similar reason, the Nerima Kudo Pass of another Tokyo family, the Kenju family.
On the contrary, they might have been more exceptional at catching a monster.
The greatest samurai in mainland Japan.
As they are the ones who reached the top among the exorcists with their bare fists, you can trust them and leave it to them.
“Then the Shihei will be in charge of the south, and the Kenju family will be in charge of the northwest.”
The only thing left is to the northeast.
Chiyoda Ward, Chuo Ward, Koto Ward, Bunkyo Ward, Arikawa Ward, Taito Ward, Sumida Ward, Adachi Ward, Katsushika Ward, Edogawa Ward, etc.
It seemed that I would only have to take charge of about 10 more divisions.
“Let’s go.”
***
‘…… It’s worth doing more than I thought.’
A thought came to Kenichi as he cut off the head of the attacking youkai.
How many were killed?
I didn’t know the exact number, but it was the point when my nose got used to the bloody smell and became numb.
The ghosts of the past disappeared in ashes, but whether today is a special day or because this land called spirit vein was divided, their corpses remained.
‘My arms are heavy.’
It was obviously because of the blood soaked in the shirt.
To the point of feeling uncomfortable, the hand holding the sword trembled because it was so full.
Kenichi still held his sword firmly.
After beating them all, I still wanted to run away, but it was worth it.
─Quaaang!
There is not one fire support, but two.
Sento cast spells at the right time, and Eris overpowered one side with overwhelming firepower.
There were no surprise attacks, probably thanks to the clear field of view.
Geniuses who had reached their peak were only overwhelmed with their natural ability and power.
‘Only I need to do well.’
All I had to do was catch the monsters while the sento in the rear prepared the spell.
There were no variables.
All I had to do was jump down from the teacher’s side and catch the running yokai, and run quickly to the yokai that occasionally appeared nearby and cut their throats.
Yeah, I just need to get my head together.
In the face of the wave of monsters that came incessantly again, Kenichi forcibly and firmly gripped his sword.
It was at that moment that my ankle was caught by a dark red hand that suddenly protruded from the ground.
“…… What?!”
A startled Kenichi tried to slash with his sword, but his dark red hand exerted great force and knocked Kenichi off balance.
‘…… This!’
Kenichi couldn’t cut off the monster’s wrist in time, and soon his body bounced off the ground.
─Bake it…… !
The torso, hands, and feet were all made up of dozens of dark red hands.
I can’t even guess what kind of ghost and emotion it was made of, a monster.
Crouching like a round ball, the guy hit the ground with Kenichi in his hand.
Quaaang!
…… Cool! Locked to the ground, Kenichi lost consciousness for a moment, but he grabbed hold of it with all his might and forcibly swung the sword in his hand.
Suddenly!
─Bake it!
I cut the dark red hand holding my ankle. Kenichi immediately got up from his seat and pulled him behind him.
Quang! There was a time when a red-handed monster threw out its other hand and attacked him, but more than that, his head was dizzy.
Kenichi patted the swollen side of his face and exhaled.
“Are you okay?”
“…… Oh, it’s still worth doing.”
As he answered that, Kenichi smiled bitterly.
Even if I tried to whine now, it didn’t make any sense, so I answered it, but everyone knew it was a lie.
Sento Sawamura, who usually doesn’t even talk, has a worried expression for some reason.
‘…… Am I in a bit of a precarious situation right now?’
Certainly, it was because of the aftermath of the shock I had just had, and my body and mind were on the verge of being knocked down.
At this rate, he wanted to fall to the ground.
I was confident that I could do without a blanket, but if I did something like that in the current situation, I wouldn’t be able to wake up forever, let alone close my eyes for a while.
“…… We will definitely win.”
I will definitely come back alive.
Reciting an incantation, Kenichi Rin glared at the monster in front of him with wide eyes.
The yokai, who had approached him wriggling his sword-red hands, soon attacked with dozens of hands wide open.
“──Definitely kill.”
Flame! Burned the magic power of his heart.
A small amount of mana quickly dispersed and spread throughout the body, becoming the driving force for swinging the sword.
Suddenly…… ! Kenichi gripped the handle of his sword firmly and swung it.
──Ichimaru Ryu, slash.
Like a sword attack I saw once.
Whitish magical smoke flickered over the blade, and the sword cut through the youkai.
Suddenly! In one breath, I cut off the wrist that was attacking me, and then the torso.
Kenichi never let go of the swinging sword even when he was bathed in red blood.
─It was cut.
Quad Deuk! Several times, the gigantic monster’s body was torn in half by its nose.
─Bake it……
Kwaaang—! The red-handed monster fell obliquely, making a roaring noise, and the wind blew dust.
Kenichi stood blankly and looked down at his hand.
He seemed to have realized something.
