Outside Atsuta Jingu.

A figure slowly emerged.

He wears a hoodie and looks to be in his early twenties, with a hedgehog head and a stud earring in his left ear.

"Huh."

He smiled, the vertical pupils of his eyes narrowing slightly.

"There are a total of one hundred and twenty-seven enchantments, dozens more than the last time."

As he said this, he didn't feel any tension in his movements, and stepped into the realm around the shrine step by step.

An invisible ripple could be seen spreading on the tip of his toe, but it was just a ripple, and nothing unusual was produced.

He walked in all his way.

Atsuta Jingu Shrine is not just a shrine, but also a site with a long history.

The man looked at the scenery around him as if he were appreciating the scenery.

Only, whenever he walks by.

Plants and trees decay, the land decays, and organisms wither.

If any soul exorcist saw this, he would definitely exclaim.

This is a worm.

It is also a big monster recorded by the association, but the python is obviously more mysterious than the python.

The reason why the python is famous is because he started as a small monster, gradually evaded the encirclement and suppression of the spirit exterminator, and grew up fighting wits and courage with humans for hundreds of years.

And the anabecine is different.

Pythons are born nobles.

When it was born, it possessed spiritual power equivalent to a hundred years of savings for ordinary monsters, and in the five hundred years of its history, although it did not admit to the management of the soul slayer, it also did not fight with the spirit slayer.

Therefore, no one knows the secret of the worm either.

Take a leisurely stroll and walk slowly on the stone road.

There's still plenty of time tonight.

There were spiritual power inductions from the west, and the pillars of light that only spiritual vision could see lit up again and again.

This is good.

Anagona thought.

Forty years ago, it stumbled upon a python.

The self-conscious python actually challenged it.

Naturally, the result was almost beaten back to its original shape.

After that, the python became the defeated of the python.

Like tonight, the python is a pawn.

A pawn used to weaken Atsuta Jingu's defenses.

The Society Guardian Enchantment can detect youkai and banish evil spirits, but it doesn't work against them.

This is the biggest hole card of the oyster.

for it is a descendant of that Being.

A snake demon who once fought with Susanoo and was eventually killed.

The eight-headed and eight-tailed Yaki Orochi.

The Heavenly Cloud Sword was born from the body of the Yaqi Great Snake and has the power of a snake in itself.

Most of the spells related to Atsuta Shrine are drawn from the Heavenly Cloud Sword.

In other words, they all originated from the Yaki Orochi.

Since they are of the same kind, how can there be rejection.

The worm passed through several barriers, and gradually approached the main hall of the shrine from the mountain road behind the mountain.

The reason why it was able to steal the Heavenly Cloud Sword unknowingly was also because of its own bloodline.

The Heavenly Cloud Sword had no way to resist the bloodline of the Yaqi Great Snake.

It's a pity that something went wrong halfway, and the python had to go to great lengths, and even had to sacrifice the python to attract attention and return to the shrine.

In the spiritual vision, there are still many people in the shrine.

Kill them all.

The worm thought casually.

It was at this time.

It suddenly felt as if it had tripped over something.

Click-

A tight steel wire lifted a certain ring, and while the oyster was still confused, the blast wave of the explosion had swallowed him.

Boom –

......

"There is a situation."

Qiao Qiao heard the sound of the explosion and immediately stopped what he was doing.

He pulled out the already assembled revolver and confirmed the bullets.

At this moment, a second explosion rang out again.

It had not been quiet for long before a series of explosions rang out, and they were getting closer and closer.

"This way?"

Qiao Qiao frowned slightly.

Now I have nothing to use except for a pistol, twenty-four bursting bullets, thirty spirit removal bullets, six spirit removal grenades, half a box of plastic [beep-] medicine, ten detonators, and two directional spirit removal mines.

It's a shame that the sniper howitzer shouldn't have been taken out in order to reduce weight.

Qiao Qiao made a quick decision and quickly made a simple arrangement.

At the same time, I called Kotokui Masato, but unfortunately, the signal didn't know what was wrong and couldn't be connected.

As for Asano Ariko, she held the model of the Yamato and watched Qiao Qiao do these preparations in a daze.

"It may only be able to delay the other party's actions, but it is enough."

Qiao Qiao stood up and was about to evacuate with Asako Asano.

A figure emerges from among the trees.

His face was full of scorched black and burn marks, and the clothes on his body were tattered and riddled with holes, and it could be seen that this was the guy who triggered Qiao Qiao's trap.

The embarrassed appearance did not hide the arrogance of its expression, and the orange vertical pupils looked at Qiao Qiao.

"Landmines? Hand grenade? Dynamite? ”

It spoke, and it was a hoarse voice.

"Humanity has fallen to such an extent, huh."

"Don't go any further."

Qiao Qiao raised his gun, and since the two sides were several meters apart, he was loading ordinary soul killing bullets.

"Please raise your hands and report your name, affiliation, and purpose, or I'm going to shoot."

"Innocent!"

He sneered, ignored Qiao Qiao's warning, and took a step forward.

Boom –

One step happened to step on the mine, and countless fragments and steel balls burst out from under his feet, enveloping the whole body of the worm in an instant.

"I warned you."

Qiao Qiao adjusted his position.

“......”

When the smoke cleared, the worm still stood in place, as if it had been greatly traumatized, and remained motionless.

The clothes were even more torn.

The wounds on his body are healing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

"Sure enough, for the big monster, this level of spiritual power is not enough to be fatal."

Qiao Qiao muttered to himself.

"Teacher, should we run first?"

Asano Riko held the model of the Yamato, glanced at the worm, and said to Qiao Qiao.

"No, you don't have to run."

Qiao Qiao rejected the offer.

"Even if we escape here, this youkai will catch up."

"Because its target is none other than Asano Shrine Maiden."

“？”

Asako Asano, stunned.

On the other side, the eye's gaze swept over the two of them and quickly fixed on Ariko Asano.

"Found it."

It thought.

"Why were the youkai able to steal the Celestial Cloud Sword but never leave Nagoya, it was because what they stole was only a part of the Celestial Plexus Cloud Sword."

Qiao Qiao said briefly while on guard.

It's not just an explanation, it's more like a ritual.

Some kind of ritual to break down barriers.

"The warehouse that has been left unattended for a hundred years has become the god of mourning, so why can't the Tiancong Cloud Sword, which has been placed for thousands of years and accepted the offering, have its own spiritual sense?"

"The snake demons stole the Tiancong Cloud Sword, but after they got their hands on it, they found that the spiritual sense of the Tiancong Cloud Sword, or the sword spirit of the Tiancong Cloud Sword, was missing."

"They can only stay in Nagoya and search for sword spirits."

"But what I didn't expect was that the sword spirit of the Heavenly Cloud Sword, through the operation of the meme, had already attached itself to the body of a trainee witch in the Atsuta Shrine."

"This is, Asano Shrine Maiden."
