While people with different purposes are gathering towards the city, the exorcists in the countermeasure room are busy with the current state of affairs.

The appearance of the four seasons seems to have turned on some kind of switch, and the spiritual disaster in the city has become more serious in the past few days. The countermeasures room was working almost 24-hour shifts to deal with incidents, and even then it was still overstretched.

"I'm tired!"

Kensuke sat down in a chair in the headquarters office, as if he had run a marathon.

"Good work."

Iwabata walked over and placed a cup of coffee on Kensuke's table.

"I come to work on Saturdays and Sundays."

The result of mobilizing all forces is that newcomers like Kensuke are also pulled strong, of course, because they are newcomers, they won't have too high-intensity work, but for a high school student, maybe paperwork is a harder thing than moving muscles.

"Ahh Did Mr. Iwabata rest? ”

"Hmm."

Iwabata had just changed shifts.

"What's going on now? It always feels like something is going to happen. ”

Kensuke's face was full of confusion.

"Hmmm......"

"Does Mr. Iwabata know?"

"Uh...... This would have been classified. ”

Iwabata frowned.

"Sounds amazing."

Kensuke's curiosity was piqued.

"The spiritual disasters that have come in recent days are all because the flow of spiritual veins has been disrupted. You know what a spiritual vein is, right? ”

"Well, I heard from Kyoko."

"That's good. In fact, it is said that in the underground of Hibiya Park, a certain terrifying existence is sealed with spiritual veins. ”

"What the hell? Ahem! ”

Kensuke, who was choking on coffee, coughed incessantly.

"Are you alright?"

Iwabata hurriedly went over and patted Kensuke on the back.

"No, it's okay......"

I don't know why Kensuke always felt that Iwabata's eyes were a little strange, and then a colleague walked past them and suddenly showed some kind of meaningful look.

Quickly putting those strange thoughts away, Kensuke shifted back to the point.

"The existence of the seal? Could it be that the Great Demon King can't succeed? ”

"It's pretty much something like that, once the seal is broken, the city will be destroyed."

Kensuke was eager to hear Iwabata say it was just a joke, but Iwabata's face was extremely serious.

"If the spirit vein is destroyed, the seal will be broken, which is the result of the speculation of the room masters. So the countermeasure room can be so nervous, you understand, right? ”

"Hmm."

Kensuke nodded, allowing himself to accept the matter.

"By the way? How was the investigation of the 'Heavenly Demon' before? Could it have something to do with the current situation? ”

"I don't know. The investigation has no clue at all, but it is too coincidental to say that it is a coincidence. ”

Iwabata spread his hands.

At that moment, the door to the office was forcefully opened, and all eyes were on it.

"Emergency! The third squad has lost contact! ”

"What?"

The words of the visitor suddenly made everyone nervous.

"Third Squad...... That's Kyoko's squad! ”

Kensuke remembered the previous assignment.

…………

In the vicinity of the Capital Expressway, the streets are deserted and deserted during rush hour.

"Who are you!?"

Kyoko clenched the talisman in her hand, her tone full of vigilance. Next to her were a few people, all of whom were companions in the strategy room. None of them died, but there was no way to stand up.

"Oh? And someone who can stand up? ”

The culprit who caused all this spoke in a brisk tone, as if he didn't see Kyoko's nervousness at all.

"It turned out to be the eldest lady of the Yin-Yang Dao family."

"You know me? Who are you? ”

Kyoko nervously kept her distance from the other party.

"Are you the one who destroys the spiritual veins?"

"Are you still planning to get information at this time?"

The other party smiled, her long pale blonde hair fluttering in the breeze, and she looked down at Kyoko.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you. We are the Forbidden Path. ”

"What?"

Hearing this name, Kyoko couldn't help but have a stunned expression, because the Forbidden Way of Curses was a school of exorcists that existed in the past, the same as the Yin and Yang Ways led by their countermeasure room, but it was later abolished in the Nara period, and now it is almost extinct, and I never thought that the descendants of the Forbidden Way would appear here.

"What are you going to do? Do you want to go to war with our Yin-Yang Dao! ”

"In the past, our ancestors failed and had to go into exile, hiding in dark corners. But now it's time for a change. ”

"Changing ......"

Hearing the other party's words, various thoughts quickly flashed through Kyoko's mind, holding a grudge because of being expelled, thinking that one day she could replace the Yin Yang Dao.

"So you're using the seals in the city?"

"What is it?"

The other party did not answer positively.

“……”

Kyoko looked around nervously, there was no one else in front of her except the woman who cursed the forbidden way, but there was no guarantee that no one else was around. At this time, there are still companions around who can't leave them alone, so the only way is to subdue the other party as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, Kyoko made a move, and a large number of spells were thrown, flying towards the enemy's location.

The spells filled the entire field of vision like snowflakes flying in the sky, and each spell was as sharp as a blade.

The enemy dodged the spell's attack with a slight leap backwards, but that was just Kyoko's attempt to obstruct the other's view.

Just as the enemy was dodging, Kyoko's two-handed seal had already completed the spell.

"Shakti Vajra Mantra!"

Lightning shone from Kyoko's hands, and a dazzling bolt of lightning fell towards the enemy.

Kyoko's strongest spell is a powerful attack that uses the power of the thunderbolt of the Emperor.

The other party didn't have time to dodge before he was struck by that thunderbolt.

"Whew...... Whew......"

After calming down her breath a little, the dust stirred up by the thunder and lightning also dissipated at this time, and then a scene that stunned Kyoko appeared in front of her eyes.

"How is that possible?"

The other party stood there safe and sound, and even a type A evil spirit would be injured and attacked, but there was not even a single scar on her body.

"Attack me with lightning?"

A mocking sound came from the other party's mouth, and then Kyoko saw it, and a huge creature emerged behind the other party. It looks a little similar to a catfish, but it is much larger in size, and electricity flashes from time to time from that creature.

"Spirit Beast...... Thunderbeast: Black Four. ”

"That's right. It's funny that you actually use lightning to attack a spirit beast that uses thunder and lightning. ”

"Who are you, how can you have this spirit beast?"

"I think you've guessed it, right? I am the next leader of the Curse Dao Sect, and I am afraid of the quiet flow of the wilderness. ”

The girl gave her name.

"Then now you lie down."

With the order of the still stream, the thunder and lightning emitted by the black four enveloped Kyoko.

After Kyoko also falls, a bandaged man comes to Shizuru's side.

"Are you going to kill them?"

"No, have you forgotten our purpose?"

Shizuru glanced at Kyoko, who had fainted on the ground, and then left without looking back.
