Chapter 19

"Feel honored; you will be the first monster to witness the birth of this secret sword."

"Hiss hiss!!"

The sea spider hissed, fear flashing in its eyes, as if it felt its life was threatened.

Its animal instinct was warning it that this was a crisis that would inevitably lead to its demise!

But the greed for the Shikon Jewel outweighed everything, causing it to become increasingly manic. It roared angrily, its four pairs of chelicerae pressing down like tentacles destroying the world, as if it wanted to resist the intent from its instinct.

"Mr. Luo...!!"

In the distance, Higurashi Kagome, watching the battle, clenched her hands nervously, her heart in her throat.

At the tense moment when everyone was holding their breath.

Severing the ties of the mundane world,

Singing of desire with the living,

Pursuing the infinite as a swordsman.

My age is long forgotten,

My face is no longer what it once was.

Training is my daily routine.

Day after day, persisting without complaint...

Until the moment before death, I will slowly exhale my last breath in this mountain.

—The ultimate blade is finally formed; the sword light flashes and vanishes on the moon of the void.

"Secret Sword: Swallow Reversal."

He spat out the words indifferently, his hand gripping the hilt suddenly swinging a blade at the behemoth.

The blade was as fast as a ghost, like a white thunderbolt.

At the moment of swinging the blade, the trajectories of the sword swings from other parallel universes were revealed.

One strike...

Two strikes...

Three strikes...

He actually swung a blade at three different positions at the same time.

Three strikes overlapped, unavoidable, causing multiple dimensional spaces to twist, instantly sealing all escape routes for the sea spider.

"Boom—!!"

Unable to even let out a wail, the behemoth was beheaded, its massive body collapsing with a bang, stirring up countless dust, and then it split into countless pieces of flesh, turning into faint light particles and dissipating in the wind.

The breeze blew, stopping at the stunning gaze of the girl in the distance.

A-rank evil spirit, dead!

19. Treasure Killing Stone, Shock from Jianshan Huang Quan!

The moonlight was hazy, the Sawtooth Mountain Great Forest became quiet, and the aura of the evil spirit dissipated faintly.

Where the "sea spider" disappeared, something seemed to fall with a clatter. Brother Luo Shu raised his eyebrows and walked over with interest.

In the soil, he saw wisps of mysterious red light flickering, as if the devil were tempting him.

"So it's this..."

The young man bent down, thoughtful, and picked up a smooth, blood-colored jade bead from the ground.

Accompanied by silver ripples, a detailed information bar appeared on the left side of his perspective.

【Killing Stone】

【Attribute: Evil Faction】

【Rank: Fourth Rank Strengthening Treasure】

【Origin: A thousand years ago, a nine-tailed fox demon transformed into a peerless dancer to bewitch the Emperor and wreak havoc on the court, only to be seen through by the great onmyoji Taicheng. After the Emperor sobered up, he was furious and ordered the encirclement and killing of the fleeing fox demon.】

【Finally, she was encircled and killed at Nasuno by tens of thousands of troops led by Miura-no-suke, as well as onmyoji.】

【--Because she died in endless resentment, her massive demonic power and soul essence condensed into the Killing Stone, divided into nine, of different sizes, scattered across the island nation, once again bringing disaster to the human world.】

【Usage: Swallow or wear; the power depends on the host's resentment and hatred.】

【Effect: Obtain different superpowers according to one's wishes, such as teleportation, rapid physical growth, resurrection after death...】

【Side Effect: As time passes, there is a risk of the soul being eroded and the self and body being destroyed to become an evil spirit.】

"Not bad..."

Brother Luo Shu rubbed his chin with his thumb, thoughtful.

This is a Fourth Rank strengthening treasure, rare even when looking at the whole world.

Theoretically speaking, if the host's compatibility can reach 100%, even an ordinary person can instantly become a Fourth Rank powerhouse, which is the Servant level of the Fate/stay night series, although they have no combat experience...

No wonder this A-rank evil spirit could perceive the Shikon Jewel on Higurashi Kagome.

It turns out it held the same type of treasure.

The young man fell into deep thought, suddenly remembering that he seemed to have seen a related anime somewhere.

The anime is called "Ga-Rei: Zero," and the heroine in it is Jianshan Huang Quan. The main plot revolves around the Killing Stone, unfolding a series of grievances and entanglements. The function of the Killing Stone is exactly the same as the one in his hand.

So it's this world...

He scratched his head.

If he remembers correctly, the Ga-Rei: Zero world has a world-ending crisis.

Really dangerous; his current strength is completely insufficient...

The road ahead is long and arduous, and I will search high and low.

Very well, continue to develop cautiously!

He raised his eyebrows slightly and tucked the blood-colored jade bead into his pocket.

After sensing a fiery gaze staring at him tightly, Brother Luo Shu smiled and turned around, saying gently to the beautiful girl in the sailor suit:

"Miss Higurashi, let's go, I'll take you back."

"Mm... Mm-hmm!!"

Kagome lowered her head with a guilty conscience, the blush on her face not yet faded.

He walked by her side, walking toward the city contentedly under the moonlight.

The background of the two gradually faded.

Leaving behind the devastated great forest.

Not long after...

"Step, step, step, step...!!"

Accompanied by the sound of neat footsteps, hundreds of official personnel in dark orange uniforms arrived.

It was the personnel of the Chiba City Bureau of Disaster Countermeasures. They held demon-slaying weapons, their eyes serious, with a sense of looking at death as if it were a return home. The entire bureau had been dispatched, and even the clerical staff had been pulled out to make up the numbers.

With such a big formation, one can imagine how dangerous it will be next.

Immediately, the troops spread out from the middle, giving way to a wide passage.

Jianshan Huang Quan walked out of the passage. She wore black long stockings and held the divine sword Lion King. The massive spirit beast Nue accompanied the girl, its entire body overflowing with a terrifying aura that made people shudder.

Huang Quan looked at the devastated earth, could not help but frown, her expression solemn.

Then, she bent down and squatted on the ground, wiped the soil with her index finger, sniffed it in front of her fair nose, and suddenly stood up with an expression of disbelief.

Although the soil still had a faint aura of the evil spirit, it dissipated rapidly like water in the boundless sea.

Without a doubt, this only happens when an evil spirit is purged.

"A-rank evil spirit... eliminated?!"

Jianshan Huang Quan's gaze was horrified, her chest heaving in shock.

You know, from the time the Bureau of Disaster Countermeasures observed the spiritual waves of the A-rank evil spirit to the time they assembled the entire bureau to arrive, it might have taken less than half an hour. Someone eliminated the evil spirit in such a short time.

Simply incredible!

That is a top-tier evil spirit capable of triggering a ghost disaster and endangering the existence of the entire city.

The grading of disasters in Neon is sorted by letters: A-rank, B-rank, C-rank, D-rank...

A-rank evil spirits are already the strongest evil spirits on the surface.

Although Jianshan Huang Quan is a top-notch powerhouse in the Neon demon-slaying world.

She is not confident in purging an A-rank evil spirit, and even if she joined forces with hundreds of demon slayers, it is very possible that she would die here.
