Truth is everywhere within range

Kitashirakawa Rika shot an arrow and hit an old god in the distance that looked like a crab and was covered in rocks.

Immediately afterwards, countless bombardments exploded on the old god. Although it was not as high as the damage caused by Kitashirakawa Rika's arrow, it was still extremely damaging to those dependents.

With each shot, the spreading spiritual power can cause a group of dependents to fall apart and fall from the old god.

"Looks like the situation is under control"

While observing the battlefield situation, Ii Masaharu organized the exorcists to carry out defensive counterattacks.

In the first few minutes, several shrines were attacked by the old gods. However, after the battle at Qiaoqiao and the organized and planned counterattack by the spiritual masters, in the past twenty minutes, there has been no shrine left. The barrier disappeared.

According to the investigation, most of the citizens have also entered the shrines or facilities where they have taken refuge. What we have to do now is to maintain this state and continue to eliminate the old gods.

Currently, six old gods have fallen, and there are still seven left.

The scope of Hell's Edge has also been reduced a lot, and it is currently concentrated in the Shinjuku area.

The old gods seemed to realize something was wrong.

These humans seem to be a bit powerful.

Especially the one in armor.

Four of the remaining seven old gods have gathered together to create a large number of dependents and focus on attacking a shrine.

The overwhelming monsters enveloped the pillar of light, and even from the rooftop of the Soul Exterminator Association, it was difficult to see whether the shrine still existed.

Kitashirakawa Rika raised her left hand holding the bow, wanting to support Qiao Qiao who was fighting with the four old gods.

Just as she was about to launch the arrow, a certain premonition emerged in her heart.

She raised her head.

There seemed to be something restless in the red clouds.

Buzz——

With a buzz of spiritual energy, the clouds were pushed away.

A huge creature is falling towards the building of the Soul Exorcist Association.

It was an old god.

He took on the shape of a huge eye. The whites of the eyes were red and bloodshot. There were multiple reflections in the pupils, and behind the eyeballs, there were countless wriggling tentacles.

This eyeball is very huge, far larger than the building of the Soul Exorcist Association.

Under the impact of an object of this size and mass, not only Shinjuku, but also Tokyo, which is currently in hell, will suffer a devastating blow.

Let alone the barrier, whether this city can continue to exist is still unknown.

This old god was not so big originally. It seems that after discovering the change in the plan, he hid above the clouds and continued to accumulate strength before becoming what he is now.

Although she didn't know if it was a self-destruction attack, Kitashirakawa Rika did feel the majestic power and oppression.

"Are you coming here?"

Ii Masaharu let the cannon aim its muzzle at the old god with eyeballs.

Kitashirakawa Rika shot an arrow. In front of the eyeball's pupil, the arrows of light seemed to hit some invisible barrier and spread out, without causing substantial damage to the old god of the eyeball.

The artillery fire then exploded on the surface of the eyeball, but like Kitashirakawa Rika's arrow, it was blocked by a strong barrier.

The speed of the eyeball falling was very slow at first, but gradually accelerated, heading towards the building of the Soul Exterminator Association.

"Did you attack because you saw that there was no effective defense here?"

Ii Masaharu closed the bat fan in his hand.

With a slight sigh, he waved his fan.

While Kitashirakawa Rika didn't know what was happening, a figure came out from behind Ii Masaharu.

"well?"

Kitashirakawa Rika was stunned when she saw the other side's profile.

"Sister beloved?"

She called out the other person's name.

Yes.

At this moment, the person who appeared in front of Kitashirakawa Rika was none other than the receptionist of the Shinjuku branch of the Waguo Soul Exorcist Association, Sakura Koae.

She was still wearing the uniform of a receptionist, but at a speed that Kitashirakawa Rika could not see clearly, she came to the center of the rooftop and jumped high.

"W-what?"

Several spirit exterminators on the rooftop often interacted with Miss Sakura, but no one could see that she would be the one to stand up at such a time.

He clearly looks like an ordinary person with weak spiritual power.

Although she used to be a shrine maiden, she has retired a long time ago, and now she only assists the spirit slayers in the Soul Slayer Association. This is her understanding.

But what is this now?

The exorcists were dumbfounded as they watched Miss Sakura retract her right hand and make a fist, as if she wanted to confront the old god of eyeballs head-on.

The old god of eyeballs was falling extremely fast at this time. He crushed several taller buildings nearby and was about to fall on everyone's heads.

"Does she want to push that thing back?"

Kato Takaya of the Onnyangryo sighed while making his final struggle.

Among the people present, apart from Masaharu Ii, probably only Rika Kitashirakawa knew Miss Sakura's true past.

Before Kitashirakawa Rika was born, no, for a period of time after her birth, she was not actually the only candidate to serve as the presiding shrine maiden at Ise Shrine.

As one of only two alternate chief priests, she stayed at Ise Shrine to study.

And the other person is Sakura's beloved.

At that time, Sakura's beloved, whose surname was not Sakura, but Takashi. She was the illegitimate daughter of the Takashi family in Ise Shrine. Due to her strong spiritual power, she became a candidate priestess.

At that time, although there was an age gap of several years between the two and they were in a competitive relationship, Sakura Shinai still took great care of Kitashirakawa Rika, which left a deep impression on her.

At the same time, Sakura Shinto is far better than Kitashirakawa Rika in Shinto, Kyudo, Bowen, etc.

What's more important is that Sakura Shinai awakened the talent of the main priest before she became the main priest.

Just like Kitashirakawa Rika's talent is the mirror world, she can capture things through the reflection of the mirror and shoot powerful soul-killing arrows.

Sakura Shinai also has corresponding talents.

However, precisely because of her talent, Sakura Shinai was judged unfit to be the officiating miko and was screened out.

Later, due to some changes, she left Ise Shrine, came to Tokyo, changed her mother's surname, and became a receptionist at the Soul Exorcist Association.

The reason why Kitashirakawa Rika wanted to come to Tokyo and see her was partly because of Sakura's beloved.

But she never imagined that she would see Sakura's beloved here, at this time.

At this moment.

Sakura's beloved expression was solemn, and her right fist drew an arc and hit the invisible barrier of the eyeball old god.

Just when Kato Takaya and others thought that Sakura's beloved was going to be bounced away like the previous attack.

A crack appeared in the space, right where Sakura's beloved fist fell.

Click——

The crack expanded rapidly, and it seemed that the space was also broken. At the same time, Sakura's beloved fist drove straight in and hit the eyeball of the old god's body.

Time seemed to stand still.
