Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Yagami Light removed his red gloves, his hands transforming into the form of a Great Tengu, with sharp claws and undisguised fanatical killing intent in his eyes, as he slowly walked towards Shuten-dōji standing there.

“You want to kill him? Then I’ll kill you first!”

“Clang!”

Yagami Light's claws swung forward, colliding with Shuten-dōji's long sword.

“You guys go evacuate the hostages.”

Yotsuya Miko said this to Sakurajima Mai and Futaba Rio, twirling Mikazuki Munechika beautifully in her hand, and walked step by step towards the Hannya standing there, saying softly.

“I said, you will die by my Mikazuki Munechika.”

“Is that so?”

The Hannya mask revealed a sinister smile, and it whispered to the surroundings.

“Then please take a look at the gift we have prepared for you.”

As its voice fell, in the originally calm stairwell of the Kyoto Tower, hundreds of densely packed, even overlapping, evil spirits surged forth like a black tide.

Shuten-dōji slashed back Yagami Light with his sword, looking towards Yotsuya Miko and the others.

“Now tell me, who will die here today?”

Looking at the hundreds of evil spirits that had formed a encirclement, filling the entire hall, Futaba Rio, Yotsuya Miko, Sakurajima Mai, and Yagami Light at the other end of the arena all felt immense pressure.

With so many evil spirits present, fighting Shuten-dōji and Hannya might still have a chance of victory.

But don't forget, there are more than two hundred hostages right in front of them.

If they had to be distracted to protect these hostages… …

They definitely wouldn't win.

Even if Yotsuya Miko, Sakurajima Mai, and Futaba Rio had subjectively prepared themselves to abandon rescuing the hostages and prioritize killing Shuten-dōji and Hannya, they couldn't help but be distracted by watching innocent humans die tragically before their eyes.

“Taking the lives of innocents as a threat…”

Sakurajima Mai looked at Shuten-dōji and Hannya, who had playful expressions, enjoying the fun like cats toying with mice, and gritted her teeth.

“What a vicious plan.”

“This is the weakness of you humans.”

Shuten-dōji's crimson oni mask revealed a smug look.

“These low-level evil spirits are nothing to us, we wouldn't even blink an eye if a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand of them died.”

“As powerful supernatural beings, you still regard these weak humans as your own kind, and you are distracted by their deaths…”

“I have seen too many of you so-called exorcists, you are truly uninteresting and weak.”

Just then.

Everyone in the arena, including Shuten-dōji and Hannya, simultaneously felt an unusually powerful surge of spiritual power.

They turned their heads to look, only to see a scene they had never witnessed before in their lives.

Space, as if torn apart, was forcibly pried open by two ghostly hands of contrasting colors, pale and jet-black.

And within that rift, was the red moon from the Reverse Side that they were very familiar with, as well as the thick black energy accumulated after the deaths of a large number of evil spirits.

In the black smoke that almost obscured the vision, a foot slowly stepped out, landing on the floor of the top floor of Kyoto Tower.

The jet-black mask and the hem of the burning black coat were reflected in the eyes of Shuten-dōji and Hannya.

“What disgusting creatures.”

Chapter 233: Two Evil Spirits in Fear, The Mask Descends from the Sky

“Yoru… ‘Mask’!”

Seeing Yoru Hoshi suddenly appear at this critical moment, Sakurajima Mai was so excited that she almost exposed Kyoto's number one butter shooter in front of more than two hundred passersby.

“Thank you for your hard work these past few days.”

Hearing Yoru Hoshi's smiling words, Futaba Rio breathed a sigh of relief, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and snorted.

“Hmph, that sounds more like a human talking.”

Compared to the excitement and joy that Sakurajima Mai, Futaba Rio, Yotsuya Miko, and Yagami Light felt when they saw Yoru Hoshi appear, Hannya and Shuten-dōji reacted completely differently, even their bodies began to tremble.

They said they weren't afraid…

But in reality, how could they not be afraid?

If they weren't extremely afraid, to the point of not even having the courage to fight him head-on, the arrogant and conceited Shuten-dōji wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to set a trap, insisting on trapping Yoru Hoshi in the Reverse Side.

It was very clear that the other party's power was completely on a different level from the other spirit power users in the Supernatural Society!

Shuten-dōji and Hannya exchanged a glance, and almost without hesitation, they flashed into the crowd of people crouching on the ground, hugging their heads.

Hannya's chosen target was a little girl.

Shuten-dōji's choice was the little girl's mother.

They simultaneously kidnapped a human, Shuten-dōji held his long sword across the young mother's neck, looking at the "Mask" who had already transformed, with heavy black energy still lingering on his body due to the previous slaughter of too many evil spirits, threatening ferociously.

“Take another step, and I will kill this woman, and all these humans!”

“Hehe.”

Faced with Shuten-dōji's threat, a white smiley face appeared on Yoru Hoshi's pure black mask.

“Are you kidding your dad?”

Immediately afterwards, Yoru Hoshi didn't even look at Shuten-dōji and Hannya, or the hostages in the hands of these two evil spirits, his gaze instead turned to Yagami Light standing there.

“Why did you come?”

“Your companion… that one…”

Yagami Light pointed at Miko Yotsuya standing there, and after a few seconds of silence, he replied with a smile.

"I didn't bother to remember her name. Anyway, I know everything that's happened in Kyoto recently. I came specifically to bring you back from the Reverse World."

Saying this, Yagami Light shook his head with a wry smile.

"But it seems like I'm not needed at all."

After their joint operation in Tokyo last time, Miko Yotsuya understood Yagami Light's personality, so she wasn't surprised or offended that he didn't remember her name.

Yagami Light was just that kind of person.

In his eyes, perhaps only Yozora could be considered a comrade.

As for people like herself who possessed similar abilities, if it weren't for Yozora, Yagami Light probably wouldn't even give them a second glance.

Miko Yotsuya understood it clearly.

Yagami Light wasn't a homosexual.

He simply only acknowledged Yozora.

That was why, when contacting him, Miko Yotsuya didn't say anything about Kyoto being in danger or evil spirits running rampant and killing people, because she knew he wouldn't care.

But as soon as she mentioned Yozora's name, Yagami Light immediately agreed to come to Kyoto to help, to search for the traces of evil spirits and bring Yozora back from the Reverse World.

Moreover, "Kira," the extra temporary worker of the Overlimit Company who had been in Tokyo and not within Shuten-doji and Hannya's plans, was also the most important trump card in Futaba Rio's plan.

But now it seemed like it wasn't needed.

"Is that so."

Yozora nodded noncommittally, looked at Futaba Rio, and chuckled.

"Contact Chief Yagami and have him come up to rescue the hostages. This credit should go to my sworn brother, Soichiro."

Hearing this, Yagami Light couldn't help but roll his eyes.

You little brat, you're definitely doing this on purpose, aren't you?

Yagami, Chief, and even specifically mentioning Soichiro, saying his full name and title, as if afraid I wouldn't know that the sworn brother you're talking about is my father, right?

Then what am I?

Your grand-nephew?

"Okay, I understand."

During this incident, Yagami Soichiro had been a great help, especially during the power plant repair. Futaba Rio also felt that this credit should be given to him. After all, if Chief Yagami could get a promotion or something, the Overlimit Company's future operations in Kyoto would become much smoother.

"Chief Yagami, please come up and rescue the hostages."

Before meeting, these people completely disregarded my threats, Shuten-doji roared, his eyes wide with fury.

"Shut up! Didn't you hear what I said!? If anyone dares to come up, I'll use my demon sword Muramasa to kill everyone here, one by one!"

"Hehe."

Yozora was skilled at provoking evil spirits, with a full talent for it.

He looked at the long sword in Shuten-doji's hand, his eyes filled with teasing.

"You're just bragging, aren't you? If that broken sword of yours is Muramasa, then the one on my waist is Dojigiri Yasutsuna."

"Oh right, Dojigiri Yasutsuna, which Doji did it cut again? I forgot, remind me."

Miko Yotsuya knew Yozora's style and helpfully added.

"It cut Shuten-doji, which is this red-faced monster."

"Oh, that's what happened."

Yozora drawled out his words, sounding sarcastic, looking at Shuten-doji's face, which was so angry that it was turning black, and smiled.

"Getting anxious, getting anxious, someone's overheating, clown Doji."

"You bastard…"

Shuten-doji was indeed about to lose his temper.

Although it wasn't the real Shuten-doji, from its perspective, it was the real Shuten-doji.

Shuten-doji regarded the story of Dojigiri Yasutsuna as the greatest shame of its life.

Just like the Tall Woman that Yozora encountered when he first entered the Reverse World.

Under such humiliation, Shuten-doji, who was already irritable and easily angered, had lost his mind.

"You can only enjoy a moment of quick wit."

"I might as well tell you that the thousands of evil spirits I have subdued in Kyoto City during this time are all inside this Kyoto Tower."

Shuten-doji grinned, the blade in his hand cutting through the neck of the young mother, sticking out his tongue, and licking the blood flowing from the wound, looking very satisfied.

"Now tell me, how are you going to save all these weak humans under the encirclement of me, Hannya, and thousands of powerful evil spirits? Huh? Hero 'Kamen'?"

"Laughing to death, you really think of me as a hero?"

The smile in Yozora's eyes gradually disappeared, and he said in a calm tone.

"All the power is here? Very good, I'm very satisfied."

"Remember, you are the challengers."

"Domain Expansion…"

The hem of Yozora's black coat burned like raging flames, and he said softly.

"Shingyō: Tōma."

The moment they felt the fluctuation of spiritual power, both Shuten-doji and Hannya's expressions changed, and they unhesitatingly looked towards the humans they were originally holding hostage…

Wait a minute.

Shuten-doji and Hannya glanced at their arms and found that the humans they were originally holding hostage had inexplicably disappeared.

Not only the little girl and her mother.

Even the two hundred or so hostages who were originally in the empty hall had disappeared without a trace.

"This… this…"

Shuten-doji and Hannya's expressions changed, and they couldn't understand what had happened.
