Chapter 22: Not Metamorphic

Deep in his thoughts, Kazuki paced quickly, but he did not mess up his steps.

Although he took the first strike, his strength was not strong enough. Thus, he returned back to Akichi High School to figure out a plan.

While thinking, a sharp shriek came from the Class Four of sophomore year. Kazuki’s heart tensed up, but in the next instance, the scream became weak, so he felt a sense of relief.

In addition to the evil and good spirits, there was another type of soul known as the wraith.

This type of soul was able to turn into a human and itself had high power, only in death would it become a wraith.

Dealing with a wraith was easy, if one’s mind was stronger than the opponent’s, say the opponent’s father, then once should have no problem in crushing the enemy. If one’s mind was weaker than the opponent’s, say the opponent’s grandson, unless one had strong attack skills or individual instruments. Otherwise, they stood no chance against the wraith.

He thought that when the wraith howled, it was getting ready for an attack, but he did not expect the howling to be so weak. But judging from the sound, he guessed that the three talismans have probably made the wraith felt pain.

Kazuki did not turn back, as he was not quite interested, he only knew that he had to increase his pace.

In the Class Four of sophomore year, there was a total of 32 students. He did not know that these students were united as a group. However, he had encountered a tall student before this, and as he sliced him in half, he felt an apparent resistance in the cut.

At least he was not in Metamorphosis State; if he were to encounter a demon there, he definitely could not defeat it.

His foundation was strong.

In his hands, he held the Sun and Moon Sword which was letting out a buzzing sound, as if conveying an overwhelming emotion, and it seemed to scream understandingly– Kill! Kill! Kill~

Kazuki understood that the Sun and Moon Sword had a strong fighting desire.

Previously, Kazuki had a jeweled sword. It was an instrument, but after activating it, the sword’s spiritual consciousness was very benign. Though it was just recently activated, it could not absorb such a large amount of spiritual energy. Hence it tore a hole in space.

In this moment of trance, it was the sword’s spirit that protected his life. It returned Kazuki back into his original body and left him with a tremendous amount of reiki, it then dissipated, losing its vitality.

One must understand that although the sword’s spirit was destroyed, and unless the owner was dead, then the souls would fly away and scatter; otherwise, it would not perish if there was a bit of the presence of reiki.

However, when the sword’s spirit protected Kazuki, it immediately lost its vitality and became genuinely dead.

The spirit of the Sun and Moon Sword was different from the spirits of the previous swords, this fellow had a natural desire for battle, it wished to return and fight the demons for another 300 rounds. But Kazuki understood that both of them were very different, and wondered how he could satisfy the sword’s strong desire for a battle.

He wanted to withdraw, but that would not put him at ease.

A whistling sound cut through the air, Kazuki felt unsteady, and his complexion changed slightly. As soon as he turned around, he saw countless arms rushing toward him.

He could not escape!

Kazuki suddenly thought of an idea. He held his sword and charged forward.

In the next moment, the Sun and Moon Sword was hit by many fists.

Snap! ——

The sword broke, and the strong impact from the force caused Kimura to be knocked onto the floor, he rolled several times, dust covering his face as he felt his innards turn and his mind was spinning.

“Kimura!?”

“Are you okay, Kimura?!”

In that instance, two voices were heard from the side of his ears, it was a man and a woman. Kimura glanced to the side, it was Aokiji and Shiori!

At this time Aokiji held a torchlight in one hand and a phone in the other. At that moment the phone dialed a number… The ringing was very piercing to his ears, but because there were evil spirits around, so Kimura chose to forget about it.

“There’s a ghost! Get out of here!!” shouted Kazuki. During their conversation, the surrounding reiki stirred aggressively, white mists rushed from the remaining hilt of the Sun and Moon Sword in his hand.

Within a few seconds, the hilt of the sword grew back into its original shape, the misty sword emitted a buzzing sound, the little fellow was angry, it still wished to attack, clearly not afraid of death.

There’s a ghost?

Before Aokiji and Shiori had time to react, they saw how Kazuki’s Sun and Moon Sword swiftly restored itself, the incredible power of the sword left them startled.

They both came up from the central staircase, and because of the perspective from the stairs, they were unable to see the evil spirit. But as they were halfway up the stairs, they witnessed Kazuki rolling on the ground.

However, the current situation had made them on guard. Aokiji had proven himself worthy of being called the moderator of [Final Forum], and within these three years, he had gained experience from all sorts of scary places, given the opportunity to explore more than he would definitely do so.

Although he was filled with a strong sense of curiosity, he understood where and when was the right time to make decisions.

In the next second, he held onto his curiosity with great excitement as if he was Shiori that had discovered a whole new world, and wished to go down the stairs immediately. However, before he could take another two steps, he looked back and refused to move further; his heart began to race, his face was filled with fear, and he was motionless.

Reflected in Aokiji and Chiba eyes was a demon about three meters tall.

The demon’s body was decorated with masks, it was as if they were tattooed onto its body, a pair of black eyes with no sclera, looked coldly at Kazuki with a vengeance. At the sides of its body were countless arms waving!

The demon had no head, but it had feet. It ignored Aokiji and Chiba and was entirely fixated on Kazuki.

At that moment, Aokiji and Chiba eyes were terrified and shocked, their bodies felt weak, they were courageous despite meeting such a demon, if not they would have been so afraid that they would have drenched themselves!

But due to their trembling and helpless body, both of them refused to move. This creature in front of them had subverted the three.

The next moment, both of them suddenly sniffed a burning smell…

“B*stard.”

“Mother f-”

“Not good!” Kazuki who was not too far, saw Aokiji and Chiba who were having motionless eyes, he secretly called to them, but both of them have been affected by the burnt smell.

Kimura had the Ghost Expelling Talisman. Hence he was unaffected by the smell temporarily. However, the other two were ordinary humans, it was likely for them to be affected. The demon did not need to mind them, as he just stood in front of them, Aokiji and Chiba were running out of time, and they would die soon.

At this time, the demon’s arms had recovered, although it destroyed the Sun and Moon sword, the sword was not a vegan, hence, in an instance, it managed to cut down a few of the demon’s palms.

Despite so… a few seconds passed, and the demon’s palms had already returned to normal.

Seeing this, Kazuki quickly took out two Ghost Expelling Talismans which let out traces of reiki, he then threw the talismans toward Aokiji and Chiba.

At least these two would not die here!

If he were to escape and those two were dead, everyone would have misunderstood that he killed Aokiji and Chiba, unless the police were informed of this situation.

Even then, if he were thrown into the Yellow River, he would not be cleansed.

With the two talismans thrown out, the two of them remained dazed but showed signs of awareness, hence Kazuki no longer worried for those two.

Because now multiple arms were charging toward Kazuki.

Spirit Stabilizer Talisman!

Kazuki subconsciously held the yellow talisman in his hand, he then threw the Spirit Stabilizer Talisman which stuck onto the demon’s arm, a ray of golden light shone out, and the light began twisting as if it wanted to suppress the demon’s arms.

The Spirit Stabilizer Talisman had worked.

However, the dozens of arms just paused for a moment, then they instantly broke through the golden light, it was unstoppable as it charged toward Kazuki again.

But at that moment, Kazuki was smiling.

This demon… is not metamorphic!
