"Master!"
"Master!"
"Master!"
Following those calls, Otake Maru, Momijigari, Suzuhiko Hime, and the others all made huge leaps back to Luo Zhen's side. They surrounded him in a triangle formation, shielding him within it while warily staring at Takimiko in midair.
The retreat of the powerful demons allowed Amami Daizen, Otomojin, Yamashiro Kojin, and the others to breathe a sigh of relief as well. They retreated one after another, opening up the distance.
"Master!"
Even Dojikumaru turned around and leaped back to Luo Zhen's side, protecting him.
Both sides stopped at the same time, becoming wary of the abnormal situation that had clearly fallen into an extraordinary state.
"Don't think you can run, Dojikumaru!"
Only Kusabane seemed to have gone completely berserk. He ignored everything else and charged straight toward Dojikumaru.
Unfortunately, before Kusabane could reach him, a terrifying mass of demonic qi slammed into his body and sent him flying.
Kusabane crashed into an Exorcism Bureau transport vehicle. The vehicle exploded, flames surged into the air, and his tall, slender body was engulfed within them. The Core Cracking Phenomenon began occurring on Kusabane's body without pause.
"You really think I can't deal with you?"
Dojikumaru snorted coldly and withdrew the fist he had just thrown. Together with Otake Maru and the others, he turned his vigilance toward Takimiko in the sky.
Luo Zhen paid none of this any mind. He merely gazed at Takimiko, who was floating in midair.
Takimiko had stopped crying out. As if she had lost all consciousness, she hung limp like a puppet on strings, her limbs dangling weakly and her eyes tightly shut. Her red hair continued to whip about, making the ten hair ornaments atop her head tremble and nearly burst apart.
At the same time, divine aura poured endlessly from Takimiko's body
