Chapter 137

"Ya le ya le daze."

As soon as she finished speaking, she demonstrated her 'Ripple Qi Gong' attack method. Then, she picked up a piece of wood, a layer of spiritual energy wrapped around her arm, and smashed it towards the little devil's head.

After a ripple, the little devil's figure vanished without a trace.

"Luckily, no one saw it. Otherwise, it would be a minor embarrassment if I were actually recognized as a fake Mor Isummer, which would be a real problem."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Nibuya Morika's lips. There was a hidden scratch on her clothes, a result of being accidentally injured by the other party earlier.

She was facing off against a malevolent spirit that was a skilled dancer. In her previous life, she was an old woman with a short stature, a flailing body, and wildly waving hands that were difficult to fathom.

"However, it's time to end this!"

A hint of coldness appeared in her eyes as she mastered the unarmed combat techniques she hadn't been able to grasp before, using skillful footwork to keep up with her opponent's movements.

The two sides were practically dancing together.

In the next instant, Nibuya Morika anticipated the movement of his feet and slashed horizontally with a hand chop infused with spiritual energy.

The evil spirit had no vital organs, and her attack just happened to take away the last bit of health from its opponent.

After watching the evil spirit dissipate, the girl tidied herself up, making herself appear to have won more easily, before heading back the way she came.

The three girls returned to the venue at different times.

"This is Yotsuya Miko I introduced to you before."

The introductions will begin once everyone, including Hasegawa Izumi, has arrived.

"Hello everyone, I'm a newcomer, Yotsuya Miko."

Yotsuya Miko was a little nervous, but she still bowed slightly in a very polite manner.

"Newcomer, your attitude is good!"

This pleased Dekomori Sanae greatly, and she patted her on the shoulder.

"It looks quite ordinary."

Natsukawa Masuzu glanced at it a few times but couldn't figure it out.

"Nice to meet you, Yotsuya."

Nibuya Morika responded politely.

"Don't want..."

"Let me go!"

"Integrate... integrate... become one!"

Just then, a sudden change occurred in the venue. Howls and wailing filled the air, and the darkness became overwhelming, as if shrouding the surroundings in a mist.

28. In heaven and on earth, I alone am supreme.

"What's wrong?"

Yotsuya Miko quickly noticed the change in atmosphere and followed everyone's gaze to the side.

Although her Onmyo Eyes was not activated, her previous intuition had told her that many evil spirits existed there.

But at this moment, the feeling became even more pronounced, to the point that she began to hallucinate and hear some sounds... No, that's not a hallucination!

She really heard it; it was a terrifying murmur that seemed to come from hell.

"Ah...!"

With a roar, she saw visible black mist rising from the ground, and several enormous phantoms becoming clearer.

The transformation from the abstract to the concrete is beyond the comprehension of a young girl.

"This is really bad!"

Sweat beaded on her forehead.

The other Girlish Heart also somewhat unsettled; the scene before them was rather frightening. However, because they were standing next to the Club President, they were able to maintain their composure.

Club President, you're a god forever!

They had never seen, or even imagined, a Club President who couldn't win.

"I see. It's because I accidentally released too much spiritual pressure just now, and what was originally a daunting threat turned into a deadly one? So, out of the instinct for survival, I resorted to the method of mutual devouring to strengthen myself in a short period of time."

Hasegawa Izumi made a judgment at a glance.

Under normal circumstances, these wandering evil spirits would not resort to this method when the difference in strength is not significant, since it would likely result in the loss of their independence. Even though their human nature has been reduced to the limit, they have not forgotten this point, but this instinct is still lower than the instinct for survival.

As the evil spirits devoured each other, their body parts became entangled and, without time to digest, combined into four bizarre creatures that resembled corpses pieced together.

"Huh, it just stopped like that?"

"Could it be that they have reached the limit of evolution and died?"

"These guys don't think they can beat the Club President like this, do they? Even though they look pretty big."

Nibuya, Dekumori and Natsukawa were shocked and confused.

"They have indeed reached their limit. Not all spirits can improve indefinitely. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too easy to raise a ghost king in this world today?"

Hasegawa Izumi confirmed their guess, and at the same time, she took several steps and suddenly stepped onto the wooden railing of the platform she had been on.

Wow, so fast!

The girls felt a blur before their eyes blinked, and then shifted their gaze to the other side of the venue.

At this moment, the four stitched-together evil spirits completely ignored everyone else and focused all their attention on Hasegawa Izumi, gathering below the platform with dozens of scarlet eyes fixed on her.

"Regarding your invitation, I regret to inform you that you are not capable of arousing my interest in dancing."

But the latter stood with his arms crossed, looking down at the sky, his icy blue eyes lowered, radiating a chilling aura, as if he were the only one worthy of respect in the world.

"Arrogant fellow."

"This is an insult."

"I want to eat him!"

"Let's do it! We can't let him leave alive!"

"It feels like by consuming his soul, we will usher in the highest evolution!"

A cacophony of voices emanated from the bodies of several evil spirits, seemingly due to a split personality caused by their fusion and evolution, but also an increase in their intelligence and resentment.

Without further ado, the four evil spirits prepared to launch their attack. Ghostly energy continued to emerge, and human limbs sprouted from their bodies from various places—arms, feet, mouths—creating a horrifying scene that even a human centipede couldn't fully describe, accompanied by vicious and cruel curses.

"This is scarier than a horror movie!"

"Will we have to prepare to deal with this kind of enemy in the future?"

"To be honest, even Dekumori can't accept death."

"I feel like I'm going to have nightmares tonight."

The four girls present had indescribable expressions upon witnessing this scene.

The previous kind of evil spirit, while somewhat terrifying, was still relatively human-like, and could be barely tolerated after a while. This one, however, looks truly disgusting.

Hasegawa Izumi, standing on the high platform, had a similar feeling.

He also has his own sense of beauty and aesthetics, and this is clearly something he finds repulsive.

"This world has become filthy again."

He sighed and said no more, wanting only to sweep all these things into the trash heap.

He spread his elbows out, and his index fingers formed a triangle with his hands.

This is the hand seal for the B-rank Fire Release ninjutsu, Great Fire Annihilation, from the Naruto world.

In reality, the original hand seals were much more complex, but once a skill is mastered to a certain degree, it can be transformed from something ordinary to something extraordinary.

For Hasegawa Izumi, the hand seals could be omitted, but doing so would be like abandoning the incantation of Shinigami curse, which would inevitably reduce its power.

This constraint from the original world is itself a way to enhance power.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

He gathered his spiritual power in his throat and spewed out a vast expanse of flames, as large as the sea, which enveloped the location of the four evil spirits.

This demonstrates his precise control over power, even to the point where he can exert ten times the force of a single unit.

As a result, even though the spiritual power used by both sides might be roughly the same, the outcome of the battle was one-sided.

Under the intensely hot flames of spiritual energy, the sinister ghostly aura emanating from the evil spirits was like burning cotton, utterly powerless to resist, and instead, it set them ablaze.

"Ah...!"

Amidst the cries of agony, everything around them burned to ashes, and the flames burning in the void gradually disappeared, leaving only the constructed platform standing firmly, as if nothing had happened.

"Call--"

The scorching heat hit me, and the hot wind whipped my bangs up my forehead.

The group of girls stared in disbelief, regarding the figure in the moonlight as if he were a god.

After the upheaval, the girls from the Far East Magic Society assessed the extent of Hasegawa's power, but their estimates were not too far off.

After all, according to Hasegawa, spiritual power only came into existence after the celestial upheaval, so theoretically, everyone's starting point should be roughly the same.

However, they finally realized that their perspective was still too narrow.

"Has the Seeker of Truth's power reached such a level?"

Nibuya Morika looked up, her eyes revealing a different emotion.

"The Lord Sage is so incredibly handsome! Dekumori is completely captivated..."

Dekomori Sanae cupped her cheeks in her hands, and it seemed as if hearts appeared in her eyes.

"JOJO, human abilities have limits. I've learned one thing from my short life: the more you scheme and plot, the more you'll discover that human abilities have limits, unless you transcend humanity."

Natsukawa Masuzu's mouth was slightly open as she recalled a line from a famous scene and suddenly understood everything.

How could a human possibly catch up to such a monster!

If they are like this, what about another young girl who has just entered this field?

That spirited and confident demeanor, effortlessly vanquishing all evil spirits, is deeply etched in my mind.

"Strength is beauty."

This greatly inspired the girl's pursuit of power.

Just after the flames had finished burning.

Were you setting off fireworks just now?

"Why is it gone?"

"I thought there was a fireworks display here."

Suddenly, several outsiders arrived, their eyes scanning the area.

They had just seen a bright light from a short distance away, which drew them in.

Hasegawa Izumi smiled without saying a word, and under their shocked gazes, she leaped off the high platform.

"What!?"

Aren't you afraid of falling from such a height?

"Does he think he's handsome? Well... he really is quite handsome."

This scene was truly astonishing.

"There was indeed a fireworks display just now, but it's such a shame, it's a unique memory just for us."

Beside her, Natsukawa Masuzu smiled.

"Oh, I see. Looks like we're out of luck."

The well-dressed college girl, who clearly came from a wealthy family, was taken aback.

"Ha, you're lucky. If you had actually seen it, your mere mortal minds would not have been able to withstand the death."
