A Sage Could Crush a Guy Like You with One Finger / 107. A Single Glance Subdues the Soul

"I think I was just... brainwashed?"

Because the caster was engaged in battle and unable to concentrate, Otomoni Kyoko and everyone else in the room regained their senses.

"Hmm... Come to think of it, you guys seem to know a bit too much."

Hasegawa Izumi pondered for a moment, then looked at the others with a cold gaze.

Once they regained consciousness, the group quickly analyzed the situation and unanimously concluded that the mysterious man before them was just as terrifying as the two men they had encountered before.

"My lord, I know nothing!"

"Please have mercy and spare me!"

"I will keep it a secret."

Upon hearing this, many people became even more frightened and kowtowed for help.

'Horrible!'

'Could it be that the senior isn't actually Sage, but some kind of demon king or something?'

Ishigami Yuu thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

Chapter 106 A guy like you could be crushed by the Lord Sage with a single finger.

Meanwhile, above the basement, in the vast brothel, the fierce battle had just begun.

As Dekomori Sanae dragged the Bewitching Ghost into the corridor, the Bewitching Ghost, adapting to the pain, had its fingertips become sharp and long, surging with demonic energy, and directly stabbed into the throat of the human in front of it.

This strike was enough to pierce through the stone wall.

Even if a human being, with their weak physique, has the ability to defend themselves, such a vital area cannot be ignored.

Dekomori Sanae promptly released her grip, stepped on the walls on either side, and changed direction repeatedly. The electricity crackled, and she transformed into streaks of light, like seven stars falling, instantly arriving at the end of the corridor, where she slowly stood up.

"Little Sister, you're really ruthless!"

The Bewitching Ghost rubbed her neck, where there were black scorch marks left by her fingers, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

It suddenly thought of something and said, "I'm using a human body now, how can you be so heartless as to treat your own kind?"

"Holding back against an enemy is unnecessary! As a seasoned warrior, I won't be held back by such matters."

Dekomori Sanae's expression remained cold.

Even so, she did have some hesitation in her heart, because she didn't have a clear understanding of the whole situation. She wanted to eliminate this evil spirit because its aura revealed its vicious nature, and as for the person possessed, it was hard to guarantee that they weren't an unfortunate innocent person.

Girls who have received modern education tend to have remarkably high moral character.

However, in order not to put herself at a disadvantage in the battle, she pretended to be indifferent and prepared to take the opportunity to knock her opponent out of her body.

"Is that so?"

The Bewitching Ghost scrutinized her face and expression, then smiled seductively.

As they locked eyes, a deep blue light suddenly emanated from its pupils, and waves of invisible consciousness rippled outwards.

This is a tactic it uses to arouse people's desires.

What did you do!?

Dekomori Sanae suddenly felt a shock, as if something had been injected into her mind, and she became alert.

"It... didn't work?"

The Bewitching Ghost looked surprised.

"So that's how it is, it was a mental attack. I almost got killed by that ambush. But that kind of trick won't work on me. Let's fight fair and square!"

After blinking, Dekomori Sanae came to her senses, raised her index finger and shook it, revealing a defiant smile.

The girl was covered in lightning and possessed thunder within her, so naturally she had a high resistance to this kind of 'evil magic'.

"Hmph, you mere humans dare to be so arrogant!"

The Bewitching Ghost looked displeased and snorted coldly. Then she spread her arms, and a thick ghostly aura spread throughout the corridor, as if placing this area in a dark space, with only a golden light shining brightly in the darkness.

Is it Ghost Wall?

Dekomori Sanae uses herself as a light to illuminate this place, always paying attention to the surroundings where things are difficult to see.

Although not as large as the Haunted Realm I encountered some time ago, this ghost seems to be more intelligent and poses a considerable threat.

"Here!"

She was suddenly startled to realize that a ghostly hand was reaching out from behind her, its long, sharp nails gleaming with an eerie light and carrying an aura of decay.

Using the boost from the electric current, Dekomori Sanae leaped to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack, and seized the opportunity to unleash a bolt of purple lightning.

"Electric shock!"

Unexpectedly, the attack missed its mark.

The Bewitching Ghost figure instantly vanished into the darkness. The electric shock struck the black mist, tearing open a small crack and revealing the wall of the real world.

As soon as the thought flashed through Dekomori Sanae's mind, several demonic hands reached out from under her feet and grabbed her calves. At the same time, an equal number of demonic hands reached out from both sides, trying to completely control her limbs.

"Get out of here, Death!"

She roared, unleashing her spiritual power, which surged through her body, accompanied by her bangs flying up.

In an instant, the ghostly hand was shattered.

"This is a troublesome ability. I never imagined that a mere human could become so powerful."

A crimson ghostly figure darted back and forth all around, its voice echoing in the dark space.

"Mere humans? Heh heh heh... What do you think you are?"

Suddenly, Dekomori Sanae burst into laughter as if she had heard something hilarious.

"You arrogant fool, there's a lot you don't know. In our organization, there are at least three people like me who have died! And there are people many times stronger than me!"

"Nani."

"A nobody like you could be crushed to death with a single finger if the Lord Sage were to make a move."

Upon hearing the other person's reply, she continued dismissively.

"How is that possible? With the speed of human evolution, how could we possibly compare to us? You must be lying!"

The Bewitching Ghost, who considered herself special, stopped what she was doing and roared angrily.

Because of its gifted control over desires, it is extremely perceptive of emotions, and that's why it could sense that this brat was serious.

In other words, is that 'Lord Sage' really that powerful?

However, given the slow pace at which humans absorb 'spiritual energy'...

Oh no, this is bad!

"Found you..."

Dekomori Sanae smiled smugly, her spiritual eyes detecting the fluctuations of demonic energy and locking onto a certain spot.

Then, a flash of lightning!

"Lightning Fist!"

She leaped forward with all her might, her right hand clenched into a fist, and dense purple electricity emitted sharp crackling sounds, the light shining on her face, which was a mixture of confidence and astonishment.

The blow landed heavily on the opponent's face.

The Bewitching Ghost felt her body become numb, and even the connection to the possessed body was weakened considerably due to the electric shock.

Reality is not a turn-based game.

Dekomori Sanae had finally found a weakness and was determined to succeed completely.

"Again!"

She gripped her right wrist with her left hand, and a dazzling bolt of lightning shot from her palm, striking again.

'My body is numb...'

The Bewitching Ghost tried to move, but felt an electric current coursing through her body, making it difficult to exert any force, and she couldn't even use her ability to gather and disperse energy.

There's no other way; it can only dispel the possession.

Just as Dekomori Sanae was about to launch another attack, she saw the ghostly figure detach from the person. After a brief pause, she unleashed another bolt of lightning at the ghostly figure.

The Bewitching Ghost figure vanished like mist, only to reappear a moment later, revealing its original appearance. Its red lips parted slightly as it said, "Human bodies are indeed unusable. It's much more comfortable this way."

Although demonic forms are more vulnerable to lightning attacks, however...

If the attack misses, then it's pointless!

"Come on, let's continue..."

Just as it was about to continue its fight, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Excuse me, please move aside, don't block the way."

Chapter 107 Soul Suppression Gaze

'Are there... other people here?'

'When did they arrive? I didn't even notice!'

Startled, the Bewitching Ghost looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Then it met a pair of calm, watery eyes, seemingly ordinary, but in the next instant, those eyes, like a starry sea, transformed into a vortex, completely engulfing its mind...

Soul Suppression Gaze!

In the air, the bright red ghostly figure remained motionless, and the illusion of Ghost Wall temporarily disappeared.

Hasegawa Izumi withdrew her gaze, having no interest in chatting with this ghost.

"Lord Sage!"

Dekomori Sanae's gaze instantly left the Bewitching Ghost, her expression changing drastically to one of delight.

At this moment, the girl had not yet dispelled her power; her eyes flashed with lightning and shimmered with iridescent light, giving off a captivating, electric aura.

"Hmm... Sanae, you handle it. Let me see the results of your recent training."

Hasegawa Izumi responded with a slight smile.

"Leave it to me! Death will definitely not disappoint the Lord Sage!"

Dekomori Sanae expressed her confidence.

During this spare time, most of the people in the basement came out one by one, but apart from Ishigami Yuu, the others had temporarily lost their minds.

To maintain secrecy, Hasegawa Izumi used hypnosis to alter these people's memories of the gathering.

I'll be waiting for you in the living room.

After leaving those words, he walked out.

At the same time.

The Bewitching Ghost's stagnant thinking ability started working again, her eyes still filled with a hint of confusion.

I seem to have been absent-minded for a while?

Oh right, it was just that man's glance; what terrifying mental power he possessed...

Wait, isn't he the guy that official is after!?

That lord actually wants to be an enemy of such a monster?

The Bewitching Ghost realized that the man's power was unfathomable, even beyond her comprehension, and couldn't help but feel a chill for the person behind her.

"What are you thinking? Look this way, the battle isn't over yet! Your opponent now is me, Death!"

The girl's voice, coming from nearby, startled it awake.
