I really can't control myself.

Chapter 4128 Interference
With two loud bangs, two figures were sent flying, crashing into a nearby tree. The thick trunk was snapped in half, a testament to the immense force of the impact.

Yes, those who were knocked flying were Zong Yang's two retainers, now in their monstrous forms resembling black wolves. Both were sent flying by the divine light emanating from the spirit mirror.

Linton was also somewhat surprised by the power of this divine artifact. It was much stronger than he had imagined. Could it be that this thing had a special attack bonus against monsters?

As he knocked the two dog demons away, Zong Yang also disappeared. He was probably sucked into the mirror and sealed inside that ball of light. So, this one item was enough to take down three fairly strong dog demons?

However, looking at the situation on the opposite side, Ozaki Straight, it doesn't seem to be a perfect solution.

Because at this time, Ozaki Naomichi's condition was obviously quite bad. He was spitting blood and looked visibly weak, as if he had suffered a great injury.

Naomichi Ozaki himself didn't even go up, and of course, he wasn't directly injured. This situation looks like a backlash caused by overusing a spiritual object.

"This guy is really going all out. Why?" Linton wasn't quite sure why Ozaki Naomichi was working so hard for the system, Kuro, as if he was risking his life.

While the system itself is undeniably appealing, and Linton couldn't really argue with its allure, the problem is, few people would actually die for it. The benefits it offers are certainly tempting, but would you really die for it?

"Those gods probably also contributed, using their identities," Aizen said from the side.

Currently, the only god in Takamagahara they know of who is colluding with the system is the Amaterasu Ship God, but Aizen suspects that there are other gods involved in this matter.

Using the identity of a deity to deceive people is obviously much more effective than using a system.

Linton also thought of what Ozaki Naomichi had said before about fighting against foreign invaders. Perhaps Ozaki Naomichi really believed in these things and wasn't just trying to fool Takaoka Yūnori.

It can only be said that the deception of these gods is quite effective. Because in the live broadcast, although Ozaki Naomichi, who was clearly badly injured, was somewhat listless, his eyes were still quite determined.

What were they determined to do? Of course, they were determined to take action against Takaoka Yūnori.

Having just temporarily dealt with three dog demons, Ozaki Naomichi immediately set his sights on Takaoka Yūnori. Indeed, he hadn't forgotten his primary mission and was ready to eliminate Takaoka Yūnori immediately.

Takaoka Yūnori clearly sensed the killing intent emanating from his opponent. His resolve wasn't as strong as Ozaki Naomichi's; he had only ever wanted to survive.

Faced with the other person's clearly murderous gaze, Takaoka Yūnori turned and ran. Partly out of fear, and partly to run in what he felt was a safer direction.

The safer place mentioned here refers to the area around his teammates. Yes, that is, the location where Shimizu Ritsu and the others are.

He had no intention of facing Naomichi Ozaki alone, and he wasn't confident in his own abilities. In his view, Ritsu Shimizu and the others were more skilled in combat, so he would definitely run to the stronger ones.

The problem is that Shimizu Ritsu and the others were completely unprepared.

When Takaoka Yuzuri was rescued by Muneyo, Shimizu Ritsu and the others thought the situation was settled.

Zong Yang's self-confidence gave them the illusion that everything was fine. After all, the demonic power he released alone instilled immense confidence, right? Who could have imagined that Zong Yang would be instantly defeated the moment he showed his face?

Even though Shimizu Ritsu wanted to help Takaoka Yuzuru, she was completely unable to react now that she realized something was wrong.

He had just stood up when Ozaki Naomichi raised his hand, his spiritual energy clearly gathering in it, preparing to unleash the wind blade he had used before.

The technique was simple, but it was incredibly effective. The wind blades he unleashed were devastatingly powerful; Shimizu Mai's hand was severed in one strike. If they had hit Takaoka Yuzuriha, the outcome would have been unimaginable.

Shimizu Ritsu cursed Takaoka Yuzuri under her breath, thinking, "What a coward! Why don't you face the enemy head-on? If you face them head-on, you can at least observe their attack movements. Even if you can't dodge their attacks, at least you'll have a chance to avoid them."

If you keep running, you won't even have a chance to dodge when someone throws out a wind blade. Do you think you have eyes in the back of your head?

Of course, there was no time to curse now. Shimizu Ritsu still headed towards Takaoka Yūnori, preparing to tackle people to avoid attacks.

It was indeed too late; the two were still some distance apart, and Ozaki Naomichi was already preparing to make his move.

At the critical moment, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred.

Of course, it wasn't Linton's side that made the move; Linton wouldn't have appeared until Takaoka Yūnori was truly dead.

At that moment, what blocked Ozaki Naomichi's path was a bullet. That's right, a bullet pierced through Ozaki Naomichi's raised right forearm, sending a spray of blood flying. The bullet was quite powerful, almost severing Ozaki Naomichi's arm.

Ozaki Naomichi's pupils contracted as he noticed the danger coming from the side.

Yes, he wasn't in good condition, so he couldn't perfectly control the situation around him.

Awakened individuals possess strong sensory abilities, including a strong sixth sense or intuition. Generally, as long as they pay attention to their surroundings, even firearms can hardly succeed in a sneak attack.

However, Naomichi Ozaki was in a very bad state at the time, which is why he was successfully ambushed. Moreover, it was an ambush from the side, not from the front. If it were Shimizu Ritsu and the others, Naomichi Ozaki would have noticed and been on guard if they had fired their guns, but that wasn't the case with them.

Who is that?

Another burst of gunfire rang out, this time clearly a barrage. Ozaki Naomichi instantly raised his left hand, forming something resembling a wind shield in front of him.

It didn't directly block the bullet; rather, the bullet was blown away after it came at him, flying off in another direction. Clearly, Naomichi Ozaki is quite skilled in this area, and it seems this isn't the first time he's used his ability to deal with bullets.

At this moment, the people who opened fire on Ozaki Naomichi began to slowly appear; it wasn't just one person, but a small team.

Just by looking at their clothing, it's easy to tell who they are. Indeed, their attire is somewhat similar to that of Shimizu Ritsu and the others; both are combat gear.

Yes, this squad is the one that has been following us all along; it's the Third Operations Squad from the headquarters of the Special Operations Department. They have just received their mission: to protect Takaoka Yusuke with all their might.
