Chapter 259 Two Pure White Women
Just as Hako-Oh-Maru became alert, a fierce gust of wind blew in, and the crimson arrow was about to pierce its head.

It was a tornado composed of countless black sand particles. The entire dark storm formed an object with a rough texture, like a turbid flow of particles. This force directly blocked the arrow.

boom!
The explosion dispersed the turbid tornado in some areas, but did not harm Hako-maru, which was located at the center.

"Did you fail?"

Hiiragi Hiruko's face turned serious as she fired the arrow.

She arrived at the crucial moment, firing a crimson arrow while simultaneously activating multiple protective barriers.

The spray of freezing air was also defended by the crimson barrier, although a thick layer of frost had formed on the barrier itself.

"That's great, Zhouzi..."

Fumi Daimiya also breathed a sigh of relief. She knew how dangerous it had been just now. If Hiiragi Hiruko hadn't come to the rescue, her side might have been completely wiped out.

Hako-maru's freezing air froze everything around him, and the ground in front of him was covered with solid ice, but he still couldn't complete the attack against the crimson, fortress-like multi-layered barrier.

'Only Zhouzi could maintain this level of barrier while launching an attack.'

Fumi was well aware of the difficulty of this matter. Hako-Ohmaru was likely a great demon of the middle or upper rank, and even if he wasn't, his demon power reserves were almost the same. That breath attack just now could have frozen a quarter of Kasumi Castle.

"Thank you very much, Great Priestess."

Tendo Kazuya quickly expressed his gratitude.

Faced with Hako-Oh-maru's incredibly destructive freezing breath, even a swordsman like him would be of little use.

"Sorry I'm late."

Hiiragi Hiruko was dressed as a shrine maiden, her right hand holding a kotatsu (a type of bow). This was a sacred artifact, enshrined by the Shin'o Shrine for generations, powerful enough to subdue wandering spirits.

In addition, the Zi bow itself is a bow that does not use arrows. As a bow for exorcising demons, the Zi bow is used by plucking the bowstring during a ritual.

However, Hiiragi Hiruko now had six crimson arrows in her right hand. She had plucked six strands of hair from her head and condensed them into arrows.

Her movements were extremely swift. She first nocked three crimson arrows onto the zither bow, pulled the bowstring taut, and aimed at Hako-maru in the distance.

At this moment, even though she was aiming at him with an arrow, Hako-maru didn't pay much attention, and the black sandstorm rose up again.

"To give it the quality of 'explosion'."

Hiiragi Hiruko infused her with her own spiritual energy, as well as the power of the True Ancestor Vampire.

Whoosh! Three arrows shot out simultaneously, striking the turbid stream of black dust with slightly twisted trajectories. These three arrows exploded instantly, just like guided bombs.

In an instant, the arrows exploded, creating a gap in the black dust, and Hiiragi Hiruko had already prepared the next volley of arrows.

She fired three arrows in quick succession.

Three more waves of bombardment followed, and the barrier formed by the black sandstorm was mostly gone.

"Imbued with 'penetration,' 'evil-dispelling,' and 'inevitable destruction'."

Hiiragi Hiruko muttered to herself and without hesitation took out an arrow and shot it swiftly. This time, the arrow flew into the gap and hit Hako-maru's eyes and nose. The next arrow, glowing with crimson light, pierced through his brow and temple in succession.

This time, however, none of the crimson arrows exploded; instead, they fell silent after piercing their targets.

The great priest fired seven times in one go, totaling twenty-one arrows, and not a single one missed, all of them piercing the head of Hako-maru.

"ended."

Hiiragi Hiruko let out a low shout, and dozens of explosions and smoke enveloped the monster, blowing Hako-maru's head off.

Half of Hako-maru's head was blown through, and it let out its dying roar, which was also its last roar.

boom!
The enormous body swayed and tilted as it fell, the ground shaking so much that Fumi and the others' feet wobbled.

"so amazing!"

Swordsman Tendo Kazukatsu and the group of Tendo family samurai behind him all showed expressions of visibly deep shock.

Hako-maru was definitely an extraordinary great demon, with a terrifyingly high wavelength of demonic energy. However, Hiiragi Hiruko easily killed this great demon with just one volley of rapid fire.

"The compatibility is too bad."

Fumi Daimiya, however, saw through the main reason.

After awakening the power of the True Ancestor inherited from Kurenai, Hiiragi Hiruko was also trained by the guardian deity Mahoro and Yukiyasha-hime.

She was not good at fighting.

Therefore, the main fighting style is archery.

Recently, Hiiragi Hiruko also learned a spell called "Enchanting" for arrows. Hako-maru's abilities are completely overwhelmed by Hiiragi Hiruko's current state, leaving him no room to retaliate.

"Very good……"

Hiiragi Hiruko also had a hand placed on her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, soon after, another strange event occurred.

Those were points of light floating in mid-air like fireflies.

Just as Hako-Oh-maru was defeated, a gale arose in the void. Countless points of light danced slowly around the still-blowing storm, seemingly unaffected, and their numbers continued to increase.

"Then, what is that?"

Fumi Daimiya and her brother Kazukatsu Tendo both felt a chill run down their spines.

Even Hiiragi Hiruko couldn't help but look up, her pupils reflecting an expression of disbelief. Just as she realized that it was a completely different airflow from the storm just now, the brightness of those light spots suddenly increased.

boom!
In the courtyard deep within the city, the illusory tree shadows collapsed.

Countless black dust particles descended from the sky, as if to engulf the entire land in black dust. An immense sense of oppression emanated from an unknown source, and this aura could turn into an aggressive one at any moment.

hum!
In the pure white light, a figure gradually emerged.

With a "ding," the sound of light toes landing rang out, like the tinkling of a bell.

Amidst countless rays of light, all auras, forms, and postures were revealed openly and without concealment—

The figure was that of a girl in pure white.

However, she didn't look human at all; she merely had the appearance of a human.

"'The Pure White Woman'... the Fiendish God Kotankolo Kamui?"

Hiiragi Hiruko was stunned for a moment.

She pressed her lips tightly together, her mind struggling to process what was happening.

The priestess never expected that this fallen god would appear here.

Tendo, Katsu, Fumi, and the others were completely frozen in place.

The crowd stared blankly at the fallen goddess—the "Pure White Woman" was dressed in foreign clothing and had skin and hair that were very different from ordinary people, like pearls.

In addition, her eyes were also strange; those eyes, which had no distinction between the whites and pupils and contained ever-changing, iridescent colors, were coldly looking at everyone.

'You guys are really something, being able to defeat Hako-Oh-maru. Too bad…'

A voice rang in his ears. This was no ordinary voice; it was like an infinite reflection within a glass container, filled with echoes—the voice of the malevolent god Kotancoro Kamui.

'You will all die here in the end.'

An aura was revealed.

It wasn't some vicious killing intent, but rather a cold, devoid of warmth, chilling like an ice field that freezes everything. It was the pure will of Kotankoro Kamui.

Killing intent without any actual killing intent!
In the next instant, behind the woman in pure white, a chilling cloud of black dust began to spread like a thick fog, stirring restlessly.

'not good! '

Hiiragi Hiruko felt a strong sense of crisis. It was a feeling that could not be described in words, a chill that ran down her spine and was so cold that it almost froze the deepest part of her body.

Instead of using her bow and arrows, she unleashed the energy within her body and stepped in front of the crowd.

The onslaught of black dust cannot be defended against using conventional methods; even if multiple barriers are used to forcibly resist it, they will inevitably shatter.

'This is the only way!'

In an instant, thousands of cherry-colored lightning bolts burst forth from her body.

Hiiragi Hiruko activated the power of the True Ancestor, and a violent cherry blossom-colored lightning bolt struck the approaching cloud of black dust.

Wow!

The sound, as fierce as a storm, was deafening to Fumi, Tendo, and Katsumi, who were inside the barrier.

As the two forces collided, sparks flew from the violently churning atmosphere. Eerie crimson lightning mingled with black dust, fiercely battling to eliminate each other. Silver sparks flew between them, mercilessly piercing the ears of the onlookers.

Explosions and annihilation occurred in the void, and violent air currents surged outwards, terrifying everyone present.

At first, Hiiragi Hiruko's power seemed to be on par with that of the pure white woman, but in the repeated clashes between lightning and black dust, the shrine maiden began to be suppressed.

Compared to Hiiragi Hiruko, who was frantically activating her inner power and unleashing lightning emanating from herself, Kotankoro Kamui remained completely still, silently allowing the black mist to spread out.

"—It's coming!"

Hiiragi Hiruko's keen senses made her realize an even greater crisis. Facing the astonished Fumi, Tendo, and Katsu, the shrine maiden shouted in a shrill voice.

"Do not move."

Before Hiiragi Hiruko's eyes, the black dust cloud that slowly enveloped the pure white woman, Kotankoro Kamui, rapidly expanded.

In an instant, the surface of the black dust was silently flung away. The impacting lightning dissipated, and the black dust transformed into turbid currents, into waves, and into multiple radiating waves.

Although they did not reach Fumi Daimiya, Kazukatsu Tendo, and the others who were being protected by the priestess, everyone's vision was covered by black dust.

This was a silent, overly quiet attack.

'What was that just now?'

Everyone was baffled, even Fumi couldn't understand it for a moment. She only noticed that her own barrier, as well as the barrier on Hiiragi Hiruko's body, had broken.

When the woman understood everything, it was accompanied by groans. What she saw was Hiiragi Hiruko's right hand and left leg disappearing, and large amounts of skin peeling off her body.

"Zhouzi, are you alright?!"

"Don't worry...it hurts a little, but it's nothing serious."

Hiiragi Hiruko did not speak, but conveyed the message by reading it aloud.

She quickly completed her regeneration, even regenerating her clothes, which was not a fatal blow to a True Ancestor-level vampire.

'However, my own barrier cannot completely defend against the black dust's attack, especially since Kotankoro Kamui has gathered his power and can easily break through the barrier from the front...'

Fortunately, the barrier that Hiiragi Hiruko placed on everyone was effective; no, it would be more accurate to say that she used herself as a shield to forcibly block the attack from the black dust.

That's not a good answer.

Fumi felt a strong sense of unease upon hearing this.

According to Hiiragi Hiruko, it's unclear how long they can hold out.

The wisest choice is to evacuate here immediately.

However, Fumi did not believe that she and her companions could easily escape from here.

'You can't leave.'

Hiiragi Hiruko sighed as she explained.

'When Kotankoro Kamui arrived, he sealed off the surrounding space. We're like fish in a barrel now; there's no way we can escape...'

As she spoke, the black dust surrounding Kotankoro Kamui swelled up again.

……

At the same time, a figure was also floating outside the defensive barrier of the City of Mist.

It was a garment made of woven feathers, and the exposed skin of her hands and feet was milky white and shiny, with a pearl-like luster visible upon closer inspection.

She is the woman of pure white, and also the fierce god Kotancoro Kamui.

The woman's figure resembled that of a human, her translucent skin as white and gleaming as fresh snow, and even "slender" was insufficient to describe her petite limbs. Only her eyes lacked both whites and pupils, instead shimmering with various shimmering colors.

"Is this the defense of Mahora, the guardian god?"

The woman in pure white let out a soft chuckle.

"The defenses are too lax... Fine, I'll lend that fallen god a hand."

Her right hand touched a barrier that was invisible to the naked eye.

Completely destroying this barrier—well, it's obvious that's impossible.

She was self-aware enough to know that it was difficult for a mere human to accomplish this. Fortunately, it was only necessary to make the barrier's power disappear for half an hour, which was not impossible.

"Come on, Mikado!"

The pure white maiden summoned a jet-black jewel.

The dark, dull pearl faintly revealed a petite figure sleeping within it.

Let's hold out for half an hour for now!

The jet-black orb burst forth with light, and with the light it emitted, the great barrier surrounding the City of Mist gradually "melted" away, revealing a large opening.

"Alright, now you can come in too."

Behind the pure white woman, a dark cloud composed of numerous demons gradually came into view.

"Let's all go!"

At her command, the demon-winged army surged toward the entrance to the City of Mist like a swarm of bees.

Despair and nightmares descended upon the city in that instant.

……

The alarm bells rang at that instant.

The god of the town, Ma Fanliang, sensed the anomaly immediately.

"Why is this happening?"

Maho was very surprised by this situation.

"Two women in pure white... what on earth is going on?"

She couldn't understand why the White Maiden would suddenly appear in two different locations.
