The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

"Regarding entering another dimension..."

............

"Tsk, I should have thought of that sooner."

Standing before a passage connecting another dimension to reality, the nine-tailed fox sighed helplessly.

With so many evil spirits in other dimensions, how could those exorcists not be on guard?

"Only 100 evil spirits can go out each day..."

The nine-tailed fox looked annoyed at the thought of the restrictions on exiting through the interdimensional passage.

It originally planned to bring all the evil spirits from the other dimension through the passage leading to Tokyo and give Tokyo a demonic carnival.

Now that only 100 evil spirits can be released, how can it carry out its original plan?

"We can only take a small number of 'elite' troops out."

Looking around at the 'elite' surrounding her, the nine-tailed fox couldn't help but shake her head.

The evil spirits around me are of a high level, but because they have hardly fought in the past hundred years, most of them are weaker than the evil spirits of the same level outside.

However, this is enough to deal with the psionic families in Tokyo.

After all, with Tsuchimiya Gakura's death, Tokyo was without a royal-level expert.

While there are king-level beings, they are definitely old guys who don't have many years left to live.

She now possesses 3 demon gods, 7 demon emperors, and 14 demon kings. There's absolutely no way that one human like Hachiman Hikigaya could defeat her!

"You all come with me. The rest of you can come find me tomorrow."

Without the slightest hesitation, after tidying up all the evil spirits in the alternate dimension, the Nine-Tailed Fox led the 99 strongest evil spirits through the passage towards Tokyo.

Meanwhile, Hachiman Hikigaya, who had learned the method to enter another dimension from the Inari deity, also opened a spatial rift.

Almost as soon as the Nine-Tailed Fox left, Hachiman Hikigaya appeared before the many remaining evil spirits.

"!"

Hachiman Hikigaya was startled when he saw a large group of evil spirits staring straight at him in front of him as he entered the alternate dimension.

However, upon realizing that there wasn't a single evil spirit of general rank or higher among the group of evil spirits before him, Hachiman Hikigaya's state of shock instantly turned into ecstasy.

But then the smile on Hachiman Hikigaya's face vanished instantly.

There are three ghost gods in this alternate dimension.

Hachiman Hikigaya hasn't found any trace of them, so where could they have gone?

Chapter 376 Siege

"not here?"

Floating in the sky above Tokyo, the nine-tailed fox looked down at the city, which was shrouded in a faint white shield, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

It thought it could finally settle things with Hachiman Hikigaya this time, but unexpectedly, within just a few hours, Hachiman Hikigaya had already left Tokyo.

"Should I break it?"

The nine-tailed fox did not issue any orders for a long time, so a low-level ghost or deity nearby volunteered to take charge.

It couldn't wait to conquer the city before it and then advance through the share of its fortune.

"Break? Can you even break it?"

Upon hearing the words of the lowly ghost, the nine-tailed fox slightly turned its head to look at it, a faint sneer playing on its lips.

"It's just a fragile barrier, what's so difficult about that?"

The low-level spirits were puzzled by the nine-tailed fox's words.

The barrier before us was clearly hastily erected by the psionicists in the city below after they sensed its presence.

Is it difficult to break through a barrier built by a group of psionicists whose average strength is only at the intermediate level?

"Then, give it a try."

As the nine-tailed fox spoke, it raised its hand to signal the low-level ghosts and spirits to begin their performance.

"......"

If a low-level spirit or deity still cannot detect a problem at this point, then it is truly incredibly foolish.

However, since the nine-tailed fox had already ordered it to attack the barrier, it dared not disobey.

After a few agonizing seconds, the low-level ghost reluctantly launched a tentative attack on the barrier.

"boom!"

The seemingly insignificant attack made a loud noise when it hit the barrier.

The entire white barrier also began to shake violently in sync with the sound.

"It's not broken?"

Although they had already guessed this outcome, the low-level ghosts and gods still showed surprise when they saw that the fragile barrier had not actually broken.

While the lowly ghost was stunned, the nine-tailed fox, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, suddenly unleashed a hurricane that sent it flying.

Just as the low-level ghost had barely left the spot where it had been hovering, a white light streaked across its former location.

Sensing the familiar, domineering aura within the white light, the low-level ghost god's heart immediately tightened.

"It was set up by the exorcist Kanto."

"This magic circle is specifically designed to protect Tokyo. Psionicists will not activate it unless absolutely necessary."

Only after the evil spirits felt the power of the magic circle did the nine-tailed fox reveal the origin of the magic circle before them.

The original intention of the exorcists in the Kanto region in designing the magic circle was to protect Tokyo from the crisis of evil spirits in their absence.

Therefore, the activation of the magic circle was entrusted to the three most powerful psychic families at the time—Tsuchimiya, Isayama, and Kikan.

Of course, the reason she knew about the magic array was entirely thanks to Isayama Yomi.

After all, as the undisputed successor of the Isayama family, Isayama Naraku would naturally tell her this important information.

After Izayama Yomi became its puppet, it naturally learned of these hidden secrets.

Originally, the Nine-Tailed Fox had Isayama Yomi and Isayama Mei split into two groups to attack various psychic families in Tokyo, with the intention of forcing the remaining Tsuchimiya and Isayama families to activate their magic arrays.

After all, even with the spiritual energy supply from several massive underground veins in Tokyo, the magic circle can only last for three days after it is activated.

Moreover, once the magic circle is activated, humans inside and outside the circle will be unable to enter or leave normally.

This is absolutely fatal for a city with tens of millions of people!

"So all we can do now is wait?"

After hearing the nine-tailed fox's explanation, the high-ranking ghost who had been beaten up earlier frowned.

As a long-time rival of the Kanto exorcists, although it couldn't defeat the other party, it knew that person quite well.

That person's arrogance led him to design a magic array that could only last for three days, because he was confident that no matter what happened, he could definitely get back within three days!

"Wait? Why should I wait?"

The nine-tailed fox looked at the high-ranking ghost god as if he were an idiot.

Since it already knew about the existence of the magic array, how could it have brought them here to waste time without having a way to deal with it?

Sensing the nine-tailed fox's disdainful expression, the high-ranking demon was filled with resentment and anger.

However, the high-level ghost had no choice but to suppress his urge to attack, knowing that he was no match for his opponent.

"Lord Nine-Tailed Fox!"

"what's up?"

The intermediate-level ghost who had been standing quietly to the side suddenly spoke, immediately attracting the attention of all the ghosts present.

"An uninvited guest has arrived from another dimension."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the nine-tailed fox began to observe the situation inside the alternate dimension through her spies left there.

As soon as it made contact, a huge stream of spiritual energy appeared before it, and it immediately lost contact with the spies left in the other dimension.

"Damn humans!"

The nine-tailed fox's face turned ashen, and she spat out a few words through gritted teeth.

It's saying that Hachiman Hikigaya ran off to somewhere, but it turns out that guy found a way to another dimension and wanted to go there to stop it?!

"I'll go back and deal with him."

The high-level spirits who also observed the situation in the other dimension almost immediately prepared to return.

"Wait! All three of you go back together!"

Seeing the high-ranking demon turn around, open the rift, and prepare to return, the Nine-Tailed Fox called out to it and gestured for the other two demons to follow it to deal with Hachiman Hikigaya.

"No need, it's just a demigod. I'm enough on my own!"

The high-ranking demon was clearly still bothered by the fact that the nine-tailed fox had previously said it was inferior to the demon Hachiman Hikigaya.

After saying this, it didn't wait for the other evil spirits present to react, and went straight back to the other dimension through the spatial rift.

"Should we follow them then?"

Looking at the spatial rift that had healed, the low-level and mid-level ghost gods hesitated as they looked at the nine-tailed fox, unsure whether to follow the high-level ghost god back or stay by the nine-tailed fox's side.

"If it wants to die, let it die."

Seeing such a high-ranking spirit that disobeyed its commands, the nine-tailed fox's face darkened.

Having fought Hachiman Hikigaya several times, it was certain that it was no match for Hachiman Hikigaya in a one-on-one fight against a high-level demon. However, it would also take Hachiman Hikigaya at least several hours to take down this tough nut.

Although it felt a pang of regret at losing such a powerful combatant.

But it would be good to get rid of such a troublesome subordinate who clearly doesn't obey orders as soon as possible.

Moreover, after conquering Tokyo, if one less person shares the spoils, it will reap even greater benefits...
