This means... that the Japanese government has intervened militarily.
With a sinister laugh, his suddenly enlarged body ripped his suit open, and his face transformed from a somewhat wicked young man into a ferocious and terrifying bull demon.
"As expected... it was you..."
Jian Guangji, held in Niu Kun's arms, showed a look of realization. Although she had guessed it before, she only dared to confirm it after seeing Niu Kun return to his original form.
"Don't panic, you'll be able to reunite with your old companions soon."
Niu Kun turned his head, grinned, and then, under Jian Guangji's desperate gaze, tore open her shirt and raised his hand to touch her lower abdomen with his blood-stained fingers.
[Contract complete. Host has acquired the forty-first familiar!]
[The host's companions have experienced a significant boost in both spirit and physique, and have awakened their talent [Firearms Mastery]!]
[[Firearms Proficiency]: Proficient in using various firearms, with significant improvement gained when learning and using firearms and related skills!]
[The story character, Sword Light Princess, has been contracted by a host, causing a slight increase in the world's erosion level.]
After the intense pain subsided, Sword Light Princess suddenly realized why her once steadfast companions had betrayed her in an instant and become the enemy's henchmen.
After running away for so long, she still couldn't escape the devil's clutches. Still filled with resentment, she was forced to become the devil's... slave.
After being released by Niu Kun, Jian Guangji seemed to have lost her soul and was still unable to accept her unknown fate.
"Stop daydreaming. I suggest you go and kill that man named Inunaki yourself. Of course, this is not an order, just a suggestion."
After Niu Kun finished speaking, he got up and prepared to leave the club. Many more people arrived outside, including many of Niu Kun's witches.
Sword Light Princess stared blankly at Niu Kun's back, feeling exceptionally cold inside. But when she came to her senses, she saw the collapsed buildings, the rising dust, and the faintly visible red-skinned demons.
The roar of several helicopters echoed over the once bustling commercial street.
The first to arrive were actually special forces, but before they could land, they were subjected to extremely fierce firepower. One helicopter even tilted over while belching black smoke, and finally crashed into an office building amidst the exclamations of countless ordinary people cautiously watching from the sidelines.
The rising fireworks and explosions thrilled countless people, and reporters risked their lives to film, disregarding information censorship, and uploaded the footage they captured.
Many people thought a war had broken out, and some even speculated that General Kim had bypassed South Korea and attacked Japan first.
Chapter 186 The Transaction (4k)
"Huh? Counter-terrorism missions shouldn't be our responsibility, right?"
On the helicopter, Kushihachi Inaho asked with some doubt, "According to the information just reported, it seems that two groups... no, it appears that several groups of unknown armed men have engaged in a fierce firefight in the commercial district."
The police who rushed to the scene dared not enter the area of fire because their firepower was too weak. They could only block traffic on the periphery, evacuate the fleeing crowd, and desperately call for backup.
"Although counter-terrorism is not our responsibility, according to the report from the police superintendent's unit, there is an extremely high spiritual pressure rising in the center of the firefight area, which suggests that there may be a powerful non-human entity. Therefore, we need to cooperate with the special forces to carry out the cleanup."
Upon hearing this, Gao Guifenglan put down her communicator and patiently explained to the others. Tian Gu Chunlian, standing nearby, seemed a little distracted, pausing for a moment before realizing that it was her turn to explain the latest instructions to the team. Slightly embarrassed, Chunlian blushed and was about to add something...
Boom~
The sound of the explosion drowned out the noise of the helicopter. Through the open side cabin door, a helicopter could be seen tilting and crashing into the office building in front of it before exploding violently.
"Huh? Is it...that intense?"
Hongdou clung to the cabin door in astonishment, watching as a helicopter and its dozen or so crew members and armed soldiers vanished in an instant, not even including the potential casualties in the office building.
The cabin fell silent for a moment, as if they were only now beginning to feel the cruelty of modern warfare. But these girls, who were not long ago students at Tianri Academy, had no idea what terrifying cruelty their power would unleash if it were used without restraint.
"Let's go, we can't wait for the helicopter to land."
Himegami Korei was the first to stand up, walked to the cabin door and said something, then jumped out of the cabin without waiting for anyone else's response.
"Sigh, wait... okay."
Noble Maple sighed, then said to the others, "Let's go then, but remember not to be as hasty as Mu Ling next time."
Then the others jumped out of the cabin one after another and landed unharmed from the sky, but the armed soldiers on the other helicopters were unable to jump from dozens of meters in the air.
They could only choose to rappel down from flat rooftops or lower their altitude in an emergency, and then rappel down. During this time, another Stinger missile came and destroyed a helicopter that was rappelling down.
The two soldiers who landed at the bottom ran wildly towards the outside, while the crew members and soldiers who were rappelling or had not yet rappelled could only be engulfed in the flames of the explosion or crushed to death by the wreckage of the falling helicopter.
"What idiots! Keep requesting reinforcements and report that there should be no more air landings. These militants have anti-aircraft missiles. Damn it, how can they even have such weapons? Are the customs officers all dead?"
Nanri Xiang, who was reporting to the rear with a communicator in hand, looked at the fireworks exploding in the distance and suddenly felt a toothache. It must have been a sniper shot that hit the engine of the helicopter, causing it to tip over and crash into the office building. The sniper shot was already excessive enough, but now they even brought out an anti-aircraft missile.
"This is absolutely outrageous!!"
Nakaoka Mami stood beside her, also looking furious. However, she seemed to have forgotten, or rather, was unaware, that many of the armed forces in the war zone were 'friendly' parties.
Nanri glanced at Mami, but didn't say anything. After all, there were police officers around, and with so many people around, it was easy for someone with ulterior motives to overhear her talking nonsense.
At this time, there were also many ordinary people trapped in the firefight zone. There were stray bullets everywhere, and those who had taken cover dared not run around. What was worse was that there were also many people on the periphery who, out of curiosity or because their family and friends were trapped inside, wanted to break through the police's control and blockade and rush into the firefight zone.
"So...so many people!"
Hinako frowned, her expression full of surprise.
Because the distance wasn't very far, the members of the paranormal investigation team who rushed over found that the outer perimeter of the fighting area was surprisingly crowded with people.
"It feels like queuing up to see a star's concert. Doesn't anyone feel scared?"
Chizuru couldn't help but complain, standing on tiptoe and looking around with disbelief. She had thought they were already quite reckless, but she hadn't expected there to be so many more reckless people than she had anticipated.
"Yeah, I thought everyone here had run away, but I didn't expect so many people to come and watch the fun."
Yu scratched his head, feeling incredulous that so many people would risk their lives to come and watch the spectacle.
"Perhaps it's because nobody thinks there's any danger in watching."
Looking at the cars stuck in traffic and the pedestrians talking incessantly by the roadside, Mei Hong made a somewhat uncertain guess.
"Sigh, it seems that even adults can't be relied on."
Wujiang muttered something, then couldn't help but urge his companions to look for a place with a wider view. They had already seen all sorts of demons and monsters, but they had never seen a 'normal' large-scale gunfight.
"It really is you, you devil, again?!"
The noble Fenglan, who looked even more beautiful after taking off her glasses, hadn't even finished speaking when the magical artifact Yu Yu in her hand opened, and an arrow of light shot out like a meteor falling to earth, heading towards Niu Kun who had just walked out.
Behind him was the clubhouse building still roaring, and above him were arrows of light falling like stardust. It seemed like he was about to be unable to dodge them when Niu Kun suddenly glared at him, his mane standing on end!
Bang! !
Suddenly, in a blinding white light, the arrow of light shattered, along with the white steel axe in Niu Kun's hand. Niu Kun's arm was also blown to pieces the instant he swung the axe and struck the arrow of light.
But when the white light faded, Niu Kun's arm had almost fully recovered. When Niu Kun suddenly stomped the ground and leaped out, the injury on his arm was completely healed.
"Oh no! He's gotten stronger?!"
Gao Guifenglan was greatly alarmed and quickly spoke up to remind her.
Riding the magical artifact Wild Eagle, Hongdou swiftly appeared behind Niu Kun, but could only suppress her inner turmoil and kick Niu Kun in the back of the head.
As a witch, she naturally couldn't do such a disrespectful thing; her body simply wouldn't perform such an act of subjugation unless she had Niu Kun's permission.
Even so, fear is still inevitable, and both Anko and Haruka need to suppress their witch instincts, just like Saeko and Yomi did before them.
He raised his arm to block Hongdou's leg strike. At the moment of impact, Hongdou instinctively reduced the force of his strike, and Niu Kun caught this slight hesitation.
He grabbed Hongdou's calf with his backhand, and in her astonishment and panic, Niu Kun's arm muscles suddenly burst with terrifying force, and he slammed Hongdou's calf towards Chunlian, who was also pretending to slash with her sword.
"what?!"
With a gasp tinged with barely perceptible confusion, a flustered Chunlian hurriedly dodged the sword's edge, passing Hongdou and Niu Kun in the process. Then, Chunlian was mercilessly sent flying by Hongdou's whip.
The two traitorous girls never expected their master to be so ruthless and violent. In the blink of an eye, the two girls were caught in each other's arms and flew away in a sorry state.
Fortunately, Kinuya Karette and Kushiya Inaho arrived just in time, and then Himegami Kodama also summoned her shikigami, seemingly about to surround Ushikun. -p
At this moment, Yuko, having discarded the heavy machine gun, returned to Niu Kun's shadow. Then, a shadow suddenly rose from the ground and appeared abruptly in Kushihachi Inaho's astonished gaze, before being repelled.
However, even with Yuko's assistance, Niu Kun still possesses the advantage in both numbers and combat strength among the girls of the Magic Execution Office.
Originally... that's how it should have been.
Unfortunately, Niu Kun then shouted out the Human Domination Technique, and Hongdou and Kalet were 'controlled' by Niu Kun's Domination Magic, and they immediately betrayed him.
Okay, although Niu Kun did use human control magic, only Kalet was actually controlled by Niu Kun's magic. Hongdou was actually pretending to be controlled after Niu Kun gave her a command through telepathy.
The sudden betrayal by Anko and Carette caused the other girls to panic and lose their composure. In the blink of an eye, Haruka pretended to be entangled by Anko, while Noble Maple was actually entangled by Kinu and Carette.
Kushihachi Inaho was held back by Yuuko, and after a series of unpredictable changes, Himegami Koremi ended up fighting Ushikun one-on-one. Well, since Himegami Koremi's magic weapon is Yasakani no Mi, it can materialize fantasy.
Himegami Koremi uses this to materialize different shikigami, but due to Himegami Koremi's abnormal existence, she cannot fully unleash the power of Yasakani and the shikigami.
The summoned Thor, radiating intense lightning, clashed repeatedly with the scorching flames rising around Niu Kun, causing the lightning and fire to explode with dazzling light.
Although forced to fight alone, Himegami Korei did not back down. However, although Himegami Korei was not without close combat abilities, it would be unwise to go head-to-head with Niu Kun.
Niu Kun had clearly figured this out, so during the battle, he would look for opportunities to bypass Himegami Kodama's shikigami and directly approach Kodama herself. In this chase, he would unknowingly distance himself from the battlefield.
boom! !
Amidst the explosion, the shikigami Raishin was destroyed by Niu Kun. However, Kodama did not panic. He immediately summoned the shikigami Yarei, and rows of wooden roots blocked the space between Niu Kun and Kodama.
"Himegami Kodama".
Niu Kun murmured the other person's name, and then, under Himegami Koreki's astonished gaze, said, "A phantom thought formed by overflowing power through the cracks in the seal?"
"You...you figured it out? Hmph, so what if you did figure it out?"
Himegami Korei shook her head and said nonchalantly, but Niu Kun's next words made Himegami Korei's eyes widen in surprise.
"Do you want to escape in your true form?"
Niu Kun's words stunned Himegami Muramasa, but after a moment, she shook her head repeatedly: "Trying to deceive me with such a lie?"
“We demons are very good at breaking through all kinds of barriers and seals. Aren’t you tempted? Do you want... a fair trade?” Niu Kun continued to tempt him with his words.
"No... I'm not tempted. Don't even think about it. I won't make a deal with a demon." Himegami Korei's face clearly showed a hint of temptation, but she quickly suppressed it.
"Really? I don't believe it."
Niu Kun naturally saw the other party's wavering heart, and then threatened, "We demons are not good people. If you really don't want to make a deal, then I will shatter your thought body, go to the back of Tianri Academy, and seal up the gaps in your seal, so that you won't even be able to come out for a walk."
"Wh...what?! Despicable! Utterly despicable and shameless!!"
As if her sore spot had been touched, the usually calm Himegami Kodama suddenly revealed extreme anger and unease. However, due to the demon's bad reputation, Kodama hesitated and had reservations.
"Hey, don't be too hasty. I can give you some time to think, but not too long. My patience is limited. Don't wait until I lose patience and then regret it. By then, it might not be so fair to make a deal."
Niu Kun turned around thoughtfully, looking in the direction of the collapsing entertainment club. There seemed to be some other changes there, which made Niu Kun want to end this increasingly chaotic fight.
The battered and grotesque spirit beast crashed through the outer wall, protecting the anxious Shizuru Kino as she fled. But just as she stepped over the dusty outer wall, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"It's really embarrassing."
It seemed like a casual mockery, but it left Shizuru completely astonished. She looked up and saw a very familiar figure appear before her eyes.
The next instant, a huge humanoid spirit beast swung its fist down, knocking over the spirit beast protecting Jingliu, and then the figure that haunted her dreams approached her.
With a single shot, she pierced the unsuspecting Shizuru's abdomen. Then, the tall and voluptuous older woman, who resembled a larger version of Shizuru, used her gun to lift the Sesshoseki hanging on Shizuru's chest.
"I'm sorry, due to some unforeseen circumstances, the plan has to be moved up. I was hoping you could enjoy yourself for a few more years, but alas, my sister..."
With the gun pointed at her forehead, and her sister standing before her, both familiar and utterly unfamiliar, Shizuru felt as if her blood had frozen. Kneeling on the ground, Shizuru felt disoriented, as if she were in a terrifying nightmare.
Just as Setsuna was about to pull the trigger, another figure suddenly emerged from the smoke and attacked Setsuna Imano.
bang~
The ground was cratered by the force of Hanekawa Tsubasa's fall, while Imano Setsuna flipped and leaped up while grabbing the Sesshoseki, and Imano Shizuru was dragged over by Hitagi's telekinesis.
"Hmph~ It seems that the demon has taken a liking to you. Not bad, at least it shows that Shizuru is still somewhat useful."
Setsuna Imano seemed to know quite a bit about the inside story, but when he looked up at Kaoru and Kaoru rushing out of the gradually collapsing clubhouse building behind him, he shook his head with some regret.
"Fine, then you can keep that Killing Stone for now."
Setsuna sighed, then put away his spirit beast, and his figure disappeared.
When the entire clubhouse building collapsed completely, the fighting seemed to reach a fever pitch, but it quickly subsided afterward.
Shortly afterward, when the main force of the Self-Defense Forces arrived, most of the militants had already withdrawn, except for the dead, and only a small number of militants were captured.
These prisoners were also taken away for interrogation. The Japanese government has really lost face this time. If the main suspects cannot be caught as soon as possible, the entire cabinet may have to resign.
Police and other government departments throughout Tokyo were forced to work overtime in an effort to find the perpetrators of the terrorist attack.
