Chapter 285 - Happiness
Ellen walked alongside Kon, stealing glances at him as they approached their destination. The stone road beneath their feet was the only thing interrupting the vast expanse of grass fields around them.
She still vividly remembered the days when Kon had been nothing more than a young man with the remarkable ability to maintain a straight face while looking at her. For someone of his age, she found it quite impressive.
He had learned an...

Chapter 284 - Testing The Grounds
Weeks had passed since the barrier had broken down, and Agon found himself lost in thought. He was the kind of guy who preferred leaving such matters to others and didn't engage much in scheming.
Agon couldn't fathom why Kon had placed so much trust in him to stand alone on one of the borders. It seemed Kon was assembling a team, and Agon was going to be a part of it.
While Agon recognized he wasn't the brightest individual,...

Chapter 283 - The Dead Stay Dead
Beelzebub, I didn't know much about anyone like that, except that it was some demon from a book in my previous world.
He was called the Lord of Flies, which probably meant he could fly... something that most ultimate class demons could achieve skillfully using their abilities. Carpy could do that as a high-class demon by using his water levitate, but he was unique like that.
"It's kind of crowded in here," Agon commented, loo...

Chapter 282 - Lord of Flies?
Anika froze in place, and dozens of thoughts raced through her mind. She should be able to escape, or at least that was her assumption. But when she met Ellen's gaze, there was a confidence in her eyes that crushed any hope of escape.
Should she confront Ellen?
Just the thought sent every instinct in Anika's body screaming. Despite all the monsters she had battled and everything she had endured, it felt like there was a gaping po...

Chapter 281 - Feeling Alive At Death’s Door
I looked at the exorcists down there; they were all of different strengths and from differing backgrounds. Among them were some familiar faces, like Delia and Gem, who appeared shocked beyond belief, their mouths wide open as if they could swallow a whole fish.
On the other hand, there was Agon's team. Sadly, it seemed that Agon had been taken over by Yamata no Orochi. His skin had turned a pale white, with scales belo...

Anika stared at the space where Agon, Yamata no Orochi possessing his body, had been, recalling the fierce battle between Sei and the monstrous entity. Sei had transported both of them to the Mirror World, a place Anika couldn't access.
All she could do was wait, hope that Sei would come out of this with all his limbs, and pray that Yamata no Orochi wouldn't end his life.
While she waited, there was a glint in the sky, and the distant li...

Sei couldn't understand and felt his mind go blank. Raging thoughts rushed to the forefront of his brain, and he clenched his teeth.
"Were Yamata no Orochi mocking his goals? Making fun of the death of his clan?"
"You bastard," Sei clapped his hands, and Ord gathered around him like a tidal wave. "At the end of the day, demons will always be demons. It was stupid of me to even ask you that. Demons aren't something an Exorcist s...

As soon as the barrier broke, darkness rushed in and covered the whole world. Before I could react, I found myself frozen in place by an unknown power. Although I couldn't see the terrors hiding in the darkness, I could still sense their presence.
My body shuddered as I tried to move, yet my mind was overwhelmed by a sense of horror like I had never felt before. Even taking a breath felt like a difficult task.

A creepy cracking sound emanated from the sky, resembling the eerie noise of glass cracking underwater. It held a deep, unsettling noise.

It also appeared Tamae no Mae might be running late, or perhaps she never intended to fulfill her part of the deal. Regardless, I would make sure she paid for it later.

I leaned on the balcony railing of Wisteria's room. It had been two days since our date, and I stared at the sky, searching for any signs of abnormalities.
The barrier was on the brink of falling, but I didn't know the exact date. If Wisteria hadn't decided to back off on her part of the deal, Tamae no Mae should have finished arranging the barrier around the Sun Kingdom.

Most people didn't bother remembering faces; they usually remembered distinctive features. Unlike Wisteria, I understood how the average person's mind worked.
It wasn't really the glasses that did the trick; it was the silver hair. While my facial features might still be familiar to someone like Wisteria, who saw me all the time, that meant there were some subtle changes that the public wouldn't notice.
Of course, I was going to give al...

All the anger and other emotions she had shown until now. This suggestion had been too cold-hearted for someone 'emotional' like her. Almost as if she had wanted me all along to think of her as someone too emotive to pull something so calculated.

For a brief moment, I wondered if going all out might result in the Demonic Exorcist's death. But as quickly as the thought entered my mind, it vanished. He would regenerate from anything I threw; there was no need to worry.
With that in mind, I decided to rip his head off. However, just as I prepared to strike, a purple centipede burst out of the ground, coiling itself around the Demonic Exorcist. I didn't halt my punch, and the d...

I didn't expect to find someone like the Demonic Exorcist in a place like this.
It was a dingy pub, situated in the middle of nowhere, in some small nameless town. The bar reeked of cheap wine, prostitutes, and sweat. It wasn't just the smell that was unpleasant; the appearance of the place was equally bad. The tables wobbled, the walls bore cracks, and it seemed like one good kick could bring the whole establishment crashing ...

There was a soft scent of lavender in the room as I opened my eyes, and the sunlight roused me from my slumber.
I lay there, completely naked and covered in some rather peculiar anime-themed bed sheets. Wisteria, too, was unclothed beside me, sprawled out across the bed like a starfish. Luckily, the bed was big enough that her position didn't disturb me.
This was one of the challenges many couples faced. Some people favored night...
