Chapter 378: Go to Hell... fr.

"Be careful, she's getting serious."

Seeing Quanxi pull the arrow from her eye socket, Kishibe whispered to Yoshida Hirofumi, "If it doesn't work, retreat. Don't die."

"What does serious mean...?"

Hayakawa Aki, hearing Kishibe's comment, gave him a puzzled look.

But before Kishibe could answer, a vision of the future flashed before Aki's right eye. Almost instinctively, without even having time to be shocked, he formed a seal and pressed his hands to the ground: "Earth Flow Wall!"

The ground began to shake, and immediately a wall of earth rose up swiftly.

At almost the same moment, a barrage of arrows came flying densely. The arrows struck the earth wall, creating a series of loud impacts. Aki looked up to see the wall starting to crack.

"What?"

Aki showed a shocked expression at this sight.

But before he could make another move, the earth wall was shattered. With a whoosh, countless arrows came pouring down.

Seeing this, Aki immediately drew his sword to shield himself, but he was still struck by an arrow. He felt a terrifying impact in his stomach, followed by a ripping pain the next second, as if his abdomen had been pierced through. In pain, he knelt on the ground with one knee.

On the other side,

Kusakabe was hit directly in the head by an arrow, effectively decapitated. Tamaoki fared no better, with arrows hitting both his shoulder and knee, completely incapacitating him and leaving him to fall in a pool of blood.

Only Kishibe and Yoshida Hirofumi,

The Octopus Devil spat out a large blob of ink, and the two took the opportunity to hide, not engaging in the fight.

However, Quanxi's target was not them in the first place. The arrow rain just now was merely a side attack on them, while all of Quanxi's attention was on Fang Mo.

As mentioned before,

Quanxi is also a devil hybrid.

Like Denji and Reze, she can transform by pulling the arrow from her eye socket.

Now, she was no longer a woman with a melancholic demeanor. Her entire head had turned into a ferocious giant crossbow, and her neck was encircled by a dense cluster of arrows, looking like the mane of a lion. Of course, each of her arms also bore a Devilic crossbow, each loaded with seven arrows. A mere wave of her hand sent a barrage of arrows whistling through the air.

But to call them arrows,

Is to underestimate their power greatly.

The puppets that rushed over from a distance were pierced by just one arrow, opening a bowl-sized hole in their bodies, and they fell to the ground screaming.

After transforming, Quanxi's mobility was as exaggerated as a bolt from a crossbow, appearing and disappearing in an instant, attacking Fang Mo from every angle – eyes, heart, neck, spine, back of the head, forehead, targeting every vital spot. In less than a second, she had fired hundreds of arrows.

However, Fang Mo didn't even bother to dodge.

With a slight thought, he switched his Ring of Arcana to Wind Mode.

The air around him seemed to be forcibly compressed into a solid state at that moment, stopping all the arrows in their tracks, suspending them outside this invisible barrier, and then gradually losing their kinetic energy and falling to the ground.

"...?"

Seeing this, Quanxi was also stunned.

It was at this moment she suddenly realized she had chosen the wrong opponent.

She had always thought that the Special Division was the real trouble, as they had been slaughtering puppets. Especially Hayakawa Aki, whose physical abilities and devil powers were strong, almost catching up to Kishibe in his younger days. So, she thought he was the main force in this escort mission.

As for Fang Mo, she had thought he was just someone good at psychic attacks.

But the situation now was beyond her expectations.

After a brief pause, Quanxi quickly recovered. The opponent wanted to harm her woman, which was something she absolutely could not tolerate. Even if it meant failing the mission or joining forces with the enemy, she had to eliminate him. Thus, she quickly launched another attack.

But at that moment,

Fang Mo suddenly turned his head to look at Hayakawa Aki.

"Hayakawa Aki, how did you get blown away by a woman?" Fang Mo, looking at Hayakawa Aki holding his stomach, directly said, "You scored zero."

Hayakawa Aki was indeed severely injured and said nothing while holding his stomach.

"After all this training, the strength of the Fourth Special Division turns out to be just this pathetic. I'm really fed up," Fang Mo continued, "Forget it, let me show you what real power is. Come out, Knight!"

The listeners were all puzzled.

At that moment, a ball of white light suddenly appeared in Fang Mo's hand, followed by the clashing sound of armor. A figure in full plate armor, holding a shield and a sword in each hand, slowly emerged from the white light.

Upon appearing, the armored figure looked around, then noticed Hayakawa Aki lying in a pool of blood and paused abruptly.

Of course, Hayakawa Aki was also looking at him.

For a moment, their gazes seemed to collide in mid-air. Hayakawa Aki suddenly felt a bit dazed, a strange, indescribable feeling rising in his heart. He clearly had not seen the other before, but somehow felt a bit distressed inside.

At that moment, his injuries became uncontrollable, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The armored figure immediately showed a murderous intent.

"See that person over there with arrows all over their head?" Fang Mo said, issuing a direct command, "Chop off her head and bring it to me."

The armored figure looked in Quanxi's direction, eyes filled with terrifying murderous intent. In the next second, with a boom, she disappeared from the spot, leaving two large pits in the hard ground with her footsteps. Quanxi, not much scared, shot several arrows, but the other party directly charged forward with her shield up and without a word, chopped down with her sword.

Quanxi dodged backward, and the opponent's sword directly hit the ground, creating a gap in the earth before advancing again.

Quanxi, after all, was just an archer, and immediately wanted to create distance. But the opponent did not give her that chance, relentlessly slashing and smashing everything in her path - cars, telephone poles, mannequins, anything and everything was cut down, knocked over, like a rampaging rhinoceros in hot pursuit.

Fang Mo was admittedly surprised by this scene.

Indeed, what he summoned was Himeno from the planet Ego, who, after consuming a box of Essence Berries and enchanted golden apples, had an absurdly strong physical body, almost catching up to the Cursed Warrior.

Of course, what surprised Fang Mo was not Himeno's strength.

But rather, her attitude.

To be honest, this woman is truly terrifying when she fights against other women, especially for the sake of her own men.

Himeno was originally a mage character who controlled spirits, but now, seeing Hayakawa Aki being beaten to the point of vomiting blood by Quanxi, her rage instantly maxed out. It felt like she was ready to scream and offer a blood sacrifice to the blood god, presenting skulls to the skull throne.

And it was during Himeno's pursuit of Quanxi.

On the other side of the street, a large group of puppet troops appeared again, dark and menacing.

However, this time, in the center of the puppet troops, an old, late-aged man stood there, surrounded by countless puppets.

"Ah, it's Santa Claus!"

The Violence Devil was the first to notice the puppet troops and immediately shouted, "That guy seems restless!"

"Ha ha, I've been revived!" On this side, Denji was restarted by Reze's engine and stood up again: "Is that old man the mastermind behind this? I'm going to saw him to death!"

"Sir Chainsaw, haven't you had enough blood yet?"

Seeing this, the shark Devil quickly reminded him, "Let Miss Bomb handle it! You drink some more blood…"

"Reze?"

Denji turned his head to look at the bombshell woman next to him, and she nodded at him: "I've said it, I'll protect Denji-kun. Let me handle this."

After saying that, an explosion occurred behind Reze, and she used this force to charge forward.

After Reze charged out, the Violence Devil, Angel Devil, and Power also followed her out. This was clearly the feeling of preparing for a total attack. Denji seemed unwilling to be left behind, casually found a puppet corpse nearby, planning to replenish some blood.

But he had only taken a few steps when he accidentally stepped on a nail standing upright.

"Ouch… That hurts!" Denji immediately cried out in pain, holding his foot: "Why is there an upright nail here!?"

And just when Denji instinctively wanted to pull out the nail, he suddenly found himself uncontrollably flying up, as if something had grabbed his body, leaving him completely dumbfounded: "Eh? What's happening? What the…"

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly a terrifying force was applied to Denji's body.

The sound of limbs being twisted resounded, and Denji, in mid-air, suddenly exploded with blood. A Devil-shaped thing appeared behind him, forcibly tearing his body into a shape similar to a cross.

"Ah! Sir Chainsaw!"

The last one to rush out, the shark Devil, saw this scene and immediately turned back, but a corpse on the ground suddenly rose up, thrusting an arm of a puppet into his chest.

"We succeeded…"

After dealing with the shark Devil, the corpse on the ground also quickly got up.

"What!?"

And just at this moment, the members of the Special Division who had dashed out also came to their realization. Angel Devil on this side immediately recognized the other. This was the man they had encountered at the burger shop before, one of the two people they met. Because Fang Mo had mentioned that the woman's face was full of moles and such, they remembered the appearances of these two individuals.

Indeed, it was as they thought; the man hiding among the corpses was Tolka.

However, just as he was about to move an electric corpse, another person came walking from not far away. This time, it was the woman with several moles on her face.

"Tolka, you've done well," said the woman as she walked over. "You have completed the task I assigned to you. Now, you are an outstanding Devil hunter."

"Master? Why are you here?"

Tolka turned his head in surprise and then quickly said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. We must hurry and take him away. They have already discovered us..."

"There's no need for that."

The woman smiled and shook her head, then suddenly leaned in close, "I'm sorry, Tolka, please... go to hell for me."
