4-62: The Disciples Are Also Reckless (4/5)

On the talisman Tomoe threw could be seen the character for close.

And by way of closing, a wall of spiritual power had essentially been erected to people people and shiki from reaching the 2nd floor.

It appeared that even sound could not pass through, for a shiki could be seen seemingly yelling while banging on the invisible wall, yet no sound could be heard.

I can see you two arent just normal people, but just where did you come from?

Were not normal alright.

A wry laugh resounded as Ryou sent the bird-type shiki flying with a punch.

It quickly dissipated afterwards, but he didnt even spare it a glance and just turned to the group approaching from the corridors.

What are you doing!? You suddenly broke in, so the least you could do is name yourselves!

What you say we take half each? Ryou asked.

It was a murmur of strange creatures completely unlike the ones found in illustrations or mascots. They did not look the slightest bit adorable. There was an aesthetic to them that made them feel alive.

At the head on each corridor was a shikioni slamming its club but no sound could be heard.

It was an hair-raising attack from both sides, yet neither Ryou nor Tomoe panicked.

This is just the second floor, so just blow them away with that ridiculous spiritual power of yours, Tomoe said.

If anything, Tomoe was even pointing at the enemies and telling Ryou to wipe them all out.

The enemy was evidently a criminal exorcist family. Moreover, these were all just shikis, so there was no reason to hold back.

It should be possible given the traits of spiritual power, ahaha Tomoe said.

Ryou had thought similarly, but when he saw how she was acting, he calmed down and wryly smiled.

Sigh, I cant believe Ive survived this long with a childhood friend like you. Good job me, Ryou said.

Amidst sighs, Ryou stretched out his hands toward the corridors, then he released his spiritual power and filled them with it.

Spiritual power could not harm anything other that natural objects unless directed to; hence, the corridors were left unharmed.

The shikionis, however, was left with no room for escape.

Huh? What

A voice sounded both surprised and bewildered, but the light of spiritual power swallowed it alongside the rest of the mob, and everything was erased without a trace.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Well be going to the third floor next, so What are we gonna do about this guy? Ryou said.

In the end, they decided to just leave the man they knocked out and returned to the stairs.

There, the people that were obstructed by Tomoes Barrier of Closing could be seen desperately trying to get in.

Some used their swords, while others used their spells, and others used their shikis, but in the end, not even sound managed to penetrate.

The space had been completely closed. It was remarkable how a single talisman could be responsible for such a phenomenon, and in fact, the enemies were quite shocked.

Meanwhile, Ryou was just bothered by how that same talisman now prevented them from using the stairs.

Thats easy. You just do this.

But Tomoe already knew the answer to that, and she gently overlapped a second talisman on the talisman closing the space.

A talisman that read: Explosion.

W-Wait!?

As soon as he read that character, Ryou hastily covered his ears, and in the next moment, a powerful impact shook the building and space right in front of them.

The enemies that had gathered by the stairs took on that attack directly, and shiki and exorcist alike were blown away.

Fortunately, it was an explosion of spiritual power, so the building stood unharmed.

Moreover, it was directional, so only the sound reached them.

Ive forgotten because Nakamuras around, but youre plenty nasty too.

Ryou sincerely said as he looked around him.

Tomoe has always been thorough.

Those that were sent flying into the walls or the handrails, or those tumbled down the stairs, all of them without exception were thrown around without their consciousness in tact, their weapons and jutsus shattered.

Not even the vessels of their shikis remained. If anything it was strange how no one died.

Apparently, Tomoe showed no mercy to anyone she considered her enemy, and that caused a shiver to crawl up Ryous back.

I think someones been rubbing off on you.

D-Dont say that, thats so scary! I-Im not that bad, you know At least, I shouldnt be

Tomoes face twitched as she denied Ryous accusations, but when she objectively analyzed what shed done, her eyes swam.

Ryou felt like throwing a jab there, but the sound of footsteps fast approaching from above could be heard.
