The candy beans slowly separated into individual pieces, as if sensing her eagerness and ready to go.
She pinched a candy, took it out of her pocket, pinched it between her middle finger and thumb, and flicked it out with a little force, mimicking Dou Tang's finger technique from back then.
"Huaiyin, let's go quickly. You're fine in my arms. Don't look outside..." Kume Chinatsu hugged Huaiyin tightly and ran out, while looking at the sickle bats darting back and forth in the corridor with panic.
The small wounds on the students seemed to make the sickle bat even more ferocious. For a moment, it forgot the command of Priest Ito, let out a squeak like a rat, and then rushed towards Ms. Kyoko, who was standing against the wall.
"Ms. Kyoko, bow your head!"
Chinatsu Kume, who had been keeping a close eye on the sickle bat's movements, quickly called out, accurately predicting its target.
Upon hearing this, Ms. Kyoko instinctively crouched down, and with a sharp thud, the scythe bat's sharp wing pierced the spot where her neck had been.
If she had been a second later, she would have been beheaded on the spot.
Having failed in its first attack, the scythe bat, whose wings were stuck in the wall, let out a dissatisfied hiss, pulled its wings out, and took to the air again, heading straight for Chinatsu Kume.
A cold glint flashed, and a screech filled the air. Kume Chinatsu's eyes widened as she held onto Huaiyin, but she could not move an inch.
Huaiyin quickly pushed her body away, and the scythe bat flew past Kume Chinatsu's bow tie, cutting a small wound on her neck. The blood that flew out stained her collar red.
"Well……"
The pain brought Chinatsu Kume back to her senses. She turned around and saw the scythe bat fly far away, circle around, and then fly back again.
This time it was extremely fast, clearly intending to get serious, and Kume Chinatsu had no time to dodge.
Her eyes filled with tears of terror, and feeling Huaiyin trembling in her arms, she decided to let her body's instincts guide her actions.
She pushed Huaiyin out of her arms and then flung her behind her.
Huaiyin's eyes widened in shock. She never imagined that Kume Chinatsu would be...so kind.
The sharp light was right in front of him, and the ugly rat face looked incredibly ferocious, with a cold glint in its eyes.
Time seemed to slow down. Kume Chinatsu could feel the fear spreading in her heart, and her body was trembling. It took all her courage to protect Huaiyin behind her.
A thick, black aura of resentment emanated from behind her, and she felt a bone-chilling cold creep up her spine, which she thought was a sign of impending death.
But she was wrong.
The students were running away without looking back. Ms. Kyoko was still in shock and couldn't come to her senses. Apart from Ayane, no one else saw the thick black resentment rising from the ground.
Against all the fleeing people, against all the aura of fear, a pitch-black entity strides out of nothingness, head held high, moving forward.
This being took something from Huaiyin's hand in an instant.
A soft, bouncy hand pulled Kume Chinatsu aside, just like she had felt when she closed her eyes that night.
The black evil spirit moved forward, and pink light gathered on it, transforming it into a dreamlike, round, pink giant.
His other broad hand shot out like a spring, firmly grasping the flying scythe bat in his hand.
Chinatsu Kume felt that
My heart was pounding.
Fall Guys...
That pink Fall Guy...
The tall, pink jelly bean slowly exerted force, the scythe bat squeaked and squeaked, and at the same time, the sound of metal shattering came from its large hand.
"Snapped!"
Finally, the Fall Guy opened his palm, and tiny shards of blade, stained with blood and flesh, fell to the ground with a thud.
"Wuhu..."
Fall Guy let out a soft cry.
The atmosphere became heavy. Kyoko-sensei and Kume Chinatsu looked shocked, while only Ayane had a barely perceptible smile on his face.
Fall Guys turned around and rushed into the living room. Chinatsu Kume was stunned for a moment, then quickly rushed over.
Fall Guy jumped out of the living room, smashed through the courtyard wall with a push of his palms, and came outside, his eyes fixed on Priest Ito not far away.
Priest Ito also saw the Fall Guys and looked completely bewildered.
...Where did this pink idiot come from?
Chapter 124 Fall Guys are also a type of knight!
With its slightly curved body, soft and supple skin, round appearance, and innocent and cute face, it's hard to believe that the creature in front of you is an evil spirit.
But it overturned the high wall with both hands, killed the sickle bat with a single punch, and its eyes surged with a strange indigo light.
This makes the whole thing seem strange.
Priest Ito was stunned...
The Bean Man stood in the field next to the houses, raised one hand, and scattered what he was holding onto the field—black Beans.
"Wuhu..."
It whispered softly, and Priest Ito immediately realized what it was.
Could that wailing sound be the same one that rang out with Ito-sama before?
The field in front of the Fall Guys churned, a thick, black aura of resentment rose, and one after another, jet-black capsule-shaped figures rose from the field.
Raindrops wet their bodies, wetting a patch, and that area gains color.
Standing in the rain, the colorful jelly beans stood in a row, each striking a pose.
If you ignore their funny and comical appearance, they actually give off a vibe of... multiple Kamen Riders standing together posing for a photo?
No, what's the connection between Fall Guys and Kamen Rider?
But upon closer inspection, just as the knight beats up monsters, the Fall Guy also beats up evil spirits.
Cyborg Knights and monsters share the same origin, and Fall Guys are also composed of evil resentment.
Some knights gain power by defeating monsters, while Fall Guys absorb resentment by defeating evil spirits...
There are too many remaining points of argument, I'm too lazy to write them all down (?).
Getting back to the point, when Priest Ito saw these jelly bean figures, he was once again stunned.
……so much?
Kume Chinatsu, who was peeking out from behind the collapsed courtyard wall, was also stunned. She stared at the group of Fall Guys, her mind exploding.
So many Fall Guys? How can there be so many? They look like they just grew out of the ground!
You're a jelly bean, not a sweet potato!
Suddenly, the Bean People all shouted in unison!
"Alas!"
A wisp of turbid air spread out, and all the candy beans assumed the posture of masters, the consciousness they inherited from Dou Tang coming into play. But upon closer inspection, each candy bean used a different posture, each with its own merits.
Their skin tightens, like an inflatable toy slowly deflating, until they finally become tall, muscular men in tight-fitting suits.
...That's so perverted.
This idea suddenly popped into the minds of many people present.
After all, thirteen muscular, masked, strong men dressed in various flamboyant colors of tight-fitting clothes... the scene was simply too beautiful.
Priest Ito snapped out of his daze, wiped away non-existent drool from the corner of his mouth, and realized that these jelly-like figures were undoubtedly after him, so he quickly waved his fan.
The black paper doll shikigami flew out and condensed into a long spear in the rain, piercing towards the Fall Guy.
But those jelly beans weren't pushovers either. One of them turned around, brought its hands together in front of its hips to form a foothold, and one of the jelly beans stepped on it.
Using the bouncy platform, the Fall Guy propelled his companion high into the air. The Fall Guy screamed and yelled as he flew through the air, striking a knight kick pose.
The moment the toes touched the paper doll shikigami, the legs became afterimages, unleashing countless kicks that were impossible to see.
"Da da da da da-"
The paper doll shikigami was shattered into countless fragments, and the jelly bean in the sky let out a long, triumphant cry before falling, only to be caught by a new jelly bean.
Their teamwork was so seamless, it was as if they had rehearsed countless times before, or perhaps it was because their consciousness came from the same person that they were able to do such a thing.
This made Priest Ito realize that he was in big trouble.
He quickly waved his fan. This time, not only paper dolls and shikigami were deployed, but also countless scythe-skin bats. These scythe-skin bats were the true lineage of the Ito priest. His true identity had nothing to do with the Ito Shrine. The one that Dou Tang found in the old house behind the shrine was the real Ito descendant.
These sickle-shaped bats are small evil spirits called Kamaitachi. These evil spirits are said to be monsters from the Koshinetsu region, but in reality they are smaller and easier to control than in the legends.
The battle had begun, and Priest Ito was showing no mercy. The oppressive feeling emanating from these thirteen jelly-like figures was so strong that it was difficult to concentrate even when staring into their indigo eyes.
The Kamaitachi have all come out in force.
A black whirlwind swept through the air.
It was almost dawn, and the wind and rain had lessened because Lu Zizhen was no longer urging it on. The whirlwind formed by the weasel and the black paper figure shredded the rain in the air before rushing to the ground.
Thirteen jelly bean men bravely faced the challenge and raced straight towards the whirlwind.
The whirlwind transformed into a giant dragon, accompanied by the ear-piercing clanging of metal, and engulfed the Bean People in an instant.
But amidst the whirlwind of the Kamaitachi, loud roars echoed.
"Alas, Wuhu! Alas!" These jelly bean characters are still excited?
A pair of pink hands tore through the whirlwind, leaving long, narrow wounds from which flowed black resentment and pink syrup.
But then, those hands clenched into fists and were pulled back.
Within the whirlwind, several figures could be seen gathering their strength. Then, the surrounded jelly bean people unleashed a punch in all directions.
"Tong—"
The perfectly synchronized movements caused the sounds of their punches to overlap, creating a deafening roar that would deter any ordinary person from even daring to fight them.
The whirlwind formed by the weasel was torn apart, and thirteen jelly bean men scattered in a circle, their bodies covered in wounds. Black resentment flowed from their wounds, drifting into the air, while colorful syrups flowed out, mixing on the ground to create a rainbow-like effect.
The Bean People slowly withdrew their fists, and the Kamaitachi whirlwind in the air suddenly began to scatter. Many Kamaitachi left the group, flying crookedly, and then suddenly fell to the ground without warning, but there were no wounds on their bodies.
“Wuhu…” The pink jelly bean at the head of the group raised its head slightly and looked at Priest Ito in the distance.
Priest Ito took a deep breath, straightened his priest's hat, and tried to put away his folding fan, but not properly, making him look somewhat disheveled.
He swallowed hard, then quickly waved his hand. Countless black paper shikigami wrapped around his body and pulled him away into the distance.
But the Fall Guys wouldn't let him go. They immediately charged forward, and thirteen Fall Guys raced after him. The Kamaitachi tried to stop them, but these monsters with fire in their eyes pinned them to the ground and crushed them to death. They were no match for them.
Priest Ito quickly had the paper figures pull him into the air. The jelly beans on the ground knew he wanted to run away, and several of them jumped and crouched forward, transforming into round and chubby figures, forming a platform. The whole movement was smooth and fluid.
The pink Bean Man climbed up by stepping on his companion's body, and grabbed Priest Ito's ankle as he met his terrified gaze.
“Wuhu!!”
The furious roar, brimming with ferocity, terrified Priest Ito, causing him to lose all his previous elegance.
Run, run fast, run!
Priest Ito looked at the field that had been trampled beyond recognition by the Fall Guys, with paper figures and the corpses of weasels scattered across the field. He had completely lost the will to resist and only wanted to get out of there as soon as possible!
A weasel flew over and, taking advantage of the Pink Bean Man's blind spot, slashed directly at Priest Ito's ankle!
"Swoosh... Thud!" The sharp blade cut through human bones without any hindrance, and the flying weasel was not even affected in the slightest.
The excruciating pain contorted Priest Ito's face, while the pink jelly bean clinging to his severed leg could only watch helplessly as he flew away, landing heavily with a loud thud.
Protected by his own shikigami, Priest Ito trembled uncontrollably, and with an overwhelming sense of fear welling up inside him, he slowly disappeared into the forest.
Chapter 125 Kill Siren Head!
While those events were unfolding down the mountain, the battle on the mountain was still ongoing.
The screams of Siren Head, the shouts of Fall Guys, and the sounds of the battle between Tou and Ito.
Not a single intact paving stone remained in front of the shrine; everything had shattered before the two monsters.
The Bean People slammed Siren Head to the ground and, with simple punch after punch, beat these mysterious urban legends entrenched in the Kamo River mountain range until they couldn't even lift their heads.
Finally, one of the Fall Guys reached out a large hand, pressed down on Siren Head's thin, stick-like neck, and snapped it downwards.
"Click..."
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
The siren's mournful wail turned into a series of breathy sounds, as if the air had been suddenly sucked out of a person's lungs, leaving them only in a desperate, hoarse cry that didn't even qualify as a wail.
