Chapter 52
I didn't spare your life for nothing, you're a smart one

“Everyone, listen to me!”

A human in red trousers stepped forward.

The whispers around them immediately stopped.

It seemed that this human held considerable authority among the spirits.

“We are all gathered here because of the oppression of Higashiya Masamune.” He looked around and said slowly, “I believe that no one will betray our ranks and side with the humans who want to kill us.”

“So, let’s not talk about the traitor anymore.”

“The most urgent matter is to confirm who has come, how many there are, and what their purpose is?”

This man’s speech was extraordinary.

In a few words, he dispelled most of the atmosphere of vigilance and hostility among the spirits.

He also united them into a single force, ready to face the sirens outside together.

“Go, check out the situation outside.”

“Ghost Taro, you go.”

“朽木, you go.”

“業丸, use your power to check.”

The spirits immediately ordered their subordinates to investigate.

Not long after.

The information came back.

The spirits were all shocked.

“Only one person?”

“A human boy?”

“What’s going on?”

The spirits were bewildered.

This human boy, driving a police car to this godforsaken place, what was the deal?

They all looked at the man who had spoken earlier.

He pondered for a moment and then smiled, “I know… In human society, there are often naughty boys and girls who steal police cars and roam around for fun. I guess this is just another mischievous kid.”

So that was it.

The spirits all believed him and showed their bloody, ferocious smiles.

“Just right, extra meal!”

“Don’t rush, let’s have some fun with him first.”

“Right, right, I’m bored to death in this godforsaken place.”

“Play with him until we’re tired, then kill him!”

The spirits quickly reached an agreement.

The man in red trousers frowned slightly but didn’t say anything.

Because he had also killed many people.

……

Outside the warehouse.

Higashiya Masamune turned off the car and walked in slowly.

The door was open.

The lock was rusty, it had been pried open long ago, and was thrown aside to collect dust.

【He’s here, he’s here!】

【He’s coming in!】

【Wow, what a strong little guy.】

【Slurp, his meat must be chewy!】

The spirits, with eyes like lanterns, excitedly looked at Higashiya Masamune entering.

Swish!

A cluster of cold green ghost fire suddenly lit up.

It illuminated the dark warehouse.

The demons and monsters, originally hidden in the darkness, were all exposed, surrounding Higashiya Masamune left and right.

They revealed bodies as large as mountains, with terrifying features, all towering above him, their eyes filled with mocking malice, as if looking at a fish on a chopping board.

Ordinary people would have had their heart and lungs stop at the sight of this.

But Higashiya Masamune was calm.

His expression didn’t change at all, he also looked up, and met the spirits’ mocking gaze with a similar gaze.

“What’s going on with this kid?”

“Is he scared silly?”

“He’s not scared!”

“Hasn’t he reacted yet?”

The spirits were stunned for a moment.

“No!!”

The man in red trousers suddenly changed color, and let out a terrified scream, “He’s Higashiya Masamune!”

“What?!”

The spirits were all startled, they looked at Higashiya Masamune in disbelief.

Boom!

Higashiya Masamune no longer hid, his aura spread out.

His fierce and domineering aura, like raging waves, surged through all the spirits present.

“This power!”

“He really is Higashiya Masamune!”

“All together, kill him!”

“He’s alone, he can’t beat us!”

The spirits all turned terrified.

But the next moment, they showed their vicious expressions and attacked Higashiya Masamune.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Poison smoke, ghost fire, spikes, energy blasts, fists, demonic wind… Various attributes, various forms of attack, fell like a curtain of rain.

Only the man in red trousers, his eyes flickering, did not attack, but turned and ran.

Bang, bang, bang…

Higashiya Masamune didn’t dodge or evade.

The aura around his body boiled, transforming into a violent flame, blocking all attacks.

“With this level of ability, you are all doomed today.”

Higashiya Masamune smiled slightly, extended a hand, and made a loose fist towards the spirits.

Boom!

A terrifying suction force fell, like a deep abyss vortex, dragging the spirits up.

“No, don’t!”

“Spare me, I was deceived!”

“I’ll never do it again!”

“Higashiya-sama, your subordinate is willing to serve as your slave!”

The spirits suddenly changed color, their fierce attitude disappeared, they looked pitiful and begged for mercy.

They thought Higashiya Masamune was strong, but they didn’t expect him to be this strong!

He could actually fight all of them alone!

“I said, you are all doomed today.”

Higashiya Masamune closed his fingers, grabbing all the spirits, then punched out.

Boom!!

On his fist, the aura burst forth, transforming into real damage, penetrating their defenses directly.

The ghostly power, demonic power, and curse power that could withstand bullets in the past… crumbled like paper in the face of real damage, torn apart with a single tear.

Bang!!

With one punch, all the spirits were shattered into pieces, turning into a sky full of debris.

“……”

The man in red trousers slumped to the ground, cold sweat pouring down his pale face.

He could only handle a few of these spirits at once.

Some of the powerful spirits could easily kill him.

But these powerful spirits were all reduced to ashes with one punch from Higashiya Masamune, not even leaving a corpse.

“Gr-great… master…”

He immediately knelt down, his forehead pressed heavily against the ground, his whole body trembling, and his voice trembling as he asked, “Your subordinate will definitely be honest and truthful, only begging master to spare my life, and allow me to serve you in the future.”

“It was not in vain that I spared you, you are indeed a discerning one.”

Higashiya Masamune glanced at him approvingly and said calmly, “Tell me, why are all the spirit leaders in the city gathered together? What are you trying to do by finding me through the lines of Kasuga-san, Machida-san, and Hiratsuka-san?”
