"Order, immediately stop all activities and rush to the Ise Grand Shrine in the capital to provide support."
The content of the message was very short, only 23 words long. However, the word "Order" at the beginning meant that this message was not a notice, but an order that had to be carried out.
Just as Sei Itō was about to put away his phone and head to the capital, another message notification sounded. Sei Itō frowned as he looked at the unread message on the screen and opened it.
Sender: Ya Ye.
"I just received an order from the capital to stop all activities and head to the capital to provide support. Auntie has decided that Big Sister Suzu Ito and I will stay at home to watch over the mountain. She will immediately head to the capital to provide support. "
"I understand. I will head to the capital now." Sei Itō frowned. The thumb of his right hand that was holding the phone quickly moved across the keyboard as he typed out a reply.
"Be careful on the road." Soon, Ya Ye's text message came back.
Sei Itō deleted it after reading it and put away his phone. He stepped on the slightly trembling ground and quickly rushed in the direction of the pillar of light.
"It seems that the situation in the capital is not optimistic. Otherwise, the Ministry of Environment would not have given the order to provide support to the capital. I just don't know what the situation will be like when the time comes."
Sei Itō guessed in his heart as he ran.
Because he was moving forward on foot, there was no need to worry about the condition of the road. He also did not need to avoid the mountains and forests. He only needed to go straight through them. Therefore, the seemingly long distance was reduced by more than half in an instant. In addition, Sei Itō's exaggerated speed was comparable to that of a sports car. He finally arrived at the capital after more than an hour.
"Phew." Sei Itō, who had just jumped out of the forest, stopped in his tracks. He looked at the capital in the distance, which had been completely opened, and let out a long sigh. Then, he approached the capital.
However, from here on out, a large number of purebred demons began to appear. They gathered in groups of three or five. They stopped the reinforcements from approaching the capital.
"Here comes another one." At this moment, there were four demons in front of Sei Itō. One of them had a slender body like a worm and was teasing him.
Seeing this, Sei Itō did not waste any time. He immediately summoned a Gantz saber and rushed towards the demons.
"Roar!" Seeing Sei Itō attack them without saying anything, the demons were furious. They roared and charged at Sei Itō.
Sei Itō suddenly took a step forward. The force of his step instantly created a one-centimeter deep depression in the soft ground. His body suddenly disappeared from the encirclement of the four demons and suddenly appeared behind the worm-like demon. The pitch-black sword in his hand silently slashed at the worm-like demon's spine. Then, with a twist of his wrist, he swung it at another demon beside the worm-like demon.
The black blade that came out of nowhere killed the other fiendish demon in an instant. A large amount of viscous liquid spurted out from the two dismembered fiendish demon corpses, turning into droplets in the air and falling to the ground like a small fountain.
"This is tough. Let's run." In the blink of an eye, the deaths of two of their companions instantly shattered the courage of the remaining two demons. After one of them screamed in panic, it lowered its body and retreated into the ground to escape.
The other demon turned around and stuck out its butt. It sprayed out a pungent, light-yellow mist with a sluggish effect. Then, it ran away without stopping.
Sei Itō snorted disdainfully at the actions of the other two demons. He threw the Gantz saber in his hand at the escaping demon. The saber instantly reached the speed of sound under the support of his great strength. In an instant, it arrived behind the demon. The wind blade brought by the saber cut open the demon's body, and the saber sank into the boulder not far away.
"Puff!" The demon's body was cut in half by the blade and the wind blade that came with it. Blood and internal organs spurted out from the two halves of the demon's body.
At the same time as he threw the sword. Sei Itō immediately pressed his hands on the ground and activated Alchemy. A burst of blue and white lightning jumped in Sei Itō's hands for a moment. The demon that had sunk halfway into the ground immediately stopped sinking and struggled with a painful expression.
Then, with a thought, several slender and sharp iron thorns immediately emerged from the demon's body, which was half buried in the ground. The thorns intersected with each other and pierced the demon's body, stabbing it to death.
After doing all this, Sei Itō got up and walked to the boulder with the Gantz sword. He activated Decomposition Alchemy and took out the sword inside. He turned and left the scene and continued to move toward Kyoto.
After eliminating two more waves of nine different kinds of demons, Ito Sei finally passed through the barrier of Kyoto City and came to Kyoto City. However, he didn't immediately go to Ise Grand Shrine. Instead, he asked for a room in a traditional Japanese hotel and stayed there.
"Ge ~" In the room, Sei Itō took out his phone and dialed.
"Ah Cheng?" On the phone, his mother Eriko's voice came out.
"Mother, I'm in Kyoto. Where are you?" Sei Itō asked.
"I'm outside the Kyoto city barrier. I'm about to enter Kyoto." Eriko replied, then asked worriedly, "Why are you here? Where's Reina? "
"Mother, don't worry. Second Sister is safe. I came here because I received a text message from the Ministry of Environment. "Sei Itō first comforted Eriko, then explained.
"Where are you now?" Eriko asked.
"In a small hotel called Fei House on the east side of Kyoto." Sei Itō said.
"Wait for me there." Eriko said and then hung up the phone.
In the room, Sei Itō put away his phone and took out various items to make a black tights for Eriko. After all, no one knew what was going to happen next, so no preparation was superfluous. Maybe it would save his life at some point in time. This was one of the rules of survival that Ito Sei learned in the battlefield of the Steel Smelting World.
Soon, Sei Itō, who was making the black tights, was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Sir, there's a lady outside looking for you." The owner's voice came from outside the door.
"Got it. I'll be right there." Sei Itō shouted outside the door. Then, he put down the things in his hand, got up, and went to the door. He opened the wooden door and followed the owner to the entrance.
"Mother." After arriving at the entrance, Sei Itō immediately saw Eriko, who was wearing a witch costume and holding a long sword wrapped in a purple cloth bag.
"Ah Cheng." Eriko immediately turned to Sei Itō and said with a smile, "Ah Cheng." Although there was no obvious expression, Sei Itō could clearly feel the happiness in her words.
"Mother, let's go back to the room first." Itō Sei said to Eriko with a displeased face. The boss who was peeking at Eriko with lecherous eyes from time to time at the counter said coldly. The owner, who was attacked by Sei Itō's cold snort, immediately turned pale. He looked at Sei Itō in fear with sweat all over his face. Like a mouse that saw a cat, he lowered his head and stared at the registration book on the table without moving.
"Okay." Eriko obviously noticed the owner's situation and answered without looking at him. Then, she followed Sei Itō back to the room. After the two of them sat down, she asked with concern, "How is Reina doing?"
"Second Sister is doing very well. I took her for a baptism some time ago. Because I wasn't sure if the Soul Lady had been chosen in the capital, I didn't take her back. Also, I was worried that the Ministry of Environment would borrow the Ministry of Information's data, so I didn't even call home. I'm sorry." Sei Itō bowed and apologized.
"It's fine. You should be careful." Eriko reached out and pulled Sei Itō up with a smile. "And Reina also went through a baptism. What an unexpected surprise."
"Yes. After all, the environment is a bit chaotic right now. We can't interrupt Second Sister's baptism because of an accident, so I found an opportunity to take Second Sister through the baptism." Sei Itō explained, then smiled. "Now, Second Sister can already defeat purebred demons. She's a qualified Exorcist."
"Is that so? That's good." Eriko was relieved when she heard that. Then, Eriko's gaze fell on the clutter in the room and asked curiously, "What's that?"
"It's the protective suit I'm making for my mother." Sei Itō reached out and took the material on the side. When he put his hands together, an electric light jumped in his hands as he explained to Eriko.
"This technique is …" Eriko frowned and asked in confusion.
"Alchemy." Sei Itō said as he handed the part in his hand to Eriko.
"The Alchemy that was popular in the West two hundred years ago?" Eriko took the part in his hand, raised it in front of her eyes and observed it curiously for a moment. Eriko was indeed an orthodox Exorcist. Unlike Ito Reina, whose understanding of Alchemy was limited to legends, she still had a clear understanding of the history of Alchemy in the Surface World.
"It's similar, but there are some differences. However, the foundation is the same, so it can be said that different paths lead to the same goal." Sei Itō took out some materials again and started making.
"What an amazing technique," Eriko praised as she looked at the way Sei Itō turned the materials into parts.
"Indeed. With Alchemy, I've saved a lot of trouble." Sei Itō said with a smile.
Then, the two looked at each other in silence. Eriko quietly watched Sei Itō turn the materials into finished parts one by one using Alchemy. Then, he used these finished parts to assemble the finished product. In the end, it turned into a set of strange black tights and a hilt without a blade, which appeared in front of her eyes.
