"Don't worry, I'm very strong, you know."
Looking at Yomi and the other, Ayato's eyes flickered, and he said: "Those two are no match for at all."
Yomi: "..."
Kagura: "..."
'Was this person serious?'
Looking at Ayato, who didn't show any trace of a combat stance, the two won were a bit confused.
"Haha, another clueless human has arrived."
The lizard Cursed Spirit roared: "In that case, I'll make you the appetizer..."
Before it could finish its sentence,
A bolt of lightning struck the lizard Cursed Spirit.
Boom!
The entire street shook violently. A large crater appeared on the ground out of nowhere.
Both Yomi and the other, and the high-level Cursed Spirit in the distance, looked bewildered.
'What... just happened?'
"The high-level Cursed Spirit... was killed?"
Kagura's body trembled, her expression blank as she spoke.
Yomi's expression was strange: "Regardless, it seems we're saved. I wonder who that person is."
A look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.
She was a true genius herself.
But now, this young man, who didn't look much older than her, was actually this powerful.
"Y-you..."
The high-level Cursed Spirit's expression changed drastically. Looking at Ayato, it felt a creeping horror.
Whoosh!
Without hesitation, it turned and ran.
As a high-level Cursed Spirit, its intelligence was not inferior to a human's.
Avenge its comrade? Was that a joke?
This person was even more terrifying than that great being.
"Did I give you permission to move?"
Ayato's voice rang out, and another bolt of lightning tore through the sky.
"Damn it."
The high-level Cursed Spirit roared, instinctively swinging its giant club.
Block it!
If it could just block it once, it would have a chance to escape.
Boom!
But the mont it made contact, all it could feel was despair.
Everything about it was destroyed like withered grass.
Boom!
A giant mushroom cloud shot into the sky, and this high-level Cursed Spirit once again turned to ash.
"Gulp!"
Yomi and Kagura swallowed their saliva, completely stunned.
Ranguren beside them curled up on the ground, afraid that Ayato might take the opportunity to kill it too.
Just then, Ayato's voice rang out.
"You two are exorcists?"
"That's right."
Kagura answered instinctively.
Yomi gave a slight bow and said calmly: "Although I don't know who you are, thank you for saving our lives."
"I am Isayama Yomi, from the Supernatural Disaster Counterasures Division."
"And this is my younger sister, Tsuchimiya Kagura."
Hearing this, Ayato understood.
'It really was them.'
'No wonder they looked familiar at first glance.'
'This world really could fuse anything.'
He looked at the two won and smiled: "Since it's a life-saving favor, how do you plan to repay ?"
As soon as he said this, Yomi pushed Kagura behind her, looking alert: "Sir, it's not what a good person does to demand repaynt for a favor."
"Because I'm not human."
Ayato smiled slightly, and his Devil wings burst out, imdiately filling the air with an invisible oppression.
"A De... Devil?"
Yomi and Kagura's faces changed drastically.
They staggered back a few steps, both assuming fighting stances.
"Is this how you treat your lifesaver?"
Ayato said helplessly: "And with my strength, if I really wanted to do sothing, could you resist?"
"..." x2
Yomi and Kagura fell completely silent.
Indeed, the other party was unimaginably powerful.
If he wanted to kill them, it would be easy.
But then, what should they do?
They exchanged a glance and fell into utter tornt.
What could they offer to repay a Devil for saving their lives?
"So, have you made up your minds?"
Ayato looked at the two won, his gaze flickering slightly, and said: "You know, no one can owe a Devil anything."
"Even you exorcists are no exception."
Staring at Ayato, Yomi took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
She knew Ayato was right.
Everything in the world has its price.
In normal tis, with the power of the Supernatural Disaster Counterasures Division, it might not be impossible to negotiate with a Devil.
But now, they were at his rcy.
And at the very least,
This Devil before them hadn't done anything too excessive yet.
So at least, there was room for negotiation.
Yomi thought for a mont and said: "Then, Mr. Devil, what do you want us to offer?"
"Simple. Dedicate everything to . Beco beings who serve ."
Yomi was stunned, then imdiately retorted: "No, that's too much."
Kagura's face was red, but she also shook her head and said: "Serving a Devil and such... what difference does that make from both of us dying?"
The two exchanged a glance and again assud fighting stances.
"That does make so sense."
Ayato nodded, a playful expression on his face.
He knew they would refuse.
But the next request was his real goal.
The demolition effect is most useful at tis like this.
"In that case, have one of you serve . That way, at least one of you will be saved, right?"
Hearing this, Yomi and Kagura were both stunned.
'This Devil had actually lowered the conditions.'
'If it could save her...'
They looked at each other at the sa ti, their eyes flickering slightly.
'This plan...'
'Didn't seem unacceptable.'
'At least in this city now, with this Devil's protection, we might be able to leave safely.'
'Thinking about it, this Devil wasn't so bad, proposing an option that was sowhat beneficial to us.'
Looking at the two won, Ayato didn't rush.
The surrounding Cursed Spirits had long been shaken to death by his magical energy.
Finally, Yomi spoke: "If I agree to your conditions, can you guarantee that Kagura leaves this city safely?"
"That would be a different transaction."
Ayato smiled slightly and said: "Of course, if it's a request from my servant, I can agree."
"But honestly, I suggest Kagura beco my servant."
