Shiroda Yuki held the gun nervously. The seven Hokkaido villagers gathered around her.
Fortunately, the dead dark creatures turned into ashes. If their brains were splashed and blood splattered, Shiroda Yuki would have spat out a rainbow on the spot.
That was not all. Including the surrounding crowd, it formed a situation of stars surrounding the moon. It looked like a super popular star had suddenly appeared on the street.
"Don't gather around me. I only have one gun. It's useless."
The crowd gathered and dispersed. The roads, bridges, and subways were crowded with fashionable men and women.
Those who were close to Shibuya Station thought of the Yamanote Line or subways. As long as they could get out of this place, they would do anything.
The symbol of Shibuya Station was the Loyal Dog Hachikō. Usually, the young people who gathered in Shibuya Station would choose the Hachikō as the place to meet.
Having stood there for decades, the Hachikō statue had lost its paint and looked dark.
The Loyal Dog Hachikō statue stood there, staring at the panicking crowd with its big eyes.
"The Tokyo Subway Ginza Line has been suspended."
The government responded quickly. All the subways, trams, and railways that passed through Shibuya Station were suspended, including the main arteries of the East Island nation. A single stop would cost a lot of money.
"Shiroda, what do you do? Do you work?" Yasuko looked at Shiroda Yuki with tears in his eyes.
The young people from the countryside had experienced an urban legend. The girl who had grown up with them was a civil servant on the surface, but her real identity turned out to be … What kind of novel was this?
"I'm just an ordinary policeman … Be careful!"
Shiroda Yuki raised his gun and aimed.
They're here again! The dark creatures are here again!
"Ah!
There are more! "
"Five!"
The crowd that had just settled down cried for their parents. They had to come to Shibuya Station tonight.
One, two, three, four, five, five!
Looking at the five thin and fat dark creatures walking out of the shadows, Shiroda Yuki's short legs were trembling.
These dark creatures were not uniform in size. Some were as tall as ordinary people, some were half human, and one was three to four meters tall, like a small giant.
"Bang."
Weapons grew out of their bodies, and in their hands, they looked like deformed murderous warriors.
When the eyeless face turned, it seemed to be sizing up the people around it, looking for a suitable person to test its blade on.
According to ancient standards, even if she wasn't a warrior of the Seiji Family, she was at least someone who served the government.
"Don't panic. We were able to kill one just now. This time, there are only five targets."
Comforting herself, Shiroda Yuki's short legs left the ground. She was afraid that if she moved, she would run away.
But this time, it was no longer a stationary target. The five creatures of darkness suddenly moved, assuming a killing stance as they faced Shiroda Yuki!
The death of their companion made them realize that Shirata Yuki was the only human present who could cause any casualties.
"Aiya!!"
Shiroda Yuki pulled the trigger and screamed with his eyes closed!
The semi-automatic pistol had fired all the bullets!
He was dead. Not a single bullet in the magazine hit its mark.
Shiroda Yuki knew his place!
Boom!
But before the gunshots, there was a rumble, a loud rumble.
Cracks suddenly appeared on the ground, and vines, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, emerged from the ground.
Each of them was four to five meters long and as thick as an adult's thigh. Combined with the dark creatures, it was as if the most primitive nightmare of mankind had appeared.
These things, which looked like vines or tree roots, were lifted into the air and smashed down!
Boom!
Puchi!
The creatures of darkness didn't expect this to happen. Two unlucky ones were smashed into ashes. The other two were tightly bound by the vines like pythons hunting their prey.
Only the largest one was only bound by the vines. The muscles on its body trembled as if it could break free at any time.
"I'm not dead?"
Shiroda Yuki opened her eyes. The scene of the tentacle vines fighting against the creatures of darkness was captured in her eyes.
What's with the vines that appeared out of nowhere?
It seemed like they were on their side. They were allies of justice!
"Bang!"
The creature of darkness wielded its strange weapon and slashed at the vines.
Roar!
The thick vines were chopped off by the weapon. The tall dark creature then tore off the vines on its body in one breath.
Whoosh!
However, the number of vines that emerged from the ground wasn't limited to just a few. After the tall dark creature broke free, more vines shot towards them.
The weapons were swung with vigor. The vines didn't retreat and attacked with all their might. For a moment, the battle was very intense. No one could do anything to the other.
"Mr. Tree Root!
Let me help you! "Shiroda Yuki quickly reloaded.
Bang!
The first shot hit the vines.
"Sorry."
It wasn't Shiroda Yuki's fault that she couldn't even hit a target the size of a small mountain. It was the monster's fault for always moving around.
After seven or eight shots missed, Shiroda Yuki became anxious. She gritted her teeth and aimed at the monster's heart.
Bang!
One shot to the head!
Either the attack missed or the head exploded!
This kind of dark creature had very poor defense. Even if it was as big as a small mountain, it would die instantly after being hit in the head.
One shot ended the monster's life.
Although they didn't have eyes, these vines could sense everything around them. The vines that were ferocious and terrifying during the battle stopped moving.
Without the 'prey,' the vines burrowed down and disappeared in front of everyone in a few breaths.
Shiroda Yuki heaved a sigh of relief. She was scared to death.
Five of them came at once. She thought she was going to die here. Would there be more?
It wasn't just the street where Shiroda Yuki was. Wherever the dark creatures appeared, vines would suddenly appear.
On one side were dark creatures, and on the other side were vines.
The two forces were fighting anxiously with Yoyogi Park as the center. It was a scene that only appeared in movies.
But this group of dark creatures could be said to be the weakest Transcendent that the Island nation had ever encountered. They were so weak that … the new pistols they gave to the police finally came in handy. The police nearby also experienced the thrill of killing these supernatural creatures.
Coupled with the security forces scattered around Yoyogi Park, the terrifying dark creatures were completely subdued in just over an hour.
Compared to the Skull Bullet in Otsu City, this was like a farce.
It wasn't until the crisis was over that passersby noticed the North!
In the darkness of the North, there was something standing tall!
"Tree, it's a tree!"
The 100-meter tall Sacred Tree stood firmly like a longsword piercing between heaven and earth!
This time, they couldn't hide it anymore.
