Koizumi Akako maintained the light with magic.
So we have to navigate a maze to get out?
Itake Karuta inquired.
Koizumi Akako shook her head. "Going through a maze is just a waste of time."
"Hold me up, I'm going to try to destroy this maze."
So, Izumi Karuta hugged Koizumi Akako from behind to help her maintain her balance.
It allowed her to maintain a standing posture despite spraining her left ankle.
Koizumi Akako muttered to herself.
The light on my fingertips grew larger and brighter, yet it wasn't dazzling.
Izuki Karita could clearly feel that
A force emanated from the malevolent energy and coalesced at her fingertips.
It is that power that can absorb, or rather destroy and neutralize, malevolent energy.
The sea-blue necklace around her neck accelerated this process.
The essence of heaven and earth contained within it is transformed into this power in an incomprehensible way.
At the center of the light, a white rune appeared.
Izuki Shigeta could feel that the talisman had a strange attraction for him.
An attraction that, despite knowing the danger, still makes you want to touch it.
However, this attraction held very limited appeal for Itake Karuda.
This is clearly a spell used by the Koizumi family ancestors to fight against evil spirits.
Koizumi Akako clearly increased the magic power consumed by the talisman, and with the necklace's blessing, its power was significantly enhanced.
If it were to fall on a demon, it might actually cause quite a stir.
But the prerequisite is... being able to hit the target.
"If only we could get out of this maze..."
“What should I do next?”
Itake Karuta inquired in advance.
Koizumi Akako has stopped chanting the incantation and is about to use the talisman attack.
"Next step……"
"They should go back to their rooms."
Koizumi Akako was somewhat uncertain.
"Then?"
Izumi Karuta pressed for details, showing some curiosity about Koizumi Akako's plans.
"And then? How should I know what to do next?"
Koizumi Akako was somewhat resigned: "Without weapons and tools around, there's no way to deal with that demon."
"Go back to your room, and you can still be with your people."
"If we're lucky enough to make it to noon tomorrow, we might have a chance to leave this mountain."
Noon is the time when yang energy is at its peak, and the power of evil spirits will be weakened.
But as they were talking,
Koizumi Akako seemed to sense something and suddenly frowned.
Then, the power of the runes that condensed at his fingertips,
It actually hit Izuki Karuta's face directly.
The light vanished in the blink of an eye, and darkness returned to sight.
"Miss Hongzi, why are you attacking me?"
Izuki Shigeta felt somewhat confused.
The innate evil body is flawless and has been tempered over this period of time, making it solid and firm both inside and out.
Koizumi Akako's spell was effective against evil spirits.
However, encountering an innate evil body is like a mosquito trying to suck blood but pricking an iron wall—it can't cause any damage.
"Stop pretending, I know you're the demon!"
"If you really are Itsuki Karuta, why are you hugging me so closely?"
"My heart will definitely race!"
"Just like before in the bathroom!"
Koizumi Akako insisted that the person behind her was an imposter.
"Um...is it possible..."
"Am I the more composed one?"
Izuki Karuta was somewhat speechless.
How could someone who faces temptations every day have his heart racing just from a simple hug?
That incident in the bathroom was entirely due to the overwhelming impact and the fact that I was completely unprepared.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"When influenced by evil spirits, all kinds of thoughts in people's hearts will be magnified infinitely."
"Izuki Karuta is a playboy."
"And you didn't react at all, that's so fake!"
As she spoke, Koizumi Akako struggled and tried to escape.
"Have you forgotten that demons have no warmth?"
"But I have a body temperature."
Izumi Karuta spoke up to remind her, and grasped Koizumi Akako's hand.
Indeed, beautiful women possess a certain inexplicable confidence.
Tomoko Suzuki was like that, and so was Akako Koizumi.
It was as if any man who got close to her had ulterior motives.
It's not uncommon for people like him to be immune to beautiful women.
Moreover, what Izuki Qingtian coveted even more was that necklace...
"This is all an illusion you created!"
"Even if there is body temperature, it could be a false alarm!"
"And your heartbeat didn't change at all, that's so fake!"
"Not to mention lusting after my beauty, we're in danger now, you couldn't possibly..."
Koizumi Akako felt she had seen through the counterfeit.
It struggled and screamed continuously.
It made Izuki Karita's eardrums hurt.
With only five minutes left until midnight,
Left with no other choice, Itsuki Karuta had to opt for the most time-efficient explanation method.
He turned Koizumi Akako around by hand.
"Evil"
"W-What are you going to do?"
Koizumi Akako panicked and stood ready, but she couldn't break free of the grip at all.
In the darkness,
Izumi Karuta used her keen eyesight to precisely kiss Koizumi Akako.
Koizumi Akako instinctively struggled.
But under the passionate yet tender kisses and those unruly hands, Koizumi Akako quickly lost the strength to struggle.
A dozen seconds later, Izuki Karita released Koizumi Akako.
This allowed Koizumi Akako, who had forgotten to breathe through her nose, to continue breathing and prevent her from suffocating and falling into a coma.
"Now you should believe me, right?" Itsuki Karita said.
"Believe what? You evil spirit who likes to take advantage of others!" Koizumi Akako came to her senses and felt ashamed and indignant for not struggling.
