"Lord Shiraishi Kawa, if I haven't satisfied you, I can continue to persevere."
Facing that intensely scrutinizing gaze, Mary, who only wanted to reduce her presence, trembled from her soul. Compared to the exorcism just now,
Now,
Although Shiraishi Kawa didn't have any particularly significant changes in his aura, the red Holy Sword he held in his hand instilled an instinctive fear.
If he had used that weapon during the exorcism, she would probably have been remade long ago.
A wise man submits to circumstances.
Although the exorcism method just now was somewhat... unspeakable, Mary actually felt that being forcibly exorcised was much easier to accept than complete annihilation.
Though her stomach felt full... "Does this Holy Sword of mine have great lethality against ghosts and urban legends?"
Shiraishi Kawa naturally caught Mary's change in attitude. Her initial attitude was more fear, but now it should be described as submission.
It could indirectly prove that
After activating the new profession "Holy Sword User," his lethality against ghosts and urban legends was maxed out. The current lingering question is... whether killing ghosts wandering the city streets can bring experience points to the new profession?
Without any concealment, Mary truthfully stated her attitude towards the Holy Sword: "...Just being near the Holy Sword, I feel like I'm going to melt."
"I understand, more or less."
Shiraishi Kawa didn't mind. Once he confirmed its unparalleled lethality against ghosts and urban legends, things became simple.
The number of ghosts wandering the city streets and alleys was simply outrageous.
Ordinary people generally have very low spiritual perception and find it difficult to detect the presence of ghosts. Only someone like Yotsuya Miko is prone to encountering evil... "I need to go out and take care of something. You are not allowed to leave here."
He hadn't completely purified Mary yet, and the Exorcist's full skills hadn't been maxed out. To put it in more common terms, it was like...
urban legends, I need you to help me cultivate... The white-haired girl, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, nodded like a pounding garlic. Exorcists have too many ways to find evil spirits. Even without a seal,
If she left without permission,
If Shiraishi Kawa caught her again, Mary couldn't even imagine the consequences.
"Okay."

Leaving the apartment.
It was already close to 8 PM, and night had completely enveloped the streets of Tokyo. Compared to daytime, only occasional streetlights provided illumination.
In this situation, the number of ghosts wandering the streets significantly increased.
However, sensing the deterrent power emanating from Shiraishi Kawa, these ghosts maintained a relatively safe distance and dared not approach.
Especially after mastering both the Exorcist and Holy Sword User professions,
His initial calm attitude towards ghosts had changed. Previously, his exorcism methods were too grotesque, but now he had more efficient ways.
"With the deterrent effect of the Adamantine Body, expelling evil spirits shouldn't be a problem."
"I can try."
He arrived at a dimly lit alley with very few pedestrians, where even streetlights were extremely scarce, relying only on the window lights of the houses on both sides for illumination.
Visibility was very poor.
However, relying on the unique sensitivity to ghosts of the "Exorcist" profession, Shiraishi Kawa could clearly sense the surrounding resentment.
"Appear! Shinra Bansho."
Ghosts themselves couldn't harm him, and he eagerly anticipated summoning the Holy Sword. As a brief flash of light appeared, a longsword radiating red light
immediately materialized in Shiraishi Kawa's palm.
Along with the strong deterrent effect brought by the passive skill Adamantine Body of the "Exorcist" profession, without any concealment,
It directly made the ghosts shrink in place, completely unable to move.
"They're all experience babies..."
Shiraishi Kawa had no mercy for ghosts. He walked towards the ghosts, even catching a whiff of their foul stench.
The light from the Holy Sword's gentle swipe
was not particularly noticeable at night, but the trembling ghosts were directly cut into two, their bodies constantly transforming into black resentment and dissipating.
"Exorcism can be this simple?!"
Shiraishi Kawa truly hadn't expected exorcism to be this simple after awakening his new profession. He unlocked the Exorcist profession after encountering Yotsuya Miko.
Regarding the existence of ghosts,
He had long been accustomed to it, and the long-dormant proficiency panel immediately appeared before his eyes.
"You have successfully killed a low-level evil spirit, gaining +10 experience points."
Noticing the experience points gained from killing ghosts, he decisively opened the "Holy Sword User" profession panel, and the detailed data presented before him
instantly thrilled Shiraishi Kawa.
"Holy Sword User Lv1 (10/100)"
He had initially been somewhat worried that raising the level of the extraordinary profession of Holy Sword User in the everyday world would be extremely difficult.
But it turned out... he only needed to kill these common evil spirits to raise his level!
Shiraishi Kawa grew excited, his gaze briefly sweeping the two sides of the alley. With no pedestrians or surveillance, it was now his time to shine!
"With so many ghosts, can I just farm experience to my heart's content?"

Completely killing the ghosts wandering the streets and alleys could also be considered a form of release. According to the local Japanese folklore, they lingered in the world due to intense resentment.
That's why they lingered in the world.
In a way, Shiraishi Kawa was also helping them achieve nirvana. As he withdrew the Holy Sword from the body of a relatively powerful intermediate evil spirit,
That's what he thought.
"You have successfully killed an intermediate evil spirit, gaining +50 experience points."
After clearing out ghosts throughout the night, the constantly gained experience points significantly raised the extraordinary profession level of "Holy Sword User."
Compared to Student and Exorcist,
The experience points required for extraordinary profession upgrades had significantly increased, which Shiraishi Kawa had anticipated, given the different nature of the professions.
"Current level increased from Lv2 to Lv3"
"Holy Sword User Lv3 (10/10000)"
"Core Skill: Shinra Bansho Lv2 (4450 / 5000)"
"Basic Skills: Mana Tempering Lv1, Mana Emission Lv1"
"Skill Points: 2"
"Evolution Points: 2"
"Tonight's harvest is quite good. The monsters on this street have been mostly cleared out. It will still take some time to max out the Holy Sword User's job level."
Shiraishi Kawa's stamina was keeping up.
If he pulled an all-nighter tonight, reaching Lv4 would definitely not be a problem, but such things require gradual progress. In his daily world, there was nothing that could pose a threat to him.
Just as he was about to head home, a notification from the Dimensional Chat Group suddenly appeared in his mind, which surprised Shiraishi Kawa.
"Group Notification: Detecting that group member 'Gold-Rank Adventurer' is in danger. A group member rescue mission has been activated. Player limit: 2 people."
"Mission Reward: 100 points."
"Do you wish to participate in the group member rescue mission?"
