High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 1218: Chapter 280: Cat Meowing

The Blood Symbol Bullet grazed Elena’s shoulder and flew past the giant toad crouched behind her, striking mid-air.

”Snap!”

A sound reminiscent of a silver jug breaking or ice surface melting echoed in this small world. Behind Satoguya in mid-air, the golden full moon was blasted with a bowl-sized gap, as if a round pie had been bitten into. Dense black cracks spread like a spiderweb, emanating from the gap in all directions.

”Crack, crack...”

Accompanied by the fine sound of cracking, the moonlight trembled violently, even its color becoming somewhat illusory. Satoguya’s figure also swayed. Seizing the moment, the Black Cat forcefully pressed down with both paws, letting out a loud roar.

”Boom!”

Dust flew, magic power overflowed, and the secret realm’s small world moaned in pain under the impact between the Black Cat and Satoguya. The Black Cat stood upright, pressing down with both paws, its expression fierce; meanwhile, the giant toad remained seated, unmoving, barely opening one eye while keeping the other half-closed. As the Black Cat exerted force, a few more tentacles rose from behind it.

Those additional tentacles did not target the Black Cat.

Instead, they aimed at the Witch holding a gun, half-kneeling at the Black Cat’s feet.

After Jiang Yu fired the Blood Symbol Bullet from the Beretta Double-Barrel, she received a special ”greeting” from the Outer God. Several thick tentacles sprung from behind Satoguya, howling as they harshly whipped the Witch. Simultaneously, broken silver moon fragments transformed into sharp blades, falling from the sky directly toward the Witch’s head. Moreover, the eye Satoguya half-closed specifically widened a bit to glare at the Witch.

The frenzied psychic attack, the lashing tentacles, the blades falling from the sky—all different attacks with the same target, the Witch holding the gun, half-kneeling at the Black Cat’s feet.

The Black Cat’s eyes widened, and its roar intensified, but it only had two front paws to exert force with, and at that moment they were tangled by Satoguya’s tentacles.

”Snap...”

One of the amber beads on Jiang Yu’s wrist silently shattered, releasing a four-leaf clover that had been encapsulated within. Without any wind, it gracefully rose. One leaf held back the roaring tentacles, another blocked the silver blades raining from the sky, another transformed into a green halo neutralizing the Outer God’s psychic attack, and the last leaf landed on the Beretta Double-Barrel gun.

In traditional Magic study, a four-leaf clover represents luck.

And the four-leaf clover encased in amber was a luck magic charm gifted to Jiang Yu by an elder of the Jiang Family. It was meant to avoid misfortune to the greatest extent and bring fortune—if the misfortune was too powerful, it could also release powerful magic to prevent the misfortune from occurring.

The misfortune brought by Satoguya exceeded the range that the luck magic could avert.

Thus, the amber shattered, releasing the powerful magic encased within the four-leaf clover.

The tentacles, the silver blades, and the gaze emanating a frenzied aura dissipated silently under the mitigation of the four-leaf clover in the secret realm’s small world.

The remaining leaf on the Beretta Double-Barrel, a faint green magical glow flickering, gradually restored the rune and array on the gun’s body that were on the verge of collapse due to firing the Blood Symbol Bullet.

As if oblivious to the dire situation just moments ago, Jiang Yu continued to half-kneel on the ground, shouldering the long gun, taking aim at Satoguya’s body, and repeatedly pulling the trigger.

”Bang! Bang! Bang!!”

The ordinary Evil Suppressing Charms made no ripples on the Outer God’s body and were minimally effective. Zheng Qing even doubted whether those charms had scratched the oily skin of Satoguya.

”Sigh...”

Jiang Yu sighed deeply, stood up, put away the gun, and then fished out a slightly thinner Law book from her handbag. The Law book was black with gold-threaded bindings and leather buckles, bearing not a single rune or maxim on its cover—it seemed quite unremarkable.

Yet, when the witch unfastened the buckle and opened the Law book, a terrifying wave of magic fluctuation radiated from it, catching the attention of both the Black Cat and Satoguya.

After opening the Law book, Jiang Yu did not chant any spell but instead reached into the book and slowly pulled outward.

In a moment, an elderly lady, holding the witch’s hand, slowly walked out from within the pages of the Law book. The old lady looked very old, with silver hair, kind eyes, and a gentle demeanor, and she wore a simple, yet ancient-styled, black cloak along with a wide-brimmed, pointed wizard hat and supported herself with a dragon-headed cane.

However, compared to the other wizards present, the old lady appeared slightly more ethereal; Zheng Qing deduced that she must be merely a projection left by Jiang Yu’s elder.

”Outer God?” The old woman’s voice wasn’t loud but carried clearly to every wizard present, her tone tinged with surprise and disapproval, ”How can such monstrosities still be in the school?”

Her response was the sudden appearance of eyeballs.

As soon as the old woman appeared, Satoguya, who had been squatting all this while, suddenly opened its large eyes. Huge ears like bat wings sprouted from the back of its head—something the Black Cat noticed for the first time that the giant toad possessed ears. Then, the pus-filled blisters on Satoguya burst one after another, spewing foul-smelling green fluid while squeezing out golden eyeballs.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Satoguya was cloaked in a cloak adorned with eyeballs.

Those golden eyeballs, half-closed, rolled around and then focused uniformly on the elderly lady floating in midair. Their gaze was cold and indifferent, seemingly reflecting different starry skies.

The Black Cat only glanced once, and instantly the corners of its eyes burst open, streaming down two streaks of crimson blood. Simultaneously, its outer layer of misty ’external skin’ began to boil violently as if oil had been dropped into water. The Black Cat could distinctly feel every bone and piece of flesh in its body starting to ”rebel,” racing towards the direction where Satoguya was.

”Meow!!!”

A sharp cat’s scream pierced the sky.

A golden comet with a trailing blaze broke the bounds of the rules, crashing into this tiny world and smashing straight onto the head of the Black Cat.

”Thud!”

It was like an enhanced version of a forehead flick, leaving the Black Cat teary-eyed and suppressing the rebellious flesh and bones inside it.

If not for its paws being restrained by the giant toad on the other side, the Black Cat would definitely be clutching its head and screaming in place right now.

”Darn it!”

Yellow Flowered Cat’s exasperated voice rang in Black Cat’s ears, buzzing in its head, ”Gather your spirits, learn to control yourself! Don’t blow up the entire school!”
