Chapter 148 - The Money Shot!
The human soldiers were confident, but I wasn't. Although we had won the previous battle, we were far from victory.
However, I didn't want to ruin their moods as high morale was better than none. It was better for an army to be overconfident than scared.

The guys and I were playing poker, and surprisingly, I was winning quite a bit. Since the friend group was quite wealthy due to the "Moon Exorcist" thing, we were placing quite large bets.

Carpy used water blades to cut up all the undead demons grabbing onto me. He had a special talent for this kind of thing. Was I worried that he had become too skilled at cutting things up? Yeah, a bit.
When I first picked Carpy, he was just a tool, maybe a pet at best. But after being toge...

Being abandoned by my family wasn't a good feeling, but I didn't hold it against them. I wasn't someone who lived up to their expectations. I was powerful by the standards of the current times, but I didn't intend to use that power to kill people and other exorcists needlessly.

In a white cloth tent, the Moon Exorcist gathered a few things and gave each of us something, except for Chariot, Big-Nose, and Diamond Guy. I still had to learn the guys’ names.
We each received new cards, which served as proof of our Elite Exorcist ranks. I stared at the card an...

The figure clapping revealed themselves to be Uwabami, with her long dark hair, white kimono, and snake-like eyes. She looked at Agon with a proud smile, that reminded me of an aunt who had just heard good news. But the glint in her eyes was like a protective cat.

Agon threw a punch in front of him, and Sei charged towards it, appearing to attack. But just before Agon's fist extended, Sei manifested a mirror. The four-armed demon's eyes widened, but it was too late as strings burst out of the ground and wrapped around him like a cocoon. However, it took ...

I had predicted that Velma's clumsiness would eventually lead to her losing her glasses, triggering her sadistic second personality. Most Exorcists after reaching a certain rank became weird, and some even psychopathic. Velma was a prime example of this, as her second personality was nothing short o...

It took me a couple of days to get back into fighting shape. Bets was also recovering, but all the medicine and antibiotics he had taken caused him to sleep a lot.
