The only thing that can be called a dim space is the faint red light that flickers on the ceiling, like a street lamp, pointing into the distance. Misaka helped Asakura Ye to sit next to him, and asked nervously, "Are you okay?" ”

At this time, they were not on the ground, but underground, and just now, Ma Cangye took advantage of the moment when Wang Yue's vision was obscured, opened their nearby escape hatch, and quickly drilled in.

But this is only to ensure their temporary safety, and when the maze above is completely destroyed, Wang Yue will understand that he has fallen into his trick.

"It's fine. Looking at Misaka, who was self-blaming and worried in front of him, Asakura Ha replied with a smile after coughing dryly.

"I'm sorry... I...."If I had listened to him at first and left here immediately, I wouldn't have been in this situation. At the same time, she also understands the meaning of what Takasaki said before that you are still useful to me.

thought that he was stupidly used by him, let him know about Ma Cangye's past, let him know the relationship between Wang Yue and Ma Cangye, and let him use this, causing the current Wang Yue to completely turn against them.

Thinking that she was responsible for the current situation, she felt extremely guilty in her heart, her nose ached, and a thin film of water appeared in her eyes.

"It doesn't matter. Who made me always like to keep plans in mind? This should be the so-called self-inflicted blame. Asakura Ye said self-deprecatingly, if he had explained it clearly from the beginning, what happened now would not have happened.

"So, what now?" Misaka looked at the sword in front of his chest, and she didn't want to pull it out, fearing that she had made a mistake again, but asked him what to do next.

"Misaka, can you help me delay Kotsuchi?"

"Delay Wang Yue? I don't think it's likely. ”

She had heard about the strength stratification of the traverser from Ma Cangye before, and she also learned from his mouth that her strength was S rank, but Wang Yue's Yan Emperor form was a god rank, although it was only at the bottom of the god rank, but it was not an S rank that could be dealt with.

So for his arrangement, Misaka shook his head without hesitation.

"I know. But what if you add the power I give you?"

"If you transfer the power to me, then how are you going to deal with Takasaki instantly? And we can't perform the ritual here!"

Ma Cangye let himself delay Wang Yue, the purpose was to solve Gao Qi instantaneously by himself. Thinking that he was going to transfer the power to himself like fantasizing about Mite, she immediately raised her own questions.

"It's not a transfer, it's a given. ”

"Given?"

"Hmm. You should know about the Guardians. ”

"Yes. The Guardian is a guardian who signs a contract with the world, and when the world needs him, he is summoned to collect and protect the world or solve people, things, and things that the world cannot solve. Why do you ask?"

Thinking of the Guardian that Wang Yue had told him, Misaka repeated his words at that time.

A piece of paper suddenly appeared in Asakuraha's hand, and he handed it to Misaka and said, "Because, I want you to be my guardian." ”

"Become a guardian?" Misaka, who took the paper, looked at Asakura Ye blankly, and for a while he didn't understand what he meant. But after a few seconds, she understood what he was talking about, so she asked in surprise, "Ah Ye, are you the world?"

But after finishing speaking, he immediately covered his mouth, worried that Wang Yue above would hear it. Fortunately, Wang Yue was destroying the labyrinth, and in that noisy environment, her voice just now was completely covered.

"How could I be the world. Looking at her surprised and incredulous expression, Asakura Ye shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The guardian contract is signed between the world and others through the root, and I am just a reincarnation with the root." ”

After explaining again, looking at Misaka, who still didn't understand a little, Asakura continued to explain, "I won the Holy Grail War before, so I have roots. That's why I can make a Guardian contract with you. ”

"That's right. Misaka looked at the paper on it, and there were only three contents.

The first is to allow the signatories to take one-third of their strength from themselves as a basis.

The second is that if there is a World Call signatory, it is up to the contractor to decide whether to go or not.

The third is that if he dies, the contractor will become an ordinary person and stay in the current world to continue living.

“.......”

"No problem, right?"

Seeing that Misaka was silent, Asakura Ye asked.

"No problem. Misaka shook his head after thinking for a while.

"How do I sign it?"

"Hold your hand out. ”

Misaka reached out in the air, and Asakura held out his red sticky hand. The palms of the two opened and pressed together, and then separated, and at the same time, Misaka sensed that his body seemed to have received some signal, and that something was about to come out of his body.

Soon, a pure white, mochi-like object slowly attached to Ma Cangye's palm as the palms of the two of them separated, and was pulled out of her body. Asakura touched it to the contract. As soon as the two touched, the contract burned on its own and disappeared into thin air, and the mass of mochi returned to Misaka's body.

"I thought I was going to take an oath or something. ”

Misaka felt the energy in her body, knowing that the contract had been completed, she couldn't help but think of the pictures that she would only see in books or on the screen, and said with emotion.

"If you like, it's okay to take the oath now. ”

"No need. ”

"Let's go, then. ”

The sound above was getting weaker and weaker, proving that Wang Yue was about to destroy the labyrinth. Asakura Ye didn't bother to continue teasing Misaka, but reluctantly stood up and said to her.

Asakura Ha handed his Scarlet Moon to Misaka, "Wait a minute, you will become my appearance and attract the attention of Koetsu and Takasaki." Then I took advantage of his unpreparedness and trapped him with an inherent enchantment. ”

Misaka, who took the scarlet moon, nodded, and at the same time found a hot feeling coming from his arm, "This is?"

"The concept is armed, and the sky is covered with a sevenfold ring. Yes, I will use it. ”

"Hmm. Then I'll go up first. After Misaka nodded, he used the transformation technique to transform into the appearance of Asakura leaves.

"Misaka. The world, after dealing with the traverser, resets time to the day we came. Just as Misaka was about to go up, Asakura Ye lit a cigarette and said.

“..... I will convince Wang Yue. Let him understand you... There was no betrayal of Officer Wang. ”

Knowing what Asakura Ye meant when he said this, that is, if he solved Takasaki, he would let Wang Yue dispose of himself. And his death means that the third article takes effect, and the world resets time, and he will change back to his original life. Knowing this, she prudently agreed.

"Heh... Really?" she took a deep breath, letting the hazy white mist drift in front of her eyes, and the corners of Asakuraha's mouth lifted slightly, slightly surprised that she heard the meaning of her words.

The words of fate have been fulfilled.

Misaka looked at his eyes that didn't have much expression, remembering that fate said that the future of the two of them would be connected, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly. But when I think of what it said to Asakura Ha, I can't help but feel a little curious and sympathetic about his future.

Damn, where the hell are they hiding?

Wang Yue destroyed the last wooden wall, but still did not find the figure of Ma Cangye. He frowned, angry eyes looking at everything beneath him.

Misaka, who turned into the shape of Asakura leaves, jumped out of the escape hatch, looking at Wang Yue, who destroyed the maze because he couldn't find Asakura leaves, and at the same time found that there was a puddle of red liquid flowing under some wooden pillars and severed limbs that were crushed underneath.

Can hatred really make a person like this?

The people who knew that those people were curious about the movement here were all directly killed by Wang Yue mercilessly. Now he doesn't have the gentle and friendly feeling he used to have, but like an avenger returning from hell, where hatred and anger completely dominate all his actions.

Regarding what Wang Yue is doing now, Misaka thought wistfully in his heart.

At the same time, he also focused his eyes on the culprit, and now Takasaki was still sitting there, looking at him with a smile on his face. Seeing his smiling face, Misaka's clenched fists made a gurgling sound.

Knowing that he has more means than he thinks, plus wait a moment and let Asakura Ye solve him personally. So he shifted his gaze to Wang Yue, who was looking for Ma Cangye.

"Are you looking for me?"

No sooner had she said her words than a long sword sliced through the air and quickly reached out at her. Looking at the flickering blade of the sword, Misaka waved the scarlet moon in his hand, and the long sword turned into a firework in the air and disappeared.

"Asakura Leaf...."

Misaka saw that Wang Yue's attention had been attracted to her, and just when she wanted to leave the exit position and divert the attention of Takasaki and Wang Yue, she found that Takasaki had disappeared.

============

"It was such a surprise to me. Takasaki instantly looked at the surroundings and knew that this was the inherent barrier of the Asakura leaf. I thought that when he would choose Misaka to fight Wang Yue, he took the opportunity to use the inherent enchantment, but he didn't expect that he would choose to launch it from the ground and pull himself directly into this enchantment.

Asakura Ye didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, but after realizing that his wound and the curse on his body had not recovered under the effect of the enchantment, he knew that this curse was similar to Yuan Zheng's ability, so he immediately rushed over, trying to quickly solve the enemy in front of him.

However, as soon as he began to step out, he stumbled and fell heavily to the ground. Black blood kept spitting out of his mouth, and even the original red from the wound turned pure black.

"Poison?"

"Poison, of course. ”

Takasaki instantly looked at Asakura Ye who was lying on the ground and couldn't move, and walked over excitedly.

Sneering at his foot on Asakuraha's head, looking at his excited look because of the victory, Asakura asked, "When?" He remembered never touching any of the food or drink he handed him. If you poison it in other ways, then you should be aware of it.

"The mochi that Misaka gave you to eat was given to her by me. Without this sword, the poison would not have attacked. So it's normal that you don't notice it. He kicked his body over, then pulled out the sword that was stuck in his chest, black and strange lines crawling all over his body like a reptile.

Yes!!!!!

Rolling on the ground in pain, Asakuraha's mouth kept wailing, a pain he hadn't experienced since Nidhogg's torture.

"It's a good thing that your inherent enchantment is quite special, otherwise I would really have to take your body to a safe place and transform. After all, I'm very weak in the process of transformation. ”

Looking at the wailing Asakura leaf, Takasaki said loudly with a smile. At the same time, a huge altar was summoned, and preparations for the ritual began.
