Chapter 20: The Eve of the Competition

Under a blood-colored sky, a man with long silver hair and an indiscernible face stood at the top of a mountain made of the corpses of various otherworldly demons. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info One person, one sword, alone in the face of the demons in the sky.

A bloodstained white-haired young man stood behind the man, staring fixedly at his back, which would not take half a step back, and then rushed fearlessly towards the demon army in front of him.

The screen stops.

Then Bai Chen opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

"It's been a long time since I've had this dream......"

……

"Yes, I do have a slight connection to [NoName]. I thought it was hopeless to rebuild......... But I've heard that a newcomer has defeated the Godhead owner, so let's take a look at the situation. ”

Hearing this, Garde fell to his knees in a terrible blow. It's not because of the woman of the "ghost clan" in front of her. It's that he didn't expect that in addition to the distant birds, he would also have to fight other monsters that could defeat the owner of the godhead. This fact made him despair.

"W-When did this happen? Didn't the Black Rabbit make it? ”

"It's a little before this evening. It is said to be a teenager. However, you can be sure that it is a completely different person from you who is in a dispute with you. ”

"No, no kidding!"

Gard screamed and opened the secret door, and began to frantically collect his money.

The girl who called herself the ghost clan played with her blonde hair with her fingertips and looked at Gard in disappointment.

"You really don't have any backbone...... However, it is impossible to escape from here. ”

"Iβ€”I don't care so much! Do you know what kind of ambition I came to Hakoniwa? I've been for so many years...... Since the time when it was just an ordinary beast, he has always longed for the upper level of the box court and lived! But it was all ...... by the damn woman Brute......! ”

Fear welled up in Garder's eyes with unwilling tears.

What did you do wrong? Just as when I lived in the forest and lived only with sharp teeth and claws, I can only rely on wisdom and strategy to climb all the way up.

"Perennial ambition...... From what I've heard, cats are a race that can get Lingpersonality as long as they live a long time. Hmph, it's a mongrel-like Lingga, I guess so. But the same is true for other orcs. As long as you live for a long time, you will naturally manifest divinity. Later, with the explosive changes in the ecosystem, it was sublimated into a 'phantom beast' race...... But if you sell your soul to the devil, you will die. If you honestly keep your beast form and continue to cultivate, I'm afraid you won't be bothered by these mundane things, right? ”

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!! ”

Half-mad, Garde pressed his hand to the blonde woman.

However, it was suppressed by the woman's seemingly slender hand with unprecedented rigidity.

"Okay tiger, don't rush. I've heard about it all this time. Ah, don't ask me where I heard that? I don't want to lose my friends. ”

The woman said with a teasing smile. But that gaze was unusually cold.

Garde's body trembled again with the horror of the woman in front of him.

"That is, as long as you win, everything will be solved, right?"

"Iβ€”How did I win! If you've heard about the day, you should know it! Iβ€”I have no power to resist those imps! ”

"Well, you may not be able to win now. However, what if you get a new gift...... the gift of the 'Oni'? Isn't that a chance to win? ”

With trembling hands, Gard stopped. Her face froze in shock, and it was only then that she faced the woman for the first time.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are you asking me to betray the [Six Hundred and Sixty-Six Beasts]? ”

"In terms of results, it will be so. But you know it. The great demon of the past has no intention of returning to the box court at all. The Six Hundred and Sixty-Six Beasts are nothing more than a rabble gathered under the 'Host's Authority'. Even if you stay in that kind of place, you don't have a future. ”

A sweet, seductive, glamorous voice whispered in Garder's ear.

"I won't say betray you. They are the only ones that interest me. At the end of the matter, you will be sinless and receive new gifts. That's all. You're not at a loss, are you? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Gard regained his composure slightly, thinking about it.

If the blonde girl in front of her is really a pure-blood of the ghost clan, then it is very likely that she is in command of a powerful community. And, as she said, the Six Hundred and Sixty-Six Beasts are a rabble. Even the current situation, which could have been solved by simply sending a messenger to ask for help, did not respond to anyone at all. In that case, it's not a bad idea to find a new backer.

Other things to look out for...... It's this girl, what kind of "ghost clan" does she belong to?

"I want to ask a question. Where is your community? ”

"This can't be said. If you don't agree, temptation is useless. I'm going to go back while the moon is there. ”

"Cut, I don't have to choose!"

Gard shook off the girl's hand roughly.

"Okay. There's no time left, though. How long does it take to change the entire race? ”

"Don't worry about that. Just now, spend a little bit of time here. ”

"What?"

Gard's neckline is grabbed by the maiden. Before he knew what was happening, the blonde woman's teeth bit through his neck. Tear open the skin and suck Garder's blood.

"Uh, ahhh??hh

In an instant, a tide of bright red blood that engulfed the beast's instinct surged through his body. The heart, beating as irregularly as a torrent, as if every cell was scorching in the fire, Gard screamed miserably.

As his consciousness sank into the crucible of hell, he finally understood who he was negotiating.

(Sucking, Vampire's Pure-blooded - "Hakoniwa Knight"!?) This woman, how could it be! οΌ‰

"I'm not lying to you. Because I have indeed given you the gift of the Oni Clan. ”

The girl said, Pink Tongue licking her blood-stained lips. Although she has a mischievous smile on her face, it is a beauty that will make the hearts of those who see it feel extremely cold.

"Alright. What are you going to do, New Student【NoName】

……

The next day, the outer door of Box Court 2105380. Perribed Boulevard, in front of Fountain Square.

Asuka, Yao, and Ren, as well as Black Rabbit, Shirachen, Sixteen Nights, and the Three Hairy Cats, are heading to the residence of the OresGaro community. When I walked to the open-air cafΓ© where the [Six Injuries] flag was hung yesterday, the clerk accosted

"Ahh Was yesterday's guest! Isn't it time to go to a duel!? ”

"Smack, Miss with a hooked tail! That's right, the ladies are going to mop them up now!'

The cat lady approached and bowed to Asuka and the others.

"The boss asked me to cheer everyone on! Our community has had enough of them! Teach them that they can never come out and do evil again! ”

The cat lady said and waved her hands back and forth, cheering for the group.

Asuka smiled bitterly and nodded hard at her.

"Okay, that's what we're going to do."

"Oooh! That's a great answer! ”

The cat lady suddenly showed a full smile. However, she suddenly lowered her voice and whispered

"Actually, I have something to say to you. It is reported that the people of [OresGaro] are preparing to play in the residential area instead of the stage area within the territory. ”

"In the residential area?"

Black Rabbit asked. Asuka, who had heard the term for the first time, asked her puzzled

"Black Rabbit. What is the stage area? ”

"It's an area set aside for the Gift Tournament."

The stage area is owned by the community and is dedicated to the competition. There are very few people who can prepare for the arena in another dimension like the White Yaksha. And even more so at the bottom.

In addition to this, there are also free zones for commercial and entertainment facilities. There is a huge number of areas in each outer gate, such as dwelling, farming, and breeding areas.

"And! Everyone in the community is gone! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's weird. ”

Asuka and the others looked at each other, a little puzzled.

"yes, yes!? I don't know what it will be, but be careful! ”

After receiving the warm cheer from the clerk, the group walked towards the [OresGaro] residential area.

"Ah, everyone! I was able to see it...... Butβ€”"

The black rabbit couldn't help but doubt his eyes for a moment. The same goes for everyone else. Because, the living area in front of it has become like a forest.

Yao looked at the towering trees and vine-strewn doors, and exclaimed

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This is the jungle? ”

"After all, it's a community where tigers live. It's not surprising at all."

"No, it's unusual. The headquarters of the OresGaro community should be an ordinary residential area...... And these trees aren'tβ€”"

Jen said cautiously reaching for the trees. The branches pulsated like creatures, and the bark felt like a fetal movement.

"Sure enough, it's 'ghosted'. How is this possible, though! ”

"Renjun. There is a 'contract document' posted here. Asuka said.

A piece of parchment posted on the doorpost records the contents of the contest.
