Chapter V: Loopholes in Rules

The game of the Demon King is in full swing, and the participants are abused to the ********.

Since the strongest Hakuyasha is trapped in the black whirlwind and cannot intervene, the contestants of the group led by [Nameless] and [Salamandra] can only rely on their own strength to fight against the Demon King.

"Hey, whoever it is, read me the 'contract document'!"

Trapped in the black whirlwind, the White Yaksha shouted at the people around her, she had promised that if the Demon King appeared, she would deal with it, how could she be trapped here and do nothing.

Her voice was very loud, and the interference of the whirlwind reached the ears of the girls who hurried over.

The bird, who ran in small steps with the hem of his skirt, didn't have time to catch his breath, lowered his head and picked up a "contract document" on the ground, took two deep breaths, and read it aloud.

"Grimm Gimoire.Hameln" Seal

"Wait, there's some ......"

Asuka, who had thought he had finished reading, saw words written in a more hidden place.

※ Matters related to the game participation ※

At this time, the conditions for the participating game leader to participate in the battle have not been met.

If you want the Game Leader to join the fray, please meet the conditions of participation. ”

It says that it seems that in order for Hayasha to join the battle, some kind of entry conditions must be met first.

However, the "contract document" did not specify what the important conditions for entering the war were!

Asuka carefully checked the "contract documents", and there was nothing written on them except the previous ones.

Deliberate concealment, or loophole?

Before Asuka could figure it out, Hayasha shouted again, "Listen! What I have said at the beginning of now, I must convey it to Black Rabbit word for word. You are never allowed to make a mistake, knowing that your mistake could lead directly to the death of the contestant! Maybe...... There is a worse end than death! ”

Nervous, urgent, and unprecedentedly strong feelings seeped into Asuka's heart from her tone, and she could only nod her head in understanding. She focused all her attention on the moment, not daring to miss a single word.

"First, the game may be in the "step of making the rules so that the instructions are not perfect"! This is a technique used by some demon kings. The worst-case scenario is that "there is no way to crack this game"! ”

After waiting for the bird to get ready, White Yasha spoke quickly.

"Second, tell Black Rabbit that this demon king is likely to belong to the emerging community."

Although Asuka was surprised when he heard "There is no way to crack this game", Hakuyasha's words did not pause or explain at all, and he continued to speak on to himself.

Now it's time to race against time to tell Asuka the most critical information, not in detail.

"Third, I'm afraid the way to seal me is ......"

There is only one way to seal the star spirit in this form, and when Hakuyasha was about to tell Asuka about it, the obstructor appeared.

After all, this is not a fairy tale, and the villain will not always appear only after the protagonist has learned all the information.

"Okay~ That's it?"

Pest's only two subordinates, the white-clad Magic Flute Witch Ratting, with a three-headed salamander, separated the White Yaksha from the birds.

Legend has it that the salamander has a small amount of dragon blood, and Salamandra, who worships the dragon, is proud of it, and it is no surprise that these three salamanders are members of Salamandra.

However, from the crazy eyes in them, it was clear that they had been manipulated by Ratting's magic flute. Blazing sparks erupted from the salamander's mouth, exuding a frenzied aura like a demonic beast that had lost its mind.

"Asuka, Yao, and Ren, get out of here now! Be sure to convey my words to Black Rabbit! Let's go! ”

When the enemy appeared, Hayasha was startled, and immediately yelled at Asuka after reacting.

Hakuyasha, who had personally appraised the gifts of the three troubled children, was well aware of the potential that Asuka and Yao possessed, but potential did not mean power. At this time, if the two girls are involved in the game of the Demon King, it is like a butterfly involved in a storm that is completely shattered in the storm, and the withered appearance is too desolate.

"Hold on to me, Asuka and Ren!"

Yao's decisiveness was undoubtedly quite high, and she immediately stretched out her hands and grabbed Asuka and Yao one by one, her legs slightly bent, and she immediately picked them up. A whirlwind blew under her feet, and she climbed quickly with the help of the wind.

"Oops! Griffin power? A mere human can manipulate the power of a griffin, and it's really a very special human being. If you look closely, it seems to be very cute and cute, and it's my favorite type! ”

La Ting, who was directing the salamanders in pursuit, said happily, as if she didn't think Yao Sanren would be able to escape, and didn't even move.

The griffon's strength is very strong, and legend has it that it is the master of the sky along with the dragon, and it is clear that Yao, who has the power of a griffon, is not something that a few lizards with thin fire dragon blood can deal with.

Seeing that the salamander was getting closer and closer, Yao set off a gust of wind, and the fierce wind blew directly towards the salamander. The oncoming wind interfered with the balance of the salamander's flight, and their formation instantly became chaotic, either falling headlong or flying crookedly and not knowing where to fly.

After easily killing the pursuers, Yao and Asuka were relieved, but Lating was still smiling.

I saw Lating raise the flute and bring it to her mouth, and then the sound of the magic flute sounded high and low, beautiful.

The speed of sound propagation in the air was quite rapid, and Yao and Asuka immediately heard the kind of music that directly stimulated the central organs.

Sharp senses have become Yao's weakness, and she is more receptive to the influence of the magic flute played by Ratting.

At first, Yao still tried to endure the magic sounds that crept into her mind, but soon she found that her resistance was drastically decreasing. As the music continued to drill into the ears, consciousness and muscles slowly relaxed uncontrollably.

"Hmm!"

Yao bit the tip of her tongue in a daze, and the sharp pain that penetrated the cerebral cord immediately cleared her groggy brain a little, and she tightened her somewhat relaxed muscles for the first time. She also held two companions who had placed their lives on her in her hands, and if she lost consciousness and let go of her hands, Asuka and Yao, who could not fly, would probably fall to their deaths.

However, this time the willpower could not work a miracle, and Yao, who was barely sober, soon found that the feeling of powerlessness returned.

The whirlwind under his feet suddenly disappeared, and Yao, who was weak all over, still insisted on holding the two companions and refused to let go, and as a result, the three of them fell down together.

The three of them fell to the ground so hard that they couldn't get up for a long time.

Of course, Yao couldn't stand up at all because of his weakness, but Asuka Kazuhito almost fell on his back.

At this time, the salamander, which had been blown away by the strong wind, reappeared in the air and immediately flew towards the three of them.

At the critical moment, Asuka can only stand up.

"There's no time! Benevolence! "Immediately take Kasuga-san to find the Black Rabbit"! ”

The absolute order was given, and the consciousness in Ren's eyes gradually dissipated, and Yao was picked up and left the scene, leaving Asuka alone to face Latin, who was leading the salamander.

I'm sorry, Brother Jen! I'm really sorry.

I silently apologized to the honest companion in my heart, and it was definitely not Asuka to manipulate the partner's consciousness, but now there was no other way.

"Oh, it's just you, what about your companion?"

Lating, who arrived slowly, looked around, she was not worried that there was an ambush around, but she was just annoyed that the girl she liked was gone.

"Leave it to me and leave first. A third-rate demon of your calibre, I alone will be enough to deal with. ”

Asuka glared at Ratting menacingly, and it was because of her that Asuka had to go against his will to his companions with the power that distorted the consciousness of others.

"Oh, really?"

Ratting narrowed her eyes to reveal a look of speculation on the bird's face, and then laughed.

"I see. This is a lie. Your eyes are clearly not the eyes of being relied on, but the eyes of self-initiative and responsibility. However, I also like this realization very much. So, I'm not going to see through your lies. Really, one or two are so good, I become half-hearted and don't know who to choose. ”

Lating smiled coquettishly in front of Asuka without any scruples, which really gave Asuka goosebumps.

Although he said a big thing, Asuka didn't really have much certainty, and to put it bluntly, he just made his own decision to stay and break off for his companions.

If one doesn't do well, it may be sacrificed here!

Fortunately, from the other party's tone, it was clear that she had no intention of taking Asuka's life. That's barely good news.

Even if you only have a little time, at least buy time for your companions to escape.

"Everyone, 'Stand still for me!'"

Doing her best to unleash the power of the gift, Asuka thought to herself, this was probably the first time in her life that she had spit out orders with a strong desire to control others.

Ratting's movements stopped, and everyone around them, including the salamanders around her, remained motionless like a game of "one, two, three, wooden man".

Golden opportunity!

Asuka, who was probably the only chance to get it, took out the silver cross sword from his gift card and rushed towards Ratin with all his might.

The eyes are aimed at the heart of the enemy, the heart, the tip of the sword, and the gaze, three points and one line of force.

Even if you count the number of times you have practiced fencing in the past, this is probably the pinnacle of Asuka's life.

"Uh......h Haha, so naïve! ”

Lating directly swung the flute and smashed it on the bird's stomach, one step faster than the bird's movements, and before the sword could stab in front of him, the bird was smashed to the ground.

In an instant, the contents of the internal organs rushed to the throat, mixed with the smell of blood.

With a strong sense of self-esteem, Asuka suppressed the vomiting sensation that came up, and asked the enemy to vomit in embarrassment, but it was an unbearable humiliation for Asuka than defeat.

Rao is like this, and the bird holding his abdomen still shows an expression of refusal to admit defeat.

If it had been Yao, not Asuka, who had rushed forward with his sword just now, he might have been able to successfully hit Latin. It's a pity that Asuka's athleticism and physical fitness are not even half of Yao's. Except for the power of "Weiguang", she is just an ordinary fifteen-year-old girl.
