On the surface of the sea that has calmed down for a while.

"Aono-kun!"

Ryoma Ida exclaimed in surprise from the speedboat.

Even though he saw the familiar figure from a distance, for a while, he didn't dare to recognize him.

It wasn't until Aono himself opened his mouth that he realized that this was the real picture in front of him, not his hysteria or hallucination.

Even if Ida Ryoma knew that Aono was unusual from the beginning, after such a long period of no news, and under such a dangerous sea, the probability of their survival was too low.

Ryoma Ida had a hard time believing that Aono and they could survive.

But the picture that appeared in front of his eyes proved this with facts.

Aono is far more powerful than he imagined!

Ida Ryoma's gaze lingered on the gray stick in Aono's hand - he never thought that in this case, Aono would carry such a heavy thing with him - and the other anomaly was that the bottom of the stick glowed with a strange blood color, and it already took up a third of it!

Just looking at the blood, Ida Ryoma felt a little uneasy in his heart.

As if being watched by some kind of living monster.

'This change is also because of Aono'

Ryoma Ida didn't think about the reason behind this, which may involve Aono's secrets.

It has always been rude to snoop on other people's secrets.

When he saw Rumiko Hino, Ryoma Ida breathed a sigh of relief.

And made sure that she was still the girl he knew, and he had to pull out a knife to help passers-by when he was bullied.

Looking at the humanoid ice cubes floating on the sea at the moment, Ryoma Ida knew.

Until the last moment, Rumiko Hino did not give up on their ideas.

"You're so stupid!"

Taking Rumiko Hino's ice-covered body from Aono's hand, Ryoma Ida muttered in his heart.

"But occasionally, it's cute."

Thoughts drifted to a long time ago, and Ryoma Ida quickly shook his head.

It's not about these children's personal affairs now.

Hurry up and take Aono and them out of here, that's what he should do.

'Wait'

Only then did Ida Ryoma think of what Aono had just said - "They, please leave it to you!" ”

Raising his head, he asked in surprise.

"Aono-kun, aren't you with us"

"Hmm."

Aono nodded, his attitude as it should be.

Although the meat of this big guy is not very tasty, it is no problem to fill the stomach of the black mist, so naturally it cannot be let go easily.

Ida Ryoma could only sigh in his heart.

'Aono-kun, he is really a god! ’

Ordinary people don't have time to escape from this sea quickly, but Aono doesn't want to leave, but chooses to stay here.

But thinking about the gray-white fragments that are still falling around him, that shocking picture comes from the hands of this good-looking man.

It was normal for him to make this choice.

"And Yuki-e-chan?"

Ryoma Ida hesitantly looked at Yukie Kanda, who was beside Aono.

In this dangerous environment, Kanda Yukie, who passed out in a coma, has undoubtedly become a burden to Aono, so is it better to let him take it away?

"She"

Aono actually thinks so, too.

Just now, when he tried to let go of his hand, Kanda Yukie unconsciously grabbed his arm, and his hand was very tight, but he said very lightly, "Don't leave me."

It was not easy to forcibly separate her hands.

"I'll take care of it."

Although Aono felt a little troublesome, he could only do this for now.

"Okay."

Since he chose to believe Aono, Ryoma Ida no longer doubts his decision.

Quickly turn the bow of the speedboat and head in the direction it came.

He has to move fast!

It's just because this sea area is moving again.

The pitch-black sea water seemed to be boiling, and it was tumultuous and surging.

Aono can clearly feel the excitement and irritability of the fog lost in the sea.

This is due to the indescribable influence of starfish.

His remaining seven tentacles slammed against the surface of the sea - even if he looked similar to a starfish, he was not a five-pointed appearance like a normal starfish, but a total of eight tentacles, and there were seven left except for the one that was killed by Aono.

It can be seen that under the scales of the upper part, the lower part of the brachiopod is a fine tentacle-like tissue.

Sticky, dense.

With crumpled and ugly lines.

It's like the filaments of fungal organisms, growing in entanglement.

They are distributed in seawater, injecting a special substance into it.

Observing this scene, Ida Ryoma drove more cautiously than before.

If you fall into such a sea water, the end is undoubtedly extremely tragic.

As for the ice tourists who are soaked in the seawater, Ryoma Ida can only silently wish them good luck.

There's only so much he can do now.

Aono unhurriedly carried Kanda Yukie behind him.

The girl hugged him tightly, unwilling to let go, but avoided Aono from sliding off her back while she waited for the next battle.

Lift the blood-glittering gray stick in your hand.

Aono climbed back onto his indescribable body.

The sharp thorn was unwillingly stabbed out again.

This time, it didn't even need Aono to do it himself.

The corrosive sound of "snort-" was immediately heard.

The source is the black fog around Aono.

After comparison, it can be concluded that the black fog at this time is far more dense than before, and the treacherous aura is several times stronger!

However, it is easy to see that it has changed more than the lost fog in the sea.

Let's take an analogy.

It's like a species that evolves from paramecium at the same time, and eventually, one side becomes a tiny ant and the other evolves into a giant dinosaur.

To put it simply, even if the breath comes from the same origin, this black fog has evolved into a fog that is quite different from the Lost Mist under the influence of Aoye.

When you think about it this way, the name is also very meaningful.

Proving the difference between it and the Lost Mist.

An opportunity for the black fog to happen again.

It was in his body that countless flesh and blood entangled, attacking Aono, and the black mist showed its devouring ability of the same origin as Aono.

Feast.

The wind swept the clouds.

Even the eating appearance is quite similar to Aono.

The kind that refuses to waste a single drop.

The part that is devoured is partly turned into Aono's experience points and attribute points.

On the other hand, it also adds a lot of proficiency to the supernatural skills.

At that time, Aono was in front of him.

Such a prompt swipes the screen like crazy until—

This is the first time Aono has seen such a long introduction to transcendent skills.

It is also Aono's first transcendent skill to break through LV3, due to the need to use "Take! It is still stuck at lv2, and it is still a certain distance away from lv3.

The introduction of such a large number of words is enough to show the power of the black fog.

Now, Aono only needs to spread the black mist around his body to fend off physical attacks from Him.

This is also the reason why Aono dares to take Kanda Yukie with him.

'Greed? ’

'Brutal? ’

Aono silently stared at the two words on the panel, feeling that these adjectives couldn't be placed on him at all.

He is obviously a kind and pure young man.

Slander! It must be slander!

There is something to say about the many unspeakable things that have been eaten! To them, Qingye is really a cruel and greedy creature.

The panel was obviously not very hard, and under Aono's gaze, he silently replaced these two words with "ability".

Aono nodded in satisfaction.

But it's still a small complaint.

How do you feel that the extraordinary skills he has acquired are not very serious?

What "hypnosis", "mind control", and this "black fog", always feels like that kind of villain has it.

It's just "Wu!" "It's pretty normal.

Thinking of these things in his heart, Aono re-entered his body.

After the black mist "slaughtered all directions" here, he seemed to have learned wisely, and no longer let the flesh and blood in his body come up to "send him to death", which could only temporarily delay Qingye's progress.

Or procrastinate for a short time.

It is worth mentioning.

This indescribable body has large and small blood vessels - a tissue that real starfish does not have.

Inside the blood vessels, purple-black blood flows.

The real culprit of the wrist and foot that was about to fall quickly turned gray and white was actually

Unknown skeleton in Aono's hand.

The blood-colored glow that flowed from it was even stronger.

The emotions of longing are clearly conveyed through the skin that comes into contact with Aono.

"Want to suck?"

"So, let you suck it up!"

Aono smiled.

————————

"That person, what did you do?"

High in the air, Ayaka Hino couldn't help but ask.

Even though she knew, there was no one here who could answer her questions.

"How can one man push him to such a point?"

Ayumi Takashima glanced at the sea and felt nothing but absurdity and incredulity.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the indescribable state at this time is far more crazy than before.

It seems to be a boss in the game, and the previous rampage was only one stage of him, and now he has reached the second stage of rage.

He was trying to kill that little bug at all costs.

His emotions, in addition to anger, are also a touch of fear that ordinary people can't feel.

It's just because the other party has the means to really destroy Him.

To put it more bluntly, it is-

- He's in a hurry, he's in a hurry!

The way the brachiopod was destroyed was too weird.

The damage dealt was not much different from the three swords that the swordsman swung with all his might.

And according to Hino Ayaka's description, the unknown person does not seem to have lost his combat effectiveness, but has returned to his body.

Based on this alone, it can be judged that his strength may not be below that of a swordsman.

But it turns out that there are still such powerful transcendents in Japan?

Why hadn't they heard of it before?

"Me"

Just when Ayaka Hino was struggling to support and speculated about the identity of that person with Ayumi Takashima.

He sat on the ground all the time, silent, like a swordsman who had passed away, and slowly spit out a word.

"Swordsman You"

Ayaka Hino immediately looked at him with concern, and he undoubtedly suffered a huge blow when his sword was broken.

Being able to speak now is undoubtedly a good performance.

"I still have a sword."

The swordsman opened his eyes and said seriously.

Although those eyes were dull and dim, there was a firmness in the words that could not be denied.

"But your sword"

Ayumi Takashima is full of doubts and unease.

"Who says you can't wield a sword without a sword?"

The swordsman said things that went against common sense.

If you don't even have a sword, how can you swing it?

But none of them asked this question.

With what they knew about swordsmen, he would never lie about such a thing.

But Hino had a vague guess as to what this last sword was—it must have been a sword that burned all the energy of the swordsman, or maybe he was the sword himself.

Time goes by.

Until Ayaka Hino finally couldn't bear the pressure of the sea, she lifted the barrier, and the waves spread away.

Fortunately, the tourists were already evacuated by members of the Tokyo Rangers.

From a distance, you will only think that it is a tsunami, but you will not see this giant unspeakable shape.

It's the only good thing.

And the figure that was given high hopes, after getting in, didn't seem to have caused any change.

Even the scales of the super starfish that had been cut by the swordsman began to slowly repair.

Did he fail? ’

Ayaka Hino couldn't help but prepare for the worst.

If it drags on any longer

Maybe they won't even be able to grasp the final chance of victory!

The swordsman stood up, his half-broken sword in his hand.

"The Three Swordsmen have four swords, shouldn't this be common sense?"

He uttered an untimely joke, and was about to split the last sword of his life, and then lay to rest at the bottom of the sea with the old fellow.

"Look!"

At the sound of Ayumi Takashima, the swordsman looked down.

Gray and white colors began to occupy his field of vision.

And spread rapidly.

Only this time, it's no longer just a tentacle, but a whole indescribable.

His struggles, his churning, and his petrification came to a halt.

From the inside of His body, then the seven brachiopods, and then the broken eyeball.

Everything about Him is losing its life and being sucked away by something even more terrible.

Like

An off-white flower blooming on the sea!

Is it beautiful?

It's beautiful!

Blue sky, dark water, gray wreckage.

The graphics have a thrilling impact.

But even if it's just a wreckage, just staring at Him for a while will make people feel chills in their hearts, and distorted and ominous things will creep into their brains.

"It seems that I don't need to use this sword."

The swordsman said, a little regret in his tone.

In that body, they saw.

A small figure crawled out of it and began to walk towards the eye, which had not completely changed color
