The red mist barrier blocked the icy white mist, but the white mist was frozen along with the red mist! This instantly slowed down the demon's movements.
Seiji still needed one last attack.
Seiji raised his hand and aimed at the target. He gathered his Mana and swiftly prepared to cast a spell …
[Evolved Mana Bullet]!
* Boom!! * A powerful bullet of light with a golden glow struck the red mist and exploded in a dazzling display.
A hole was pierced through the red mist barrier. The white mist poured in and speedily froze the six-armed humanoid's gigantic body.
"Gaaaahhhh!!!"
This demon let out a raspy sound similar to the gorilla monster from before. It struggled with all its might, but was gradually sealed in ice.
In the end, Shika Kagura used [Ice Crush] to destroy it.
"Thank you for your hard work, both of you. The number and strength of the demons in the next area will increase even further. Will this work? "Kazuko asked.
Seiji and Little Shi exchanged glances.
"It should work."
"If you think it's impossible, just tell me immediately."
"Yeah."
...
Summer Night quietly waited as she observed the black crack on the ground.
Although she was here as backup, her true job was to keep an eye on Kazuko.
She had no idea what Kazuko Ooike was. It was impossible to determine whether or not she was trustworthy.
Seiji chose to believe in Kazuko. However, he also understood the risks of this trust. If it wasn't for the fact that Shika Kagura insisted on following him, he would have entered Kazuko's domain by himself.
If anything seemed off, Summer Night would immediately interfere … but she wasn't sure if she would be able to do so.
This type of domain ability was equivalent to a top-level spatial spell! It was a frightening power.
Just what type of experiment was that? Just what type of existence did Kazufuru Ooike combine with?
If he reported this to his family, his family would definitely react.
Summer Night didn't intend to report this. Apart from the fact that Kazufuru Ooike was her and Seiji's classmate, she also faintly felt that if her family acted against Kazuko Ooike, they might suffer severe losses.
To be honest, in the face of such a powerful existence of unknown origin, the reason she could remain calm was largely because of Seiji.
Although Kazuko Ooike was quite mysterious, Summer Night didn't believe that she was any more abnormal than Seiji. If something really did happen, Seiji should be able to deal with it … she had this feeling.
Rationally speaking, this was blind faith. Emotionally, it was a sense of security.
This feeling was born from the duel with Akira Mitarai.
Seiji would be able to solve anything, and she would be fine as long as she was by his side … Summer Night knew that this was an unreasonable feeling, but she couldn't get rid of this feeling in her heart.
In the end, she was just a young girl … a young girl in love.
She would feel safe around the boy she liked and would involuntarily rely on him … Perhaps not all girls were like this, but Grand Mistress of Wanhua seemed to be such a person.
At any rate, Natsuya believed in Seiji, which was why she was able to wait patiently.
Within the Domain.
"Why does Harano-kun trust me?"
Kazuko suddenly asked this question after clearing out yet another area of demons.
"Hmm?" Seiji looked at her.
"Actually entering this place, you already know how dangerous this place is. And, this entire Domain is under my control." Kazuko looked directly at him. "As long as I want to, I can harm you … Why are you still acting like you're not afraid at all?"
"Because you have no reason to harm us."
"It's not without reason. Kazufuru Ooike once hated you."
"You yourself said 'once,' so he's already let go of this matter."
"Perhaps I'll do something to you out of my past hatred … Besides, it's also possible that everything I said was a lie, and that I'm not even Kazufuru Ooike's soul personality, but some sort of demon that took over his body and memories, isn't that so?"
"That's true. If that's really the case, then I mistakenly trusted you." Seiji looked directly at her. "But, I still believe that I didn't see wrongly, and that you weren't lying."
"So, you're actually quite confident in your own judgment?" Kazuko floated up to him.
"That's not wrong, but to tell the truth …" Seiji paused for a moment. "I'm the one who wants to believe in you."
"Why?"
"I don't know how to explain it myself. Although I don't understand you at all, I still want to believe in you … probably because you're quite cute."
Kazuko paused in surprise for a moment when she heard Seiji suddenly praising her in a joking tone.
Then, she chuckled.
"Harano-kun is such a pervert … no, I should say that he's a perverted idiot!"
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"Although I don't want to admit it, it's hard to refute." Seiji's cheeks twitched.
He couldn't help but recall the time when Hitaka Shuho called him a "pervert" to his face. This current situation was rather similar to that time.
The main reason why he didn't care about anything was because he had the ability to save and load. This was a secret that couldn't be told! In such a situation, it didn't seem inappropriate to describe his behavior as a perverted idiot …
"If you're a perverted idiot, why did you refuse my previous offer?"
"Don't even mention that. Even if I'm a lecherous idiot, there are different types. I'm a pure gentleman! "Seiji put on a serious expression.
Kazuko instantly laughed even louder.
After laughing for a while, she looked directly at his handsome face.
"I'm really starting to like you. Please be friends with me, Harano-kun."
Seiji smiled in response to her sincere request.
"Please take good care of me in the future, Kazuko-san."
After resting, they continued on their adventure.
It was just like playing a dungeon game. Seiji and Little Shi cleared out all the demons in one area after another as they continued down the stairs.
Finally, they fought against a gigantic lycanthrope demon in the school's auditorium!
The lycanthrope demon was capable of changing between human and wolf forms. When in human form, the lycanthrope demon would use both a sword and a heavy hammer to viciously attack. When in wolf form, the lycanthrope demon would charge and breathe, as well as create a large number of smaller demons. The lycanthrope demon was incredibly difficult to deal with.
Seiji and Little Shi fought fiercely against the lycanthrope demon. The lycanthrope demon's protective barrier kept collapsing.
If Seiji fought such a powerful enemy by himself, he would definitely be injured, or even seriously injured.
However, there were two of them, and they were adopted siblings who had excellent teamwork. If one of them was suppressed, the other would immediately help out. That was why even though the battle was dangerous, neither of them was injured.
Not only that, the two of them had improved their teamwork. They didn't even need to communicate with each other to know what the other would do and what they wanted to do.
Shika Kagura felt that it was wonderful to have such a telepathic connection with each other.
As long as she was together with her older brother, even fighting would be fun.
For just a moment, she even wanted this fierce battle to last even longer.
* Whoosh!! *
The monster suddenly spat out a thick blood-red aura that covered a large area like a tidal wave. It was impossible to dodge.
However, Shika Kagura wasn't afraid at all. That was because her adopted older brother's tall figure instantly appeared in front of her.
Reverse curse, "Dragon Counterattack"!
Seiji cast a spell while wielding his sword. Countless tiny spell formations appeared in front of him, blocking and receiving the wolf demon's powerful breath attack. Seiji swung his sword in a circle, transforming it into a golden light that formed into a beautiful divine dragon form …
"Dragon God Devour My Enemy!"
Seiji spoke in a heavy tone as he swung his longsword and counterattacked in the form of a golden divine dragon!!
The dragon's roar shook the air with an extraordinary aura.
Shika Kagura's eyes lit up. Kazuko's eyes also lit up upon seeing this.
* Boom! *
The gigantic divine dragon completely devoured the wolf demon! There was a blinding explosion that seemed like fireworks.
