A hallucination?
No!
Seiji steeled his mind. When he woke up, he discovered that the demons were now covered in white ice and snow!
This ice and snow swiftly spread to the demons' bodies as she sang. When Miyuki reached the climax of her first verse, the ice and snow completely enveloped them.
"The snow falls without a sound, and the beauty is like a dream. When it fades away, it's getting further and further away …"
When the first verse of her song ended, all the demons let out a crackling sound that sounded like glass shattering! They then transformed into a thick red mist that gathered on Miyuki's body … no, on her right hand!
She absorbed the mist … and in a different form than Tomohisa and Mika.
"Wonderful," Seiji praised as he observed. "As expected of an idol singer, using your voice to vanquish demons."
"I did this especially for you, Harano-kun," Miyuki said with a smile. "Actually, this is quite taxing. I can't do this often."
"I have a deep impression. Thank you for your performance."
"No need to be so polite. I intend to have you work harder in the future as repayment."
Seiji was rendered speechless.
The two of them continued walking forward.
When they met another demon, Seiji unsheathed his sword and fought against them.
Right after that, he discovered that a barrier had appeared around him. This barrier could block the demons' attacks and counterattack. It was incredibly powerful!
This was obviously one of Miyuki's spells. With this, it became much easier for him to deal with the demons.
However, after fighting for a while, Seiji discovered that almost all the demons were charging towards him while ignoring Miyuki. He instantly realized that this barrier also had a taunting effect.
He was being used as a meat shield … so this was what "have you work harder" meant.
He thought that Miyuki was being kind enough to lead the team, but he ended up being used instead. Seiji had a rather subtle feeling about this.
But it was fine. After all, Miyuki was an idol singer. If he led the charge, his image would be distorted. It would be more appropriate for him to be a rearguard with a buff.
Speaking of the female singers in the anime, Seiji first thought of the female singers in the anime. The ones who would jump around and sing to encourage the pilots of the fighter jets that could transform into robots to fight to their deaths. At first, their songs were mainly romantic, but then they became hot-blooded, and then they became demonic. It seemed like they were developing more and more in the direction of demons …
Cough, I got distracted.
In short, Muse characters were basically singing for buffs or special abilities. They were usually support, but there were also Warriors.
As for Miyuki Sakuraku, Seiji had no way of knowing if she was a support, a mage, or a warrior. At any rate, he was currently unable to defeat her.
Not to mention anything else, just her singing of "Flashy Snow" was enough to get him hooked. If she made him her target, he would probably end up like those ghosts.
By "specially showing off", he was directly showing off the strength of a bigshot.
With the help of the high-level singers, the low-level Warriors continued to clear out the big monsters, and they gradually became numb to it.
However, after encountering a terrifying monster, Seiji instantly recognized his own strength.
It was a centipede.
A hundred-meter-long centipede monster! It had a vicious head, many joints on its body, and many sharp legs. Its entire body was covered in strange blood-red runes. It had a strong visual impact. Any ordinary person would definitely faint from fear, especially those with trypophobia.
The moment it appeared, it spat out a large area of dark-green mist. Just as Seiji sensed danger, he was suddenly pulled back by a force.
"Don't come over! Let me deal with it!! "Only then did he hear Miyuki shouting. Her voice was obviously nervous.
Right after that, there was the loud sound of cars crashing into each other, followed by all sorts of noises. It was evident that a fierce battle had begun.
Seiji did his best to observe, but his [Astral Vision] was unable to even see through this mist.
Suddenly, a blood-red light with a terrifying aura swept out from the mist!
[Bullet Time], activate!
At this critical moment, Seiji did his best to dodge.
However, the blood-red light had a large area of effect. It was difficult for him to completely dodge.
[Emergency Dodge], activate!!
The third ability of Mika's card was also activated. He instantly teleported a short distance in the direction of the dodge, successfully dodging the blood-red light.
However …
* Boom!!! *
Miyuki's barrier and his own personal barrier both collapsed. Seiji was sent flying far away, breaking many tree branches before finally crashing into the trunk of a large tree.
'So painful …' Seiji slid down to the ground, feeling like he was about to vomit blood.
He was injured so badly just by being affected by the shockwave.
If he had been directly hit … it would have been unimaginable.
That giant centipede was far too powerful! Compared to this centipede, all the Inner World spiritual monsters he had met before were nothing more than trash.
By the way, shouldn't spiritual monsters have levels, such as wolf, tiger, demon, and so on?
As he thought of this, Seiji crawled back up to his feet and observed the battlefield.
It would be better for him not to get too close before the battle ended. However …
Seiji could only sigh when he saw the demons in the forest approaching him.
Even being a bystander in a high-level dungeon wouldn't be easy.
…
The battle continued for quite a while.
Seiji wandered around the forest, prioritizing his own safety. He did his best not to get surrounded.
Even so, he was under great pressure. After all, there were many demons, and they were all powerful.
There were several times where he even wanted to use his item.
It would have been easier if he used his item, but he still endured it. He treated this as a rare opportunity for combat training.
While fighting as a guerrilla, Seiji also paid attention to the main battle in the distance.
However, he couldn't see anything because the mist was constantly present. He could only hear continuous sounds and occasionally see flashes of light.
'Am I going to have to fight for an hour?'
Seiji resolved himself to fight for even longer. At this moment, he suddenly heard a piercing screech. It sounded like the centipede monster was screaming.
He turned around and saw a silver-white explosion that dispelled the dark-green mist.
It was obvious that the centipede monster had transformed into a dense, liquid-like blood mist that was gathering towards the dog-head girl.
'The big boss is finally done fighting …' Seiji dodged the demon's attack and ran towards the dog-head girl.
"Sakuraku-san, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. How about you?" Miyuki looked at him.
"As you can see, I'm in a bad situation." Seiji smiled wryly and gestured towards the large group of demons chasing after him. "Could I trouble you for a moment?"
Miyuki raised her hand and buffed him.
Seiji turned around to face the group of demons and happily raised his sword.
'Chop chop chop chop chop …'
'All done!'
"My apologies for making you wait for so long."
"It's alright. It's good that you're alright, Sakuraku-san." Seiji chuckled. "Although it was rather tiring, I obtained good experience."
"Did you use the same power as last time?" Miyuki asked.
The same power as last time? Seiji guessed that she was talking about the [White Calamity] skill.
"No." That skill had a time limit. It could only be used for a short period of time.
"You intentionally held back in order to train yourself?"
"Yes."
