"Miss Sakura, you want me to use that to deal with the demons behind us?" Seiji's gaze focused slightly.
"Yep, that's why I invited you here with me," Miyuki told him honestly.
So that was how it was …
"Thank you for your expectations. I hope that I won't disappoint Sakuraku-san."
"As long as you perform the same as last time, I definitely won't be disappointed."
The two of them continued forward.
Seiji continued to clear the monsters with the Songstress's buff, keeping his guard up against the Blood Moon debuff that could appear at any time.
In order to avoid falling into a dangerous situation due to the curse suddenly taking effect, he had to be cautious. However, the debuff didn't appear. Thinking that the big boss's barrier had a protective effect, he asked.
"My barrier doesn't have the ability to resist against the Blood Moon's curse. Harano-kun, you're still fine even now because of yourself," Miyuki told him. "As expected of someone with such power, Mister Knight."
Seiji was silent.
His resistance to the blood moon is high because of White Calamity?
He didn't think so. However, this meant that Miyuki believed that White Calamity's power was a high-level curse power. Miyuki believed that White Calamity possessed the ability to control high-level curses.
This must be a misunderstanding … right?
Seiji couldn't clarify.
Miyuki didn't intend to understand either. She simply wanted to make use of this power.
"Miss Sakura, what about you? Were you cursed?"
"Not yet. I have a way to deal with it. Don't worry. "
After advancing for a while, Miyuki suddenly noticed something. She looked upwards and saw a gigantic shadow rapidly approaching her!
Right when the idol girl wanted to pull the boy to the back like she did before, she saw the boy suddenly withdraw from the group of monsters and retreat at full speed.
Boom!!!
Seiji's shadow landed, but he missed … no, he smashed several demons into smithereens.
He dodged fast enough this time.
Seiji, who had retreated to the rear, watched as Miyuki went up against the bat-like boss monster. He thought that he would finally be able to witness a boss monster's battle.
However, the next second, the bat monster emitted a dense dark gray mist … Why were all of them like this!?
He couldn't see through the fog. Just like the centipede monster, he could only hear the sound.
Are all the high-level monsters in this dungeon like this? The first thing he did was fart … whoops, release demonic mist. He didn't even give low-level players a chance to observe.
I feel like I can't play happily anymore. Seiji was a little depressed.
The ghosts and monsters surrounded him and began to play the ghost game of capturing people again.
…
The third, fourth, and fifth boss monsters also released demonic mist as soon as they appeared. Seiji was completely unable to see how Miyuki dealt with them.
It was good to be able to run a high-level Dungeon and accumulate experience in Ghost Hunt Guerrilla Warfare. However, it was quite frustrating to not be able to see high-level players fight.
After such a long time, both of them were starting to show signs of fatigue.
"The next one should be the last one. Harano-kun, can you still do it?"
"Of course, where is Miss Sakuraku?"
"I'm a little tired. I'd like to have Mr. Knight take care of the rest while I sing a song by the side." Miyuki chuckled.
Pushing the final and most difficult Boss over, how ruthless. The corner of Seiji's mouth twitched.
But this was what they had agreed on earlier. Since the other party had made such arrangements, it was only natural that they had the confidence to do so.
"I'd be happy to be of service, and I'll do my best … but if I can't meet your expectations, please lend me a hand."
"Saying such discouraging words will cause you to lose points."
"I believe that self-awareness is a plus," Seiji said with a serious expression.
Miyuki chuckled at his expression.
"I like Harano-kun even more now, so don't worry. I won't let you die."
The two of them followed the path up the mountain. They didn't meet any more ghosts. The higher they went, the more they could sense a faint aura and smell the scent of blood.
Seiji felt that this was rather familiar.
He had a premonition of what the final boss monster would be up there, and began to look forward to it.
Memories of the past appeared in his mind, causing his emotions to become even more excited. Hot blood began to surge within his body.
They finally reached the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain was an incredibly wide platform. There were no trees at all. It was completely flat ground. Under the illumination of the blood moon, the ground seemed to be dyed red by blood.
There was a tall stone chair in the center of the platform. It seemed to have been carved out of a single boulder. It seemed like a throne … no, it was a throne!
That was because there was a gigantic demon sitting on the stone chair. It had a vicious expression, crimson hair, and long horns.
There was a large wine gourd to the right of the stone chair, and a large blood-red axe to the left.
The "King of One Hundred Demons", Shutendoji!
This demon was almost identical to the one that Seiji had fought against in the past.
"As expected … is it you?" Seiji muttered to himself as he looked at the demon.
The demon's eyes were closed, as if it was in a deep sleep.
"You've seen it before?" Miyuki asked.
"… I'm not sure. It looks quite similar …" Seiji paused for a moment. "Just how are the demons in the Inner Worlds formed?"
"I'm unable to answer that question."
"Do you not know, or do you know but are unable to answer?"
Miyuki smiled without saying anything.
Seiji glanced at her, and then looked at Shutendoji. He then speedily cast a spell, even using his Yin-Yang Seal, Dharma Body, and Dharma Eyes. He no longer held back.
At this moment, Shutendoji seemed to sense something. He slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of fierce blood-red eyes.
"Grrr!!!"
Shutendoji let out a deafening roar, causing blood-red mist to appear all around him. Large numbers of demons appeared both on the ground and in the sky …
Miyuki started singing!
She was still singing "Ethereal Snow". The moment she started singing, she stopped the mist from spreading and froze all the demons in place.
While Shutendoji was competing with the enemy demons in singing … whoops, controlling the battlefield, Seiji kept using his [Power of Transcendence] to strengthen the [White Calamity] that he had kept in reserve until now.
Shutendoji stood up and picked up his wine gourd in one hand and his axe in the other.
Seiji had the pure white humanoid spirit form that he created attach to himself.
Shutendoji raised his axe and the wine gourd.
"Your figure is becoming hazy. My memories are turning black and white …" His singing echoed under the blood moon, dispelling the mist and destroying the demons.
The demon and Shutendoji simultaneously attacked!
There was a flash of blood-red light! There was a flash of a golden sword!
Demons and humans, song and moon, the past and the present, all mixed together in the form of a fierce battle.
'Light-chan, before you left, you told me that I would become strong.
'Although I'm still not very strong, I'm at least somewhat strong.'
Seiji didn't know if Shutendoji was still the same Shutendoji from back then. It would be great if he was, but it didn't matter if he wasn't.
'If you can see it, then just watch … I'll win!'
Seiji recalled that battle and saluted his comrade from back then as he did his best to deal with the demon before him.
The King of One Hundred Demons was incredibly strong. It was overwhelmingly strong in all aspects! Seiji was only able to fight against it with his [Power of Transcendence].
He used all of his spells, martial arts techniques, Yin-Yang Seal, and other abilities. He was completely focused on this battle! It felt great!!
The blood-red figure and the gold-white figure fiercely fought against each other, sometimes clashing and sometimes separating. The shockwaves from their fierce battle even shattered the demon throne into pieces.
[Dragon Counterattack]!
The golden divine dragon shattered the large wine gourd.
[Demon Suppression Bell]!
The golden bell crushed the blood-red axe.
The demon king roared after losing its weapon. It prostrated itself on all fours and grew claws. Runes appeared all over its body, and its long hair started glowing as it transformed into its vicious beast form. Its aura increased even further!!
"Excellent! Come again!! "Seiji flashed a hot-blooded and fearless smile.
The ferocious ghost pounced on him, swift as lightning.
Seiji parried it with his sword. His sword flashed.
"It's just a coincidence that we met. It's better to never meet again ~ Have you ever heard the sound of the falling snow …" Miyuki reached the second climax of her song.
It was almost over.
Seiji didn't lose his rationality despite the hot-blooded battle. He was still calm inside.
