The impact shook his internal organs. Rota felt so uncomfortable that he almost vomited.
But he didn't have to worry about vomiting all over the floor, because Seiji raised his hand and grabbed his neck!
"Wuuuuuuuuuuuu …"
Rota found it difficult to breathe. He also felt that he was rapidly losing all of his energy. His entire body felt cold, numb, and painful.
Why …
As his consciousness blurred, he felt something cold and sharp piercing through him. The pain was so intense that it exceeded his limits, and he fell into darkness.
At the same time that he killed the members of The Revenge Alliance, Seiji also killed the participants from 7321.
Leave them to deal with Kanzaki together?
It was good to have everyone happily fight the demon king together, but even if they were willing to do that, what use could those who had been beaten to the point where they had no strength left to fight?
It was better to get rid of those who could deal the finishing blow and absorb more of the black fog to strengthen his mysterious power.
As for those who still had strength left after fighting for so long, let's ignore them for now.
Of all the remaining members, the most important person to pay attention to was doubtlessly Shigure!
Even if this "Heavenly Axiom" didn't show any of his strength, Seiji didn't plan to finish him off. God knows if he would trigger the berserk state like the one in the previous eye.
Although he might be able to defeat the Heavenly Dao of Berserk with his mystical power, he would definitely use up some of his energy, which wouldn't be beneficial to him in dealing with Kanzaki.
…
With the help of Little Shi and the others, Seiji went on a killing spree and defeated everyone!
Realizing that they couldn't win, some of the Revenge Alliance members fled.
The remaining 7321 participants also left the scene and gathered at a spot in the back. They were probably trying to reorganize their forces.
Seiji, who was keeping track of both sides' movements through the map, chose to rest with his companions.
Would Kanzaki take action next?
If he made a move, it would be a decisive battle.
If he was curious about this mysterious power and wanted to test it out, there was still time.
If he had the time, Seiji wanted to have a chat with the 7321 faction's participants, who had reorganized themselves. He wanted to work together to fight against the demon king.
It was a good thing to be able to fight for it. Even if it was just a little help, it was better than nothing. And if he couldn't get it, then so be it.
There were also the participants who were judged to have lost.
What would happen to them in the future? Would they be able to successfully leave the domain?
The ghostly shadow attack and the shroud of black fog seemed to be related to the Life-Saving Talisman. After the Life-Protecting Talisman was used up, he should not encounter such danger again, but it was hard to say.
I hope they can leave safely.
At the same time, Seiji actually felt that it was unlikely.
Unless this domain was removed, no one would be able to leave … This was the most likely scenario.
As for the people outside, they might not be able to enter, or they might be able to enter, but they didn't intend to. They would stay outside and observe the situation.
It was impossible to expect reinforcements from the outside … In the end, the current situation was probably what the people outside wanted to see.
Kanzaki had brought death to this ritual. The ones who had prepared the stage and allowed the former to put on such a show were the organizers and the relevant factions.
He didn't know how deep the waters were.
Seiji himself might also be a chess piece. Back when Yui had given him a card to participate in the tournament, she had said "because it would be beneficial to me." Now that he thought about it, perhaps there was a deeper meaning to that.
'Just what are you scheming, Yui?
…
The night wind blew, blowing the beautiful girl's hair.
The black-haired and black-clothed Yui quietly stood there and looked down at the scene below. Her eyes seemed to be shining with a sharp light as if she had melded into the night.
"The monitoring numbers are fluctuating violently. It would seem that they're about to reach the next stage," the blonde boy reported.
"Yeah," the girl responded calmly.
"Are we going to investigate?"
"No, let's wait a little longer."
"That person's chances of getting into danger will greatly increase. Will that be alright?"
"It's fine."
This wasn't heartlessness. This was trust.
The blonde boy could tell that Grand Mistress trusted that Seiji was strong enough that nothing bad would happen to him due to such a small amount of danger.
Only such a short time had passed … Seiji's growth rate was far too fast!
Should he say that it was to be expected of Grand Mistress's younger brother?
The blonde boy thought back to the first time he met Seiji and sighed emotionally. He then continued focusing on his work.
…
Seiji sensed that the remaining Revenge Alliance members had all been judged to have failed and turned into grayish-brown … which meant that they were now ghost-possessed individuals!
It would seem that Kanzaki had determined that the defeated Revenge Alliance members were no longer of any value, so he transformed them all into puppets!
This was truly the style of the Messengers.
The mist in the surroundings became even denser, to the point that Seiji couldn't see more than twenty meters with his [Astral Vision]. There were also many cluster amaryllis flowers sprouting from the ground, forming a blood-red cluster of flowers.
The most noteworthy change was that a red moon appeared in the sky!
Seiji was unable to see anything more than several dozen meters away, yet he could see this red moon. It was obvious that this wasn't a real moon at all.
Seiji recalled the time when he and Miyuki Sakuraku had conquered the Blood Moon Mountain together. He felt that the current atmosphere was rather similar to that Inner World.
Would this place become a Spirit World like that if it continued to develop?
If it really became a high-level Spirit World similar to the Blood Moon Mountain, it would doubtlessly be incredibly dangerous.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Kanna looked at the deep darkness after seeing the red moon. "I feel like I'm watching a horror movie. Something scary is about to appear."
"I feel the same way as well." Izawa agreed. "A false red moon. I don't know what sort of thick mist it's hiding. It feels really ominous."
Right after Izawa said this, faint strange noises came from the mist.
Everyone instinctively didn't want to leave the house in such a situation. However, this wasn't a horror game. Staying in the house wouldn't necessarily be safe. Instead, they should hurry up and take action.
"Let's go," Seiji said.
"Where to?"
"To find the remaining survivors."
This was naturally referring to the remaining 7321 faction tournament participants.
It would be too late if they didn't go find them now. Seiji had such a feeling.
The four of them set off and entered the thick mist.
Not long after, they heard strange noises that sounded like sighs and wails again. This time, the noises were much clearer, as if they were coming from nearby.
"Be careful …"
Seiji reminded his companions to be on high alert. Right after he said this, several dark-red ghostly figures suddenly swooped down from above!
* Boom! * Seiji punched with his right fist, shattering one and absorbing it.
Little Shi dodged the attack and counterattacked with her sword. Her sword sliced through a ghostly figure, but she was unable to cut through it.
Izawa protected Kanna and managed to dodge the attack.
These ghostly figures disappeared into the mist behind them. The next second, several more attacked them from the right!
They attacked from the left, then from the left, then from above, then from the front, and then from the back … These ghostly figures continuously attacked Seiji and the others from all directions. They were quite threatening.
Seiji's right fist was able to easily destroy these ghostly figures. However, Little Shi, Izawa, and Kanna's counterattacks weren't very effective. Not only that, there seemed to be quite a large number of these ghostly figures. They were able to continuously attack.
