Let's rewind time a little.
What should he do next? The reorganized Blood War Alliance faced this problem.
Nobuhiko Kurosaki, who had replaced Natsuki Shuurin as the team leader, seemed to be thinking things over on the surface. However, he had actually lost all will to fight.
Many people had died in the battle just now, and even he himself had almost died.
If it weren't for Haruta Seiji and the others who had barged into the battlefield, they would have been utterly defeated by the enemy, and everyone would have been killed.
And Haruta Seiji and his people were not allies.
They belonged to the Blue Team faction. Although they prioritized dealing with the members of the Revenge Alliance when they charged into the battlefield, they did not miss the opportunity to deal the finishing blows to the members of the Red Team faction.
He did not know why Haruta Seiji had the power to restrain the black fog … Judging from the results, the survivors of the Bloodwar were all saved by him. To put it in a big way, it was a life-saving grace. To put it in a small way, it was a favor that could not be ignored.
At the very least, Nobuhiko Kurosaki was grateful towards Haruta Seiji. When he was in a desperate situation, the enemy was defeated by the intruder. At that moment, he felt that the other party was an angel.
However, there were also people who believed that Haruta Seiji and The Revenge Alliance were birds of a feather, such as Masao Yanagi.
The origin of that strange power was unknown. Although Haruta Seiji didn't kill anyone, he was essentially no different from the guys in The Revenge League. They all relied on strange external forces to win … Liu Sheng believed so.
This opinion could not be said to be wrong. From a team perspective, Haruta Seiji was someone they had to defeat, so it might be better to accept this opinion.
But before that, he first had to deal with the threat of the Revenge Alliance.
With such power, Haruta Seiji was the nemesis of the Avengers. However, it was impossible for him to defeat all the members of the Avengers by himself, because the Avengers would always escape.
If the Bloodbath side wanted to defeat the Avengers, they would have to borrow the power of Haruta Seiji. For the sake of victory, the latter wouldn't go all out to defeat the Vengeance Faction. Instead, they would make the Vengeance Faction and the Bloodbattle Faction both suffer heavy losses.
What should he do in this situation? Cooperate with Haruta Seiji and deal with The Revenge League together? Or should he avoid the battle and let Haruta Seiji fight with The Revenge Alliance until the end?
Nobuhiko Kurosaki didn't want to choose either. He wanted to admit defeat and leave this damned place as soon as possible.
Previously, he would have died if he surrendered, but now he knew that as long as Haruta Seiji was around, he would not be sucked dry by the black fog. Therefore, if he wanted to surrender safely, he just had to find him.
However, after admitting defeat, would he be able to leave this place smoothly?
The Bloodwine Spirit forbade participants from communicating with the losers, so it was unknown whether or not those who had lost but were still alive had safely left.
Nobuhiko hoped that he would be able to leave this place safely, but logic … or perhaps his pessimism caused by his mental trauma told him that he wouldn't be able to leave this place.
The strange mist, cruel enemies, cruel deaths, and blooming spider lilies … It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this was hell. It was impossible to imagine that he would be able to leave easily.
Those who were physically and mentally exhausted fell into silence, while those who were still energetic argued over what to do. The atmosphere was rather bad.
Then the fog thickened.
A cluster of spider lilies sprouted, a red full moon appeared, and a terrifying, strange sound rang out … A large number of ghostly figures attacked!
Unable to defend against such a ferocious surprise attack, the scene quickly became chaotic.
Shigure Tendo used his sword to protect Keimi Umetani.
The dark-red ghostly figures that everyone else found difficult to deal with were easily destroyed by Shigure with a single swing of his sword. He sliced through as many as he could, displaying his high level of skill in swordsmanship.
However, there was a limit to one's strength, while the ghostly figures seemed endless.
"Let's go, Umetani-san," Shigure said after he activated the enemy's senses.
"Where to, Lord Shigure?" Keimi asked.
"To find Haruta Seiji."
"Are we going to fight him?"
"No, we're going to cooperate with him."
Keimi meekly obeyed Shigure's orders.
Her life had been protected by Shigure. No matter what choice he made, she would follow him.
The two of them immediately left the group and entered the thick mist.
"Tendo-san, where are you going!?" Nobuhiko Kurosaki used a spell to ask.
Shigure replied. Nobuhiko fell silent for a moment.
With the situation like this, he didn't know what would happen next. Cooperating with Haruta Seiji as soon as possible was indeed the wisest choice!
"Please wait a moment, I'm going as well!" Nobuhiko soon understood and decided to go together with Shigure.
At this moment, some people were invaded by ghostly figures and became possessed. The situation became even more chaotic.
As the team leader, Nobuhiko gave up on cleaning up the situation. That was because there was no way to clean up the situation.
"We're going to find Haruta Seiji!"
Nobuhiko sent this message to everyone. Then, he ignored everything else and chased after Shigure Tendo together with his Spirit-branded Retainer.
Haruta Seiji wasn't very far away from Shigure. In fact, he was still approaching Nobuhiko.
Why did he come over? Did he want to fight or cooperate?
Nobuhiko sincerely hoped that it was the latter.
Shigure Tendo silently advanced as his longsword flashed with a white glow. Every time a ghostly figure attacked him, Shigure would swing his sword in a fierce manner.
Killing Haruta Seiji was his father's order.
Shigure didn't care much about this order. He would do it if he could, but he would give up if he couldn't.
His older brother had been killed by Haruta Seiji's older sister. People would die eventually. His older brother had merely died slightly earlier than everyone expected. That was all.
In order to protect Keimi Umetani as much as possible, Shigure needed to cooperate with Haruta Seiji. Shigure didn't reject this at all.
He had promised to do his best to protect her. He was simply keeping his promise.
Shigure gradually approached Haruta Seiji's location.
Shigure then saw a faint grayish-white barrier. Haruta Seiji and his three companions were inside this barrier.
The ghostly figures that flew towards Haruta Seiji and his three companions shattered and vanished the moment they touched the barrier!
They would be safe inside that barrier … as expected, it was necessary to cooperate with them.
The problem was how to negotiate.
Just as Nobuhiko Kurosaki was considering what to say, Shigure spoke up first.
"Haruta Seiji, please protect us."
Shigure's direct request!
"What's in it for me, Shigure Tendo?" Seiji asked.
"We'll fight for your sake. You protect our lives, and we'll assist you in obtaining victory, "Shigure stated.
His tone was so calm that it didn't seem like he was negotiating at all. It was more like he was talking about something completely trivial.
"I'm unable to guarantee your survival. I can only promise that I'll do my best."
"Fine."
"Deal."
After reaching an agreement, Shigure unhesitatingly entered the grayish-white barrier together with Keimi.
The negotiation was completed just like that!?
Nobuhiko, who witnessed this scene, was rendered speechless. He wanted to comment but didn't know what to say.
"We'll fight for your sake as well and help you obtain victory!" Seiji Mukai finally regained his senses and made the same promise as Shigure.
Seiji also had this Kurosaki Family member and his Spirit-branded Retainer enter the barrier. He then made a clear promise to everyone that he would protect anyone who agreed to the same thing. Sorry if anyone didn't want to.
Very few people were hesitant about this.
The ghostly figures that kept attacking them and the possessed people were far too difficult to deal with. It was impossible to hold on! Right now, the most important thing to do was to survive. There was no need to even think about obtaining victory.
Seiji was inwardly thankful to Shigure Tendo for giving him such a good start. Now that he had successfully obtained a group of "underlings", Seiji was thankful to Shigure Tendo for giving him such a good start.
No matter if these people were sincere or not, Seiji would still be taking them to fight against the demon king …
