Even an idiot would know that fighting against a terrifying darkness that could devour him would be far from ideal.
But what about "playing a game?"
Only the heavens knew what game he would be playing. Perhaps it would be even more dangerous!
The silver-haired boy's smile was a sharp contrast to the pitch-black shadow. Even now, the silver-haired boy's smile was still so bright and cheerful, which made it seem even more abnormal.
Seiji discovered that he had been wrong.
Itsuki Kamitani didn't disguise himself. He didn't put on any illusions.
As for why he seemed so harmless, that was because of his "naivety"!
This "naivety" had a seemingly pure side to him, as well as a side that could kill while smiling. He was just like a child. He had a cute and innocent side, as well as a cruel side that would destroy ant nests, dismember insects, and torture small animals to death!
Such a person … it seemed like he had given Kamitani a choice, but he actually had no choice.
"Earlier, you asked me why I chose green tea. I didn't answer," Seiji spoke calmly. "Do you still want to know?"
"Of course I do. Why?"
"First, take a closer look at the label on the juice bottle."
Kamitani reflexively looked at the juice bottle in his hand.
* Whoosh … * Seiji instantly cast [Body-strengthening technique] and jumped backwards, fleeing at top speed!
Kamitani was still looking at the label and didn't seem to notice anything. However, the dark shadow suddenly moved and reached out with a gigantic claw!
This claw was incredibly fast and was about to catch up to him.
[Evolved Fireball]!
Seiji combined the power of his bonded spirit and shot out a gigantic golden Mana Bullet of Flames. The Mana Bullet of Flames collided with the black claw, causing it to explode violently.
The black claw was completely destroyed, but it instantly reformed and continued chasing after Seiji!
Seiji shot out another fireball and destroyed the black claw for the second time. However, the black claw still reformed.
* Boom boom boom boom … * There were continuous explosions. Seiji retreated at high speed as he blocked the black claw. He retreated to the end of the street, causing everyone to be astonished.
Ordinary people couldn't see the black claw or the Mana Bullet. They could only hear the sound. That was why they only saw a boy wearing a trench coat retreating at an astonishing speed due to some mysterious explosion.
When Seiji reached the street, a car happened to pass by. The driver was so shocked that he immediately stepped on the brakes!
The harsh sound of the tires rubbing against the ground rang out. It was too late to brake at such a close distance, and they were about to crash!
However, the next moment, the boy's figure suddenly disappeared, and a thud came from the roof of the car, as if someone had stepped on it.
What happened? The middle-aged driver was dumbstruck.
The pedestrians on the street were surprised to see the boy in the trench coat covering his face with one hand, stepping on the roofs of passing cars and quickly crossing the street! Following an unknown explosive sound, he leaped upwards with extraordinary jumping strength. He leaped along the walls of the building and finally jumped over the roof!
"Amazing … What is that?"
"Parkour? What kind of special equipment was used to produce such an explosive sound? "
"I don't see anything special on that person …"
"That's definitely not an ordinary person! It's a superpower user! "
"He's so handsome … It's a pity I couldn't take a picture."
Although it caused some commotion, there weren't many people who saw it, so there wouldn't be any problems.
Unless there was a video, such a strange event wouldn't even cause a ripple on the internet.
Seiji moved at high speed on the roof, constantly firing Evolved Fireballs at Black Claw.
The black claw had shrunk in size, but there were now eight of them! Their speed had also increased.
At this rate, Seiji would definitely be caught.
Still, it was already surprising that Kamitani was able to escape so far … Seiji felt that if he was in Kamitani's shoes, he would definitely think of a way to stop Kamitani from escaping if he wanted to. Such a long-distance chase would mean that Kamitani had already failed.
Did Kamitani not have a good plan at all? Or …
While thinking, Seiji continued running on the rooftops. Gradually, he arrived at the busy district.
At this moment, the eight black claws suddenly split apart and transformed into countless thin black needles that shot towards him from all directions!
Protective spell, "Demon Suppressing Bell"!
Seiji had already prepared his spell. He cast a gigantic golden bell with himself as the center, blocking all the black needles while also shattering them!
Since his Spiritual Power had greatly increased, he was now able to better use the spells he had learned before. Even casting the Demon Suppressing Bell like this wouldn't hurt him.
Then, he stopped running and observed the situation.
"I've checked the labels carefully. What now?"
A voice suddenly came from behind him.
Seiji hurriedly turned around to see that the silver-haired boy was sitting on the edge of a rooftop with a glass of fruit juice in his hand. He had a casual expression as he looked in Seiji's direction.
It was as if he had been waiting here all this time.
"… What do you think of this label?"
"I don't think much of it. It doesn't look nice."
"That's right. I didn't choose fruit juice because the label doesn't look nice," Seiji replied.
"I see ~" Kamitani smiled and then took another sip. Once again, he had a sour expression.
The night breeze was rather chilly.
"I've already asked for reinforcements from Soul Society," Seiji voluntarily told Kamitani. "Reinforcements will arrive soon."
Asking for reinforcements was what he truly wanted to do.
Escaping was only to buy some time and stall for time. He didn't expect things to go so smoothly, to the point where he found it strange.
Kamitani acted like he didn't care at all. He continued drinking his fruit juice with a sour expression.
After a few sips, Kamitani sighed.
"This tastes so bad … Yan, help me throw it away."
There was no response.
"I know that I shouldn't waste it, but this tastes so bad," Kamitani continued speaking to Seiji.
There was still no response.
'No … something should be responding to him, but I can't see or hear it.' Seiji thought to himself.
"At any rate, I can't drink it! If you force me to drink it, I'll … put it away for now and drink it when I get back. "
The first half of Kamitani's sentence was filled with resistance. However, the second half of his sentence was filled with fear, as if he was giving in to the person he was talking to.
The fruit juice in his hand then floated up and disappeared into the darkness.
Something flashed in Seiji's eyes as he witnessed this scene.
"Did you have fun?" Kamitani looked towards him again.
"What?"
"Did you have fun with that demon tag game just now?"
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"I didn't have fun, because it was too easy. Even if I went easy on you, that's all you could do." Kamitani shrugged. "Let's play something else now."
He then waved his hand, causing a blood-red card to fly out.
Seiji reflexively caught the card.
"This is a game card. You can activate it by injecting Mana into it and enter the game," Kamitani explained.
Seiji furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the card in his hand.
This card was bright blood-red, as if it was made from solidified blood. There were complex black runes and a gray pentagram on it. It gave off an ominous aura.
"I'll be waiting for you inside. You need to come in as soon as possible."
Seiji looked at the silver-haired boy in front of him again. However, the silver-haired boy was nowhere to be seen.
"If you don't come, someone's going to die ~"
Seiji's words sounded in his ears, containing a deep chill.
