Isamu felt a sense of fear as if he was being watched, but he soon discovered that he was wrong.
Those two weren't looking at him. Instead, they were looking at a black-clothed figure that appeared in a black mist …
The crow-masked person!
…
After activating the game card, Seiji and Little Shi entered a strange dream together.
Just as the information said, the setting was the Spirit World's "Ironfire City"!
The real Ironfire City was more dangerous than the Forest Palace, but less dangerous than the Blood Moon Mountain. This was only an imitation of the real environment.
The two of them were soon surrounded and attacked as they observed the environment.
After they finished off the attackers, they saw a silver-haired figure wearing a crow mask and a black bathrobe appear not far away.
"Welcome ~" Itsuki Kamitani's voice spoke up. "You're rather late, Haruta bro."
"I always need to be prepared when visiting a stranger's home," Seiji responded.
"How can you say that we're strangers? We already know each other, and we've even played games together. We're friends!"
"Our understanding of 'friends' might be a little off, Kamitani-san."
"Don't be so serious about retorting."
While Seiji and Itsuki were talking, the attackers on the ground all disappeared.
Then, there was the sound of sharp gunshots!
* Tat tat tat tat tat! *
Seiji and Little Shi dodged in time and hid behind a pipe. Bullets clattered against the pipe.
The attacker was a man wearing a wolf mask and an assault rifle.
Kamitani looked at this man. Black mist instantly appeared around this man and transformed into a giant claw that suddenly grabbed him!
"My apologies for my poor hospitality."
"… What's your goal for doing something like this?" Seiji asked Kamitani directly.
"Eh?"
"This dream, this so-called game, what's the point of doing all this?"
"Of course it's to let people have fun!" Kamitani spread his hands. "All games in the world are like this!"
Seiji was rendered speechless.
He folded his arms and acted as if he was saying, "I'm just going to quietly watch you spout nonsense."
"Alright, that's not the case for all games." Kamitani coughed. "I have my organization's reasons for creating this game … but please believe me when I say that I'm only hosting this project because I want to have fun."
"Is it fun to toy with other people's lives?"
"I'm not toying with their lives, I'm just toying with their souls."
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
"Don't be so serious. Although some people died, it was their own fault." Kamitani chuckled when he saw Seiji's anger.
"What exactly do you want?" Seiji glared at him and questioned, "What do you mean when you said that someone would die if I didn't come?"
"I want to do a test. Although it's a little early to start this test, I feel that the current state of the game isn't interesting enough, so I decided to bring it forward. " Kamitani responded, "If you hadn't come, it's likely that more people would have died, including people you know."
Boom!!
A tremendous fireball slammed into Kamitani, exploding into raging flames as if Kamitani was furious.
The black mist suddenly swept away the raging flames. The silver-haired youth was unharmed.
"Don't be like that. That person you know came here willingly. I didn't force him. And, rather than dying, I feel that that person will benefit more, because he seems to have quite a bit of potential. "
"Who is it!?" Seiji clenched his fists.
"It's a secret ~ There's no point in telling you now. Find out for yourself." Kamitani chuckled.
Many figures flashed through Seiji's mind.
He thought of who it might be, but he had too little information to determine.
"As for what I want to test, rather than telling you verbally, it'll be faster to show you directly."
Before Seiji could ask anything else, Kamitani waved his hand, causing a gigantic black claw to instantly move next to him and toss the wolf-masked man onto the ground.
The silver-haired youth pointed at the man, causing a black mist to appear and enter the wolf-masked man. The man instantly screamed in pain.
"Arghhhh!!!!"
His body began to expand, and his clothes transformed into fur. His screams turned from pitiful to wolf-like howls. The mask covered his entire head, making it even more twisted and vicious …
In a short period of time, the wolf-masked man transformed into a gray-furred werewolf that was over two meters tall and had a powerful body!
"This mask is called the 'Mask of Sin,' and this transformation is called the 'Sin Activation,'" Kamitani spoke as if he was a child showing off a toy.
Before he even finished speaking, the werewolf howled and charged at Seiji Mukai and Little Shi!
* Boom!! *
Seiji shot out another gigantic fireball that hit the werewolf squarely in the head.
However, it was useless. The werewolf passed through the flames and viciously swiped at him!
Seiji agilely dodged, but Little Shi turned around and viciously kicked the werewolf!
This kick was more than enough to send an adult flying. However, the werewolf didn't even budge an inch.
The werewolf's eyes glowed with a blood-red light as it furiously swung its claws! It was so fast that it left afterimages in its wake.
Without any weapons, Seiji and Seiji continuously retreated.
Little Shi then raised her hand and condensed chilly air into a sharp ice blade. She found an opportunity to counterattack!
The werewolf's right claw was injured. It roared and suddenly spat out a large amount of grayish-white liquid at her!
Defensive spell, [Turtle Shell]!
Seiji cast a composite defensive barrier and stood in front of Little Shi just in time to block this unavoidable attack.
The grayish-white liquid gave off an indescribably strange stench that made everyone feel disgusted.
The wound on the werewolf's right claw rapidly healed as if it hadn't been injured at all.
It then circled around to Seiji's side and swung its claws. A sharp glint flashed in Seiji's eyes as he instantly gathered a powerful white light in his right hand. He combined it with his bonded spirit's power to form a shining longsword with golden runes that gave off a faint golden holy glow.
[White Lotus Spiritual Sword]!
Seiji slashed out with his sword. There was a flash of light, and the werewolf's left claw was sent flying!
The werewolf screamed in pain and retreated.
The next second, grayish-white liquid gushed out of the wound and speedily reformed into the shape of a claw. It soon recovered to its original state.
Right after that, the werewolf jumped upwards and speedily flew between the pipes, corridors, and floors.
Seiji and Little Shi stood back to back as they observed the werewolf and were on full alert.
The werewolf kept jumping to increase its speed. It transformed into a large number of afterimages that flashed in all directions. Finally, it suddenly swooped down from above Seiji and Seiji! It opened its large mouth and was about to spit out a grayish-white liquid large enough to completely drown Seiji and Seiji …
* Shing!! *
The sword of light pierced through its mouth and came out through its lower body!
Seiji saw through this attack and pierced through the werewolf's body with his spirit-increasing sword.
Then, the spiritual sword exploded with a blinding light!
* Boom!!! *
The werewolf's body exploded and split into two halves.
Grayish-white liquid splashed everywhere, causing the surrounding area to become unbearably stinky.
After the two halves landed on the ground, they quickly started wriggling as if they were about to reassemble and use their powerful regenerative abilities to regenerate.
[Evolved Spiritual Flames]!
Seiji sent out golden-red flames that burned half of the werewolf's body to ashes.
Little Shi froze and shattered the other half of the werewolf's body.
* Clap clap clap … * There was a round of applause.
"Not bad," Kamitani praised.
"As you can see, Sin Activation is able to turn a player that you could have easily dealt with into a player that you'll need to spend some effort to deal with.
The more people the player kills, the more beautiful the Sin Mask will be, and the more powerful the Sin Activation will be.
The more powerful the Sin Activation, the more difficult it will be to withstand. Players who can't withstand it will have a mental breakdown or even die from soul damage.
"If you don't want them to die, you'll have to kill them off the game before they become like that."
