Kaori wasn't the only one here. Karen was here as well!
Seiji tried to guess why things had become like this. If things were as he thought, then he wouldn't be able to shirk his responsibility by saying that he hadn't thought of this.
No matter what, the most important thing right now was to focus on the present.
After he cut off the scorpion tail and saved Karen's companions, the insect men all attacked him!
Seiji retreated with his injured companions while simultaneously creating more than ten fireballs and shooting them at the same time!
* Boom boom boom boom! * There were continuous explosions and intense flames!! This stopped the insect men's attacks.
Little Shi cast a spell to attack the centipede snake monster, while Isamu transformed and started shooting at the insect men!
Kaori's scorpion tail swiftly regenerated and was about to attack again when Karen's bee swarm blocked it.
The scorpion tail glowed red as it swept across and defeated the bee swarm!
Karen grit her teeth and released even more red mist, which transformed into bee swarm that continued to attack.
Seiji checked Three-Eyed Cat's condition. However, he saw that Three-Eyed Cat's body started glowing gray as his body became hazy. He soon transformed into a grayish-black ball of light, which then reconstructed into a humanoid shape and returned to his original physical form!
"Rebirth from death … do cats have nine lives?" Three-Eyed Cat looked at himself.
This ability would activate after receiving a fatal injury. All injuries would instantly heal and all debuffs would be removed. This ability could be activated a total of nine times … Only now did he learn that his power had such a powerful ability.
"So, my power is suitable for melee combat … honestly, I don't really like being a warrior."
As he said this, he revealed his claws and actively fought against the rat-headed beetle men that were charging at him!
"You're quite strong, aren't you?" Three-Eyed Cat spoke to Seiji Mukai as he fought. "I can sense that you're quite strong … Don't worry about the small fries. Hurry up and deal with the queen!"
Before he even finished speaking, countless insects around the platform started flying towards the platform like a flood!
It was evident that Kaori was beginning to use her true power.
"If we're too late … we'll all die." Three-Eyed Cat sighed upon seeing this.
"We won't die."
Seiji spoke calmly as he speedily formed hand seals with his hands, temporarily combining fire and barrier spells into a spell that he cast …
[Evolved Spirit Flame Barrier]!
* Whoosh … * Golden-red flames shot into the sky, forming a giant wall of fire that burned the insects flying towards him!
Three-Eyed Cat widened his eyes.
That was not all. Seiji moved at high speed, continuously casting Firewall around the entire platform, preventing the swarm from entering!
This majestic flame barrier astonished both Isamu and Karen. Only Little Shi wasn't surprised at all as she focused on fighting.
"With me here, no one will die."
Seiji returned to Three-Eyed Cat's side after circling the area.
"You … you're amazing." Three-Eyed Cat dodged the bugman's attack. "Who are you? Are you a cheater? "
"I guess so." Seiji joined the battle.
Under the threat of a powerful enemy, the insect-shaped players all activated their Masks of Sin and turned into strange and terrifying gigantic monsters!
But for Seiji and Little Shi, they were just slightly more difficult to deal with than the average Sin Activator.
His figure flashed, his saber light flashed, raging flames burned, and ice froze …
Isamu and Three-Eyed Cat were responsible for the icing on the cake in this fierce battle.
It was fine for them to fight against the untransformed bugmen, but it would be much more difficult to deal with the transformed monsters. Rather than trying to show off, it would be better to just rely on their boss.
Isamu and Three-Eyed Cat soon recognized each other.
"Three-Eyed Cat-kun, I'm so happy to fight alongside you again, heehee ~"
"… Are you alright, Owl?"
"Of course I'm alright. I'm quite happy to reunite with you ~ As for you, you seemed to be seriously injured just now. Are you alright now?"
"I'm fine. My power has unexpectedly powerful recovery abilities … Your emotions don't seem quite right. Is this a side effect of your power?"
"No! The current me is the real me!! Heeheehee ~ ~ "
"… I understand now. Owl, who are these two people? Do you know? "
"He's White Night, and she's the Knight of Zero, a Spiritual Ability user of justice!"
"Spiritual Ability users … I see."
Three-Eyed Cat learned the general situation from Owl.
* Boom!! *
There was a heavy sound as Karen was sent flying by Kaori's scorpion tail!
Seiji managed to catch her in time.
Kaori didn't chase after Karen. Instead, she speedily retreated to the fire wall and used her scorpion tail as a shield to protect herself. She then jumped out of the fire wall!
It was evident that she had escaped.
"I'm going to chase after her …"
"Let's finish dealing with this place first."
Seiji put Karen down so that she could rest for a while. He then continued to deal with the remaining aliens together with Little Shi.
Every time he defeated an alien, Shinobu would smash it out of the game.
Seiji didn't know if the players who transformed into aliens would have real side effects. All he could do was send them out of the game.
Not long after, the battle ended.
Seiji faced Owl and Three-Eyed Cat, who had returned to their original forms.
"Owl, and this person …"
"Three-Eyed Cat."
"Three-Eyed Cat-san … I'm going to have you both log out of the game."
"Is it because we won't be of any use in the upcoming battles?" Three-Eyed Cat asked weakly.
This was the first time he had returned to his original form after transforming. He felt rather uncomfortable and barely managed to stand.
"Simply speaking, yes." Seiji nodded.
"White Night …" Isamu looked at him.
"I'm truly grateful to you, Owl … you've already done more than enough."
"If you really want to thank me, shouldn't you give me something tangible? Owl has helped you all so much, and you're only going to thank me verbally? "Three-Eyed Cat interjected.
"Three-Eyed Cat, don't say that …"
"You're right." Seiji accepted Three-Eyed Cat's words. "I should give you something tangible."
Seiji thought about it.
"Owl, why don't you tell me a place? I'll deliver the gift to you later."
"No need! I helped out of my own volition, and I didn't help much. "Isamu waved his hand.
"Don't be an idiot, Owl. If you don't want it, give it to me. This is a thank you gift from a Spiritual Ability user," Three-Eyed Cat told him.
"I didn't fight for a thank you gift!"
"This doesn't conflict with you accepting a thank you gift, does it? Properly accept what you deserve. Otherwise, you'll regret it."
"I won't regret it at all! Three-Eyed Cat, you're too materialistic. "
"That's right, I'm a materialistic person. If it were me, I would definitely accept a thank you gift, or use this opportunity to become friends with a Spiritual Ability user. I wouldn't be so foolish as to not do anything, "Three-Eyed Cat spoke in a light tone.
"You …" Isamu was angry.
In the past, he had thought that Three-Eyed Cat was a nice person, but he didn't expect him to be like this … No, wait a moment.
Isamu suddenly realized something.
"White Night … I don't need a thank you gift … I just want to become friends with you. Is that alright?"
Seiji blinked upon hearing this.
"Sure." Seiji smiled.
Isamu's heartbeat suddenly sped up when he heard Seiji's smiling reply.
'Crap, I feel like I'm falling for him … Ptui! Not at all!! ' He just couldn't help but get excited.
This was a bona fide Spiritual Ability user! He was strong, and a nice person!!
If Isamu became friends with White Night, he might be able to break free from this dream with White Night's help in the future. Isamu might even become a true Spiritual Ability user … Although the latter might be overthinking things, it was still a possibility!
At any rate, Isamu definitely wouldn't lose out by becoming friends with White Night.
"Is that really alright?" Isamu couldn't help but ask.
