The Griffin that carried Yao returned to the starting point at an unparalleled speed.
However, just as victory was about to be confirmed, Yao let go of the reins.
"What?!"
"Kasuga Tribe!"
Yao's petite body was thrown into the air by the inertia as if it was being blown away.
Black Rabbit and Ashina, who wanted to rush out to save her, were stopped by Sixteenth Night and Eight-cloud Ink.
"Don't worry, she's fine."
In midair, Yao's body suddenly turned around. Then, it gradually reduced the speed of its fall. Finally, before it touched the shore of the lake, it flew up.
Yao, who was floating in the air as if it was supported by the wind, slowly landed in front of the surprised crowd.
It seemed that her body had turned into a girl, so Sixteenth Night was more casual when facing Yao and Fei Niao. She patted Yao's shoulder casually and said, "I guessed right. Your gift can obtain the characteristics of other creatures, right?"
Yao widened her eyes slightly, then shook her head with a smile.
"… No, this is proof of becoming friends."
White Yaksha and Eight-cloud Ink walked in front of Yao.
They were not stingy with their applause. White Yaksha asked, "Aiya, you're amazing. You won this competition. But your gift … is it innate? "
"No, it's all because I got the wooden carving from my father that I can communicate with animals."
"Wooden carving?"
Yao nodded and took off the round wooden carving on her chest that was used as a pendant.
White Yaksha took it and Eight-cloud Ink looked at it with her.
"System Tree?"
Black Rabbit, who had come over at some point, suddenly spoke.
White Yaksha was stunned and then her eyes widened. "If it's a System Tree … this figure … and it's so concentrated … then … amazing!! It's amazing, girl. If it was really created by humans, then your father can be called a genius of God! "
"Let me see."
Eight-cloud Ink reached out.
White Yaksha thought for a moment and handed the wooden carving over.
Lowering her head, Eight-cloud Ink carefully observed the pattern on it.
"… Did you deliberately make the wooden carving into a round shape to represent the cycle of life and reincarnation?"
"Regeneration and destruction. This represents the evolution of life systems in continuous reincarnation and gradually moving towards the center of the circle, which is the center of the world. As for the blank space in the middle … perhaps the work itself was not completed … "
Before he could finish looking at the Eight-cloud Ink, White Yaksha snatched the wooden sculpture away again.
"That's amazing, little girl. Can you transfer it to me?"
"No!"
Yao refused and then took back the wooden carving.
Bai Yasha immediately acted like a child whose favorite toy had been taken away and began to make a fuss.
"Alright, alright. Since the competition is over, it's time for the bestowment …"
"In that case, Lord White Yaksha, please appraise their gifts!"
"Eh eh? Is that what Black Rabbit meant? "
Bai Yaksha immediately turned his head awkwardly and muttered softly,
"That's troublesome … That's not my strong suit …"
Troubled, the kimono loli scratched her head. Then, she suddenly smiled as if she had thought of a good idea.
"Although it's a little extravagant, let's use it here to celebrate the revival of your community!"
Clapping his hands, three glowing cards appeared in Sixteen Nights, Flying Bird, and Yao's hands.
"Wait, wait, Lord White Yaksha!"
Black Rabbit said hurriedly.
"What about Lady Yakumo and Miss Ashina?"
"Ah?"
White Yaksha looked over strangely.
"You want one too?"
"There's no need for that." Eight-cloud Ink shook her head.
The cards in the hands of Sixteen Nights and the other two quickly revealed their bestowment names.
On the sky-blue card was written: Sixteen Nights Reversal (Sex Change). Bestowment name: Original Form Unknown.
On the wine-red card was written: Ancient Flying Bird. Bestowment name: Might Light.
On the dark green card was written: Haruhibu Yao. Bestowment name: Life Catalog. No Specific Form.
"Hey, hey, hey! What's with that 'Sex Change'?! "
"Huh? Isn't that obvious? "
Eight-cloud Ink pointed at Sixteen Nights' towering breasts with a smile.
"Damn it! How dare you mock me with a mere card! "Sixteen Nights glared fiercely at the card in question.
White Yaksha said, "The official name of the Bestowment Card is' Laplace's Paper ', which is the corner of omniscience. The Bestowment imprinted on it is the name of the 'Grace' that is connected to your soul. Even if you don't appraise it, you can roughly understand the origin of the Bestowment when you see this. Of course, other than the Bestowment, some other more important information will also appear. "
At this point, White Yaksha immediately looked at Sixteen Nights gloatingly.
"How can you fix it …"

After leaving [That and Yes], they walked through the fountain square for another fifteen minutes before finally arriving at the entrance of the [No Name] residential area.
There were still traces of the flag that had once hung on the door.
"Our community is inside, but we still have to walk a distance to reach the headquarters after entering. Please forgive us. Moreover, there are traces of battle nearby … "
"Traces of battle? Can you let me take a look? "Eight-cloud Ink asked.
"Ah? Okay! "
Black Rabbit opened the door hesitantly.
A gust of dry wind blew the yellow sand out of the door.
What entered their sight was a ruin.
From the various traces left behind, they could vaguely tell that this was once a city.
Eight-cloud Ink walked to the front of a dilapidated wooden house and reached out to place her hand on a decaying pillar.
With a crack, the wooden house immediately collapsed.
"Black Rabbit, you said that the battle with the Demon King was only a few years ago, right?"
"Yes."
"But this place looks like it has been here for hundreds of years …"
Squatting down, Eight-cloud Ink gently covered the yellow sand ground with her palm.
[I can feel … that kind of power … No … there are several powers left here …]
Her spirit sea was connected to the Builder Wood, and it was emitting a crisp sound.
"Black Rabbit."
"Yes!"
"Back then … there was more than one Demon King who destroyed the community, right?"
“！！！”
Black Rabbit's ears suddenly perked up.
"Who were they?"
"I'm sorry —"
Black Rabbit lowered her head.
"According to the pre-war contract, before we can counterattack … these are absolutely not to be revealed …"
"… I understand."
Standing up, Eight-cloud Ink looked up at the sky.
At dusk, most of the sky was filled with a brilliant sunset glow.
The streets, which once had beautiful and neat white stone slabs, were buried by dust and sand.
The wooden buildings had collapsed as if they were rotten.
The key parts of the steel bars and iron wires were twisted and crooked, and mottled with rust.
The trees on both sides of the road were withered and placed there like tombstones.
"No matter what kind of attack is used, it's impossible to cause such damage … It looks like hundreds of years have passed …"
Cold sweat appeared on Sixteenth Nights' back, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Ashina held Aistel's hand and noticed that in the dilapidated houses, there were even tea sets on the tables.
"It's as if everyone has disappeared into thin air."
Lowering her head and not looking at the ruins, Black Rabbit walked along the decadent road and said in a low voice.
"… The battle with the Demon King was such an unknown battle. They didn't take away this land because they wanted to show off the Demon King's power, and it could also be considered as a warning to others. Every time a powerful human appeared, they would provoke a competition with the intention of playing, so that the humans would never dare to disobey and submit. After that battle, the few remaining companions lost their will to fight … They left the guild and the box. "
Quietly listening to Black Rabbit's narration, Eight-cloud Ink had other thoughts in his mind.
[Really … just to show off their power?]
Intuition told him that the Demon King … or the Demon King's motive for attacking [No Name] back then was not that simple.
Seeing that everyone was a little depressed, Eight-cloud Ink sighed, then put on a bright smile on his face.
"Okay, okay, don't be like this, today is our first day here, cheer up, go wash up first!"
Seeing that Black Rabbit turned her head and hesitated, Eight-cloud Ink, who knew what she wanted to say, waved his hand.
"Don't worry, the water problem … I'll solve it!"
