Yes, I did all this!

"What, are you scared because your opponent is a human?"

Crossing his arms, Duanmumo looked at Huangyi, shook his head in disappointment, and said, "Combatants are also human beings. Why were you able to kill them so decisively before? But you couldn't be cruel to weirdos, what a double standard. Ah, Huangyi."

Listening to Duanmumo's words, Huangyi's footsteps became even more chaotic. In the end, he could only passively dodge its attacks, not knowing how to start.

"——Don't think about anything else, Huangyi, do it!"

Xiri's difficult voice sounded, accompanied by Poison Man's mocking voice: "What do you think she can do? Even if she really wants to take action, she is not my opponent, Manzhu Shahua."

The poisonous vine waved his hand again, and the thorny vine fanned across Xihi's waist and abdomen, leaving a tear mark on her tights, and blood flowed from the wound.

"Well..."

Xiri grunted in pain, took a few steps back, looked at Huang Yi and shouted:

"Do you remember what I told you yesterday? Think back quickly!"

…Yesterday’s words?

Huangyi stepped back again and again, looking at the weirdo who seemed to have unlimited energy, recalling the contents of yesterday's training:

"——That's it for today."

Yuhi waved her hands, announcing the end of the whole day's training.

In front of her, Huang Yi was half-kneeling on the ground, panting, and said weakly: "Thank you, thank you for your teaching..."

"I have something to tell you before I leave." Looking at Huangyi, Xiri hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said:

"My strength is honed in a lot of battles, and it won't be effective in a short time, so I have another method."

"Yes, what?"

Xihi sighed: "...Huangyi, I have to admit that you have considerable strength, but you are a person who is easily affected by external factors. These chaotic emotions will interfere with your strength. Play, so when you make up your mind to fight for something, this strength will appear.”

Xihi thought that in the last battle with the vampire monster, Huangyi indeed burst out with powerful power, probably because she was eager to save those victims.

"Strengthening your own beliefs will fully unleash your own strength. At that time, I believe you will not be weaker than me." Xihi said calmly:

"But this can't be done in a short time, so you might as well settle for the next best thing, clear your mind and focus on the battle with all your heart, and don't think about anything else other than the battle."

"Will this make me stronger?" Huang Yi gasped and felt a little unbelievable.

"It's just for now."

Xiri did not look at Huangyi, but just stared at the setting sun on the mountain, with a touch of sadness in her eyes:

"If you continue to fight blindly, you will only lose yourself in the end and become weaker and weaker in the end."

She raised her head and stared at her armor-covered palms: "...But for you, this is not something that should be considered."

Volume 1: Chapter 47: Katsuragi

tread--

Huangyi stood still, taking a deep breath and looking at the weirdo in front of him, sweat streaking across his forehead.

… Calm down, it’s weird as it is, and if it’s not addressed, more people are going to get hurt over it.

Forcing himself to imagine a situation in which he had to fight this weirdo, Huangyi held the sword tightly.

...Just empty your mind and act like fighting other weirdos is no big deal.

"oh?"

Seeing the change in Huangyi's momentum, Duanmumo became interested and looked at Huangyi with a mysterious smile.

The weirdo had already raised his fist and swung his fist towards Huang Yi who was standing still.

Just when her fist was about to hit Huang Yi, she moved.

Thunder and lightning erupted from the body, and Huangyi disappeared instantly. If you look closely, you will find that an afterimage brushed against the weirdo's body and finally stopped behind the weirdo.

Huangyi held the sword tightly and breathed deeply.

Looking at the monster behind him, there was a flat cut wound on its abdomen. The damage was so severe that half of its torso was cut off.

"What!"

Seeing this scene, Du Man's pupils shrank and his movements became sluggish.

But Huangyi would not stop moving because of her slowness. Taking advantage of the momentary feeling, Huangyi raised the sword, and thunder and lightning condensed on the blade.

"Drink!"

Screaming, Huangyi swung his knife towards the weirdo in the air.

Thunder and lightning were released from the sword and blasted into the weirdo's body.

"dumb--"

The roots squirmed violently, and the weirdo opened his hands and howled in pain.

Some of the roots turned into ashes and shattered, and its screams gradually changed.

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, Poisonous Man immediately gave up the fight with Yuhi and rushed towards the weirdo.

Huangyi's power exceeded his expectations. Although it was far less than Yuri and Duman themselves, if this body died, it would be difficult to find another one.

But before she could get far away from Yuhi, her movement suddenly stopped - her vine was held in Yuhi's hand, and even if the sharp thorns pierced her hand armor, Yuhi did not let go.

"Don't try to succeed, Poison Man!"

Yuri grabbed hard, and the raging fire engulfed the poisonous vines, blocking her way.

Du Man's face finally became anxious. She attacked Xi Ri more heavily than before, but it was not easy to get rid of her.

In an emergency, she shouted: "Neville, stop Huang Yi quickly!"

"——I won't do anything without benefits."

Duanmu Mo said, but a belt appeared around his waist, and he waved the energy card in his hand as if to hint to Du Man.

"Two! I'll give you two energy cards later!"

"Three."

"Asshole... three is three!"

In a hurry, Du Man had no time to bargain and decisively agreed.

So Duanmu Mo put his eyes back on Huang Yi.

—— Trying his best to release his energy, Huang Yi listened to the conversation between the two, and it was inevitable that he felt anxious. So he intensified the release of power, but at the same time, she also heard the change in the scream of the weirdo.

The hoarse and sharp cry gradually became familiar, and Huang Yi vaguely felt that this voice had been heard there.

The inner vacillation made her appear flawed, and Duanmu Mo immediately jumped down from the street lamp and rushed towards her.

He stuffed the energy card into his belt, transformed instantly, and kicked Huang Yi away.

"Ah!"

Huang Yi fell into a pile of ruins, but the first thing he did was not to stand up, but to look at the crumbling weirdo.

The rhizome on his body was almost completely burned, but was interrupted by Neville at the last step, but it was enough to expose part of the appearance of this weirdo inside the rhizome.

The charred rhizome on the head fell off, and the face appeared in front of Huang Yi. She suddenly opened her eyes wide, her face full of shock and disbelief.

"That is..."

The face of Mrs. Katsuragi who had been missing for a long time, and at this moment, there were rhizomes growing on her face, and her eyes were extremely empty, as if she had lost her soul.

—— She opened her mouth and was about to say something, and the next moment Duanmu Mo's big sword was placed on her neck, stepping on her to prevent her from moving.

"Don't move. If you don't want me to chop you down, just lie here."

"—Get out of my way! Get out of my way!"

Looking at Mrs. Katsuragi whose face was covered by roots again, Huang Yi immediately struggled violently, unstable currents surged from her body, and she swung a knife at Duanmu Mo.

"I can't do it." Duanmu Mo casually dodged the knife and grabbed Huang Yi's arm and threw her out with force, hitting her hard in the distance.

Then Duanmu Mo turned his head and looked at the weirdo.

His true expression was hidden in the helmet and could not be detected. His eyes stayed on the weirdo and Duman. Suddenly, he snorted and came to the front of the weirdo.

"I say, have you achieved your goal?"

Grabbing the weak weirdo, Duanmu Mo quietly put a blank card behind it, and then raised his head and said to Duman not far away.

"Huh—it seems it's time to leave."

Seeing that the weirdo was finally rescued, Duman was relieved and smiled at Xi Ri.

A huge vine broke out of the ground and engulfed the poisonous vine, and Duanmu Mo also threw the monster up, and the vine automatically caught it and retracted into the ground.

"Stop!"

Xiri wanted to stop it, but several bullets shot over and blocked her movements. Xiri could only watch the poisonous vine disappear from her eyes with a mocking smile.

When she focused her attention on Neville, he also waved at Xiri, and the black mist released from the gun engulfed him and disappeared on the spot.

Only Xiri was left in the damaged street, and Huang Yi came again from a distance. The play of the two monsters made them feel a strong sense of humiliation and failure. The weakness after the battle made Xiri half-kneel on the ground.

"Damn it!" She hammered the ground hard, her eyes full of frustration, and cracks spread from the ground.

"......" Huang Yi didn't say anything. She just stared blankly at the hole where the vine disappeared. The voice finally came out of her mouth: "Aunt Katsuragi? Why......"

She had countless doubts in her heart. The complex emotions urged her to find out the truth immediately, but the deep hole and the complex sewers revealed in it made her feel extremely confused.

"Mr. Duanmu——"

Subconsciously, she wanted to find Duanmu Mo, who seemed to be omnipotent in her impression, but the next moment, she saw Xi Ri standing up, moving the ruins on the street, and a familiar motorcycle appeared in front of Huang Yi.

"Mr. Duanmu's motorcycle? Why is it here!"

Huang Yi didn't understand what happened. She just saw the news about the battle between the monster and Xi Ri, and then came immediately. She didn't expect Duanmu Mo to appear here.

Xiri lowered her eyes, raised her hand, and after the fireball destroyed the camera drone in the sky, she spoke: "He came here with me to discuss something."

"Talk about something... here?"

Huang Yi didn't understand why he had to come here when he could have explained it clearly in the office.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, let's go to his office first and talk about it."

Taking out her phone in front of Huang Yi, Xiri called Duanmu Mo and put it to her ear:

"Where are you?"

"... I'll go to your office first, I have something to tell you, let's talk about it later."

——After hanging up the phone, Xiri nodded to Huangyi and said, "Duanmumo said that he had other things to deal with and asked us to park his motorcycle nearby."

Hearing this, Huangyi was stunned for a moment and nodded silently. It just so happened that she also had questions to ask Duanmumo - many, many.

...

Not long after, in the sewer room, Duanmu Mo, who had not yet released his transformation, sat on a chair and fanned his nose, making a sound of disgust:

"Can't we choose a better place? It stinks."

Opposite him, Poisonous Vine ignored Duanmumo's words, but turned his hand into a vine to treat this weirdo's injuries.

Duanmumo raised his legs and put them on the table, sighing boredly: "Why do you care so much about this flower weirdo? I think you should change your name to plant weirdo?"

Why is Manzhushahua too hard to pronounce? Duanmumo can't appreciate her taste anyway.

"Manzhushahua is a red flower from the other side, a beautiful flower that grows on the road to hell. In other words, it is the precursor of the dead coming to hell." Duanmu looked deeply at Duanmu Mo: "Don't you feel it? ? Manzhushahua’s sadness, hatred, and despair.”

"How about the Lycoris Monster? This is the scientific name of Bibigan flower." Duanmu Mo's words did not match his words, and he had no intention of cooperating with the poisonous vine.

But Du Man wasn't angry either. She just looked at the weirdo smiling gently, but her eyes were extremely sharp: "This is not the last appearance of Manzhu Shahua. I can feel that there is still a little bit of 'love' in this body at the end. Only it can make flowers bloom.”

Shrugging casually, Duanmumo yawned: "Are you done? When can I get my three energy cards back?"

"That's it now."

At Duanmu Mo's feet, a plant broke out of the ground and grew several dark red fruits.

"This is the fruit I obtained by absorbing nutrients from weirdos, so go ahead."

Hearing this, Duanmu Mo raised his hand, and the fruit turned into black energy and condensed in Duanmu Mo's hand, forming three energy cards.
