14-Episode 13 Trinity Full Cross
Why did I do it? Ryuzaki doesn't know. But his body was moving naturally. He pushed Koganei and Kumizaki out of the way and caught the barbaric sword that the King of the Dead Spirit swung at him alone. I felt an intense pain as if my entire body was being torn apart, and for a moment, I was knocked unconscious.
When I woke up, I could tell that it hadn't been that long since I hadn't been killed yet. My body still ached all over, but even so, my hands and feet moved. I realized once again how robust I was, covered by the dragon's scales.
There was still a hint of the King of the Dead Spirit nearby. With both arms, I managed to stand up and look around, and found a monster that looked like a composite of an eagle and a lion.......namely a gryphon lying there.
''........Washio!
Ryuzaki called out the name loudly, not willing to be noticed. Washio's body twitched. It seems he's still alive. However, I can't see any other faces. Where's Hakuba? Where's the tentacle field? Are the Koganei and Kumozaki you saved still alive?
Kyah!
I hear a scream. It's Spider Saki's. Ryuzaki started to move, dragging his body with him.
What will I become by going? Useless enough to make the leader wind up. The backing of the gourd palm he had put his trust in was gone. All he had left was his body. If this was not done well, he would die.
Nevertheless, Ryuzaki Kunihiro will not leave his classmates' plight unchallenged.
Because he is the chairman of the committee.
Even if it's decorative or ridiculous, Ryuzaki ran for the chair because he believed he had the best interests of the class in mind.
Ah, Asuka. You were right. Even though he thought there was nothing left, in the end, there was a pride that stuck shabbily to the bottom of the empty bottle. But that pride was the driving force that drove Ryuzaki forward now.
''Koganei! Koganei, open up! Please! Count me in!
Spider Saki was gunning for the steel door, crying out in a half-crazed frenzy. Behind him, the King of the Dead Spirit was slowly closing in on him.
It was one of the several small rooms in this five underground levels. When I first dove into the dungeon with Goubayashi, I had passed a few grave hounds in that sturdy little room. It's a perfect room to escape to, but is Koganei confined to himself?
The small door is large enough that the King of the Dead Spirit cannot get through, but it's more than enough to stick the tip of a barbaric sword into it. If he opened it poorly here, the two of them could be skewered together.
Koganei's action might be unavoidable if one side looked at it. However, if left unchecked, Kumozaki would
Ryuzaki limped forward, dragging his body. Whether he would be able to withstand another blow from that barbaric sword next time, I don't know.
In the meantime, the two of them were still arguing.
''Hey, Koganei! Why! How could you! Open it! Open up!
If I open the door, I'm going to die if I open it! We're both going to die!
So you want me to be the only one who dies? You let Koganei do whatever he wanted to do, you let him do whatever he wanted to do!
It wasn't everything.
Koganei's words stopped Spider Zaki's hand from tapping on the door.
''.......Eh?''
It wasn't everything! You! Because I'm a spider underneath! You couldn't even finish it! I would have let you do anything you wanted! You look like her! I'm out of the way now!
This, Koganei...
The King of the Dead Spirit was stuck behind the dumbfounded muttering Spider Saki. The raised barbaric sword. There is no more grace. Ryuzaki thrust himself again and pushed at the body of Spider Zaki. A small scream was heard and the barbaric sword of the King of the Dead Spirit struck Ryuzaki again. An intense pain that tore his body apart. This time, he manages to keep himself conscious.
The barbaric sword swung down and shattered the walls of the small room Koganei had fled into with a shockwave. Scattered debris and dust. From inside, a hunched over Koganei appeared with a rattling and trembling figure.
''I'm glad we're both.......safe.
Ryuzaki loosens his mouth and barely says so.
''Nah........''
Koganei choked on his words for a moment, but quickly lifted his eyes.
''What the hell is that! It's too late to be trying to be nice! It's too late! And you're going to help us? Hey!
His abuse didn't make me angry. There is only a sense of helplessness. Koganei was right. I was able to help Spider Zaki and prolong his life temporarily, but in the end, that's as far as I could go. As expected, I can't seem to move my body any further.
Hearing Koganei's ranting words, Ryuzaki looks up at the Deadly Spirit King, three eyes look down at him and the Deadly Spirit King raises his barbaric sword every time.
Is all is well. That's when I thought that.
''Evil Flame's Evil Claw (Evil Flare)!
Jet-black flames sprayed from the side as they tore through the sky. The Dead Spirit King was frightened for a moment and took two or three steps back.
A high-level attack black magic. I didn't need to probe to see who it was. When I turned my gaze, I saw a succubus with silver hair and small horns, with red twin eyes, standing there with an unprecedentedly fearless expression.
''Sakuma........!
It was Sakuma Shoko. As soon as Koganei saw her, he too forgot about the situation and his face broke out in a smile.
''S-Sakuchan...? Was it you, Satchan?
Yeah. Guys, we're here to help.
She's here to help, and apparently she's not the only one who says she's here to help.
It was Harui (Harpy) and Snakezuka (Lamia) who appeared from behind them. The two of them rushed over to us and shook the bodies of Ryuzaki, who couldn't move at all, as well as Kumozaki. However, even as they did so, the King of the Dead Spirit prepared his stance and was about to unleash his second attack. Sakuma began chanting again, and then, from behind her, another shadow popped up again.
''Dosuko!
The first one to jump out was Okumura (Orc). He hits a strong taut hand and shakes the dead king's trunk. Next, a headless female knight holds up her sword and slashes at him. This is Kenzaki (Dullahan).
"Huh, as expected of a 'red chanko nabe'!
'Don't be impressed, Debbie! Quickly, get another student!
'That's right! I forced myself to follow you along the way. I'll get the job done!
Sakuma unleashed another Evil Flame's Deadly Claw, while Okumura and Kenzaki rushed to Koganei and Washio. It was a brilliant link-up that one could only assume they knew that the King of the Dead had come to the fifth underground floor. Ryuzaki looks at Snakezuka's profile as he supports his body while holding back the intense pain.
''Snakezuka, this is........''
Sakuma told me to go. I mean, don't ask. Don't make me say it.
Kenzaki carries the unconscious Washio, and Koganei lets Okumura stand, and then manages to walk along the wall by himself. Are the other members of the group safe?
Sakuma had said to go, which means that they were aware of the situation and had come to their rescue. Kenzaki and others must have joined Sakuma on his way here. I don't know how they found out about the situation here, but they were honestly grateful for the rescue.
''Thanks, Sakuma........''
Yes.
Sakuma waited for Ryuzaki and Washio to be carried to the safety zone, drawing the attention of the King of the Dead Spirit.
''I want to be useful to Utsurogi-kun too, so...''
'A moron? What's the matter with Utsurogi?
She didn't answer the question that Ryuzaki had mentioned. With her red twin eyes, she looked unabashedly at the King of the Dead Spirit from the front. With a quick movement of her shapely, glossy lips, she finished her chanting and once again invoked the karma fire of hell.
''Evil Flame's (Evil), Evil Claws (Flare) ah!
A red magic circle emerged at the end of her outstretched palm, and the black flames gushing from it burned the body of the King of the Dead.
She and Okumura were the escapees. Okumura is a legendary delinquent who was known as the "Red Chanko Nabe" when he was in middle school. Even if he is not as strong as Oga's Goubayashi, he still manages to play the role of the mysterious vanguard with great skill. But neither Sakuma nor Okumura would be able to last long. We can't put any more pressure on them.
First, Koganei reaches the stairs and crawls up with his hands on them. Next, Spiderzaki, Kenzaki and Washio, accompanied by Harui, and finally Snakezuka and Ryuzaki managed to escape the fifth basement floor.
'Hey Sakuma! And fat! Quickly!
As Snake Mound shouted loudly, Sakuma and Okumura came running up from the bottom of the stairs. Sakuma was shaking his chest and Okumura was shaking his belly in a big way.
'Snakezuka, I think it's terrible to treat a girl with large breasts like a fatty, fatty.'
You are! You've got to be kidding me! It's disgusting!
"Pigs like to be clean and fat.
Okumura tapped himself in the stomach, and a pleasant sound of a spang echoed through the air. Sakuma's face was red and his shoulders were shaking. He might be laughing.
'Washio! Washio, get a grip!
Spider!
When I looked, I saw that Hakuba and Kikino had already escaped to this floor. They had rushed to Washio and Kumozaki and were glad to see them safe. Tentahara is there too. They're all safe.
Several other students were waiting there as well. All of them are former sports club students who are relatively close to Kenzaki. They were probably planning to form a party with her to explore the labyrinth. But this was still the fourth underground floor. It's possible that there are still some students below here.
I have to go help them.
''We have to go help them before the King of the Dead Spirit attacks the other students.
Sakuma said, and Okumura and Kenzaki nodded. Ryuzaki held his wounds and stood up.
''I'll go with you...''
Everyone's gaze turned directly to him.
''Ryuzaki, you're too fat to have a body like that.''
'Once my wounds are healed, I can withstand at least two attacks from the King of the Dead Spirit. Please.
Saying that, Ryuzaki looks at Hakuba. He backed away as if he was gawked at. ''Umm, a shishizari horse,'' Kenzaki said with a lopsided look.
As a unicorn, Hakuba is a valuable user of recovery magic in his class. However, since the essential person himself doesn't want to use it, he is rarely included in the party for that purpose. And when it comes to recovery magic, even Koganei can use it.
But right now Koganei was just sitting with his back to the wall, holding his head in his hands.
''...........................Oh my God! I get it!
The white horse spat out.
'You can use it, if you use it! Healing Light!
"Hakuba-kun, you have to chant properly...
Sakuma gives him a lukewarm smile.
'I know it's embarrassing but... right?'
'Yes. Sakuma chants properly in a whisper every time, too. You can do it.
"Fight Fatty, White Horse.
Hang in there.
I can do it.
Kenzaki and Okumura, too, clenched their fists and sent out iran ale. Harui and Snake Mound seemed to be rather unimportant.
''Come from the heavens ... the radiance of compassion ... give my friends the power to revive ... ooohhhh! Hi, 《Healing Light》 Ooh!
The last one was a yakuza, but the chanting was successful. The white horse's horns shone and a sparkling light enveloped Ryuzaki's body. The pain in his entire body receded as if it were a lie. It looks like I can still fight with this. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get it right.
Anyway, we can go with this. Ryuuzaki signaled to Sakuma and the others with his eyes. It seems that Harui and snakezuka are also reluctantly planning to follow us. It's far from being the strongest party, but it's a sufficient combination of strengths.
''The only question is when we'll get off,''
Kenzaki crossed his arms and said.
'There may still be the King of the Dead Spirit hanging around outside.
Ryuzaki nodded.
''Yeah, give up on us and while we're away...''
As he said this, a roar and shock hit them all. The whole body looked up in surprise and looked towards the stairs.
Yes, the shock was clearly coming from the fifth basement floor. A frightening sound, as if it was trying to force its way through a closed door. A sound that threatened the assumption that the place they were currently in was an absolute safe zone.
And it also broke the ice for Ryuzaki, Koganei and the others as to why the King of the Dead Spirit had appeared on the fifth underground floor.
''Everyone, run away, fatty!''
At those words, they all ran out in unison. Okumura pushes Koganei, who was too stunned to escape, and immediately after that the wall is smashed and debris is scattered.
''Okumuraa!''
Okumura-kun!
The scattered debris rained down on Okumura right above him. His lanky body, with its self-deprecating humor, was buried alive. I could see his thick arms making a last minute thumbs-up.
I have to go help him now. I have to dig him out. What halted Ryuzaki's thoughts was the majesty of the King of the Dead Spirit, who appeared in the dust that was already rising.
Three eyes were glaring coldly at us. The entire group turned pale at once.
''Everyone, hurry!
Sakuma shouted and began chanting. They started to move again as they were pushed forward. Washio and Hakuba, who had recovered, led the way, while Kumizaki and Kikino started to run. Kenzaki escorted the sluggishly moving Tentahara.
The distance between the King of the Dead and Sakuma was only a few meters. In order to stop the depressing fire magic chanting, the Reaper's King swung his sword. Ryuzaki intervened between them and caught the sword with his whole body.
''Goooooooooo...!
But he was in time. Sakuma finished casting the Evil Flame's Deadly Claw and unleashed a black flame. The King of the Dead Spirit flinched for a moment, then turned his gaze to another direction.
''Koganei! What's the matter with you? Hurry!
Kenzaki's angry voice echoed. When the two hurriedly turned around, Koganei was unable to stand with his back to the ground.
I have to hurry, Ryuzaki thinks, but his body doesn't move as much as it should. The King of the Dead Ghosts walked Zunzun and approached Koganei.
''Ah, ah, ah........''
Koganei's expression didn't even contort with fear. He just opened his eyes, opened his mouth, sweated, and tried desperately to stand up, but he couldn't stand up.
The King of the Dead Spirit brandished his six swords and aimed at Koganei. The two mouths were found to arc simultaneously.
''Koganeiyi!''
Ryuzaki shouted. It was immediately after that.
A huge fireball that was one meter in diameter was slammed into the King of the Dead Spirits from the side. There was a tremendous explosion, and the body of the King of the Dead Spirits lost its balance greatly. With a roar, he fell to the floor, and once again, debris and dust scattered around him.
At that moment, Ryuzaki had no idea what had happened. But Sakuma's face was glowing. It wasn't just Sakuma. Kenzaki, Harui and the others also seemed to understand what had happened.
They turned their attention to the destination. The direction in which the fireball flew.
There is a single black knight standing there.
I can assure you that it is Ryuzaki who knows the names and races of all the students. There is no student like that in my class.
It can only be described as a black knight, but it has a misleading appearance to just call it that.
Its entire body was wrapped in shiny black armor, with six pairs of three wings sprouting from its back. The skeleton of the wings was reminiscent of a bat, but its wing membranes were the burning flames themselves. Each one moved differently, and it was more like an arm than a wing. The flames extended and clung to the armor on both arms.
''What is that........''
The Black Knight Trinity Full Cross.
Gofunga...!
Before he knew it, the goblin standing next to Ryuzaki crossed his arms and said so.
''What's that ... black knight ... what?''
'It's Trinity Full Cross. That's what he said.
Isn't that name a long time ago?
The King of the Dead Spirit slowly stood up and turned his gaze to the Black Knight Trinity Full Cross or something.
He said his name, so is it someone who can communicate with him? He's on our side? I can't be sure. But that Dead Spirit King was clearly wary of the flaming wings rising from the Black Knight's back.
Washio, Hakuba, and Kumozaki and the others cleared a path to avoid the impenetrable Black Knight. A wise decision. At least that one is planning to cross over with the King of the Dead Spirit.
''That's right, Goshenbara. Okumura is under the rubble. I'm going to dig him out. Help me dig him up.
Really? Okay.
Goshigawara's expression became serious, and Sakuma, who had been silent, nodded behind him.
While that black knight was fighting the king of the dead, he would manage to rescue Okumura. With that in mind, Ryuzaki headed towards the pile of rubble, and suddenly noticed an unearthly object stuck to the head of Goshukawara.
It was a skull. A skull. Not just a skull. It didn't have a body, but it had small arms and legs, and its hands were clinging hard to Gofukawara's head.
''Hey.......what's that?''
Oh, is that him?
The quintuple patted the clinging skull and replied.
'Chibischelton. It's Chibiscuit for short. Isn't it cute?'
Well, I guess...
He's still the same guy who picks up the weirdest things, I thought.
Koganei and the others are safe. But Okumura is gone. I don't know if they got there in time or not. Kyousuke thought as he looked around.
'(Kyousuke, focus on what's in front of you right now)'
"(Yeah. I've come into the basement four floors, and I can't just leave it at that.)
Ei tells him in a low voice, as if he's listening. Rin agrees with him.
The two of them were certainly right. The King of the Dead Ghosts had broken down the walls and finally entered the basement four floors. If this happens, it's not enough to talk about the range of activities being threatened. We don't know when they'll be able to attack our base of operations. We can't just drive them away. They must be defeated right here.
The 《Trinity Full Cross》 was a success. Right now, Rin and Ei, the two of them are merged in Kyousuke's body.
Initially, the plan was to separate the right and left halves of their bodies to merge. It was extremely difficult to balance the entire body, and with Ei as the body, a major disadvantage arises that he can't properly fight in physical combat. If he was clothed in armor, he could at least hit his opponent, but even then he couldn't do it.
The solution to that shortcoming was Goshukawara's proposal.
He dismantled one of the skeletons with his approval, and attached its parts to Kyousuke's body.
On his back, six limb bones spread out in the shape of wings. They were connected to Kyousuke's body and became recognized as part of him. He was able to move them freely. Therefore, Rin was in charge of his body and Ei was in charge of his wings.
After securing the muscle strength from the slime body, the wisp's ability was strengthened, allowing it to perform powerful fire attacks. In addition, he can forcefully compensate for the lowered mobility while clad in armor with his flame boosters. At the moment, this was the best option.
By the way, the extra parts were assembled separately and attached to Goshogawara as Chibiscuiton, or Chibiscuit, the Chibiscuit.
(Okay, I get it. Okay, let's do it!
Kyousuke nodded and clenched his fists; the conversation between the three of them could not be heard around them.
As he kicked the floor, Ei erupted in a blaze of wing fire, his body accelerating at once. Kyousuke drew his right fist wide.
''Stream!''
Their breathing overlapped, and Rin's power multiplied in Kyousuke's fist.
''Bro-ooh!''
Released slightly upward, it is thrust into the dove-tail of the king of the dead spirits who has just stood up.
The power of dignity, amplified by Kyousuke's characteristics. The weight of the armor. And furthermore, the accelerating power of EI's increased firepower.
"Grip strength x weight x speed is!
Destructive power!
As it turned out, it would be the first physically effective strike that could be given against the Dead Spirit King. The fist dug deep into the pigeon tail and the King of the Dead Spirit let out a cry of anguish. Kyousuke further slammed a no-good follow-up strike with his left fist. With the sound of footsteps that make you feel the weight, the king of the dead spirits backing away with two or three steps.
Kyousuke lands directly on the floor and takes a Jeet Kune Do stance just like his soul master (Bruce Lee). The King of Death barked loudly and raised his six barbaric swords.
''Kyousuke, step back a bit!''
Ei said. Behind the King of the Dead, Ryuzaki and the others were clearing the rubble. If they didn't, there was a possibility of getting them involved.
''Okay!''
Kyousuke nodded and jumped backwards. The flames of the wings erupted in the opposite direction, carrying a considerable amount of weight Kyousuke and the others (Black Knight). The six blades only pierce the floor in the void.
''This is good, since I can focus on punching and kicking too, right?''
Rin says with a buzz. Indeed, there's little need to use your legs to move around. If you're going to strike each other, the movement will be mostly left to Ei. Of course, it is also necessary to ask Rin to step on it a little bit, if you are going to carry out a long-range attack with flames.
The final decision on that division of labor is made by Kyousuke. The full authority of action is basically left to Kyousuke. This was true in terms of the system of abilities, and it was also true in terms of Rin and Ei's opinion.
Kyousuke once again checked his surroundings.
The King of the Dead Spirit confronting them. Behind him were Kenzaki, Harui, Koganei and Washio. Not a single person in Koganei's group was missing. However, Koganei himself was just holding his head and shaking with a bobble. Spider Zaki, who had been so close to him, didn't even try to look at him.
And up ahead, across from the King of the Dead, were Ryuzaki, Sakuma, and Gokugawara. They are clearing away the debris, though.
''It's Okumura-kun.''
Rin said in a pout.
He was right. Okumura is trapped under the rubble. They are trying to rescue it.
''Kyousuke, if you want to save Okumura, you must first...''
"(I know! (Strike the King of the Dead before you, strike!)
The first thing to do was to cut down on his opponent's reach. Kyousuke took out the skeleton sword he had inserted into his back.
''Blaze Cutter!''
In response to Kyousuke's voice, the flames of his wings traveled down his arms and eventually propagated to his sword body. It was embarrassing to shout out the name of the technique alone, but this was Ei's order.
As Kyousuke kicked the floor, the black knight's body floated softly in the air. While flying through the air, he could use Rin's physical strength to wield a sword of fire. This is also one of the benefits of the three-person combination. As Kyousuke moves his wings, Ei accelerates his body in response.
I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them.
'O-ryaaaah!
Rin. A full-body kick countered the third sword. The fourth and fifth remaining kicks were also avoided by Ei's wings fluttering away.
The sixth one remained. I set my sights on that one.
'Seiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Wielding the Sword of Flame (Blaze Cutter), Kyousuke aimed at the second joint of the arm holding the barbaric sword. The momentum of the straight line was multiplied by Rin's physical strength, and the flames burned the skin of the dead spirit king. It was no karma, a spilled blade, but soon it ripped through flesh and severed bone, slicing off one of the six arms of the swirling sword.
Just then, Okumura's body emerged from the rubble. He's bleeding from all over, but he's still breathing.
''Kyousuke!
The moment I was distracted in that direction, a reprimand from Ei flew. He huffed. Immediately after, the barbaric sword of the King of the Dead Spirit struck and slammed vigorously against the wall of the labyrinth.
''Guh...!
"Utsurogi-kun!
At these times, it is Kyousuke, who naturally suffers the most damage, with his physical weaknesses. The wall caves in like a crater, waking up the body that was slammed into it.
''Huh, you two, bad...!
No, I'm fine! Where is Mr. Utsurogi? Can you move?
'Oh, yeah...'
The King of the Dead Spirit had turned his back to us and was walking towards Ryuzaki and the others. Not good. Okumura's rescue was not yet complete.
''Ryuzaki-kun! The King of the Dead!
Sakuma shouted out. Meanwhile, Ryuzaki was clearing away the debris single-mindedly. The same goes for Goshigawara.
''Mi, guys.... Enough about me, fatty, enough about me........
Okumura said in a breathless but surprisingly firm voice.
'Don't say it's good enough! I will help you. I will!
But if we don't do something, we'll have to go all the way to Ryuzaki and Shobungana...
Still, Ryuzaki didn't try to loosen his hands to remove the debris. The scales on his hands were peeling and blood was seeping through, but he still didn't hesitate. The same was true for Gokugawara. Sakuma was also prepared and used his magic to turn the debris into dust one by one. Even Chibiske, who had jumped off of Gofukawara's head, was desperately trying to clear the small stones.
Even as the King of Death was still closing in on him, Gokubugawara shouted.
''Okumura! You promised me in the hospital room! You're going to live with me, you're going to live for your sister!
!
Okumura's eyes, which had been on the verge of closing, snapped open.
'Yuh, Yukari-san! Whoa, whoa!
Okumura's body was filled with the last of his energy as he pushed the rubble away and tried to get up. Ryuzaki and the others also lifted the debris and tried to help Okumura escape.
They're all doing their best. We can't afford not to hold on here.
Kyousuke kicked the wall and leapt into the air. Ei's flames acted as a booster and thruster, pinning the black knight's body to the air.
'With your back to me, now is your chance. I'll decide here.''
At Kyousuke's words, I saw Rin and Ei silently show their agreement.
Of the six wings, two of them were attached to the two arms of the armor with their skeletons. These two were originally the bones of the arms. They put Ei's flames on Rin's physical strength with maximum firepower. In order to do so, the skeletons of the arms were bound together two by two.
Spreading the bound arms to the left and right, Kyousuke stared at the king of the dead spirits.
The flames gained momentum, enveloping the entire armor. Soon, the flames took the form of a phoenix with wings spread.
''Phoenix-uh!''
The three of them breathed firmly together. They accelerated their bodies all at once and swung their fists at each other.
''Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The black knight's body, clothed in flames, charges at the neck of the king of the dead. A fist that has been thrust into the neck with maximum firepower and maximum physical strength.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!
But the acceleration doesn't end there. In response to Kyousuke's cry, Ei erupts in more flames, and soon the phoenix, which spread its wings, completely devours its flesh, its bones.
'Sei, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The black knight's body pierced through as he burned through the Dead Spirit King's flesh, cutting its head both ways up and down, and the black knight's body pierced through; the Dead Spirit King, who had lost both of his two heads, raised his remaining arms and tried to walk away, but he quickly lost his strength and fell down. In order to keep him from falling towards Ryuzaki and the others, Kyousuke hit him with a light kick.
There was a thud, and the body of the King of the Dead Spirit sinks to the floor. Kyousuke landed slowly with his two wing limbs stuck to his arms and stared at the body of the King of the Dead Ghosts. There is no sign of movement, no sign of movement.
Apparently, it's really over. Kyousuke breathed a sigh of relief.
Behind him, Okumura seemed to have just escaped from under the rubble. He and Gokugawara hugged each other with tears streaming down their faces. The delinquent once known as the red chanko pot must have some deep drama. I overheard a glimpse of it, but I won't pursue it any further.
Now that the King of the Dead Spirit had been defeated, everyone's vigilance was turned to us.
Sakuma, Kenzaki, and the others, as well as Gokugawara, should have known that this Black Knight was Kyousuke and the others. However, the rest of the members did not. In addition, revealing their identities at this stage was not a good idea for the future of the class, I had a feeling that it was not a good idea. After all, he had defeated that King of the Dead Spirit.
If possible, acting and acting as if this black knight was under Ryuzaki's control here would have boosted his stock, but he hadn't been able to talk back yet.
Besides, even if Kyousuke and the others didn't do anything unnecessary here, Ryuzaki would have raised his stock in this case. They had seen him trying his best to help his classmates. At the very least, the students here must have reviewed Ryuzaki to some extent.
''I'd better leave without saying a word.''
Ei said.
''Yeah, I think so too,''
Okay. Then we'll do it.
Kyousuke nodded and began to walk towards the stairs leading up. He could see that Washio, Kumozaki and the others were blatantly frightened.
Apparently, this black knight is on par with the King of the Dead Spirit to them. It couldn't be helped.
While feeling a touch of loneliness, Kyousuke walks forward. When he suddenly looked up, he saw Koganei sitting there, hunched over. He, too, is turning his fearful eyes toward us. Kyousuke couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
''Koganei........''
The moment he blurted out a few words, Koganei let out a scream.
''Ta, help! Help me, don't kill me!
As it is, she clings to Kyousuke's leg as she squirms and cries out miserably.
''Oh, please! Please! I'll do anything, I, I'm the only one...!
They were all stunned by the sight of him.
It wasn't that Koganei Yoshiki was a strong-hearted student to begin with. Everyone knew that. He was able to stay strong because he had been able to use "strength" as an absolute indicator of his mental armor. Confidence makes a person strong. For better or for worse.
But does the mere removal of that armor make a man such a weak creature?
'Yes, it does. I don't care what happens to the rest of you! Please, please, please, just me....
When Kyousuke heard those words, he felt like a black flame burning in his heart.
What the hell is Koganei saying?
He smiled a flirtatious smile and said something like that, offering up the classmate who had helped him, who had followed him, without a care in the world. Is this really that Koganei? Sure, he couldn't read the air, but was it that Koganei who had a friendly smile on his face and didn't dare to call himself his best friend?
It was a feeling Kyousuke had never remembered before. The creature begging for help in front of him seemed awful and ugly.
'Yes, it is. What about those gryphons and arachnids over there........ They're my........gobbledygook!
The next thing I knew, Kyousuke had clenched his fist and punched Koganei in the face. There were screams from those around him.
As Koganei groaned and fell to the floor, Kyousuke pushed him further. Grabbing the chest with his left hand, he clenched his fist and punched him further. His head was turning red. In one corner, he he hears someone calling out to him, but he can't reach it.
''No, don't...suzu...''
His face contorts into a crumpled face and he slams a third fist into Koganei, who begs for forgiveness.
''Utsurogi-kun!
Rin's shout echoed in his brain, and Kyousuke stopped his fist with a snap.
''Himemizu........''
Let's not do this. This is not a good idea...
Her voice was a little shaky as it echoed in my head.
'It's true that you have to hit me to understand some things..., I might have said, but this is different...'
.........
Koganei was frightened as he was grabbed by the chest, and he was terrified. The image of him overlapped with the one he had been called to the back of the school building in his first year. Had I, by any chance, done to him what the delinquents were trying to do at that time? Strong self-loathing.
Kyousuke released Koganei's clothes and looked at his own right fist. Blood was stuck to the black basket hand (gauntlet). When Kyousuke saw that, he felt even more disgusted. Is this what it means to hit someone?
Koganei, who fell to the floor, looked up at Kyousuke with an expression that said he didn't understand. However, when he realized that he had apparently been saved, he felt relief and tried to back away.
It was then that the black fist caught Koganei once more.
Flames clinging to his arms and bound wing limbs. It burns more intensely. It's not Kyousuke who is moving it. It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about it. Without the slightest hesitation, he struck Koganei's face with two or three shots.
''Don't do it, Ei!
Kyousuke shouted. Rin screamed too.
''Hino-kun!''
He cut off his left arm and wing limbs and forcefully held down his right arm, which was still trying to hit Koganei.
'Why stop! Kyousuke, Himemizu! It's him! You know how much this guy has made you guys feel bad!
That doesn't mean you can't keep beating him to death!
I don't care!
Ei spits.
'I saved you from dying! So that's the reaction! What's the use of letting this guy live!
Ei!
Kyousuke yelled again. Would Washio and the others have heard this? But there was no time to worry about it.
''Eh, Utsurogi...? Hino...? Why, why...?
Koganei asks, holding his bloody face. Kyousuke shouts in a voice loud enough for only him to hear.
'Go quickly, Koganei! And don't tell anyone that this Black Knight is us!
Oh, um, yeah. Thank you...
Go!
When Kyousuke shouted, Koganei didn't say anything this time, but crawled to clear the path of Kyousuke and the others. As it was, he moved slyly to the rear where Ryuzaki, Washio and the others were waiting. Ei's anger didn't subside, but Kyousuke did his best to hold him back so he wouldn't touch him.
Ei has finally calmed down, but he says out loud, as if letting out his failed to dissipate emotions.
'Kyousuke, you're an idiot!
You're good at this, Ei.
After exchanging that many words, Kyousuke and the others left the fourth basement floor in a hurry.
