I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Asuka covered her mouth and laughed cutely, as if she was still recalling La Ting's embarrassed look when she hurriedly ran away from the two of them, but then her expression immediately overflowed with sadness.

"Unlike me, the power of this gift is so weak that it can only control companions to make them escape...but it always has no effect on the enemy."

The reason why Asuka, who deliberately distorted the integrity of his companions, doesn't want to go back at this time is partly because he is embarrassed that he doesn't know how to get along with Ren after meeting him.

"It's really useless... This is probably why I'm always excluded from them. I can't help at all."

Asuka stared at the dusty white lace gloves on his hands with a depressed expression, pulled them off and held them in his hands, clenching them into a ball.

As a participant in NoName, after receiving meticulous care from other members of the guild but failing to fulfill his due responsibilities for his partners every time, Asuka began to doubt himself. At the beginning of the Demon King's Gift game, she couldn't help but panic because of the powerlessness she felt when her companions were defeated one after another.

She always wanted to be strong, and at that time she even subconsciously complained about such useless thoughts as "Why didn't a strong partner show up to save the situation?"

After listening to Feiniao's words, which seemed to be talking to himself, Cheng Rang sighed silently in his heart.

Hey, it seems that except for Izayoi, the other two problem children are more or less over the top.

Whether it was Yao who played alone today or Asuka now, it seemed that because of himself and Izayoi, he was more or less doubting whether their existence in NoName was unnecessary.

This is not a good sign.

Unlike NoName, Lebra has a strong leader, Klaus, who can make people follow him with confidence and never give up, and a manager, Stephen, who can grasp the emotions of his subordinates at all times, adjust them appropriately, and understand people's hearts. gentlemen.

But here, there are only the ruins after the raging storm, the weak survivors, the young leader who is far from mature... and a few problems that came from other worlds and gave up everything to come here [Hakoniya] child.

The only one who can feel more at ease is Black Rabbit. As the Moon Rabbit clan's spirit of selfless dedication to their companions, even Cheng Rang can't help but admire her from the bottom of his heart. She can actually accompany Ren unwaveringly in such an environment. Hold on for such a long time. Maybe there are other reasons behind it, but overall it's amazing to be able to persevere.

If there are no common or sufficient interests and goals, Cheng Rang can foresee that more or less problems may arise within the community soon, leading to disagreements among the companions and resulting in division.

What's more, they all know that the enemy they must face in the end is to destroy the nameless Demon King. Under such strong pressure, it is not surprising that any problems will arise.

Compared to Jet O'Brien, the half-murloc apprentice with a strong heart and intelligence, perhaps the two girls in NoName need someone more like a "teacher" who can lead them to grow and move forward.

Cheng Rang couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

I can

Not a good teacher, he thought.

What's more, he probably isn't the one who can accompany them to the end...

Chapter 114: Gift Name: Powerful Light

The door of the stage operations headquarters was pushed open, and Sandora and Mandela entered the hall.

Sandora maintained a nervous expression and announced to the participants who looked at her after hearing the sound:

"We are going to attend the deliberation and resolution with the Demon King next. There are four people traveling with us - the first is the 'Hakoniwa Noble' Black Rabbit, and Salamandra sends Mandela. If anyone else is familiar with "Hamel's Piper" Please come forward to negotiate for the details."

"Does anyone volunteer?"

As Sandora's eyes glanced, commotion arose among the participants.

Black Rabbit has also said before that everyone knows that the scope of fairy tales is extremely limited. Even if some people have heard about the inheritance, there are still not many people who know the details.

When no one came forward, Izayoi grabbed Jin by the scruff of his collar.

"Jen Russell knows the Pied Piper of Hamel better than anyone else!"

"...Ah, ah?! Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Izayoi!" Hitoshi was shocked when he heard Izayoi's words.

Izayoi continued half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It's really familiar! Super familiar! Very useful! Regarding this incident, there is no one else who can contribute to Salamandra except Ren Russell, the leader of NoName. !”

"Renjun?"

Sandora looked here in surprise. Although she showed a childish reaction for a moment, she immediately shook her head and returned to a determined expression, "If no one else volunteers, then I have to ask Ren La from NoName. Serge, is that okay?”

Sandora's decision caused the commotion to expand again.

"Anonymous?" "Where does this community come from?" "Can you believe it?"

"Is he the one who participated in the finals and then gave up?" "This is too exaggerated..." "Hey, is there anyone else who can-"

Although there was a desire for others to come along, no one was willing to come forward voluntarily.

It’s natural for everyone to feel uneasy if ‘nameless’ is asked to serve as a representative to participate in a game negotiation meeting that will decide the fate of themselves and others.

Ren was also aware of this atmosphere and did not recommend himself. However, Izayoi whispered to him: "Are you a fool? Why did you follow me to study in the library every night? Of course you must take advantage of this opportunity to study hard. Play!”

"But, but..." Jin's eyes wandered. His purpose of going to the library every day was not just to introduce Hakoniwa to Izayoi. It is precisely because I lack talent that I study hard, hoping to contribute to the future of the community. Coincidentally, this game is just where my knowledge comes in handy.

"If you are concerned about the opinions around you, that's a good thing. If not wanting to cause trouble to anyone is your way of survival, little master, then I have nothing to complain about - but you are our leader, so you will definitely do it in the future. It’s a situation that you can’t resolve without asserting yourself. Am I wrong?”

After listening to Izayoi's words, Jin gritted his teeth and raised his head. At this moment, all the eyes around him were focused on him.

"You don't want to be called a parasite anymore, right? Didn't you say you want to change? Then show your handsome face to the people around you and step forward, our 'leader'?"

"Yes, it is!"

Jin was probably happy to be called a leader by Izayoi, and he responded with enthusiasm.

Izayoi seized the opportunity to carry Jin on his shoulders so that everyone around him could see him clearly.

"Okay, let's go, little sir! If this incident becomes famous here in the North District, let's officially print a leaflet! It should read: 'If you are troubled by the Demon King, please contact Ren Russell'!"

Ren blushed and shouted, "Hey! I...didn't I say absolutely not?! And I must write my name out?"

"Of course. Didn't we discuss that you want to spread your fame as a representative? If you don't want to do it anyway, then you can change it to 'If you are troubled by the Demon King, please contact Jen Russell'."

"That's weird, isn't it? What's the use of covering the places that don't need to be covered the least!"

Sandora and Black Rabbit looked at Jin who kept protesting and Izayoi who was noisy, and they both smiled in distress and sighed at the same time.

.....

On Feiniao's side, the suddenly heavy atmosphere made Cheng Rang, who was sitting next to him, feel a little suffocated. In the end, he couldn't stand the girl's loss. Cheng Rang sighed inaudibly, raised his hand and pressed Feiniao's head. top of head.

Feeling the warm touch on his head, Asuka looked at the girl doubtfully.

"That's not the case, please don't look down on yourself so much." She smiled and comforted herself softly, "To have the courage to face a strong enemy alone and to raise your hands to fight for the sake of your companions regardless of your own safety, in my opinion, this is It’s a very valuable thing.”

"Even though he was defeated, even though he was bruised and bruised, he did not beg for mercy from the enemy. This is quite remarkable for a child of your age~"

"Well..." Asuka lowered his head and remained silent with his cheeks slightly red.

Speaking of courage,

That was just a reckless behavior supported by her strong self-esteem. If she was not strong enough, there was no difference between her behavior and being stupid.

As if realizing that he didn't quite agree with this statement, Gracefield put down his hand and shrugged: "I would like to ask you, Asuka, what is your gift?"

Asuka subconsciously pressed the place where the gift card was stored at first, her eyes became wary, but then she was relieved and thought with self-deprecation: Miss Phil is obviously the one who saved me. If she is so powerful and has evil intentions, now There was only herself and her at the entrance of the realm wall mountain cave. She had no room to resist what she wanted to do.

She just wants to help herself, right? After thinking about this, Asuka took out the burgundy gift card and said: "It is probably the ability to control other people's minds with words. The name of the gift is 'power', but it seems to be more effective for those who have been controlled by more powerful abilities." It is ineffective, and it has little effect on people who are stronger than me..."

"However, it has recently been discovered that it seems that it can also control some other phenomena, such as turning the flame on a candle into a huge wall of fire... but the effect is not very stable."

"That's right." Gracefield nodded, and then asked: "As for the ability to 'control flames' that you discovered recently, do you think it was achieved under the attribute of 'dominance'?"

"Miss Phil, what do you mean...?"

"You said that 'power' is the ability to control other people's minds, but in my opinion, if you just 'control' something, it will not change the strength of the dominated person, right? It will not even have an effect on people who are more powerful than you. , but the newly discovered 'manipulation' of candlelight in your mouth can make it achieve a 'huge wall of fire', an effect that clearly breaks through the upper limit of the intensity of the candle itself, should it be contrary to the simple effect of 'dominance' alone, right?"

yes! Asuka suddenly came to his senses. If it was just manipulation, it should not be able to make a candle as weak as starlight burn into a giant screen several feet high. Is there any change that he did not expect?

"Let's test it out!"

Just as Asuka was immersed in thought, Gracefield stood up and slapped his butt. He shook the long stick at hand and turned it into a short metal handle like a flashlight.

"Eh? This is it?"

Under Asuka's puzzled gaze, she clapped the bottom of the short metal handle in her hand, and with the sound of the air being penetrated by the high-heat ion beam, a long sword composed of "light" carried a sword that cut through the air. Astonishing heat appeared before his eyes.

"This is the power of high technology. In our place, it has a name that perfectly suits its appearance - lightsaber."

Gracefield just handed the hilt of the sword that exuded heat and dazzling light into his hand, and then said:

"Try to use your ability to make it bigger? After all, if it is a pure technological creation, the effect it can achieve every time it is turned on is basically the same, and it will not become stronger or weaker inexplicably. . Then only when there is additional unexplainable power blessing, can we prove the nature of the power of your gift itself, whether it is a simple 'control' or a gift with other higher possibilities."

Chapter 115 Additional Rules Eliminating the Right to Participate

Boundary wall stage area, grand festival operation headquarters - VIP room.

Black Rabbit announced in a serious tone: "Then, let's start the deliberation and negotiation of the gift game [The PIED PIPER of HAMELIN] now."

Opposite Izayoi's group, sat the girl in a black and white spotted dress, with Weiser in military uniform and Lating in white standing on either side of her.

Unlike the indifferent girls who still looked elegant and tidy, both La Ting and Weser seemed a little embarrassed, but La Ting was even worse.

Black Rabbit: "First of all, I need to ask the organizer about this game..."

"Nothing is missing."

Pest interrupted Black Rabbit's speech and said disdainfully: "There is no missing or illegal part in this game. It is a game that has been fully planned even for Shiro Yaksha's seal and the conditions for breaking the game. There is no The grounds must be subject to review.”

"Then let's deal with it directly? My rabbit ears are connected to the center of the small garden, so even if I lie, I will be exposed immediately?"

"Yes." Pest nodded, "Also, under this premise, I would like to propose something first. We are now forced to interrupt the game because we have suffered unjust injustice. In other words, you are asking the sacred The game makes boring interference...you know what I mean?"

She looked at Shandora calmly, while Shandora gritted her teeth unwillingly and said in a deep voice: "It means that in case there is no improper behavior...it must be done again on conditions favorable to the organizer. Let the game begin."

"That's right, let's negotiate about adding new rules later."

"...I understand." Sandora responded softly.

"Black Rabbit."

"Yes." Black Rabbit, who seemed a little shaken, nodded. She did not expect that the other party would show such a firm attitude.

She looked up at the sky, shook her rabbit ears slightly, and began to communicate with the center of the small garden.

:9.,3h:""6!,1:3";5."

Izayoi took advantage of this time to whisper to Mandela who was standing behind him: "Let me tell you, to what extent does something considered inappropriate in the game?"

"How dare you come here if you don't even know about this kind of thing?" Mandela smacked his tongue and explained, "The participants' lack of ability and knowledge does not mean that the gift game itself is lacking. No matter what Whether you are ordered to kill the undead race or to fly in the sky, it is the person who cannot do it that has their own problems. In this case, even if the knowledge passed down by "The Piper of Hamel" is needed in order to crack the game, It’s also ‘the participants who don’t understand are at fault’.”

"That's really unreasonable."

"To talk about possible deficiencies in this game, the first is ShiroYasha's seal. Although the contract document states that she participated, she is unable to participate in the war. This cannot be ignored. This part should have a clearly documented main reason."

"But what was written was only the sentence 'break the hypocritical inheritance and establish a real inheritance'..." Izayoi held his chin to sort through the information, and the conversation between the two was interrupted.

After the communication between Black Rabbit and Hakoba's center was over, she lowered her head in embarrassment and said: "I received Hakoba's answer. There is nothing missing or illegal in this game. Shiroyasha-sama's seal is also based on legitimate methods."

The sound of everyone gnashing their teeth resounded in the VIP room, and now the participants would be completely at a disadvantage.

Pest, who had closed her eyes to rest, opened her eyes and said, "Then, I will add the rules."

Everyone could not refute and could only continue to listen.

"On the participant side, one person whose strength is above three-digit level needs to be eliminated. Above."

Pest's speech caused everyone on the participant side to explode.

"What?!"

"More than three digits?!" "How can there be such a person here on the lower level!"

"Does that mean that Lady Shirayaksha will be completely eliminated from the game? But she has obviously been sealed..."

But no matter how surprised the participants were, Pest's expression did not change at all.

This seemed to be an additional condition that she had planned long ago.

Only Jin and Izayoi on NoName's side suddenly became solemn. They looked at each other and saw the shocking surprise in each other's eyes.

"Izayoi...could it be that the person the Demon King wants to eliminate from the game is..."

"Ah, yes." Izayoi nodded with a serious expression, "Although I really don't want to admit that that guy has such terrifying strength, he should be the only one who is right."

"You seem to know who is going to be kicked out of the game?" Cold sweat broke out on Mandela's forehead. He looked at Jin and Izayoi who were playing riddles in front of him, "We knew very well that we did not invite the higher-ups to this festival. The guild exists to participate!”

Izayoi smiled evilly, crossed his legs, and turned around, "Who said a guy with double-digit strength must be from an 'upper-level' guild?"

(Sure enough, even if he has never been seen, this guy Cheng Rang has been participating in this game... What on earth is he doing?)

Izayoi, who couldn't figure out where Cheng Rang was, raised his hands helplessly: "Then there's no other way, I'll be picked off like this..."

"It's not you."

"Well...."
