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

"Let's just treat it like that." Xia You said casually, and came to the store with Xiao Mo to order the chocolate cake she had her eye on.

The clerk handed a pick-up card made of cardboard to Xiao Mo.

"Little sister, please come and get it within this date. Don't lose it."

Xiao Mo took the card and put it away carefully.

"Um!"

.....

The cake delivery card soaked in blood was taken out of Xiao Mo's arms tremblingly and handed to Xia You.

【Yayyo Cake Shop, please use this card to collect your cake within 30 days. 】

The gilded text was a little blurry under the dark red blood, but it was still legible.

"....You still keep it, I forgot about it."

Xia You suddenly realized, reached out to take the card in Xiao Mo's hand, turned it over and looked at it.

"Ah, but it's a pity that it has expired. Although I paid a deposit, I still have to pay the final payment to get it... It should have been put up for sale in the store."

"How...could...? Did Xiayou forget his birthday?"

"Ah, is it my birthday?" Xia You smiled and touched Xiao Mo's head.

"——Don't worry about boring things like that."

A black vortex emerged behind Xia You amid the surge of spell power.

[The ultimate in magic spells]

"Because we'll be together forever soon."

【--swirl】

Xiao Mo slowly opened his eyes with a puzzled expression, and an irresistible attraction came from the black vortex that appeared behind Xia You.

"....Xia You?"

"Do you want to be with me forever, Xiao Mo?"

A powerful storm of spells scattered out along with large pieces of spell spirits roaring out of the vortex, forcing Maki back. And Cheng Rang also realized that something was wrong because Xiao Mo suddenly disappeared in front of him, so he rushed over.

"What's going on?!" Maki stared at the huge curse pouring out of the whirlpool and asked Cheng Rang who came to her side.

"He wants to absorb Xiao Mo...but it's hard to imagine that he can succeed in doing so."

Curse Spirit Manipulation is a technique that can control the subjugated curse spirit for one's own use and control it freely. According to the level conversion, if the difference is more than two levels, you can save the need to surrender and obtain the curse spirit almost unconditionally.

The precision of the absorbed spell spirit's spell will no longer grow from the moment it is absorbed.

By targeting a level 1 or above cursed spirit and using the Kyokuban "Whirlpool", you can extract the cursed spirit's spells and transfer the cursed spirit's spells to the body, so that the magician himself has multiple spells, but The accuracy of the technique obtained in this way cannot be improved.

"Then wouldn't it be terrible after he absorbed Xiao Mo!?" Maki immediately slashed with sword wind to interrupt, but was surrounded by

The black mask around the two people bounced off.

"The attack is ineffective?!"

It was clear that this blow could seriously injure Xiao Mo just now, but now it was bounced away.

"It's useless... Xiao Mo was absorbed voluntarily." Cheng Rang spat and tightened the long knife in his hand, "With your attack, you still can't defeat Xiao Mo instantly and save his [life]. A protective wall that condenses for bondage.”

"Then we just watch?!"

"Be prepared to have a good fight, or you can persuade Xiao Mo to change his mind during this period..." Cheng Rang sighed.

"I knew she valued her friends very much, but I didn't expect her obsession to be so strong. I'm afraid she valued her relationship with those curse spirits so much that it was impossible for me to persuade her to kill three of her friends with my own hands. Come back to her.”

"Then we can only wait for Xia You to absorb her and then fight to the death?!" Maki shouted in disbelief.

"Based on the current development...that's about right."

Cheng Rang raised his hand and put it on Maki's shoulder, finished releasing the healing and dispersing techniques, and then poured out a bunch of bottles and jars of stuff from his backpack.

"Drink." Cheng Rang grabbed a bottle and handed it to Maki's hand.

"What's this?"

"You can't let the enemy keep getting stronger. You have to fill up on the medicine when you fight the boss. Have you never played a game?"

"ha?!"

Just when Maki was still hesitating whether to pour the strange smelling liquid into her stomach, unexpected reinforcements arrived.

"Sister Maki! Doctor Cheng!"

"Kugizaki?!"

Cheng Rang and Maki both cast surprised glances at Kugisaki who ran here panting. Kugisaki was also startled by the black hood that exuded a huge curse aura in the center of the field.

Maki waved her hands quickly and shouted: "What are you doing here! Leave now!"

"I can save Xiao Mo!" Kugizaki did not retreat but advanced, facing the storm composed of curses and approaching the Black Hood.

It turns out that after being separated from Nanami, Kugisaki and Arata were hiding in the station and met Xiaomo's clone.

It has been known before that in order to exchange information and contain magicians, there will be clones of Xiaomo everywhere in Shibuya, but their power is very small, and some cannot even reach the standard of being able to fight.

Although the memories between clones can only be shared after returning to the original body, they can be transmitted in real time within a [certain distance].

This is why after Gojo Satoru was sealed, the memories brought to the original body by the released clone were immediately spread throughout Shibuya Station and its surroundings.

What appeared at Kugisaki's location was an [intelligence type] clone, one of the clones without combat capabilities.

According to the explanation of Xiao Mo who appeared, she found Kugisaki by following the traces of power from the same source. Because she could not control and sense this individual with power, she came to check it out out of curiosity.

In the end, he found Rose Kugizaki, who inherited part of the clone's power.

At this point, Kugisaki learned that Xiaomo, as the real body, did not know the memory of the clone in his own domain who "died" in the playground incident.

"I will give this power back to you."

Regarding the power that does not belong to him, Kugisaki expressed his desire to return it. Even though the two parties are enemies now, he owes Xiao Mo his life. This is an irrefutable fact.

After reading the memory inherited from Kugizaki's body, the intelligence-type individual immediately betrayed her.

[Fake Xiayou is just using his true nature through the continuous cultivation of feelings. The so-called true friendship should not be like that. 】

No matter how many false sweet words you say, it can't compare to sacrificing your life to save your companions without saying a word.

Then the intelligence-type individual sensed that the main body was about to die, and urged Kugisaki to go immediately and return the memory.

[Because the main body has opened an external barrier, even if I lift it now, this weak power and memory will not be absorbed, so you must send it. 】

The intelligence type clone dissipated into black mist, and then condensed into a hard obsidian bead, which fell into the palm of Kugisaki's hand.

"Please save 'me' from 'my' hands...Kugizaki-sama!!"

————————————————

Looking at the manic black hood in front of him, Kugizaki clasped the black bead in his hand and strode away.

"I have to tell her...the so-called friend who can truly sacrifice for you will not always smile and say things that make you happy!"

"A true friend will scold you and hit you to wake you up when you are confused!"

"Or when you fall into despair, she will pull you out of the quagmire, even though she knows she will fall into it later!"

Then he smiled and said to you: Leave it to you.

"So give me back my best friend who has been through life and death, you greasy monk!"

The majestic black magic power burst out instantly, wrapped around Kugizaki's right fist, and then violently penetrated the wall in front of the two of them in the next second, grabbing Xiao Mo's hand.

"This is also your memory. Now...it's my turn to save you, Xiao Mo."

The ink-colored orb separated from the main body seemed to open a circuit the moment the two came into contact, turning into a flow of energy that surged from Kugisaki's hand into Xiaomo's body.

The mixed memories, feelings, and definition of friends... every bit of how Kugisaki and Kugisaki supported each other and moved forward in the maze are all poured into it!

A birthday that only happens once a year...

[But how long is one year...? 】

Xiao Mo also wanted to have a birthday. I heard that on your birthday, your friends will surround you and the cake, clap your hands and sing Happy Birthday together.

Xiao Mo has been secretly learning this song for a long time just for this moment...

Wish you... a happy birthday~

"...Give me, wake up!"

As Kugisaki screamed at the top of his lungs, the girl closed her eyes tightly in the inky vortex.

Finally slowly opened his eyes.

Chapter 171: It’s fashionable

At this moment, Xia You felt obvious resistance when the vortex was absorbed.

Xiao Mo began to resist his own extraction.

In the turbulent black storm surrounding the three of them, Xiao Mo did not turn around and leave, but stared at himself quietly.

"Xia You... have you been using me? Is the friendship between us... fake?"

The strong wind blew Xia You's long hair away, and he danced wildly in the air with his teeth and claws. The cassock on his body made a rustling sound, and he raised the corners of his mouth.

"Of course I'm using you."

He answered without hesitation.

"Then if you are willing to sacrifice yourself for me..."

"Of course it's also fake."

"Why did you lie to me?"

"Because I have been lying to people all my life, even to the end."

Not far away were Cheng Rang and Maki who were waiting for him. The extraction of the whirlpool spells was also stalled due to Xiao Mo's active resistance. Even the remaining spell spirit couldn't survive a single spell in Maki's hands. Not to mention Cheng Rang, who was much stronger than her.

Everything seems to be settled.

Xiao Mo's expression was complicated, and she still asked Xia You one question after another without giving up.

"At that time...you were the only one willing to play with me..."

"That's because I know you are the most suitable pawn for me to achieve my goal."

"But you were still willing to take me to play, and you taught me a lot... You took me to an amusement park, tasted ice cream... and even went to an izakaya -"

No matter how capricious his request was, Xia You would smile gently and nod and say, "Okay."

"Those...are all important means to tie you to me." Xia You smiled dryly as if giving up on himself. The terrifying vortex formed by the spell shrank, and the storm gradually subsided.

He took the initiative to let go of Xiao Mo and slowly sat cross-legged on the ground.

It seems that he is no longer struggling, waiting for the final death to come.

"All of this is just a [means] to achieve my ultimate goal, although at a certain moment, I want to change this goal."

"Then Xia You! What is your ultimate goal?!" Xiao Mo shouted in disbelief. Compared with the wounds that nearly penetrated her body, the scars in her heart that seemed to have gained emotions made her feel more painful, and she kept crying. Tears dripped from her eyes, and her eyes, as bright and innocent as the stars in the dark night, trembled slightly.

"In the beginning..." The smile on Xia You's lips seemed to be stiff because he saw Xiao Mo crying. He was startled, then slowly shook his head and said: "Forget it, don't mention it, now I'm just a person who was promised [Restrained] Fool.”

"Restraint?"

"Besides, my name is not Xia Youjie." Xia You pointed at his head, "This is just a body I occupy. My real name is - Liao Ao!"

The whole body is full of blood Instantaneous recovery

Since the memory of the person who occupies it can be obtained, it is still possible to rely on these memories to maintain the original social relationship.

But no matter how many bodies it occupies, it will never be the same.

Just for his own purposes, he uses everyone around him and does everything he can...

"I don't want to say anything else..." The old man walked over to the side of the river and held the umbrella in his arms! �

"After living for so long, I understand that now I can't escape from the hands of the Sword God..."
