I'll kill you after I finish this game!

It let out a roar that turned from pain to madness, and the combination of the boy and the puppy disappeared from the eyes of the evil moon guishiro.

What appeared before them was a ferocious wolf with even more uncontrollable speed, savagery, and demonic nature!

The shockwave from the opponent blew everything away, pulverizing it into molecular form without leaving any trace.

The silver wolf, as big as a mountain, roared with a large amount of blood flowing from, or rather gushing from, its right eye, presenting a very strange and ferocious appearance!

This is the ferocious nature of a yokai before it becomes a shikigami. This state is irrational and uncontrollable, which is why it was sealed away by Yagyō.

In this beast-like state, the opponent can no longer be called a nocturnal shikigami, because the opponent will attack itself as well.

It will destroy everything in sight, leaving nothing behind!

"roar----!!!!!"

It swept away the clouds in the sky and pushed aside any flames on the ground. With a roar came a devastating shockwave!

Further chaos descended upon this battlefield, which was no longer a place where living beings could survive; it was a true battlefield of carnage.

"boom--!"

The silvery-white light clashed indiscriminately, tearing the earth apart as easily as shredding paper.

The earth shattered, the sky cracked, and beings beyond human comprehension fought each other.

This was no longer a scene that could be described as a disaster; the storm of death swept over everyone indiscriminately, friend or foe.

"Grumble, can't you even control your own dog?!"

Seeing the huge silver wolf go out of control and even attack its own master, Ye Xing, Jiu Ding Zi Zhi was not only caught in the crossfire and furious, but also wantonly mocked the man!

In the next instant, the Mirage Tower reappeared beside Jiu Ding Zi Zhi, and this time, she was in a more difficult situation due to her ability to teleport.

Because the possible range of movement was reduced due to Silver Wolf's out-of-control outburst.

Therefore, a location that is just enough to reach the area where you can travel at night is sufficient!

"pound--!"

A punch powerful enough to deliver a powerful blow to the Earth's atmosphere, aimed directly at Ye Xing's handsome face.

The fist struck Nightwalker's protective spell, but although it didn't break through, it still exposed an opening.

"Cough! Take this—"

Mibu Soujiro was injured and bleeding from the impact of the silver wolf. Seeing that Modara Night Walk had revealed an opening, he revealed a ferocious smile of a sword demon and swung his sword without hesitation. Even if Shiori was in the middle, it would be the same. He would just kill them all!

"Tsk——"

Realizing that he couldn't use a more powerful spell to protect himself or dodge in that instant, Ye Xing clicked his tongue in annoyance, then immediately threw out a handful of talismans and chanted an incantation at high speed:

"【Akadha Sudatta Kshatriya—An Sudhamani Svaha—】"

The Rune Realm, a small world composed of runes, materialized and wrapped around Ye Xing's body, while other runes transformed into spears that retaliated against the two.

"Goo-ah—!" X3.

The three were simultaneously knocked away, then simultaneously adjusted their positions to dodge and launch a defensive counterattack against the roaring silver wolf.

Using her potential clones, Shiori guided the out-of-control Silver Wolf toward the Mikado mother and daughter, further muddying up the situation and making it chaotic.

This time, everyone is truly going to be seriously injured.

The mother and daughter, Yumen, were struggling against the silver wolf, which was not bound by the laws of physics. Their cooperation only exacerbated their injuries.

Silver Wolf would even attack the previously displeased Xiong Yue siblings, overwhelming four formidable opponents single-handedly and causing them immense suffering.

If things continue like this, it will probably end in mutual destruction.

Having fought to this extent, it's indeed time to call it a day.

Let's leave it at that for now.

The remaining Mikado mother and daughter who were fighting desperately, the Kyouzuki siblings, Mibu Sojiro and Kujou Shiori, as well as the Night Walker and the out-of-control Silver Wolf, all came to a standstill.

As if everything had frozen, first time and space were suspended, then cause and effect and reality were modified and reversed, and the battlefield suddenly returned to the original snowy scene in a daze.

The chaotic battlefield seemed unreal, like a dream or an illusion. Only their physical fatigue and injuries reminded them that it was not a hallucination.

A cold yet authoritative voice suddenly rang in their ears, and the nine beings in the arena who were able to move again turned their gazes toward the black figure under the sun on the first viewing platform.

The sudden halt... could it be...?

“If you continue fighting, you will all perish together. A martial arts tournament without a winner is meaningless.”

Under the excited gazes of the capable ministers and generals on the viewing platform, the Divine Emperor offered a nonchalant explanation.

Those on the battlefield who could only perform minimal activities exchanged glances and remained silent, while Yumen Ryusui breathed a sigh of relief.

Others may have doubts about the explanation of the Emperor's words to stop the proceedings, but for Mikado Ryusui, who can see countless futures, what His Highness the Emperor said is the absolute truth.

There's almost a 99% chance that the future will end in total annihilation and death, so she and her mother would naturally be willing to stop.

But since the outcome is still undecided, what should we do?

"Now I will give the nine Imperial Ministers two choices. First, if you have no desire to continue fighting, I may once again declare you nine as the victors."

The choice made at the outset brought a look of excitement and surprise to the eyes of the Xiong Yue siblings and the Yu Men mother and daughter. They all had their own purposes, all for the rewards that followed victory.

If it could end now and they could win, they would have no objections.

However, the others did not think that way. Mibu Soujiro, his cheek stained with blood, had temporarily calmed down, but he still exuded a mad aura that seemed intent on destroying everything. He asked the God Emperor:

"And what is the second option, Your Majesty?"

Unlike the Fiend and the Mibu, who showed excitement and joy, this was the most blissful moment for Mibu Sojiro, for whom the meaning of his life lay in this battle.

This is the reward he wants, and it's what he desires.

Since the God-Emperor respects everyone's desires, he naturally has to speak them out.

The expressions of the Xiong Yue siblings and the Mikado mother and daughter were not very good upon hearing this. They had also seen on the battlefield that Mibu Munejiro was a sword demon whose true nature did not match his handsome appearance.

This being was not one to be easily stopped, as was Jiu Ding Zi Zhi. She spoke very respectfully to the God Emperor:

"I can't agree with the result that didn't produce a winner. I'd like to hear about the second option."

As she spoke, Jiuding Zizhi kept her fist clenched as if she wanted to punch someone, and her eyes kept glancing at Moduoluo Yexing.

Modoro Nightwalker was no pushover; with a frivolous and cheerful smile on his face, he said:

"I'm open to either of your two choices."

Whether it's victory or continuing the fight, Modoro no Yako accepts it all.

He was determined to keep fighting; he feared no one.

From behind the curtain, the Emperor's words came out calmly:

"You are all the strongest survivors. It would be a pity if any of you were to fall in the battle. You can say that you have already won. Now I will give you a guide who can bring this struggle to a perfect end."

A perfect farewell...the guide?

So, it's an enemy that they all need to target together?

Apart from the remaining irrational wolves, the other eight people on the battlefield were all very clever and thought of this.

The God Emperor said they had won, but stopping the fight halfway through was really unsatisfying for some people.

"Regardless of the outcome, you will receive the rewards that you deserve as victors."

Suddenly, while everyone was thinking, a strange yet bold female voice rang out from the battlefield.

Everyone shuddered and was startled; something they hadn't noticed at all suddenly spoke.

There should only be nine survivors from the battlefield, which means the owner of this voice is...

Following the sound, what came into view was a stunning and powerful female warrior.

Matilda stood amidst the pure white snow, her eyes and long hair shimmering with the light of a crimson lotus. Though incomparably beautiful and breathtakingly gorgeous, calling her a lady would be too intense, and calling her a heroine would be too elegant. Her face, characterized by strong, sword-like eyebrows, concealed an incredible tranquility, giving one the feeling of a sword-like beauty between her brows.

Her fiery hair, fluttering with powder, and her dazzling, eye-catching beauty were only a small part of her powerful and determined face, yet it was already so radiant and magnificent.

Wearing a black cloak and a slightly long undershirt, with no sword at her waist, and only a single garment as armor, she wore black boots with gleaming spurs. Although her outfit appeared to be a simple and practical one, she exuded a perfect aura that made her opponents feel 'unable to fight her,' possessing an overwhelming sense of dignity and presence.

The word "beautiful" alone is insufficient to describe this woman.

“My name is Matilda. If you don’t want to fight, just lose to me. Anyway, this is just a final curtain call to avoid you all dying together.”

With a beautiful smile that was both friendly and striking, Matilda uttered words that showed utter contempt for everyone present.

Although you could tell from the other person's words that they didn't mean that, they were asking if they were still willing to fight.

Their attention was focused on the Ominous Moon siblings and the Mikado mother and daughter, while they didn't look at Yagyou and Sojiro.

"Huh? You want me to throw the match and let them go?"

With a nasty sneer, Kyouzuki Keishiro sneered at the foreign woman who had suddenly appeared.

Although his goal was to win directly and receive the reward, he had no concept of holding back in life.

"Quite the opposite!"

Matilda made no reaction to Keishiro's hostile attitude, her own figure shining like the most dazzling presence, as she said to him with a detached and confident attitude, "Given your thoughts, I might go easy on you a little."

Her eyes were calm yet intense, and her words sounded arrogant, but judging from the oppressive aura she exuded, this woman was definitely not one to put on airs.

Although it wasn't just empty boasting, these words genuinely provoked hostility from all the arrogant individuals present.

"Although we don't really understand it, it seems like we're being underestimated."

Regaining her composure, Kujiro Shiori responded to Matilda with a cheerful smile. As for herself, she didn't dislike this woman who had suddenly appeared.

He was dazzling and handsome, and his fiery demeanor and presence seemed to infect others. Jiuding Zizhi could sense that the other party was not mocking them.

He was simply speaking calmly, honestly, and without any pretense.

"I feel the same way. Although we have to fight, you are the second person to break my normal understanding of women, even though it's our first time meeting."

Mibu Sojiro unleashed a burst of ruthless killing intent. Since this person was the one who was about to make his final appearance, it would definitely be very satisfying to cut him down.

The other party was very strong, possessing a powerful presence that was different from the Jiuding Zizhi he knew.

Burning and dazzling, powerful and real.

Pure people can communicate very well with each other, and they know what to do next.

"Your Excellency, hmm... it seems I also have a reason to fight."
