Yes, I did all of this!

"Demon Puppet, kill Cangyi!"

With a casual gesture, Poison Vine commanded the demonic puppet to meet the attack.

Without any reluctance, the demonic puppet charged forward, its heavy fist aimed at Cangyi, but the latter easily dodged it, leaving several slash marks on its body.

In terms of physical fitness, Cangyi, which is only on par with Huangyi, is naturally no match for it. Even with superior technique and power generation skills, it cannot overcome such a huge gap.

However, any attack is meaningless if it misses, and the most important thing is that Cangyi's reaction speed is precisely his strength. Therefore, whether it is a long war of attrition or a short battle, Cangyi always has an absolute advantage.

His body dodged the fists, occasionally unleashing a few sword energies. Looking at the slash marks on the demonic puppet, Cangyi frowned.

She understood that even if she couldn't be defeated by the demon puppet, it was unlikely that she could kill it in a short time, as its skin was still too tough.

Raising his hand, Cangyi unleashed lightning to block the poisonous vines from attacking Huangyi. Ignoring Huangyi's surprised gaze, Cangyi continued his battle with the demonic puppet.

"Damn you, Azure Wing... You really are on the magical girl's side!"

After breaking free from the lightning, Poison Vine cursed angrily and was about to launch another attack on Radiant Wing when a dark fireball crashed to the ground and appeared in front of Poison Vine.

Without a word, the sun burst forth from the flames, closing in on the unsuspecting poisonous vines, unleashing a fierce attack in an instant.

"My late senior."

Seeing this, Huang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at her injuries, Yuhi parried the attacks of the poisonous vines, remained silent for a while, and said, "It will take some time to deal with those monsters. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Normally or in the past, Xi Ri would never have said such a thing, but perhaps Duanmu Mo changed her mind, or perhaps she was determined to make a change herself, and Xi Ri said a rare thing to Huang Yi.

Huang Yi was stunned for a moment; even Du Man couldn't have imagined that Xi Ri would say such a thing.

Seeing her expression, Poison Vine gritted her teeth and said angrily, "You've changed, Sunset."

This is not the Xia Yan she wanted to see at all. Under this kind of spirit, Xi Ri cannot ignite a black flame, and her goal will never be achieved.

Has it changed? Perhaps.

Xi Ri remained calm and composed, recalling the time she spent with Duanmu Mo, a faint smile appearing on her face: "I feel very honored by this change."

"hateful!"

Even such a smile was enough to enrage Poison Vine. She shouted at the empty side, "Come out here! Bring the most desperate pain to Radiant Wing!"

boom--

The ground cracked, and four four-armed monsters tore through the ground with vines from their heads and crawled out of the sewers.

Although their strength is not as great as the demon puppets, the four of them attacking together will still cause trouble for Huangyi. If Huangyi is not careful, he will naturally die instantly.

As the plants grew, the four-armed monsters' fingernails became sharp, and they attacked from all four directions simultaneously.

Not daring to be careless, Huangyi nimbly dodged away.

Sunset tried to help, but was stopped by the poisonous vines:

"Yuhi! You think I'm someone you can mess with?!"

The fist collided with the vine once more. As Yuhi watched the black lines flash across her face, she recalled the black aura that appeared when the poisonous vine's body was cut to pieces a few days ago.

—The flames erupted once more, and Poison Vine's body was inevitably ignited. Her body twitched slightly, but still maintained its shape, locked in a stalemate with the setting sun.

Meanwhile, Cangyi glanced at the four-armed monsters and then ignored them, continuing to fight the demonic puppets.

She understood what these four-armed monsters were capable of, and what they were doing was similar to what she herself was doing.

With four arms and four enemies, Huangyi was eventually grazed by the four-armed monster's attack. Its claws scratched her arm, and a pained cry escaped her lips.

A familiar sensation spread through his body once again; it was the effect of the toxins. Although he didn't know what these toxins were for, Huang Yi still dared not underestimate them.

She had to eliminate all the enemies before the poison took effect—that was the gist of it, but then, she began to hallucinate.

"Hmm..."

Clutching her head, Huang Yi suddenly stopped, staring blankly ahead. In the direction of her gaze, a figure lay on the ground, stained with blood—a person wearing a black trench coat…

The four-armed monsters around him also stopped moving, their vines stretching out above their heads, releasing a toxin that intensified Huangyi's hallucinations.

“It seems I’ve arrived just in time.”

Just as Huangyi was about to see what the figure looked like, a voice suddenly rang out. Kamen Rider Neville appeared on the rooftop and let out a mocking laugh.

"Neville?!"

Just as the poison was about to take effect, Duanmu Mo's appearance attracted the attention of the poisonous vine, and a sense of foreboding rose in its heart.

"What are you doing? I didn't call you here!" Poison Vine shouted, her face pale.

She did not inform Duanmu Mo about this operation, one of the reasons being that Du Man felt that such a matter did not require much effort, and that the strange people under her command were sufficient.

—Of course, the main reason is that Neville is asking for too much. Even with half the city's monsters supporting her, she can feel that the monsters' energy is gradually decreasing. If she continues to extract energy without restraint, these monsters may be completely drained before Neville's greed is satisfied.

However, even without summoning Duanmu Mo, he would come on his own—he had been observing from the sidelines for a long time, and now it was time for him to appear.

"What's the rush? I'm on your side, Lord Poison Vine."

Raising his hand, Duanmu Mo flicked the black mist spear, pointing it at Huang Yi:

"Given our friendship, why are you being so polite about helping you defeat the magical girl?"

"What are you going to do? Wait..."

Poisonous Vine was startled and tried to stop him, but it was too late. As Duanmu Mo pulled the trigger, a large number of bullets poured out and shot towards Huang Yi.

The bullet struck Huangyi, scattering sparks and causing a sharp, intense pain to spread instantly.

"Oh no!"

The pain caused Huangyi to cry out in agony and involuntarily back away.

Although the movements were clumsy, the illusion that was about to materialize vanished without a trace in an instant.

After an unknown amount of time, the black mist gun finally stopped firing, its muzzle glowing red and emitting smoke. Huangyi, who had been the target of the concentrated fire, lay on the ruins, panting heavily as he tried to get up.

"What have you done?!"

Anger began to surface on Du Man's face. She actually abandoned the sunset that was so close at hand and lashed out with her whip at Duanmu Mo, who was landing from the rooftop.

With a sharp crack, Duanmu Mo was struck solidly by the vine whip, letting out a muffled groan and staggering back a few steps.

Duanmu Mo raised his hand and tapped his shoulder: "Ouch—you hit my wound, the serious injury I got from fighting Cangyi not long ago. It's my 'weak point' now. Is this how you treat me when I'm fighting while injured?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Cangyi glanced at Duanmu Mo's shoulder, then looked away without saying anything.

"You ruined my plans!"

The poisonous vines roared, blocking the sun's attack.

Duanmu Mo simply said "Oh," took out his black iron greatsword, and walked towards Huangyi.

"Once you defeat the magical girl, you can carry out whatever plan you want. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Seeing Neville approaching him, Huangyi slowly stood up, panting heavily as he assumed a fighting stance.

Neville smiled slightly, raising his black iron greatsword and pointing it at Huangyi:

"Come on, magical girl, are you ready to face failure for the Poison Vine plan?"

Chapter 84: Remnants of the Past (Part 2)

Huangyi's current condition is definitely not good. Although the toxins that caused her pain no longer create hallucinations in her mind, they still interfere with her concentration.

As for Duanmu Mo... Judging from his words, he sustained considerable damage when facing Cangyi, especially in his shoulder area. Attacking from that spot might be quite effective.

Without much hesitation, Neville and Huangyi immediately engaged in battle, their greatswords and katanas clashing, the friction of the blades sparking a great deal of fire.

Seeing the flashing light of the sparks, Huangyi, whose mind was still unstable, suddenly felt dizzy and his movements became even more chaotic.

Just as she was about to make another slash, Neville kicked her, sending her flying.

"Is that all?" Neville planted his greatsword in the ground, letting out a mocking laugh. "Still not awake?"

"Hmm..."

Huangyi stood up, gripped the katana in her hand, and the scene the poison had shown her flashed through her mind.

Although it was incredibly blurry, Huangyi was still able to discern the identity of the blood-stained figure.

However, because Neville accidentally caused Huangyi pain, she regained her senses in time, so anger took over her chest before pain and sadness.

—How dare you let me see such a thing! Unforgivable!

Shaking his head, Huangyi focused his attention on Neville, and his body instantly disappeared from the spot.

Duanmu Mo raised his greatsword to parry, but perhaps due to his shoulder injury, his movements were a step slower than usual, allowing Huang Yi to seize the opening and attack.

Clang!

As the blade struck his shoulder, Duanmu Mo froze, clutching his shoulder and staggering backward.

"Hmm, not bad, you've improved."

Duanmu Mo twisted his neck, preparing to attack again.

But before they could rush forward, their actions were interrupted by the irritating words of the poisonous vine:

"Enough! Neville, there's no point in continuing!"

With a dark expression, Poison Vine forcefully waved his hand, recalling the demonic puppet.

Seeing this, Duanmu Mo also stopped in his tracks.

"You're the employer, so you get to decide."

Raising his hand and gripping the black mist gun, Duanmu Mo pulled the trigger towards the ground, and a large amount of black mist spread out, engulfing the entire street.

"stop!"

Huangyi charged forward, but the thick fog made it impossible to see anything, so he had to retreat temporarily.

Xi Ri and Huang Yi jumped to a high place and watched the black mist slowly dissipate, only to find that there was no one in the mist. Not only Neville and Du Man, but Cang Yi had also disappeared here.

Looking at the empty streets, Yuhi turned to Yuori and said:

"...If this happens again, it's best to keep your distance and wait for me. Don't force it. Anyway, those combatants didn't destroy many buildings, and they can be rebuilt in no time."

"Um......"

His mind was still foggy, and the toxins couldn't dissipate quickly. Huang Yi nodded slowly.
