Why is my anime art style so weird?

Subaru Natsuki's eyes instantly lost their light.

Xu Ming sighed.

“Roswaal is dead. As for the others… I found their remains in the basement…”

"Oh, I see."

Natsuki Subaru gave a bitter laugh.

"That's true, maybe I should have abandoned such pointless fantasies a long time ago."

Xu Ming patted him on the shoulder, then got up and walked out the door.

He was left alone in the room. Natsuki Subaru collapsed onto the tatami mat, staring blankly at the ceiling, as if he were dead...

'System, process the settlement task.'

—Congratulations, host, for completing the mission 'Death Reincarnation (5 stars)'. Mission settlement in progress, please wait...

—Task completion rate: 100%

Seeing the level of completion, Xu Ming straightened up and nodded in satisfaction.

It was no wonder that he used his Flashstorm to completely plow through the entire mansion like a raging torrent.

He wiped out everything that could be destroyed, and even the evil magic circle set up by Roswaal was completely destroyed.

If the system still doesn't give him 100% completion, Xu Ming would suspect it's manipulating things behind the scenes.

—Gain 30000 Weird Points (300%)!

— Obtain the hidden reward 'Ice Rose (Seven Stars)'

Xu Ming's eyes lit up immediately.

Xu Ming was prepared that the number of strange points awarded for completing the mission was not high.

After all, he had only completed a side quest.

In Konoha Village, I completed a total of six side quests, which only gave me 100,000 points in total. This one quest alone gave me 30,000 points, which is quite good.

The key is the hidden reward—it's actually a seven-star piece of equipment!

Xu Ming quickly chose to receive it.

A lifelike white crystal rose appeared in his hand.

Wait, this thing looks familiar...

Xu Ming thought about it carefully for a while, and then suddenly realized that this was the headdress that Emilia wore in her hair.

Xu Ming, somewhat curious, opened the system panel and began to check the specific attributes of this equipment:

Ice Rose (7 stars, cannot be upgraded) - An unfulfilled vow, an ice rose that will never wither.

Frost Shield – Summons six shields made of ice, which automatically release cold air to continue the counterattack when attacked (can be used 5 times per day).

Frost Hell – Creates a 100-meter diameter area of ​​ice, slowing and dealing continuous damage to any enemies that enter. It also enhances other ice abilities. (Can be used 3 times per day)

Beast of the End - Summons the Beast of the End (Soul Level 7) from the Permafrost, lasting for one hour. (Can be used once per day)

It has to be said that this equipment truly lives up to its seven-star rating. Not only is it a combination of offense and defense, but it also comes with the ultimate move of summoning a top-tier fighter.

The only thing that troubled Xu Ming was that this thing was a headdress, and a woman's headdress at that.

He's not some cross-dressing guy, so naturally he wouldn't wear that thing on his head.

Then the only option is to go through the trouble of keeping this thing in your pocket and taking it out only when you need it.

------

After dealing with Roswaal, Xu Ming went on vacation again.

However, he and Kato Megumi have already stayed in Hakone long enough, and they have already decided to go back in a few days.

Taking advantage of these last few days, Xu Ming and Kato Megumi decided to wander around Hakone and enjoy its unique scenery.

Since there are natural hot springs here, there must be volcanoes nearby.

The most famous place in this area is undoubtedly Mount Hakone, since the entire region is named after Hakone.

Hakone is not a single mountain, but a collective term for the surrounding mountain ranges. However, people generally refer to the single volcano as 'Hakone'.

The hot spring resort's private car first took Xu Ming and Kato Megumi to the foot of the volcano, and then the two of them took a cable car to the viewing platform on the mountain.

A minor incident occurred while riding the cable car.

Xu Ming and Kato Megumi were sitting opposite each other in the cable car, which was very smooth.

Unexpectedly, my older sister suddenly emerged from Xu Ming's shadow and insisted on squeezing into the same seat with him.

Not to be outdone, Kato Megumi squeezed to Xu Ming's other side.

As a result of the excessive movement and the uneven weight distribution, the entire cable car began to sway.

After Xu Ming and Kato Megumi got off the cable car and left, passengers from the cable car behind them also got off; they were several elderly tourists with gray hair.

After they got off the cable car, they all looked at Xu Ming and Kato Megumi's departing figures with a mixture of curiosity and awe.

Perhaps they were thinking: This car can vibrate? These young people these days really know how to have fun!

Chapter 502 The Dramatic Changes in Fuyuki

After climbing onto the viewing platform, a strong gust of wind blew in.

Kato Megumi's hair was suddenly blown into a mess.

Luckily, she wasn't wearing a hat today, otherwise the famous scene would have turned into some guy jumping off a cliff to retrieve his hat. (We're all seasoned experts; those who know who "some guy" is, know. Hilarious~)

Kato Megumi quickly reached out to fix her hair.

After she finished tidying up, Xu Ming noticed that her sideburns were still a bit messy, so he naturally reached out and smoothed them down for her.

Perhaps his movements were too natural, because even Kato Megumi didn't react for a moment and stood there stunned.

The shadow behind Xu Ming began to sway wildly.

At this time of year, the surface of the distant volcano is covered with a thin layer of snow, and the mountains are shrouded in mist.

At first glance, it seemed as if everything in sight was white...

under night.

In the pitch-black mountains, a figure climbs the stone steps along the path.

This stone path seems to have been around for a long time, and it also seems to have been neglected for a long time. The stone slabs are covered with leaves, dried mud and other debris. Many of the stone slabs are broken, and some are even missing a large piece, and it is unknown where they have fallen.

An aura of loneliness and desolation washed over me.

The trees on both sides of the stone path were faintly visible, and a cold night wind blew by, causing the branches to sway and rustle. In the darkness, it seemed as if countless figures were beckoning.

A strange crying sound could be faintly heard.

Faced with these bizarre sights, the uninvited guest who came up the mountain late at night seemed oblivious to them.

This audacious person was dressed as a priestess, wearing a fox mask, and her silver hair seemed to glow in the darkness. Judging from her curvaceous figure, she appeared to be a woman.

If Xu Ming were here, he would recognize her at a glance.

Tsukuyomi, the peculiar 'mysterious' one who can transform into other people's appearances and has repeatedly snatched the Holy Grail from his hands.

She was currently on Mount Enzo, a satellite town of Fuyuki, near Tokyo.

Ryudo-ji Temple, the only temple in Fuyuki City, is located atop Mount Enzo, making it quite famous locally.

Unfortunately, due to that accident, the entire Fuyuki has become a desolate ghost town, and Ryudo-ji Temple, located on Mount Enzo, is no exception.

The surviving monks had long since fled the area, leaving only the dilapidated Liudong Temple standing alone on the mountaintop.

However, Tsukuyomi's destination does not seem to be Ryudou-ji Temple at the top of the mountain.

She reached the mountainside but did not continue towards Ryudong Temple at the summit. Instead, she turned onto a side path leading to the mountainside and headed deeper into Yuanzang Mountain.

Soon after, Tsukuyomi arrived outside a huge cave.

Then she took out two golden cups from her bosom.

Two golden lights suddenly shone in the darkness!

The two golden cups were faintly emitting a dazzling golden light, and the closer Tsukuyomi got to the cave with the cups in her hand, the brighter the light became.

Tsukuyomi nodded slightly and muttered to herself:

"Looks like this is the place."

So she put away the golden cup and went into the cave.

She soon arrived at the depths of the cave.

A huge altar in the style of ancient Greece appeared before her.

It's truly unbelievable that such a huge and magnificent building was constructed deep inside the cave.

Tsukuyomi, however, had no hesitation and went straight up to the altar.

The top of the altar is a large circular open space, with an intricate magic circle carved into the ground.

At the center of the magic circle was a circular stone platform, on which was placed a chessboard resembling a chessboard.

However, this chessboard looks very strange; instead of the usual black and white, the two sides are red and blue.

Even stranger, the chess pieces on the board weren't the king, queen, rook, and knight, but rather hooded mages, cavalrymen driving chariots, swordsmen wielding swords, and archers with bows drawn...

These strange chess pieces are divided into red and blue, with seven pieces on each side.

After observing carefully for a while, Tsukuyomi suddenly reached out her hand towards the row of chess pieces that were faintly emitting a red glow.

Whoosh!

She grabbed all the red chess pieces and held them in her palm.

Suddenly, she pulled a black jade pendant from her bosom and threw it at the blue side of the chessboard.

The jade pendant landed on the chessboard and immediately emitted a black light, enveloping the seven blue pieces.

Tsukuyomi's actions seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism, and the magic circle suddenly lit up with a white light.

A blonde girl dressed in silver-white armor and dark blue battle clothes, holding a battle flag, emerged from the white light.
