Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

No one is perfect. One or two minor flaws are insignificant. He likes Brian quite a bit and hopes to compete with him after the world merges, so that they can improve together.

Julius was very objective.

In terms of swordsmanship talent, he might not actually be much stronger than Brian. It's just that swordsmanship in their world is more developed and advanced enough that he can build upon that foundation and thus go further than Brian.

Of all the worlds currently in existence, their world boasts the most advanced swordsmanship.

Splash!

In the Inuyasha area, Sesshomaru, with an indifferent expression, was flipping through books about swordsmanship from the Emilia world, showing absolutely no interest in Brian.

Unlike Julius, he did not have a tolerant attitude towards those weaker than himself, which suggested a promising future.

More than Brian, he just wanted to get to Kyosuke Kousaka and meet Demiurge again as soon as possible.

Although he can't defeat Demiurge yet, once he finishes reading the sword manuals and fully understands them, he will be able to forge a new sword even stronger than the original Bakusaiga...

At that time, he had a premonition that he would be the strongest demon in their world, even surpassing his father, Dog General, in his prime, who could only be ranked second in the world.

If Demiurge doesn't have any backup plans by then, the balance of power will likely shift.

While the highly talented Sesshomaru was becoming self-taught, Inuyasha was not idle either. At this moment, he was receiving swordsmanship instruction from the leisurely old man, Sword Demon, who was living a happy and content life after his wife's resurrection.

"..."

Sweating profusely and his clothes soaked through, Brian stopped exercising and silently watched the video of Kyosuke Kosaka's rapid progress under his tutelage.

He took a deep breath, and the next second, the wooden stake in front of him exploded with a bang, revealing four cuts.

Four-light combo was originally his original move to defeat Gazef... but now, he is pursuing five-light, six-light, or even ten-light combo.

His arrogance and vanity were exposed, and he didn't care about being ridiculed by the whole world; he had no time to think about those things.

All he wants now is to become stronger and stronger.

"You've given me yet another reason to get stronger, Kyosuke Kousaka... I don't aspire to defeat Demiurge, but as a vain person, I'd rather die than be left behind by the junior I've personally mentored, to the point where I can't even see your back!"

"Kousaka Kyosuke, I'm going to—go forward, drink aaaaaah!"

671. Back to the Livestock Farm, Kyosuke Kousaka's Bizarre Adventure

"With the five members of Blue Rose and Brian, Kyosuke Kousaka has received guidance from what can be described as an all-star lineup."

"He himself is also very competitive. He is not only exceptionally talented, but also never slacks off or backs down in terms of willpower. Although he had never been so serious before, he studied all day long and did it day after day."

"But that doesn't mean he can't do it."

"In terms of effort, perseverance, and character, he tried to emulate Miyuki Shirogane. Back then, Miyuki Shirogane was able to endure the hardships of the Warring States period and trained alone in the shrine for two whole years without slacking off for a second."

"Although he couldn't reach such a terrifying level of self-discipline, he could still restrain himself and learn about 70-80% of the ascetic training of Shirogane Miyuki in order to help innocent people escape as soon as possible."

"His progress in magic is incredibly rapid. Kyosuke Kousaka has already reached the third-tier magic area, advancing with unstoppable momentum, almost as easily as drinking water or eating."

"At this rate, maybe in a few years we could... no, that's still too slow. But speaking of which, how are the people at the livestock farm doing? They must still be suffering, right? Sigh..."

"The time required to learn magic and break through to the third rank is no more than fifteen days."

"Feeling the increasing power within his body growing stronger every day, he was not happy. On the night of his breakthrough, he tossed and turned in bed with his eyes closed, unable to stop thinking about those innocent people."

"..."

"Whoosh!"

"The next second, Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly opened his eyes—he was falling, off the bed, without a blanket, suddenly suspended in mid-air, appearing in a new place without warning, falling more than ten meters down, and crashing solidly onto the sand."

"Fortunately, he learned the 'Body Enhancement' martial art from Brian and used it on himself in time to improve his physical fitness, so he was not seriously injured."

"But this sudden situation still startled Kousaka Kyosuke. He nervously climbed out of the large sand pit and looked around blankly: "What's going on? Where am I... wait, is this the last place I escaped to when I was being chased by Entoma?"

"After observing the surrounding scenery and making comparisons, the conclusion was easily drawn."

Kyosuke Kosaka froze, then covered his head in utter confusion: "Can someone tell me what's going on?"

"They went back again?"

In the already thriving city of Di Nian'er, Qi Bao was also dumbfounded. He scratched his head, completely baffled: "How did we go back? Hey, Miroku, according to your calculations, that red ball, like the Shikon Jewel, has the effect of granting wishes, but it hasn't granted any wishes yet, has it?"

"This... I don't understand it either." Maitreya gave a wry smile.

Although Kyosuke Kosaka was thinking of those innocent people, he didn't immediately have a strong desire to go to the livestock farm, which conflicted with his previous calculation that 'strong thoughts lead to the fulfillment of wishes'.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering why this was happening.

This also includes Jiafeier and Mimi, who are visiting here, as well as the kind city lord of the world of Kaiyal.

As everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, the quiet Kikyo revealed a possibility: "It's probably safe now."

"Safe? What do you mean?" Qibao pressed for details.

"What I mean is that when he was being chased before, Kyosuke Kosaka's wish in desperation was to escape the danger and go to a safe place. He has returned now because this place is no longer dangerous and has become safe."

Instead of Kikyo, a voice came from afar, and with that voice, Shirogane Miyuki flew closer.

He raised his hand to greet everyone, and then continued, "The red ball's judgment process should be different from that of humans. In its view, since this place is already safe, then 'escaping danger and going to a safe place' means 'this place is safe, right here'."

"Since this place is no longer dangerous, isn't leaving here just nonsense? The logic of wishing doesn't hold up, so why not come back?"

"The above is my guess."

Shirogane Miyuki said it was his guess, but after listening, everyone suddenly realized that it was probably very close to the truth, and they couldn't help but gasp.

They never expected there to be such a bizarre way of making a judgment.

The serene Kikyo didn't blame Shirogane Miyuki for stealing the spotlight. She had always been indifferent to such things, and besides, his explanation was correct, exactly as she had expected.

Kagome thought for a moment, "So that means that for the past ten days or so, Entoma has been loitering there, keeping watch on Kousaka Kyosuke?"

The kind-hearted city lord nodded. "I see. That explains why there's an extra pit more than ten meters deep compared to before. It was Entoma venting his anger and creating that hole!"

"Tsk, what a petty and vicious person." Garfield clenched his fist. If Edoma were here, he would have killed this bastard undead.

Miyuki Shirogane couldn't agree more, but his target was Demiurge, so he came specifically to Kikyo to ask her to help him clear the demon blood in his body.

With Kikyo, the purest and most powerful priestess, helping to channel the remaining power of the demon blood within him, his limbs and bones could be fully infused, strengthening his spiritual power.

As for why he didn't look for Miss Tsubaki... it's because he saw her leave the student council in a hurry, which clearly meant she had something important to do.

"it is good."

Kikyo nodded gently, indicating that it was perfectly acceptable.

She reached out her slender, white hand and touched Shirogane Miyuki, roughly measuring him, before leading him into a room without any hesitation.

When it comes to crowd control, it's easier to gather people in places with fewer crowds.

If the environment is too noisy and many people are watching her, she can certainly remain undisturbed, but Shirogane Miyuki might not be able to, as there is a risk that her demon blood might flow backward and cause harm.

She and Shirogane Miyuki were both acting with integrity and a clear conscience, so why should they sacrifice safety for a superficial show for Tsubaki, who wasn't even here?

Sango watched this scene, hesitant to speak, "Miss Kikyo is really... as pure as ever."

These people definitely believed Kikyo and Shirogane Miyuki, but it was hard to say about Tsubaki-san. Therefore, they exchanged glances and made a secret pact: "We will never tell Tsubaki-san, even if it means death."

After that, Miroku and Garfield turned their attention back to Kyosuke Kousaka.

They both coveted "body enhancement" magic, a type of magic that didn't exist in the worlds of Emilia, Kayal, or Inuyasha.

If they learned this type of magic, not to mention them, even a priestess like Kikyo, who is particularly effective against evil spirits but has a weak body, could make great progress.

With a magic spell that enhances her physical abilities, Kikyo would make up for her only weakness when exorcising demons, making her much safer.

All the magic in the world of Evilue is far less appealing to these people than magic that temporarily enhances their physical abilities, even resurrection magic.

672. Shalltear's Territory: A New Hell on Earth

They are four truly ordinary middle school students, not Kagome, who is an exceptional case whose brain is better than most adults and whose courage is so great that she is fearless and willing to fight against anything.

When Kirino Kousaka, Ayase, Kuroneko, and Mana saw Kyosuke suddenly return to the outside of the ranch, they were completely stunned and their heads buzzed.

They couldn't figure out the reasons behind what happened, and they felt a chill run down their spines.

"No way... This can't be real, right? How could this happen? I don't believe it!"

Ayase nearly had a heart attack. She felt a jolt of fear, even more nervous than when she encountered the monster on the street, and even more terrified than Kousaka Kyosuke in the video.

The other three weren't much better off.

The deeper the emotion, the harder it is to remain calm.

They were all terrified that Entoma or Demiurge would suddenly appear from somewhere, grab Kousaka Kyosuke, and devour him alive. Just thinking about that scene made their scalps tingle and their limbs go weak.

In stark contrast to Kirino and her group of four, the people from the Great Tomb of Nazarick and the Slane Theocracy were initially surprised, but then overjoyed.

The former were eager to see Kousaka Kyosuke executed by slow slicing, hoping to salvage their reputation in the process.

After all, regardless of the excuse, the fact that an ordinary person managed to escape when the difference in strength between the two sides was so vast was a disgrace to the majesty of the Great Tomb.

As for the latter…

"Anyway, it's something that happens in the future. No matter how he's treated in the future, it won't affect Kousaka-kun in the present. If his suffering can help us uncover the secrets of the undead and the inner workings of their combat power, then it will be worth it."

"I'm entrusting this to you for the sake of all humanity, Kousaka-kun."

He made a cold assessment, while the High Priest watched with bated breath. Beside him, his nervous subordinates held pens and paper, ready to record all the information from the Undead.

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"After realizing where he was, his sense of crisis instantly surged, and he quickly ran away in a direction far away from the livestock farm."

He didn't know why he had suddenly returned, but he guessed that something like the Well of Bones was guiding his travels behind the scenes. However, he hadn't figured out the conditions for the travels yet, so he would leave that aside for now.

"In short, what's important now is not to act rashly."

"We need to get far away from the livestock farm and see which country we can reach after running far enough. Then we can determine the location of the livestock farm and return to the Kingdom of Yesteje to find Ibiruai and the others."

"Thinking about it that way, it seems like coming back was actually a gain?"

"Kousaka Kyosuke's thoughts shifted, and he found joy even in hardship."

"But after three days of trekking using magic to increase his speed and stamina, he could no longer manage a wry smile... because everything he had encountered during that time had truly shaken him."

"Whether it's the desert, the mountains, or the water, for some reason, there are scattered skeletons without self-awareness, wandering around randomly in many places."

"These are just skeletons that a first or second-tier mage could easily deal with. They're weak, but they have the advantage of sheer numbers. If all the ones he encountered along the way were piled up together, even someone as strong as Ibiruai would probably be worn down."
