I have no regrets about my 2D world!

Upon discovering this scene, Kuang San suddenly felt troubled. Her current means of attack were only these spiritual bullets. Kuang San also understood her other abilities, but she did not have enough 'time' to use them.

Because they still had to leave some time to deal with the Demon King, Kurumi was a little restrained.

"Tsk~" After dodging the attack again because the effect of the "Seventh Bullet" disappeared and Origami's shield form turned back into the floating cannon, Kurumi couldn't help but frown.

The people on the opposite side seem to have group attacks, while most of our people are single-target, so we will be dragged here forever.

Just as Kuang San was thinking about what to do, several figures appeared around her.

"Nibelcol?"

That’s right, the figures that appeared all looked like Nibelcol.

Kurumi looked at Erya in surprise.

Erya smiled and said, "Well, with my current abilities, I can only reveal so much. But don't worry, their consciousness is shared, so don't worry about making things worse."

"Next, we will help you hold them off while you chase the Demon King."

Kurumi nodded, thanked him and walked deeper into the castle.

Seeing this, Origami tried to stop them, but was blocked by several 'Nibelcol'.

Chapter 61: The End of the Story and a New Beginning

As Kurumi went deeper, the wide castle gradually shortened to a small path. Kurumi didn't know where this path led to, but she could only walk here.

Suddenly, a light appeared under my feet, and something that looked like a magic circle appeared. After a flash of light, there was no figure on the path.

In a special space, the disappeared demon king stood here, with a white figure standing beside him.

The white figure noticed that the man next to him seemed very familiar with this place, and his eyes seemed to be reminiscing.

The figure was a little confused, but then relieved. He had brought me here, so he must be very familiar with this place. And that memory... I guess I must have misread it.

Just like that, the two of them didn't say anything, waiting for someone/someone to arrive.

After an unknown amount of time, a magic circle suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, revealing a black-haired girl.

The black-haired girl's calm mood became a little excited when she saw the two of them.

"Demon King, it's finally your turn!"

The man smiled softly, looking at Kuang San in front of him and said softly: "Don't be angry, it won't do you any good."

"I can tell you the good news. That yarn you mentioned hasn't had any problems yet, so you still have plenty of time to defeat me."

"However, since you are too weak, so weak that I have no interest in fighting you, I will let this person next to me be your opponent. If you can defeat her, I will release your friend."

"If you fail... hehe."

The man didn't continue the conversation, but Kurumi knew the consequences of failure. If she failed, she and the others would probably be stuck here forever.

Kurumi did not refute the man's words, because she also knew that it was almost impossible for her to defeat the Demon King. Legend has it that the Demon King took away the original elf-like energy, and he must be very powerful.

If I could develop myself for a few decades, I might still give it a try, but it is simply impossible now.

Fortunately, Kuang San made the right bet.

She was betting that the Devil King wouldn't do it himself. If the Devil King did it himself to deal with a small fry like her, it would be beneath his dignity, so she would most likely face the Devil King's men.

No matter what, at least the chance of winning is better than facing the Demon King.

Kurumi's eyes narrowed as she looked at the white figure beside the man.

Her waist-length white hair was tied into two ponytails, and her heterochromatic eyes, one blue and one red, gave her a sense of arrogance. Looking closely, she also seemed to have a clock in her left eye, but it was different from her own.

Without much time to observe, the man gave the order.

"Bai...I'll leave her to you. If you can't solve the problem, you can disappear."

Kurumi didn't know why the Demon King paused when he called out the name of the figure next to him, but she didn't have time to think about it.

'Bai' has arrived in front of him.

At some point, a saber appeared in Bai's hand and slashed towards her, as if it had suddenly appeared in front of her.

Kuang San dodged immediately and raised the gun in her hand to shoot bullets at her, but they were all blocked by the saber.

Kuang San frowned. The man in front of her seemed to have been through many battles. He could use a knife to block bullets. This skill was not something that ordinary people could do.

'White' swung at him again, and Kurumi could only dodge continuously, firing a bullet from time to time to distract 'White' while thinking about the next countermeasure.

The figure called "White" was none other than Yamada Sawa from before.

After Bai asked her and got the result, he gave her a spirit crystal, which is why she looks like she does now.

She had some extremely skilled techniques after becoming a spirit, and then Bai also specially found some "energy bodies" to create an area where time passed quickly for her to practice, in order to make up for the disadvantage that it took her less time to master the abilities than Kurumi.

Although in Bai's opinion, they are just the same now.

Kurumi doesn't have enough time to develop, and Sawa doesn't have enough subordinates to use.

So the two of them are just about on par with each other.

Of course, the outcome was already predicted. Even if Sawa had the upper hand, she would still let Kurumi win. It was just that she wouldn't necessarily have the upper hand.

Watching the fight between the two becoming more and more intense, Sawa seemed to be holding back at all. Bai was a little curious why Sawa did this. They shouldn't have any conflicts, right?

Just when Bai discovered that Shahe had the upper hand and felt that the two were about to decide the winner, several people outside also entered this space.

Origami, Yoshino, and Rokuko appeared beside Shiro, while Tohka and the others walked over to Kurumi's side.

Seeing Tohka and the others approaching, Kurumi's face lit up with joy, wanting to ask them for help. Then she noticed that Bai had covered the others with a special cover with a wave of his hand.

Tohka and the others tried but found that they couldn't open it at all, so they could only spread their hands helplessly to Kurumi.

"Haha, no one can interfere in this battle." Bai laughed lightly and looked at the two people who had stopped temporarily.

"I'm getting tired of your fighting. Show me your true abilities, or I'll kill you all myself!"

Hearing Bai's words, Kuang San's expression changed.

She had indeed been letting the opponent win, because she had noticed that the opponent, White, was also letting the opponent win. Many times, when they could have attacked her, they would suddenly pause, giving her time to react. So she also wondered if she could convince White to fight back together.

Because he had heard Bai say that those who failed would be dealt with, and thought that Sawa was also forced, he wanted to try to persuade her to rebel, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the Demon King.

With Bai's threat, Kurumi finally got serious.

"City of Eclipse!"

A special area appeared, covering Kurumi and Saeki.

Saeki let the "City of Eclipse" envelop her without making any move. After the barrier was completely completed, she tentatively waved the saber in her hand.

A slightly dull feeling came over him, and he smiled softly. He raised his saber and instantly appeared in front of Kurumi.

But Kurumi was not panicked, instead she smiled.

"Sorry, it looks like I have to defeat you first."

"Seven bullets, one bullet."

One gun was aimed at Sawa, and the other was aimed at himself.

After the gunshot, Kurumi's figure disappeared, and Sawa stopped in the air.

As Kurumi's figure suddenly appeared, a series of bullets appeared around Sawa and aimed at her.

"It's over, 'Shiro'." Kurumi said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's over." Sawa's cheerful tone made Kurumi feel familiar but also a little uneasy.

I saw Sawa took out a gun and pointed it at her, muttering "Libra".

Sawa's figure disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by Kurumi who appeared in the same place with a look of surprise on her face.

She felt the bullet pierce through her body and fell to the ground.

Looking at Sawa walking towards her step by step, Kurumi gave a wry smile.

"I didn't expect you to have this trick. It's a pity that you're just one step away."

"...Yes, I'm just one step away. I don't know why your barrier hasn't disappeared yet, but I basically have no ability to continue fighting."

"But I still won this battle."

"Is that so..." The fallen Kurumi was silent for a while, and suddenly said:

"I don't know why your voice sounds like Sae and hers. Can I ask you a favor?"

"As the victor, you should be able to ask the Demon King for a favor. Could you... please protect Sawa?"

"This request shouldn't be a big deal for the Demon King, right?"

Kurumi said this to Bai.

"Of course, as the winner, I am naturally qualified to do so."

"Hehe...that's enough."

Kurumi closed her eyes, waiting for what was to happen next.

"Well, let's end it." Sawa raised the saber in her hand, as if she was about to chop it down.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind me, and I felt like something was hitting my head.

"Ah, yes, it's over."

The saber in Sawa's hand stopped in mid-air, then dropped to the ground as she let go. Kurumi, who had fallen to the ground in front of her, also merged into a shadow and disappeared.

"As expected of you, San San."

"Well, you probably don't have any other options, Shiro."

Sawa remained silent. After spending so much time in the Eclipse City, her spiritual energy had almost completely depleted. Adding to the previous battle, her body could no longer sustain it. She fell to the ground along with her saber.

Kurumi didn't put away the gun, ignored Sawa who was lying on the ground, and pointed the gun at Bai.

"Then, Demon King, it's time to fulfill your promise."

I saw Bai clapping his hands and grinning as he slowly approached.

"It's really wonderful. I can't help but want you to perform it again."

Seeing that Kurumi's expression was becoming increasingly indifferent, Bai also stopped.

"Why not take a look at your feet?"

When Kuang San heard this, her face changed and she suddenly looked down at her feet.

She didn't know when the white-haired figure disappeared, and was replaced by Sawa, whom she had been looking for.

Seeing that Sawa seemed to be in pain, Kurumi immediately cancelled the "City of Time Eclipse" that she had been maintaining, squatted down and picked up Sawa.

"Fourth Bullet."

A bullet hit Sawa's body, but nothing happened. She raised her head and looked at Bai angrily.

"Demon Lord, this is not what you agreed to."

"Hey~ How is it different? Look, you are the winner, and I have fulfilled your request and returned your friend to you. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

The smile on the white face seemed like a mockery to Kurumi.

Yes, the Demon King did fulfill her request and released Sawa, but he didn't guarantee Sawa's safety. And, as he said, "If you fail, you can also disappear."

According to Kurumi's perception, Sawa had no injuries on her body, but she couldn't wake up. Could this be the disappearance that the Demon King mentioned?

Just when Kuang San was heartbroken, Bai suddenly spoke.

"It seems that your ability is still not enough. Put away your attitude. Her spiritual power has just disappeared, she is not dead."

"Since she failed, I stripped her of the spiritual power I bestowed upon her. That's why she fell into a coma. You look so... ugly to me."

Of course, Bai didn't say this out of any such intention, but rather to stimulate Kurumi and prepare for what was to come. It wasn't that he had stripped Sawa of her spiritual energy, but rather that Kurumi had canceled her 'City of Time Eclipse' too late, leaving Sawa, who already had no spiritual energy left, with not a single drop left, and her body also exited the state of spiritual armor.

"Well, as the winner, I can grant you one wish. Have you thought about it?"

Bai's voice became cold, and it seemed that he could sense that he was in a very bad mood.

Kurumi didn't know why the Demon King said that, but she instinctively said, "Then..."

"Impossible! I won't change what I've done myself!"

Interrupting Kurumi's speech, Bai understood what Kurumi wanted, which was nothing more than saving the fallen Saeki. But Saeki didn't need her to save her. With the presence of the spirit crystal, the spirit power in her body would naturally replenish and she would recover soon.
