mygo, but Cthulhu

"This is the Night Demon. It's about to come out. We have to hide quickly..."

Before she could finish her words, three huge eyes suddenly opened in the darkness, and huge limbs slowly dragged out the monster's huge body. Everyone who saw it felt an instant pain in their heads, and instinctive panic continued to erode their sanity.

At the same time, No. 1 couldn't help but smile with immense satisfaction as she watched the spell inscriptions around her rapidly collapsing, unable to bear the pressure anymore. Before Zhijiang's eyes, she shattered into light and merged into the monster formed by the distorted Mashiro, who couldn't help but frown in disbelief.

"What the hell is going on? I didn't do anything..."

The next moment, she suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck. She turned around subconsciously and saw the blurry figure of a dark-skinned man flash across the rock wall. Although he was not there for long, she was still sure that he was looking at her, and the strange smile on his face was exactly the same as the one she had seen before.

……

Nyarlathotep, huh, it's not surprising at all, he must like the current chaos.

Chapter 178 Digging Out the Eyes

"Roar!"

The Night Demon roared, and the sharp roar made everyone's eardrums hurt. Then its three eyes locked firmly on Ichigaya Yusaki who had previously blocked it, and it suddenly spread its wings and dived towards her.

"damn it……"

The Night Demon's huge figure was not clumsy at all. Yusaki didn't even have time to curse before he was knocked away. The layers of shields on his body were all shattered and he fell heavily to the ground.

"Arisaki!"

Seeing her situation, Mei Zhulan raised her hand angrily and summoned the forest of flesh and blood. They squirmed and quickly surrounded the Night Demon, but the latter took off again lightly and jumped out of the encirclement, summoning a dark torrent that blew them everywhere.

At the same time, Mitakeran quickly helped Arisaki up. The latter tried to raise his hand tremblingly, but found that he felt a sharp pain as soon as he tried to move his arm. He could not help but grit his teeth.

"I think I have a broken bone... Ran, take Saaya and Sana away first. I need to concentrate on dealing with this guy..."

"Hahahahaha!"

Before she could finish her words, the monster formed by Mashiro and the others burst into a shrill laugh and rushed towards her again. Arisaki hurriedly summoned all the talismans, but before the defense formation took effect, a huge wave of rats crashed into the monster first, and the extreme number of rats abruptly blocked the latter's charge.

"Ichigaya-senpai, I don't think now is the time for internal fighting. We need to find a way to deal with these two monsters first. What do you think?"

With the help of Chuhua, Toyokawa Shoko endured the pain and managed to get up and looked at Ichigaya Yusaki, who couldn't help but hesitate at this time.

"Cough cough..."

But the next moment, Sana's body suddenly twitched, and her tender face was distorted with pain. Arisaki saw Saaya hugging her body in great pain, her familiar eyes full of powerlessness and despair.

"...I'm sorry, but Sanan is about to give up. I can't promise you."

After a moment's silence, Arisaki sighed and raised his pistol as quickly as possible, pulling the trigger at Nagasaki Suyo. Aine, who was already suppressed and covered in blood, subconsciously stood in front of Suyo. The bullet hit the fragile wound that was still healing, causing her to stagger.

“Aine!”

Su Shi opened her eyes wide, and she trembled as she tried to reach out to Aine, whose face was covered in blood. The latter forced a smile, and was then knocked into the rock wall by the flying Rishi. As the debris flew, Aine gritted her teeth and punched Rishi back, but the other three people quickly pounced on her. Her recovery speed continued to decline in the energy burst, and the body that was about to be forged with Dagon's blood began to find it difficult to support.

"Don't hurt Xiao Ai!"

Gao Songdeng roared in pain and broke free from the talisman's restraints, but before he could provide support, he was caught by the Night Demon's sharp claws. His body was easily torn to pieces, and then turned into flowing colors, struggling to avoid the Night Demon's pursuit.

"lamp!"

Lixi desperately wanted to rush over, but Xiangzi grabbed her arm in time. Lixi turned back angrily and glared at her, but Xiangzi looked back at her without showing any weakness.

"Let me go! I need to save the lights!"

"If you go there now, you're basically committing suicide! I care about Deng too, but as the Starlight, she won't die easily. You're just a fragile human, and the Night Demon can kill you easily!"

"Then are you just going to let me watch here?!"

"What else?! Rushing over will only cause more trouble!"

"I……"

After Xiangzi roared, Lixi was stunned. She looked at Xiangzi blankly, and the latter also sighed and slowed down his voice.

"Lixi, I know you're very unwilling, but what you should do now is take Su Shi to a safe place instead of letting your emotions get the better of you... Do you understand?"

"……I see."

Li Xi nodded with a gloomy expression after a moment of silence. She turned around and took Su Shi's hand, ready to leave the battlefield. Ruoye Mu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked up at Xiangzi and spoke softly and calmly,

"Xiang, let me help you."

"...No, no, if you continue to use Hastur's power, you will be taken away by Him very soon."

Xiangzi hesitated for a moment and then shook his head vigorously, while Ruoye Mu silently glanced at the distraught Su Shi, pursed his lips and sighed softly.

"Xiang, let me help you."

"I said, no."

"But……"

"We can still hold on. The current situation isn't out of control yet! Borrowing His power is only a last resort. Do you understand?!"

Xiangzi gritted his teeth and couldn't help but raise his voice. Ruo Yemu looked at her serious face, hesitated for a moment, and nodded slightly.

"I see."

"..."

Li Xi also heard their conversation, but she stammered and said nothing in the end. Instead, she lowered her head unwillingly and pulled Su Shi to speed up.

Damn it, if I had more power, if I could help Deng and the others, the situation wouldn't be so bad. Why am I so useless...

However, before Li Xi could continue her thoughts, she suddenly felt that Su Shi had stopped. After turning around unexpectedly, she saw Su Shi looking at Aine who was knocked to the ground again with tears in her eyes. There was not a single intact part on the pink-haired girl's body, but she still gritted her teeth and tried her best to block the attacks of the four people. Whenever someone tried to get close to Su Shi, she would block the attack even if she had to use her body as a shield.

"...Lixi, all this is because of me, right? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to suffer so much injury and endure so much pain... This is all my fault, right?"

"How could this be your fault? Su Shi, I know you must be feeling bad, but now you have to come with me quickly..."

"No, I don't want to keep just watching like this. I don't want you to get into trouble because of me, and I can't do anything about it."

Su Shi interrupted her softly and struggled to break free from her hand. Just as Li Xi frowned, she saw Su Shi showing a weak and tired smile.

"Lixi...I will remember what you look like."

"What on earth are you talking about..."

Li Xi had just said half of her words when she saw in disbelief that Su Shi actually raised her hand and inserted her fingers into her eye sockets. The pain made her scream, but even though her body was shaking, she still gritted her teeth and continued to move, blood constantly flowing from her eyes.

"Sushi! What are you doing?! Stop it now!"

Xiangzi reacted first and tried to stop her in panic, but a strong impact suddenly erupted from Sushi, knocking her and Lixi to the ground.

"I'm sorry, but I have to do this..."

Su Shi fell to her knees because of the severe pain. She wailed and couldn't help crying. Tears of blood slid down her face. The unimaginable pain in her eye sockets continued to torture her nerves. Her fragile organs wailed and accused her of self-harm, and her mind was in a mess.

It is human instinct to resist torturing oneself. Wanting to dig out one's own eyes is definitely not something that can be done in an instant... Su Shi has never imagined such a scene, but she must speed up and gain strength quickly.

She must not let everyone continue to suffer because of her, she must help everyone.

There is a noise in my ears, Su Shi bites

He clenched his teeth, endured the pain with all his might, and forced his fingertips to go deeper until they touched the bottom of the eye sockets and held the two eyeballs.

"Ahhhhhh! Aaaaaahhh!"

She wailed and pulled her eyeballs out little by little. The pain almost made her faint. Blood had soaked her body, but Su Shi did not dare to stop at all, fearing that if she paused even for a moment, the strength she had desperately mustered would disappear in an instant.

"Tear,"

Then, Su Shi suddenly heard a clear breaking sound. She felt that the nerves connecting her eyeballs seemed to have been disconnected. Amidst the severe pain, she successfully dug out her eyeballs... The two still warm balls lay in the palm of her hand, reminding her of what a terrible thing she had just done.

"Cough cough cough..."

Su Shi could no longer support her body and fell to the ground. She felt dizzy and confused in her mind. Pain replaced everything and locked her tightly. The emptiness in her eye sockets made her unbearable. She felt like her brain would flow out of her eye sockets at any time.

"I, I succeeded..."

She muttered to herself, trying hard to maintain her consciousness, and a moment later, she suddenly "saw" the huge eye, which was full of unspeakable horror. Su Shi almost lost her mind, but the pain helped her stay awake.

"I want your power, but don't try to control me."

She gritted her teeth and squeezed out the sound, and her huge eyes suddenly widened. Su Shi's mind seemed to be pierced by a sharp knife in an instant, and the pain and confusing knowledge continued to flow in, making her unable to help but scream again.

Suddenly, she understood that although No. 1 had not deceived her, it was impossible to avoid control simply by digging out her eyes. She also needed to rely on her willpower to maintain consciousness... But was this possible for her who was almost unable to hold on?

After realizing her tragic ending, Su Shi couldn't help but grit her teeth. She tried her best to endure this chaos, but the pain at this moment was far more unbearable than digging out her own eyes with her own hands. She was overwhelmed by thousands of whispers and chaotic scenes. All the information seemed to be tearing at her fragile will like a living thing, leaving her with only the feeling of herself being shattered.

"Su Shi,"

Just when Su Shi was almost in despair, she suddenly heard Xiao Mu's voice. After turning around blankly, she saw Ruo Ye Mu suddenly appear in the void. She looked at Su Shi's bloodshot, empty eyes, which were full of fatigue and sadness.

"I'm sorry, if I could have borrowed my husband's power earlier, you wouldn't have to endure this."

"Xiao Mu, you don't have to say that... This is something I have to endure. The situation is already extremely bad, and I can't let anyone get hurt because of me."

"...Sushi is always like this, always enduring it, just like me."

Ruoye Mu walked forward and hugged Su Shi, letting the latter feel precious comfort. She gently hugged Xiao Mu back, and at the same time saw the yellow mark on her collarbone began to emit light. She realized something and her voice became extremely rapid.

"Xiao Mu! Don't do that! You'll be taken away later!"

"Su Shi, I have to do this too."

Ruoye Mu shook his head slightly, then closed his eyes. A tall figure in a yellow robe appeared in front of the huge eyes. The latter uttered a whisper that made Su Shi dizzy, while the King in Yellow just stood there quietly. Then Su Shi's consciousness space began to tremble.

"Boom,"

Amidst the sudden loud noise, the chaotic information that was about to drown Su Shi quickly subsided. She clearly felt that Seigya's power was forcibly pushed back, and then five bright spots of different colors appeared in her perception. The inexplicable feeling made her understand that these were the five demons.

And now, it seemed, she could drive them back.

Chapter 179 A Cruel Decision

"Boom!"

Before this, Aine was still struggling to hold on. She was desperately trying to stand in front of Rimi, but was knocked down by a heavy punch. The powerful force made a hole in the ground. She wailed under the heavy burden. The self-healing of the wound finally couldn't hold on, and Aine, with broken bones all over her body, was soaked in her own blood.

"...I have to say, that's a really good intention. Unfortunately, we also have people we need to save."

Rimi and the others were also covered in wounds at this time. She looked at Aine tiredly and slowly exhaled. Although she didn't know why Nagasaki Suyo suddenly went crazy, she didn't care. After confirming that Sanan's condition was not difficult to save, she took a step forward and prepared to kill Suyo directly.

"no,"

But the next moment, she felt her foot being grabbed tightly. She looked down at Aine's hand, which was almost broken but still tightly gripping her ankle, and Rimi couldn't help but sigh.

"We don't have much time left, Aine. I'm only saying this once, let go immediately."

"..."

The pink-haired girl was breathing weakly, but her trembling hands were still unwilling to let go. Hinako frowned and prepared to go over by herself, but the next moment her feet were also grabbed tightly.

"You forced us to do this."

Satomi sighed, then raised her fists together with Hinako, and smashed them hard into Aine's face, shattering her facial features. Aine trembled and swallowed the broken teeth and blood. Although the pain almost swallowed her, she still held on to their ankles tightly.

"Tsk,"

Li and Nana frowned and leaned over, ready to cut off Aine's hands, but the next second they were firmly bound by the spell. Aine's almost convulsive body showed that this was a spell she released with her last bit of strength, but they couldn't break free for a while, and Rimi could only sigh at this time, her voice became cold.

"It's been like this for a minute. If this goes on any longer, Sanan will die... I'm sorry."

As soon as they finished speaking, they all raised their fists and gathered energy to smash into Aine's already battered body. The wounds were torn and shattered, and blood, flesh, and bones kept splattering on them. Even so, the broken body still forced out strength to restrain them, making them even more annoyed and anxious.

"Let go! Chihaya Aine! Let go! You're doing this for your friends, and we're trying to save people! You've already been defeated, are you still going to waste our time?!"

"no way,"

Aine couldn't actually hear their words clearly now. What she heard more was Deng's desperate roar as he tried desperately to get over but couldn't under the entanglement of the Night Demon, the sound of Riki pulling the trigger at Rishi and the others angrily and powerlessly, the rapid breathing of Lena who had come up to support but was pierced through the body, and Su Shi's painful wails.

Soyorin...why did she dig out her own eyes? There must be a reason, but she really didn't want to see such a thing.

But... I seem to be dying soon, and there seems to be no way to ask Soyorin. Soyorin's eyes are obviously very beautiful, what a pity...

Aine's consciousness became blurred, and she found that her vision had also become dark, as if her eyes had also been blown out, and her skull was on the verge of shattering due to the continuous blows.

Next is the final blow, right?

Aine thought so calmly, sighed softly in her heart, and reluctantly prepared to face her own death.

…But even though she waited for a long time, until her eyes grew back, death still did not come. Aine opened her eyes in confusion and saw Satoshi and the others raised their fists high, but their bodies had solidified into stone statues, and their faces, transformed into stone, still showed anger and anxiety.

"Aine! Are you okay?!"

Su Shi rushed up in panic with bloodshot eyes. She trembled and hurried to check Ain's condition. Although she had no eyeballs, she seemed to still have her own special vision. After "seeing" that Ain was not in danger of life, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine...soyorin, what happened over there? Why did you hurt yourself?"

Looking at her empty eyes, Aiyin felt a pang of heartache. She held Su Shi's hand and asked softly, while Su Shi sighed.
