Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

Niijima Sae has been repeating the same words for several hours.

'Niijima Sae' was also standing here, just looking at her.

No movement at all.

the reason is simple.

Since coming in, although Niijima Sae has never admitted that 'Niijima Sae' is herself, she has not refused to identify with 'the other side of herself'.

Therefore, the underlying limitations of the shadow meant that she was unable to do anything to Niijima Sae.

"Because your love for your sister is equal to your jealousy of everything in the world, you have been able to maintain this twisted balance for the time being? What an incredible love." Taichi's voice suddenly sounded from behind 'Niijima Sae'.

"...You're here again. Oh? You've learned your lesson this time and didn't bring those burdens with you." Niijima Sae turned sideways to look at Taichi who suddenly appeared behind him. "Although I really want to ask, 'How did you get into this room without my permission?', it seems that you have too many secrets, so this question is not that important."

"So, it was you who dragged Niijima Sae into the palace." Taiyi looked at Niijima Sae for a few seconds before looking at the palace master Niijima Sae and questioned, "Are you planning to completely replace her existence?"

"You even know this?" Niijima Sae raised an eyebrow. "I see, you have seen those guys before."

"Tsk." Taichi's brows suddenly frowned, and he looked at Niijima Sae with an unpleasant expression, "I originally thought you were just infected with some negative energy, but now it seems that the source of that negative energy is also problematic. You even know about 'those people'."

"Nothing, I just got some insignificant knowledge." Niijima Sae grinned, "However, this means that our bet has become equal in terms of intelligence... No, it's my intelligence disadvantage."

"After all, I know nothing about your situation."

A whirlwind of various colors began to surround Niijima Sae.

When the whirlwind faded away, the second stage Leviathan appeared in front of Taichi.

"But, it doesn't matter!"

"Before, because of Zhen's presence, I didn't dare to use my full strength, but now... I'll show you how much negative energy has strengthened me!"

After the second stage, there is the third stage which shouldn’t exist!

The guns and giant swords were integrated into the arms and became part of the limbs.

The top hat reappears and transforms into a helmet.

The body changed from its original humanoid keratinous state to a slightly soft gelatinous state.

The jealous demon + the negative energy monster——Niijima Sae.

Chapter 80: Scripts are meant to be torn up

"Well--!"

When the third stage was unfolding, Niijima Sae felt as if someone was strangling her neck, and even breathing became difficult.

"Tsk, you still can't completely replicate my most perfect state." Looking at his own gelatinous body, Hall Master Niijima Sae smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, "If you can devour me as soon as possible, I think you can achieve my ultimate goal."

"Use whatever means necessary to control everything in the world!"

The negative energy shadow of ambition.

Only one step away from the final monster transformation.

"Achilles!" Taichi tore off Achilles' mask and charged towards 'Niijima Sae' without hesitation.

"It hurts!"

After just a few rounds, Taiyi retreated, grinning and shaking his wrist.

If Niijima Sae's strength only increased three to four times when evolving from the first stage to the second stage, then the third stage would be a tenfold increase of the second stage.

"It seems that there is no spare energy to train combat methods." Taiyi swung the spear in his hand and then slightly bent his body forward.

Divine blessing!

The body is in full swing!

Himiko armed phone card + Jeanne d'Arc armed phone card blessing!

Plus the personality mask - Achilles!

This is the strongest combat combination Taiyi can currently use without transforming into X.

Himiko's "Oracle of Light + Natural Flesh", Joan of Arc's "Revelation + Restoration of Brilliant Holy Light".

This is the best combination for 'Niijima Sae' who has been strengthened by negative energy.

“You bastard!” After noticing the abnormal increase in Taichi’s combat power during the close combat, Niijima Sae couldn’t help but smack his lips, “It’s as if you saw my next move… No, did you really see it?”

"Then I'll just poke your eyes out first!" Niijima Sae said harshly.

But her attack on Taiyi only made him jump and cry out in pain, but there was no external injury... not even a blood mark.

On the contrary, every time Taiyi hit her without using his weapons, she would feel unbearable pain that affected her body coordination.

To the point where even her methods of continuing to influence Niijima Sae's mind went awry.

In order to avoid accidentally causing Niijima Sae's mental breakdown, which would cause him to disappear into thin air, 'Niijima Sae' had no choice but to temporarily remove the influence of negative energy on Niijima Sae's mental state.

Let him regain consciousness temporarily.

So that I can go all out to deal with this thief who has an extraordinary origin and even more extraordinary abilities.

Taiyi, who had experienced so many battles, was no longer a weakling. The spear could be wielded with ease in his hands.

Stab, poke, tease, pluck, block, twist, pick, press, chop, and collapse.

Taichi's increasingly faster attack speed made Niijima Sae's response more and more urgent.

Niijima Sae, who was not a calm person to begin with, became even more mentally broken.

Once your mentality explodes, numerous flaws will naturally appear.

Taiyi's advantages are gradually emerging.

At this time, Niijima Sae, who had finally escaped from the mental pollution, collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath and using his hands and feet to try to stay away from the dangerous area.

But after arriving at the door, he found that he had no means of escaping from here. Niijima Sae could only lean weakly against the wall, staring blankly at the increasingly terrifying battle scene in the center of the venue.

No matter if it's the guy wearing a mask who looks like a member of the Phantom Thieves.

Or it could be the thing that had its own appearance before but has now become neither human nor ghost.

If either of their attacks missed, the aftermath on the surrounding environment would make Niijima Sae feel suffocated.

Was he tracking down such a group of monsters before?

When Saeichi Niijima thought back on his previous experiences, he couldn't help but feel grateful that he was lucky to be alive today.

But at the same time, another thought that I didn't want to believe completely took over.

Her sister, Shin Niijima, might really be a member of this Phantom Thieves Group.

Otherwise, there would be no need for people to allow such an annoying person like me to exist.

It can only be that the kid is really trying hard to survive for himself in the team.

Some of the new things that Niijima Sae has come up with in his mind are a bit too deviant. If Niijima really knew about it, he would probably laugh so hard that tears would flow.

After all, among the members of the Phantom Thieves, except for Taichi, who can materialize power into the real world, the other members are unarmed except for a cat... Well, they are just ordinary high school students who have no reliable weapons.

Even out of the bottom line of humanity, they did not dare to hit the hall master in the hall too hard, for fear that killing the hall master would really be related to the previous "disabled" case.

"Is this the limit?" Taichi did not forget to use "talk therapy" to stimulate Niijima Sae while fighting against him. "If this is the limit, then blinding my eyes is just a joke."

"You bastard! Are you still turning on the speakers during the battle?" Niijima Sae shook his head and glared at Taichi with some hatred, "It's making my head hurt!"

Actually, it’s not the speakers.

Jeanne is purifying the negative energy of 'Niijima Sae' with the cooperation of Aix.

It's hard to say whether it works or not, since I haven't tried it before.

But just give it a try. If it works, that’s great. If not, you can think of other methods.

In short, expel the negative energy from Niijima Sae's body as much as possible.

"What on earth is going on? Can't anyone explain it to me?"

"Tsk, he looks like a smart guy, but turns out to be an idiot." Pressing his head, 'Niijima Sae' glared at Niijima Sae.

All the information was instantly poured into Niijima Sae's cognition.

This is the privilege of being a shadow facing one's true self.

Let the other party understand their current situation in a short time.

Well, she also instilled the existence of the Phantom Thieves into Niijima Sae's cognition.

Perhaps, this would allow Niijima Sae to collapse faster, and then resist the existence of 'Niijima Sae'.

By then, she will be able to use the privileges of the fourth generation shadow to forcibly monopolize the existence of Niijima Sae.

"...So, you are me?" Niijima Sae pressed his head and looked at 'Niijima Sae' with a look of disgust on his face.

"That's it! This is what I've been waiting for!" After seeing Niijima Sae's attitude, 'Niijima Sae' was so excited that he even forgot about defense and was directly grabbed by Taichi and knocked out.

"...Okay, it's me." Niijima Sae grinned, "Whether it's to take away the real monopoly from me, or to gain more power by any means necessary and keep climbing up."

"Yes, it's me, my true heart!"

“…Huh?” Niijima Sae’s facial expression was a little dull as he found that the script was somewhat contrary to what he had expected.

Chapter 81 Negative Energy is Steadily Incubating

Personality mask... or 'shadow' is somewhat of a rip-off.

Normally they can be as rampant as they want.

However, once the original body acknowledges the existence of the shadow, the dark side suppressed in the deepest part of the heart, they will become... the power of the original body.

So, when Niijima Sae acknowledged the existence of the hall master 'Niijima Sae', 'Niijima Sae' realized that his power was disappearing quickly... To be precise, his power as the hall master was disappearing.

But in contrast, another force, negative energy, is increasing rapidly.

"What a joke! Just because I admit my inner jealousy and meanness, I will... be unwilling! I won't accept it--!" The body of the third-stage hall master 'Niijima Sae' began to collapse.

But as the body collapsed, a black miasma-like fog was rapidly condensing.

Negative energy monsters are hatching.

On the other side, a mask slowly appeared on Niijima Sae's face.

Like a mask at a masquerade ball, it covers the area around the eyes and the tip of the nose, and has a diagonal decoration on top of the head.

"This power is... Kami, pull--!" Enduring the intense pain of tearing off the mask, Niijima Sae tore off the mask on his face.

[“I am… the mysterious female thief Mistress C. Master, I think you have something worth stealing.”]

+1 for members of the brain council.

"Is this the power of the Phantom Thieves?" Sae Niijima, who has successfully obtained the Personality Mask, looked up at Taichi and asked.

"No, it's just the power of the personality mask." Taichi explained, "The power of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts... that's something only the inner circle can understand."

"Also, can you leave this palace by your own strength now?" Taiichi asked Niijima Sae, "The palace master has become your power, so it won't take long for this palace to return to its original state."

"How do I leave? No one has taught me, I don't know how." Niijima Sae blinked and looked at Taichi and asked, "Little boy, can you please help me?"

"Yeah, yeah." Taiyi slowly took out his cell phone from his pocket, "Forget it, just treat it as a side trip. When I leave, I'll send you back to the real world as well."

"Next is my advice. After returning to the real world, take your sister and escape immediately." Taiyi adjusted his breathing and looked at the ball of mist that had condensed into an egg shape.

"Why are you running away? Is it because of that strange fog?" Niijima Sae looked at the egg-shaped fog, looking eager to try. "Come to think of it, I haven't used this power since I got it. How about I use it here..."

"That's not what the Personality Mask should deal with." Taichi reminded, "It's a monster."

The expression on Niijima Sae's face froze instantly.

"Huh? Monster? Why, why is there a monster in my palace?"

"It's probably because of your previous negative emotions of wanting to climb up by any means necessary, which attracted negative energy." Taiyi replied, "In short, this ball of mist has obtained sufficient nutrition during the time it has been in your palace, and it will hatch and be born soon."

"In other words, when your temple disappears, the monster should appear in the real world like a chick breaking out of its shell."

"Can't we get rid of the monster here?" Niijima Sae asked nervously, clenching his fists.

"This monster doesn't even have a physical body now, how can we fight it?" Taiichi looked at Niijima Sae and asked back.

Although the combination of the Saint and the Miko can weaken negative energy, it cannot eliminate it.
