Teresa won't starve

Passed through a red silhouette phantom, stabbed into the 'fragile' solid wood floor, and Rita herself was nowhere to be seen.

"Where are you looking? Idiot!"

At some point, Rita had already stood on Jizo Yuhun's back, and chopped the sickle in her hand towards its unprotected head.

In this regard, Jizo Yuhun's counterattack method is to rotate around itself as the center, a nearly 360-degree round cut without dead ends, including all comparable positions of Rita.

But when it still skipped over Rita's body, only a red phantom was left on the spot.

"Here again!"

Rita once again appeared in the blind spot of its vision, and this time finally cut the scythe into its black body.It just feels the same as cutting the 'eggshell' before, not to mention no force at all, as if it hasn't caused much damage to it.

Then Jizo Yuhun, who was reacted in time, stuck his long knife on the path that the sickle must pass, and the other cut on Rita's shoulder.

Unsurprisingly, it went blank again.

however--

Keng!

Rita circled to a blind spot again, but was blocked by Jizo Yuhun just as she swung her sickle.

This unexpected situation made Rita stunned for a moment, but because of this, she missed the best time to dodge, and chose to block the long knife coming from the side.

Keng!

But what she didn't expect was.

Although the force of this blow was very strong, Rita's hands felt numb after the shock, but it was not enough to knock it into the air, as if the power of Jizo Yuhun had weakened.

as predicted.

Sensing the change in the power in his hand, Jizo Yuhun immediately gave up fighting Rita and rushed towards Xia who had already destroyed an energy body artifact in front of the worship hall.

As the saying goes, taking advantage of its illness and killing it, how could Rita, who finally gained the advantage, let it go so easily?

"Leave it to me!!"

Rita didn't care about attacking where it was difficult to defend against, and directly used the boost effect brought by the scythe.A dodge came to the opposite of Jizo Yuhun, brandishing a sickle to force it to stay here.

It's just that Rita's sickle was just about to touch Jizo Yuhun, Jizo Yuhun turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was already at the side of the worship hall, raising the two knives to kill this blasphemy The girl beheaded.

"!!!"

Xia, whose body has not yet recovered, and Karen, who has recovered a little but can't move; looking at the two swords cut from the top of her head at this time, there is no way to avoid it.

They could only watch the two knives fall, as if their lives were about to end here.

Ka-!

979 "Need a break?"

Obviously, one second ago, Jizo Yuhun's chest was still empty; but the next second, it was pierced by a silver knife, and the 'wound' was at the center, cracked like porcelain.

Jizo Yuhun also temporarily stopped his movements.

--what happened?

Because of this sudden accident, Xia and Karen, who were frozen in place, had such a question at the same time.

But soon someone answered them with actions——

Hey!

A small figure appeared in front of the two of them, but because they were all looking up at this time, they could only see the touch of pink from the corner of their eyes, and they had a common understanding in their hearts at this moment.

then.

The little girl jumped up vigorously, jumping to a height that was almost as high as Jizo Yuhun.Then he clenched his right hand into a fist, and punched Jizo Yuhun's 'wound'.

Then something incomprehensible happened——

Bang!

It is obviously small in stature and light in weight, plus it is in the air with no leverage.

However, the little girl threw the Ksitigarbow Soul into the air with one punch, causing the already unstable Ksitigarbow Soul to drop a large number of black fragments in the process of flying out.

A few seconds after falling on the ground, it turned into a puff of black air, flew back and got into the little girl's exposed skin.

It's just that this detail was too dark because of the dim light, and the process of the little girl's appearance was too abrupt, and the result of the Jizo Yuhun being smashed into the air was so shocking that Karen didn't notice this detail at all.

Instead, focus on another matter.

"Rin? Why—"

Karen looked at the little girl who saved her life at this critical moment, and she didn't know whether to thank her or criticize her: "You will appear here?"

Although according to her personality, it is not surprising that she would take the initiative to come here; but if she really wanted to come here, she should have come a long time ago. Why is it at this time?

"Um......"

Teresa thought for a while, considering how to get back: "I've been looking outside for a long time, but I couldn't find a way to get in here. So I just dug—"

"I didn't ask you this!"

Although she didn't say it directly, the way Karen looked at her told her: Why do you still come here?

Teresa looked up at Karen for a while, and replied calmly: "In order to keep the agreement."

"What agreement?"

The similar nouns made Karen couldn't help but glance at Rita, but Rita obviously didn't know anything about it, so she could only shake her head at Karen, expressing that she didn't understand what Teresa was talking about.

"A promise with her."

Teresa turned sideways to look at Jizo Yuhun who had been completely vaporized after being hit by her, stood there quietly and let the black air fly around her for a few times, and was completely absorbed by the skin.

"What are you doing!?"

Karen was startled when she saw this scene, and raised her hand to grab Teresa's collar, trying to drag her out of the black air.But then she was easily dodged by Teresa, and the black air was sucked away by her visible to the naked eye.

"it does not matter."

Teresa stared at her with those still clear blue eyes, as if telling her that she was not affected by the power of Corroding Herrscher.

But the more this happened, the more worried Karen became: "Do you know what you are doing!?"

"I know. And—"

As she said that, Teresa looked at Xia with some surprise and some relief.The memory obtained from the black air made him clearly understand what kind of existence Xia is at this time: "I know more than you."

"..."

Karen glanced back, her face full of inexplicable Xia.Some don't understand what exactly she means.

Then she saw the little girl standing not far from the opposite side, who suddenly walked left and right with her chin in her hands, as if she was thinking about something.

"That's right! Just do it!"

Teresa suddenly clenched her right hand and smashed it into the palm of her left hand.

Then, under the bewildered gaze of the two people on the opposite side, he stepped back about ten meters away, pulled out the demon sword that he hadn't used a few times so far, pointed at the two people on the opposite side and said, "I can let you rest for a while."

"???"

980 "Yellow Spring"

What does Teresa want to do?

It's actually very simple: she wants to be the final boss once!

She received a gift from the Herrscher just now, and her physique has been greatly enhanced; at the same time, she also has some memories belonging to the Herrscher, so she learned that Kasumi is Sakura's reincarnation.

Then according to the 'agreement', she only needs Xia, or Sakura, to be with Kallen.

This is not such a difficult thing!

I believe that as long as she tells the truth, even if Ekalen suspects that she is lying, she will still choose to believe part of it. With a foundation of trust, it will be much easier later.

But the problem is-

After receiving this gift, she got stuck instead?

First of all, the Corroding Herrscher must be eliminated or re-sealed.And she, who has merged with the Corroding Herrscher, can't get around it no matter what.

Second.

She found that she couldn't find any way to get out of this 'world' except for 'character death'.

In addition, 'death' is never a comfortable thing, so Teresa had the idea before - to make her 'death' more meaningful.

......

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Looking at the little girl whose behavior suddenly became inexplicable, Karen suspected that her mind might be affected by the Herrscher Corruptor, and couldn't help but frowned and became worried about her.

"..."

Teresa felt that she was acting embarrassingly here, and the other party had no intention of cooperating with her in the performance. She couldn't help but shook her head and sighed: "This is not okay! If this continues, I can't end it!"

In fact, if she thinks about it carefully, she can stop here.With her ability, she can completely suppress Corrosion Herrscher's consciousness.

But, who told her that there are still many people waiting for her in the 'home'?

What's more, for Sister Sakura who lost her memory, and Karen who doesn't know "me" very well, it doesn't really matter if she is there or not, right?

On the contrary, if he continues to stay here, sooner or later he will become a light bulb for those two people.

"Ugh!"

Theresa sighed softly, and stabbed the demon knife into the floor under her feet.

Then an inexplicable aura filled the air, covering the entire underground space in the blink of an eye, making the place seem to become pitch black all of a sudden: "If this is the case, let me choose for you."

......

"!!!" x3

Maybe a second, maybe many seconds.

When the three of them came back to their senses, they found that they had come outside, to a suburb surrounded by mountains and water, woods and grass.

"What is this place?"

"This is......"

Karen and Xia glanced at each other, obviously they knew this place.

And, almost at the same time, they turned around from two directions and looked at the little girl standing a dozen meters behind them, wiping the blade with a cloth.

"That knife!!"

Although Kallen has seen the knife in her hand many times, she did have the idea of ​​"seems to have seen it somewhere"; but until now she really recognized that the shape of the knife was not exactly the same as that of Jizo Yuhun except that the color was not exactly the same.

"Well, that's right."

Throwing away the useless knife-cleaning cloth, looking at the inexplicably shiny demon knife in her hand; Teresa slashed lightly against the wind, adapting to the length, weight and resistance of the knife: "This is Jizo Yuhun."

"But it's not the Spiritual Knife."

I added a sentence in my heart, just to distinguish between the two.

Although Teresa couldn't see the difference...

"is it?"

Hearing Teresa's words, Karen had some guesses in her heart.

But she didn't want to face such a result, her eyes flickered with a hint of request:

"Rin. Stop playing, we should go back."

"..."

Teresa looked at Karen without saying a word, and Karen also looked at her motionlessly.This made the two people next to them who still didn't understand the situation had to stand beside them as punishment.

......

Until a while passed.

The bodies of the motionless people almost froze, and it was only then that Teresa reacted from the original puppet shape.
