A Japanese-style shrine maiden dressed in a shrine maiden outfit, with white twin tails.

She was wearing a somewhat cruel smile.

He looked at the group from 'Perseus'.

"Let's learn a thing or two from that guy... Time to dismantle the trash, I'll slaughter you all in ten minutes, you small fry!"

Chapter 779 Protoss Argol

We must engage the enemy without seeing them or being detected by them.

Logically speaking, this is something that is too unimaginable, almost like something that cannot be accomplished.

…However.

For the people in front of them, however, the matter became quite simple.

boom! !

The one who took action was a young man with enormous wings on his back.

"Don't worry."

Kakine Teitoku stood in the very center of the hall.

He chuckled and looked around at the empty lobby.

"If you can't even withstand this level of impact, then it only proves that you're not cut out for this line of work from the start."

Kakine Teitoku, the wings behind him shone like the sun in a brilliant daylight.

It was a light so holy it seemed to burn away all the evil in the universe.

"What a bunch of lowlifes, scoundrels."

Squeak—bang bang bang thud—!!

Then, endless sounds continued to erupt from the surrounding air.

In a space where nothing should exist, countless invisible people fell to the ground one after another.

"Cough... Ah!"

"This is impossible, this guy...we clearly already!"

"Yes, you did see me."

The soldiers who fell to the ground were from 'Perseus'. They lay there with great resentment, staring wide-eyed at the young man before them.

It only took one strike.

This man, dressed in unusual clothes and with brown hair, easily knocked down everyone present by simply flapping the wings behind him.

What kind of blessing is it? What is the principle behind it? And what legends and divine power does it originate from?

Although they didn't know the answers to all these questions, the soldiers still remembered one thing.

It was mentioned in the game rules.

Once a participant in this game of gifts is seen by the organizer, 'Perseus,' it is sufficient to determine that they have been disqualified from the competition.

This information is judged directly by the sandplay therapy center, and there is absolutely no possibility of any error.

--However.

"Damn it! What on earth is going on?!"

Those soldiers who had fallen to the ground, whose cloaking methods had been broken, were naturally beyond saving, but they still couldn't figure out the answer to the situation they were in.

Ahead, the man with strange wings should have been noticed by all of them the moment he attacked them.

In this situation, based on the rules of the Gift Game, it is sufficient to define him as having lost in this Gift Game.

But why——

"Wait, why does the contract document still show that this guy hasn't lost...?!"

Even though Kakine Teitoku was already standing in front of these people, openly and without any concealment.

If that's the case—why? Why is he still considered as having not lost?!

Incomprehensible.

However, even if they figured out the secret, once their invisibility ability was discovered by the opponent using unknown means, they would have no way to turn the tide.

Emperor Kakine smiled as he pleased.

In front of all these soldiers, he completely disappeared from the space before their eyes.

"What a boring trick."

"In the area behind the scenes," Accelerator said, clicking his tongue in amazement.

He was leaning against the wall with his arms wrapped around himself.

And Kakine Teitoku's true form... stood right in front of him.

In other words, the Kakine Teitoku who just stood in front of those soldiers was merely an avatar made of unreal matter.

Although judging from his aura, appearance, clothing, and even his basic particles, he was no different from the real Kakine Teitoku.

"Wouldn't it be fine if we just took action and destroyed all these guys from inside the building?"

"Take it easy, kid."

The second person immediately waved his hand.

"A straightforward approach is indeed very convenient and efficient, but unfortunately, that alone is not enough to achieve my goal."

"how?"

"You're asking me how...? Can't you tell?"

Accelerator narrowed his eyes and immediately understood what Kakine Teitoku's intention was.

If it's something like instantly defeating all the enemies in a room and immediately arriving at the boss's room, then that's something that can be done with ease.

just.

What Kakine Teitoku wanted to do was to give the other party the most direct visual impact from all aspects.

Mental, physical, and strategic.

It's not just about delivering an extraordinary blow to the opponent in a physical sense, but also about maximizing the impact from all aspects and angles.

In this situation, it is sufficient to demonstrate a portion of one's power from the simplest perspective.

"Boring as hell."

The first person casually skipped over the topic and then looked at the people around him.

Izayoi Sakamaki was beaming with excitement.

Ren had an incredulous expression on his face.

And, Kakine Teitoku, who just said those words.

Everyone else except these three was responsible for staying in the first-level area to intercept and defeat the surrounding situation and anyone who might see them.

Perhaps relying solely on Asuka Kudo and Yo Kasukabe would be somewhat dangerous, so Hatsune Miku volunteered and directly gave up the opportunity to fight the leader of 'Perseus'.

"This is truly unbelievable...!"

However, Ren could not keep up with their thought processes no matter what he did.

Even now, he hasn't had time to fully process what just happened.

Because this is something that can't be summed up in a single word like "shocking".

"That, Hades' helmet, the gift of invisibility... how exactly was it broken? And although many of these are fakes, the effect of the real thing seems to have been broken in an instant as well. And... and why... when Mr. Kakine Teitoku was discovered, the contract didn't show that he was disqualified from the competition?"

He poured out all the doubts in his heart in one breath.

Nevertheless, none of the three answered Ren's question directly.

Ren himself was well aware that it was absolutely impossible for him to stand on the same level as these three people in his current state.

but.

After experiencing all of this, he finally realized something.

In a practical sense, it was something he should have been completely convinced of long ago.

"…Everyone."

Ren looked intently at the three people in front of him.

“This time, we can really… defeat Perseus’s Gift Game and win back our former comrades, right?”

no respond.

However, both Accelerator and Kakine Teitoku already conveyed the answer in their eyes when they looked at Jin.

"Alright, little one, you're a grown man."

Izayoi Sakamaki casually grabbed Jin's arm.

"Next, all you need to do is observe what is about to happen."

"You...be careful. I heard from Black Rabbit that although Luos himself isn't a particularly powerful warrior, he does possess..."

"I know, that guy seems to have a demon king sealed in his hand, right?"

That's why Luos dares to make such a fuss.

Because he possesses a genuine demon king, though he controls him in a sealed form, it is still a demon king.

For a typical community, it would be equivalent to a natural disaster.

"That's perfect! Haha! That's exactly why I wanted to participate in this game!"

The moment the word "Demon King" was mentioned, Izayoi Sakamaki's eyes lit up with enthusiasm.

Kakine Teitoku and Accelerator exchanged a glance.

"The Demon King, is that right?"

"I really don't know how long that guy can hold out like this?"

——————————————————————————————————————

The road to the second level was unobstructed.

It seems that Hatsune Miku and her friends have already eliminated all the enemies along the way.

then.

The vast, boundless hall, as expansive as a mountain, was thus presented before everyone.

A pure white hall.

The four walked along the straight road, and after a while, they could see clearly who the figure in the deepest part was.

A figure sits on the throne, a blond youth.

Luos Perseus.

The young man sat quietly on the throne, showing no signs of the arrogance and haughtiness he had displayed when they first met.

Everyone can sense it.

There was only a heavy, gloomy atmosphere.

"…What?"

Even Ren realized something was wrong, and he involuntarily stopped in his tracks.

Accelerator, Izayoi Sakamaki, and Teitoku Kakine each stood in front of Jin.

"…you."

This is not referring to 'NoName'.

Instead, he went straight for the white-haired, red-eyed man.

Luos opened his eyes, and the emotions revealed in them were clear even to those unfamiliar with him.

regret.
