"Hmm... Do you want someone to feed you?"

The first person pursed his lips, took the candy directly from the other person's hand, and said no more.

…After taking a small bite, I realized that the taste was neither ordinary candy nor pumpkin.

So I still don't understand how it was made.

"It's so delicious~! There are so many interesting things in the north area of ​​this miniature garden!"

On the contrary, Hatsune Miku seems to really like the North District, accepting everything from the street scenes to the food.

"What a rare opportunity! I wish Kakine could have a taste too... Speaking of which, where did Kakine go?"

Since leaving, none of them have seen Kakine Teitoku again, and even Hatsune Miku doesn't know where he went.

"Come on, let's go try some other things over there..."

She was about to grab Accelerator's arm and walk away into the distance.

But then he discovered that the first person next to him was no longer following his movements.

He stood still, and even when I tried to pull him, he didn't react.

Accelerator's eyes were fixed straight ahead in a distant direction.

"…ha."

Soon after, he grinned.

"So that's how it is, huh? You little rascal... you went and pulled this stunt, didn't you?"

"Eh?"

This is the sound Hatsune Miku makes when she looks completely bewildered and can't understand at all.

——————————————————————————————————

then.

Somewhere on a distant cliff.

"Among the contestants who are qualified to be our opponents... including 'Salamandra,' there are four in total, right?"

"The three of them... that pumpkin is ineligible to participate in our Gift Game due to rule restrictions, and then..."

A man in a black military uniform, a woman in white, and behind them, a massive, porcelain-like figure.

as well as.

A petite girl in a black polka-dot outfit stood directly in front of the group.

That's right, they are the community that recently planned to invade the Northern District... a community with a Demon King among them.

"Wesley".

At this moment, the girl directly interrupted Weser and Ratine's analysis of the situation below.

"The adversary who threatens us has arrived."

After these words were spoken, Weser and Latine's expressions changed instantly.

It became very shaky.

“...that kid.”

"Tsk, Master! If that kind of guy were to come to our Gift Game—"

“I know, Lating.”

She didn't turn her head, but both of them understood what Pest meant.

As far as they know, even including the community 'Salamandra', there are no more than three people who can actually be their opponents.

However, there is one exception.

I saw it from the very beginning: white hair, red eyes, that human with an aura that was completely extraordinary…

Just as it was said about a month ago.

A month later, he also arrived in this city in Hakoniwa Kita Ward.

"That guy's strength, tsk... I hate to admit it, but neither I nor Latin, even with Shutrom's help, could possibly beat him!"

"The existence of that human was an accident, however, we still have ways to deal with it. In the past month, I have carefully sorted out my thoughts about him—"

"Oh, an accident, is it?"

—?!

Just then, a strange voice came from behind them.

"Who?"

Weser raised his flute and turned around with Latine, suddenly looking behind them.

"If we're talking about an accident, then it should be someone who was 'completely not part of the plan,' right? Hmm, then I guess I fit that description."

As the Demon King, Pest slowly turned her head and looked directly in the direction of the newcomer.

"Yo."

then.

The person who appeared in that position was a young man who looked quite ordinary.

He was dressed in high-end modern clothing, had brown hair, and golden eyes that slowly shimmered in his gaze.

He smiled as he looked at the Demon King and his group.

"It must be a real shame for you to be hiding in a place like this. Well then, how about I, the unexpected one, also come and say hello to you?"

“Scum.”

boom----! ! !

Kakine Teitoku is the second-ranked Level 5 Holistic Theory Level 5 ...

Pure white wings composed of primordial matter exploded behind him in an instant.

Chapter 788 The Demon King's Gift Game

"you--?!"

Wesley was the first to react because he was closest to the young man.

So he gripped the magic flute tightly in his hand.

"Tsk, I have no idea where you came from..."

Boom—then a gust of wind swept up.

The magic flute in Weser's hand emitted a magical purple glow, and at the same time, his entire aura began to become extraordinary.

"Since you dare to show your face in front of us and spout such nonsense, then prepare to die, kid!"

He crushed the ground beneath his feet.

The rocks and the wind distorted because of his movements, and the boundaries of sound were broken by his body in that instant.

Weser's body leaped into the air at a speed unparalleled above the speed of sound.

He raised the magic flute high, his eyes filled with absolute killing intent.

——Qiang!

Then, it was blocked.

"what?!"

In a manner he could not comprehend, the pair of pure white wings did not even budge.

Simply by staying beside the young man, Weser's attack was instantly neutralized by some incomprehensible means.

The young man simply smiled and looked at himself.

He glanced at himself with a peripheral vision, that is, in a way that completely ignored him.

boom! ! !

The next instant, Weser's body was blasted away by some invisible impact.

"This guy...?!"

La Ting, who was standing to the side, was equally shocked.

After regaining her senses, she quickly picked up her flute and began to play.

Buzz————

That was a demonic sound capable of manipulating people's hearts.

With a range that spreads hundreds of meters in an instant, the demonic sound swept across the surroundings, bringing all sentient beings under its control.

One second later.

The flute that La Ting held in her hand trembled along with the movement of her fingertips.

"How...how could this be...this guy! My voice doesn't affect him?!"

The young man remained standing in the same spot.

His hands were in his pockets, his expression casual, and he stood there indifferently.

Then, he glanced at La Ting out of the corner of his eye.

La Ting's gaze instantly met his.

——Swish.

La Ting felt an indescribable burning sensation throughout her body.

"Ugh—?! Guwaa ...

The magic flute fell from her hand, and Latin clutched her head and screamed.

After kneeling on the ground, you can see that a very strange phenomenon has occurred around La Ting's limbs.

In other words, it turned into sand.

Although not all four limbs turned to sand, it is certain that various parts of her body showed signs of sandification—even some of her vital internal organs were affected.

"that's it?"

The brown-haired youth looked away with some disappointment.

"Don't say I didn't consider the possibility of a powerful enemy. Could it be that we've already lost after just one exchange?"

Kakine Teitoku didn't even bother to look at Ratine on the ground anymore; he seemed quite certain that Ratine had no ability left to resist him.

"Lating...go downstairs!"

With a crash, amidst the rubble, the wounded Weser finally emerged from the mound of earth.

"Focus on completing the game's content; leave this guy to me."

La Ting could only click her tongue in amazement and leaped directly onto the street below.

Of course, Wesley, who said such a thing, actually knows his own limitations.

However, he had no idea of ​​the man's strength.

'Damn it, what on earth is going on?!'

Weser finally understood why he had been knocked away. The instant the opponent launched the attack, it seemed as if an extremely hot flame had burned all over his body.

The point is the whole; it spreads instantly to every part of Wesser's body, including every corner inside. Although he held on, if he were to be attacked like that again, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to survive.

That feeling... was like being directly scorched by the sun!

"Step back, Weser."

Meanwhile, other sounds followed.

Between Weser and Kakine Teitoku, another shadow descended.

It was a figure in pitch black.

"Owner?"
