Even steel will be easily corroded upon contact.

But strangely, the alien itself is not corroded by its own blood.

It's not that the body itself is immune to blood corrosion, but rather that the blood flowing within the body does not corrode the body itself.

"What is this?"

Nozomi Tojo, who had collapsed to the ground, stared tremblingly at the creature before her.

She had been under a lot of mental stress during this period and was already feeling exhausted.

I felt a long-lost sense of peace while in the coffee shop, and my tense nerves immediately relaxed.

If she hadn't been talking to the members of the Light Music Club at the time, she would have even wanted to take a nap.

Before she could relax for long, that chill returned.

Then the glass shattered, and they encountered a monster.

Nozomi Tojo felt she was on the verge of a breakdown.

Why did she have to go through something like this?!

"Xi! Are you alright?!"

Supporting Tojo Nozomi, Honoka Takasaka asked anxiously.

Although she was actually very scared, Honoka Takasaka still put on a brave front.

She sensed that her friends were emotionally distraught and knew she absolutely could not panic.

In many horror movies, people go insane not simply because they have poor coping abilities, but often because the people around them break down one after another.

Negative emotions accumulated and were passed on, eventually leading to the breakdown and madness of a group of people.

"I'm fine, Guoguo."

Feeling Honoka Takasaka's slightly trembling hand, Nozomi Tojo took a deep breath and said.

'Calm down, don't panic.'

'Don't be afraid, stay calm.'

'Stay calm, stay calm, stay calm.'

Tojo Nozomi kept repeating to herself, reminding herself to stay calm.

You must not lose your sense of proportion.

"------"

Tilting its head, the alien let out a roar, as if confirming something.

Another alien beside it responded with a low growl, its blade-like fingers rubbing against the ground.

Although the opposite sex in front of her did not have eyes, Nozomi Tojo could feel the gaze of these two monsters.

Are they coming for me?

For some reason, this idea popped into Nozomi Tojo's head.

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Tojo Nozomi was almost certain that these two monsters were definitely after her.

At least they came for her appearance.

Thinking of the smile she had on her face before leaving in the mirror, Nozomi Tojo seemed to understand something.

"Xi! Run!"

Seeing the two monsters poised to attack, Honoka Takasaka grabbed Nozomi Tojo and ran into the depths of the alley.

At this time, the most important thing to do is to get back to the main road or a crowded place.

But it was clear that these two monsters wouldn't be kind enough to let them pass by.

Honoka Takasaka dared not gamble that these two monsters would be kind enough to let them pass, just like in the movies.

If you bet wrong, it's all over. This isn't a game; there's no second chance.

"Eh eh eh?"

Nozomi Tojo, who was being pulled along, was still trying to compose herself when she was suddenly startled.

The alien, which had been hesitant, rushed out as soon as it saw the two move.

Two girls weaved back and forth through the alley, dodging the monster behind them.

The two aliens followed behind at a leisurely pace, like cats playing with mice.

The Xenomorph is affected by the parasites that lived during its facehugger stage as it grows.

These two aliens might be the result of a stray cat being parasitized.

They are exactly the same in their attitude towards their prey.

Its nimble tail would occasionally scoop up some debris and throw it at the two of them.

The two girls could only hide in a sorry state.

until.............

"what!"

The smooth calf was grazed by the debris thrown by the alien, and immediately became red and swollen.

Amidst gasps of surprise, Honoka Takasaka stumbled and fell to the ground.

His clothes were filthy.

They looked like refugees fleeing famine.

"Guoguo!"

Nozomi Tojo anxiously crouched down next to Honoka Takasaka.

Given Honoka's current condition, it's clear she can't continue running.

Hearing the sounds getting closer and closer behind her, Nozomi Tojo's heart was filled with anxiety.

As Nozomi Tojo moved, a round object fell out of her bag.

After rolling a few times on the ground, it stopped in front of Nozomi Tojo.

"This is................"

Noticing the red watch out of the corner of her eye, Nozomi Tojo suddenly realized that her strange behavior seemed to have started from the discovery of this watch.

But I don't know why I completely ignored this before.

At that moment, the red watch seemed to radiate an eerie light in Nozomi Tojo's eyes.

This light could be a beacon of hope, or it could be the temptation of a demon that plunges it into the abyss.

Tojo Nozomi's hand froze in place for a moment.

"Xi! Run!"

"Guoguo............."

Honoka Takasaka struggled to sit up from the ground and said anxiously.

Looking at Honoka Takasaka's pale face covered in cold sweat, Nozomi Tojo seemed to have figured something out.

Picking up the watch from the ground, Tojo Nozomi turned around and resolutely looked at the two monsters in front of her.

Regardless of what this watch actually is, and regardless of the consequences of using it.

At the very least, we can't let Guoguo get into trouble because of her.

Rather, seeing the injured Honoka Takasaka made her feel extremely guilty.

Strangely, after picking up the watch, Nozomi Tojo's unease and fear suddenly disappeared.

It was as if a flame was burning in her heart, dispelling the darkness.

"Xi?! What are you doing?!"

Hearing Honoka Takasaka's anxious voice behind her, Nozomi Tojo said without turning her head:

"It's okay, Guoguo."

"It'll be fine."

It was as if she was comforting Honoka Kousaka, and also as if she was comforting herself.

Tojo Nozomi pressed the clock.

“Ryuki”

The sound effect, which we had already heard once, started playing again.

For some reason, a sentence suddenly appeared in Tojo Nozomi's mind.

Following her inner dictates, Nozomi Tojo subconsciously said:

"If we don't fight, we can't survive."

The next moment, the flames ignited.

A crimson knight emerged from the firelight.

Chapter 596 The Best Knife in the Whole Village

A blazing flame suddenly ignited and almost instantly engulfed Nozomi Tojo.

"hope!"

Honoka Takasaka instinctively reached out her hand, but her fingers retracted instinctively the moment they touched the flames.

Human beings' fear and awe of fire is almost an innate instinct ingrained in their very being.

"I'm fine, Guoguo."

For some reason, Tojo Nozomi's voice sounded somewhat muffled, as if she were speaking through a thick mask.

Looking at the blurry figure of Tojo Nozomi in the flames, Honoka Takasaka suddenly felt that Tojo Nozomi might have grown taller.

Ignoring Honoka's surprise, Nozomi Tojo clenched her fists, feeling the power flowing through her body.

With one step, the burning flames vanished into the air with a bang, as if receiving some kind of command.

The knight, his entire body a deep crimson, stood silently in place.

The body still retained the scent of high temperature.

Two red dots could be vaguely seen beneath the steel mask on his face.

But this crimson color doesn't inspire fear; instead, it evokes a sense of warmth.

'It feels so warm.'

With a hint of disbelief, Tojo Nozomi reached out her hand and looked at her arm in disbelief.

The armor on his right forearm gleamed with a cold light.

A peculiar device was attached to his left forearm.

'Dragon Summoning Machine....'

Subconsciously, Nozomi Tojo uttered the name of the device in her mind, without a trace of doubt.

In that brief moment, she seemed to have seen many things.

The battles experienced by a man named Shinji Kido flashed before my eyes like a movie.

It was like watching a movie, a quick, cursory glance at the opponent's entire battle, from the moment they gained power to their death.

At the end of the video, she saw a majestic figure in black and gold, bending down and taking something from Shinji Kido's body.

(From a certain demon king's wicked sense of humor)

"------"

The alien not far in front of them was howling uneasily.

They sensed a dangerous aura emanating from the creature before them.
