The story we started

[“Uh wow!?”]

[The shock wave that spread out when the two sides fought blew Kousaka Kyosuke, who was sitting not far away, to the ground and rolled over. Every time he rolled, his injured right shoulder was further injured. After he stopped rolling, he couldn't help but cover his right shoulder and groaned in pain. He felt that his shoulder bone had been completely broken into garlic cloves.]

[“Hmm——”]

[On the other side, Zaimokuza gritted his teeth and grabbed the horns of the enemy in front of him, thereby blocking the most deadly thrust attack from the center, and used his feet as brakes to continuously reduce the potential energy of the mad bull in front of him. ]

[Finally, after they both left a huge trail of hundreds of meters on the ground with yellow sand flying everywhere, Zaimokuza finally completely neutralized Zain's attack.]

【“——This is impossible!”】

[At the moment when Zaimokuza completely blocked his attack, Zain, who was keeping his head down and charging, could no longer hold back and shouted, his words full of shock.]

【"drink!"】

【But Zaimokuza didn't intend to give it time to continue to be stunned. Knowing that time was running out, he raised his left hand that was holding Zain's right corner without hesitation the next moment after neutralizing the opponent's attack, with his five fingers together like a knife.】

[The pearls inlaid on his left wrist armor emit a red light, and the red light, along with the flames, wraps around his left hand, and then chops forward! ]

[Almighty Awakening: Flame Hand Blade! ]

【boom! 】

[“Aa ...

[Amid Zain's painful screams, a long horn with a red and hot broken part flew up into the sky and then fell to the ground.]

[It staggered backwards, holding the broken horn in the middle of its forehead with both hands, blood continued to flow from its forehead, staining its entire face red. Zaimokuza's hand knife directly cut off Zain's proud giant horn from the root! ]

【And it’s not over yet. 】

[“Taku!”]

【This time, Zaimokuza raised his right hand, clenched his five fingers into a fist, and after the pearl on his wrist flashed for the second time, a red light emanated from his right fist, and flames overflowed from the gaps between his five clenched fingers.】

[He stepped forward to catch up with the retreating Zain, roaring and punching it in the face.]

[Almighty Awakening·Flame Strike! ]

【boom!!!】

[“Hmm——”]

[When this punch hit Zain's face, a blazing flame and shock wave splashed out, and a noticeable crack spread out from the place where the fist hit.]

[With an indistinct scream, the tall figure was unexpectedly knocked out by the blow and spun around, falling heavily into the wilderness in the distance! ]

[It's over! Final blow! ]

【"drink--"】

【Zaimokuza: Place your left hand across your waist, extend your right hand forward, bend your knees, and lower your waist and body center of gravity.】

【Buzz——————】

[The red spirit stone on his waist was spinning at high speed at this moment, and a huge, scarlet "flame" totem appeared under his feet with a deafening buzzing sound. The totem's patterns were burning with fierce flames, scorching the surrounding ground with crackling sounds, and white disgust rose from the soil.]

[With his red eyes staring at Zain who was struggling to stand up in the distance, Zaimokuza turned his right foot on the totem on the sole of his foot, and the flames on the totem and Zaimokuza's body turned into rotating red light particles, flowing towards the sole of his right foot in a spiral pattern.]

[When the light particles were completely absorbed by his right foot, the pearls on the ankle armor burst into dazzling brilliance, and a blazing wave of fire spread from the sole of his foot, and the ground beneath his feet was burned black in an instant.]

【“!”】

[With only a flame scarf wrapped around his neck, Zaimokuza raised his right foot and ran towards Zain in the spreading flames. Every rise and fall of his right foot left a dark footprint in the wilderness.]

[When the two were about ten meters apart, he jumped up with his body and belly up in the air. His red flame scarf left a dazzling flame afterimage as he turned over, and then he kicked the enemy with his right foot! ]

【Almighty Awakening·Knight Kick! 】

[“——What the hell!!!”]

【boom--】

[As Zaimokuza roared at the top of his lungs, his right foot kicked out in mid-air and suddenly a dazzling red light burst out from under his foot, and a blazing fireball condensed from his right foot.]

[He was just like Nezha in the myth, riding on the wind-fire wheel, kicking the fireball at Zain who was looking up at him, and kicking on its magnificent chest.]

[“——Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!”]

[When the kick landed on the armor on Zain's chest, boundless flames exploded and spread at the location hit by the kick, completely engulfing his body, and a painful wail sounded in the flames.]

【Smell.】

[A huge "flame" totem appeared on Zain's chest, and then a strong red shock wave erupted, and the tall body wrapped in flames was kicked away! ]

【"ku——uga!!!"】

【boom--!!!!!!】

[Zain, who was kicked into the air, roared with hatred with his last bit of strength, and then the totem on his chest spread out countless cracks emitting golden light in all directions, and his body exploded.]

[A huge fireball expanded in all directions with Zain's exploding body as the center, but after the fireball reached a diameter of twenty meters, it suddenly shrank back toward the center of the explosion, swallowing up all the flames and impact like a black hole singularity.]

【call out--】

[When all the explosive flames were completely swallowed up, a transparent red wave spread in all directions, sweeping across the four directions and raising the temperature in the wilderness by several degrees.]

[Some tiny ashes scattered from the air where the explosion disappeared. They were the remains of Zain.]

[Zu-Zain-Da, after being disqualified from playing the game of "Kikiru", secretly started playing the game. Although his power was greatly enhanced compared to the ancient times, he was still defeated by Zaimokuza Yoshiki, the modern successor of his family's ancient enemy.]

[With boundless resentment and unwillingness, it fell into an eternal sleep different from previous seals, with no chance of resurrection.]

79. Say goodbye for a long time

[This battle ended with the enemy's complete defeat. The death of Zu-Zain-Da, the leader and the strongest of the group, also marked the end of the Zu group's Gurongi's withdrawal from the game process of "Kikiru", and completely became history. 180txt.com]

[From the time it committed the crime to the time it was defeated, it only took one day, but both Kousaka Kyousuke and Zaimokuza Yoshiki felt that the day was extremely long, as if a whole month had passed.]

[And now, this day has finally come to an end with the strongest attack of the almighty element awakening mode. ]

【"it's over……"】

[Kousaka Kyosuke walked over here with his hands covering his shoulders, reached out to catch the ashes falling from the sky, closed his eyes and silently prayed for the victims who died on this day.]

[Now the murderer has been executed in the name of justice, and those who died can rest in peace. ]

【“…”】

[Zaimokuza, who was crouching on the ground, slowly stood up from the ground. The heat and smoke from the fading flames rose from the bottom of his right foot and dissipated into the air.]

[He raised his head towards the sky, his eyes still burning with flames as he stared at the sun that was already setting in the distance. It was unknown what he was thinking.]

【call out.】

[The wind in the wilderness blew the flame scarf around his neck. The long scarf fluttered in the air, driving the flame-colored light and shadow, making Zaimokuza's back look like a ranger riding a horse in the Western pioneer era, lonely and strong.]

[Although the battle has come to an end, Zaimokuza knows that there is still something he must do. ]

[He turned to face Kousaka Kyousuke and took his own steps.]

[But just as he took a step, Zaimokuza's movements suddenly stopped and he let out a surprised sound.]

【"Well--!?"】

[Buzz—buzz—buzz—]

[The red spirit stone on his waist, which was as red as lava, suddenly flashed rapidly. After several changes, it faded back to its original red color. The flame scarf on his neck also began to dissipate rapidly from the end.]

[After a while, Zaimokuza retreated from the state of elemental awakening and returned to his original form, and Kuuga, who had returned to his almighty form, shook his body and knelt forward on one knee weakly.]

【Snapped. 】

[The hand covered with white armor opens to support the ground, and then turns back into a scarred human hand in a flash of light.]

【“Zaimokuza!?”】

[Kousaka Kyosuke, who was walking towards Zaimokuza, was shocked by this sudden change and quickly ran to him to help him up.]

[“You——”]

[A face covered with burn marks came into Kousaka Kyosuke's sight, leaving him speechless for a moment.]

[“Hahaha… It seems that this is my first time using this form, and I still can’t control it very well. I feel like I’m a little dehydrated—”]

[Zaimokuza, whose lips were shrunken by the high temperature, smiled dryly, and twitched a few times because of the burns on his cheeks pulled by the pulling of his facial muscles.]

[His lower lip also had a bloody scar, but not a single drop of blood came out of the wound because all the moisture had evaporated just now.]

[“Hiss… But, since No. 22 has been defeated, I should go to my appointment. I can’t keep him waiting too long.”]

[“Hey! Where do you want to go in this state? If you count the previous experiment, you have already activated the element awakening mode three times today, right? Do you still have the energy to move now?”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke frowned and propped up Zaimokuza with his left shoulder, supporting him as he walked towards Triangle Chaser 2000, looking at the pair of legs that kept shaking as he walked, and persuaded him.]

[“You should come with me to the hospital and rest for a day before we talk about this. We can go anytime for this kind of thing, but you——”]

【"No……"】

[Zaimokuza raised his head and looked at the Triangle Chaser 2000 in front of him with a sharp gaze, his eyes full of persistence and determination.]

[“It is precisely because promises cannot be easily violated that they are worth waiting for.”]

[He broke free from Kousaka Kyosuke's support, grabbed the handle of the motorcycle to steady himself, turned his head and smiled at Kousaka Kyosuke, and at the end he once again gave his signature thumbs up.]

[“And the person who taught me this truth… is waiting for me now. I don’t want to disappoint her.”]

[“——Don’t worry, Mr. Kosaka, I am Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru II!”]

[“I will never fall down on the road I’m walking on before I fulfill my promise!”]

【"you……"】

【Looking at Zaimokuza's extremely familiar thumbs-up and smile, Kousaka Kyosuke sighed helplessly while covering his right shoulder, but a barely perceptible arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.】

[“Do whatever you want to do. Anyway, we’ll meet at the usual place tonight. I’ll call an ambulance to pick me up here… Then, tell me whether you’ve fulfilled the agreement.”]

[“Thank you, Mr. Kosaka…see you tonight.”]

【Zaimokuza looked back at Kousaka Kyosuke for the last time, then he put on his helmet while forcing himself to endure the pain on his face, and started the motorcycle to move towards his goal.】

[“Although it’s a bit stubborn, it’s not a bad thing.”]

[His dark pupils reflected the silhouette of the motorcycle disappearing in the distant sunset. Kousaka Kyosuke exhaled, then struggled to use his left hand to take out his phone from his right trouser pocket and unlock the screen.]

[“Well, we should also notify Makishima and ask him to come and clean up the mess. It hurts!… Hmm?”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke, who unlocked the screen, suddenly saw a notification pinned right above the phone screen, and his brows furrowed. ]

[Latest notification: You have a credit card deduction information~]

[“Bank card? Oh, by the way, Zaimokuza did borrow my card to buy something before.”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke didn't think much about it and tapped the screen with his left thumb to open the interface.]

【“…………”】

[Looking at the detailed amount marked on the deduction information displayed after the interface was unlocked, Kousaka Kyousuke fell into an extremely long silence. ]

[He held the phone in front of him to block his face, so we still don’t know how wonderful Kousaka Kyosuke’s expression was that day.]

【But one thing is certain. 】

[Ten seconds later, an angry roar echoed throughout the wilderness, as mournful as a weeping vulture against the backdrop of total silence.]

【“Material-wooden-seat!!!”】

……

[“…Mr. Kosaka, please forgive me.”]

[Zaimokuza, who was driving the motorcycle, could vaguely hear the roar of a ferocious demon from far behind him, and shuddered, muttering in a low voice.]

[He stared at the road ahead with his eyes, which had some blue eye bags, behind the glass of his helmet. A faint afterimage had begun to appear in the scene, but he still didn't dare to stop driving.]

[“Catch up, we must catch up…!”]

……

【Chiba Prefecture, Sobu Prefectural High School. 】

【05:35 p.m】

[During this time of year in March in Japan, the sun has already sunk more than halfway into the horizon, and the remaining afterglow casts a layer of warm yellow gauze over the campus of Sobu High School.]

[“In the end, Zaimokuza that brat still didn’t show up.”]
