Chapter 407 Iori Yagami, who hates violence
For obtaining blood from these specific targets, Cheng Tian doesn't necessarily have to do it himself. As long as the conditions are right, the Cat Kingdom, which originally needed to be activated in the Type-Moon world, can be implemented here ahead of time.

Nero the cat was simply in a situation where he felt indebted to Cheng Tian, ​​and he also had a certain appreciation for Cheng Tian, ​​so he directly accepted the extra small task from Cheng Tian.

This involves attacking Iori Yagami, who is roaming near the stadium, and obtaining his blood.

In fact, Iori Yagami was originally an officially invited seeded player, but at the end of the last King of Fighters '96, Iori Yagami, whose Orochi blood went berserk, directly killed two of his teammates, namely Mature and Vice, two members of the Orochi Eight Generals. As a result, he was judged to be a dangerous person and was directly removed from the seeded team invitation.

However, there's something quite counterintuitive about this character. While often perceived as a violent figure in games, he also comes across as a core boss and playable character in *The King of Fighters '97*, nicknamed "Crazy Iori" by players for his "Orochi Blood Berserk Form," leading most players to perceive him as a madman who loves fighting. But...

Iori Yagami has an extreme aversion to violence.

He has healthy parents, a younger sister, and lives alone. He makes music and feeds stray cats. If it weren't for the influence of the Yata bloodline and Orochi blood within him, he would probably have maintained the image of an artistic youth until the end.

It's a pity that God did not fulfill his wish.

The physiological instincts transmitted through his bloodline made him utterly unable to resist the siphoning effect created by the clustering of Orochi blood holders.

On the other hand, Iori Yagami still cannot give up his obsession with fighting Kyo Kusanagi.

However, he was not very satisfied with the preliminary rounds organized by the organizers, and even if he were to fight, it had to be Kyo Kusanagi in his prime, otherwise it would be meaningless.

At the same time, Iori Yagami is also someone who hates trouble, so he chose to snatch the invitation three hours after the countdown ended, planning to wait until the official match to have Kyo Kusanagi lose to him in front of everyone... As for the time before that, he just planned to listen to music, practice bass, and kill some time.

However, not long ago, he saw that among the sixteen seeded teams, the original American team had its invitation snatched away by an audition team, and that team was none other than "Hell Band", with whom he had had many ideological conflicts in the field of music creation!
Watching them through the television screen, Iori Yagami instinctively felt a sense of unease, but he dismissed it as mere peer rivalry and didn't think about it any deeper. However, their appearance did pique Iori's curiosity, so he left the underground tavern where he practiced his instruments, wanting to see these fellow musicians in person.

Then he was caught red-handed by Nero's cat, which had released a large number of "poison-winged wasps" to search the entire area.

As for Nekohime, who chose to attack Kyo Kusanagi head-on, she was purely attracted by Cheng Tian's highly recommended description of the "Three Sacred Treasures," especially the sentence "No one has ever seen the true appearance of the Three Sacred Treasures," which accurately hit Nekohime's sore spot, so she went.

Of course, since the two sides have different goals, Cat Princess obviously won't collect blood for Cheng Tian, ​​so this task falls to Eileen.

The invitation has now been returned to Cheng Tian, ​​meaning the pressure of having it taken away is now entirely on Cheng Tian, ​​and the others can move freely without worry.

Cheng Tian, ​​who should have been the weakest link in the fighting team, successfully intimidated many people after demonstrating his Stand World and ability to summon vehicles to smash people. In addition, the existence of this baffling laboratory made many players wary and hesitant to make a move.

This actually gave Cheng Tian a long period of free time, to the point that his live stream channel started temporarily airing cartoons...

The three channels with the highest official viewership ratings are currently—

The "Women's Fighter Team Channel" simultaneously features the Hungry Wolf Team, the Dragon Tiger Team, and the Women Fighters Team, with fragments of clothing from the audition contestants and female fighters flying everywhere, creating an extremely chaotic scene.

Fans erupted in anger and attacked the audition team. The audition team, not to be outdone, chose to retaliate. The world's number one idol is trying to appease the fans on the "Superpower Warriors Channel" related to the incident.

And then there's the "Neon Team Channel," which features the defending champions from the previous season and includes a funny cat that previously attracted a lot of attention. This has led to more and more teams looking for traffic choosing to go to the popular channels.

This led to a sudden clash between purple flames and black mud in the alley, which no one noticed for a moment.

Iori Yagami's strength is indeed among the top of the King of Fighters fighters of this era, but his combat experience comes more from fighting against opponents. When facing Nero Cat, whose fighting style is almost the same as that of a Summoner, he inevitably falls into a passive position.

"Sigh~~~"

The pain from the back of his neck made Yagami gasp almost instinctively, and he instinctively reached back to pull out the purple flame in his palm—

Hundred Style Oni-Yaki!
Purple flames traced a spiraling arc around it, instantly incinerating several giant venomous winged creatures, each as large as an adult's forearm.

But this was not the Poison Winged Species that had already taken advantage of the chaos to suck a large mouthful of Yagami's blood. This giant mosquito, having completed its blood intake and preservation, had a swollen abdomen that also exhibited an eerie purplish-red color.

Even though the mission was already completed, Nero Cat exclaimed "Oh?" with a look of surprise on his face.

Because he could sense that the blood stored in the abdomen of the blood-sucking mosquito contained a kind of violent power that he could not easily use at present, and it was also continuously emitting high heat, causing continuous burning damage to the mosquito.

...but that doesn't stump it.

With a thought, more black mud flowed from Nero's feet and quickly merged with the blood-sucking mosquito by climbing walls and jumping in place.

As if the process of kneading clay had been shortened by tens or hundreds of times, the originally huge blood-sucking mosquito was suddenly replaced by a black pterosaur unit that retained its mouthparts and blood-storing abdominal cavity.

Chimera forms that combine the characteristics of different organisms are usually referred to by Nero as "fantasy species".

The vampire pterosaur spread its wings and soared into the sky, heading straight for Hammond's research institute!

This overly purposeful blood collection finally triggered Iori Yagami's ferocity and unpleasant memories.

"Meow meow?"

Seeing the bright, magatama-shaped light shining on the other's chest, Nero Cat suddenly recalled the Three Sacred Treasures that Cheng Tian had explained to them.

This guy seems to be a rare user of time-based skills?

As a purple flame with unusual energy fluctuations erupted in the alley, Hell Band, Leona of the Ikari Warriors, Yamazaki Ryuji hiding somewhere in the area, Kyo Kusanagi in battle, Chizuru Kagura also in battle, Cheng, who had just left the vicinity of the laboratory, a young woman dressed as a maid standing quietly behind someone, and a group of beings with special perception abilities, all almost simultaneously looked in the direction of the purple flame eruption.
