Crossover anime/manga, can you be my immortal companion for life?

And Kerry...

At this moment, Kerry had already broken into the ranks of soldiers, his burning body swinging his weapon like a madman.

However, the enemy came prepared this time, setting up a large number of specially made shields, and the open space behind them was quickly surrounded by soldiers.

Xiangzi stuck the small sickle in place and raised the sword.

Kerry on the ground did not react to the sound.

Because his hearing system had been burned out, and even the moisture in his eyeballs had long since evaporated, he could only see the outside world for a fleeting moment when his hearing was restored occasionally.

He needs to fight based on that instantaneous feeling.

Because even the sense of touch ceases to exist when every inch of the skin is being burned.

No need to close your eyes, the world remains dark; no need to cover your ears, the world remains quiet; no need to touch, the world is empty.

All senses except pain are taken away, and the last thing one can feel is... force.

The gravity still holding you in place, and... the feedback of the axe piercing flesh, the feedback of the opponent staggering after you kick their shield.

Actually, he didn't call Xiangzi out not out of pity, but because he wanted Xiangzi to act as his eyes and ears, to report back to him through internal chat.

However, Kerry just glanced around and saw that everyone was holding shields. To avoid being surrounded, he could only keep slashing and kicking at his surroundings.

However, compared to Kerry, who was afraid of being surrounded, the soldiers around him were actually more afraid.

A fiery monster, impervious to bullets, opened its mouth wide, its bones exposed by the fire, and made a dry sound as it swung its flaming axe.

They didn't want to be captured; they just wanted to escape, to flee this completely illogical place, to escape this monster that could take their lives at any moment.

Kerry kept swinging his axe, feeling that there were fewer and fewer things he could hit. He seemed to see a notification, but then he felt his hand being pulled.

He instinctively thought it was something coming to grab him, and swung his axe down.

However, after he chopped down, the thing holding his hand did not let go.

Amidst the corpses of soldiers, Xiangzi, whose shoulder had been slashed by Kerry, showed pain on his face, but still resolutely placed the divine sword he had just used to kill several soldiers into Kerry's unarmed hand, ignoring the fact that his own gloves were also covered in flames, and tightly gripped Kerry's burned fingers one by one.

Only then did Kerry see a prompt in that dark world.

[Toyokawa Shoko: This is the weapon Rika asked me to give you]

[Toyokawa Shoko: The enemy is behind you. They're getting on a train and might try to escape. Are you alright? Should we go to the river and put out the fire first?]

As the cherry blossoms ignited, Toyokawa Shoko's shoulder recovered.

But Kerry, holding the sword in his hand, sensed something different.

This did not seem to be an ordinary weapon, but he did not hesitate for long. He gripped it tightly, then turned around, raised the sword and axe, and charged in that direction.

In Xiangzi's eyes, a magnificent scene unfolded: in the burning hands of the undead, the sword emitted a faint blue light, and then flames ignited from Kerry's body, spreading towards the sword until it covered every inch of the blade.

Kerry still couldn't see the direction clearly, but he simply swung his sword horizontally according to the location Xiangzi had indicated.

Sparks and heat rolled across the blade, and he was aiming directly at the cab of the truck. Normally, even the sharpest axe would stop halfway because it wouldn't be enough, but this time...

The scorching Oni-Kurei Ryuuka cleaved the truck's cab in two!

And left a dark sword mark on the car.

"Wow ah ah!"

The soldiers who witnessed this scene lost all will to fight, screamed in terror, and some even abandoned their vehicles and fled.

There were about a hundred soldiers on the vehicle behind them who had no idea what was going on and could only anxiously ask questions.

All they got in return were the terrified screams of their comrades in the front row.

Chapter 159: Before dawn at night.

Slash! Slash! Keep slashing!

Kerry kept swinging his sword, slashing continuously regardless of what was in front of him.

Kazuma refreshed the page again, and this was the first thing he saw.

Kerry raised his flaming sword and fought those things, not to mention shields and vehicles.

If there's a shield in front, he'll cut the shield and the man in two with a single strike; if there's a chariot blocking the way, he'll cut the chariot down as well.

The soldiers who had initially rushed forward were now scattered like stray dogs, and anyone Kerry got close was met with a flurry of blows, their helmets rolling in disarray.

Oh my god! I'm so scared!

Kazuma quickly rolled away to dodge, then observed the situation.

here it is……

Looking back, there was a large truck that had been hacked to pieces, and the one burning... was Kerry!

"Although this isn't the first time we've met, you're really something else."

Kazuma shook his head, then turned around and saw Shoko throwing explosives at the person behind him.

The situation became clear: he quickly searched around and found Kirito's body. Once Kirito got up, they immediately began fighting.

Unfortunately, his axe was damaged by Kerry, so he could only kill a soldier and take the gun from him.

The four of them were currently in a narrow section of road on the side.

Because the road was blocked, vehicles were going up the mountain in twos, and the convoy was stuck at the entrance. The soldiers in front got out of the vehicles and ran back, while those behind had no idea what was happening.

The on-site commander was already dead, and several squad leaders were trying to reach their superiors, but the superiors were dumbfounded after hearing their description.

They were simply told to continue the arrest operation, and if things got really bad, to let them go and carry out the plan to kill all the villagers to cut off the virus.

The squad leaders were stunned. No, the issue now is not whether we let them go or not, the issue now is that we have to leave!

Some of the more astute soldiers in the rear had already begun to flee.

Those caught by Kerry earlier were killed with a single sword strike. There were hardly any who dared to resist, let alone be captured. The morale of the previous wave had completely collapsed.

The psychological pressure of capturing a cyborg that can quickly regenerate, resembling one from a zombie movie, is completely different from dealing with a guy who's covered in flames and wields a magical weapon, looking like a ghost knight.

They joined the Self-Defense Forces hoping to endure a few years of hardship and have a good place to go after their discharge, not to die in flames.

[Toyokawa Shoko: The car behind them started to back up, so I started running and then slashed when I was about seven or eight steps away.]

"Let's kill them quickly! Once we've killed them all, we can go put out the flames!"

Xiangzi was a little anxious and even let slip Kerry's real name.

But it's alright. The other two understood her perfectly. They had been burned by that thing not long ago and deeply understood that kind of extreme pain.

Following Xiangzi's instructions, Keli took a step forward, and when he reached the right position, he leaped up, creating a sea of ​​fire in the air.

The group made their way down the mountain through the "maze" formed by the gaps between cars.

Soon after, several vehicles arrived.

Leading the pack was none other than the Sonozaki family's custom-made bulletproof vintage car.

This vehicle once carried people to safety amidst a hail of bullets on a certain timeline.

As for why they were here, it was because the retreating soldiers, upon discovering the dire state of the command post, immediately scattered and scattered, with most running into the mountains, and some even raising their hands to surrender to the villagers.

The villagers, aware of the risks, started several vehicles and prepared to rush down the mountain, hoping that everything would be alright once they reached the city and could make contact with the outside world.

When they arrived, they discovered just how fierce the battle had been.

On the higher slope, watching the flames flickering wildly among the crowd, Akane Sonozaki was deeply shocked.

Even my hands were trembling uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Kree below continued to slash, enduring the burning flames of his heart as if the spraying blood could extinguish the inextinguishable fire.

Ten minutes...? Kerry didn't know. He felt like he had completely lost his sense of time, just following the occasional recovery of his organs and the guidance of his teammates in his mind as he moved forward.

until……

[Toyokawa Shoko: Alright, come with me! Except for the few enemies who escaped, they're all dead.]

Upon seeing the message, Kerry stopped his advance and sword-wielding, swaying slightly as he twisted his head, searching for direction.

Outside, the surrounding area was a wasteland. The bodies of the Self-Defense Forces were lying around, dozens of troop carriers were burning, and the cliffs were covered in crimson. The blood that had gathered together looked like a flowing stream, running down the roadside ditch.

However, he soon felt a force pulling him in one direction, and he didn't know how long he walked.

[Toyokawa Shoko: Jump down.]

Kerry had no doubts and went straight ahead.

[Toyokawa Shoko: Kiritani said that even if white phosphorus is extinguished by water, it will reignite upon contact with air, so soak it a little longer.]

A few seconds later, Kerry felt the flames that had been constantly opposing his resurrection power finally leave him, and the only thing he could feel around him was a smooth layer of water.

Gradually, I could hear sounds again, and my eyes slowly regained their light.

On the shore, he saw Toyokawa Shoko with her back to him, holding a small sickle as if she were wary of her surroundings.

……

[Sato Kazuma: Is Kerry alright? Some villagers have joined us; they escaped on their own. We should be able to bring them down the mountain together.]

Kerry looked down at the sword he had been holding for a long time. The sword was now gleaming with golden light in the clear lake water, and it looked like a finely crafted weapon.

Kerry stood up, leaning on his sword.

He was completely naked at this point; his clothes had long since been burned away.

"It might be a little dirty, but wear it for now."

Next to it was a military uniform that Kazuma had somehow managed to take from some Self-Defense Force member.

"Tsk."

Somewhat annoyed, Kerry put on the dog skin and started typing in the chat room.

[Kerry: It's not over yet!]

[Sato Kazuma: Oh! You're back to life!]

[Kirigaya Kazuto: What do you mean?]
