The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

"...A tenfold increase in ice magic?"

Upon seeing the skill description, Yukino Yukinoshita's pupils contracted slightly.

exaggerate.

An incredibly overpowered support skill.

It's okay if you don't know ice magic; you can learn it anytime in the Paradise Shop. However, support skills that provide a tenfold boost are extremely rare.

Seino Makoto, however, remained remarkably calm:

"To be precise, the amplification multiplier is two to ten times, not a fixed ten times. It is not yet clear whether the amplification multiplier is completely random or related to some kind of hidden mechanism... We will go back and verify it slowly after we clear the dungeon."

Eriri put her hands on her hips and looked over with sparkling eyes:

"Wait, the description says there's a one-hour built-in cooldown for the same target, but during that time, supporting other characters shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Kiyono Makoto nodded: "Theoretically speaking, there is no problem."

"We can verify that later." Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses and said softly, "We need to move to a different location."

"Where to go?"

Everyone looked over.

One is an upperclassman, and the other is Futaba. These two girls have extremely high IQs and are the brains of the team. Kiyono Makoto is currently only responsible for making decisions and providing the strongest combat support.

“Back to the lake.”

Rio Futaba, with her left arm crossed over her chest, despite wearing a white lab coat, still had an exaggeratedly pronounced curve in her chest, making the idiom "about to leap out" a tangible reality:

"During the Chu-Han Contention, Han Xin fought a desperate battle with his back to the river, thus escaping with his life."

“We don’t need to fight to the death, but the lakeside location is excellent.”

"With the lake behind us, we don't have to worry about enemies attacking from behind; we only need to deal with enemies coming from the front."

"In addition, the water magic of the clear field can also be enhanced."

"..."

After listening to Futaba's rational analysis, the girls naturally all voted in agreement.

Kiyono Makoto turned around and walked up to several Demon Slayer Corps members, briefly explained the upcoming plan, and invited them to join him.

The side quest clearly states that you will receive 500 points for each surviving Demon Slayer Corps member. If all six Demon Slayer Corps members survive, you will receive an additional 3,000 points at the end of the quest. You absolutely cannot miss it.

As expected.

Faced with Kiyono Makoto's invitation, all of them accepted; no one would be foolish enough to refuse.

"Let's go back to the lake."

Kiyono Makoto turned around, reached out and grabbed the white-haired demon mother, lifting her up and tossing her over his shoulder.

The white-haired demon's mother was the bait, a captive. Although she had been stripped of her most core abilities, she was still very dangerous, and only he could take the fall.

"Human, where are you taking me?"

The white-haired demon mother's voice was tense, her expression fierce but her heart weak as she glared at him. Sniffing the faint scent of blood on Kiyono Makoto, her mouth watered uncontrollably.

"Put me down right now, or you'll all die!"

"Shut up." Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow and looked over. "You don't want Rui to see the photo we just took together, do you?"

"..."

Spider Demon Mother shuddered and immediately fell silent.

Over the years since becoming a demon, she has frequently suffered various cruel tortures and has developed a deep-seated fear of Lower Moon Five.

With the problem resolved, Kiyono Makoto led the way, followed by the girls, with several Demon Slayer Corps members supporting each other at the rear. The group quickly left the forest clearing.

Twenty minutes later.

The group returned to the lake in the mountains.

Under the cool moonlight, the lake shimmered and sparkled, a breathtaking sight.

boom.

Makoto Kiyono threw the white-haired demon mother on the ground, clapped his hands, and then turned to look at Eriri:

"Tie it up with rope, tie it several times."

"clear."

Eriri nodded upon hearing this, quickly took out a pencil, and began to draw in her sketchbook.

Ma Liang's magic paintbrush was incredibly useful; the ropes quickly solidified from nothingness, becoming as if they were alive, and rapidly wrapped around the white-haired demon mother, binding her tightly in no time.

The posture was just a bit off.

Although the white-haired demon mother's face was somewhat childlike, her body was already exceptionally mature. Before, when she was wearing a yukata, there was nothing particularly special about her, but now, after being bound in a manner that could be described as rope art, her alluring curves were immediately on full display.

"You idiot, Seino, don't look around."

Eriri puffed out her pink cheeks and quickly turned around and scolded him.

Kiyono Makoto regretfully withdrew his gaze:

"Be careful and stay alert. Players from the opposing faction and those evil spirits could appear at any time."

"……I see."

Eriri nodded earnestly.

Jealousy is one thing, but you absolutely mustn't cause trouble when it matters most.

Kiyono Makoto withdrew his gaze, then looked at Yukinoshita and issued the mission:

"Yukinoshita-kun, I'm leaving the transaction to you."

These Demon Slayer Corps members are not particularly strong in combat, but their Nichirin Blades are very important, so they naturally want to be traded for them.

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently:

"I've already talked to them about the deal. They hesitated, but didn't explicitly refuse. Give me a little more time."

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses and spoke first:

“I’ve scouted the terrain before and found a small canyon that’s perfect for an ambush. Next, I’ll move in with Kato and Nishimiya.”

"Humans have an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm. Once they discover a trap, they will naturally choose to avoid it. This can be used to lure the other party into the real ambush point."

Kiyono Makoto's tone was calm:

"Be careful, and contact me anytime if anything happens."

"clear."

"..."

The girls didn't rest for a moment, quickly taking on their respective tasks and getting busy.

Kiyono Makoto then turned to look at the black-haired senior next to him and extended his right hand:

"Senior, shall we begin?"

The Ice and Snow Waltz can amplify ice magic tenfold. Currently, Senior's Frost Spear is the skill with the highest single-target damage.

Therefore, on their way back to the lake, Makoto Kiyono and the girls had a brief discussion and decided to let the senior test the waters first.

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded slightly and gracefully extended her hand:

"Let's go into the woods... there are too many people by the lake."

Kiyono Makoto clicked his tongue softly:

"My senior can actually be shy?"

"Heh~"

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked over with a half-smile:

"Junior, are you really not bothered by people watching us dance?"

"..."

Seiichi Kiyono grasped his senior's warm, soft hand and spoke frankly:

"Of course I care."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's pink lips curved slightly upward, forming a pleasant arc, clearly satisfied with Kiyono Makoto's answer:

"I thought my junior would be saying one thing and meaning another."

"We don't even know if we'll see the sun tomorrow, so who would be hypocritical?"

"You idiot junior, don't jinx it."

"..."

The two held hands and headed towards the nearby forest.

As they reached the edge of the forest, Kasumigaoka Utaha turned around and secretly winked at Eriri.

"……hateful!"

Eriri saw this and clenched her fists tightly.

That awful fat woman in black stockings!

I went first!

I was right first!

During their journey, Makoto Kiyono actually asked Eriri if she wanted to dance the Frost Waltz first, but there were too many people at the time, and Eriri subconsciously refused with a haughty attitude. Now she regrets it, but it's too late.

at the same time.

The summit of Mount Natagumo.

The seven players who chose the Demon Path faction gathered together, and each of them underwent varying degrees of mutation.

Some people have a bloodshot red eye growing on their forehead, some have two sharp canine teeth growing from the corner of their mouth, and some even have a mouth growing from their palm.

After choosing the Demon Path faction, these players did not instantly evolve into demons. Instead, they first found Lower Moon Five, were toyed with, and then all of them were transformed into demons.
