Crossover Anime/Manga - Not Everyday Life

Chapter 370 Rejecting Kaguya

"Huh? Mai-senpai, what do you mean?" Natsumi exclaimed excitedly.

"It depends on how you do~" Mai Sakurajima replied with a smile, not denying it.

"How should I behave?"

"Don't ask me, just decide for yourself."

"Oh, this..."

'

Natsuo felt that Mai Sakurajima was making empty promises to him, or rather, trying to entice Kaguya Shinomiya.

Kaguya Shinomiya was already blushing. She looked at Mai Sakurajima in disbelief, her mind racing with all sorts of thoughts.

It's obvious what she's thinking.

Whether she intends to take any action is unclear.

Some things do indeed need someone to take the lead or to provoke action.

"Alright, no rush, let's deal with the intruders first," Mai Sakurajima comforted her.

"Intruders are not as important as this."

"Can't you be a little more sensible?" Mai Sakurajima looked at him with amusement.

"Okay, if you act cool later, then I'll consider it a good performance."

"real?"

"I'm not lying to you."

"Alright! Watch my performance." Xia Sheng walked deeper into the building with high spirits.

Seeing his childlike appearance, Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but chuckle, shaking her head and laughing.

"Mai-senpai..." Kaguya Shinomiya murmured.

"Um?"

"Are you sure you want to?"

"Yes, that's about right," Mai Sakurajima replied readily.

"Is it almost time...?" Kaguya Shinomiya's thoughts drifted.

She and Xia Sheng were far apart, not in terms of their relationship, but in terms of their distance.

The closest they've ever gotten to each other is a hug.

Is it because she lacks appeal? Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly wondered.

After all, apart from her pretty face, she has no advantage in terms of figure.

As for looks, everyone's pretty good.

Needless to say, Xia Sheng's current abilities make him completely indifferent to worldly status and position.

Moreover, her freedom was secured by Xia Sheng.

So you could say she has absolutely no advantage.

Perhaps I should ask Ai for help; she promised to help her.

She also wanted to get closer to Xia Sheng.

"Speaking of which, I regretted it that day," Mai Sakurajima suddenly said.

"Regret? That day?"

"The day I fought the black dragon."

"ah..

""

"We can only watch from the outside, there's nothing we can do. If we had awakened sooner, we could have helped."

"Yes..." Kaguya Shinomiya nodded in agreement.

She actually regretted it very much; her powerlessness and incompetence that day made her feel extremely guilty.

And it wasn't just her; everyone outside actually had similar thoughts.

The feeling of powerlessness as a bystander is very distressing.

"And standing side by side with Natsumi must feel great."

As Mai Sakurajima watched Natsuo's retreating figure, imagining the scene, a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

"Feel the same."

Xia Sheng silently stopped in the middle, gazing into the distance. He could hear the conversation between the two people behind him very clearly.

Perhaps Mai Sakurajima knew he could hear her, but she still spoke her mind directly.

She was the one who made the initial decision.

Xia Sheng would not interfere with any of her decisions, whether it was out of regret, a sense of responsibility, or affection for him.

It doesn't matter.

It wasn't because he only thought about possessing her; if that were the case, he would have had plenty of opportunities.

He was simply certain that their relationship had reached that point.

So either way is fine.

What he needs to do now is to perform well and make Mai Sakurajima fall in love with him.

Deep within, space is distorted.

Soon, a burly figure in black slowly emerged.

Xia Sheng stood still, quietly watching the orc, waiting for it to completely step into this space.

Behind it, space distorted and disappeared, returning to calm.

"Roar..." The orc noticed Xia Sheng, growled, and slowly walked towards him.

"Mai-senpai, watch carefully~" Natsumi reminded him without turning her head.

"What are you looking at?" Mai Sakurajima asked with a smile.

"Watch my performance, I'm going to be really cool."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

As soon as Xia Sheng finished speaking, his eyes sharpened, as if he had locked onto the orc.

An invisible aura emanated from him, pressing down on the air and oppressing the space around him.

The orc stopped in his tracks and stood still.

It's not that it's completely still; it's like a gear that's stuck, unable to move, with the joints tense.

Especially its face, which showed a look of terror, and the fear in its eyes could not be hidden.

It felt intimidated, a kind of bloodline suppression that made it hard to breathe, and an irresistible emotion arose within it.

Dragon's Might!

Xia Sheng was using the intimidation and pressure of the dragon's might to immobilize it, making it unable to move an inch with just a simple threat.

Dragons, the pinnacle of life, can intimidate other creatures with their very existence, inspiring fear in all living beings.

The dragon's might is not an intangible feeling, but a tangible and substantial force.

The orc that Xia Sheng once had to rack his brains to deal with is now so intimidating that Xia Sheng can't resist it just by the intimidation it exudes.

This is the power of the dragon, this is his power now.

Xia Sheng took a step and slowly walked towards the orc. He raised his right hand, and scales appeared on it, gradually covering his arm.

A massive dragon claw appeared, thick and powerful, hard in texture, with sharp claws that reflected an obsidian-like luster, seemingly indestructible.

Xia Sheng gained the ability to transform into a dragon from the black dragon.

Not only does he have scales covering his entire body, giving him dragon-like features, like he's wearing armor and resembling a dragon-man, but he can also partially transform into a dragon.

Just like now, only the dragon claws cover the entire hand, like wearing protective gear.

It doesn't feel out of place at all; on the contrary, it looks majestic and imposing.

"This must be the power that Natsumi obtained from the black dragon." Mai Sakurajima stared at Natsumi's dragon claw.

"Mm." Kaguya Shinomiya nodded gently, her eyes shining.

"Natsuo has become even stronger. If we don't catch up, we'll really fall behind, and even Yukino and the others..."

","Um..

'

Xia Sheng approached the orc. His expression was calm. His dragon claw touched its skin and easily pierced it.

The armor and skin that had previously rendered him helpless were now utterly vulnerable, as soft as tofu.

In the eyes of the orcs, fear was even greater.

Xia Sheng had no intention of showing off in front of it, nor did he intend to torture it. He aimed his dragon claw at its heart and quickly probed in.

Pfft—!

The dragon claw easily pierced its chest.

Black blood dripped down the scales of the dragon's claws.

The orc died.

Xia Sheng withdrew his dragon claw, and the orc lost his strength and fell backward, crashing to the ground, motionless and lifeless.

Without looking at the orc, Xia Sheng looked at his dragon claw, which was covered in black liquid.

Slimes and goblins, who possess elemental magic, allow him to directly control the elements, but what about orcs?

What power can he gain from it?

Xia Sheng was a little curious and a little expectant. He withdrew the dragon claw, put his hand, still stained with black blood, to his mouth, and licked it.

He swallowed the black blood as soon as it entered his mouth, then closed his eyes and began to savor it.

As the blood entered his stomach, the Devouring Technique was activated, rapidly absorbing and refining it.

Something unusual happened inside my body again.

This time, he wasn't enveloped by elements; Xia Sheng only felt something penetrating his body and affecting his external body.

It's his skin.

His skin was changing, not overtly.

Xia Sheng opened his eyes and looked down at the skin on his arm. On the surface, there was nothing wrong, but he knew that his skin was already impervious to blades and bullets.

Skin is still skin, just as soft and silky, but it can withstand attacks from swords and firearms.

Of course, it's ordinary firearms, the kind with cannons. Skin alone can't withstand that.

Xia Sheng was overjoyed; his body had become stronger, and the orc had not disappointed him.

The key is that it can remain unchanged, which is what he is most satisfied with. If it were as hard as iron, how could he get intimate with them?

"Natsuo, what's going on?" Sakurajima Mai and Shinomiya Kaguya walked towards him.

"Great news!"

As soon as Mai Sakurajima approached, Natsuo hugged her tightly.

"What's good... um!"

Before Mai Sakurajima could finish her question, she was kissed by a happy Natsumi.

Kaguya Shinomiya, standing to the side, widened her eyes.
