Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

After all, this rule is very unfair to the first champion, while being too favorable to the last challenger.

However, for most contestants who are very confident in their abilities, this is a minor issue.

Regardless of whether you are the reigning champion or not, all you need to do is defeat the reigning champion and then take down the other challengers.

Apart from a few lyb, all the other players are eager to make a name for themselves in this arena!

After all, I can lose a game, but I can never back down!

It's obvious which is more prestigious: winning by suppressing the entire field or winning by stealing a chicken!

After all, this is just an event, not a formal competition, so winning or losing isn't that important.

Of course, the most important reason is that there are no rewards for rankings other than the champion.

So they can have fun without worry!

Because they weren't particularly confident in their abilities, even if they managed to sneak into the top five, they weren't confident they could win in the finals.

……

At noon, after having lunch, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others chatted about their experiences in the game, and then discussed the championship tournament.

Actually, they didn't particularly value the tournament, since only four of them were qualified to participate: Tsuchimikado Fuyu, Kuroneko, Kaguya, and Maple.

There's no need to worry about Maple's strength. In a one-on-one fight, she's really not afraid of anything. No one can completely defeat her when she's at full strength.

Tsuchimikado Tou and Kuroneko's strength goes without saying; they are very solid. As long as they don't encounter particularly difficult opponents, they are confident that they can enter the arena.

As for the finals... well, that depends on luck. After all, they do have opponents who can counter them, like Maple...

As for Kaguya... she felt that she was already very impressive to have made it into the arena.

After joking around for a while, everyone went back to playing the game together.

Soon, the knockout stage group stage was announced, and everyone knew their opponents.

As the countdown ended, the top 100 players on the kill leaderboard were all paired up and teleported to a gladiator arena.

At this moment, fifty large screens suddenly appeared in the game plaza, forming a circle so that players could freely watch the game.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu's opponent this time was a mage, but he wasn't surprised. After all, a third of the top 100 on the kill list were mages, so the probability of encountering a mage was still quite high.

Actually, if Yaprico hadn't been so unlucky and been surrounded and killed early on, with the powerful firepower she gained through crazy spending, it would have been easy for her to enter the championship.

However, while mages excel at racking up kills, not all mages are strong in one-on-one combat.

For example, Tsuchimikado Fuyu's opponent used lightning magic very skillfully, but he couldn't hit Tsuchimikado Fuyu at all.

Instead, Tsuchimikado Fuyu seized the opportunity and took him down in an instant with a combo.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu's second round of matches also ended exceptionally quickly.

The enemy was an assassin, and when he saw that his opponent was Tsuchimikado Fuyu, his face turned green with rage.

They weren't afraid of players like Maple who were impossible to break through, but they were afraid of players like Tsuchimikado Fuyu, who could deal damage to you but just couldn't kill you, which was the ultimate torture.

Especially when facing someone like Tsuchimikado Fuyu, who is both tanky and powerful.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu wasn't going to play any tricks on him. He was ready to chop me up however he wanted, but if he managed to kill me, then I'd be proud of him.

But if you give me an opportunity, it's a matter of a combo attack.

Chapter 1475 NWO Maze Championship (Part 2)

"Cut! The arena match is over!"

After a fierce battle, the finalists have finally been determined. Congratulations to Payne, Maple, Revelation, Miyin, and Kirito for advancing to the finals.

The final round will officially begin at 9:00 AM tomorrow, and the rules for the final round will be announced after 8:00 PM tonight.

……

"Cheers!" Inside the villa, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others raised their drinks and said happily.

"Maple is indeed our ace; she entered the finals without any pressure," Xiu Fan exclaimed.

“It’s such a pity about Black Cat,” Yaprico said. “She was put in the same group as Maple. If she had been in one of the other groups, she would have had a chance to advance.”

"It's not that easy. The other groups aren't easy to deal with either." Black Cat was quite philosophical about it. Knowing the weaknesses of her profession, she calmly said, "Apart from Pain, neither Kirito nor Miki are easy to deal with."

Although Payne is a top-tier player in the game, ranking among the best in terms of level, equipment, attributes, and skills, he also possesses special "Holy Sword" skills.

But in essence, he is a warrior, and Black Cat is more of a warrior assassin. Not only is he fast, but most of his attacks have penetrating properties. In addition, he has his pet's teleportation clone, which makes him a natural counter to Pain.

However, it's a different story when facing the others. Needless to say, Tsuchimikado Toudou has virtually no defense, but Kuroko also lacks a skill that can kill with a single blow, so there's nothing they can do against Tsuchimikado Toudou.

As for Miyin and Kirito, it's a 50/50 match. Neither of them holds back, and both are top-tier players in terms of skill, so it's hard to say who will win.

Especially Miyin, don't let her fragile appearance fool you, she's a very strong character in terms of both her skill set and her gameplay.

Of course, the main reason is that the opponent's firepower is too strong. Black Cat's pet cannot split into two, and Black Cat is also not easy to get close to. After all, she herself is also a fragile character and dares not take Mi Yin's skills head-on.

Regardless, the Array Cat Guild really stole the show in this event, as they occupied two of the top five spots. Although Tsuchimikado Fuyu had an element of luck, they were still in the top five after all!

Not to mention, everyone is quite confident that Maple will win the championship.

So, everyone happily held a victory celebration ahead of schedule.

As for the possibility of excessive joy turning into sorrow... they didn't care. After all, their current results were already excellent; they had even surpassed the top two guilds, "Emperor's Kingdom" and "Holy Sword Gathering."

Maple and Tsuchimikado Fuyuya didn't have much ambition. They were already satisfied with their results, and all that was left was to give it their all tomorrow.

After eating and drinking their fill, they stopped talking about games and instead went out of the room together for a walk towards the nearby shopping mall.

"Do we really have to watch this to play this game?" As they approached the movie theater, Xiu Fan suddenly shuddered, hiding behind Yapulico and asking somewhat fearfully.

“Of course! It was decided by drawing lots, so you have to accept the consequences of your bet,” Yaprico said seriously.

"But..." Xiu Fan was still a little nervous and hesitant. The problem was, when she drew the lot, she didn't write that she wanted to watch this kind of movie!

"It's okay, Xiu Fan, we're all here together, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"Could you please stop hugging your husband when you say that?" Xiu Fan said, speechless, looking at the woman trying to appear calm.

I wouldn't be scared if a man were holding me!

While she was complaining, her eyes involuntarily glanced at Tsuchimikado Fuyu, then quickly turned her head away.

Hmph! I don't want to hug him, you womanizer!

"Come here, Akane-chan, let me hug you!" Selty noticed Xiu Fan's unusual behavior, glanced strangely at Tsuchimikado Fuyu who was hugging two women, and immediately hugged Xiu Fan from behind, saying with a smile.

"No way! Nanako, don't treat me like a child!" Xiu Fan immediately bristled.

"Alright, stop fooling around. The movie is about to start. Let's go inside. Dong, Lucian, Asuna, come with me to get some popcorn and cola."

After buying popcorn and cola, Tsuchimikado and his friends went into the screening room.

Although they had just eaten dinner, watching a movie without popcorn and cola felt like something was missing.

Maybe it's just a habit!

When I entered the screening room, it was quite crowded, with about half of the seats occupied.

"Wow, so many people!" Seeing so many spectators, Xiu Fan breathed a sigh of relief. It's good to have so many people; it makes you less scared!

However, what Xiu Fan didn't know was that sometimes it's scarier when there are more people, especially when it's a thrilling scene and someone suddenly screams next to you. That's when it's really exhilarating!

Of course, no one who knew this reminded her, since watching horror movies required her to experience it for herself.

It's no fun if you "spoil" the plot!

Tsuchimikado and the others took their seats, all sitting in the same row, side by side.

To accommodate those who were afraid, everyone deliberately placed Xiu Fan in the very center, so as not to actually frighten her.

To her left are Ayako and her husband, since Ayako is quite afraid of them; to her right are Seti, Maple, and Shiramine Risa.

Well, actually, Shiramine Risa was the one most afraid of this thing. The reason she didn't back down before wasn't because she mustered up courage or resigned herself to her fate; she was simply too scared to speak.

She was trembling all over from the moment she stepped into the movie theater, and Maple and Asuna carried her in the whole time.

As for the others, they were seated randomly, and to be fair, no one fought over Tsuchimikado Fuyu; they simply drew their seat numbers randomly.

So, Tsuchimikado Fuyu sat between Shiramine Risa and Hinata Kaho.

Hinata Kaho had a victorious expression, while the others looked at Shiramine Risa, who was hiding in Maple's arms with her eyes closed, with resentment.

Is this considered a passive victory for you?

However, considering how scared she was, no one asked Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Hinata Kaho to switch places.

Although Tsuchimikado Fuyu might not be able to provide her with warmth, having a man by her side still had some effect.

In particular, this man is an Onmyoji who specializes in playing with ghosts and monsters.

Indeed, after arriving in Hawaii, Risa Shiramine and Maple also learned about Touhou Tsuchimikado's identity and some things about the Eastern Great World.

However, since he hadn't actually gone inside, he remained relatively calm. Aside from being shocked at first, he was then amazed by the Yin-Yang technique that Tsuchimikado Fuyu casually used. The two of them excitedly pestered him, making him perform several times before letting him go.
