To become a king and a magician

The only one I absolutely cannot lose to is myself.

You can lose to anyone, but you can't lose to yourself.

Even though it is another individual that was created, the "Natsukawa Tiger" based on Natsukawa Tiger is actually the same as Natsukawa Tiger in terms of thought.

Tonight is a full moon. The ceiling has long since collapsed, and the bright full moon shines into [Natsukawa Tiger's] frozen, icy eyes.

moon......

moon......

By the way, the moon, speaking of which, that guy does have some power, doesn't he?

If only I could have that too...

Do you want that power that you never had, and that he can't use now?

The woman's voice came to mind.

Even I cannot fully reproduce that power, and your body cannot withstand it. If you accept it, you will only face the fate of your body breaking apart.

Even so, do you still want it?

of course!

As long as he can kill him and destroy another version of himself in the world, even if it means self-destruction, [Natsukawa Torato] will gladly accept it!

Okay, here you go. Goodbye.

(A woman like you... I hope I never see you again in my next life.)

The moonlight in his field of vision was tinged with a crimson hue, and its cold radiance cascaded down like a waterfall, covering the frozen [Xia Chuanhu] as if it had been forcibly stuffed inside. He could feel something new inside his body.

Power surged forth continuously.

Reason was gradually swallowed up by the violent force.

(It doesn't matter anymore. Since self-destruction is the inevitable outcome, then before I fall into the abyss, I'll create another version of myself...)

"Bang--------!"

To Natsukawa's astonishment, Natsukawa, who was trapped within the ice, suddenly raised his hands and shattered the entire ice layer with a single blow! The ensuing blizzard and the accompanying impact forced him to retreat a considerable distance!

The moment he stood still, a chilling feeling emanated from his very core.

On the vast frozen land, a figure slowly rose, bathed in moonlight. Long golden hair hung down behind him, his eyes gleamed with a blood-red ferocity, and his mouth emitted a low growl like that of a wild beast.

A holy and a wild nature—diametrically opposed qualities—enveloped him.

"Come------!"

He turned around and glared angrily at Xia Chuanhu.

"Let us—fall together into the abyss of the moon!!"

The beast of Zhu Yue roared and howled to the sky!

134. Hesitation makes it easy for others to cut in line.

An unexpected situation.

Natsukawa Tora had no idea that this would happen.

"The power of Arcueid..."

There's no mistake. Although something feels off, this feeling is definitely Arcueid's power.

(Love Song, this power...)

[This is probably another trick of mine. Unlike the me whose power was sealed by you, her power is unrestricted. Even the princess's power, if she wanted to, she could reproduce 60-70% of it.]

Is it 60-70%?

Even so, it's amazing enough.

[Be careful. When I said 60-70%, I wasn't referring to the nature of the power, but simply its strength. Even without the ability to materialize through imagination, the other you in this life is a monster in terms of physical strength alone, something the current you can't contend with.]

(Are you telling me to run away?)

Just stall for time. Your body can't withstand such immense force. It'll only last about three minutes. Don't tell me you can't hold out for that long.

Are we stalling until our other self perishes?

Xia Chuanhu chuckled: "Is this the first time you've spoken to me so calmly? I'm actually a little unaccustomed to you giving me such serious advice."

【You—what time is it for you to interrupt!】

"Bang----!"

With a deafening roar, like a shooting star, [Natsukawa Tiger] instantly arrived at Natsukawa Tiger's location, while Natsukawa Tiger, who was originally standing there, was unexpectedly smashed into the wall in the distance!

You can't see it at all!

Trembling, Natsukawa Tora crawled out of the wall, clutching his chest: "What kind of speed is that...?"

When you possessed that princess, you could be even faster, but you only ever used it to pull the moon, what a waste!

"So what if I prefer to materialize my imagination—but this is definitely a bit troublesome... Ah!"

The sound of something cutting through the air came again, and the figure of [Natsukawa Tiger] rapidly enlarged in his field of vision. Without thinking twice, Natsukawa Tiger jumped away from his spot. If Arcueid's seventy percent power were to hit him head-on, it would be a disaster!

[Natsukawa Tora]'s punch landed on the ruins.

"Bang—!"

A huge, bottomless hole was blasted into an entire area of ​​the ground!

If this happened to me, I would definitely die; even the sword sheath couldn't save me!

"Aige, it's rare that you're willing to talk to me calmly. I just want to ask if there are any countermeasures available now? Something that can actually be effective."

Beg me!

"That's alright, I'll figure it out myself."

【Hello!】

Sajō Aika really hates this vixen! What's wrong with giving in to her just once? Why is she so stubborn? She even tried to be nice to her once!

It's probably better to just let him die!

After realizing that Sajou Aika was unreliable, Natsukawa Tora also revealed a different side of himself.

“AAAAArrrrrrr——————————!!”

The roar of the mindless beast shook the atmosphere. Although they still looked very similar, no one would mistake them for the same person anymore, as their appearances were too different.

With its five fingers forming claws, [Natsukawa Tiger] arched its body, staring at Natsukawa Tiger as if hunting its prey.

Come on.

Natsukawa Torama, in a rather reckless move, waved his hand: "If you want to kill me, just watching won't do, you mad dog—"

"Sizzle—!"

Before he could finish speaking, blood gushed from Natsukawa Tiger's shoulder. Natsukawa Tiger, his fingertips stained with blood, had somehow appeared behind him. If he hadn't dodged the moment he felt the stinging pain in his shoulder, Natsukawa Tiger would have been torn in two!

Without the slightest hesitation, Xia Chuanhu clutched his shoulder and retreated at full speed. But even so, even though he was at full speed, the figure still chased after him like a shooting star. In the blink of an eye, the figure rushed ahead of him and used his knee to smash Xia Chuanhu's head, sending him crashing into the sky!

My head is about to split open!

Natsukawa Torama was completely unable to form any thoughts; the excruciating pain rendered him utterly incapable of reasoning. And just then, the presence of [Natsukawa Torama] flashed into his field of vision once more!

Clench your fists and pound them hard against your chest!

"Crack!"

His arms, which were crossed to protect his chest, were smashed along with his ribs, and the huge crater almost caused Xia Chuanhu's consciousness to completely collapse! The ground was smashed through several layers!

The situation has completely reversed. Natsukawa Tiger, who was previously dominating Natsukawa Tiger, is now the one being dominated!

Do you need my help, you vixen?

Saya Aika is singing again.

[It's been a long time since I've seen such a pitiful sight. Although I'd love to see it properly, but—]

Natsukawa Torato couldn't hear what Sajo Aika said next because he had been pulled out of the ground before that, and then immediately embedded back into the ground!

"You... you son of a bitch..."

Barely managing to lift his head from behind the wall, he grabbed Xia Chuanhu's wrist from behind and spun around to throw him over his shoulder. However, the mountain-like weight he felt in his hand made his heart skip a beat.

"Bang------!"

With another kick, Natsukawa Tiger once again felt the rubble.

"You'll really die if you keep going like this. Don't push yourself so hard. How about relying on me just this once?"

Do you depend on... depend on Aika Sajō?

My current consciousness can still recognize such information, but to be honest, after being hit in the head so many times, I'm no longer able to make judgments.

"If you die, I'll be in a lot of trouble too. I'll reluctantly help you this time—tsk, why do I need your permission? The Demon Eye Killer has long since shattered, and the seal has loosened a bit. I can easily squeeze out the power to help you myself."

What is this guy saying...? No, that doesn't matter anymore. What matters is... winning now.

Win against... that fake... the power of that moon is not...

(It's not something he can just use casually...)

"Om..."

On the back of Xia Chuanhu's hand, the Zhu Yue mark, which had been dim, began to glow slightly, as if a heart was beating. The light flickered faster and faster, and a thin layer of moonlight gradually emerged from it.

Wait, wait a minute, this is...

"—Shut up."

Xia Chuanhu suddenly rebuked him with utter indifference.

Shaking his battered body, he staggered to his feet, like a broken doll, and stood up unsteadily.

"call----!"

A strong wind swept in.
