Crossover anime, starting with Hachiman Hikigaya replacing Subaru Natsuki!

"Although my teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka, never said it outright, I know very well that she always thought I was a gentle person."

"Hachiman Hikigaya brought up his past for no apparent reason. 'I'm not really sure where I've been kind, but to receive such praise from Hiratsuka-sensei, my personality probably isn't as rotten as I think... But...'"

His increasingly strained tone made the curious Petitchius raise an eyebrow. "Oh?"

"But I think I'm definitely not as gentle as Hiratsuka-sensei thinks." Hachiman Hikigaya deftly raised his left hand, creating a gust of wind, his index finger pointing at Petritchus. "I can also be angry, I can harbor hatred, I can want to use violence, and there are people I absolutely must kill."

Petritchius looked at him strangely: "What exactly are you trying to say, beloved follower?"

"What I want to say is very simple... Go to hell, Petitchius."

"When the moment came, Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly let go. He said his last words with a light laugh, as the heavy weight in his heart suddenly burst like a balloon. This was not because he had let go of his hatred for Petritchius killing Emilia, but because he had already seen Wilhelm slashing down with his sword behind Petritchius."

"The Bishop of Sloth, who had once wiped out Emilia's entire camp and put immense psychological pressure on Hachiman Hikigaya, was caught off guard when Julius and Wilhelm's swords leaped from behind and pierced his body, cleaving him in two at the waist."

"His internal organs and blood were spilled all over the ground. Petitchius didn't even have time to realize he was dead before his life vanished without a trace."

"The whole process was so easy that it stunned Hachiman Hikigaya. Although it was a very effective plan, he thought that he would be lucky to be able to inflict a wound on Petritchus by sneak attacking him. Who would have thought that it would be a fatal blow?"

"Because Petruccius is too powerful, Hachiman Hikigaya even tricked Emilia into fighting against ordinary witch cultists, which has now prevented her from getting the honor and fame of killing the Archbishop of Sin."

"But it really... feels so unreal, it's a really weird feeling."

"Hmph, so-called Archbishops of the Great Sin, are they really just ants of this level?"

The arrogant Priscilla added insult to injury, mocking, "What a boring way to die."

"That's hard to say, Your Highness." Al, standing beside him, shared the same feeling as Hachiman Hikigaya. "The Archbishop of Sin... will it really be resolved so easily?"

Although the Invisible Hand is a powerful ability, it is still somewhat lacking compared to the Gluttony Archbishop who caused him to lose an arm.

If killing him were so easy, there wouldn't even be a need for Hachiman Hikigaya, a visible person; anyone who could attract Petitchius's attention could simply be used as bait.

The gruesome death and the mangled corpse displayed to the world would cause any normal person to feel terrified, uneasy, or filled with grief and indignation.

However, at the same time that Priscilla was mocking him in reality, Petitchius, who was being worshipped by the witch cultists, was laughing so hard his eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets.

He kept flipping through the Gospels, reading ten lines at a time, but the message in the Gospels remained unchanged.

"Ah, is this also your intention? Is this your guidance? Is this the future you hoped for? How, how... how diligent, how diligent! Undeterred by the favor, you used that affection to defeat my laziness, so diligent! You were truly too diligent!!"

"With the power of magic, Petitchius's body was burned to ashes."

"Explosions, smoke from flames, the clash of swords, and the encouraging roars of soldiers all played out simultaneously in Roswaal's territory. Hachiman Hikigaya had no time to think about whether it was real or not."

"Pettyus was cut in half at the waist; I saw it with my own eyes."

"The number of witch cultists is extremely large, and reinforcements are needed everywhere, otherwise the casualty rate of ordinary soldiers will probably be very high."

"Hachiman drew his sword, exchanged a glance with Julius, and was about to rush to the next battlefield."

"However, the next second, Julius opened his eyes in surprise and was stunned for a moment."

"In his line of sight, Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly started making strange, inexplicable movements, as if he were being dragged by thin air—what is this?!"

"An invisible hand?!"

"Julius awoke with a start, and immediately activated the micro-spirit he had contracted, sharing Hachiman Hikigaya's vision as agreed."

"This is..."

"The enormous black hand that came into view exuded a thick aura of terror. Julius, who had unconsciously underestimated the Bishop of Sloth because the sneak attack had gone too smoothly, finally understood why Hachiman Hikigaya had looked so serious when he mentioned Petruccius earlier."

"She's still alive? How did she escape...? No, those aren't the top priorities!"

"Clang—"

"Unleashing the most incredible speed ever recorded, so fast it was as if he had become one with the wind, and filled with remorse for his lack of vigilance, Julius unleashed a fighting power even greater than when he protected Lady Anastasia in an instant, all to save his dearest friend who was in imminent danger!"

"If you were to be injured, how could I, Julius, face Lady Emilia! How could I face this brilliant friendship!!!"

"Hachiman Hikigaya's body scraped against the ground. He looked at Julius who was catching up, gritted his teeth, and fiercely plunged his sword into the ground to stop his movement, completely ignoring the fact that the bones in his thigh were crushed by the invisible hand."

"Julius!"

85. Emilia, who is about to attack Jules.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji frowned. He noticed a detail: given Julius's character, he should have shouted something like "How can I live up to my promise to Rem who loves you?" at this moment, but... he didn't.

"Sloth! Indolence! Neglect! Not enough, not enough, far from enough—more! More, more! More! Diligence!! Love!!"

"He used the exact same tone as Petitchius, but it's certain that he was just an ordinary witch cultist before, yet he suddenly used the power of a high priestess."

"Hachiman Hikigaya ignored his blood-stained right leg. He leaned on his sword and barely managed to stand up. He didn't want to reduce Julius's fighting ability and become a burden."

Julius's face was ashen, filled with confusion. He relentlessly slashed at the invisible hands flying towards him with his sword. "What's going on? Powers should be unique. How can there be two Archbishops of Sin with the same power at the same time?"

"I don't know, but on the bright side, this situation is actually a relief. Petitchius has revealed his trump card, so I have nothing to worry about anymore."

"Hachiman Hikigaya's eyes were bright, and he really wanted to participate, but lacking sufficient fighting power, he ultimately stood obediently to the side, while enjoying Felix's eager healing as he pounced on him."

"The Archbishop of Sin is indeed the Archbishop of Sin. He has indeed ravaged the world for many years and is a terrifying existence that makes people tremble at the mere mention of his name. He is so bizarre."

Crusch gave a high evaluation: "The Invisible Hand is powerful enough. Now it seems that there is also a passive magic that is either a copy or a soul transfer. With the combination of the two, even if you can see that power, you will be killed by the resurrected Sloth due to your carelessness after killing Petitchius."

"After all... even the most cautious person would find it hard to imagine that the soul could remain unharmed even after the body has been reduced to ashes!"

Felix and Wilhelm also frowned deeply.

At that moment, Anastasia patted her chest in lingering fear: "This is outrageous. Is this what the Archbishop of Sin is like? Oh well, trading one of my dark histories for information about the Archbishop of Sin is barely a loss. It's good that this will be shown in the future."

Although they may not necessarily face the Witch Cult in the future, any normal person would feel reassured by receiving information from Petitchius. It's always better to be on guard against such a strange thing than to know nothing at all.

In Sakura-sou, Kanda Sorata scratched his head, and he and his roommates all gasped in shock.

"Half of my teammates are civil war gods who can make people's blood pressure so high, Puck is restricted by some kind of limitation and can't go all out, Roswaal and Beatrice deliberately avoid fighting, Ram and Rem are not strong enough, and your enemy—tsk!"

"If it were someone else... like me, even with the ability to return from death, even if I could break the situation to this point, I would have died two or three more times, or even more, than Hachiman."

To his words, Mitaka Jin shook his head and sighed, "I think most people would switch sides immediately after discovering how much danger surrounds Emilia."

“It’s one thing to not actually die, but the pain of death can’t be shielded, and there’s no benefit to protecting Emilia.”

"Although she is very beautiful... how can sexual desire compare to the will to survive?"

"But strangely enough, Hachiman Hikigaya's gentleness towards the world and others actually overcame his innate will to survive!"

“Yes…Is that so…” Kanda Sorata looked at Hikigaya Hachiman, who was facing difficulties head-on, with a shock. He swallowed and felt his head buzzing and a booming sound.

"Talent and ability are one thing, but attitude and spirit are also extremely important—this is the kind of person we should admire!"

Kanda Sorata, whose recent submissions have been repeatedly unsuccessful and who seems to harbor a grudge against others, contrasts sharply with Hikigaya Hachiman, who perseveres despite repeated failures…

All his shortcomings were exposed, and he felt ashamed of himself. In his shame, he began to quietly transform and make progress.

While the others marveled at the Archbishop of Sin's terror and eerie power, Emilia remained focused. She murmured softly, her eyes fixed on Hachiman: "Please, don't die anymore, please, don't die anymore, don't add to the pain... I believe in you, I trust you, so, so... please, just die, please, Hachiman!"

"With shared vision, Julius, who had crippled Petitchius by more than half, charged forward and successfully killed the Sloth Bishop whose soul was residing in the body of his subordinate."

"But before he could feel happy, the invisible hand appeared again, almost hitting him, and he barely dodged it thanks to Phyllis's warning."

Julius was deeply troubled. "Just how many times can he switch souls? Could these witch cultists be his backup bodies?"

"Lord Hachiman!" Wilhelm, who was nearby, was about to rush over to help, but Hachiman Hikigaya, having deduced the shocking truth, quickly stopped him: "Julius can protect me. You need to hurry up and deal with the ordinary witch cultists! Otherwise, the Archbishop of Sloth won't die!"

"I understand, I will follow your instructions!"

"There are no dazzling, wide-range destructive magic spells, no fancy and various magical buffs, and no eerie, terrifying, and unpredictable powerful abilities."

"As a mortal, Wilhelm, who climbed to the ranks of the strong through simple swordsmanship, simple physical training and Zhenzhi's peak skills, seems to be underestimated in many ways."

"but--"

"With a sword in hand, she single-handedly charged into the enemy ranks. Every swing of her weapon, which she wielded like an extension of her own arm, cleanly and effortlessly took several lives. She was a witch cultist who, when taken out of the crowd, was no less than any elite army."

"The carnage that Wilhelm unleashed, watching this over-fifty-year-old man slaughter like pigs and dogs, the one-sided crushing victory, truly made one understand the true value of the term 'Sword Demon'!"

"Perhaps they aren't as enigmatic, troublesome, or powerful as the Archbishops of Sin, Wilhelm, Julius, and the others are definitely reassuring guardians in terms of overall strength, truly deserving of their place at the pinnacle of the Kingdom of Lugnica!"

"Waaah—"

"Hastily tending to Hachiman Hikigaya's thigh, Felix's ears twitched. Suddenly, Hachiman Hikigaya grabbed him and pulled him over. Then, the place where the two had just been was bombarded by an unseen power, reduced to rubble, with billowing smoke and dust."

"They didn't have it as smoothly as Wilhelm."

"And that's why they received reinforcements."

86. Husband and wife die together

"Unable to see what Hachiman Hikigaya saw, Emilia didn't know exactly what happened or how the attack was carried out, but after hearing Felix's exclamation, she rushed over and immediately targeted the maverick witch cultist."

"Pettyus's behavior was so peculiar that it immediately revealed him as the culprit behind the attack. Emilia didn't even need to think; a barrage of ice spikes pierced through him mercilessly, tearing Pettyus, who was shouting 'Sloth! Negligence!' and laughing, into pieces."

"Are you alright, Hachiman?"

"Emilia's magnificent dress was already stained with a little enemy blood from the battle, but even so, she still gave people the impression of being so pure and beautiful. Her kind and gentle nature that heals people's hearts will not fade even if she kills an incurable madman."

"The girl rushed over anxiously and helped up Hachiman Hikigaya, who was covered in mud, without being disgusted by his current filth."

"Hachiman Hikigaya, fearing she might be ambushed by the Archbishop of Sloth, spoke rapidly: "I'm fine, Emilia. Be careful, Petritchus is still alive! His soul can possess other people's bodies—"

His warning came to an abrupt halt, and he froze completely.

Emilia was stunned for a moment. "Huh? What happened? You were hurt after all? Phyllis, please..."

Before the caring words had even finished, a strange twitch occurred, and Hachiman Hikigaya's mouth and eyes became crooked, his expression suddenly becoming extremely comical, with a peculiar laugh emanating from his throat from time to time.

"Lady Emilia, danger!"

Felix's eyes widened in horror. A hypothesis began to form in his mind, and his body moved faster than his mind could, pulling Emilia away from the extremely abnormal Hachiman Hikigaya.

Meanwhile, Julius, the returning knight, held his sword with a slight tremor in his hand. He looked at Hachiman Hikigaya and asked in a hoarse, hesitant voice, "Hachiman...-kun?"
