As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

Time flew by, and nothing too big happened on the second day. After everyone had a good time during the day, they all gathered in a large arena in the evening.

"I apologize for keeping you all waiting. Now, the grand finale of the Fire Dragon Birth Festival—the final duel between the Creators—is about to begin!"

As mentioned yesterday, Black Rabbit appeared in the center of the arena as the referee, perhaps because he was really looking forward to this match. The audience seemed particularly excited.

"The host and referee will be Black Rabbit, the well-known referee of the Thousand Eyes."

Just as Black Rabbit was standing in the center of the field acting as referee, Izayoi Sakamaki suddenly asked White Demon:

"By the way, White Demon, what's with Black Rabbit's miniskirt? It looks like you can see it but not quite. Is it a wardrobe malfunction or something? That's such outdated taste."

"Hmph, a man like you doesn't understand true art."

"what?"

"What is art...?"

"It's an explosion!! Boom!!"

White Demon looked speechlessly at Abigail, who had suddenly interrupted her.

"So, what are you guys talking about? Let me hear it too."

"Then don't interrupt us."

Then White Yaksha continued:

"So-called art is one's own imagination about the unknown, and an endless desire to explore the mysterious. That's right, art that transcends everything is one's own existence in the universe."

Does it exist within the universe?

Izayoi Sakamaki sat up straight as if she had heard some profound truth.

"It's the same with what's under a girl's skirt; if you can see it, it's just vulgar underwear; if you can't, it's art."

"If you can't see it... then it's art?"

The recollection of Izayoi Sakamaki was like a sudden awakening.

"Let's witness together now the moment this miracle is born."

"White Demon..."

"Ah."

After saying that, the two of them pulled out a pair of binoculars from somewhere.

"White Yaksha, your understanding is profound, but it's not enough."

"Oh, do you have any brilliant ideas to share now?"

"Although it's both visible and invisible, it certainly has a lot of artistic appeal, but just standing there plainly doesn't really allow people to feel that art, so..."

"Ok?"

White Yaksha looked at Abigail with some curiosity as she stretched out her hand. Just then, a sudden gust of wind swept across the arena.

"Ah!! What's going on?!"

A sudden gust of wind blew up, and Black Rabbit quickly pulled her skirt down.

A cheer suddenly erupted from the crowd. Indeed, everyone had the heart of a gentleman.

Watching Black Rabbit's short miniskirt billow in the wind, appearing and disappearing, just as she was about to be seen, yet still unable to, this irresistible feeling caused White Yaksha to exclaim:

"Oh...I've learned something new!!"

Seeing the three men behaving like gentlemen, the others present looked helpless.

"That...that..."

What was Sandra trying to say? Mandraz, standing beside her, prompted her:

"Don't look, idiocy is contagious."

"Honestly, can you guys please stop messing things up? And don't cause any more trouble for Black Rabbit!"

Kudo Asuka then said to the three of them with a helpless expression.

Chapter 287 The Demon King Attacks

The game officially started.

The first match was between Kasukabe Yō and Oni-hime. According to the rules, each participant could have an assistant, but Kasukabe Yō did not seek such a partner.

"Then please welcome the contestants to the arena: the first contestant, the nameless Kasukabe Yō, and the oni-wielding Aisha Ignifate!"

Black Rabbit spun around in the center of the stage, then opened its arms to face the entrance of the venue, as if welcoming the contestants to the stage.

Kasukabe Yo walked from the passageway to the path leading to the stage, and at that very moment, a high-speed fireball swept past Kasukabe Yo.

"Wow......!"

The sudden fireball caused Kasukabe Yō to fall backward, landing on his buttocks.

She looked up and saw a figure sitting on a fireball. The one who attacked her—Aisha, the will-o'-the-wisp, with her twin ponytails and her gorgeous black and white gothic Lolita-style lace dress, mocked her with a cute yet arrogant air:

"Hahahaha! Look, look, did you see that? Jack, that nameless guy is sitting on the ground looking pathetic. Hehehe, alright, come on, let's have a good, thorough laugh at her!"

Some audience members laughed, suggesting that besides their rival Aisha, others were also dissatisfied that the nameless community was performing on Shangguan Wen's stage.

Of course, Kasukabe Yo is not the kind of person who would mind these things.

Instead, her gaze remained fixed on the figure that appeared within the fireball.

"Could that be...?"

"That's right, this guy is a masterpiece created by my Will-o'-the-Wisp, the famous monster, Jack the Lantern!"

"It's Jack! Izayoi-kun is the real Jack with the lantern! It's wonderful to meet him like this!"

"I understand, calm down, Miss!"

At that moment, in the audience, Asuka Kudo was extremely excited upon seeing Jack. She was just like a fangirl who had seen her favorite celebrity.

"Just the fact that you have the chance to publicly become my rival, Aisha-sama, should make you cry and thank me. You don't even have a name."

Faced with the haughty Aisha, Kasukabe Yō turned his head away, not wanting to pay her any attention.

"Well......"

"In the name of the organizer's authority, let us prepare a stage for your battle."

At that moment, the White Demon appeared on the railing and clapped his hands, and then the stage changed.

Where am I? Where is this?

Feeling as if she had suddenly entered the interior of a giant tree, Aisha looked around in confusion.

Kasukabe Yo also observed the surrounding situation and even smelled the surrounding scents with his nose.

At this moment, the two of them were no longer in the original arena. In a split second, they had been teleported by the White Yaksha to the competition stage, which was in the center of the trees.

In the arena, the audience pointed to the people on the bubble-like monitoring screens to get information about the two players' situation.

Wow! It's huge!

"Is that ridiculously large tree the stage for the competition?"

"Alright, what kind of matches will follow?"

"It seems quite interesting."

............

"The Labyrinth of Underwood, a place of grace and honor."

In the center of the giant tree, Black Rabbit looked at the contract documents and revealed the rules of this Gift Game to the two.

"Was it the first one to escape from this maze of trees?"

"Destroying the other party's gift is also a win."

"Then let this Gift Match officially begin!"

The match began, but Aisha, the ghost fire, didn't act immediately. Standing there arrogantly, she said to Kasukabe Yao:

"Hey, you go first. It's beneath you to take an unknown opponent too seriously."

"Are you the leader of the will-o'-the-wisps?"

"Huh? Does it look like it? This is so exciting! But it's a pity, Aisha-sama. Even though you're not the leader, everyone always listens to me... Don't run away!"

Perhaps pleased that she had been mistaken for the leader, Aisha answered the question with a cute smile on her face. However, Kasukabe Yo wasn't listening and immediately abandoned the conversation, running towards the passage behind her.

Kasukabe Yoh initiated the conversation, but suddenly ran away halfway through, leaving Aisha stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, Aisha trembled with anger and shouted furiously.

"Hey, so you think we're fools? Since you're going to make a move, we won't hold back. Go, Jack, let's hunt down the Nameless in the root maze!"

With that, Aisha jumped onto Jack's back again and flew after Kasukabe Yo.

"stop!!"

The two quickly caught up with Kasukabe Yo. It has to be said that one was running and the other was flying, so the gap between them was quite large.

"She's full of openings behind her, burn her, Jack!"

"burn!"

Immediately, a stream of blue flames shot out from the pumpkin head's mouth, spraying wave after wave towards Kasukabe Yo.

Seeing that her sprays had missed Kasukabe Yō several times, Aisha, perched on the pumpkin head, shouted somewhat angrily:

"How arrogant! Jack!"

"burn!"

Jack once again sprayed blue flames at Kasukabe Yo, who skillfully dodged each spray. Then she noticed something strange under her feet.

"This is......"

Having realized the true nature of the flames, Kasukabe Yo turned around and waved his hand, using the power he had previously obtained from the griffin to create a gust of wind that dispersed the flames.

Seeing the effect he had created, Kasukabe Yo immediately understood that, just like the information he had obtained from Ninaga, the jet of flames was actually guided by natural gas.

The legacy of the Will-o'-the-Wisp community is the phenomenon of blue flames appearing in uninhabited lands, also known as Oni-fire, but in essence, it is the flame produced when natural gas emitted by the earth spontaneously combusts.
