A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

Then he slashed down hard at Dayun.

The substance is instantly vaporized at high temperature.

The thunderous blade sliced ​​through the center of the truck's hood like it was cutting tofu, gliding smoothly across the cab, through the cargo box, and finally emerging from the rear.

The two halves of the car, carrying momentum, slid past Qianyu's body on either side.

In that instant, Qianyu could even clearly see the bearded driver in the cab, his face contorted with extreme terror, and the sandwich in his hand that he hadn't had time to throw away.

With the help of the wind vane, both halves of the car came to a safe stop.

The driver is safe and sound.

"Huh...huh..."

Qianyu lowered his hand, the lightning dissipated, and his palms were covered in cold sweat.

No matter how calm he was, he had still narrowly escaped death.

If he had reacted even half a second slower, he would be a pile of minced meat on this highway by now.

Chapter 64 Three Battles with Two Cards!

The surviving driver sat in the half-cab, looking at the empty space beside him, completely bewildered.

Kazama Chiba glanced at the private car owners around her who had started peeking around, and clicked her tongue in annoyance.

"Tsk, what bad luck."

Although it's unclear exactly where it was dumped, judging from the style of the road signs and the vegetation, it's definitely still within Japan and most likely within the territory of Kamisui City.

The problem is, the physical distance between here and that comic convention center is far enough that he would have to run himself ragged.

"Qianyu! Are you alright?!"

The little creature on my shoulder finally recovered from its stiff state. It glanced at the pile of scrap metal, still shaken, and then at Qianyu.

"That teleportation device actually teleported us here? It must be at least tens of kilometers away! What does it want to do? Exile us?"

"It's obvious that this is a diversionary tactic."

Qianyu patted the dust off her clothes, her eyes dark and gloomy.

"That old guy probably thought that a head-on confrontation was too risky, so he simply threw me far away. By the time I got back, his skill cooldown was already over."

"Oh right! I remember now."

Xiao Ke suddenly realized what was happening, and a hint of joy appeared on the doll's face.

"While the Shift Card can teleport objects infinitely, it has a distance limit and consumes a lot of magic power when teleporting living beings!"

"The fact that the move just now didn't throw us into the Pacific Ocean or outer space means that the teleportation distance of the card-shifting technique has reached its limit."

"Its magic power is definitely depleted now, and it absolutely cannot teleport you a second time in a short period of time. Like the Time Card, it is in a weakened state where it cannot activate its abilities again!"

Qianyu picked up the conversation.

"In other words, as long as we get back before they finish reviving, we can take down both the old and the young cards in one fell swoop."

Xiao Ke glanced at the traffic jam around him.

"That's true, but how are we going to get back?"

"Taking a taxi is definitely too late, and flying back is too slow. By the time we walk there, the ability to move license plates and adjust time plates will probably be available again."

"Who said I was going to take a taxi?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ke's words, Qian Yu snapped her fingers.

Then the shadow beneath his feet suddenly seemed to come alive and boil violently.

Several shadowy ninjas silently emerged from beneath the asphalt road, kneeling on one knee in perfect unison.

Then Qianyu threw a few gold bars from her bosom as compensation for the driver's emotional distress and for the car repair costs, and ordered the Shadow Legion to open the passage and take him back.

Without any hesitation, the ninjas quickly formed a circle, and the dark shadow rapidly spread, forming a black vortex on the road leading to the abyss.

This is a shortcut.

A shortcut to the Shadow Kingdom.

Normally, the Shadow Legion travels along the path of the Shadow Kingdom. However, although using the Shadow Kingdom for spatial jumps is extremely convenient, this path is filled with dark power.

In the original setting, living people who frequently enter the Shadow Kingdom will be corrupted by dark forces and eventually become Tara's puppets. Fortunately, this is Chiyu's first attempt, and it is still within the safe threshold.

Moreover, even if she were to be corrupted by Tara, Chiyu couldn't care less about that now.

That old man must die!

"Hold on tight."

With a low shout, Qian Yu leaped into the black vortex.

……

Inside the comic convention, in front of the "Elden Ring" booth.

Just as the crowd of onlookers were pointing and discussing the empty "Elden Ring" booth and how the young man had suddenly disappeared,

The originally hard floor tiles suddenly rippled like the surface of water.

A hand suddenly reached out from underground, followed by a dusty, dirty figure.

The bewildered onlookers were terrified by this entrance, which resembled something out of a horror movie, and began to scream and scatter.

Kazama Chiba had no time to care about any of that.

He was like a demon who had crawled back from hell, covered in the smell of smoke and fire, with eyes so fierce they could kill.

The old man was still sitting there.

The hourglass in my hand was running down to its last few grains of sand.

Seeing that Qianyu had returned so quickly, a slightly surprised expression finally flashed across the old man's withered, bark-like face.

But it was just an accident.

Without saying a word, Qianyu used the Ghost Shadow Legion's shoulders to propel herself forward like a cannonball.

The sealing staff in his hand had already begun to glow.

"You old fool! Let's see where you run this time!"

However, at this very moment

The last grain of sand in the old man's hourglass gently fell to the bottom.

Time has come to an end.

The old man raised his head and gave Qianyu, who was standing close by, a meaningful smile.

Young man, you're still too green.

Then, that familiar green light struck again.

……

"Hey, classmate, since we're so lucky, would you like to take a look at my new work?"

The familiar opening remarks.

Kazama Chiba opened her eyes.

Before me was the face of a girl with short pink hair and purplish-red eyes.

Everything has returned to square one.

Akane Shinjo blinked and handed the notebook forward.

"This is a story about the 'real protagonist.' Even if you're not interested, we can still discuss it..."

Chiba looked at Shinjo Akane, who had appeared in front of her yet again, and felt as if a million alpacas were galloping through her mind.

He finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"It was so close!!!"

These two bastards! Aren't they being a bit underhanded?!

Infinite save/load loops, huh? Cheating, huh? If you've got the guts, don't reset! Let's have a real fight, you bastard!

The shout startled Akane Shinjo, who took a half-step back while clutching her notebook.

But Qianyu couldn't care less about her at all.

All he wants now is to tear those two cards to shreds and feed them to the dogs.

"It's over, it's really over... completely over!"

Xiao Ke's voice was trembling with tears.

"What do you mean it's over? It's just reloading the save and starting over, right?"

Qianyu gritted her teeth, trying hard to calm her urge to kill.

"It was just a second too late! If only I were faster next time, I could have caught it before the hourglass ran out of time."

That's not the problem!

Xiao Ke grabbed Qian Yu's collar and shook her desperately.

"Chiyu, don't you understand yet? The Time Card's ability isn't just a simple save/load! Its time rewind involves resetting the state!"

"W-What do you mean?"

"It means..."

"At this reset point in time, everything except the Time Card itself will return to its original state! Including mana! Including skill cooldowns!"

Qianyu sensed something was wrong.

"You don't mean to say that all the mana you used to move that card has been fully restored, do you?!"

"Yes."

Xiao Ke lay limp, looking utterly hopeless.
