Crossover Anime: Offering Myself as a Sacrifice to the Sword? I Choose to Be the Great Demon King

Chapter 72 Battle: Flame Bombs Against Ice Puppets

The frost gradually spread to Shiori's location. Seeing that things were not good, Kotori quickly ordered someone to teleport Shiori up.

Mo Li and Shi Xiang leaped through the air, dodging the icicles falling from the roof.

As more and more ice pillars were shot at them, Mo Li no longer held back. His golden eyes lit up, and flames shot out from his arm, instantly melting all the ice pillars in front of him.

Seeing that she couldn't hurt Tohka, Yoshino piloted the doll and stomped down hard, shattering all the glass in the department store with a powerful burst of energy.

Then there was another loud bang. Yoshino broke through the building's window, glanced back at Mo Li, and then left.

Mo Li had never been so passive before, wanting to run away after a fight; her competitive spirit was immediately aroused.

Kotori's description of him as a battle maniac was not without reason; how could Mo Li possibly miss such a good opportunity?

Just as Mo Li was about to rush out, Shi Xiang, who was standing to the side, suddenly grabbed him with tears in her eyes.

"Mo Li, is what she said true? You don't want me anymore!"

"What are you talking about? As a servant of the Demon King, you can't leave even if you want to."

"really?"

"Really? You idiot, don't take people's casual remarks to heart. You know you're my family member."

Mo Li patted Tohka's head. If he had known things would turn out this way, Mo Li would have definitely prepared for Tohka in advance.

To prevent similar incidents from happening again, Mo Li felt it was necessary to give Shi Xiang psychological training.

For now, however, the priority should be to appease them.

Mo Li gently touched Shi Xiang's forehead with her hand, and a mark resembling a demon eye appeared.

Tohka also noticed the change on her forehead, and couldn't help but touch it with her hand, then asked:

"Mo Li, this is..."

"This is proof of the contract between us. As long as you can feel its presence, it proves that I will not abandon you."

"Proof between me and Mo Li!"

"That's right, wipe away your tears. You are my kin, Mo Li's kin. Tears are for the weak."

Mo Li slowly stood up, reached out his hand, and prepared to help Shi Xiang up.

Tohka wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded firmly, and then reached out her hand to join Mo Li's.

"Are you feeling better now?"

"Yes, yes, as long as I have this proof, I won't believe anyone who says it anymore!"

"Let's go then. I want to see just how far Yoshino's limits are."

Mo Li rubbed his hands together, the Blade of Rebellion appearing in his hand. Whether or not he could become a (ajfc) familiar, he would decide after a fight.

Just as Mo Li was about to rush out, Shi Xiang's question suddenly stopped him in his tracks:

"Mo Li, do you want to take Yoshinoya as your family member?"

"Ah, I'm facing a very strong enemy, not just Tohka and Yoshino, I need the strength of many more people."

"Since you are Mo Li's enemy, then you are my enemy. I am willing to help you, Mo Li!"

"Oh, please, Tohka, let's go!"

Outside the department store, the members of AST gathered around after hearing the noise coming from inside.

To everyone's surprise, a giant red-eyed rabbit doll flipped and leaped between the walls at an astonishing speed.

"Attention all personnel! Hermit spotted! Prepare to attack!"

"learn!"

The instant Yoshino leaped into the air, several cannonballs struck her head-on, knocking her to the ground.

Amidst the smoke and dust, the ice puppet flew into the sky, unleashing a chilling breath at the pursuing Origami Tobiichi.

Origami quickly unfolded her Freedom Domain, but unexpectedly, the icy mist froze it completely.

As the frost gradually spread across her body, the biting cold assaulted Origami's entire body, leaving her numb and unable to move, her consciousness slowly fading.

Am I going to die? I haven't avenged my parents yet!

I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!

"Second Bloodlust, Word of Power: Monarch's Flame!"

A gentle voice rang in Origami's ear, and pure flames melted the frost.

Mo Li caught the origami falling from the sky, smiled at her, and thought that no matter what, they were classmates who had spent so many days together. Mo Li couldn't bear to watch her get killed.

Before losing consciousness, Origami tried desperately to open her eyes to see who had saved her, but her eyelids felt as heavy as lead and she couldn't open them at all. She could only firmly remember the voice in her heart.

Mo Li gently placed the origami on the ground, then looked at Yoshino.

"Origami! Are you alright? You are... the Demon King, and the Princess!"

"Oh, you're her captain, right? I'm in charge of this battlefield now. You should take Origami to heal her wounds first."

"What did you say? AST is not retreating!"

Ryoko Kusakabe glared fiercely at Mo Li. Although he had saved Origami, it did not negate the evil deeds Mo Li had committed against the previous team members.

Mo Li shrugged, turned his head, and said calmly:

"You haven't forgotten our agreement, have you? Or do you want to try a pincer attack from two elves, or perhaps you want to experience the thrill of fighting amongst yourselves again!"

When facing outsiders, Mo Li transforms back into the fearless demon king, mercilessly stabbing Liao Zi in the sore spots. This is no longer a warning; it's a blatant threat.

Liao Zi wanted to give a strong rebuttal, but she held back when she thought of her teammates' lives.

"Notify all team members to retreat!"

“But Captain, that Hermit…”

"Can't you hear me? I said retreat!"

Ryoko's tough words left the team members with no choice but to obey, abandon their confrontation with Yoshino, and slowly retreat.

Mo Li nodded, greatly appreciating Liao Zi's pragmatism.

Ryoko Kusakabe picked up Origami lying on the ground, glared at Mo Li, and then left with her team.

Next, Mo Li used the power of the spirits to fly through the air and rushed towards Yoshino's direction.

"Yoshino, stop. Tohka didn't do it on purpose."

"Brother Mo Li, move aside! I... I don't want to hurt you, please move aside!"

"Sorry, I won't move aside. How about I take you to find Yoshino instead?"

"Yoshino, waaaaaah!"

Yoshino began to sob softly. Sensing her sadness, the angel exhaled a chilling breath at Mo Li.

Seeing that reasoning was ineffective, Mo Li decided that fighting first and then persuading would be the only option, and indeed, this method was the most suitable for him.

Mo Li didn't even try to dodge; he immediately activated his Bloodlust Mode, releasing his Sovereign Flame from his body, which collided with the Ice Puppet's breath.

The extremely high temperature of the Lord's Flame quickly melted the breath and advanced it onto the ice puppet at an extremely fast speed.

A huge explosion rang out. Yoshino forcibly stabilized the ice puppet's body and, not intending to continue fighting Mo Li, quickly headed towards the outside of the city.

Mo Li was not about to let Yoshino escape, and followed closely behind, his body constantly condensing flames.

Thankfully, Origami was taken away. If she had seen this scene, she would have thought that the Fire Spirit had appeared, and who knows what kind of trouble would have ensued.

Chapter 73 Kotori: Which of us is the Fire Spirit?

Mo Li chased after her, calling Yoshino's name repeatedly, trying to wake her up, but Yoshino showed no sign of stopping and continued running forward.

Their speed was so fast that even Mo Li couldn't keep up, and the distance between them could only grow further and further.

Left with no other choice, Mo Li had to stop and watch helplessly as Yoshino disappeared from his sight.

Mo Li scratched his head. This was the most frustrating situation. He could clearly win, but the other person just wouldn't fight him. He couldn't catch up, so he had no choice but to give up.

No, speed is Mo Li's weakness. Even with Kamui, he can't keep up with Yoshino's speed.

The sky gradually cleared, the dark clouds dispersed, and the rain stopped.

Mo Li knew that Yoshino had been summoned back to the neighboring world again, and he didn't know when they would meet again.

"Mo Li, Yoshino is her..."

"Ah, they must have already gone back. We'll have to see them next time."

"I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, none of this would have happened."

"This is none of your business. Let's go, let's go talk to Kotori!"

Mo Li patted Tohka's head, and taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he flew directly to Fraxinus with her.

With a crash, the glass fell to the ground, creating a large hole in the Fraxinus warship, allowing Mo Li and Tohka to force their way in.

Kotori had already seen this scene on the main screen, but when she actually saw the person, she couldn't help but say:

"How many times have I told you? Can't you just come in through the main entrance or teleport up directly?"

"I'm used to it, I'll definitely do it next time!"

Mo Li's perfunctory words made Qin Li frown; she had heard those words countless times.

Suppressing her urge to hit someone, Kotori crossed her arms and asked haughtily:

"Is there something you need this time?"

"You saw it too, Yoshino, the Hermit you all know. I want all her information, and also check on DEM's recent activities!"

"Huh? You could have just asked Niya to use the Whispering Manual to find out about this, why did you come to me!"

"That drunkard, he spends all his time either in his room or drinking, he doesn't have a single clever thing about him."

Mo Li was speechless at the mention of Nia Honjo. He had clearly put all the wine in the Divine Might Space, yet Nia still managed to get so much out.

It was only after questioning that we learned that Er Ya would secretly have someone deliver wine to her home using the function of the Whispering Book.

Mo Li was furious at the thought of Er Ya using future records to do such a thing.

"Just give it to me, you don't want Tiangong City to become a world of ice and snow, do you?"

"Tch, wait a minute, Lingyin!"

A moment later, all of Yoshino's information was displayed on Ratatosk's main screen.

Shiori then walked over and stood next to Mo Li, whispering:

"Um... Mo Li, thank you for saving me!"

"It's nothing. After all, I'm a customer of yours, and saving you was just a favor."

"Is that so? Did Yoshino run away in the end?"

"Yes, we've left the real world!"

Mo Li looked up at the screen. Yoshino appeared in the world many times, and each time she appeared, it was accompanied by rain.

It is speculated that her abilities are to manipulate water and cold air. Her spiritual power is relatively weak, and the spatial tremors she causes are of low intensity. She has fought against AST multiple times, but most of the time she is in a passive escape phase.

The angel is an ice golem (Zadkiel), whose cold air temperature is close to absolute zero.

"Water and cold air, ouch, if I didn't know how to use the Lord's Flame, I'd probably be frozen into a snowman."

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that? You're clearly a human, yet your body can unleash flames."

"Can't you do that too? How about we have a match next time?"

Mo Li glanced smugly at Qin Li, whose background had long been thoroughly investigated by her using the Whispering Manual.

Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Kotori jumped up from her chair like a wounded rabbit, glaring at Mo Li fiercely before looking at Shiori with a tense expression.

Shiori looked at Kotori with a suspicious gaze, and was about to speak when Kotori spoke first:

"What are you talking about? That's strange. You're going to release flames or something. I can't do that."

Mo Li snorted coldly and didn't say anything, but the smile in her eyes was hard to hide.

Kotori gritted her teeth inwardly, but she couldn't show it in front of Shiori, so she could only beg for mercy:
