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

Mana shook her head. Ever since she could remember, she had been hunting down Kurumi, killing her countless times, but each time Kurumi revived, Mana felt extremely anxious.

It's unclear when exactly, but killing Kurumi became Mana's purpose in life. Just like Kurumi's identifying name, she was Mana's nightmare.

Countless resurrections, countless hunts—Mana lived in this torment.

One day, Mana learned that her older sister was still alive, which brought color to her life.

Although she doesn't know Kurumi's purpose in contacting her sister, Mana must fight to protect her.

"Mana, are humans and elves truly unable to coexist peacefully? Why must we kill them?"

"You know the power of a spacequake as soon as a spirit appears, not to mention the even more dangerous Nightmare. Have you forgotten the deaths of those boys just now?"

Shiori recalled what had just happened and almost couldn't help but vomit again; the scene was unforgettable for her.

But Shiori believed that Kurumi must have her reasons for doing this. If Kurumi really was indiscriminately killing innocent people, then why did she have to pick on her?

"Sorry, Zhen, I'll continue doing it."

"Why, sister? You saw it with your own eyes, why are you still so stubborn?"

"I believe in Kurumi, even if she wants to kill me!"

Mana looked at Shiori with a puzzled expression. She didn't understand why her sister would do this.

In Mana's mind, spirits are evil; their appearance signifies disaster. They are things that cannot exist in the world and must be eliminated.

Kurumi Tokisaki is the best example of this; even if you kill her ten thousand times, you'll still keep going.

However, Shiori believes that spirits are not evil, but rather beings that can coexist peacefully.

The difference in their beliefs may be the source of the disagreement between Ratatosk and DEM.

"I understand. I respect my sister's choice. However, I will absolutely not allow the nightmare to harm my sister."

"Ah, that's enough, really!"

"If possible, I suggest you stay away from the Demon King. He seems to be protecting Nightmare."

"I understand that Mo Li has his own purpose, but he also protected me last time."

Mana frowned. She was really worried about having an unstable element like Mo Li around Shiori all the time.

But since Shiori said so, Mana couldn't really refute it and could only keep her worries to herself.

Chapter 98 Mana's Lifespan, and the Negotiation with Kotori

Fraxinus, the analysis room.

Murasame Reine was sitting in front of her computer, the screen displaying the image of Takamiya Mana, along with her DNA.

Kotori stood to the side, her palms slightly sweaty. She had finally managed to get Mana's DNA sample, and she wanted to know whether this suddenly appearing younger sister was real or not.

"The results are out!"

"So, Reine, what's the relationship between Mana and my sister?"

"By comparing Shiori and Mana's DNA, the analysis results show that the two are indeed biological sisters!"

When Reine's calm voice rang out, Kotori seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and loosened her grip on his hand.

"Really? I understand!"

Although Kotori said she was fine, only she knew what she was really thinking, even though she had expected it.

The two look so alike that even without comparison, there would be virtually no doubt about it.

However, Kotori soon had a new question: where had Mana gone all these years, and why had she lost her memory?

"Does Ratatosk have any information about Mana Takamiya in its database?"

Lingyin shook her head. This was not surprising; people in secret professions usually had their information erased.

Moreover, since Mana came from DEM, the only way to find her information, besides their own database, is through Nia's Angelic Confession.

"I see. Then, is it possible to investigate her background through AST? I remember Mo Li asked me for that last time."

"That works. We found her, Takamiya Mana. She's an AST replacement from DEM assigned to the Tengu Garrison, a lieutenant, and her purpose is unknown!"

"DEM Company? This is going to be tricky!"

Kotori frowned. As Ratatosk's old rival, she didn't know much about some of these things either.

I've only heard a little about them from Woodman, and they seem to be an organization that knows something about elves.

On the surface, it is a huge company that develops and manufactures electronic components, but behind the scenes, it provides technology for display devices and sells weapons that use display devices to militaries and businesses in various countries.

It can be said that, apart from Ratatosk, DEM has sold almost all display devices.

Just then, Lingyin noticed something was wrong. After typing a few times on the keyboard, she nodded.

"What's going on, Lingyin? Is there a problem?"

"Kotori, look at this! Mana's physical stats..."

After Lingyin finished speaking, she stepped aside and displayed the data on the screen to Kotori.

Kotori was also shocked; this was simply beyond the realm of normal human beings.

"What exactly is this...?"

"It's likely that Mana's body underwent excessive magical treatment; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that a part of her body has become an elf. That's probably why she was able to kill Kurumi."

"Damn it, DEM always does these kinds of experiments, they even target their own people!"

"Conservatively speaking, Zhenna's lifespan is less than ten years."

Kotori slowly closed her eyes, thought about it carefully, and realized that Mana probably didn't know about this yet.

Having finally met his older sister, if he were suddenly told that he only had ten years left to live, he might do something unexpected.

In this situation, Kotori couldn't just stand by and watch Shiori die, after all, she was Shiori's younger sister.

Is there any other way to save her?

"Given the current level of medical care in Ratatosk, if she no longer needs the display device and actively cooperates with the treatment, her lifespan should be extended."

"It's just prolonging the illness, can't it completely cure her?"

"I think only one person can do this!"

Although Murasame Reine didn't reveal who that person was, Kotori guessed it; only Mori could do it.

Mo Li has a variety of methods, so saving a person's life is naturally a piece of cake.

But the key is that this guy won't do anything without a reason. Last time, in order to prevent him from participating in Shiori's date, he already promised himself to her. Now, it's even more difficult to get Mo Li's help.

No matter how difficult it is, Kotori will give it a try, but as for the price, Kotori is a little unsure.

Without delay, Qinli quickly dialed Moli's number and invited him to meet up at Fraxinus.

Mo Li thought that Qin Li was going to keep her promise, so she readily agreed.

Piloting the Ice Golem, she once again broke through Fraxinus's defenses and arrived in front of Kotori.

"Ughhhhh, I told you to use the main entrance! Why can't you remember?"

"Next time for sure, next time for sure. What brings you here so late? Are you trying to fulfill your promise and come to make a contract with me?"

Kotori shook her head and told Mo Li the whole story. Mo Li immediately lost her spirits.

He slumped into the chair, his whole body slumped over the screen, and drowsiness instantly overwhelmed Mo Li.

"So this is what you asked me to come here for?"

"That's right, do you have any way to save Mana, preferably in a way that will solve the problem once and for all?"

"Yes, there is, but why would I save her? Anyway, this guy is with Allen and the others, so you don't have to fight her for Shiori anymore!"

"As expected, you knew about this all along!"

Mo Li stretched, rested her chin on her hand, yawned, and did not refute Qin Li's words.

Seeing Mo Li's bored expression, Kotori was exasperated and, barely suppressing her anger, asked:

"Just tell me what it will take for you to save her, and what conditions you need!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Li smiled slightly, then straightened his back, looking completely different from before.

Only now did Mo Li begin to show a slight interest in what Qin Li was saying.

"The price for making a deal with the Demon King is naturally her soul!"

"What do you mean?"

Kotori frowned, sensing something unusual. Wasn't the soul synonymous with death?

Soon, Mo Li stood up, waved his finger at Kotori, and explained:

"It's simple. I saved her, and from now on, she will serve me to the death!"

"What did you say? That's absolutely impossible, she really won't agree."

"Don't rush to refuse. Think about it carefully. Mana only has less than ten years left in the future, or even less. If she dies, how heartbroken Shiori will be!"

"That won't work either. I'll still die if I go with you!"

Kotori shook her head firmly. She might not know how terrifying the world Mo Li lived in was, but judging from his strength, his opponents wouldn't be weak either.

She was ready to follow Mo Li, but not Zhen Na; she needed to leave someone behind for Shi Zhi.

"She's my subordinate, so of course I'll protect her from death. Besides, you wouldn't want to see Shiori heartbroken, would you?"

"But leaving my sister here alone, wouldn't that be even worse..."

"What I really need is a head chef; I can just have her come along."

After Mo Li finished speaking, Kotori could find no other reason to refuse. She could only look at Mo Li with a resentful expression, and after staring at him for a long time, she slowly said:

"You bastard, you didn't plan this all along, did you?!"

"Hahaha, what are you saying? I don't understand a word you're saying!" Maru.

Chapter 99 Mo Li's Advice, Yoshino's Frozen Ratatosk

In the end, Kotori nodded and agreed to Mo Li's almost absurd suggestion.

However, whether or not it is carried out in the end depends on Mana's own wishes. If she insists on choosing to die, Mo Li will not stop her, since she is not on the list of family members.

The next morning, Kurumi approached Shiori and said to her:

"Good morning, Shiori-san!"

Good morning!

Shiori was clearly lacking in confidence, but the thought of Kurumi and Mana gave her courage.

Kurumi was slightly surprised. After the park incident, Shiori still hadn't given up?

"This is so funny!" Kurumi tapped her head lightly and said with a smile.

"But I was really startled. I thought Shiori would definitely take the day off today!"

"Kurumi, I've decided to save you!"

Kurumi was clearly taken aback by Shiori's words, and said in a half-joking tone:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I will never let you kill again, and I will never let Mana kill you again!"

Seeing that Shiori was serious, Kurumi lowered her head, making it impossible for Shiori to see her expression.

How dare a mere human dare to spout such nonsense about salvation? Who do you think I am?

Kurumi was feeling down and angry, and even Mo Li didn't dare to say such things.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, but it was fleeting. Kurumi, still smiling, said:

"Is that so, Shiori-san? Then I'll look forward to you saving me!"

After Kurumi finished speaking, she skipped and hopped towards the rooftop. Those who knew her well could tell that she was now in a state of extreme rage and could explode at any moment.

Shiori returned to the classroom, sat down in her seat, and prepared for her first class.

Mo Li sat not far from her. It was unusual that Shi Xiang didn't come to school with Mo Li today.

He sensed the spiritual energy emanating from within the school, a smile playing on his lips—the real show was about to begin.
