All players have already chosen their faction.
[Demon Hunter faction players: 7]
[Number of players in the Demon Path faction: 7]
"Um?"
Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly.
"There are seven people?"
I thought that everyone except the rest of the team would choose the Demon faction, since the Demon faction seems to have an advantage in clearing the game, but now there are actually seven people... Senpai, Eriri, Kato Megumi, Futaba, and Shoko, plus Kiyono Makoto, making a total of six people.
In other words, another random player chose the human faction?
Kiyono Makoto turned his head and calmly glanced at the aloof, unapproachable girl not far away.
Could it be that girl?
at the same time.
Suddenly, text popped up in front of Kiyono Makoto's eyes:
You have chosen the Demon Hunter faction.
[Faction Side Quest Now Available: Reinforcements Arrive]
[Mission Objective: You will receive 500 points for each Demon Slayer Corps member you save who is destined to die and ensure their survival until dawn.]
[Note: There is no penalty for failing a side quest]
"There are even side quests..."
Seino Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly:
"Speaking of which, since it's a Demon Slayer arc, will we encounter Tanjiro, Nezuko, and the other main characters?"
Just when I thought it was over, lines of text popped up in front of Kiyono Makoto again.
[The theme park version update is successful... The achievement system is officially online.]
[Current dungeon offers the challenge achievement 1: Mad Photographer, take a group photo with all members of the Spider Ghost family]
[Achievement 2: Spider Destroyer. Kill all members of the Spider Demon Clan]
[Achievement Three: Absolute Control. Successfully regained control of the body when it was being controlled by the Spider Demon Mother.]
[Achievement 4: The Chosen One. Before the main quest ends, successfully learn any breathing technique.]
[Note: The achievement system is unrelated to the main storyline. Unlocking achievements will not directly earn you points, but you will receive corresponding titles. Wearing these titles may bring unexpected surprises.]
Live on with all your might and pursue the true meaning of life!
With that, the park announcement has finally come to an end, and the dungeon has officially begun.
"There's one more thing before we assemble..."
Kiyono Makoto turned his head and looked at the girl with long black hair not far away.
"Excuse me, which faction did you choose?"
First diplomacy, then force.
If the opponent has chosen the Demon faction, you can take action now.
As he spoke, Kiyono Makoto simply opened the character panel and selected to display the main quest.
"Glass."
Kiyono Makoto whispered a reminder.
Nishimiya Shoko nodded quickly, then opened her character panel, naturally selecting the Demon Hunter faction.
Seeing the two openly displaying their allegiances, the wariness in the long-haired girl's eyes finally dissipated somewhat. She parted her cherry lips slightly, her voice clear and pleasant, like pearls falling onto a jade plate:
"...I am from the Demon Hunter faction."
Kiyono Makoto's eyes were calm:
"Please provide evidence."
"..."
The girl with long, straight black hair didn't refuse. Instead, she silently opened her character panel. The key information was hidden, but the main quest was clearly displayed, confirming that she was indeed in the Demon Hunter faction.
"Since we're both on the demon hunter side, then our relationship will be one of cooperation from now on."
Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly and smiled:
"May I ask your name?"
The girl with long, straight black hair crossed her arms, paused for two seconds, and then responded coolly:
"...Under the snow."
Even though they were partners, the girl with long, straight black hair remained wary and didn't reveal her full name, only giving her surname, without even knowing if it was true or not.
"Under the snow...?"
Kiyono Makoto's expression subtly shifted for a moment.
Could it be that absolutely correct Yukinoshita?
Despite the speculation, Kiyono Makoto didn't say anything more. He simply mentioned his and Shoko's surnames as a greeting, then opened the team channel to prepare to meet up with the girls.
After a brief inquiry, it was discovered that the four girls—senior, Takumi, Kato Megumi, and Futaba—were together, while he and Shoko were 'strayed'.
"...by a lake halfway up the mountain?"
After learning the location of his senior and the others, Kiyono Makoto looked up at the long-haired girl with black hair not far away and explained briefly:
"I've assembled a full team, and all my teammates have chosen the Demon Hunter faction. We're currently at a lake halfway up the mountain... Yukinoshita, will you come up the mountain with us?"
"Formal team?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but her expression remained aloof.
"...I'll follow behind."
Even within the same camp, Yukinoshita would not completely let her guard down, preferring to follow at a distance rather than walk alongside.
"let's go."
Kiyono Makoto didn't care and climbed the mountain side by side with Shoko.
The three of them were at the foot of the mountain, and to find the lake, they would naturally have to climb up.
A moment later, Nishimiya Shoko suddenly reached out her small hand and grabbed Kiyono Makoto's thumb, her voice tense:
"...Kiyono-kun, there's a sound ahead."
Without the Silent Hill fog suppressing her hearing, Shoko's hearing became even more acute.
Kiyono Makoto quickly stopped and gestured for a pause behind him.
Under the snow's understanding, he quickly held his breath and hid his figure in the shade of the trees.
In the darkness, rustling sounds quickly became clear, and under the cold moonlight, a swaying figure emerged from the bushes.
The other person was a young woman dressed in a black samurai coat and white leggings, a style reminiscent of the old era. She was covered in mud and blood, and her movements were stiff, like a marionette.
"...A member of the Demon Slayer Corps?"
Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly, quickly determining the other party's identity.
The next second.
The Demon Slayer Corps member suddenly tilted his head to the side, then abruptly raised his katana and charged forward without a word.
"Glass, back off."
Kiyono Makoto remained calm, shielding Shoko behind him, then took out a samurai sword from his backpack and charged straight at her.
when!
Sparks flew.
The sound of hammering suddenly rang out.
Ding ding ding ~
Kiyono Makoto parried the attacks while gathering intelligence.
"Very strong, but lacking in skill."
"Their movements were stiff, but their eyes weren't blank; instead, they were filled with fear and pain..."
"Is it the Spider-Woman's mother's power from the comics?"
Kiyono Makoto suddenly unleashed his speed, swinging his sword towards the sky above the Demon Slayer Corps members.
*Sigh*
A soft sound came from mid-air, as if something unseen had been suddenly severed.
But the Demon Slayer Corps members did not stop; they continued to swing their swords.
At that moment, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out from under the snow:
"He's probably a puppet controlled by the Spider Demon Mother. She can release spiderlings that bite humans and spit venom, thus controlling their bodies. Cutting the threads won't help."
"Thank you, my hazy memories have suddenly become clear."
While making sarcastic remarks, Kiyono Makoto prepared to use water magic to control his opponent.
"I'll control her."
As Yukino Yukinoshita's voice rang out, the sound of a bowstring vibrating suddenly came from behind.
Whoosh!
An arrow formed from moonlight shot forth with lightning speed, hitting the Demon Slayer Corps member squarely in the body.
The moonlight arrow shattered suddenly, then transformed into a rope of light that bound the Demon Slayer Corps members.
Kiyono Makoto quickly turned his head and glanced at the girl with long, straight black hair in surprise.
Such a swift and decisive move, you're definitely not a newbie anymore...
"Leave the task of finding the spider to me."
Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath and stepped forward to confront Onigumo.
Saving a Demon Slayer Corps member will earn you extra points, so don't miss out!
Just then, something unexpected happened.
Nishimiya Shoko, who was quietly hiding to the side to avoid causing trouble, suddenly felt a pain in her neck. Her eyes widened in panic, and she uncontrollably moved stealthily towards Kiyono Makoto...
Chapter 135 Under the Snow: I Want to Draw a Card!
"My body...I can't control it..."
Nishimiya Shoko opened her beautiful eyes wide in tension, trying to struggle, but found that her body had become like a puppet on strings, completely beyond her control.
"I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my neck... Did a little spider sneak up and bite me?"
Although she had become a puppet, Nishimiya Shoko was only panicked and not afraid.
The reason is simple.
With Kiyono by my side, I'm sure I'll be rescued.
"Hey, hey, why is my body moving towards Kiyono-kun?"
Nishimiya Shoko finally panicked when she realized her body had taken on its own and was heading straight for Kiyono Makoto.
"A monster in the shadows, trying to control itself to hurt Kiyono-kun?"
"don't want!"
"Absolutely not!"
"..."
Nishimiya Shoko wasn't worried about hurting Kiyono. With her abilities, even if her body was controlled, she couldn't possibly defeat Kiyono Makoto. But even if she only hurt him, she would still feel extremely guilty.
