The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

"...That guy wanted to poison us."

"poisonous?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's heart sank slightly. She quickly opened the character panel and, sure enough, found a poisoned status.

[Human-faced Spider Venom: You will be transformed into a human-faced spider in four hours. At the moment of transformation, your soul will perish.]

"A spider with a human face?"

The thought of those disgusting monsters she had just seen made Yukino Yukinoshita's heart sink.

I'd rather die than become such a disgusting monster!

"I have an antidote."

Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath and silently took out a bottle of purple antidote. This was a consumable she had specially purchased before entering the dungeon, and she hadn't expected it to come in handy.

I unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted my head back and drank the antidote. I opened the character panel again, but unfortunately, the poison status was not removed; it only delayed the onset of the poison.

But there wasn't enough time.

There are still at least seven or eight hours until dawn, which is not enough time to clear the dungeon.

"...The antidote is of too low quality to completely remove the toxins."

Yukino Yukinoshita silently clenched her fists and looked at her toes in silence.

So... is this the end?

"Don't worry, Yukinoshita."

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, a faint bloodstain on her pretty face, having also been injured in the self-destruction. She softly comforted him, "Kiyono has a way to deal with the poison."

"That's right, there's definitely no problem with detoxification."

Eriri spoke confidently, offering words of comfort.

The self-destruction was extremely vicious; apart from Shoko who was unharmed, all the other girls were injured.

Kasumigaoka Utaha whispered:

"Once a formal team is formed, a shared team skill can be unlocked. This skill can only be used once per dungeon. Our team skill's effect is to purify all abnormal statuses, including poison."

"..."

Upon hearing this news, Yukino Yukinoshita quickly looked up and saw that the girl's expression was calm and she showed no sign of panic, so she immediately believed her.

Good news.

No need to turn into a spider with a human face.

But it seems the only way to survive is to join the ranks...

at the same time.

Kiyono Makoto, gripping his Nichirin Blade, returned swiftly.

What just happened?

"We've been ambushed..."

Rio Futaba tilted her head back and calmly recounted what had just happened.

Kiyono Makoto frowned after hearing this:

"Who has been poisoned?"

"Everyone except the glass has been poisoned."

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and tilted her head to look at her. "Although killing the Spider Demon before the poison takes effect can cure it, that Oni-path player is smart and will most likely stall for time to avoid us... Now we can only ask Seino to use team skills."

"Um?"

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly.

He possesses a purification ability, allowing him to cleanse others of abnormal states through physical contact.

Of course, purification has its limits, and whether it can purify the venom of the human-faced spider is still another matter.

But my senior didn't mention it at all... she definitely didn't forget.

Seeing his senior subtly wink, Kiyono Makoto quickly understood:

"Take care of the remaining evil spirits first, then use team skills."

Boom!

Spider-Man fell to the ground once more, his compound eyes now filled with terror.

We can't beat them.

We can't beat them at all.

She was just an ordinary human girl, but she was clearly more terrifying than the legendary Pillars. Even when he used his molting ability, he was still no match for Hinako.

To be precise, he never even touched the hem of the sailor-uniformed girl's dress.

On the contrary, it was that rusty water pipe that always produced a sonic boom.

Seeing her Spider Demon father lying on the ground, panting heavily, his recovery ability almost completely depleted, Hinako Fukami put away the hose and stood quietly beside him.

"Well done."

Kiyono Makoto strode over, praised Fukami Hinako, and then gathered the girls together:

Let's all take a group photo.

While this guy still has a breath left, we certainly can't miss the achievement challenge.

Click.

The photo was captured instantly.

The achievement quest is now two-fifths complete.

"Done."

Kiyono Makoto put away his camera with satisfaction, then looked down at the scene.

"I need to have my license checked."

Splash!

Cards of various colors flew out rapidly, flipping open one by one in the air.

"Yukinoshita-san, do you know any useful cards?"

Kiyono Makoto turned and waved to Yukino.

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded slightly, stepped forward, her gaze sweeping over the cards, then she raised her right hand, her slender fingers drawing away a skill card, and whispered:

"That's enough."

Kiyono Makoto decisively drew his Nichirin Blade and beheaded the Spider Demon father with a single strike.

As his head was removed, the spider demon father's body quickly turned to ashes and disappeared into the air.

You have killed the Spider Demon father and gained 1000 points.

"There's one older sister left."

Kiyono Makoto turned around and led the girls into a devastated canyon.

The nails of the cold sky had not yet melted, emanating a chill that penetrated to the bone.

The spider demon sister finally broke free from the icy restraints, only to run into Kiyono Makoto and his group. She could only use her Blood Demon Art in a final act of resistance.

Kiyono Makoto charged forward, forcefully breaking through the spider cocoon, and easily subdued the spider demon sister, at the cost of his set's damage buffer reaching its limit.

The rest is self-explanatory.

First, take a group photo to complete the achievement challenge, then let Yukino draw a card to completely squeeze out the last bit of value from her. Seino Makoto decisively wields his Nichirin Blade and sends the Spider Demon sister to the Western Paradise.

"call......"

The girls all breathed a sigh of relief.

Eriri with her hands on her hips:

"Aside from the escaped spider demon brother, there was that despicable player hiding in the shadows, and the Lower Moon Five. It can be said that we achieved a great victory."

"Thanks to Kasumigaoka-senpai."

Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses and analyzed seriously, "From a generally rational perspective, the difference in strength between the two sides isn't actually that exaggerated."

"But Kiyono only learned ice magic after entering the dungeon."

"And she was incredibly lucky, which gave Kasumigaoka-senpai a ninefold boost, allowing her to instantly turn the tide of the battle."

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, her eyes darting towards Kiyono Makoto, her gaze burning with intensity.

"Well, if we're really going to talk about it, junior is still the best. He truly deserves to be called the strongest support."

Seino Makoto remained expressionless.

"I don't want to be a support player at all."

"..."

After exchanging a few words, Kiyono Makoto turned to look at Shoko and said softly:

"The active effect of the set is about to expire, we need to complete the Destiny Ritual as soon as possible... Shall we go to the forest?"

Nishimiya Shoko blushed slightly and quickly agreed:

"it is good......"

Kiyono Makoto nodded, and was about to go to the forest with Shoko when a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.

"......award."

Suddenly, Hinako Fukami spoke. The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, but it lacked any emotional fluctuation, which startled everyone.

"You can actually talk?"

Kiyono Makoto looked over in shock.

"..."

Deepwater Hina fell silent again, turning into a statue.

Seino Makoto discussed:

"I'll go to the forest first, and I'll be back in a few minutes."

"..."

Hinako Fukami showed no reaction and refused to let go, clearly not agreeing.

"Alright, then I'll give you water magic first."

Kiyono Makoto sighed helplessly, silently raising his left hand to give Hinako Fukami the pleasurable reward she craved.

"Well......"

Like a robot girl, Hinako Fukami, her body trembled quickly under the healing power of water magic, emitting soft moans.

"What exactly is going on with this water magic?"

Yukino Yukinoshita sounded puzzled, sensing that something was off.

"..."

The girls exchanged glances, their faces flushed slightly, and remained silent.

"Well, Yukinoshita-san, you'll find out later."

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and smiled as she looked over.

Once the other party is on the pirate ship, there's no way they can leave, and they'll definitely have a chance to experience water magic.

"call......"

After unleashing three water spells in one go, Kiyono Makoto's mental energy was mostly depleted, and his head was throbbing slightly, but fortunately, he was not yet completely exhausted.

Rubbing his temples, Makoto Kiyono and Shoko Nishimiya walked into the nearby forest together.

The cool moonlight filtered through the gaps in the treetops, dappling and distant.
