677 You think you’re cool just because you have a transformation? (1/2)

”Ryuuno!” Kanna chased after Izawa to support him.

Shika rushed to attack Kanzaki as well.

Seiji glanced at everyone, then followed up.

Although he logically knew that Izawa's advice was correct, Seiji wasn't the type who could simply sit back while his companions were fighting.

Although Kanzaki was injured, he was still incredibly powerful. He managed to kick Izawa away in just a few exchanges of blows.

Kanzaki then speedily retreated and aimed his right hand at Seiji… no, at the people still behind Seiji!

*Whoosh~*

Thick black mist suddenly erupted, engulfing Masao Yanagi, Nobuhiko Kurosaki, and the others!!

The black mist had reappeared! Had Yoshihara's assistance in suppressing the black mist finally ended!?

There were sounds of pitiful screams… Seiji wasn't able to save these people in time. Besides, rather than these 7321 faction members that he didn't know, he cared more about Shika and his friends' safety.

”Get close to me!”

Kanna and Izawa hurriedly got over next to him. Shika stopped her charge and returned to his side. Keimi also carried Shigure on her back and ran over to Seiji.

The black mist attacked explosively yet again!

Seiji output more Mana through his right hand, creating a silvery white barrier to block the black mist.

Although he felt some pressure, the pressure wasn't particularly heavy.

This meant that Kanzaki's black mist ability hadn't fully recovered. Perhaps Yoshihara's assistance was still effective! But, it was likely that the black mist would continue to strengthen again as time went on.

Just as Seiji was thinking about what to do, the black mist suddenly vanished.

Seiji saw Kanzaki suddenly becoming pitch-black with gray runes appearing all over his body. Two dark-red spirals appeared in Kanzaki's eyes, and he was emitting a powerful demonic aura… this was really similar to how Shigure Tendo had entered a berserk state in the previous timeline!

So, this was the demon king's transformation? What was with Shigure Tendo possessing this same transformation in the previous timeline?

Seiji didn't have the time to think about this, because the transformed Kanzaki already started charging over at high speed!

'You think you're cool just because you have a transformation? I'm sorry, I have an ace that can counter you!' Seiji activated his abilities...

Double [Overload] followed by [White Calamity]!

A pure white spiritual figure was formed.

Izawa and the others were awed by this sight.

Kanzaki also slowed down somewhat.

Seiji stepped forward, absorbing the white spirit into himself. He then rushed towards Kanzaki and sliced with his sword!!

*Bang!!!*

Seiji's attack landed a direct hit, causing a spurt of black mist to erupt from Kanzaki's body.

”You… Why…”

No matter what Kanzaki wanted to say, Seiji simply swung his sword in a flurry of attacks!!

*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!* …Each time that Kanzaki blocked a sword blow, more black mist erupted from his body. Kanzaki's movements were becoming obviously stiffer as this went on.

Kanzaki tried to retreat but Seiji followed him closely, slicing him as they ran past several hundred meters!

Kanzaki released a large amount of black mist which Seiji blocked with the power in his right hand. Seiji then continued his vicious flurry of blows!!

Kanzaki counterattacked with a powerful spell. However, Seiji dodged this attack with [Bullet Time] and [Emergency Flash] while continuing the vicious flurry of blows!!!

No matter what he did, Seiji chased him endlessly, attacking, attacking, attacking, attacking, attacking…

Kanzaki never expected that he would be forced into such a situation.

Although Yuuma Saitou was a relatively low-quality host, Saitou's body should have been more than sufficient to deal with the equally low-level tournament participants. Saitou's body should have been more than enough to defeat and kill everyone else in the tournament even without having to rely on the black mist domain… Kanzaki had believed that at the beginning.

Yet, reality had exceeded his expectations.

Shigure Tendo… Seiji Haruta… the famous ”low ability” and ”garbage” of their families…

What a joke.

Kanzaki started laughing loudly, feeling that things were truly amusing. The two individuals judged to be of the lowest ability in the seven major Yin Yang Master families were the ones who had forced him to such a brink!

'What would have happened if these two people fought if the tournament had happened normally?' Kanzaki suddenly became curious about this.

Well, he figured that he would have future opportunities to see these two fighting each other, especially with the well-known grudge between their families.

If Kanzaki fought here seriously, it would probably be possible to kill these little brats here. But, there was no need for that.

'Let's just leave things at this, then. I've already completed everything I need to. The rest is only some small things…'

Anti-demon slash, [Doujigiri]!!!
