The character who attacked her," Willowisp " Aixia, swung her twin ponytails and wore a black and white goth loli style gorgeous lace dress. She teased Yao in a cute but arrogant tone,"
"Ahahahaha! Look, look, do you see that! Jack! The guy from "No Name" fell to the ground in an ugly manner! Hehehe, alright, let's laugh at her thoroughly!”
“YAFUFUFUUUUUuuuuu！”
A portion of the audience laughed. It seemed that other than her opponent, Summer, there were others who were dissatisfied with the fact that the 'nameless' community was standing on the glorious stage.
"Everyone, shut up for This Demon King!”Xiao Tian angrily released a powerful aura that controlled the souls of the audience. If they dared to laugh again, their souls would explode, and they would turn into a pile of meat paste and blood.
However, Kasuga was not someone who would mind such things.
Because her eyes were fixed on the silhouette in the center of the fireball.
"That fireball…could it be…"
"What? What are you talking about? Don't compare Miss Aixia's work to Fireball. This guy is the famous ghost of Willowisp! Jack-o-lantern!"
“YAFUFUFUUUUUUuuuuuu！”
Aixia winked at Fireball, who was sitting on her. Fireball shook off the flames around him and appeared in front of everyone. Not only was he dazzling, but everyone in the audience was speechless.
A lantern that was burning fiercely, and a light black cloth dress that had no physical body.
There was also a huge pumpkin head that was about ten times the size of a human head.
This appearance was the pumpkin monster that Flying Bird had always yearned for since he was young.
"Jack! Xiao Tian, look, it's Jack! A real Jack-o-lantern!"
"Alright, alright, I got it. Calm down, Miss. It's not like I haven't seen it before."
Flying Bird let out a fanatical cry that did not sound like her as she shook Xiao Tian's shoulders. Fortunately, she couldn't hear what was going on below because Aixia was mocking Yao with a contemptuous attitude on the side of the stage.
"Humph! It's just a 'nameless' character, but his introduction is before our 'Willowisp'. He's too arrogant! Today is the stage for me to show off my skills. Just the opportunity to be my opponent should make you cry and thank me, you bunch of nobodies!”
“YAHO!YAHO!YAFUFUUUuuuuuuuu～～～～”
Aixia and Jack continued to mock Yao, who was sitting on the ground and did not intend to get up.
If Asuka was also present, perhaps her hopes for Jack would be shattered.
Black Rabbit, who had witnessed this scene at such a close distance, would have exploded in anger if he didn't need to be the referee. Although she didn't show it on her face, she had already begun to emit an angry aura that only people familiar with her could detect. However, she didn't need to do it personally. Someone was already furious.
Bang!
A sharp black flying knife brushed past Aixia's face and stabbed into the floor.
"Aixia, Vela didn't hand you over to me to mock others. If you dare to do this again, be careful of your hair and clothes!”
"Yes, sir! I'm sorry!"
Jack, who was beside him, laughed gloatingly.
“HOHO! Aixia has met her nemesis."
At this moment, the black rabbit felt that it was time to maintain order.
"Alright, alright, please restrain your provocative behavior before the start! The competition is about to begin."
Aixia returned to the stage with a contemptuous attitude and tone. Yao gently patted the dust off and followed him onto the stage. Next, she looked around the round stage and waved at Asuka and the others on the balcony.
Asuka also noticed Yao's actions and waved at the stage in response.
Aixia seemed to be very dissatisfied with these actions. She clicked her tongue and said sarcastically,"
"You're really confident! How dare you ignore Jack and me and wag your tail at the guests and the organizers? What was that? Are you provoking us?"
"Yes."
Aixia pouted, as if she had been completely provoked. It seemed that the effect was extraordinary.
Although Yao looked gentle, he actually had a rather unyielding side. The black rabbit seemed to have let out a sigh of relief because of this counterattack. It reached out to the balcony of the palace and solemnly announced,
"Then, before the first round of the game begins, please explain the stage to Lord White Yaksha. Everyone, please keep quiet!"
At this moment, all the noise on the scene disappeared. In order to listen to the " organizer "'s speech, the venue was silent. The white yaksha, who had arrived at the balcony, looked around at the quiet venue and nodded slowly.
"Yes, thank you for your cooperation. After all, as you can see, my body is like a child's, and I'm not good at talking loudly. Then, regarding the stage of the game…I would like everyone to take a look at the invitation letter in your hands. Is there a number written on it?"
The audience took out their invitations. Those who didn't have it in their hands hurriedly rummaged through their luggage, and those who didn't bring it at all could only feel regret. The white yaksha looked at everyone's happy and worried expressions and continued to explain,"
"Then, is there anyone who has the same number on their invitation letter as the organizer's outer sect member, Thousand Eyes 'number 3345? If they were present, they would raise the invitation letter and say the name of the community.”
There was a commotion in the audience.
In the end, a young tree spirit in the audience directly in front of the balcony raised his invitation letter.
"It's…it's here! The community 'Underwood' has the invitation letter of number 3345!”
Cheers rang out in the venue. The white yaksha smiled and disappeared from the balcony like a thin mist. In the next moment, he appeared in front of the young man.
"Hehe. Congratulations, little tree elf from Underwood. I'll get someone to send you a souvenir later. Then, is it convenient for me to see your flag?”
The young man nodded vigorously. He handed over a wooden bracelet. On it was a town surrounded by the roots of a huge tree. It should be the symbol of his community. After observing the flag for a while, the white yaksha returned the bracelet to the young man with a smile and returned to the balcony in the next moment.
"What, have you decided on the venue?" Xiao Tian asked the white yaksha if he was confirming the venue.
"Yes, it has been decided. However, the venue might be beneficial to the ghost fire.”
"Then, I will pay attention to fire precautions.”
"I'll leave it to you, kid."
"Yes, a thousand-year-old loli in a kimono.”
The white yaksha stretched out his hands and clapped.
This action alone was enough to change the world.
It was a rather drastic change.
The ground beneath Kasuga's feet was engulfed by nothingness, and many streamlined worlds could be seen spinning on the other side of the darkness. Yao noticed that one of them was the stage where he had fought with Vulture Lion.
"This is…White Yaksha's…?”
Then there was nothing to feel uneasy about. Yao gave up the feeling of sinking into the bottom of the pot and waited quietly for himself to be filtered. Accompanied by the dazzling rainbow light, she was the only one thrown to the end of the stars.
Puff! The sound of the landing was somewhat unexpected to Yao. She took a closer look and saw that the material under her feet was part of a tree.
No, these were not ordinary trees.
"This tree…No, it's not just the ground. This place is surrounded by tree roots?”
It was a huge hole surrounded by huge tree roots. The reason why Yao could tell that the tree trunk in front of her was actually a root was because her strong sense of smell could distinguish the smell of soil.
The other person who heard Yao talking to himself mocked her with a contemptuous attitude.
"Aiya, aiya, thank you for telling us. Was this place inside the tree roots?”
“……”
Yao turned her head away without a care, her back facing Aixia. Although she didn't intend to provoke her this time, her actions were enough to make Aixia angry.
Even though she and Jack the Pumpkin Lamp were ready to fight, Yao stopped them in a low voice.
"The game hasn't started yet."
"What? What did you say…"
"The conditions for victory and defeat haven't been announced yet, so it can't be considered an official game yet.”
Aixia wasn't too happy, but she probably thought that Yao's words made sense.
So she swung her ponytails and observed the big hole formed at the root with a disapproving attitude. She muttered,
"However, as expected of Lord Star Elf. She's worlds apart from us inferior demons. She actually has such a strange game board.”
"Then…probably not."
"Ah?"
Yao didn't respond. He just shook his head. This was the second time she had been brought into the game by the white yaksha.
The previous experience, plus the various actions regarding the invitation letter before the transfer.
Most importantly, the low body temperature made her have a hypothesis about this stage.
"If we can leave this place and head outside, we should be able to understand the details…Oh?”
At this moment, the space between the two of them suddenly split open.
The person who emerged from the crack was Xiao Tian, who was holding a glowing parchment.
"For this competition, I will be the referee. The reason is to prevent someone from causing a fire and hurting people.”
Xiao Tian held up the " contract document " that was created based on the organizer's authority and calmly read the contents of the document.
[Gift Game Name: Underwood's Labyrinth]
[Condition for victory: 1. The contestant must leave the maze formed by the roots of the big tree and enter the wild.]
2. The contestant destroys the opponent's gift.
3. When the opponent is unable to meet the conditions for victory (including surrender).
[Defeat Condition: 1. The opponent has met one of the conditions for victory.]
2. When the contestant is unable to meet the conditions for victory.
"In the name of the organizer, I swear under the banner that the above rules are inviolable by both parties. Both sides must fight a glorious battle worthy of bragging. Now, the game begins.”
Xiao Tian's oath ended. This was the whistle that signified the start of the game.
The two of them distanced themselves from each other and pondered over their first move. Since there were several conditions for victory, he naturally hoped for a clear strategy.
After a short period of silence, the first to move was Aixia, who had a contemptuous smile on her face.
"It's useless to stare at each other. I'll let you attack first.”
“…………？”
"Forget it. After all, that kind of thing just happened. It would be troublesome if it was brought up again later.”
Aixia shook her ponytails and shrugged her shoulders, revealing a calm smile on her face.
Kasuga Kazufuru thought for a while without any expression on his face before asking,"
"You're…the leader of Willowisp?”
"Eh? Did it look like it? That was really delightful! But unfortunately, Miss Aixia, I…"
Perhaps she was happy that she was mistaken for a leader, Aixia answered the question with a cute smile on her face. However, Yao was not listening. She gave up the conversation and quickly ran to the passage behind her. Xiao Tian immediately slapped her.
"Idiot! She ran away! If you don't hurry up, I'll take it that you forfeited!”
"Damn it! Wait a minute!"
It was clearly Yao who initiated the conversation, but she suddenly ran away halfway, which stunned Aixia for a while.
Aixia suddenly regained her senses and was trembling with anger. She shouted angrily,"
"Hey…hey! So you're playing me like a fool! Since you want to make a move, we won't show mercy! Go, Jack! Hunt Nameless in the maze of tree roots! Jack!"
“YAHOYAHOHOhoho～！”
Aixia was so angry that her two ponytails stood up and she gave chase. He completely ignored Xiao Tian behind him.
"White! White!"
With his back facing them, Kasugebe Yao kept climbing up the gaps of the tree roots that looked like tunnels. Aixia shouted at Yao's back,"
"We have the geographical advantage. Burn her to death! Jack!"
“YAFUUUUUUUuuuuu！”
As Aixia raised her left hand, demonic flames burst out from Jack's pumpkin head and the lantern in his right hand, instantly burning the roots and attacking Yao.
