Chapter 147: Players lead the U17 elimination team to fight...

Looking at the Weeping Sea leader flying across the sky with his pants in his mouth by a giant ghost lord, the scene was so beautiful that no one dared to look at it.

He had become a comedian for no apparent reason, and Kirihara Akaya was completely devastated at this moment.

Clearly, clearly he just wanted to be brave and rescue Vice Minister Sanada - how come it's his turn all of a sudden?! !

Genichirō Sanada and the Rikkai crowd looked up at Kirihara Akaya who was being carried away by the Ghost Lord. Although his rushing movements were terrifying, it seemed that they were only terrifying in appearance and there was almost no actual damage.

Looking at it this way...

Kirihara Akaya was still shedding tears on the spot, mentally composing eight hundred different ways to die.

Oh, no, now that I have Gui Juice, I won't die, I'm just near death...

Isn't that even more terrifying?!

The kelp-headed girl could barely hold back her tears, sobbing and choking as she looked towards the Rikkai University seniors, the only ones she could rely on at the moment.

Why did everyone disperse as if nothing had happened?!

His life is also his life!!

If complaints could be materialized, then Kirihara Akaya would definitely have words popping out of his entire body.

——Please, please pay some attention to him!!

The U17 elimination group at the bottom seemed to be scattered and walking their own way, but in fact they were trying to collect information about the Ghost Lord and figure out how to defeat this BOSS.

Everyone has witnessed the power of Sanada's Wind, Forest, Fire, and Thunder, but such an attack completely missed when facing the Ghost Lord.

Could it be that this guy...is not susceptible to physical attacks at all?

But if that's the case, how can we play?!

Should I use my mind waves or draw a circle to curse this guy...

Reflexively, the several school members, feeling somewhat helpless about the current situation, looked towards the Rikkai University Vice President, Genichirō Sanada, who held the final say.

Members of several schools who knew the inside story, including the high school students from the U17 elimination group, all turned their gazes to the previously quiet corner...

Wait, where's the cat?!

Looking around, the black-haired boy who had just been standing there was now nowhere to be seen.

My heart skipped a beat, not because I was worried about the cat's safety,

Judging from the cat’s disappearance before, as long as the cat is out of sight, something big is bound to happen next!

Kirihara Akaya was still floating in the sky, and the U17 on the ground were still racking their brains to find a way to break the deadlock. At the same time, Jibaimao disappeared, and it seemed that he was going to challenge them.

All of a sudden, my heart sank.

"...What should we do? Should we...still fight?" Jack Sangyuan said with difficulty.

“…”

"……beat."

Genichirō Sanada is concise and to the point.

After all, Kirihara Akaya is still hanging in the sky, so if you can save as many people as possible, then save them.

Now they can only be thankful that they won’t really die, or go through the cycle of life and death... Anyway, not really dying is a blessing enough!

Forcing themselves to comfort themselves, the crowd took out their balls and rackets again and decided to win by numbers.

I looked up with such determination——

"Hey, where's that kelp head that was crying so loudly?"

“…”

“…”

They looked at each other, in a trance, their hearts skipped a beat, and they spoke at the same time.

"--broken!!"

Kirihara Akaya: Swept Away by the Ghost Lord. At this moment, he was completely bewildered, surprised, dazed, and even doubting his life.

Eh... so ghosts can actually carry people through walls?

Kirihara Akaya experienced being carried through a wall by a ghost for the first time in his life. Although he was afraid, the novelty and excitement that surged overwhelmed him temporarily.

I even vaguely want to try it again.

There aren't many chances to get through a wall—try it again! Try it again!!

“…Wuwuwuwu…”

“…SHI…SHI…”

A low whimper was suddenly carried by the sharp wind. The kelp head, who was immersed in excitement in the last second, became nervous the next second.

The whole person looked around nervously, it was pitch black, visibility was extremely low,

The U17 elimination group members, led by Sanada, were nowhere to be found. Now he was the only one left...

Sensing a slight tremor, Kirihara Akaya was confused and slowly looked up according to his intuition.

He took a closer look and saw that the Ghost Lord holding him in his mouth was... shaking too!? ! !

Isn't that right?! You're a ghost, how can you be scared?!

Kirihara Aka was also full of questions. The Ghost Lord not only trembled, but also opened his mouth wide and threw him down on the spot.

The moment it landed, there was a slight "puff" sound, and the fear of the Ghost Lord in Kirihara Akaya's heart was completely dispelled.

Now I even looked at it with a bit of annoyance, and said "coward" in my heart.

The 'coward' Ghost Lord pushed Kirihara Akaya to the front, and he had to face the source of the sound.

The strange thing was that the sound suddenly stopped after Kirihara Akaya landed, as if observing consciously.

The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move the enemy.

Kirihara Akaya clenched the racket in his hand, took out the mineral balls that were pounding in his pocket, and waited for the enemy to come - and then he would hit him with three mineral balls in a row!

All fears come from insufficient firepower. If a mineral ball can't solve the problem, then use tennis ball bullets! !

His palms fumbled with the mineral ball in his pocket and the only remaining tennis ball, and Kirihara Akaya approached with the racket.

In a trance, a faint gaze from within the darkness was staring at him...

——Now!!

The moment he felt the closest breath in the darkness, Kirihara Akaya raised his racket with a swish, reached out to take out the mineral ball, and was about to serve it—

There were two crisp "clang" sounds, and the touch felt subtly wrong.

Kirihara Akaya was stunned, and the opponent was also stunned. Both sides missed the best opportunity to serve.

“This touch…”

Kirihara Akaya cautiously probed: "...A secret code?"

“…”

The person on the other end was clearly choking up, and after a long pause, he managed to speak with difficulty, "...Since when did there become such a thing as a secret code?"

The Ghost Lord leaned on his back and slowly approached. The pearly white luster seeped in bit by bit, slowly illuminating the faint distance in front of his eyes like a night pearl.

Kirihara Akaya finally managed to meet the gaze of the person who was just a breath away.

Slanted eyes, a headband, a familiar face, and—the same racket in hand!!

Kirihara Akaya was overjoyed: "--It's you!! From Seigaku--"

He was overjoyed, and the other party was shocked.

The face of Rikkai University that he had seen several times finally appeared in his mind. Kaidou Xun was about to relax, but the next second,

Behind one face, there is an even more terrifying and hideous ghost face——!

Ghost? ?

——No, why did this guy bring something like this?!

With a "pop", the frightened Kaidou Xun's heart stopped beating.

Kirihara Akari thought for a long time before he finally found this guy's name from his memory. Now, he was wagging his tail and excitedly saying, "Kaidou... Kaidou Kaoru, right?" as if he had met an old friend in a foreign land.

"Oh my god—why did you suddenly fall down?!!!"

The bewildered Kelp Head was in a panic, and had forgotten the killer weapon following behind him.

After barely dragging Kaidou Xun to his feet, he muttered to himself, "Really? Even if you see how relieved I am, you can't just fall asleep and leave me awake alone."

"The guys from Seigaku are really not reliable at all... Rikkai University's people are better..."

As he spoke, Kelp Head began to miss the people of Rikkai University far away. He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

"Sigh—I don't know if Kei is doing well now, or if he's…"

"Yo."

There was a loud bang in the sky, and the player made a brilliant appearance.

Kirihara Akaya: “?”

Unprepared, it was so sudden, so surprising,

The Chicken Cat descended from the sky neatly and landed in front of the two people and the ghost smoothly.

While cutting the map, I checked the progress of the exercises on both sides.

After discovering that the boss of this floor, the Ghost Monarch, grabbed the kelp head NPC and turned around and ran away, the player followed silently.

What are you running for? Upgrade materials - back to the players, go level up the NPCs! !

In response to the kelp head's touching, surprise, and starry eyes, he gave a small piece of trash [chewy biscuits]. The player switched back to the map again and marked the location of the NPC group.

With one hand, he grabbed the [Ghost Lord] who was showing off his might just ten minutes ago like a little chicken, and with the other hand, he picked up the unconscious Kaidou Kaoru and carried him on his shoulder.

There is also a kelp head NPC, the player slowly turns his head,

Kirihara Akaya: (Crunch, crunch) (Crunch, crunch)

Noticing the gaze, he blinked his big, innocent eyes and asked:

"...Hey, what's wrong, Kei?"

He looked up at the hundreds of red hearts that were almost bursting at the seams.

Look at the duck on the left hand... Ghost Monarch, and a passerby NPC on the right hand.

The player silently clapped his hands in his heart.

Well, it’s decided.

"——It's too late, get in the car quickly."

“Eh, eh eh eh…are we really going to do this!?! I’m not ready yet ahhhhhhhh!!!”

There was a loud bang, a huge explosion. The U17 elimination group, who were still cautiously exploring the unknown area, pricked up their ears.

In a silent environment, any movement will be magnified to an incomparable degree, worthy of everyone's close attention.

“…What’s that sound?”

"It looked like an explosion... Not sure? Could someone on this floor have used a bomb ball?"

"But who else has the bomb ball now..."

Unanimously, a name popped up in everyone's mind.

Kei Yagi,

If it was him...it wouldn't be surprising no matter how many bomb balls he took out.

Dispel all thoughts from your mind and focus on the present moment.

Everyone held their breath and listened attentively. The sound gradually became muffled and approached, getting closer and closer - it was almost there!

Sanada Genichirō, who remained silent and motionless, suddenly turned his head and stared straight in a certain direction—

The sound is there, about to come out -

“BOOM ...

There was a huge explosion that shook the entire mine.

The people standing on the ground lost their balance, and the huge explosion made their eardrums almost explode.

Flying rocks and broken tiles flew everywhere, and the members of the elimination group who were dodging left and right with great difficulty to save their lives almost used all their strength to avoid being taken away by the attack.

After finally standing steady, I looked up and saw——

Wow! Drift——!

Looking around, I saw the gigantic Ghost Monarch had transformed into his own mount, with a chicken-like cat, a kelp-like head, and a poisonous...

“——Venomous Snake!!!”

Momoshiro Takeshi almost shouted out loudly, recognizing Kaidou Kaoru's stylish headband at a glance.

"Venomous snake...?"

"So, it's not that venomous snake, but this one?"

Excited as he was, Taocheng Wu took the time to look back blankly, "Otherwise... which venomous snake is it?"

“…”

“…”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!"

A small episode, at this moment more people are paying attention to the sky——

For Rikkai University, it's common for a cat to ride a horse, a donkey, a person, a deep-sea whale shark, or even the president of Rikkai University. But now, he's just riding a ghost.

Similarly, the high school students from Seigaku, Hyotei, Fudomine, Shitenhoji, and the U17 elimination group were puzzled by the way they had been treated like a cat in a box for days, but after thinking about it,

It's all that Yagi Kei/head coach - nothing he does seems strange. After all, exchanging normal human behavior, brain, etc. for an unstoppable invincibility seems quite worthwhile...

Higa Junior High School, Yamabuki, St. Rudolph's and other schools, which had only come into contact with Jibaimao in the past few days, were watching this scene unfold before their eyes.

I can't help but doubt the worldview that has been broken to the point where it can't be broken anymore. Now it feels like the whole world has been broken into pieces and then forcibly put together again.

The worldview seems to be the same, but the person seems to be no longer the same...

Chigoku Kiyosumi tried hard to put on his signature positive and sunny smile, although at the moment it looked more like a forced and bitter support. He tilted his head slightly and slowly spoke to his good teammate, Jin Akutsu.

"Although, but... Akutsu, are you sure you want to..."

He frowned and tightened his brows, searching and searching through a bunch of adjectives, and finally settled on one.

"Superman, yes, Superman,"

He asked with great affection and sincerity, "Do you want revenge on this Superman?"

Akutsu Jin: “…”

He turned his head slowly, without saying a word, just watching with his eyes hanging down.

Superman is currently spinning upside down 360 degrees in the sky, drifting non-stop—

Then followed by a 'Ah ...

As for the other one, it was hard to tell whether he was alive or asleep.

"...What is that? Their spoils?"

"I don't know, I don't know... But at least I'm alive, right? Being alive... is a good thing, right?"

“…”

It is really a good thing to live.

With a set of three consecutive rotation and drifting moves, the player drives the Ghost Lord directly in front of the NPCs.

Sanada Genichirō watched expressionlessly as he dropped a Kirihara Akaya, a Kaidou Kaoru, and a Ghost Lord—

Wait... Ghost Monarch? What does abandoning him now mean...

"Fight."

The story of breaking a cat into pieces was concise and clear. After the task was completed, he left with a wave of his hand, hiding his achievements and fame.

The players have already put the food in front of their mouths, but these NPCs still don't eat it - then it would be a real waste of the players' good intentions.

The Jibai Cat turned around and walked away, and the U17 eliminated group members and the Ghost Monarch were left staring at each other.

Eh, eh...should I fight the Ghost Lord/them?

“W-Want to fight…?”

Someone trembled and said,

There is no other reason. After all, this Ghost Lord is a huge BOSS.

Although he is more timid than a mouse under the claws of a cat, but when he faces the U17 team, he is simply showing his might!

"If you don't fight, do you want to be blown up later..."

“…”

"Can you tell me the truth? I don't really want to..."

"——It's not that good! Let's go!!!"

Everyone in the U17 elimination group suddenly picked up their rackets and started to play big, and the corresponding Ghost Lord also swooped down with a howl.

For a while, one side gained strength while the other lost, and the game entered an extended period, with both sides evenly matched.

The player observed the NPCs' five-dimensional images. With a "ding" sound, a message window popped up with the latest reminder.

I clicked on it and saw that it was a notice for the pitch ranking match at the U17 training base.

After only half a day, the U17 training base field ranking battle forces can be described as a major reshuffle,

Players are ranked from top to bottom——

[U17 training camp base stay-at-home group current field ranking results:]

[Pitch No. 1: Anonymous]

【Pitch No. 2: Tokugawa Kazuya】

【Pitch No. 3: Irie Kanata】

[Pitch 4: Right end Eitaro, Yamato Yudai]

【Pitch No. 5: Oni Jujiro】

[Pitch No. 6: Yukimura Seiichi, Tezuka Kunimitsu, Atobe Keigo, Shiraishi Kuranosuke]

[Pitch No. 7: Tachibana Yoshihei, Kite Nagashiro, Chitose Chisato]

【……】

At a glance, the junior high school students who have basically reached the level of hitting eight balls simultaneously have successfully entered the first seven courts.

[Ding!]

【Pitch 6 is challenging Pitch 5! 】

[Pitch 6, Yukimura Seiichi is challenging Pitch 5, Oni Jujiro! ]

Glancing at the name of the special NPC, the player suddenly perked up.

The progress is faster than players imagined, U17 training camp base,

While paying special attention to the battle results, he cut out the page and turned to look at the eliminated group in the underground mine who were still beating up the Ghost Lord.

In contrast, the progress suddenly slowed down a lot.

The player pondered and came up with an answer. If that's the case, then speed up -!

Once again, the assembly line was formed. The players with insufficient strength cultivated the ore balls, while the players with sufficient strength swung their rackets to attack the ghost monarch floating in the air.

After missing dozens of shots at the beginning, the elimination group members thought about it while playing, and finally realized that only by accurately focusing on the core in the center of the Ghost Lord's huge body could they cause damage.

But the Ghost Monarch will not stay in one area as a target, everyone has to grasp it accurately and continuously improve the accuracy and control of their serve.

Ten goals, a hundred goals, a thousand goals... the number of goals continued to rise, and vaguely, all the players involved in the attack gradually gained a clearer grasp of the ball control.

From the player's perspective, the NPCs were chipping away at the BOSS's health bar bit by bit, like scraping sha. Finally, after a long time, the Ghost Lord was completely depleted of his life force and died on the spot.

Seeing the huge ghost monarch suddenly disintegrate and dissipate into milky white mist—

Everyone in the elimination group couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's finally over, haha... I almost thought it would go on forever..."

"We are truly amazing! We are truly incredible. We were able to defeat such a massive boss..."

"Yeah, yeah, after this time, I can finally have a good rest..."

Before the words were spoken, the next second,

Everything went dark before their eyes, and the bewildered crowd did not understand what was happening. However, the first thing that came to mind was a trembling sentence:

"Are they...finally, blind now?"

The player directly used the cheat item [ladder] and took the NPCs to the next level with one click.

Hurry up and catch up on the progress, the U17 training camp has achieved encouraging results. Players are personally supervising here, so you must not fall behind!

After a moment of darkness, what burst forth before my eyes once more was—a blaze that shot up into the sky!!

Unprepared, everyone who was still wondering if they were blind and hesitating whether to drink Gui Juice to recover, their eyes suddenly turned red and bright.

The scorching heat hit me in the face, almost burning me dry. The heat occasionally sprayed out a few sparks, catching me off guard and descending in front of me.

Stunned, staring blankly at what was before him,

An endless red ocean... No, this isn't an ocean at all, this is clearly magma!!!

The hot, bright red, even scorching hot to the point of being black, magma flowed, and everyone was so crowded that they could barely stand on the pumice slabs, not daring to move an inch.

However, the occasional sparks from the bubbles created by the high temperature in the magma can kill half of the NPC's health in one go.

Just a nervous, careless hand slip, and dropped a mineral ball on the spot.

Everyone watched helplessly as the ore ball was swallowed up by the magma as soon as it fell in.

If stones are like this, then they...

"...Now I think being blind is good, really..."

"Can we really survive here..."

"Well, I think I forgot to take something. Is it still possible to go back now--"

The cat stood in front of people calmly.

“…”

"Haha, I was just joking. Look at you...how could you take it so seriously? Now that you're here, there's no reason to go back, right? Hahahaha...wuwuwu..."

Slime, Skeleton, Ghost, now it's all right, the illustrations are unlocked again, this time the entire environment has changed as well.

Magma layer——!

Only when you lose something do you know how to cherish it. Now everyone wants to reach out to the mineral layer that they just didn't cherish and shout, "Come back quickly - this place is too horrible and we can't accept it!"

“Wait—that’s it!!”

Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Ichiji Yuji spoke, and as soon as he spoke, everyone looked over.

Where the outstretched hand was pointing, there was a red figure, running wildly, shouting, venting his anger—

“That’s…!!”

Very personal, red-haired, one-eyed dragon, with a very typical catchphrase,

“——Follow my pace!!!”

"——It's Kamio Akira of Fudo Peak!!" Momoshiro Takeshi exclaimed.

"Why is he here?!"

"...Could it be that they accidentally got lost earlier and went down to this floor directly?!!"

Suddenly, everyone was silent.

Is my luck so bad... I jumped directly into the lava layer or something.

"No, what is he doing now!?!"

Someone who was paying close attention to his condition was startled and looked over—

At this moment, Kamio Akira is jumping back and forth on two pumice slabs above the lava, one foot left and one foot right. The rhythm is so clear that even with the addition of BGM, it can become one of the top ten ghost videos on Tiktok!

With his left fist clenched and banged against the palm of his right hand, Kirihara Akaya decisively said, "Is he putting out the fire by jumping left and right quickly?!"

“…”

"Could he be Sakamoto?"

"No, I'm missing the point! Who can destroy this amount of lava by jumping left and right?!"

"...Oh, so much,"

"Kyu?"

“…”

“…”

Suddenly, everyone looked at Kirihara Akaya, who was actually thinking and answering.

Isn't this the time to talk about this? ! ! Does anyone care about Kamio Akira's life or death? !

When everyone saw Kamio Akira, Kamio Akira, who was running around and struggling to survive, also noticed the U17 people who had arrived.

“——!!”

For a moment, although no one spoke, everyone could clearly sense the intense gaze coming from Kamio Akira's direction.

It was like a million-volt flashlight, attacking straight at you with full presence.

Everyone in the U17 elimination group felt a little uneasy for some reason.

"Um, do I really have to meet his eyes now?"

"...It's better not to. I have a bad feeling..."

"What bad feeling?"

Ibu Shinji, not paying any attention at all, turned his head and said casually,

"Ah, Kamio,"

Ibu Shinji raised his hand coldly and shook it twice like noodles, "We are here."

Everyone in the U17 elimination group: "..."

“——!!!!”

"What the hell is this guy doing?!!"

“——Ahhhhhh, stop him! Aaaaaaaahhh!!!”

In just a moment, after receiving the signal, Kamio Akira transformed into a Super Saiyan.

"Huhuhuhuhu——" a burst of rapid impact sound, shouting "Follow my rhythm!!!"

The red-haired figure rushed towards them with a completely frenzied look, his eyes practically glowing red—!!

Sprint is fine,

No, why is this guy carrying a bunch of red slimes behind him?!? !

It is elastic, red, and has thorns.

The silent U17 members watched the lava slime jumping and hitting the hot magma.

Looking at Kamio Akira, who was charging at him like a mad buffalo, everything in front of him was black, black, black.

Compared to before, now...what kind of damn torture is this!? ! !
