The words of the leader of the Ghost Kingdom squad left everyone stunned.
I don't know what suddenly got into him, but as soon as he arrived at the final meeting point, he started making a scene.
Is he sick?
This idea came to everyone's mind.
Even Ye Gubai, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened them in confusion.
"I'm talking to you. Stand up."
Captain Itō Toshi, the captain of the Ghost Kingdom, pointed his finger at Ye Gubai.
Seeing this, everyone finally realized that he was looking for trouble.
Moreover, the person causing trouble was Ye Gubai, the most powerful person in the group.
Arthur, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
His laughter caught the attention of Itō Toshi.
Realizing that Itōri seemed to be trying to shift the blame to him, Arthur was startled and quickly explained, "It's nothing, I was just thinking of something fun, you continue."
Seeing Arthur's sincere apology, Itō Toshi decided not to pursue the matter further.
He preferred Ye Gubai, who treated him well, to Ye Gubai who ignored him with his eyes closed when he arrived.
At least other people would glance at him, unlike Ye Gubai, who is so pretentious that he doesn't even look at him.
"Are you talking about me?" Ye Gubai was both amused and exasperated.
He's already being kind by not causing trouble for others, and now someone actually dares to mess with him?
Is there something wrong with your brain?
However, looking at Ito Toshi's face covered in patterns, Ye Gubai didn't think the other party was particularly smart.
"Can't you understand human language? Stand up! I'm saying this one last time!" Ito Toshi shouted angrily.
"Hahaha, Ye, I never expected you to encounter something like this." Arthur burst into laughter.
He was happy to see Ye Gubai being harassed.
Hearing Arthur's laughter, Ye Gubai sighed helplessly, then said to Ito Toshi.
"If you have nothing to do, just stay here and recharge."
"I don't really want to talk to you, okay?"
Ye Gubai's words did not have a comforting effect; instead, they further provoked Ito Toshi.
He clapped his hands together and started fighting.
"Puppet Mastery - Zhen!"
When Ito Riki made his move, he used his most proficient control skills.
This skill can summon and control the puppet Zhen, which has both offensive and defensive effects.
He must have the ability to make it to the third round.
At his summons, Puppet Zhen emerged from the void.
Its shape resembles a human, but it looks rather jarring.
The decaying puppet's body resembled a skeleton that had been submerged in water for years.
The face, including the eyes and nose, is empty and nowhere to be seen.
With the appearance of Puppet Jeanne, the surrounding temperature dropped by several degrees.
It seems to also have the effect of changing the ambient temperature.
“If you apologize now, kneel down and kowtow to me, it might still be time to quell my anger.” Ito Toshi stared fiercely at Ye Gubai.
Because of his long-term sacrifices to evil gods, his brainstem was somewhat damaged.
Therefore, once he gets angry, the consequences will be severe, often leading to a fight to the death.
"What a madman." Ye Gubai slowly stood up: "Since you are so eager to die, then I will send you on your way."
They are now the next round's qualifiers, so normally there's no need for them to fight each other.
Furthermore, the rules state that serious attacks will result in point deductions.
If a death occurs, 20 points will be deducted.
However, for Ye Gubai, 20 points didn't matter.
Anyway, he has a lot of points now, enough for him to spend some to clean up the trouble.
There is now an hour and a half until the next round of combat.
If he cannot properly recover his mental strength, it will have some impact on him.
Therefore, getting rid of Itō Toshi is what he needs to do now.
"Give me a ride? You think you can?"
Ito Toshi laughed out loud. He had led his team into hiding as soon as the competition in Zone 3 had begun.
Protected by the ghostly figure, he completely avoided the battle and remained in peak condition.
Right now, Ye Gubai saying he'd give him a ride is nothing short of a joke.
Even he himself was afraid of him when he was at his peak.
"Please kill me!" Itō Toshi sneered, continuing to unleash his signature technique: "Ghostly Protection!"
With a leap, he disappeared into the shadow of the puppet Zhen, vanishing without a trace.
This amazing scene surprised Ye Gubai, who exclaimed, "This actually works?"
"Hahaha, I'm immune to all harm now that I'm hiding in the shadows." Itō Toshi laughed triumphantly.
His puppetry and ghost techniques work together to create this unique effect.
There's no way to deal with his real body unless you defeat his puppet.
Moreover, he has as many as 10 of these puppets in stock.
Each puppet is as powerful as an elite-level monster.
Although he can only summon and control one puppet at a time, he can link them seamlessly.
As soon as the puppet is destroyed, a second puppet is instantly summoned to replace it.
Thus, he maintains his ghostly protection, truly hiding in the shadows and making himself untouchable by others.
For a normal professional, it would be extremely difficult to defeat ten elite-level monsters in a row.
At least 90% of people can't do it.
Therefore, Ito Toshi was confident enough to defeat the arrogant Ye Gubai.
Of the five teams currently present, he could cause a lot of trouble for most of them.
But by sheer coincidence, he ended up approaching Ye Gubai.
They found one of the few beings who could suppress him with a flick of their wrist.
"..."
Ye Gubai was speechless as he watched Ito Toshi shout.
If you can't hit Itō Toshi who's hiding in the shadows, then hit his puppet.
Ye Gubai waved his hand, and ten blood-red demonic swords shot out from the void.
From all directions and angles, the puppet Zhen's hiding space was sealed off.
Faced with this attack from which there was nowhere to hide, Itō Toshi laughed loudly.
"Hahaha, it's no use."
"Behold my special skill: Black Silk Barrier Protection."
Controlling the puppet Jeanne, Itō Riki unleashed defensive skills from the shadows.
Once controlled, the sparse hair on the puppet's head rapidly increased in number.
In just two seconds, it transformed into a large amount of black hair that flew around and formed a protective barrier around the body.
"My Black Silk Barrier can withstand 5000 points of attack damage," Ito Riku shouted from the shadows. "With such a powerful defense, how can you break through it!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong with the scene.
His confident black silk protective barrier crumbled like an egg being hit by a stone under the attack of the blood-red demonic sword.
His black silk protective barrier couldn't withstand the second crimson demonic sword explosion and shattered.
This left the unprotected puppet, Zhen, directly struck by the subsequent eight blood-red demonic swords.
"Boom boom boom~~~" A series of explosions rang out.
After eight consecutive explosions, the puppet Zhen's severed limbs were scattered all over the ground.
The puppet creation that Itō Toshi was so proud of was blasted into pieces.
