Chapter 169: Fog War (Part 2) is finally here! "...
"Kufufufufu..."
"Kufufufufu..."
"Is this... a man's voice?" Mammon, sensing something was wrong, took a few steps back.
"How dare you talk so arrogantly? You're obviously just a small gangster..." The strange laughter accompanied by the mist surrounded the entire basketball court. Mammon, who was still in doubt, was instantly knocked away by a huge force.
"Wow!" The player sat down again and calmed down completely - I was wondering why Reborn was so still as calm as a mountain, it turns out he has a trick up his sleeve.
At the spot where the purple-haired girl had fainted, after the fog had completely dissipated, a young man with indigo hair emerged. He had pale skin, delicate features, and a cynical yet cold and mocking smile on his lips.
"It's that guy..." With the help of Yamamoto Takeshi, Gokudera Hayato struggled to stand up.
"It's Rokudo Mukuro..., he's still alive..." Sawada Tsunayoshi murmured as he looked at the familiar figure.
"Six Paths...Horoscope?" The player looked at the strands of hair on the back of the boy's head, a little curious.
The hairstyle is exactly the same as that purple-haired girl's...
"Long time no see, I'm back." The young man known as Rokudo Mukuro stood up straight, slightly sideways, his distinctive red and blue eyes looking over. "From the end of samsara—"
"Wow, what an amazing line! I want to learn it too!" In the silence, the black-haired girl's voice was abrupt and obvious.
Rokudo Mukuro was obviously stunned. He looked towards the source of the sound and saw the black-haired girl clapping vigorously. The bright golden eyes looking at him were a little unfamiliar, but full of genuine appreciation.
"Aurora, isn't this focus a little bit wrong..." Sawada Tsunayoshi, who was still shocked by Rokudo Mukuro's appearance, couldn't help but slapped himself again.
"Kufufufu... Aurora, that name does sound familiar." Rokudo Mukuro raised an eyebrow, looking at those unusual eyes. "Your eyes seem to have something special about them, too."
Reborn frowned slightly, and his eyes hidden under the brim of his hat flashed with some thought.
What Rokudo Mukuro meant by this...had he ever seen Aurora?
"Judging from the color, yours is still cooler." The player who was looking at the indigo-haired boy naturally took in the entire pair of red and blue eyes.
Even players have to admit that this boy who suddenly appears in front of them but is actually an illusion attached to a person, not only has handsome lines, but even his eyes are very cool!
Player: ...Damn it, I actually lost at this...
"Rokudo Mukuro... I'm somewhat familiar with this name." Mammon shook his head, flew into the air, and began to recall the memories triggered by this name. "You were the one who escaped from the Avengers prison a month ago, right?"
"Wow, he even escaped from prison. That sounds even cooler," the player exclaimed.
"No way, again?" Sawada Tsunayoshi was shocked.
"Is this the second jailbreak? Wow!" The player was very excited and must make friends with such a person.
"Good children, don't learn this, Aurora." Reborn raised his head and looked at the black-haired girl who was about to make a move with an oppressive look, deciding to nip her idea in the bud.
Forget about other prisons, but the one connected to Rokudo Mukuro is the Avengers Prison, and those guys are not easy to deal with...
"Absolutely not allowed." The black-haired boy said this, and the Len in his hand turned into an extremely huge hammer - even bigger than the one he used to hit the player last time!
"...Oh." With a powerful threat right next to them, the player sat up straight and became extremely obedient in an instant.
Damn it, we women are full of integrity. We will act nicely when we should, and will never suffer a loss!
Just as the player and Reborn were exchanging glances, the battle between Rokudo Mukuro and Mammon on the field also got on track.
Mammon first froze Rokudo Mukuro and was about to smash his body with a hammer, but Rokudo Mukuro was not afraid. He used magic to transform himself into a lotus that was untainted by mud and broke through the ice, while tying Mammon up!
Mammon was not willing to be outdone, so he lit the pacifier of mist and cut the lotus stem in minutes, dividing it into several phantoms and attacking Rokudo Mukuro. Rokudo Mukuro seemed to have unique insights into physical techniques. Not only did he see through Mammon's true form in an instant, he also smashed the roll of paper behind him with a halberd!
It’s exciting, really exciting!
——The above is the heartfelt commentary from a player who was immune to illusions but who, after some adjustments, was able to see the entire scene.
However... it is hard to say whether these young men with painful expressions could hear clearly.
"Are you really okay, Tsunayoshi-kun?" The player poked the spiky-haired boy who was kneeling on all fours. He looked at the cold sweat pouring out of his head and his constantly trembling body with some concern. "Is it because the illusion is too contaminated?"
"But considering your talent, it seems that such a serious situation shouldn't occur?"
A strong sixth sense should be more effective against illusions, right? Why does it seem a little different with Sawada Tsunayoshi?
"Would you like a bowl of bone skin soup?" The player brought out a bowl of steaming purple soup and handed it over.
"No, I'm fine, I just..." Sawada Tsunayoshi covered his head and quickly rejected the black-haired girl's kindness. After a long time, he spoke hesitantly, "I just saw some people."
The players who were waiting for him to say the second sentence sat quietly for a long time, only to find that his attention had already shifted to the field - it turned out that the fight between the two had reached its climax!
Well, if that's the case, then there's nothing we can do about it.
The player who could understand Sawada Tsunayoshi very well shrugged and looked at the basketball court - money versus reincarnation, who will win and who will lose?
The answer seems obvious.
"A pure sorcerer versus a sorcerer who also knows physical skills..."
"Really? I told you to let him learn some physical skills..." The player said this without realizing it as he watched Mammon, whose control over illusions was taken away, suffer the consequences and was defeated by the indigo-haired boy.
Afterwards, his attention was quickly drawn to Rokudo Mukuro's explanation.
Reborn and Colonello, who had long understood that the venomous snake could not die so easily, looked at each other in tacit understanding, and everything was said without words - Aurora's memory inevitably became loose after coming into contact with familiar people.
…
…
"Although you are so naive to still worry about the enemy at this time. But..."
"Don't worry, Sawada Tsunayoshi, the baby is not dead." Looking at the brown-haired boy who always spoke so naively that it surprised him, Rokudo Mukuro lowered his head and smiled, his eyes full of mockery seemed to also carry a hint of sincerity.
Rokudo Mukuro explained, "That Rainbow Child, from the very beginning, retained enough strength to escape. He's quite cautious in this regard."
For some reason, the player subconsciously nodded in deep agreement.
"It seems the ending is already decided, so Yamamoto Takeshi and I will leave first." After seeing Rokudo Mukuro combine the two Mist Rings into one, the player yawned, drank a big bowl of refreshing coffee - Reborn's Favorite Edition, and then rushed out of the basketball court with Yamamoto Takeshi, who was still standing there stupidly waiting for the follow-up development, ready to work overtime and start night training.
Anyway, someone will naturally tell us who will fight in the next battle, so we might as well seize the time to train!
"Ah, we have to hurry up." Yamamoto Takeshi waved at his worried friend and said with a smile.
The players and Takeshi Yamamoto who had already left the scene naturally did not see the subsequent implicit confrontation between the two sides.
————————
"Should I say you are worthy of being the most powerful Varian in the assassination team? Xanxus, the conspiracy you have laid out has reached a level that even makes me shudder."
The meaning of this sentence..., did Rokudo Mukuro realize something?
Reborn thought to himself.
Rokudo Mukuro, noticing the black-haired girl had quietly left, paused for a moment. He stared at the young man, who remained motionless in his chair despite having already lost three matches, with a sharp gaze. "Although I don't intend to interfere in your affairs, as it doesn't do me any good, please don't go too far..."
…
…
"Besides, you have to be careful. Among those who stand on Sawada Tsunayoshi's side, there is someone who can see through your conspiracy directly..." Looking at the different looks cast at him by the two sides, Rokudo Mukuro, who did not mind making the muddy water more chaotic, smiled meaningfully.
xanxus remained motionless, only looking up at Rokudo Mukuro and letting out a sneer.
On the other hand, Sawada Tsunayoshi was confused and had no idea what Rokudo Mukuro was talking about.
The pink-haired witnesses looked at each other and announced the final result.
"Xanxus holds one ring, and Sawada Tsunayoshi holds three. The battle for the rings will continue." The pink-haired women said in unison, "Tomorrow's match will be..."
"The battle for the Guardian of Flowing Cloud!"
"The rings on both sides are now three to one." Reborn looked at the young man across from him, who had opened his eyes at some point, and said in a cold tone, "Xanxus, if we win the next match again, the number of rings on both sides will be four to one."
"Even if there is no battle between the Rain Guardians and the Sky Chief, it will still be a victory for Tsuna and his team."
"Will you follow the agreement, admit your failure, and give up fighting for the position of heir?" Reborn asked.
"Voi—!" Squalo shouted, brandishing his sword, nearly forcing everyone to cover their ears. "How can you jump to conclusions about something that hasn't even happened yet? I'm still waiting to slay that swordsman!"
"If it's that guy..." Hayato Gokudera said with an awkward look on his face.
"If it's Senior Hibari..." Sawada Tsunayoshi's voice was full of trust in the Cloud Guardian who was about to join the battle.
Although the other party seems to completely deny this identity.
"Hehehe, these guys seem very confident in their Cloud Guardian." Bell smiled strangely, "But we have Gra Mosca on our side..."
"Hmph." Xanxus adjusted his posture and smiled. "Of course I will abide by the agreement. If I fail, I will naturally offer everything with both hands."
"Really? Then I'll just believe that you will do that." The other party's answer was flawless. In addition, there was no news from Sawada Iemitsu after he returned to Italy. Reborn could only choose to sit back and wait for further developments.
The situation was already so dangerous, so why could Xanxus remain so calm? What kind of hidden cards did he have in his hand...
"Reborn, Reborn?" The call from above his head awakened Reborn's thoughts.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"We plan to send Chrom to the hospital first." Sawada Tsunayoshi scratched his head and said, "Besides, it's getting late, so..."
"Really?" Reborn jumped onto the mobility scooter he had asked Johnny to develop for him and instantly walked in front of the hedgehog-haired boy. "Then you should go back quickly after you settle Chrom, so as not to worry Mom."
"Huh? Aren't you going back with me?" Sawada Tsunayoshi was a little confused.
"I still have some things I need to understand, so I won't go back with you for now." Reborn waved his hand and disappeared from Tsunayoshi Sawada's sight.
"Something happened...? What exactly happened?" Sawada Tsunayoshi shook his head and followed his companions.
