Vampire castle, edge clearing.
The gust of wind from high above blew past, raising a hazy cloud of dust like mist.
In the sand and dust, Noah and Sixteen Nights were separated by a distance, facing each other.
Not far away, members of a group of "No Name" watched this scene, behaving differently.
"Why did it happen like this?" The Black Rabbit cried out dejectedly.
"Obviously they are all partners in the same community, why did it become like this?"
"You have said this sentence no less than ten times, Black Rabbit." Asuka said with some impatientness, as if he had seen everything.
"Even if they are partners in the same community, it is impossible to get along with each other peacefully. Even family members who are related by blood may hate each other, let alone companions?"
"... Something is wrong." Yao shook his head and denied Asuka's words.
"There was no contradiction between Noah and Sixteen Nights."
"Yes." Ren nodded repeatedly.
"It's just that Mr. Ikuyo's current state doesn't seem to be so good, that's why things have developed to this level."
"The unrelenting defeat was in the hands of Az Dakaha. For Sixteen Nights, who has always been invincible with his extremely powerful talents, it should have caused some impact, right?" Lei Tisia stared closely at the field ahead.
"For this, the master will agree to the challenge of Sixteen Nights hastily."
"After all, if that guy doesn't say anything, he must be worried for his companions, right?" Pest also looked at the two people in the court closely.
"My master is that kind of person."
"Then, what can the Black Rabbit do for Mr. Noah and Mr. Sixteen Nights?" Black Rabbit said with great worry.
"I really can't think of it."
"If you can't think of it, don't think about it." Leticia looked at the black rabbit and persuaded me with all my heart.
"As a descendant of the Moon Rabbit clan who can sacrifice for others, I can understand your spirit of wanting to contribute to others, but it is always bad to over-contribute. Black Rabbit, this time, leave it to the master."
"Yes." Ren cast his gaze straight on Noah.
"I believe that Mr. Noah must have his own ideas."
Everyone nodded their heads and said nothing more. They all looked at the field and waited for the results to appear.
Sixteen nights today did not wear the student uniform of the past.
Because that student uniform was completely destroyed in the battle with Az Dakaha.
Therefore, the current Sixteen Nights is not wearing a student uniform, but an ordinary black T-shirt and jeans, with headphones on the ears as before.
After turning his arms, clenching his fists, and after confirming his physical condition, Ikuya nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good, the physical condition has not declined, and all the injuries have been recovered. Now, I should be able to show 100% strength without any worries?"
Under the treatment with the gift of healing, the injuries suffered by Izayoi in the battle with Az Dakaha have long been restored, but he has not been awake.
After a month and a half, Sixteen Nights had already recovered to a complete state.
This made Sixteen Nights's face the arrogant and unruly smile that appeared in the past.
"In this way, you can have a good fight."
"I just woke up and couldn't wait to find someone to fight. To be honest, that is not very agreeable, but when you think about it, it is too much of your style, so I am not unacceptable." Ya raised his eyes and stared at Shiliuya.
"Although I can guess why you approached me more or less, let me ask a little bit, does it make sense to challenge me at this time?"
"It's very meaningful." Sixteen nights said this with a natural attitude.
"Brother, in fact, at the beginning, I was very uncomfortable with the fact that those class dominators gathered so many people to fight the demon king."
Noah's brows suddenly raised slightly, but he didn't say anything, quietly listening to Izayoi's words.
"In the beginning, I heard that the other party is the real demon king, not the demon king who abused the authority of the organizer to degenerate. Do you know how excited I am?" Ikuya banged his fist fiercely.
"I have always wanted to fight the Demon King since I came to the Hakata Garden, and defeat the Demon King. This kind of thing really makes me feel excited. In fact, after trying it, I feel quite satisfied."
At the time of the Fire Dragon's Birth Ceremony, Ikuyo surrendered Pest to Noah, and did not confront the Demon King.
However, after that, Sixteen Nights, Asuka, Yao, Black Rabbit and Ren and the group received an invitation letter from "Dragon Horn, Eagle, Lion" and went to the southern district to participate in the harvest festival.
At that time, it was the time when the Demon Kings Alliance launched a general attack on the three major areas of East, South, and North at the same time.
"In the Southern District, I met the Demon King, and there are two." Shizuya smiled happily.
"In terms of name, it seems to be called Glea and Aurora, right?"
"Oh?" Noah was a little surprised.
"So you met them?"
"What?" Sixteen nights was also a little surprised.
"Is that someone you know, brother?"
"It's just the level of acquaintance." Noah spread his hands.
"So, do they satisfy you?"
"Ah, it's really great, especially the Griffin Beast called Glea. I fought against him, and that battle was even better than the third-rate demon led by me and Loli. The battle is even more exciting." Sixteen Ye burst into laughter.
"So, brother, can you imagine how excited I am to hear that the demon king of that level is actually a fake in a certain sense, and that lizard is the real demon king?"
Speaking of this, Sixteen Nights suddenly changed his voice.
"Under such circumstances, Bai Yasha, Sarah, and Sandra were all so serious that they made people give up heads-up, saying that I would definitely not be able to beat that guy. I should cooperate with others and fight together. I was really upset. , It’s really uncomfortable to the extreme."
Noah couldn't help but laughed bitterly.
Well, with Ikuyo's character, it would be quite unpleasant to encounter such a thing, right
"However, I have not been ignorant of exaggerating to ignore everyone's opinions. Since even the Shiroyasha who has returned the godhead has to play in person, and even have to join hands with others, if I insist on fighting alone, I will not be stupid, but stupid. Noah." Sixteen nights glanced at Noah.
"What's more, I later received the news that you had an accident, little brother, even if I was upset, I will bear it."
In other words, after receiving the news of Noah's accident, Izayoi's attitude towards the incident changed.
From the very beginning, I simply wanted to challenge the devil, and became an enemy who had to shoulder a mission to fight and kill his companions.
"Even if it was me, I wouldn't be stunned to issue a pure challenge to the person who killed the companion." Shizuya looked directly at Noah.
"So, I decided at that time, brother, if you really die in the hands of that guy, then I will avenge your grievances!"
Noah was silent.
"As a result, as you know, I was defeated in a mess." Sixteen nights said something like a self-deprecating one.
“If it’s just a challenge to defeat, it’s also unwilling to be reconciled, but I still don’t want to deny it, but with the hatred of my companions on my back, I was defeated in a mess. Az Dakaha used absolute Power tells me that I am not even qualified to avenge my companions."
This is the reason why I've been in a strange state after I woke up.
Although it cannot be said to be a decadent period, this young man who has always relied on high-level strength to pass the test, for the first time under the circumstance of carrying out something other than pure play, was beaten decently.
In this way, even those who fight with iron will be affected, right
What's more, a person like Ikuyo with extreme confidence in himself
Noah had long guessed that Sixteen Nights must have been lost to Az Dakaha. His self-confidence was frustrated and his state would become a little strange.
But Noah didn't expect that the reason that caused Sixteen Nights to be hit would actually have its own factors in it.
"... Then?" Noah sighed.
"Is there any special reason to challenge me as soon as I wake up?"
"The reason, there must be some." Sixteen nights said bluntly.
"I want to complain to you about the consequences of missing my whereabouts, and I want to verify my abilities, and the most important thing is to fight against opponents at the same level as that lizard. What can I do? degree."
With that said, Izayoi looked straight at Noah.
"I want to confirm this."
