"Lord Abe Akahi, we received news earlier that Ikuto Koga who participated in the Holy Warrior Festival has died for the empire."

Abe Akahi, who was sitting on the emperor's throne, had no change in his expression. He was just listening to the report of his right-hand man, Seijuro Yagyu. And Seijuro Yagyu was the 6-year-older brother of the current Shomu Festival contestant Eman Yagyu. If it weren't for

Because he is Abe Akashi's right-hand man, Abe Akashi will definitely use his ability to reduce Yagyu Seijuro's age to 16 years old and then let him participate in the Holy Warrior Festival.

"Ikuto Koga finally met Lu Oseles. With his little strength, he was no match. Now that he has sacrificed his life for the empire, he has died a worthy death."

"Your Majesty, what you said is correct, but in this case... our probability of winning will be greatly reduced."

"You are right. Huajingyuan Qinyin was originally sent to participate in the competition just to treat a few of them. But now that she has met Lu Osiris, I am afraid that she will no longer obey my orders.

I will no longer serve the empire, let alone return to the Empire of the Rising Sun."

"Sir, wouldn't it be a pity if that's the case? That thing is still in the hands of Kotone of Kakyoin. Wouldn't it be a pity if it couldn't be recycled?"

"It won't be a pity at all. If we can win the Holy Warrior Festival, that artifact will be just like a stone by the river to us. By then... won't we be able to plunder all the artifacts around the world at will?

"

"My lord is wise."

For Abe Akahi, the death of Koga Ikuto will not have a big impact on the future at all, because for Abe Akahi, among the people he sent, Kakyoin Kotone and Izumi Soze Nanase were originally chosen by him.

Those who were discarded, the remaining Kurokawa Hōyao, Yagyu Inman and Abe Hoshitoshi are the most powerful members of the "Eternal Rising Sun" team.

"Seijuro, listen carefully. Not long ago, I gave an order to Xingchen and Kurokawa Huiyao. Let them kill all the remaining powerful contestants in the Holy Warrior Festival, leaving only

Players who are weaker than them, in this way, they can easily win in the finals, and the Empire of the Rising Sun can conquer the world without spending a single soldier."

"Sir...are you planning to let the two of them...?"

As Abe's right-hand man, Yagyu Seijuro naturally knew the meaning of Abe's words, which also made Yagyu Seijuro even more afraid of Abe.

"After liberating their magic, they will go berserk, so many people will die, so I also told Xingchen

He is not allowed to use this magic, but this time the situation is special, so I will allow him to use this magic. In conclusion, his magic is more powerful than anyone else, and with the magic of Kurokawa Huoyao to cooperate with him,

The two of them can be said to be invincible."

Seijuro Yagyu also agrees with what Abe Akashi said. Even if he wants to deal with these two people alone, he only has a 1/2 chance of winning. If he fights alone, no one can defeat these two people.

The two join forces.

Fighting alone, it is absolutely impossible to defeat Abe Xingchen and Kurokawa Huoyao, but if it is a one-on-one situation, it is equally impossible to defeat them, because as long as they are human beings, they will inevitably fight.

A habit will appear, and as long as this habit appears, they will definitely win.

Return to the Island of Death, where the Holy Warrior Festival is held.

"Liu, what happened to that fog just now?"

"I don't know either. We finally gathered so many people and were able to cooperate, but I didn't expect that the fog would scatter us all at once."

"It doesn't feel like a coincidence."

Liu, the reunited Wendy and Leo gathered around the campfire to talk. It was already approaching night, and all the contestants who had not come into contact with those difficult enemies were now resting like Liu and them, but who

Little did he know that this third night would become a tragic night.

"Okay, I made some food, let's eat."

Several things came from Liu Duan. After seeing what came up from Liu Duan, both Wendy and Leo showed expressions of despair.

——Is this really food!?

Wendy and Leo had asked this question in their hearts countless times after the food was served. Faced with the things on the plate in front of them, they felt shuddering again. The fear was not inferior at all.

Yu wants to face the Evil Star Warriors.

"A nice bowl of soup, why does it look purple? And there are these bubbles that keep popping up..."

"Is this burnt-looking object bread or meat?"

As for the main course, the object that was exiled on the plate looked like a small animal that had been crushed to death. Leo and Wendy were no longer too lazy to think about its true identity.

Eating this kind of food every day is a daily routine for them, so for them, what they want most is to eat three meals a day.

At least you can have something normal for meals.

Liu's cooking skills are as hopelessly bad as Selena's, and she is also self-aware, so even if the two of them say this in front of their faces, they won't care at all. However, it is not easy to really eat it.

matter.

However, when he was halfway through eating, Leo smelled a smell that didn't look like runny food. He put down the "food" and followed the smell to a place not far ahead. As a result, he

I saw several corpses that were covered with ulcers and looked horribly dead.

"It seems that there is not much time left before death, but how did it become like this?"

At this time, Leo noticed that there were many ulcerated areas on the body that were bleeding with a black, viscous liquid that was different from blood. It seemed to be poison. Could it be that someone had used some highly toxic magic?

Just when Leo was puzzled, Wendy and Liu had already rushed to his side. Leo turned around, but just as he turned around, he felt a strange sensation in his left hand.

It was extremely itchy. He raised his left hand and took a look. He found that many abscess-like things had appeared on his left hand at some point, and one of the abscesses leaked a thick black liquid after it ruptured. It was very smelly.

Smell, it's exactly the same thing as what was on the corpse just now.

"This...could it be said that I have been attacked by the enemy without knowing it?"

Although Leo didn't want to believe it, the possibility of this was very high. At this time, he thought that if Liu and Wendy came over now, there is a great possibility that they would be attacked as well, and they must not be allowed to get close to him.

.

"Flow, Wendy! Don't come here, there are enemies here, I've already been attacked!"

Liu and Wendy also heard Leo's advice and stopped. However, at this time, they felt that their necks seemed to be stung by something, causing a slight pain.

"What is it? Is it a bug?"

But in the next second, a large number of abscesses immediately appeared on Liu and Wendy's bodies, and their body temperatures began to drop sharply. In the end, they also fell to the ground. Leo persisted longer than them.

A few seconds later, he also fell to the ground.

Not long after they fell, Abe Xingchen and Kurokawa Kaoyao from the "Eternal Rising Sun" team suddenly appeared and looked at the three of them who fell on the ground with mocking eyes.
