Can someone in MyGo stay in an adventure group forever?

Suddenly, Toyokawa Shoko delivered a whip kick, her slender calf sweeping straight towards Koshimura Sawa.

No, you promised you wouldn't hit people...

Koshimura's vision spun in the air, and he quickly reached out to support the bottom of the bento box.

He saw Toyokawa Shoko flick her toes, and the Nirvana Knife soared into the air, landing in her hand. Without the slightest hesitation, it stabbed fiercely towards the direction behind him!

A hand emerged from the shadows like a ghost, as if stepping directly from a two-dimensional plane into a three-dimensional space, and tightly gripped Toyokawa Shoko's wrist, preventing the blade from advancing any further.

"...So they actually found out about this." A deep male voice rang out.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure wearing a black trench coat and a hood slowly emerged from the shadows. He slightly raised his head, and two bright yellow lights suddenly lit up in the shadows under the hood, locking onto Toyokawa Shoko's pale face.

what?

Who is this? When did you arrive?

“No…” The deep voice held a hint of confusion, and a faint yellow light flickered beneath the hood, seemingly scrutinizing Toyokawa Shoko. “You shouldn’t be able to see me… unless…”

He paused for a moment, then his voice suddenly turned icy.

"Is it still that so-called 'Toyokawa blood'?"

Toyokawa Shoko ignored him, bit her lower lip, glanced back at Koshimura Sawa who had just struggled to his feet, and said anxiously, "Get out of here! Run!"

"At a time like this, do you still have the leisure to care about others?" The man let out a cold sneer.

The shadow flashed by, and his figure blurred abruptly as if erased by an eraser. The short knife that Xiangzi was holding had somehow mysteriously fallen into his palm. He turned the blade and stabbed it towards Toyokawa Xiangzi's chest!

"Unfortunately, you won't be leaving here today."

The chilling pronouncement and the sharp edge of death descended simultaneously, like the tolling of the Grim Reaper—

Koshimura Sawaichi swung his guitar case at the back of his head: "What are you babbling about, all that fancy stuff?"

The sound stopped abruptly, and his body fell straight forward, crashing to the ground with a thud, raising a small cloud of dust.

The dagger slipped weakly from his hand and fell to the ground with a clatter not far away.

The alley was deathly silent.

"Huh?" Toyokawa Shoko, who had just prepared for a desperate fight, was stunned and froze on the spot. She slowly turned her head to look in the direction where the boy was.

"Watch out." Yuecun Ze took a step to block her behind him and took out a guitar sword from his bag.

"—The sound of him landing was off."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-clad "corpse" lying face down on the ground began to melt away like an ink droplet in water, merging into the shadows on the ground.

Shadow... Dungeon Soft or Shadow Spell?

He tried hard to recall all the rulebooks he had read in his previous life.

Parallel Thinking was instantly activated, and the world seemed to be paused in his eyes. The peeling paint on the walls, the moss growing in the corners, the dust suspended in the air—all the information rushed into his mind like a raging torrent.

left!

"Qiang——!!!"

The guitar sword suddenly swung upwards, colliding with the metal rod that pierced out of the shadows, sparking a bright burst of light.

The piercing clang of metal shattered the deathly silence in an instant.

A tremendous force traveled along the sword, and Yuecunze felt a tearing pain in the web of his hand gripping the guitar hilt, his entire arm going numb.

A mace...?

Or... drumsticks?

"You actually managed to find out?" The man's figure reappeared from the shadows, his voice tinged with surprise.

“Sight can deceive you,” Koshimura Sawa said, a slight smile playing on his lips as he pointed to his ear with his index finger. “But hearing won’t.”

"I see." The man nodded, raising his double maces. "Then let's take care of you too—you idiot VIII48—."

There are no exaggerated lighting effects, and no flashy movements.

He bent down, lowered his shoulders, pushed off the ground, and moved forward. In an instant, his double maces covered several meters, bypassed the guitar sword, and pointed directly at Etsuyama's face.

So fast!

Koshimura's pupils suddenly contracted.

The opponent is far superior to me in strength, agility, and skill.

How to do?

[Parallel Thinking] is running at high speed, and countless phantom images seem to appear before my eyes, calculating the trajectory and result of the opponent's attack.

Countless dotted lines representing dodging or blocking extended, collided, and intertwined in my mind... and then, in the next microsecond, they broke and disappeared as if erased by an invisible eraser.

Ultimately, all the complex and varied deductions collapsed like the receding tide.

Can't avoid it.

Ultimately, only the simple conclusion remains: Ying〇YiQi④:WuJiuSiJiu@Ba.

Even when facing the Red Dragon, Koshimura had never felt so desperate.

Until the cold death was already imminent.

Therefore, the only option is to use a shield.

The metal mace slammed into the skull, accompanied by the cracking sound of bones breaking, and a mixture of red and white liquid and tiny bone fragments splattered out.

The thoughtful expression on Koshimura Sawa's face remained as he fell backward like a puppet with its strings cut.

Blood gushed out, silently spreading across the cold concrete beneath him, staining the ground a large patch of crimson.

Chapter Thirty-Two: I Decide the Time

"I see." The man nodded, raising his double maces. "Then I'll take care of you too."

There are no exaggerated lighting effects, and no flashy movements.

He bent down, lowered his shoulders, pushed off the ground, and moved forward. In an instant, his double maces covered several meters, bypassed the guitar sword, and pointed directly at Etsuyama's face.

So fast!

Koshimura's pupils suddenly contracted.

The opponent is far superior to me in strength, agility, and skill.

How to do?

Parallel thinking is operating at breakneck speed, and it seems as if...

Wait a minute!

Koshimura's thoughts suddenly came to a screeching halt!

Does this scene look familiar?

In the blink of an eye, the double maces were already in front of him.

at this time--

"【Human Freeze Technique】!"

The girl's urgent voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

Time seemed to have been paused.

The man in black's seemingly inevitable thrust, along with the deadly double maces in his hands, came to a halt less than ten centimeters from his face.

Koshimura suddenly leaped backward with a sword aura, looking in the direction from which the sound came, still shaken.

The moonlight poured down like water.

A slender figure stood at the boundary between light and shadow. Her long blue hair fluttered gently in the night breeze, like flowing tides.

The black Roland Fantom keyboard seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force, hovering in front of her.

Most striking of all are the small yet sharply defined, devilish black horns on her head, and her right hand, made of brass and intricately designed with mechanical features, extending from her sleeve.

Sarkaz—no, Tieflin?

"Luckily I made it in time..." Toyokawa Shoko gasped for breath, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead, as if something had suddenly drained her strength.

Without the slightest hesitation, his fingertips fell, and invisible magic began to condense, shape, and shoot out instantly!

[Burning rays]!

A beam of light containing terrifyingly high temperature instantly pierced the head of the man in black, who was immobilized and unable to move.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a dull thud, like a branding iron piercing butter. The hood was instantly vaporized, leaving a charred hole; two points of yellow light flickered briefly like candles in the wind before going out completely.

"To make a long story short," Toyokawa Shoko turned to look in the direction of Koshimura Sawa, her devilish tail twitching behind her. "I am a mage of the Time School. In the loop just now, you were killed twice in succession. The opponent should be a Ranger subclass, the Netherworld Explorer, whose main attribute is Strength. I don't have many uses left for my 'Interference' ability, so I must act quickly—"

"What a troublesome ability." A faint voice came from above, interrupting her warning.

The "corpse" once again merged into the shadows, vanishing into nothingness.

The two looked up abruptly and saw a figure standing quietly atop the streetlight at the alley entrance, hood pulled low, looking down at them.

"No wonder they asked for such a high price... Unfortunately, that's all they offered—"

A beam of eerie green light suddenly struck his chest.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Yuecunze took out a single-effect pedal that amplifies force field damage from his guitar case and quickly connected it to the interface on the guitar sword hilt, making a crisp "click" sound. "If you keep padding your word count, you'll be punished by some mysterious higher-dimensional force."

"Very well!" Two yellow halos suddenly lit up under the hood. "Since you're in such a hurry to die, then so be it!"

"Snapped!"

A crisp snap of fingers.

Centered on the location of Koshimura Sawa and Toyokawa Shoko, all the streetlights around them seemed to be gripped by an invisible force, and began to shake wildly, emitting a sound of unbearable strain.

Immediately afterwards——

“Bang bang bang bang bang!!!”

The sound of shattering glass was like the incessant crackling of firecrackers, and all the streetlight bulbs exploded at the same time, scattering fragments everywhere.

Darkness descended suddenly, leaving only a faint crescent moon overhead.

"Watch out!" Before Toyokawa Shoko could finish speaking, a piercing metallic screech suddenly came from her direction, and a spark flashed and disappeared in the darkness.

"Are you alright?" Koshimura asked hurriedly.

"I'm fine..." Toyokawa Shoko's voice came from the darkness, "The shadows expanded the range of his abilities—Quick! Light! Light! Light! Light! Light!"

"Pfft!" Koshimura suddenly couldn't hold back and burst out laughing at an inopportune moment.

I'm sorry, it's really unethical, but, Mr. Da Xiang, you're still Intel!

[How dare you use a lamp!]

He's still a top expert in the WSD field.

Strangely enough, Koshimura suddenly started to miss Shiina Tatsuki.

What a delightful surprise it would be if the drummers were here!

At least physical damage dealers aren't as constrained as spellcasters in this situation...

but...

In the darkness, a very subtle upward curve appeared at the corner of Koshimura's mouth.

That's really bad luck.

He slowly closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them!

The darkness before him receded like the tide, and the world became clear again in his eyes. Although it had lost its color and was left with only a monotonous gray-white outline, the walls, debris, the ground, and even the dust floating in the air became clearly distinguishable.

do not forget--
