Looking at the scene in front of him, Momomiya Luye's body seemed to be filled with lead, and his legs could no longer support such a weight, and he suddenly fell downwards.
Sitting like a duck on the cold water, I stared at the body of Kaori Hayata above me in a daze.
Beside her, Tomokawa Nao was holding her shoulders tightly with her hands, her body began to tremble uncontrollably, and painful sobs came from deep in her throat.
"Senior sister, senior sister, senior sister..."
As the voice continued to be repeated, waves of pitch-black filthy aura rose from her body, opening up like a mother's arms, gently accepting and wrapping her inside.
With the appearance of this filthy aura, her magical girl outfit also began to change little by little.
From bottom to top, the original aqua blue outfit was quickly eroded by filth, with dark inscriptions deeply imprinted on it.
As if she was comforted by the filthy atmosphere, Tomokawa Nao's crying gradually became inaudible.
He raised his head and stared blankly at Hayata Kaori above, as if his eyes had lost the light of all recognition.
"Nao, you, what's wrong with you..."
Sensing something strange about the friend next to him, Momomiya Luye subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the other person's body.
The next second, he had to shrink back and said with pain.
"Oh, it's so hot!"
Because the filthy aura attached to the other party's body was like the flames from hell. Just a slight contact had already burned her palms, and the corrosive wounds sent waves of heartbreaking pain.
Covering his palms, Momomiya Luye said anxiously.
"Nao, can you hear me, Nao?"
"Hurry up and wake up. This is what Kaori-senpai doesn't want to see you like this!"
However, no matter how hard Momomiya Shikaha tried, her words showed no sign of being conveyed to Tomokawa Nao.
The filthy aura lingering around the other party became more and more intense, and even Tomokawa Nao's face became blurry.
"hateful......"
At this moment, Momomiya Luye looked at the dark aura that was constantly covering the opponent's body, with unspeakable hatred in his eyes.
She stretched out her hand, and the red flame sword that fell to the side circled and flew back to her hand.
Holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, Momomiya Shikaye threatened sternly.
"You guys, get away from Nao right now!"
Hearing these words, the filthy aura clinging to Tomokawa Nao's body paused, as if she was intimidated by Momomiya Shikaba's aura.
But in the next moment, the madness spread again, completely wrapping Tomokawa Nao and covering her with a layer of gray armor.
The part covering his face looked like a clown's mask, and the exaggerated corners of his mouth expressed a sneer to Momomiya Shikaha.
Seeing this scene, Momomiya Luye couldn't help but clenched his teeth, and the flames on the sword in his hand turned purple with anger.
She lifted the sword blade slightly, pointed it at Tomokawa Nao, and made up her mind.
"Nao, no matter what, I can't let you have another accident."
"So, sorry!"
The purple-red light stirred up a storm and struck at Tomokawa Nao without hesitation, trying to strip away the filthy aura from her body.
But as if reacting to her attack, Tomokawa Nao, who had been silent until just now, suddenly made a move.
This time, her movements were incredibly fast, and even a blurry afterimage flashed in Momomiya Shikaye's eyes.
In an instant, the big sword in Momomiya Luye's hand was knocked away by a huge force.
A dark sharp claw wrapped around her neck like a poisonous snake, then tightened suddenly and lifted her body out of the water.
"Well..."
At this moment, Momomiya Shikaye's face was reddened, and she tried her best to pry the opponent's fingers, trying to break free from the opponent's grasp.
But in the face of that terrifying power, such a small struggle was completely useless.
I could only look at the dark mask with an increasingly mocking expression, and spoke with difficulty.
"Nao, wake up...come...come..."
At the end of her speech, she could no longer squeeze her voice out of her throat, her eyes began to roll up out of control, and her arms dropped to her sides.
There was also a dark and filthy aura starting to emerge from her body.
"Hehehehehehehehe..."
Seeing everything happening in front of him, the mirage demon was already laughing, slapping its belly in the sky, and rolling back and forth.
"Yes, that's right, that's it, keep on, keep on increasing the intensity!"
"Anger, sadness, resentment, hatred, repentance... burst out all your negative emotions!"
"As expected of me, Mirage Demon, for being able to come up with such a perfect plan."
"Use human beings as a seedbed, use hope as the foundation soil, and then pile it with beautiful fertilizer."
"Only when everything is reversed can you harvest the ripest and fullest fruits!"
"Hehehe, at this moment, they have all fallen deeply into the swamp of shadows and can no longer escape."
"I didn't expect that the appearance of that human being would actually speed up the process of the experiment. Thanks to him, the final results will be seen soon..."
"If the experiment is successful, then all human beings will become the flesh vessels for our Fujin people to cultivate curse seals..."
Thinking of this, the mirage demon's eyes fell proudly on Yagami Kong on the shore, expecting the other party to do something stupid like turning around and running away in the next second.
But to its surprise, even at this moment, it still couldn't find any sign of panic in Ye Shenkong's eyes.
Seeing this scene, the mirage demon's eyes suddenly darkened a bit.
Could it be that he has prepared any means of comeback?
Or should I say...
Just plain scared?
Well, looking at it this way, it should be the latter.
After all, this has long been a world where it is impossible for ordinary people to intervene——
Just as the mirage demon was thinking about it, the giant movement holding Hayata Kaori's body next to it suddenly stopped.
The next moment, his entire body became paralyzed, falling straight down like a helicopter that had lost power, and hit the sea.
And what a coincidence, it landed right next to Momomiya Shikaha and Tomokawa Nao, causing a huge splash.
After everything calmed down, a dull voice could be heard coming from the giant mouth.
"Uh, uh... I feel dizzy..."
"Shikaha-chan, Nao-chan, are you there? Come and help me..."
"It's so tight here, I can't pull my head out..."
The moment she heard this, Tomokawa Nao, who had turned black, couldn't help but be startled.
Her eyes unconsciously looked towards the direction where the sound came from, which was where Hayata Kaori's head disappeared from the other person's mouth.
"Yes...senior sister..."
Hearing this voice, Momomiya Luye, who was about to lose consciousness, suddenly shone with light in his eyes, and the filthy air on his body disappeared.
She lowered her head forcefully, grabbed the opponent's sharp claws with her chin, looked at the position where the opponent's eyes should be, and said loudly.
"Nao, did you hear that? Senior sister is still alive!"
"We have to save her, now!"
The next moment, her body fell.
After letting go, Tomokawa Nao staggered back a few steps in pain, then covered her head and knelt down on the water, letting out an irrational roar.
And with these venting noises, the filthy mask covering the face appeared cracks visible to the naked eye one after another.
At this moment, Momomiya Shikaha no longer bothered to check on Tomokawa Nao, she covered her neck and walked towards the place where the huge mouth was floating.
"Cough...cough, hold on, senior, I'm coming!"
"Hey-ya!"
As she pushed hard with both hands, the upper jaw of the huge mouth lifted up, revealing Kaori Hayata's face covered with unknown liquid.
The reason why she was able to survive was because a strange, smooth gap appeared between the fangs lined with iron thorns, the same size as Kaori Hayata's neck.
Seeing this scene, the expression of the mirage demon above changed drastically.
As if it realized something, it slowly turned its head, and its eyes once again fell on the face of Ye Shenkong in the distance.
This time, it noticed the obvious sarcasm in the other person's eyes.
