"Who... who won!"
The huge smoke that diffused on the battlefield blocked the sight. Lei and Erika made anxious sounds and looked over there. Ash, who was sitting there, changed his position leisurely.
"At times like this, just watch carefully."
"Even if you say that, we will... wait!" Erika suddenly realized who was talking to them.
"Why are you sitting next to us like this as if nothing happened!?"
"Isn't it possible?"
"It's not impossible..." Compared to Lei's embarrassment, Erika's hostility and resentment were about to turn into a physical stinky child and strangle Ash's neck. "Do you think this is okay?!"
"Yeah, I just can... oh, the winner has been decided."
After hearing Ash's words, the two of them had no time to argue with him. They turned their eyes to the smoke-filled battlefield. They were nervous and wanted to know who would win in the end.
Then they looked at the scene in front of them and their eyes widened.
It was only inches away from the girl's unprotected waist. However, before that, Revice Sawblade, which was emitting high temperature, struck the dark magic wand in Dark Precure's hand. Even though the place of contact was filled with thick smoke, it was still effectively blocked.
Tsukikage Yuri, defeated.
Chapter 23 The self you pursue
If you can't dodge, just block it. It's a simple truth that everyone understands.
"Hmph!"
Dark Precure opened the eyes that had been tightly closed before, revealing the golden pupils. An invisible shock wave spread from the center of the pupils. Even Pretty Cure could not resist this level of power. At this time, Tsukikage Yuri was pinned to the ground.
This is the power given to her by her creator Dr. Sabaku, which is different from Pretty Cure. On top of that, she can defeat the enemy!
"It's almost time to take action."
Knocking away the saw blade in the opponent's hand, the red crystal at the front of the magic wand condensed a little bit of black energy and pointed at Yuri, who was very close at hand.
This time, the person who couldn't escape changed his stance.
"Thank you, Cure Moonlight..."
Thank you...
"You can kill me twice!"
"Dark Forte Wave!"
The same move as Pretty Cure, but with the opposite force. Yuri, who was hit at zero range, received a strong blow. The armor on her body was broken into pieces as she screamed. The girl who turned back into human form rolled around on the ground several times, and did not stop until her clothes were covered with dust.
"Yuri-nee!"
"See, this is the result! I was created, Dark Precure, to defeat Pretty Cure. I am different, different from those small and useless humans!"
Facing the direction of Tsukikage Yuri, the voice seemed to be boasting about itself, and seemed to be talking to Ash.
With high heels that sounded like the tolling of hell bells, Dark Precure walked up to Yuri and stepped on her stomach with a gentle foot, causing her to let out a just right cry of pain while tearing off her belt and throwing it into Ash's hands.
"Don't do this unnecessary trouble again."
"Yes, thank you for your kindness."
He took the belt, but at this time Ash had no smile on his face or in his voice.
"Why..."
The faint sound coming from the soles of her feet made her turn her head to look at Yuri lying on the ground.
"You said you were created by Shaback, but just because it was his order, you have to pester me to destroy me..."
Perhaps because the final moment was approaching and the defeated self could stand from a more objective perspective, Yuri began to tell her his inner doubts.
"Why, just because of this, because of the order?"
"If you just follow the order, there will be no other ideas..."
Isn't this just too sad?
"Are you pitying me?!"
As if he was irritated, Dark Precure raised his foot and stepped on her again as if to vent his anger, causing Yuri to let out an even louder cry of pain.
"Hey!"
Ash stood up and walked over quickly.
"I was born to destroy you! Cure Moonlight!"
"Whose orders do I obey and what does it have to do with me?!"
Finally, facing Tsukikage Yuri who was defeated by him, Dark Precure finally poured out everything hidden in his heart.
"Whether it is Desert Apostles, human beings or Pretty Cure, it doesn't matter whether it is justice or evil, it has nothing to do with me!"
"I am not being manipulated by anyone, I am using my own will! All of this is fought only for myself, and it will be the same in the future!"
Even though her life was in the hands of others, Yuri, with blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, did not have the slightest sense of timidity. She glared at her with an absolutely serious and unyielding look. This look that seemed to be burning with light actually stunned Dark Precure for a moment.
"This is just a palace of self that you built to lock yourself in!"
Anyway, she has nothing to lose except this life - no...
Thinking of his mother, the figure of the coffee shop and the obscure boss, his originally sharp eyes softened for a moment.
At this moment, Anmei regained her composure. Thinking that she was actually frightened by the other party's eyes, an indescribable sense of shame, anger and jealousy came from her chest.
"You really want to die... Cure Moonlight!"
The magic wand in Dark Precure's hand made a half circle, and the sharp red gem was held upside down in his hand, pointing directly at the throat of Yuri, who was stepped on by him.
"No, Yuri-nee (Cure Moonlight!)!"
The two girls and the elves screamed in despair. Faced with the threat of death, the uncontrollable fear made Yuri subconsciously close his eyes.
With just one blow, she could pierce the girl's throat and take her life away.
But before that happened, Dark Precure's hand hovered in the air.
"Okay, stop."
A hand grabbed from behind.
Ash, who was standing behind the girl, firmly grabbed her wrist from behind, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"What do you mean, Timons!"
"It's ugly enough, Little Dark."
He keeps talking about how different he is from humans, desperately trying to praise his greatness.
But he was so impatient that he wanted to kill Tsukikage Yuri who looked like him.
It's just like...
It seems that I thought wrongly. There is still a long way to go.
"You win, Dark precure, and that's enough."
"What did you say?"
"Listen to me, Dark Precure!" Instead of using his pet name for her, Ash finally looked at her seriously through the mask. "She is no longer Pretty Cure. Cure Moonlight was already dead that day and was killed by you! You should know that, right?"
Originally, she wanted to teach Ash, who interrupted her at will, a lesson, but his words made her stop and think about it carefully.
Seeing Yuri on the ground in pain, Ash sped up and said, "She is just an ordinary person now. What does it mean if you knock her down?"
"You have already won. You are no longer a shadow but the real you, so there is no need to continue acting like this. That's why I said you look so ugly!"
"Little Dark, you know? There's nothing you can do..." Sensing the change on her face, Ash quickly changed her words. "You can't be someone other than yourself. Do you understand this?"
"I've already won... Humph!"
Seeing the subtle change in the expression on the girl's face, Ash finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, finally... I feel really tired.
"Cure Moonlight... No, human, you will be useless in this case." The obsession in her eyes was perfectly suppressed by the joy of victory, and she no longer paid attention to this "prototype" of her own.
"Before I change my mind... hum, let's go!"
The transmitted energy was activated, and Dark Precure, who was in an indescribable mood, disappeared in an instant.
"Yes~yes~"
'Wait a minute, boss! '
The voice of a certain embarrassing guy sounded from the bottom of Ash's heart. When he looked carefully, he found that for some reason, Kain was no longer in Timons Driver.
'I didn't intend to absorb her life, but after helping her a little, I accidentally ran into her body. Boss, please save me~'
"What a devil that doesn't make people worry."
Ash shook his head, turned around and picked up the seal and stamped it on Tsukikage Yuri.
"Come back like this... huh?"
"Great! I'll go back... Eh?"
One person and one demon looked at each other's figure and were stunned at the same time.
Kain, who originally had no entity and existed invisibly, lowered his head and looked at his non-existent hand. This time, it was an actual body, and the visible entity was real.
"Okay, I have a body!"
But this body is completely different from the one in the Keef series, and... why does it feel like I've seen it somewhere?
"What are you talking about, a color change and repaint of Dai-ni?"
Looking at Kain who was so happy that he was spinning around in circles, Ash couldn't help but hold his forehead.
Just because it was too excited, what it didn't notice was that the other two elves on one side were staring at it in stunned silence.
Behind it, Tsukikage Yuri's eyes widened as he watched Kain emerge from his body, and a trembling hand stretched out towards its back.
"Can... can... Kelong?!"
Chapter 24 If you never gave me hope...
"I finally, I finally have a body!"
At this time, Kain had a proud smile on his face, constantly showing off his new body, and the little tail on his back was spinning like a propeller, about to fly, not to mention how happy he was.
After all, let alone the comparison with Keefe, Mirage can change people, Bell can run out and hit people, and other lower-level demons still have vicious and ferocious bodies after contracting with them. As a result, Kain is intangible and does not even exist. It can only be used as an emoticon mascot in the drive. It is so irritating that it is so popular. Not to mention how depressing it is to be a little devil.
Now it finally got what it wanted. Although it doesn't look very domineering, it finally has a body that can move. How can it not be happy?
Thank you, Moonlight Angel!
"Why is it so tuned?"
Seeing Kain's black and white carrot head, it is exactly like the repainted version of the two stupid elves next to him... Ash's expression and mood are a bit subtle. Although it is indeed cute, who doesn't want the devil in his heart to look powerful and domineering? At least it has to have the function of turning into a vehicle, right?
Call out the system panel. After all, this seal is produced by the system. You have to take care of the after-sales service.
"This Sin Stamp was produced by you, right?"
Fortunately, Lupine's masks not only have the ability to confuse vision, they can also change their voices, turning their voices into a rich Parseltongue. Ash is not afraid that he will be heard by Yuri next to him.
[It's me]
"Then what's going on? Not to mention that... what's going on? In short, it's the humanoid demon who likes hell jokes. Generally, other Keef demons are in monster form after all. What's going on with this weak appearance?"
"Boss, I don't think it's good."
"Children, don't interrupt when adults are talking!"
"Woo..."
For Ash, who was actually at 80, the system floating in the air spit out a few dots and then typed out.
