A loud bang drew everyone's attention, and the two performers on stage were stunned. For a moment, only the background music played in the venue.

"Tsuna!" Ichigo called out Tsuna before even turning his head to look in the direction the voice came from. They were very familiar with the spiritual pressure emanating from the explosion; it was Ginjo's spiritual pressure.

Without Ichigo's command, a thin mist had already quietly covered the arena, and all the spectators inside showed excited expressions before falling into a deep sleep.

The moment Tsuna sensed Ginjo's spiritual pressure, he had already released Illusion. Since Ginjo was human, the Illusion of mist was necessary to conceal him from the general public.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, they heard Ginjo shout "Stop!" and a crawling creature was rapidly climbing up the wall toward the roof. Then, it flapped its wings and flew into the vast night.

"Ginjo, what happened?" Ichigo rushed to Ginjo's side and asked. Ginjo was holding a cross Hanging, his hands trembling as if he was trying to suppress his anger.

Turning around, Ginjo saw Tsuna's figure, and his face darkened even more. "Tsuna, Yuko, Yuko might really be an imposter!"

Compared to their previous strong denial, the facts before them forced Ginjo to believe that the Veiled Dragon they had been searching for all these days was none other than Yuko, the Yuko he was dating!

Returning to the beginning of the concert, after Ginjo had just confessed his love to Yuko, he noticed that Yuko's expression was clearly off.

Ginjo's soft hand suddenly tightened, Yuko's pupils contracted slightly and then dilated slightly, as if she was experiencing some kind of pleasure.

Her lips stretched into a wide grin that reached her ears, and with a maddening expression, she murmured, "Finally, finally someone has expressed true love for me!"

"That's wonderful! As a reward for you, Ginjo, I've decided to let you stay with me forever!"

Suddenly, Yuko's body unfurled like a roll of bandages, transforming into a gaping, terrifying maw that lunged at Ginjo.

Although his mind didn't react in time, Ginjo, with his rich combat experience, had already acted. The necklace transformed into a cross-shaped Hanging in his hand, Yuko "Ginjo flying.

The sound earlier was the sound of "Yuko" being slammed against the wall by Ginjo. "Yuko," now covered in mud, began to reveal her true form, looking nothing like a human, but rather like a hairy reptile.

Seemingly realizing that Ginjo was not someone to be trifled with, "Yuko" abandoned her plan to continue attacking Ginjo, but her desire to stay with Ginjo did not diminish.

"Ginjo, wait for me, wait for me to come back and take you away!" For some reason, the reptilian creature's eyes revealed a look of madness. After staring at Ginjo, "Yuko" quickly climbed over the wall and escaped.

Left behind, Ginjo's feelings were incredibly complicated. He had finally mustered the courage to express his love, but before he could even feel the joy of receiving a response, it was extinguished by "Yuko." The moment "Yuko" opened her mouth wide, Ginjo felt nothing but blatant malice.

Ginjo couldn't describe what it felt like to personally slap a loved one away. Right now, he could only bury his feelings deep inside and share the information with Tsuna and the others.

"I understand. Leave this to us. You can rest for a bit." Tsuna said, patting Ginjo on the shoulder. Getting some peace and quiet was the best option for Ginjo.

"Hey, Tsuna, that's Veiled Dragon! I told you that the bastard's aura couldn't be hidden at all!" Without even changing her clothes, Nini, stepping on silver light, dashed to Tsuna's side in a flash, loudly proving her point of view.

Ginjo's gaze dimmed slightly. It turned out that Nini had already given him a hint a week ago, but he hadn't taken it seriously.

"Let's not talk about that now. The concert audience and staff have all fallen into my Illusion. We've split into two groups: one to chase after the Veiled Dragon, and the other to stay behind and protect the others to prevent the Veiled Dragon from launching a counterattack," Tsuna said.

"A-Xin and I are going to chase after it; it's our target!" Nini said immediately. As witches, dealing with the Dark Dragon was their duty.

"I'll stay here. Karin and Yuko are here, and Chad and Orihime aren't very fast, so we'll stay together to protect the audience." With his sister present, Ichigo didn't get carried away and volunteered to guard the area.

"I'll stay too. With Kurosaki and me here, that dragon won't be able to get any closer!" Uryū said confidently. As long as he and Ichigo fight back to back, their attack range will be all-encompassing.

"In that case, Tatsuki and I will follow Nini and the others in pursuit. Tatsuki, take out the flash unit."

Following Tsuna's instructions, Tatsuki took two camera-like devices out of her bag and tossed them to Ichigo. These were the Urahara Kisuke used to erase human memories of seeing unusual phenomena.

"Although the time is short, there's no guarantee that no one will notice Ginjo's side. Ichigo, you guys take the equipment and make a round to prevent any from slipping through the net."

No sooner had Tsuna finished speaking than Ginjo stepped forward again. He had made up his mind. "Tsuna, I'm going too. I want to end this love that was wrong to begin with!"

Tsuna was not surprised at all. Without even this much mental fortitude, Ginjo would never have been able to establish Xcution when everyone had turned against him.

"The Illusion lasts for one hour. If you defeat your opponent within that hour and return, your concert can continue," Tsuna said to Nini.

"No problem, I'll find a good reason!" Nini waved her hand, and two small dragons, one green and one red, flew over. These two dragons were hidden in the bundle behind Nini's backstage.

Just as the witches were about to mount their brooms, a clear, cold voice called out to them.

"Nini, what happened? What is that monster? Who are they? Why can you fly?" Jealous and confused looks fell on Nini's companion. The tall, beautiful girl, Meishi Balger, who had a strong possessive desire for Nini, asked.

Actually, she had been running this way with Nini after the incident, but she didn't have Nini's abilities. After jogging all the way here, she happened to run into Nini others who looked like they were about to set off.

"Really..."

Nini had no intention of explaining anything about the Dark Dragon of Reverse London to her companions. She could only glare at Tsuna and demand to know why he hadn't charmed Mayi as well.

That's not the point. The point is, why can Messi see the dragon? Nini doesn't have time to think about these questions anymore; she just wants to get rid of Messi, this troublesome person.

Tsuna scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. Because of Nini, he had subconsciously avoided the stage when releasing the mist, which resulted in Meishi still being awake.

It's not too late to use Illusion now. With just a glance from Tsuna, the defenseless Meishi immediately fainted.

Seeing that Macy had fainted, Nini breathed a sigh of relief and quickly activated her flight magic to fly out of the stadium. "Quick, quick, we can't let it escape!"

The others hurriedly chased after Nini, not expecting the Veiled Dragon to be so cunning. After arriving in Japan, it changed its face, and if it escaped again, it would be troublesome to find it.

What Tsuna and the others didn't know was that this time, the Veiled Dragon wouldn't run away. It had obtained what it had always dreamed of: a man's most sincere love. Now, it needed to make itself complete through evolution.

Skytree, the tallest iron tower in Karakura Town, a reptile is rapidly climbing towards the top.

(Don't worry about whether Karakura Town actually has this thing; I just think the combination of a full moon, an iron tower, and a flying dragon looks pretty good.)

As it ascended, the Veiled Dragon's body gradually grew larger, as if it were evolving from a young dragon into an adult dragon. During this evolution, its feathers also gradually grew out.

It was less like feathers and more like scales, fish-scale-like, shimmering in the moonlight.

As it climbed to the top of the iron tower, its wings also evolved, and the fin-like wings unfolded, carrying it into the sky.

The dragon's tail swung freely in the air; its thick, powerful tail was crescent-shaped, more like a fish tail than a dragon's.

Under the bright moonlight, the fully evolved Veiled Dragon slowly landed on the iron tower. Behind it was the full moon, and its scales reflected the moon's iridescent light, adding a rainbow of divine charm to it.

"That's... a dragon?"

From afar, Tsuna saw the fully evolved Veiled Dragon. Apart from its dragon head and Dragon Claws, Tsuna couldn't tell at all what this so-called dragon had to do with Western dragons.

Scales that reflect light like fish scales, a powerful dragon tail like a fish's tail, fin-like wings that can cover the entire tower when spread out, and shell-like dragon horns—is this a dragon or a fish?

"So beautiful." As a visual creature, Tatsuki exclaimed immediately, completely unaware that Nini and Noelle were both stunned.

"Seriously, is it really possible for the two of you to defeat a dragon of this level?"

Tsuna could already feel the spiritual pressure emanating from the other party; this power was definitely at the Vasto Lorde level. Had WB lost their minds? Sending two low-ranking witches who weren't even in the combat squads to deal with this kind of dragon?

"How is this possible? His appearance and body shape have completely changed!"

Nini looked rather dazed as she spoke, clearly quite frightened. If Veiled Dragon were this kind of monster, she wouldn't have dared to accept such an extremely difficult mission.

"This is probably what ascension is!" Noelle said very seriously.

"What!" Nini immediately stared intently at the dragon on the Eiffel Tower, examining it closely. "Fish-scaled Dragon Scales, fish-fin-like wings, and a fish tail! Could it be..."

"Fairy Tale Dragon!" Noelle said with certainty, "This isn't some Veiled Dragon, it's Fairy Tale Dragon!"

Noelle's basic knowledge was sufficient, and without needing to be asked, she continued, "Legend has it that there existed before Reverse London, a seven-headed dragon named after a fairy tale."

"Snow White, Red Dress, Golden Axe, Foam, Candy House, Animal Band, and Cinderella!"
