"Qiji- kun, please don't pity me!!!"
Yesterday at the arcade, she caused Qiji to lose the game.
This time, she's determined to win for Qiji!
Qiji hates losing so much, how could I be the one to hold him back!
Upon hearing Qiji also made up his mind.
He nodded slightly, then sheathed the Sword of No Thought again.
"I think this move is called the Final Form?"
"Crackling sound!!"
The moment Qiji drew her sword again, the scabbard made of Liuli (True Name) shattered under the strain, and countless spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its surface.
Then, with a "bang," it shattered completely, turning into fragments of Heart Essence and imagery that scattered in all directions!
The previously restrained cold light on the sword suddenly surged, as if it had broken free from all constraints.
A terrifying sword intent, sharp and incomparable, seemingly capable of severing everything, soared into the sky!
Do you recognize this sword?
Qiji resorted to his old tricks, attempting to provoke the opponent again with Kamishiro Seigen.
However, this time, when Kamishiro Chiho looked at the person in front of her, holding the sword her former lover loved most and using his most skilled sword techniques, she felt little sadness in her heart.
Because she saw it—
He saw the figure of Kamishiro Seigen appear before him.
However, at this moment, the other party's face was already blurred and indistinct.
Her Qingxian, with her face blurred by mosaic, looked at her tenderly and smiled:
Chiho, you're so silly...
Forget about those who are dead, and just be happy as soon as possible.
There will definitely be someone more suitable for you than me, who will appear before you with my sword.
He will love you well in my place.
These words seemed to possess a magical power, instantly erasing Kamishiro Chiho's memories of Qingxian as if they had been wiped clean.
Then, another figure moved in—
He wore a half-mask, his eyes were covered by a silver-gray tie, and his silver hair shimmered in the moonlight.
"Darling, tell me your name?"
Kamishiro Chiho asked Qiji with deep affection.
"???"
Who the hell gave you permission to call me "darling"?!
Qiji a chill run down his spine. He gritted his teeth and added another thirty percent of his strength to this sword strike!
With only three uses of [Instant Bloom] left, Qiji used it once here.
[Annotation] + [Tools] + [Final Form] + [Instant Bloom]!
Without a doubt!
This was Qiji's most powerful sword strike, surpassing any of his previous attacks!
However--
"Ah!!!!"
Kamishiro Chiho, yearning for true love, roared out a cry for love at this moment.
In an instant, the already enormous [Scythe of True Love] in her hand expanded again, becoming as tall as a person!
The terrifying aura almost solidified!
Without hesitation, Qiji touched the mask lightly with his hand.
His entire being, imbued with the [Final Form: One Sword], blurred in an instant, he passed through Kamishiro Chiho's Kamishiro Chiho and slashed fiercely at her!
Kamishiro Chiho's eyes, which were full of love, suddenly contracted.
She hadn't expected that Qiji would be able to use the same Echo that had allowed him to break free from his web earlier.
This is really...
It really made her like it even more!!!
Having once loved Kamishiro Seigen, she naturally knew the power of the [Final Form: One Sword].
She slightly turned her body, Qiji her left arm to launch a counterattack.
She knew full well that this kind of conceptual Echo from Qiji could not be sustained.
Just as she expected—
Qiji reached for the mask again, but this time, his Echo failed!
This is to be expected; with any high-level Echo, each release will inevitably cause the circuit to fall into overload for a period of time!
"You can't dodge it now, can you? Then you'd better take this hit! And then, become my beloved slave!!!"
Kamishiro Chiho wielded her giant scythe with immense power.
Qiji's expression changed drastically.
Of course it's an act.
Despite wearing a half-mask and being blindfolded, his acting skills might be considered "unnecessary."
But that's just his professionalism as an actor!
Even if no one sees his "drastic change in expression," he will still act out the details!
Under the illumination of the [Moon of Annotation], although Qiji's eyes were covered, his five senses were enhanced exponentially.
The moon is his eye!
Therefore, he had already sensed Kamishiro Chiho's actions long before!
However, in order to deceive his opponent, he had to take the hit head-on.
The failure to use [Blurring of Illusion and Reality] was also a foreshadowing of what he would do in the [Final Chapter]!
Qiji twisted his body and turned around, parrying with his sword in an extremely strange posture.
The giant scythe grazed his side, and blood splattered everywhere.
Fortunately, the injury was still only frightening to look at.
Qiji blocked the attack with minimal loss, then quickly retreated to create distance.
[Annotation: 70%!]
With Kamishiro Chiho losing an arm, [Annotation] her speed suddenly increased dramatically.
However, the next moment, the severed arm on the ground began to writhe as if it were alive!
Kamishiro Chiho's severed limb, precisely wrapping around it and tightening abruptly!
The arm flew back through the air with a "snap," connecting perfectly to the severed end.
It looked as if he had never been injured at all!
High-ranking Echoer possess various mysterious methods, which did not surprise Qiji.
Besides, the progress of [Annotation] has been accelerated, which is enough.
"Darling, please don't resist, okay?"
Such a handsome face, I really can't bear to part with it...
Kamishiro Chiho repeated "darling," and the instant her words fell, a dagger flew straight towards her—
It's Liuli.
She's been unhappy with Kamishiro Chiho for a long time!
You old woman, what are you calling my classmate Qiji?!
Shut up!
However, such an attack would naturally not be able to harm the latter.
Kamishiro Chiho casually flicked her wrist, knocking the dagger away. Without even glancing at Liuli, she continued hissing and spitting, staring at Qiji and saying:
"The Final Form: One Sword can only be used once, and your Heart Essence will soon be depleted."
You're really amazing to have done this.
But that's where it ends.
"No fight, no friendship. Why don't we turn hostility into friendship, lie down, and have a good talk?"
Ruri wasn't the only one Liuli with Kamishiro Chiho stream chat was already filled with angry comments.
"Spider-Man, you've got your eyes on our Prisoner Ji? You think you're worthy?"
"Damn! I thought she was the most devoted woman in the Kamishiro Family! But after seeing Prisoner Ji's face, she immediately fell for someone else?"
"Then what about Qingxian, whom you were just calling out for?"
"I guess he's a clown."
"There's no way around it, Hajiqi's face is just too authoritative!"
"That poor Kamishiro Seigen! His sword got stolen... his childhood friend was given away... and now... sigh!"
The Annotation process is almost complete!
After Qiji used his last two [Instant Bloom] attacks in succession, he bought some time.
finally--
[Annotation] 100%!
[One Night's Moonfall] Enters the fourth stage:
[Final Chapter]!
Qiji closed his eyes and spoke softly:
"The story ends here."
Through chanting, stir the Sea of Consciousness!
As soon as the words were spoken, the bright moon in the sky suddenly dimmed!
All the radiance instantly coalesced into a thin, almost invisible silver thread, descending from the sky and connecting to the [Silver Wish] covering Qiji's eyes!
Qiji suddenly pulled the [Silver Wish] down, and slowly opened his closed eyes, Moonlight surging in his pupils!
In an instant, hundreds of possible endings flashed through Qiji's mind.
Qiji saw it—
All endings.
Of these thousands of possible endings, there are only seven in which he wins.
However, three victories came at the cost of Liuli's death, and three endings saw him and Kamishiro Chiho perish together.
Therefore, there is only one possible ending left...
At this moment, Qiji's [One Night's Moonfall] could not compare to the Yuejian.
If it were Yuejian, it wouldn't be a "selected" ending, but rather a "written" ending.
Yuejian can create endings that didn't exist in the first place.
Just like that day, Yuejian wrote the Final Chapter of the Kijika's coma right there on the arena.
Unfortunately, Qiji couldn't do it.
