Nuh-uh!　Kid!

　O'Sullivan relentlessly chases Yuto around. Yuto ducked O'Sullivan's halper calmly, but with a paperweight. And while doing so, he paid attention to Julian and Doberk's movements.
　As expected, Yuto also sensed that his own breath was beginning to be disturbed. He didn't intend to be hunted by his opponent just yet, but he hadn't found a decisive counterattack opportunity either.

(These guys, I could feel it, but........strong!　They're quite a bunch of guys in individual battles. They don't let up for a second!　(But........there should be a move on Shitenji by now)

　As he held the ETI-Baku in his right eye and controlled O'Sullivan, Yuto expected the fight to enter the next phase.
　Yuto didn't just draw these powerful enemies to him with the pretense of being a hero.
　And moreover, he did not think that he would defeat them all by himself alone.
　Yuto's aim was twofold.
　First, it was to buy time.
　But that was not a way to buy time for Mizuho and the rest of the Shitenji family to escape.
　If that was the case, I would have told them to run away long ago. The attacker's target is Shitenji himself. Running away from them won't solve the problem. They will come back.
　Besides, this is the headquarters of Shitenji. Shitenji would never think of abandoning this place, both in terms of ability and pride.
　In other words, Shitenji must be planning to completely beat the enemy here.
　What's more, Yuto had the feeling that Shitenji might have invited the enemy to come here on purpose.

(If that's the case........you're an inedible person, Akane. He was trying to get me involved from the beginning.)

　For that reason, Yuto provoked him and drew him to himself.
　He is a Shitenji with a history of fighting with numerous abilities. He would always come up with a countermeasure.
　That's why Yuto fought to make his enemy draw out his hand as much as possible, and bought time for Shitenji to analyze his characteristics as an able-bodied person.
　And another aim of Yuto's.
　Actually, this one is more important to Yuto right now.
　It's the aim as Yujin of the Dou Dou Dou family.

I can't be sure... but there is a flicker of the magical world behind these guys.

　This is the one thing that I, as a member of the Du Du family, would never leave behind. It is the reason for the existence of the Dou Dou Dou family.
　Just like Lokiarum and the Count, the art of capturing the power of demons.

(Count Cagliostro knew the name of Azi Dahak, the demon god of mischief I defeated in the demon world. However, I have complete control over the entrance and exit to the Demon Realm, the Demon Grotto........ (Then where the hell did these guys come from?

　Yuto wanted information about this area at all costs.
　Who exactly are Julian and the others, and are they an organized group?
　If they are an organization, what purpose do they have, and to what extent did they allocate their forces to attack this time?

(How much do you know about the demon world.......if you know that.)

　However, each and every one of these guys is terribly strong.
　Although it's unlikely, if there are a significant number of people with abilities comparable to these guys in reserve, it's not something that can be dealt with in a head-to-head battle.
　If it wasn't for the numerous life and death experiences in the demon world, Yuto also couldn't take on Julian and the other three at the same time.

(If.........if these guys already knew quite a bit about the Demon World and risked exposing its existence in broad daylight for whatever purpose.......)

　His father Liaoichi and grandfather Kama Zang would naturally move as well.
　Instead of hiding and defending only the Demon Laird's Grotto like in the past, Dou Du must also actively wield his power.
　

(Of course I too........will do my best to eliminate it. By any means........)

　While Yuto was glaring at O'Sullivan, he began to simulate in his head how he would move when Shitenji made a move, when O'Sullivan shook his shoulder and started laughing.

''Ku........Ku......haha, what the hell, those guys!　You don't have to hide your hand anymore!　Then I'm going to go as I please.

　O'Sullivan suddenly moved as he said this. He grabbed Halper in both hands and cleaved to reap from the left side of Yuto's left side in the curved area.

(Nah!　(Fast!)

　Yuto was not caught off guard.
　However, in an instant, O'Sullivan came into his pocket.
　When you can't avoid it, you can't avoid it, and when you catch Halper with an ETI, a tremendous shockwave passes through to wrap around you and split both of your cheeks.

''.........''

Not good!　Now, if Julian and his friends surround you do you want to come?　(Oh, that one!)

　Yuto's eyes widened when he saw Julian and Doberk behind O'Sullivan.
　He immediately understood that the two of them had stopped going along with him to stall for time, but that wasn't what surprised him.
　I was astonished to see Julian and Doberk's spiritual and bewitching powers completely mingled and flooding their bodies as one force.
　And the same goes for the O'Sullivan in front of me. Spiritual power and demonic energy mingled together, and with that, O'Sullivan's power increased, causing Yuto to retreat with his posture.

''Guuu!''

　Yuto surpasses Harper with his hand on the hilt and blade of the posture and blade.

(These guys couldn't possibly be!　(What a bunch of people!)

　Yuto knows that these Julians have changed........
　It's similar to the power that the dark night leopards we fought before gained by being planted with a demon seed by the count, but in fact it's a completely different substitute.
　The threat and the level of danger are incomparable.
　They can no longer be called human or demon.
　This is one of the factors that made Yujin's battle in the demon world a difficult one.



　O'Sullivan raises his eyebrows at this Yuto's words.

''What ... what ... what?　How do you know all this?　Who the hell are you, really?

　Even the intuitive O'Sullivan, as expected, had doubts about Yuto. But either way, he snickered as if to say that it wouldn't be a problem.

''Well, okay, we're going to die here anyway, so...!

　O'Sullivan's spiritual demonic power erupted, and Yuto's face tightened.
　At the same time, Julian and Dobelk leapt to the heavyweight seat of the Shitennji. As if they had realized the folly of dealing with Yuto any longer, their vicious killing spirit was directed at the center of Shitenji.

''Sheesh...!

　It was an awkward situation for Yuto.
　Up until now, he had been trying to draw the three of them together so that this wouldn't happen, and if someone tried to abandon him and go to the Shitenji heavyweight seat, he was going to get there and strike a blow.
　No, rather, that was exactly how Yuto had assembled the fight.
　He would provoke them and draw them to himself, but the time to deliver a strong counterattack was when he aimed at the heavyweight seat. It may seem contradictory, but Yuto thought that this was the most effective way to buy time and inflict the most effective wounds when dealing with these three men.
　However, Yuto cannot see everything, either.
　He couldn't imagine that the enemy would turn into a "demon".
　With O'Sullivan in his pocket, Masato is in a bad position. As a result, he was unable to taunt O'Sullivan into coming to his aid.

"Yuto!　I told you it's a bad habit of yours to try to do everything on your own!

(Huh?!)

　The wind crossed Yuuto's ears, and the scolding voice of a girl he knew well and who was supreme rang out.
Then, out of Yuto's field of view........through O'Sullivan, the two girls can be seen.
　They were positioned with Marion in the front and Mizuho in the back, which was the same formation as when he and Yuto had attacked the Dark Night No Leopard's stronghold, the dark castle of the Water Margin, with the three of them.

(That one!　(Marion-san, and even Mizuho-san!

　The two girls had already perfected their jutsu, and they found that they were ready to do nothing but activate it. As soon as Yuto saw eye to eye with Mizuho and Marion, that was enough to give him dozens more variations in his fighting style.

(Over there, Akera!　(Just in time!)

　In addition, Akera and the others, who had returned after reorganizing their forces, unleashed countless spirit arts on Julian and the others who were aiming at the center of Shitenji. For Julian and the others, even if each jutsu is insignificant, their movements will be slowed down if they are fired on like a gatling gun from two directions in a concentrated manner.

　And then.........the situation will move significantly.
　This is a situation that neither Yuto nor Julian and the others had anticipated.

　
　Yuto couldn't believe his eyes.
　This is because they know the threat of the ability holders who have successfully transformed into demons.
　Even though there was a backup attack by Meira and the others, and even though it was a false move, how much of a feat was it to bounce off the two ability holders who had turned into demons with a replica of the divine sword, Yuto wondered.
　Then.........the person who had accomplished it landed without a sound.

'Shall I join you? It's hard to read what will happen if it turns into a melee. Besides, I don't want to feel uncomfortable as a senior if I leave it to the youngsters any longer.

　The man holding the shining great sword dominated his brown hair and showed a fearless smile.
　
　One of the thirteen [Demon God Killers], a living legend with unparalleled strength in close combat.
　Now, Alfred Arkwright has entered the battle.
