Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

With one win and one loss, the hope that Huihui could win the whole game was shattered.

And for some reason, Kazuma had a strange feeling of unease.

Then he looked at his companion beside him—Darkness.

At this moment, the heavy one-handed sword was carried on her back, at her own request.

But having walked all this way, Kazuma asked, "It must be very heavy, right? It's okay if you rest for a while."

Darkness refused: "I have no problem with it at all, but it would be bad to be late for the agreed time, so let's go!"

Left with no other choice, Kazuma had to follow.

During this time, he stared at the other person's back. Could this guy be getting excited over just carrying a little weight?

It shouldn't be that extreme, right?

Before long, the two arrived at the agreed place, where Kirito and the petite figure hidden under the black cloak had been waiting for a long time.

Is that our opponent this time?

Hiding under the cloak, what an arrogant fellow.

Now that they had arrived, Kazuma greeted Darkness, saying, "You can put it down now."

“...Oh.” After a moment of hesitation, Darkness threw the Explainer to the ground, making a heavy thud.

But there seemed to be a hint of reluctance in her eyes... I hope it's just my imagination.

Kirito quickly reminded him, "Be careful! What if you break it?"

Kazuma responded, "It's time to end this competition rather than dealing with that kind of thing."

After calming himself down, Kirito gave a confident smile: "You're right, it's time to end this."

"But before that, I need to introduce your opponent this time!"

As he spoke, Kirito reached out to pull the cloak off the person next to him: "Hey, how long are you going to keep wearing that kind of thing? It's time to take it off."

But the girl's delicate voice inside the cloak was somewhat stubborn: "But, but it's embarrassing to appear in front of others looking like this..."

Hearing their conversation, Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought this was some formidable warrior, but now it seems she's just an innocent little girl. What's there to be afraid of?

Looking at Darkness beside him, whose height was even greater than his own, gave him a great sense of security, compared to the pure middle school student's physique opposite him.

He and Zhen don't take them seriously at all.

Then Kirito ripped off the cloak, revealing the girl's true face.

She had short purple hair with a pair of yellow horns at the front, and a pair of small wings above her lower back. Aside from that, her exposed chest was covered by breast petals...

Kazuma can no longer see anyone else.

He pointed at the other person, his voice trembling with excitement, and exclaimed, "A... a succubus?"

"No, don't underestimate this guy. He's the leader of the evil forces, known as Magic Maple Syrup!" Kirito corrected.

"Huh? The leader of the evil forces?" Kazuma was taken aback, as if his mind hadn't quite caught up.

Then he looked at the girl in disbelief: "Her?"

At this moment, Maple Syrup, feeling ashamed of her attire and the intense gaze, hid behind Kirito, treating the person in front of her like a building to avoid others.

If someone who looks so shy is the leader of evil forces, who would believe it if you told them?

Whether you believe it or not is your business, but everything I've said is true.

Kazuma looked incredulous: "You're saying she's the leader of evil forces? Then wouldn't I be the legendary Demon King?"

However, since the other party is not a succubus, then we don't need to hold back.

"Darkness, teach her a lesson. Isn't it only right for a Knight of the Cross to teach evil a lesson?"

“Of course!” Darkness said solemnly, “It is my duty to fight evil.”

Wu Tina panicked: "Um... the title was taken without my permission, I'm a victim too!"

"If you don't do bad things, why would anyone give you such a title?"

“This…” Wu Tina was speechless.

Thinking about it, I realized that I had indeed done a lot of things under duress, and now I really had no way to defend myself.

At that moment, Kirito gave her a reassuring look, then patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, even if you bully magical girls, collude with evil forces, and do all sorts of bad things... I will always support you."

I don't need that kind of support!

Darkness became even more enraged after these words were spoken: "I never expected that you, at such a young age, would do so many outrageous things. Now you can't be allowed to live!"

She drew her longsword and pointed it at the magical maple syrup: "Prepare yourself!"

After saying that, he rushed off, his heavy boots making a dull thud on the grass.

"But fighting is a bad thing..."

"What are you saying on the battlefield?"

Just as the opponent rushed forward and swung her sword, Maple Sugar was forced to take a half step back, and swung her star whip staff at the ground.

The next moment, a vine grew rapidly in the grass and began to grow towards Darkness's face.

Instead of slashing downwards, Darkness changed to slashing diagonally, and the attacking vine was split in two.

"Not bad, but you're still far from being able to surpass me!"
