Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

"No.96...Black Mist..."

"Yes, yes, this is my real name, and now..."

Hearing the other party read out his real name, Black Mist grinned:

"Come on stage, my clone [No. 96] is the messenger of the pitch-black darkness [Black Mist]."

As if receiving an order from the main body, the card in Sakura's hand began to reveal its true form in mid-air.

The first thing that appeared was black gelatinous water droplets, which seemed to be the result of the accumulation of all the pollution and despair in the world to appear so dark.

The liquid extended in four directions and grew limbs, sharp teeth opened in the chest, and claws grew on the hands.

It was exactly the image on the card.

At the same time, Sakura felt an indescribable throbbing in her heart.

This made her eyes become empty and lifeless, and her thoughts gradually slowed down and sank... until she finally stopped thinking completely.

Compared to the scene in front of him, Tomoyo was obviously more concerned about the condition of his companions.

From a while ago, Sakura stopped responding to external situations, as if... she had become a puppet.

Even she herself was shocked by the idea.

"Sakura?"

Tomoyo approached Sakura and waved her arms, trying to see her detailed condition.

"It's no use. Your voice won't reach her."

Black Mist gave a wicked smile.

At this point, it has completely stopped pretending, with an expression that says 'I'm the mastermind behind this' written all over its face.

Tomoyo asked loudly, "Sure enough, all this is related to it. What did you do to Sakura?"

"What has been done, what has not been done..."

Having said that, Black Mist turned around and focused his attention back on the giant sword in the center of the square.

"But what will happen next is uncertain. Go, my other half, and become one with Hope!"

As if receiving an order, the black creature in mid-air shot out tentacles towards the giant sword.

The giant sword seemed to feel threatened.

After a transformation, he turned into a warrior five or six meters tall.

The white wings and yellow armor are completely different from the opposing black creatures.

If the black fog represents dark despair, then the white figure symbolizes hope.

Faced with several attacking tentacles, the yellow and white warrior swung his sword and cut them all off.

"Tsk, as expected of Hope, he's really hard to deal with..."

As he spoke, Kurogiri turned to look at Sakura: "So what if we use this?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the numbers '96' appeared on Sakura's arm.

At this moment, she seemed to be out of control. She took out two cards and used them on Hope.

"Wind", "Tree"

In an instant, the ground cracked and countless vines grew wildly from the ground.

Hope sensed danger and flew upwards to hide, but he didn't know he fell into another trap.

Although there are no vines above, there is air flowing.

The green wind wrapped around Hope tightly like a silk thread.

"Hahahaha—I finally caught you!"

Immediately afterwards, the vines on the ground grew upwards and firmly locked onto Hope's toes.

The power of the two cards was so strong that even Hope was trapped easily.

Black Mist was slightly moved, and then continued to work: "Now, come on, my half body."

As he spoke, the black monster that was opposing Hope shot out its tentacles again.

Now that Hope was unable to move, he was hit directly by the dark tentacles.

But the attack was not over yet. The black tentacle was like a syringe, injecting its own body into Hope's body bit by bit.

"What on earth are you...going to do?"

Tomoyo no longer understands the current situation.

Originally, I just thought this was a simple journey to capture the Clow Cards.

But when Sakura got the card, things took a completely different direction.

Although I don't know what the guy who calls himself "Black Mist" is doing, one thing is certain.

The guy who tricked the two of them here and turned Sakura into this state is undoubtedly a bad guy.

Kurogiri responded to Chiyo: "It's different when there are audiences. Look at this new body. Isn't it good?"

The black creature injected all the liquid that constituted itself into Hope's body.

At this moment, the two are completely integrated.

The originally pure white wings began to darken, and the golden decorations on the body were dyed black.

What appeared before Chize was a humanoid monster filled with despair.

"This is?"

"No.98 Hopeless Emperor, Hopeless, is also my new half."

Now there is no need to control it, so just remove the effects of the Wind and Tree cards.

Usually, Sakura catches the card after using it.

But at this moment she had no such intention and let them fall from her body after use.

At the critical moment, it was Tomoyo who caught both cards.

And using so many cards continuously along the way, and even using two cards at the same time just now, this is undoubtedly a huge consumption of Sakura's magic power.

Under normal circumstances, she would probably have fainted from exhaustion.

But now Sakura just staggered for a while and then stood firm again.

Looking at the other person's dilated pupils, Chishi couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

She could feel that Sakura must be very tired now.

And the culprit behind all this is myself.

If I hadn't told Sakura the information I had discovered, if I hadn't asked her to explore the campus together, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

Thinking of this, she made up her mind and asked the black fog:

"Your goal should have been achieved, so please at least let Sakura go."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about this guy..."

Black Mist held his chin up as if thinking: "My goal has been achieved, and this guy seems to have used up all his strength. It would be a waste of effort to keep him with me..."

With every additional word, Zhishi's face became happier.

"The current Sakura can no longer help you, so please change her back to her original form."

After hearing such a request, Kuroki's thoughtful expression finally changed.

But a more sinister smile: "But I refuse."

“Eh… why?”

Tomoyo couldn't believe it.

He had clearly intended to let Sakura go, but now he suddenly changed his mind.

“Hehehe——”

Black Mist laughed wildly and taunted: "What a naive human being, from the beginning to the end, you still put your hope on a villain like me."

Looking at the other party's teasing eyes, Zhishi's first thought was:

This is fooling yourself.

But it is unimaginable that a ghost that has achieved its goal would still play tricks on ordinary people.

What a bad character this is.

The other party was right about one thing, and that was that we should never pin our hopes on it.

But what else can be done?

I don't have Sakura's magical abilities, if I rely on myself...

"Oh, I've thought of something more interesting..."

Black Mist waved his hand and said, "The audience is indispensable for the demonstration. Feel lucky, because you will witness this powerful force!"

Under the command of the black fog, the Emperor of Despair began to act.

In the face of absolute power, any resistance is futile.

"what--"

The Emperor of Despair grabbed a girl in each hand.

After doing all this, Black Mist looked at the dark dome again.

"Let's go."

After saying that, it turned into a dark light and flew into the sky. At the same time, the Emperor of Despair also flapped his wings and took off.

Two figures actually broke through this barrier and flew straight to the ground.
