Pluto's Banquet - Allies of Shadows

On the ground floor of Yingfeng Hall, standing in front of Donghua, Laila, and Feres was Hadesa Singhisara wearing a dark purple tube top dress and high-heeled sandals.

As if waiting for them to speak first, Pluto did not speak.

"...Master Pluto, hello."

Laila greeted awkwardly.

"Who allowed you to come here?"

Singisara asked, and energy began to gather on her body.

"Sara, we just felt that there seemed to be some kind of terrifying existence under the Yingfeng Temple a while ago, so we decided to come down today to take a look."

Donghua explained.

"So in order to come down and take a look today, even the end point of the teleportation magic is prepared, and I didn't think about telling me."

Singhisara said.

"...This is indeed our negligence, there will be no next time."

Leila responded.

"Yeah, there really won't be a next time."

Hingisara repeated the sentence.

"Get out of the way!"

Suddenly, Ferris shouted loudly, and Lila and Donghua subconsciously jumped back, avoiding a slash directly in front of them.

At this moment, an epee emitting blue light, with thorny black metal as the main body, light blue crystal inlaid on the hilt, and a hollow design on the blade appeared in Singisara's hand.

"Since you want to touch the darkness so much, then merge into the darkness too. 'Lost Diffusion'!"

After speaking, Singisara's body released a pitch-black magical substance, dyeing the previously brightened place black again.Because the other places were originally pitch black, Laila and the others didn't know how fast these substances spread.

"Uh......"

"strength......"

"So sad......"

The three of them slumped on the ground one after another, their bodies emitting a light purple shimmer.

Although Pluto's current expression could not be seen, the epee emitting light blue light was indeed raised above their heads.

"Be the food of darkness..."

The moment Pluto swung his knife after saying these words, Laila, Donghua, and Fei Leisi glowed white, then disappeared into the darkness, and reappeared in the hall on the first floor of Yingfeng Temple.

"Ahem! Saved!"

"It was really dangerous just now... Isn't your 'profound bond' only one coordinate?"

"I set the coordinates in the hall the moment the transmission was completed."

Leila said.

"...Hey, what's the matter with you guys?"

Tilea, who was standing around them, asked, and Fujika and Kruya were also surprised by what happened now.

"Below, there are things we dare not look at below. Sarah sauce is angry, she just wanted us to..."

Ferris said in pain, covering her head.

"How could this be... wait a minute! That is to say, the mission sent by Hades to Fujika has been completed?"

Kuruya said loudly.

"What mission?"

Lila asked, but at this moment the pattern representing the Pluto symbol under their feet glowed, and the six of them were teleported again before they could react.

"Welcome Tilea, Kuruya, Fujika, Donghua, Laila, Ferris welcome back..."

In the pitch-black space, six people heard voices they were all too familiar with.

The perspective changed to other places in the underworld. Henami was still on her way in the woodland of doomsday. When she walked to the fork in the road according to what the nun said before and wanted to go in the direction marked by road signs, the fog around her suddenly began to dissipate rapidly.

The dense light spots like fireflies emit light of different colors floating in the air, if not in a hurry, Hanami might stop here for a while.But at the same time as the fog cleared and there were two more people who appeared near her.

"Nice to see you again, Hanami-Miss Hanabi. I'm here to tell you good news. Your story will be 'rewritten' next."

Said Chikali, who was wearing a blood-red robe with a black and gold spiked lace trim on the front, gloves of the same style, trousers, leather boots, and a wizard hat.Standing beside her was Ellie in a dark gold ninja suit, and behind them stood three strange creatures.

They have two raptor-like claws, a half-skeleton tail, three pairs of ribs exposed on the chest, two shadow crystal clusters on the shoulders, and a long horn curving back on each side of the eel-like head. Mouth, but there are four band-shaped eyes that emit dim gray light, but they only emit light, and you can't see things like pupils at all. There are a pair of wings on the back with only skeletons left, and the whole body is covered with irregular gray. The black body is sometimes as insubstantial as smoke, and sometimes it looks as hard as metal.

"Yeah, but I don't think that's good news."

As she said that, the bow given to her by Pluto appeared in Hanami's hand.The black and brown arms are decorated with a pair of dragon heads and wings on each side.

"Hmph~ Baiwu Ghost, go play with her."

Chikali gave an order, and the three creatures called Hundred Mist Ghosts standing behind her immediately turned into three clouds of mist and flew towards Hanami.And the three arrows with flaming arrows also flew towards the three clouds of mist, and exploded the moment they touched them.

The explosion created a wall of flame and smoke that stood between Hanami and Chicari and Ellie.But without a moment's pause, a huge tomahawk suddenly fell from the flames, just missing Henami.And the fire and smoke quickly began to gather into three Baiwu ghosts, except for the one holding the battle axe, the other two were holding double knives and a pistol respectively.

A new round of attacks began, and the Baiwu ghost with two knives gradually disappeared, the one with a gun spread its bone wings and flew into the air, and the one with a battle ax slashed at Hanami again.

This time, the bow resisted the battle axe.With a crisp sound, the battle ax was blown away, and the direction was still where Chikali was standing.

"cut!"

After Ellie complained, she drew her knife and chopped off the battle axe.

The Baiwu ghost here was also repelled by the shock, and Hanami shot a rocket at the Baiwu ghost in the air, and the Baiwu ghost who was about to dive and attack in the air turned into a big fireball again.And Baiwugui, who disappeared before, appeared behind Hanami, and when it was about to slash Hanami's body with a knife, an arrow pierced through its head. Although physical attacks basically had no effect on Baiwugui, During the period when Mist reorganized its head, Hanami had already distanced herself from the three Hundred Mist Ghosts.

Pop, pop, pop...

With Chikali's applause not far away, the three Baiwu ghosts also disappeared.

"As expected of Ms. Henami, she can skillfully use her own weapons in such a short period of time. But because the time is limited, let's hurry to the next step."

As she said that, a staff with a snake head and a pair of horns appeared in Chikali's hand.The snake's eyes were still glowing dark red.

Although she didn't know how Chicari would deal with her, Hanami shot an arrow in Chicari's direction first.

Ellie drew her knife again, but when her knife hit the arrow, it flashed a blinding white light.

"Ahhh!"

"Uh!"

The eyes of the two were shaken uncomfortably.

"Damn it, you actually use this method!"

Ellie rubbed her eyes and complained.

"Ukne, Biludio, Ulchidis, let me know when you find her!"

Chicari used the dark mist stone to order her subordinates to find Chicari.

Looking back to Yingfeng Hall, there is a silver-white light circle under the feet of the seven people, and everyone can see each other.

"Let's play a game, Donghua, Laila, Ferris, as long as you can persist in fighting with me for 30 minutes without falling, I will not execute you. And Tileia, Kuruya, Fujika, you can Choose to help them or watch from the sidelines, now!"

An hourglass filled with red liquid appeared in Singisara's hand and threw it into the air.The hourglass gradually grew several times larger in the air and then hovered, the countdown officially began.

"Master, what's wrong with you? After returning from the mortal world, you suddenly seem to be a different person. Although I don't know what we shouldn't know, but according to my intuition, you should have more things now." Is there something important to do?"

Tilia said loudly.

Pluto walked up to her and touched her head with his hand.

"Master...uh!"

Unsuspecting, Tilea was pierced through the stomach with the sword of Hades. When the sword was pulled out, Tilea's stomach didn't even have a wound.However, she fell weakly to the ground.

"It's true that things over there are more important, but now I still have some time to deal with chores."

"Hingi Sara!"

Seeing her daughter collapsed, Donghua couldn't restrain her emotions and rushed towards Pluto.

With the sound of metal colliding, the two people also looked at each other.

"Don't worry, I just took away a lot of her strength."

Pluto said.

Donghua didn't speak, and white linear patterns appeared on the light blue thin blade of her knife.Then frost began to appear where it came into contact with Pluto's sword, and the frost quickly froze Pluto's sword and her hands, and continued to spread.

Pluto quickly distanced himself from Donghua, and the speed at which the frost spread slowed down.Pluto's body began to release power outward, and soon the ice began to crumble.

"Even so, don't you want to be serious?"

Pluto asked.

"Really, do you really think so?"

Donghua asked back.

At this time, Pluto's sword fell to the ground. It was not Pluto's intention, but fell off.

"Don't forget the power of this sword of mine, come on, Laila, Ferris!"

Following Donghua's order, the other two also started fighting.

The four winds entangled Pluto's limbs, and a silver magic circle appeared above Pluto's head.A silver-white light shot down from inside.

"Yahahahahah!"

Pluto, who was irradiated by the white light, screamed in pain, and then his body gradually disappeared, and the heavy sword that fell on the ground also disappeared.

Donghua quickly ran to Tilea's side.

"Cheer up girls, sorry to get you involved."

"Uh, I'm just a little weak. Why did Mommy come down there?"

Tilea asked, while Leila was also asking Fujika on the other side.

"What is the task you mentioned just now? Although it is a task given to you by Pluto, can you tell me?"

"Master, she will let me... monitor Miss Laila's every move, and if Miss Laila does anything contrary to..."

Before Fujika finished speaking, everyone felt some kind of gathering power again.

"The hourglass hasn't disappeared yet, and the halo of light under our feet is still there."

Kuruya looked around while talking.

"...Aren't you very reluctant to use 'Tianshuo', but today you use this skill on me."

Near the line made of purple mist, Pluto reappeared.

"The countdown is not over yet, if you relax your vigilance, you will die."

The epee appeared again in his hand, and the battle continued.

At this moment, Chikali and Ellie were walking on the "Firefly Plain" in the woodland of doomsday, and a voice came from the Mist Stone.

"Master Chikali, this is Biludio, the target is moving towards the gate of the 'Valley of Unknown'."

"Okay, don't let her go, we'll be right there."

Chikali responded.

"Okay, it's finally about to officially start. Are you a little excited~"

Yumi asked with a smile.

"I just wanted to quickly end this little episode, feeling like I was missing something more important right now."

"Well, since I promised to accompany you to the end, the length of time is of course up to you~"

On Hanami's side, behind her is a gate made of pitch-black metal built on the side of the mountain, and in front of her is a guy with a strange shape.It has slender arms and legs, and its feet seem to be stepping on flowers. It is funny that there are many leaves spreading out.The head is surrounded by leaves like a pile of golden plants, and the face cannot be seen at all, and there is a crown on the head.In addition, there are a pair of butterfly wings on its back.

"Hello, Hanami-Miss Hanabi. I am Viludio, the senior adjutant of Lord Chicari, 'Prayer of the Forest'. I'm sorry, but you can't go there until my master comes."

Biludio said.

"But it seems that your master didn't ask you to attack me actively, did he?"

Hanami asked.

"......Yes."

Biludio responded awkwardly.

"Then let's talk. For example, I want to know what these firefly-like light spots are, and where do they fly?"

"Ah, they're beautiful. They can't come in through the 'gate' and reshape their bodies like you can, so we collect these fragile souls and use their remaining power as a resource."

"Why don't you see it in other places in the underworld?"

"Maybe it's because of the special situation here. After all, there's that forest of crosses in front of us, hahaha!"

Feeling that Biludio didn't intend to tell her the whole truth, Hanami didn't want to delve into this topic any more, and she also saw Chikali and Ellie not far away.

"Back off, Biludio."

Chikali said.Ellie suddenly appeared behind Henami and put a pair of knives on her neck.

Biludio also obeyed the master's order, and his body turned into a pair of leaves scattered all over the ground and disappeared.

At this moment, a dark staff with a strange snake head with two horns appeared on the top of Chikali's hand.The snake's eyes were still glowing dark red.And her other hand was on Henami's forehead.

"Dream bond~"

As soon as Chikali finished speaking, Hanami suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a small vortex that swirled inward.

"Okay, now it's our turn, Meng Encounter~"

Saying that, Chikali and Ellie were sucked into the vortex, and then the vortex disappeared.

The two reappeared in a dark forest, and the crows of crows could be heard from time to time.

"It's the first time to experience your 'Dream Encounter', and it feels pretty good here."

Ellie said so but Chikali didn't think so.

"How...it shouldn't be like this!"

Seeing Chikali talking, the hand holding the staff was shaking, Ellie hurried over.

"Any questions?"

"Here is... my own dream."

Ellie's eyes widened after hearing Chicari's words.

The author has something to say:

Next episode preview:

Allie: "Hey, Chicari. Hey! Come on!"

Chikali: "...Uh? Don't call me suddenly, you're scaring me."

Ellie: "It's been a mess since just now."

Chikali: "You think too much, I'm fine..."

Ellie: "Well, your clothes are unbuttoned."

Chikali: "Ah, thank you...you lied to me, you didn't open it at all!"

Ellie: "It's completely out of shape...well, please watch the next episode of "Pluto's Dinner: Shadow Alliance", Chapter 20, Part [-] of the Solo Shadow"
