Anime: Desolate Darkness

Bingchuan Cheng was eating noodles when the boss, who had finished his work, took off his apron, walked over and sat down opposite him.

"What's the big question today? Is it about the giant situation again?"

Facing the boss's question, Hikawa Makoto first finished the last mouthful of noodles in the bowl, then nodded while wiping his mouth, "Yeah, that's right."

"And this time it appeared very close to here, right next to Sobu High School."

The distance between Sobu High School and this noodle shop is only about 7 kilometers. This distance is not far for humans, let alone a giant who has the ability to fly and can appear in various parts of the world in a day.

Hearing this, the middle-aged boss did not show any worry on his face, but just nodded calmly.

Watching Hikawa Makoto drink up the water in the teacup, he asked again, "Hikawa, in your opinion...are those giants really evil?"

Bingchuan Cheng was stunned, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

The scene fell into silence.

After a long silence, he raised his head again with a firm look in his eyes, "I don't know about the other giants, but I believe that the silver giant is definitely not an evil existence!"

He had investigated the opponent's first battle. He didn't believe that a guy who would not back down in the face of a game where he had no chance of winning would hurt the humans he had protected for no reason.

What's more important is that he witnessed with his own eyes the other party using his magical skills to single-handedly intercept several meteorites that were about to take away his own life, or even countless lives.

……

As night falls, it is as if a huge piece of black velvet is slowly spread out, covering the entire world.

The stars are inlaid in the endless sky like dazzling gems, flashing faint but firm light.

In the training hall's lounge, Kimura Takumi sat quietly on the sofa, staring intently at Nanamiya Chion in front of him. She was reporting to him in detail today's important intelligence about Mephilas and Dark Faust.

Kimura Takumi's face seems expressionless, but his heart is as turbulent as the vast ocean.

Of course, it was not the Mephilas or Dark Faust that caused this situation, but the gray cloud mentioned by Nanamiya Chion!

If I remember correctly, that was the ability of Dark Zagi----【Zaki Wave】, which released the darkness in his hands to release light that specifically treats Alien Beasts, Dark Faust and Dark Mephisto.

Combining everything that happened before, the conclusion he could get was that the other party was just like in the original book, intending to restore itself by devouring the strengthened Nexus, so now it was deliberately putting pressure on Nexus.

But if this is the case, there are too many doubts.

According to the information provided by Jet, the guy who resurrected it is most likely Dark Zagi.

With so much power, and the ability to resurrect a powerful being from another universe, is it really in a state that requires recovery?

If not, then what is the reason for it to let Dark Faust harass Nexus?

There are too many puzzles, even Kimura Takumi can't figure it out.

"Senior, what's wrong with you?"

Noticing that something was wrong with Kimura Takumi's expression, Nanamiya Chione asked curiously.

Kimura Takumi waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine.

The next day, Sobu High School was forced to suspend classes due to the appearance of Nexus and Mefilas. All teachers and students were not allowed to travel to and from the campus. They had to wait for notice from above to know when the school would reopen.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Takumi Kimura drove Nanamiya Tomoe and Yuba Lee to Tokyo.

The purpose of this visit was because Yuba Li was informed by an acquaintance that there was a new fighting women's group called "Valkyrie".

They held a bounty, and anyone who could defeat a designated player here would receive a huge bonus of 500 million.

As early as a week ago, Youba Li asked someone to sign up for him, and today is the day when the competition starts.

She originally planned to take a day off and come here by herself, but she didn't expect that after Kimura Takumi learned the news, he would drive her there personally.

In the car, Yuba Li asked the same question for the nth time.

"Kimura, can you really not count today as a day off?"

"Yeah, let's just let Qigong watch the battle. This can be considered an alternative way of teaching. So, you must not lose."

"We will win!" Yuba Li answered confidently.

Whether it's out of desire for the five million dollar prize or for the presence of two good friends, she can't lose this time!

"According to what Xiao Youba said, as the champion of the second level [intermediate] fighting competition in Li Dou, it should be easy for you to participate in the first level [lower] level competition, right?"

Facing Nanamiya Chione's innocent question, Yuba Lee responded solemnly: "In theory, it is true, but since they dare to offer a huge reward of 5 million, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to take it away easily."

Hearing this, Nanamiya Chion felt the same way.

Not long after, the three of them successfully arrived at an extremely secret underground fighting venue based on the information provided by Valkyrie's internal staff.

There are a lot of light tubes that are not turned on, making the entire environment slightly dim.

Although the venue is quite large, the layout is quite simple and clear. Except for the square arena in the center surrounded by four walls, the rest of the venue is open space.

After showing the three people around the stadium, the woman in kimono named Mitani Kana spoke up, "Due to some special reasons, the competition will not be held until 4 pm, so I can only trouble you to go somewhere else first."

"Of course, if you really don't want to wander around, I can arrange for you to go to the room inside to rest first."

At this time, Yuba Lee and Nanamiya Chion's eyes fell on Kimura Takumi's face behind them, as if asking for his opinion.

Their actions made Mitani Hanato look at Kimura Takumi.

Although she had seen it many times since they first met...

"Little Yuba, take a break here and prepare for the game. I'm taking Nanamiya to a place and we'll come back when the time comes."

"No problem. I just want to loosen up my muscles."

……

After separating from Yuba Lee, Kimura Takumi and he walked to a park.

On the swing in the park, a young man in a pure black suit had been waiting there for a long time.

He is none other than Hongo Kishima, the human transformed by the Mefilas!

As for why it was here, it was because Kimura cleverly used the contact information it left for Nanamiya Chione to make a warm appointment.

Noticing that Kimura Takumi had arrived, Hongo Kishima stood up, turned around, and with a polite smile, extended his right hand, "Hello, I'm Mefilas, you can also call me Hongo Kishima."

"Kimura Takumi." Kimura Takumi also stretched out his right hand and shook it without hesitation.
