Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

It really was a counter-kill.

"Appear, Emperor Sutoku!"

Yagami Tsukasa gritted his teeth and summoned Emperor Sutoku once again. This time, his main body also began to move simultaneously, rushing towards the esper's main body behind the mud monster from both sides.

"Oh? Attacking my main body directly? As expected of 'Kira'…"

The mysterious man said softly, then shook his head and whispered.

"Unfortunately, all this is just futile resistance."

"Fusion, Mire Horror."

Seeing the dark green slime monster disappear, and the other party's dark green robe, along with the few exposed areas of skin, instantly turn into a thick swamp, Yagami Tsukasa's pupils shrank in shock.

"He can even fuse?"

The first stage of an esper is to skillfully master the ability to materialize the soul, reaching the point where they can summon it immediately without needing to recite the complete release incantation.

The second stage is mastering the technique of forming psychic defenses.

Based on the extended techniques of the second stage, they can create small accessories formed from psychic power, allowing themselves to remain in a state of near-release, so they can form a defense at the fastest speed when danger arises.

The third stage is naturally fusion.

And the fourth stage is Domain Expansion.

Currently, the only espers who have mastered Domain Expansion are Yozora, Miko Yotsuya, and Rio Futaba, as well as Rokka Sakurakawa, who can't fully control her own Domain.

Where did this enemy come from?!

To be cautious, Yagami Tsukasa stopped and chose to have his Soul Incarnation, Emperor Sutoku, attack first.

As expected… just like when attacking the opponent's Soul Incarnation, Emperor Sutoku was restrained once again, then directly enveloped in the dark green mud, and finally crushed.

"Damn it…"

Looking at the enemy standing there, Yagami Tsukasa gritted his teeth, a look of unwillingness appearing in his eyes.

Even with his intellect, he couldn't think of a way to achieve victory.

If he had known he would be facing such an enemy, he should have asked L for a few hand grenades to compensate for his lack of attack power.

Just then, Yagami Tsukasa heard a faint sigh.

"Sigh…"

He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Yozora had put Kitagawa Kaimu down from his back, a hint of undisguised disappointment in his black eyes.

Then, Yozora looked at Yagami Tsukasa, revealing a smile that didn't match his expression, carrying a hint of encouragement.

"It's okay, you've already done very well."

These words, combined with Yozora's slightly disappointed expression, directly caused over ten thousand points of true damage to Yagami Tsukasa's self-esteem.

"No… this isn't my limit…"

If it were someone else, the arrogant Yagami Tsukasa would simply scoff.

But precisely because he acknowledged Yozora, believing the other party had the right to evaluate him, he now felt the disappointed look on the other's face was like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into his arrogant self-esteem.

"I can do more… without relying on anyone's power, but my own…"

Yagami Tsukasa could accept Yozora's help, but he couldn't accept being like a stray dog, waiting for Yozora to save the day after losing so thoroughly.

Yagami Tsukasa's scarlet eyes flashed with psychic energy, staring intently at the man in the dark green robe, a huge tengu phantom appearing behind him, the psychic energy fluctuations around him becoming increasingly intense.

"Domain Expansion…"

Under the dual stimulation of self-esteem and the desire to not disappoint Yozora, Yagami Tsukasa, already exceptionally gifted in psychic abilities, finally broke through once again.

"Crow Tengu."

The moment these three words were spoken, a series of unsettling crow calls suddenly echoed throughout the originally empty convention hall.

Looking at the ground, dozens upon hundreds of pitch-black crows were approaching from all directions.

A pitch-black feather slowly fluttered down, and the man in the dark green robe was momentarily dazed. When he regained his senses, he saw Yagami Tsukasa had already approached him.

"Useless…"

His body twisted, and dark green mud spread out.

But in the next second, Yagami Tsukasa's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, replaced by a black crow on the ground.

"Die."

Yagami Tsukasa's voice rang out from behind the man, followed by a sharp black claw directly piercing his left chest.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, as the man coughed up a mouthful of blood, he raised his hands and tightly gripped Yagami Tsukasa's wrist that had pierced his chest, uttering a twisted, fanatical phrase that even made Yagami Tsukasa's heart sink.

"I will become the first sacrifice."

"Tsukasa!"

Seeing the flames erupting from the mysterious man's robe, Yozora, possessing reflexes beyond ordinary people, immediately responded.

It was too late to deploy his Domain.

Two ghostly hands, one pale and one black, appeared simultaneously, one pulling Yagami Tsukasa out of the restraint, while the other pale ghostly hand was held in a virtual grip, protecting Yagami Tsukasa within.

As for Yozora himself, his body instantly ignited with black flames, and his wide black trench coat directly protected Kitagawa Kaimu in his arms.

"Bang!!!"

Those who had just fled the convention hall on the street heard the deafening explosion and couldn't help but look up, only to see the entire building shake a few times before rapidly collapsing.

Falling rubble and bricks blocked the sunlight in the sky. Faced with the unexpected, sudden disaster, the pedestrians on the street instantly froze.

"Domain Expansion!"

At this critical moment, the scene before everyone's eyes suddenly flickered, and the sky was no longer bright and warm sunlight, but a dark red moon.

And the building that had originally collapsed was now standing there perfectly intact.

Before the crowd could react, only about ten seconds passed. The red moon in the sky disappeared, and what appeared before them was a ruined street and debris everywhere.

"Finally made it..."

At this moment, in an unnoticed, remote corner, Ye Xing, who had transformed into his "Kamen Rider" form, nodded in approval as he looked at the unharmed pedestrians on the street.

"Miumi, are you alright?"

Hearing Ye Xing's question, Kitagawa Miumi didn't answer. Her eyes were fixed on him, scrutinizing his outfit, her eyes almost sparkling with admiration.

"It's really Kamen Rider… He's so cool!"

Ye Xing was speechless, reaching out to gently knock Kitagawa Miumi on the head.

"Stop daydreaming."

It was normal, actually. Although Kitagawa Miumi had more or less guessed it, this was the first time she had personally witnessed Ye Xing's transformation. The shock of seeing "Kamen Rider" up close was incomparable to videos, photos, or figures.

Moreover, there was the exclusive filter of a lover.

"Ye Xing, are you okay?"

Hearing the voice coming from the alleyway, Ye Xing looked up and saw Yagami Light, whose brown hair was disheveled and whose handsome face was stained with dust. Even his clothes were torn in several places, making him look disheveled. He couldn't help but chuckle and tease him.

"You've been blown to bits yourself, and you're still worried about me? Are you hurt?"

Yagami Light looked down at his clothes and couldn't help but smile.

"I'm fine, just looking a little scruffy. Thanks to your two demon hands for helping me block the direct impact of the explosion, otherwise… I'm afraid I would have been torn to pieces."

After saying this, Yagami Light looked at the panicked crowd in the distance and the building that had become a ruin, narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly said.

"To carry a bomb of this magnitude… that guy… never intended to leave alive…"

A building of dozens of floors, located in the bustling area of Shibuya, collapsed. The number of victims… was probably unimaginable, but Ye Xing and Yagami Light, considering that Kitagawa Miumi was nearby, tacitly didn't mention it.

In that situation, Ye Xing had two choices.

First, regardless of anything else, directly unleash the domain of Shinjō Taoma. It would likely be too late, but it was also possible that it wouldn't be. If it wasn't too late, the explosion wouldn't have happened in the real world.

But if it was too late, not to mention him and Yagami Light, Kitagawa Miumi would definitely die.

The second option was to prioritize ensuring the safety of Yagami Light and Kitagawa Miumi, and then unleash that domain that merged with the Reverse Side, trying to allow more innocent people to survive.

Whether it was due to his consistent style of doing things, or considering the safest option, the second choice was better.

Of course, with Ye Xing's personality, he wouldn't fall into a moral dilemma because of this so-called trolley problem, wondering if betting on it at the time would have prevented any casualties?

Impossible.

Whoever tied people to the tracks is responsible, whoever bombed the building is the culprit.

Moral dilemma? Feeling guilty for saving fewer people?

There's no such thing, that's pure nonsense. Even if he could do it again ten thousand times, Ye Xing would definitely choose the second method.

He would protect the lives of innocent people, provided that the people he cared about were absolutely safe.

…

That night, Ye Xing, who was in a hotel room, was having an online video conference with L and Yagami Light.

"I investigated the surveillance footage of that building…"

L, in the screen, chewed on a piece of chocolate and slowly said.

"That guy was dressed like that from the moment he entered the venue, and he went in right at the beginning. He didn't show anything strange during that time. The security check at the entrance failed to detect the explosives he was carrying. I don't know if it's because of his spiritual ability or something else."

"So… he was waiting there early?"

Yagami Light frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

"But… all of that guy's abilities seem to be specifically targeted at me. Besides, how did he know that I would be there today? Is it just a coincidence… Judging from the risk of being discovered while carrying explosives… it shouldn't be like that, and he even knows the name of my Soul's True Form."

"Too bad."

L sighed slightly.

"Because he was wearing a mask and hood the whole time, the surveillance couldn't see his real face, otherwise…"

"It seems like it's time for Kyoto's number one eroge shooter to take action."

Ye Xing suddenly interrupted L and smiled at Kitagawa Miumi, who was sitting beside him, looking at him with admiration.

"My dear, bring me paper and pen."

"Okay."

Kitagawa Miumi nodded very obediently, ran to the side to get paper and pen, and then continued to sit on the sofa, very focused, staring at Ye Xing's profile with a smile.

She found that Ye Xing, when he was serious, seemed to be even more handsome than usual, and much more so.

The filter of a top-tier love brain is so terrifying.

After taking the paper and pen, Ye Xing's right hand moved very quickly. After a dozen seconds, he raised the paper, pointed to the face on it, and smiled.

"This is the real face of the criminal."

Chapter 362 An Enemy That Shouldn't Exist, The First Day of Second Year of High School

L and Yagami Light, who were having a video conference on the computer, couldn't help but show surprise.

"You drew it so vividly? Wait a minute, you can also draw?"

Ye Xing waved his hand and smiled.

"I know a little."

L gave a timely retort.

"This is not just a little, is it? The police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department who specialize in drawing criminal portraits probably can't draw this carefully."

Yagami Light also followed up with a question.
