My clone invades all realms

Chapter 10: A way to increase the energy bar has been found.

Luo Ya adjusted the position of the knife at his waist and strode towards the door ahead.

Everyone who came to participate in the selection process remained silent as they stepped into the territory of Wisteria Mountain.

Upon entering Wisteria Mountain, the crowd immediately dispersed, each person choosing a direction they believed in, their figures quickly disappearing into the dim depths of the forest.

Roya and Makomo didn't seem to feel any urgency. Instead, they strolled along a path as if they were on some kind of nighttime tour.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding light grew dimmer, and the fragrance of wisteria, which could repel ghosts, disappeared completely.

Luo Ya suddenly stopped and turned to look at a clump of bushes on his right.

"What's the meaning behind this friend following us?"

A distinct tremor came from the bushes, and then a pink-haired head peeked out.

The moment the girl saw Roya, a pink heart seemed to flash across her eyes. She quickly shook her head to shake off that inappropriate fantasy.

You can't blame her; Roja's face is indeed more attractive than most.

Makomo took a small step forward, subtly blocking Roya's path. Her usually gentle face now held a sharp edge that was hard for others to detect.

"How can you two walk together?!" The girl, completely oblivious to the change in atmosphere, blushed and asked in a questioning tone.

So what exactly are you blushing about?

Luo Ya rolled his eyes and said, "The final selection rules don't seem to stipulate that teams can't be formed, do they?"

"Oh, I see." The girl suddenly realized.

Roya reached out and grabbed Makomo's shoulder, pulling her along as they continued walking forward.

Hopeless.

That's absolutely idiot.

"Hey!" A loud shout suddenly came from behind, and the girl caught up: "My name is Kanroji Mitsuri, what's your name?"

She really is that infatuated girl.

Luo Ya no longer found Kanroji Mitsuri's attitude strange.

However, he had absolutely no interest in telling the other person his name.

It's common sense that boys need to learn to protect themselves when they're out in the world.

Makomo, who was standing next to her, breathed a sigh of relief. Roya glanced at her with a puzzled look, but didn't ask any further questions.

The two continued walking forward, quickly leaving Kanroji Mitsuri behind.

The light in the forest was getting dimmer and dimmer, and in the surrounding darkness, the sound of something moving quickly and rubbing against the branches and leaves could be heard from time to time.

Roya wasn't particularly interested in simply killing demons. His main purposes for coming here were twofold: first, to test his sword and verify the techniques in the swordsman's manual; and second, to kill the demons and ensure that Makomo wouldn't die here.

Roya glanced at Makomo beside him; this girl was actually quite strong.

The two had sparred countless times at Mount Sagiri, and Roya was well aware of her exact strength, though it was simply no match for his own.

However, if you compare her with the other swordsmen who entered Wisteria Mountain to participate in the selection, the number of people who can match her is definitely very small.

Just then.

A shadow suddenly darted out from the nearby woods. Roya took a step back and slightly shifted his body to the side, dodging the sudden attack.

A withered demon was lying on the ground, sticking out its tongue and drooling at Roya and Makomo.

"Human flesh! It's been so long since I've eaten human flesh!"

On that ugly face, greed was completely undisguised.

"Makomo, this one's for me, the next one's yours," Roya said, turning to Makomo.

Roya had no interest in taking on everything himself; after all, he couldn't protect Makomo forever, and she needed to fight for herself.

"Okay." Makomo nodded without hesitation, jumped onto a thick tree branch, found a comfortable spot to sit down, and swung her legs back and forth in the air.

She wasn't worried at all that anything would happen to Roya.

"Whoosh!" The demon could no longer restrain itself and launched an attack like a wild beast, but its movements were full of flaws in Roya's eyes. Roya easily dodged it with a simple turn, and at the same time, the hilt of his knife slammed hard into the back of the demon's head.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the evil spirit was slammed to the ground by the immense force, its mouth full of mud.

"So, don't be too hasty." Luo Ya took two small steps back, creating a safe distance.

The demon got up from the ground, shook its head, and narrowed its eyes as it looked at Roya. Something seemed off about the person in front of it.

However, the desire for human flesh quickly overwhelmed reason.

Roya gripped the hilt and slowly drew the Nichirin Blade from its sheath.

The evil spirits have charged forward again.

"Water Breathing." Roya's breathing rhythm changed.

"Type One: Azure!"

This is a sword move that uses stillness to control movement. On the surface, it appears calm and peaceful, but in reality, it contains a power as vast as the ocean.

Just as the demon's claws were about to touch Roya's body, a blue light flashed on the blade in Roya's hand, and he slashed out with his sword.

The demon's head flew high into the air, and its body, propelled by inertia, took two more steps forward before collapsing helplessly to the ground, where it and its head gradually turned into black ash and disappeared.

"So weak." Roya was somewhat dissatisfied. He lightly swung the sword, rubbing the blade against the hilt of the scabbard, and then sheathed the sword.

This demon is too weak; it's impossible for Roya to fully unleash the true power of this sword technique combined with his breathing method.

"Next..." Roya was about to say something to Makomo, who jumped down from the tree, but he suddenly stopped. After a moment, a bright smile bloomed on his face: "Give it to me."

Makomo tilted her head, looking at him with a puzzled expression: "What happened?"

"No," Luo Ya said, but he couldn't stop smiling, and the corners of his mouth stretched wider and wider.

Just now, the energy bar of the login device in his mind increased by one bar.

It turned out to be the case.

It turns out that slaying evil spirits increases your energy bar.

Roya's gaze swept into the dark depths of the forest, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "I've got all the ghosts in here covered!!"

Makomo was still full of doubt; it was the first time she had ever seen Roja so happy.

So what exactly happened?

Seeing that Luo Ya didn't seem inclined to explain, she didn't press the matter further.

"Let's go!" This time, Roya no longer strolled leisurely as before, but took a step and ran forward quickly.

Makomo paused for a moment, then immediately followed behind.

From the darkness in the distance came the faint sounds of fighting and shouts. Luo Ya immediately changed direction and ran directly toward the source of the noise, even though his path was blocked by dense bushes.

Luo Ya had no intention of taking a detour; he simply smashed through the bushes, which were as tall as a person, and rushed out.

Before him, a young boy participating in the trial lay sprawled on the ground in a sorry state. A demon was about to pounce on the boy when it heard the loud noise and instinctively turned its head away.

It only had time to see a flash of light.

"Waves!"

This is a purely offensive move; the moment it is unleashed, the sword strike can unleash a fierce attack like layers of waves.

The blade flashed and instantly severed the demon's neck, causing its head and body to turn to ashes as it fell.

The rescued boy breathed a long sigh of relief and was about to express his gratitude when he saw Roya and Makomo rushing forward impatiently, disappearing into the woods on the other side in the blink of an eye.

"Ah..." He stretched out his hand, opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

These two people...aren't they here to rescue him?
