Chapter 381: Dealing with Du'e
Faced with Du'e's sudden appearance, Uehara Shiroha seemed a little caught off guard.
Uehara Shiroha himself didn't expect that Du'e would appear at this critical juncture. The task of repairing the cracks must not have been completed yet. Now everyone was in trouble.
Before Uehara Shiroha could say anything, Ryouta next to him started complaining first.
"I've told you before, don't waste time here. You guys insisted on completing this crappy mission. Now you're blocked here. Let's see how you can get out."
Uehara Shiroha gave Ryouta a cold look.
"If we can't leave, then you can forget about leaving either. We're all in the same boat now."
Ryouta kept sighing beside him, and Uehara Shiroha whispered to his companions.
"Everyone, don't panic, delay the time. Try to deal with him for a while longer. Once the crack is repaired and we get the attributes from the mission reward, we should still be able to fight."
Uehara Shiroha wasn't clear about the rewards of other companions, but his own reward was that he could upgrade the Hōgyoku.
As long as the Hōgyoku could be upgraded to a higher level, even if Uehara Shiroha didn't have the Soul Slayer in his hand, he should be able to easily resolve the difficulties in front of them.
Uehara Shiroha decided to handle the situation alone, so he walked out and said to Du'e.
"We have no intention of becoming enemies with your Dawn organization. We're just trying to complete our own mission. We could have all stayed out of each other's way, but you insisted on taking our lives, so we had no choice but to do this."
After saying this, Uehara Shiroha took off the mask on his face.
The face revealed under the mask surprised all the masked people around. They never thought that the person they had been following for the past few days was actually Uehara Shiroha.
Du'e tilted the corner of his mouth slightly and said to Uehara Shiroha.
"You don't seem to have any right to negotiate with me. Your lives are in my hands. Life or death is just a matter of a word from me."
The other party obviously had no intention of talking to Uehara Shiroha. After all, his side was stronger. As long as he gave the order, Uehara Shiroha and others would be captured in an instant and fed to Dolph behind them on the spot.
Uehara Shiroha unconsciously took a few steps back, turned his head to look at Dolph, and then spoke.
"I advise you guys not to come over so easily, otherwise I won't be responsible for what the big guy behind me does."
After hearing this, Du'e burst into laughter.
"You think too highly of yourself. Dolph has devoured so many high-level Hollows that he's no longer an ordinary Hollow. Do you think you can do anything to him with just a few of you? I advise you to save your energy. It would be better to surrender as soon as possible, and you'll suffer less."
Uehara Shiroha frowned and said seriously.
"You can go ahead and give it a try. We're going to die anyway, so we might as well try our best to ruin your plan. We may not be able to kill Dolph together, but we can definitely make him suffer."
"I guess you've already used a lot of resources to feed Dolph. If he's seriously injured now, you should know how much energy it'll take for him to recover."
Du'e frowned immediately after hearing this. He knew that Uehara Shiroha wasn't trying to scare him.
Chapter 382: Buying Time for Companions
He also didn't want to waste resources on these people.
Du'e thought about it carefully for a long time, then asked, "Then we might as well talk about what you want. We can resolve it peacefully."
Ryouta stepped forward and said to Du'e, "What's the point of asking such questions? Don't you know what we want? Just let us go."
Du'e smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid that won't work. If I really let you go, even the brothers around me won't agree. Uehara Shiroha killed their leader. Do you think they'll let him go easily?"
Ryouta was about to continue speaking when Uehara Shiroha stopped him with his hand. Then Uehara Shiroha replied calmly, "I know we can't escape death, and I don't expect you to let us go, but I still want to make a small condition. It's easy to get us to surrender. Your people should withdraw now. After dark, we'll surrender naturally."
This request made by Uehara Shiroha made Du'e feel a little strange. At this moment, he didn't understand what Uehara Shiroha was planning.
A masked man nearby came forward and made a suggestion to Du'e, "Don't believe this kid's lies. If he runs away, it'll be more trouble than it's worth."
Du'e thought about it carefully. Uehara Shiroha seemed to be a very smart person, but now these people were all in his territory, and there was no other exit in this basement.
It was impossible for them to do anything to Dolph with just a few of them, so after thinking it over carefully, he agreed to Uehara Shiroha's request.
"I can give you some time until dark. After that, you just come out on your own. I don't want to bring people in to arrest you again. I hope you can keep your word, otherwise I'll make you die in an ugly way."
After saying that, Du'e waved his hand and walked out with his men.
Raymond began to admire Uehara Shiroha more and more, and asked him in disbelief, "Did they really leave like this?"
Uehara Shiroha sneered, "He knows I'm not kidding him. If he really wants to kill us, we'll fight to the death. Even if we can't beat them, we can make them pay dearly. He must have heard about our affairs in the Sirius organization. We can take care of Quickley and Miyamoto with just a few of us. He must be afraid of us."
"If the Dolph he has painstakingly raised for so many years were to fall into our hands, it would definitely be a loss, so he doesn't want to conflict with us."
Raymond nodded slowly, "So what should we do now? How about I go see if there are other exits in this basement, and then we can find a way to fight our way out."
Uehara Shiroha shook his head, "I just said this to test him. Since he agreed to my request, it means there's no second exit here. This place can even trap a high-level Hollow like Dolph, so how can we possibly escape?"
Raymond seemed a little anxious after hearing this, "Then we can't just wait here like idiots. Are we really going to surrender after dark?"
Ryouta stepped forward and patted Raymond on the shoulder, "Just accept your fate. You think he can come up with any good ideas, but in the end, we're all involved."
Chapter 383: Pray for the Cracks to be Repaired Soon
"I've said before that saving your life is the most important thing. No one listened to me. A bunch of people just followed Uehara Shiroha. This is your final result."
Uehara Shiroha ignored Ryouta and turned to speak to everyone, "All we need to do now is wait. I just hope they can work faster."
After Uehara Shiroha said this, everyone understood that he wanted to use this opportunity to delay time, hoping that the cracks could be repaired faster.
As long as the mission could be completed, everyone in the team would receive mission rewards, their combat effectiveness would be greatly enhanced, and they might have a chance to break out.
Chiakura, who had been silent, stood up and spoke to Uehara Shiroha, "Are you sure those people are still on the mission? Since Du'e has doubts about us, he should have called them back."
Uehara Shiroha began to analyze, "According to my estimation, it's unlikely. The people I called were the masked men who were guarding the dungeon. They don't usually attract much attention, so even if they left, no one would notice. Even if Du'e wanted to call them back now, it would be too late."
Everyone was silent after hearing this. There was no other way now, so they could only sit here and wait, praying that the crack could be repaired soon.
Time passed bit by bit, and Uehara Shiroha sat there with his eyes closed, waiting for the next big battle.
Everyone acted very calm, except for Ryouta, who couldn't sit still and paced back and forth in front, looking very impatient.
Seeing Ryouta like this, Raymond spoke, "You should sit down and take a rest. We still have to fight them later."
Ryouta said with disdain, "You can fight if you want. I know myself well. The Dawn organization's power is no joke. Even if we can beat them, do you see this huge beast behind you? They raise it for fighting. Do you think you can beat it?"
After hearing what Ryouta said, Raymond turned around and glanced at Dolph behind him. If this guy was let loose, they would definitely not be his match.
Raymond shook his head helplessly, and Uehara Shiroha spoke up, "Don't worry about Dolph's problem. This guy is very strong, but you didn't notice that his whole body is chained. This means that even Du'e can't control him now."
"This Dolph may not obey their orders now. If we loosen the chain, I'm afraid we won't be the only ones to suffer."
After listening to this, everyone thought about it carefully and felt that Uehara Shiroha's analysis did make sense. After hearing what he said, they instantly perked up.
"Now that you mention it, there's really nothing to worry about. We just need to follow Uehara Shiroha's instructions now. We just hope that the cracks can be repaired faster."
At the same time, around the crack, the masked man had taken the Black Spirit away, and the crack began to repair itself.
At this time, Du'e, who was waiting outside the dungeon, was getting impatient. He stared at the direction where the sun was setting, wishing it would get dark soon.
A masked man came forward and asked Du'e, "President, are you sure these guys will do what they say? What if they don't keep their word?"
Chapter 384: The Inevitable War
Du'e's mouth corners tilted slightly, "It's not up to them."
Seeing that it was getting dark, Du'e stretched and stood up, twisted his neck, and gave instructions to the masked people beside him, "It's almost time to close the net."
Then Du'e rushed into the dungeon with his men.
Facing the upcoming war, everyone was ready, except Ryouta who was cowering in the back.
When Uehara Shiroha heard the sound of someone coming in, he realized something was wrong. He couldn't see what was happening outside from inside the dungeon. Since someone had come, it meant that it was already dark, and he still hadn't received a reminder that the mission was completed.
Things had come to this point—there was no choice but to fight to the death.
Du'e walked up and asked Uehara Shiroha, "I have kept my promise. Now it's getting dark outside. Shouldn't you just surrender? I think you should feel honored to be devoured by Dolph. Ordinary people don't have such an opportunity. In the future, you'll become a part of Dolph's body."
When saying these words, a greedy expression appeared on Du'e's face, and Uehara Shiroha stepped forward and asked him, "You don't think we'll just surrender."
Upon hearing what Uehara Shiroha said, Du'e immediately frowned, "Court death."
Then Du'e rushed forward, and the masked men behind him followed suit.
The Soul Slayer in Du'e's hand was too familiar to Uehara Shiroha. He knew the power of the Soul Slayer and tried his best to avoid a direct conflict with Du'e.
Uehara Shiroha said to everyone in a low voice, "Stay with me and stand in front of Dolph. This guy won't dare to act rashly."
After hearing this, everyone approached Uehara Shiroha. Du'e raised the Soul Slayer in his hand and chopped it down hard. Then Uehara Shiroha pushed his companion next to him. The two of them dodged instantly, and the Soul Slayer's blade energy chopped straight toward Dolph.
The moment the sword energy touched Dolph, he became irritable, slowly stood up from the ground, roared, and the whole cave began to shake.
Only then did Du'e realize that something was wrong. No wonder Uehara Shiroha stood there—it turned out that he wanted to use the Dolph behind him as a shield.
It seemed that if he wanted to take down these people in front of him, he could only fight them in close combat. If he continued to attack wildly like this, Dolph would be injured by himself.
Ordinary weapons weren't a big deal, but the Soul Slayer had great lethality. Add in the fact that Du'e himself was very strong, and if things went wrong, he might really seriously injure Dolph.
Du'e immediately gave instructions to the masked people beside him, "The rest of you please be careful not to hurt the Dolph behind them, and try your best to capture these people alive."
The masked people rushed forward, but it was obvious that they were no match for Uehara Shiroha and others.
After Du'e saw the opportunity, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed Uehara Shiroha, pulled him out of the crowd, and threw him to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the other companions wanted to step forward to rescue Uehara Shiroha, but they were held back by the masked people.
Under such a huge impact, Uehara Shiroha spat out a mouthful of blood. Du'e was about to continue his attack, but he didn't expect Uehara Shiroha to suddenly lie on the ground and laugh.
Chapter 385: Hōgyoku Upgrade! Strong Light Illuminates the Cave!
This laughter made the hair on the neck of everyone present stand up.
Du'e asked in confusion, "You're still laughing when you're about to die. I'll make sure you never laugh again."
Uehara Shiroha slowly closed his eyes and said lightly, "It's a pity that you're a step late."
Du'e raised the Soul Slayer in his hand and was about to stab it into Uehara Shiroha's heart when a brilliant light burst from his body.
Du'e couldn't open his eyes because of the strong light, and subconsciously put his hands in front of his eyes, but the next second a huge impact force directly bounced him away.
At the same time, the other companions became like divine warriors, and they beat these masked men to a pulp in just a few moves.
It turned out that just when Uehara Shiroha was thrown to the ground, he suddenly received a prompt from the system that the crack had been repaired and the Hōgyoku had been upgraded.
Uehara Shiroha slowly stood up from the ground, saw Du'e not far away, and cracked his knuckles. "I've said it before, we won't interfere with each other. It seems like this is the path you chose."
Uehara Shiroha was just about to try out how powerful the upgraded Hōgyoku was, so he gathered his energy and released the upgraded Hōgyoku's power at Du'e.
At this time, the sky outside had completely darkened, and the cave was even darker. The strong light of the Hōgyoku directly illuminated the entire cave environment.
A huge shock wave was launched toward Du'e. Du'e couldn't believe what he saw. He didn't expect that he would be defeated by this young man in front of him.
After the shock wave came into contact with Du'e, the powerful force tore his body apart, and he was torn into pieces in an instant.
By the time the bright light of the Hōgyoku gradually dimmed, Du'e had already turned into ashes and disappeared, leaving only the Soul Slayer beside him.
Uehara Shiroha slowly walked toward the Soul Slayer, picked it up directly, then turned around and looked at the other masked men.
Even their president had been killed by Uehara Shiroha, so these masked men naturally didn't dare to make any other moves. They dropped their weapons and fled without even turning their heads back.
Only after all the masked men had run away did Uehara Shiroha finally kneel down on the ground. Several of his companions hurried forward to check on his condition.
"Are you okay? Is everything alright?"
Uehara Shiroha waved his hands and replied weakly, "It's nothing, I just overused too much energy from my body, and I can't hold on for a while. I'll be fine in a moment. Make sure these people have left."
Raymond looked toward the direction of the cave entrance. The group of masked men had already run away and no one was left. So he said to Uehara Shiroha, "Don't worry, they're all gone, we're safe now. I don't think the Dawn organization will be able to hold out for much longer."
After hearing this, Uehara Shiroha finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Several people helped Uehara Shiroha up from the ground. He turned his head and glanced at Ryouta. Ryouta felt a little guilty for his cowardice just now. On his face, there was more fear than guilt.
He was also afraid that Uehara Shiroha would attack him. Even Du'e was no match for Uehara Shiroha. If Uehara Shiroha wanted to kill him, it would be easy. It would only take him a thought.
Chapter 386: Masked Men Flee in All Directions
After this battle, Uehara Shiroha felt exhausted. Raymond on the side glanced at Dolph, then asked him, "How should we deal with this big guy? With our current strength, we probably can't do anything about him."
Uehara Shiroha turned his head and took a look, then spoke, "If this thing were to appear in the real world, the good days of these Hollows in Hueco Mundo would probably be over. Let him stay here forever. Although Du'e is dead, I think the Dawn organization will soon have a new leader."
"But these have nothing to do with us. Our mission has been completed and we can finally leave here."
Then several people helped Uehara Shiroha limping out of the cave.
The situation outside really surprised everyone. All the masked men of the Dawn organization were in chaos, and some even threw away their masks.
These people started to run for their lives, which made everyone feel a little strange. Raymond asked in confusion, "We don't plan to do anything to them, right? Why do they seem so panicked?"
Uehara Shiroha also realized that something was wrong, so he grabbed a random masked man who was running away from him.
After being caught by Uehara Shiroha, the masked man was very terrified. He immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. "Don't arrest me. We're just following orders. We have no opinion on you. Please let us go."
Chiakura stepped forward and spoke to the other person in a gentle tone, "Don't be afraid. We don't plan to do anything to you. We just want to ask you why the members of the Dawn organization are running for their lives. We didn't say we were going to do anything to you."
The masked man replied stutteringly, "It's not you, it's Dolph. This guy is so scary."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath Uehara Shiroha's feet began to shake.
The violent shaking lasted for about half a minute before it stopped. Uehara Shiroha then realized that something was wrong. The masked man who had just been caught had already escaped in the chaos.
Uehara Shiroha slowly turned his head and glanced in the direction of the underground cave. "Is this guy going to get out of control?"
Raymond asked in confusion, "That shouldn't be the case. He's been imprisoned in this place for a long time, and he seems to be well under control. How could it be such a coincidence that he's out of control as soon as Du'e dies?"
Raymond's words did serve as a reminder to Uehara Shiroha, and he spoke immediately, "You're right. I think this is the possible reason. Du'e may have his own way to control this guy. These chains may not be shackles at all for Dolph."
"The only way to trap him inside might be by some other means, but Du'e is dead now, so this so-called seal might no longer exist."
At this time, several masked men ran past Uehara Shiroha, still shouting, "Run for your life! Dolph will soon appear!" "Du'e is dead, everything is over, so run as far as you can!"
After hearing the shouts of these men, Uehara Shiroha was basically able to confirm his guess.
Chapter 387: Territory Shakes
These abnormal behaviors of the masked people soon attracted everyone's attention.
Chiakura asked Uehara Shiroha worriedly, "What should we do now? Let's leave this place as soon as possible. It looks like something big is going to happen."
Uehara Shiroha looked back and realized that all his goals had been achieved this time. The Soul Slayer had returned to his hands. After receiving the reward for the task, the Hōgyoku had also been upgraded, and its power was indeed extraordinary.
Now that his companions were all safe, Uehara Shiroha had nothing to worry about anymore, so he said to everyone, "Now that the trouble has been resolved, let's leave this place as soon as possible."
After saying this, Uehara Shiroha and his companions prepared to leave. After they took a few steps forward, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to shake violently.
Not far from them, a huge crack suddenly appeared. Several masked men were standing on it and fell directly into the crack.
The screams of the masked men echoed all around. Seeing this scene, the remaining masked men became even more panicked and began to frantically escape.
Uehara Shiroha realized that something was wrong and immediately asked his companions to speed up and everyone ran outside as fast as they could.
When Uehara Shiroha looked back again, the hole leading to the basement had completely collapsed.
It seemed that it was just as he thought. After Du'e died, some kind of seal on Dolph seemed to have been released, and these ordinary chains could no longer imprison it underground.
If this thing got out, it would be troublesome. After all, the Dawn organization still imprisoned many low-level and high-level Hollows, which were nutrients for Dolph to evolve.
He ran wildly all the way outside and finally escaped from the territory of the Dawn organization.
Several people stood there, holding their knees and breathing heavily. Uehara Shiroha looked back and saw that the Dawn organization was in chaos and had lost its former glory.
Then, a huge figure slowly crawled out from the crack in the ground, and the creature that appeared in front of everyone was Dolph who had been trapped in the cave before.
This guy grabbed anyone he saw. He didn't seem to be picky about food at all and could put anything in his mouth.
Ryouta said to everyone worriedly, "What are you still doing here? Do you want to run back to save these people? Why don't you run for your lives?"
With Ryouta's personality, he would have run away by himself when danger appeared. The reason why he didn't run away was because he was uncertain. He didn't know what unknown dangers were ahead.
There was already a certain gap in strength between Ryouta and his other companions. This time everyone had completed the task of repairing the cracks, and their attributes had been improved to a certain extent. These people would become his best helpers.
Even without everyone's help, Ryouta couldn't guarantee whether he could survive in this place, so he had always been dependent on everyone.
Uehara Shiroha didn't dare to hesitate any longer. These people from the Dawn organization weren't good people to begin with. They had tried to kill them several times, and Uehara Shiroha would not have any mercy on them, so he led everyone to continue running forward.
After running a few steps forward, Chiakura called everyone from behind, "I think we shouldn't just leave like this. This will become a nuisance to everyone."
Chapter 388: Escape from the Territory First and Then Make Plans
After hearing this, everyone stopped and Ryouta asked Chiakura with a puzzled look on his face.
"You're not being too compassionate at this moment, are you? Could it be that among these masked people there are your relatives or friends? Their lives and deaths have nothing to do with me."
Ryouta had always been selfish, but this time, Uehara Shiroha rarely agreed with what he said.
"I think what Ryouta said is right. These people aren't good people either. They've done us a lot of harm. Not adding insult to injury is our last act of kindness. There's no need to care about their life or death."
Chiakura replied with a frown on her face, "This guy has evolved to a level that's hard for us to imagine. He shouldn't be here in the first place. His appearance will definitely bring great chaos to Hueco Mundo."
"When the cracks appeared between the inner and outer areas before, ordinary high-level Hollows almost caused the outer areas to become a mess. Do you think the appearance of Dolph will make the situation worse?"
Chiakura's words caught Uehara Shiroha's attention. After some thought, he decided to leave first and discuss other matters later.
"Let's leave here for now. We're no match for him even if we put all of us together. It'll be even more dangerous if we stay here. Let's find a safe place first."
After hearing what Uehara Shiroha said, Chiakura didn't say anything else. She followed everyone and ran a long way.
After escaping to a relatively safe place, Uehara Shiroha suggested taking a rest, so everyone sat down around their makeshift camp.
At this time, Uehara Shiroha also began to think about what Chiakura had said before.
At least from the current situation, the inner and outer areas of Hollows were definitely no match for Dolph. If all these Hollows were devoured by him, this guy would continue to complete his evolution.
Besides, there were already a large number of Hollows imprisoned in the dungeon of the Dawn organization. After Dolph came out of the Dawn organization, he would definitely complete his evolution again and his strength would be stronger than before.
Seeing the troubled look on Uehara Shiroha's face, Raymond asked, "The mission has been completed now, but you still seem unhappy. Do you have any hidden missions? We've lived and died together during this period. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to survive. If there really is a hidden mission, please tell us and we'll do our best to help you complete it."
After hearing what Raymond said, Uehara Shiroha felt warm in his heart, so he smiled and shook his head.
"There are no more missions, but I think Chiakura is right. Dolph's appearance may cause Hueco Mundo to lose its balance seriously. This guy may become the biggest hidden danger of Hueco Mundo."
Ryouta sneered with a look of disdain on his face, "I say you should put aside your heroism. What does this have to do with us? It's good enough to be alive now. You've completed your mission, right? I came here to help voluntarily, and I can leave now. I don't want to continue to get involved with you."
Uehara Shiroha thought about it carefully and realized that Ryouta really couldn't help much now, so he spoke, "If you want to leave, go ahead. We won't stop you this time."
Hearing that Uehara Shiroha agreed to let him leave, Ryouta was also a little surprised and a little bit disbelieving.
Chapter 389: Ryouta Chooses to Leave the Team
This was the first time that Uehara Shiroha had agreed. Before, Ryouta had repeatedly expressed his desire to leave. Although Uehara Shiroha agreed on the surface, he would use various means to force him to come back behind his back.
Ryouta frowned and asked Uehara Shiroha with a puzzled look on his face, "You're not going to play any tricks on me again, are you?"
After the lessons learned from the previous times, even if Uehara Shiroha agreed to let him leave, Ryouta didn't dare to leave easily. He always felt that something seemed to be wrong. However, Uehara Shiroha replied calmly.
"Your mission has been completed. We don't need you anymore. If you don't want to stay with us, you can leave. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
Ryouta hurriedly stood up from the ground and looked at his other companions. None of them had any objections.
After all, people like Ryouta might bring more threat than help to the team if they stayed. Often when it came to critical moments, he always thought about himself. People like him could easily betray their teammates, so it might be good for everyone if he left.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Ryouta smiled and turned away.
At first Ryouta was a little cautious, but after walking for a distance, he found that there was nothing wrong, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief and stretched.
"That's great. I'm finally out of control of these guys. They act so righteous. If they don't sacrifice their lives, I think they'd feel uncomfortable."
While complaining, Ryouta turned his head and glanced at his companions in the distance.
When Ryouta turned around again, there was a person standing in front of him.
The man was wearing a black cloak and his hood was worn very low, so his face couldn't be seen clearly. All that could be seen was a dark void inside the hood.
Ryouta's heart tightened. He had just come out alone, and he should try his best not to have a conflict with people outside, so he wanted to go around this person.
Unexpectedly, after just taking a few steps forward, this person appeared in front of him again. Ryouta realized that something was wrong. It seemed that this person was coming for him.
Ryouta usually got angry at his companions, but when faced with a situation like this, he tended to behave more rationally, forcing a smile on his face and asking the other party, "What do you want from me?"
The other person just stood in front of Ryouta without saying a word, which even made him wonder if this person could even speak, after all, nothing could be seen under the hood.
Ryouta wanted to try to get around this person again, but he suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, dragged him over, and knocked him out.
However, when Ryouta woke up again, it was already dark. He looked at the campfire in front of him and saw a man wearing a hood and a cloak sitting next to it.
It seemed that he couldn't escape from this man no matter what, so Ryouta spoke, "Why did you capture me? At least tell me, and I'll do my best to help you. If you don't say anything now, how can I help you? Shouldn't we communicate if there's anything?"
At this time, the other party finally spoke, "The Soul Slayer was taken away by you, right? It's in the hands of Uehara Shiroha."
Chapter 390: Ryouta is Captured by a Mysterious Person
Hearing the question raised by the other party, Ryouta immediately frowned. Could it be that the person in front of him was Du'e who had transformed into a Hollow?
Thinking of what he had done before, Ryouta immediately knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy.
"I've already said it before, just run for your life. I don't have any idea about what's going on over there. This is all Uehara Shiroha's business. Besides, when you two were fighting, I didn't come forward to help at all. The Soul Slayer was in Uehara Shiroha's hands, not in mine. If you want to find someone, go find them, don't come to me."
The man in the cloak slowly stood up and came to the front of Ryouta. This was the closest distance between the two. Ryouta looked under the brim of the other's hood, and there was nothing in it except a dark void.
But what made Ryouta feel strange was that the black void under the hood could emit sounds.
"Go to their team and bring the Soul Slayer to me."
At this time, Ryouta was still confused and had no idea who the person in front of him was.
But judging from the current situation, if he didn't agree to the other party's request, he was afraid he would die here immediately.
Ryouta thought about it carefully. He didn't want Uehara Shiroha to get the Soul Slayer. This task was nothing to him, except that it might be a little difficult.
Faced with the situation, Ryouta could only nod his head and agree, fearing that if he went against the other party's wishes, he would die at his hands.
The cloaked figure spoke again, "I'll be waiting for you nearby after you get the things, and you can just come back and find me."
Ryouta nodded, then turned and walked back.
At this time, Uehara Shiroha and others were also discussing the next plan. They must not let Dolph become a scourge in Hueco Mundo.
While everyone was discussing, a figure suddenly came from a distance. Uehara Shiroha looked carefully.
Although it was already dark, with the help of the faint light from the campfire in front of him, Uehara Shiroha could clearly see that the person walking in was Ryouta.
This surprised Uehara Shiroha. Based on his understanding of Ryouta, he would definitely never come back after finally escaping from everyone's control.
He had wanted to leave several times before, but was rejected by Uehara Shiroha. Now that he finally had the chance to leave, Ryouta must be so happy that he wouldn't have time to come back.
Ryouta approached the crowd step by step, and Uehara Shiroha walked up to him and asked, "Why are you back again? Didn't you want to leave?"
Ryouta had been thinking of excuses along the way. If he made himself sound too righteous, Uehara Shiroha probably wouldn't believe him, so he spoke with a conflicted look.
"I've thought about it carefully. Hueco Mundo is so chaotic right now. If I go out alone, I might run into other troubles. It would be better for me to follow you first. After we're sure we're in a safe place, we can go our separate ways."
He had to say that Ryouta's excuse this time did seem more reasonable, at least Uehara Shiroha believed it.
This was Uehara Shiroha's understanding of Ryouta. He always considered himself first when doing anything, so it was normal for him to want everyone's help now.
Raymond seemed to be afraid that Uehara Shiroha would chase him away, so he spoke up for Ryouta.
