Yoichi Isagi looked unwilling. It seemed Hiori Yo was right; he had indeed been targeted. The worst part was that the ball was in his possession… Was he afraid?
The intense pressure from these Top 7 players made it hard for him to breathe.
They had all entered Blue Lock at the same time.
Why were they so strong?
And why could he only be the prey?
No… I don't want to always be like this. I need to change, I need to devour, just like I devoured Ma Lang back then. I need to find my last puzzle piece, and before that, I must confront them head-on.
I must devour Otoya Eita!
Yoichi Isagi was fully in the zone, flames burning brightly in his eyes. The ball at his feet refused to budge. Even though Otoya Eita was already close to him, his movements were much faster than before.
Just as Yoichi Isagi wanted to pass the ball.
Otoya Eita had already blocked his passing route from the right, even raising his arm to obscure most of Yoichi Isagi's vision. He was very skilled at using his arms.
"Mortal, don't even think about passing. I've got my eyes on you this match."
"Struggling is useless."
Yoichi Isagi looked at Itoshi Rin, who was making an off-ball run, but Otoya Eita saw through him in an instant. He raised his arm to a height that directly blocked Yoichi Isagi's vision, a smirk playing on his lips, pleased with himself.
What should he do now?
This guy's technique was far superior to his!
Just then, a shout rang out. Hiori Yo appeared from nowhere, his pupils glowing with a light blue aura. "Pass to me!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Yoichi Isagi immediately kicked the ball out.
Because he knew clearly that if things continued like this, Otoya Eita would definitely steal the ball at his feet.
And if the opponent got the ball with their current lineup, the Demon King who had been observing might just unleash his power. Yoichi Isagi understood him too well; after all, they had been teammates before, and he had never seen Ye Liangqiu have the ball stolen from him by anyone else.
In other words… if he got the ball, it meant a goal.
Seeing the ball passed away, Otoya Eita's expression showed a hint of disdain, and he immediately chased after the ball.
At the same time, Chigiri, who had been marking Hiori Yo, also sprinted over at an extremely high speed.
Stopping the ball steadily, Hiori Yo's eyes constantly tried to find a scoring opportunity. His nose seemed to be sniffing the air in every direction, but the scent of all scoring points left him unable to decide whether to pass the ball or not.
Facing the two defenders, Otoya Eita looked at Hiori Yo and smiled, "Did you find what you were looking for?"
Hiori Yo, still contemplating, curved his lips into a smile. "I did."
The next second, he started dribbling. He understood Otoya Eita well; he absolutely could not confront this guy head-on. His own weapon might be insignificant in Otoya Eita's eyes.
But in his team, there were still two aces.
His gaze suddenly shifted to Itoshi Rin, who was making an off-ball run. Their eyes met. Since they both possessed weapons that could survey the entire field… then you should be able to guess what I'm thinking!
With a "thump."
Hiori Yo kicked the ball out with one powerful strike, and the soccer ball arced towards the penalty area.
And there, Shidou Ryusei and Itoshi Rin had already reached their respective attacking zones.
Itoshi Rin immediately sprinted towards the landing spot, hooked the ball with the tip of his foot, and stopped it steadily.
But the next second, a figure also appeared in front of him. Niko stared into Itoshi Rin's eyes, pondering to himself, indeed, these Top 7 players had all trained their weapons to an unimaginable degree.
He had thought Hiori Yo was going to pass the ball to Shidou Ryusei for a shot inside the box.
However, it was a high pass instead.
The most important thing was that in such a situation, someone could still notice.
Itoshi Rin's expression was calm, his indifferent eyes not even acknowledging Niko. He kept his gaze fixed on one direction the entire time: the goal.
At the same time, the frantic shouts of Shidou Ryusei came, "That's my ball!!"
"Die, tsundere!"
Shidou Ryusei charged at Itoshi Rin like a crazed beast. At this moment, Niko was stunned. Weren't these two teammates?
Itoshi Rin snorted coldly. His vision was extremely wide at this moment.
Otoya Eita rushed towards Itoshi Rin like a ninja, a three-way pincer attack.
It was in this situation that Itoshi Rin's pupils seemed to converge with everyone's gazes. He slowly raised his right foot.
Is he going to shoot directly?
Niko ran forward, attempting to narrow the shooting space.
And now, the moment that would shock everyone was about to arrive. Itoshi Rin seemed to see through everything, his eyes exceptionally composed. The moment Niko lifted his foot, his gaze suddenly became incredibly sharp, like a fierce beast from the abyss.
With a "thump."
A powerful shot was unleashed.
The ball arced past Niko's foot and shot directly towards the dead corner of the goal.
Shidou Ryusei and Otoya Eita's gazes were all fixed on the goal.
Blocking the view!
Damn it, this guy is using me as a shield!
Niko immediately understood the meaning. During the powerful shot just now, in order to hide his movements, this guy deliberately waited for him to come forward, precisely to obscure his actions and prevent the mechanical goalkeeper from noticing, so that the goal could be perfect.
This guy… is he that ambitious?
However, a "thud" sound rang out.
To everyone's surprise, the ball was actually caught. Ye Liangqiu's figure appeared in front of the penalty area goal at some unknown time, scarlet light radiating from his pupils. Under everyone's gaze, his body hovered in the air, his calves forming a Z-shape, and he forcefully blocked the ball directly in front of the goal.
The ball even continued to spin, eventually falling onto the grass.
Stepping on the ball, Ye Liangqiu looked at everyone's astonished gazes, slowly pushing the hair from his forehead with his finger, his red eyes fixed on the crowd.
"I'm taking this ball."
"Starting now, come on, I'll give you wastes a chance to challenge me."
A roar sounded, and the next second, Ye Liangqiu's figure appeared before Itoshi Rin like a beam of light.
Itoshi Rin reacted, reaching out to block Ye Liangqiu, but he missed. Ye Liangqiu didn't even glance at him, rushing towards the next person.
Shidou Ryusei's eyes widened, and he directly charged forward.
He attempted to intercept the ball directly, even if it meant fouling.
If Ye Liangqiu broke out of the penalty area, it would only take a few seconds for the ball to be shot into their goal.
And the others also understood Ye Liangqiu's meaning… Was he planning to defeat them one by one using his own weapon?
