Tokyo, Japan...
"Hm?"
Furrowing her brow, Novena detected faint energy pulses.
"I think I took the wrong route..."
Minene, having killed a participant, had been hunting to gain more power.
After all, Yuno was more powerful than predicted, especially the key.
That child was a problem, and if she wanted to kill them, she needed to at least double her powers; otherwise, the chances of winning were less than 50%...
However, her attempts to detect other participants had failed. Her Diary, being a special one, made escape difficult in this task.
But she didn't give up and searched from city to city for the mice.
Since she thought that Sakurami City, being previously destroyed, no participant would dare to stay.
But now it seems she made a mistake, as the energy pulses come directly from that direction.
"I understand, the most dangerous place is the safest."
Following this logic, Minene smiled before her body flickered and disappeared...
The hunt had begun...
*BOMM...
"You're quite stubborn..."
Activating more of his bomb papers, massacring more dogs.
The dogs didn't wait to die either, as their bodies moved at high speed, biting people and destroying the temple.
Tenth, having the power of time, was distributing power among his pets, making them very difficult to kill.
Yuki, of course, didn't panic, as with the Sharingan, he observed the movements of each pet.
"Well, the moment has come; I leave it to you, Yuno..."
After analyzing and detecting the time waves, Yuki located Tenth. After all, the information Rasiel gave him was very ambiguous and lacked meaning.
It seemed Tenth was hiding within Time, so Rasiel couldn't detect his whereabouts perfectly. Still, that didn't mean Zafkiel couldn't.
And now, with the constant use of time power, it was more than enough for Yuki to detect Tenth.
"Yes, Yuki... I won't let you down..."
Smiling in response, Yuno unsheathed her katana ready to kill.
"Miss Tsubaki, as we planned, we'll split up at this point. Please endure for as long as necessary..."
"I will, I don't want to die..."
Smiling bitterly, Tsubaki had no choice but to nod. This part of the plan was the one she didn't like.
For her, the death of the followers of her sect didn't matter. However, at this moment, Yuki would face one of his enemies separately, forcing her to remain in a stalemate with Yuno.
And although she'd like to run, she couldn't...
Because the consequences would be disastrous if her position was compromised.
"Well, I wish you both good luck..."
*Tick Tack...
Entering his astral suit, Yuki invoked Zafkiel, and his body sank into the shadows...
After entering the shadows, Yuki quickly captured one of Tenth's pets. If he wanted to find Tenth, the first thing to do was mark his energy source. The pets were like phones receiving signals through a tower, and if Yuki wanted to find the energy source, he had to make the signal increasingly intense.
The death of the dogs played a crucial role, forcing Tenth to amplify his signal by reversing time.
There was no doubt that Rasiel's information played a crucial role because with it, Yuki knew how important the dogs were to Tenth, treating them even better than his family.
However, this time, the dogs were his downfall...
With his Sharingan spinning, Yuki put one of the dogs to sleep, activating his Genjutsu.
"I got you... Zafkiel: Tet..."
*Bang
Since the dogs were the receptors of his power and consequently the only way to find him, knowing this, Yuki didn't hesitate to interrupt this signal and enter Tenth's timeline.
And what better way to do it than to share senses and form beyond time...
The ninth bullet was perfect for this, so he shot towards the energy receptor, which was the pet with the strongest signal.
"Wow, this is unexpected... To think that someone would manage to enter this timeline, and I must say it's a very unusual guest..."
Opening his eyes, Yuki saw directly at a middle-aged man, dressed in an old-fashioned yet elegant way, sitting drinking tea while several dogs surrounded him. Hundreds of screens blinked around him. He was so calm that it was obvious he was expecting it.
However, this didn't surprise Yuki, as this was also within his calculations. Tenth's Diary was that of Upbringing, so he knew exactly what would happen to each of his pets.
"Thanks for receiving me..."
Bowing slightly, Yuki introduced himself as a true gentleman. He could see that the person in front of him also had that noble aura. Although such people are rare in the modern world, the simple fact that he wasn't scared was commendable.
"Although you're an unwelcome guest, I like your attitude. What do you say we join forces, 'Key'? Together, the odds of winning this game are high."
With a hand on his chin, Tenth studied the 'Key' from top to bottom. This little one also had a dignified aura, so Tenth quickly tried to bring him to his side.
He must know that knights in this era are so scarce that encountering one of their own is difficult, but now Yuki was here.
"I'm sorry, but I already have a lady to protect. My loyalty is with her..."
Rejected without hesitation, Yuki materialized his spark gun. After all, he wasn't here to talk.
"It's a pity; together, we would be invincible... But I understand. Our honor as knights prevents us from betraying our beliefs. However, I doubt very much that you can fulfill the mission your lady gave you in that state..."
Raising an eyebrow, Tenth wasn't worried to see the spark gun in Yuki's hand. After all, he is the creator of this timeline.
And he knew exactly that Yuki wasn't in this timeline with his real body. Rather, a part of his consciousness dragged through his signal, allowing him to enter this place, like a virus in a wireless network. That's why Tenth was so calm; in that state, it was useless for Yuki to try anything...
Yuki, on the other hand, shrugged. He knew exactly what Tenth meant. Reaching this timeline wasn't easy, especially with the amount of Chakra it took Zafkiel to bring him here. And although it was only his consciousness and senses, it was more than enough...
"Who knows~... Maybe I can't do anything in this state."
Smirking mischievously, Yuki lowered his gaze where the King's mark, as well as the Est contract mark, joined...
"But I never said it would be me making a move..."
*Shiiiiiiii
At the same time Yuki finished his words, Tenth's Diary sounded.
In this space where only Tenth belonged, and the sound was almost nil, this sound rang so clear that Tenth couldn't help but furrow his brow tightly...
"Go ahead, you can open it..."
Urging Tenth to open his Diary, Yuki sent spiritual pulses to the mark of his contract, and at the same time, he called upon his trump card... Tenth quickly opened his Diary, and his eyes couldn't help but widen in shock.
[April 11, 10:15 AM]
[The Key has infiltrated my timeline]
[A sword appears, Alpha and Beta have died....]
[My master dies]
[DEAD END]
Reading these messages, Tenth couldn't help but stand up. Something impossible had happened...
His 'DEAD END' had appeared...
Even in this timeline where he is untouchable...
"Attack!"
Without wasting a single second, Tenth immediately ordered, and the dogs surrounding him lunged forward, trying to destroy the consciousness of the enemy...
Unfortunately, it was already too late...
Yuki's contract mark had activated.
"It's time to have some fun, Est..."
[Yes, Master...]
With a small blinding light, a beautiful silver sword materialized. However, that wasn't all; its blade was covered in electricity, creating a sound like a thousand birds...
"Sorry, Tenth, but for the honor of my Lady, you'll have to die here..."
[Raiton: Senko!]
