Chapter 377: I didn't Train someone to retreat in fight... charge!
"I've found the Sex Devil for you."
Hearing the voice on the phone from the shore, honestly, even Fang Mo himself was taken aback.
Turning the Control Devil into the Sex Devil... Initially, Fang Mo had mentioned it casually, although he indeed asked the shore to try to find it later, but Fang Mo never really thought it would be successful.
After all, the Sex Devil is too far-fetched. Although theoretically, some people might fear the concept of 'Sex,' like fearing being violated, being molested, or simply fearing the obligation of societal contributions, hence the birth of the Sex Devil. But this is, after all, something that never appeared in the original work, so it would be normal if Kishibe couldn't find it, right?
However, the fact proved.
Fang Mo still underestimated the strength of this Devil hunter.
In the original work, he could even trick the newly born Control Devil... that is, the reincarnation of Makima, the young girl form of Nayuta, to come to Japan from China. Perhaps he really has some skills in searching for Devils.
Honestly, after hearing this news.
Fang Mo felt like giving up guarding Denji, fighting against Quanxi and Santa Claus... How could any of that be more interesting than researching the Sex Devil?
This is the Sex Devil! If Fang Mo lets Steve swallow this thing.
Then would the concept of 'Sex' in this world also disappear along with it? If the concept of sex disappears, would the human fertility rate in this world become 0? In that case, within a few decades, all of humanity would completely vanish, right?
Well, worthy of being the world under Tatsuki Fujimoto's pen, casually eating a Devil could destroy the world.
Crazy but somewhat comical.
But beneath the absurdity lies a bit of truth.
"Where are you?"
Thinking it over, Fang Mo directly asked the person on the phone: "Don't move from where you are with that... Devil, I'll come to find you right now."
"I've already returned to Tokyo."
The voice from the shore came through the phone: "You should be protecting Denji right now, right? He's my apprentice, you better protect him well, I'll come to find you later, I have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?"
Fang Mo asked: "Don't tell me you want me to spare Quanxi."
"...We'll talk when we meet."
Kishibe didn't give a clear answer to Fang Mo, and after saying this, he directly hung up the phone.
"Hey, don't hang up, tell me more about the Sex Devil..." Fang Mo hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was too late, so he cursed: "Damn it, why does everyone like to hang up on me?"
"What's wrong?"
Hayakawa Aki, who was nearby, also asked: "Who called?"
"The old thief Kishibe."
Fang Mo grumbled as he put away his phone: "He found a big toy that I like and was supposed to send it over first, but then this guy just hung up on me. Damn it, I'll decapitate Quanxi right in front of him later."
"..."
Hayakawa Aki looked at Fang Mo strangely, his expression clearly conveying a 'Why would you kill Quanxi when it was Kishibe who offended you?' kind of question.
But he didn't ask any further.
All the puppets' right arms had transformed into sharp knives. Their stiff, expressionless faces as they moved in groups added an indescribable eeriness to the scene.
However, no sooner had these puppets entered than Kusakabe, crouching over the magic circle, blew a breath forward.
The power of the contracted Devil activated.
Several puppets in front instantly turned into stone statues.
"That's powerful," Denji said, somewhat surprised. "They turned directly into stone."
"If you don't want to end up like them, step back," Kusakabe frowned and warned. "The Stone Devil is quite capricious..."
Before he could finish, Fang Mo suddenly spoke up in defense of the Stone Devil: "Capricious my foot. The Stone Devil is incredibly reliable, you know? The Ghost Devil is just a reclusive trash, and the Fox Devil is notoriously cowardly, but the Stone Devil is different; he really dares to step up when it matters."
Indeed, Fang Mo wasn't lying about this.
In the original story, the characters were tricked by Santa Claus into being transported to hell, where they encountered the ultimate fighter of the series, the fundamental Evil of Darkness. The other Devils were so frightened that they froze in place.
Yet, after Kusakabe activated his contracted power, the Stone Devil actually charged forward.
The opponent is none other than the Dark Devil, representing humanity's terror of the unknown and darkness. This is a primordial Devil of great power. Yet, knowing this, the Stone Devil still charged forward, which is truly remarkable. One dares to summon, and the other truly dares to confront.
Of course, the next second, it was crushed by the Dark Devil.
"...What?"
Hearing Fang Mo's praise for the Stone Devil, Kusakabe was also stunned, as he hadn't read the original work, feeling somewhat confused at the moment.
However, it was during this moment of confusion.
Suddenly, a dense multitude of footsteps sounded from outside.
Following that, a massive wave of puppets crazily surged over, their scale was enormously exaggerated, resembling zombies breaking out, instantly shattering the department store's glass doors and curtain walls.
Kusakabe tried to activate his power, but after petrifying a few puppets, more rushed over, a tactic of pressing forward against the attack with sheer numbers. Seeing this, Kusakabe panicked, as he wasn't Medusa, with a limited number of puppets he could petrify, so he quickly ran out of the magic circle: "No good! There are too many! Run to the second floor!"
"It's the Puppet Devil!"
"Not far away, Hirofumi Yoshida also spoke up: "This is Santa Claus's Devil power. Once touched by a puppet, you'll be transformed into one of them!"
"First of all, retreat!"
Tamaoki also shouted, planning to lead everyone upstairs.
But he had only taken a step when he suddenly felt someone grab his collar, followed by a tremendous force pulling him back.
Tamaoki instinctively looked up, only to find that it was Fang Mo who had pulled him back.
But before he could ask anything, the other party had already spoken.
"Retreat, my ass."
Fang Mo calmly adjusted his clothes: "There's no talking of retreat. The people I personally trained are not cowards. Denji, Power, Aki, Angel, charge."
"...Huh?"
Not only Tamaoki, but Kusakabe and Hirofumi Yoshida were also stunned, hesitating for a moment before hurriedly saying: "No, this is Santa Claus from Germany... Once touched by a puppet, it's over! And isn't the Chainsaw Boy we need to defend? How can you let him go into battle?"
"This moment is the time for judgment."
However, Fang Mo didn't care about these, facing the dense army of puppets ahead, he simply waved his hand forward and said: "Repeat... Lesson Four, assemble!"
