"Yui, go to the back first and find Yumiko and the others. I'm going to have a little chat with a friend."
After glancing at the Night King, Nakano Yu said this, then used the Wind to lift the girl beside him and send Yuigahama Yui to Miura Yumiko, who was waiting outside the Haunted House.
As she was leaving, Yuigahama Yui looked at the young man worriedly.
Although Nakano Yu had said that the young man who had suddenly appeared was his friend, Yuigahama Yui did not consider herself stupid and could tell that the young man's intentions were not good.
However... she did not even have time to say anything before Nakano Yu sent her away.
After sending Yuigahama Yui out of the Haunted House, Nakano Yu looked at the Night King from the Underworld.
Honestly speaking, Nakano Yu had not expected to run into the Night King here. At first, he had indeed sensed the Night King's aura, but at that time, Nakano Yu thought that the Haunted House had captured some undead creature for effect.
It was only when the Night King began radiating malice directed at him that Nakano Yu realized the visitor had bad intentions.
He did not have many enemies among the undead; those who had previously held grudges against him had already turned to ashes. Thinking about it, Nakano Yu did not even need to guess to know which undead creature was following him.
"Oh? How gentle."
At that moment, the Night King noticed Nakano Yu's actions. Seeing that the first thing the other party had done was send the girl beside him away, he raised an eyebrow and a playful smile appeared on his face.
Long ago, it seemed that he had also been a young man like Nakano Yu. It was only that thousands of years of immortality and the torment of time after becoming a zombie had turned him into his current disgusting state.
And all of that was thanks to that cursed, self-righteous woman!
As he thought about it, the Night King's face became twisted and terrifying, as if endless hatred could find no outlet.
But very quickly, the Night King calmed down.
Looking at Nakano Yu in the glass corridor, a smile appeared on his face.
He kicked the monster at his feet aside, shoved his hands into his pockets, and walked toward the glass corridor.
"I'm telling you, you should know that guy, right? That annoying bastard who casually changes the fates of other people, the center of the world."
The Night King's voice echoed throughout the Haunted House. After saying that, his footsteps stopped in front of the glass corridor.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the Night King raised his hand and violently struck the reinforced glass blocking his path.
"Bang!!"
With a dull sound, countless dense cracks spread across the transparent glass, using the Night King's fist as the center, covering the entire glass corridor in only a single breath.
In the next moment, the glass corridor shattered with a crash, turning into a rain of fragments that fell to the floor.
After doing all that, the Night King revealed a benevolent smile, looked at the young man who seemed like a lamb waiting for slaughter, and asked:
"Are you ready?"
Looking at the Night King, Nakano Yu's eyes shone with light—it was rage that wanted to grind the Night King into dust. However, Nakano Yu had no intention of killing the Night King; that would make Eucliwood unhappy. So he would simply lock this guy up together with Tomie.
As he thought about that, Nakano Yu's aura exploded. As the aura of a King, it filled the entire Haunted House within only a few moments. A terrifying pressure descended like an enormous mountain, causing the entire Haunted House to creak and tremble amid deafening cracking sounds.
"Bang!"
With another dull sound, the Night King, who moments ago looked as though he possessed the entire world, heavily dropped to his knees.
His knees dug deeply into the floor, and his hands braced desperately against the ground as he tried with all his might not to collapse like a dead dog.
"Krrr~"
But even then, creaking sounds continuously came from the Night King's body; they were his bones colliding under this terrifying pressure.
However, the Night King had already been revived as a zombie by Eucliwood and was not afraid of this kind of physical damage.
One had to know that zombies were immortal beings, and the pressure Nakano Yu was releasing was not intended to immediately crush the Night King into a bloody paste.
"I'm telling you, you're a little weak."
Scratching his ear, Nakano Yu looked uninterested.
He had not expected the Night King to kneel before even enduring his pressure. Nakano Yu had thought that, as a zombie, the Night King would be able to release his physical strength without limitation and at least resist for a while. As a result... the Night King's performance truly disappointed Nakano Yu.
Struggling to stay upright, the Night King raised his head toward the young man walking toward him while the terrifying pressure made his mind incredibly hazy.
He bit his tongue and forced himself to clear his head, then stared motionlessly at Nakano Yu. When the young man was less than ten meters away, the Night King suddenly exploded forward, activating one thousand percent of his physical strength and charging toward Nakano Yu.
"Bastard, die!!!"
Roaring, the Night King rushed toward Nakano Yu at the greatest speed he had ever achieved, his fist aimed directly at Nakano Yu's face.
At such a short distance, the Night King was convinced that he could take this guy's life with a single punch before Nakano Yu could react. Even if he failed to kill him, his full-powered strike would certainly inflict severe injuries!
Just as the Night King was thinking this, his furious gaze met Nakano Yu's calm eyes.
When he saw the young man's completely indifferent attitude, rage exploded within the Night King's heart. But at that moment, a gentle breeze passed by him, and Nakano Yu's voice fell into his ears:
"I'm telling you, is that all you've got?"
As soon as the words fell, the Night King's eyes narrowed sharply. The young man, who had been several meters away, suddenly appeared right in front of him. As for what path he had taken to get there—the Night King had no idea. That speed was like teleportation!
But naturally, Nakano Yu had no intention of explaining that to the Night King.
Under the Night King's shocked and bewildered gaze, Nakano Yu raised his hand. In the next moment, a clear slapping sound echoed throughout the entire Haunted House:
"Slap!!"
After the slap, the Night King's body flew backward like a cannonball and smashed heavily into the wall.
Just as he was about to break through the wall, Nakano Yu raised his hand, and a powerful Wind pulled the Night King's body out of the wall and brought him in front of Nakano Yu.
"You... who... are... you... really?"
At this moment, the Night King felt only that his brain had become completely muddled from that slap. Most likely, Nakano Yu had given him a concussion with it, and his right cheek, which had taken the blow, was swollen like a pig's head.
Restrained by the Wind, the Night King's gaze toward Nakano Yu no longer contained anger, only endless fear and confusion.
He could not understand why the young man before him was so powerful. How had he never heard of such a mighty being during thousands of years? And why would such a person be associated with that bastard?
However, Nakano Yu had no intention of explaining anything to the Night King. His cold purple eyes looked at the Night King as he spoke indifferently:
"Zombies can survive in a vacuum, right?"
Just as Nakano Yu's words fell, an aura suddenly entered his range of perception. Sensing that aura, Nakano Yu turned around and saw the tightly closed main doors of the Haunted House opening, and the figure of a girl in armor carrying a gigantic scythe appearing at the entrance.
