Blue Lock: They All Call Me the Demon King of the Field

Isagi Yoichi quickly regained his composure.

Yes... unique abilities are almost nonexistent in this world, and it's a blessing to encounter someone with the same weapon as him.

This means... this is talent!

Ryu chuckled. Perhaps Isagi didn't fully understand the value of his weapon right now, but it was a weapon many top athletes on the field should possess.

In this field, everyone needs to hone their weapons to the extreme to stand out.

After all... for example, shooting, passing, stamina, and speed—it's impossible to know how many players in this world are superior to oneself.

If he gets lost just because an opponent has the same weapon, he might as well stop playing soccer.

Freed from his inner demons, Isagi quickly returned to form. He wiped the sweat from his chin and smiled, "It's really great that I came here!"

"Alright? Just remember to pass me the ball," Ryu suddenly interjected.

Isagi's body stiffened, and he gave a wry smile.

As the whistle sounded once again.

This time, Bachira was dribbling. He looked at the double-team ahead, completely unfazed, his eyes even filled with excitement.

"Again?"

"As Aki said, you really do have the ability to predict!"

On the field, the opponent's defense still had no weaknesses. Even Bachira struggled like a mouse, his skills heavily restricted.

He could only pass the ball.

Kunigami raised an eyebrow after receiving the ball. His weapon was shooting, but he was still in the midfield. He still had some distance to cover to reach his golden shooting zone...

And then he saw the players closing in to double-team him.

He directly passed the ball to Raichi....

Raichi laughed wildly upon receiving the ball. "Hahaha... it seems none of you want to score?"

"Then let me!"

He charged forward madly with the ball.

"No! This won't do!" Kuon shouted, as if he had seen something. "Raichi, pass the ball out!"

And Ryu's lips curved into a smile when he saw this scene.

Their strategy had been changed to one goal, one swap during the previous meeting, but on the field, anyone could attack as long as they scored. However, facing this strategy, those players on the opposing team who had one foot in the abyss must have already figured it out.

After all, every team was under Ego's watchful eye.

What they could know, naturally... these people also knew!

The next second, just as Raichi stepped into the penalty area, the opposing team exchanged glances and started moving with a telepathic understanding.

With a "bang,"

The ball at Raichi's feet was shot directly.

However, it was intercepted by a figure. Niko smiled. "It seems your shot isn't as terrifying as that Demon King's!"

And in the next moment, Niko, who had possession of the ball, looked in a certain direction.

In the midfield, Okawa was already running towards the penalty area.

Niko passed the ball directly.

And along the passing route, Team Z happened to reveal a gap.

Isagi's pupils widened. He knew... so that's what it was. This guy had the same prediction ability as him. Their strategy was originally to turn defense into offense.

Because they understood their own attacking team so well.

So... understanding that everyone wanted to show off, that gave them an opportunity!

"Finally! I was getting so bored!" Okawa grinned, looking at the flying ball.

Niko also made a binocular gesture, "It's up to you, Okawa. With my weapon, even the Demon King you fear... will help you clear the obstacles."

"Quick, quick, quick, fall back!" Kuon seemed to have guessed the opponent's intentions, having shouted earlier.

"Huh... were we outsmarted?" Bachira scratched his head, looking at Ryu, who had stopped in place.

Neither of them made any further moves.

Clearly, this goal had nothing to do with them anymore.

Ryu's crimson eyes flashed with a hint of disdain. "It's not really being outsmarted, just a little trick. I didn't expect the opponent to remain so calm under such circumstances."

"Indeed, a player with spatial awareness."

"They are the heroes I dislike dealing with the most..."

"Heroes?" Bachira chuckled, "So how do you plan to deal with these slimes in this match?"

Ryu smiled, "Crush them."

Meanwhile, inside the penalty area, Okawa sneered, "You can't defend this!"

He had already entered the penalty area. As long as he found the right angle, he could score with one shot!

The next second, the ball at his feet shot out like a cannonball, straight into the net.

Even Gagamaru Gin couldn't stop it.

The score was now 1:1.

Okawa raised both hands, revealing a victorious smile.

He was the top scorer after all. Although he had taken a beating in this match, he would never miss a shot he shouldn't!

Niko also stepped forward, "Well done!"

In contrast, Team Z gathered together, discussed for a few minutes, and then returned to their positions on the field.

Ryu's gaze met Niko's eyes under his bangs, and an almost tangible aura seemed to emanate between them.

"Who exactly is the prey?"

This time, Z Team took the kickoff due to the rotation system.

The ball came to Kunigami's feet.

Ryu's position was very close to him. As he passed him, he spoke softly, "If you feel your weapon is too weak, why not think about it differently?"

"Abandoning teammates is not a good choice."

Kunigami's pupils constricted. "I know!! You don't need to tell me!"

The next moment, he passed the ball out.

Although the play revolved around him, he always felt a certain pressure... as if he were showing off in front of someone even more powerful.

Isagi, who received the ball, constantly observed his surroundings.

He knew the opponent had the same prediction ability as him. To break through this prediction, an unconventional force, something unpredictable, must appear.

However, to be unpredictable, there was only one way.

Multiple weapons... The opposing team had watched their team's recordings. They should have already understood Team Z's general outline and even figured out what their weapons were.

Now, only the unknown could break through this barrier!

Suddenly, Ryu's previous words came to his mind: "A person doesn't necessarily only possess one weapon."

He gradually understood the meaning behind it!

With a "bang,"

He kicked the ball directly in front of Ryu.

Isagi showed a fierce look. "Then, Demon King, you must have many weapons, right?"

"Isn't it a bit too much if you don't show them off?"
