Severing the Bond, Acknowledging a Master

--"The Stray Devil".

They are generally servants of demons. Occasionally, they carry out their masters' cruel acts against humans, and are also known as "wandering demons."

In a wooded area surrounded by trees in Kuoh Town, there is a large, abandoned house with an eerie atmosphere.

Led by Rias, the members of the Occult Research Club, including Akeno Himejima, Koneko Toujou, and Kiba Yuuto, entered the house without any attempt to conceal themselves.

"Our target this time is sin, those who have escaped their master's grasp and run rampant to satisfy their desires." Rias walked ahead with her arms crossed, seemingly oblivious to the dim lighting inside the house. She stared at the top of a staircase leading to the second floor and said, "How long are you going to hide? Are you afraid of what you've done?"

"What kind of joke are you telling, you arrogant little brat?"

As Rias finished speaking, a female "Stray Devil" with the upper body of a human and the lower body of Monster slowly emerged from the shadows. Her rather pretty face was adorned with a sinister smile as she looked down at Rias and her companions.

"Sin! In the name of the Gremory Ducal House, I will grant you death!" Rias said with a slight smile, one hand on her hip and the other pointing at the "Stray Devil," displaying the authority of a leader.

"Stop talking big, little girl!" The "Stray Devil" bared her sharp fangs, her previous beautiful appearance completely gone, replaced by an aura of evil and violence. Even her voice deepened. "Watch me dye your body with my blood, just like your hair!"

'Swish--'

The moment the words left her lips, the Monster's body, parasitized by the lower half of the "Stray Devil," suddenly leaped down from the second floor. Its claws, with red fingernails, were like sharp scythes, carving ten scarlet claw marks in the dim light as it fell toward Rias and her group.

'Click--'

The hard floor was instantly slashed with ten deep marks by those sharp claws.

However, Rias and her group had already disappeared before the attack landed.

When it reappeared, it was already several meters away.

"Yuuto..." Rias said calmly, her arms still crossed, as she looked at the "Stray Devil" who exuded a murderous aura.

"Understood!" Upon hearing the command, Kiba Yuuto's handsome face broke into a smile. He placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, ready to attack the "Stray Devil" in front of him.

"Senior Yuuto, please let me do it!"

Just then, Koneko Toujou's cool voice stopped Kiba Yuuto.

"Koneko..."

Kiba Yuuto was somewhat surprised by what Koneko Toujou said.

Even Rias and Akeno Himejima turned their gazes toward them.

The Koneko Toujou, who has always been unassuming and unassuming, has changed so much in the past month or so.

My emotions are richer than before, which is a good thing.

But they've become even more competitive!

What exactly happened to her in the past month or so?

The Koneko who had stopped Kiba Yuuto stepped forward, a hint of fighting spirit on its face. It stared directly at the "Stray Devil" who had turned to face them, and said calmly yet firmly, "I'll deal with her... I alone am enough!"

"Ara ara... Interesting!" After hearing what Koneko Toujou said, Akeno Himejima couldn't help but lift her cheek with one hand and murmur with interest.

Rias didn't think too much about it, and instead put her hands on her hips and said, "Then it's up to you, Koneko."

"Understood... Done in ten seconds!" Koneko Toujou bent down slightly, gave a cool, low voice, and then a bright smile appeared on her cute face.

"Shave--Boom!"

A sharp shout rang out, and the air seemed to explode.

The "Stray Devil," parasitizing the Monster's body, had its once beautiful yet hideous face twisted into a grotesque shape.

A small fist, covered in a layer of blue-white light, slammed into her cheek.

A small fist, covered in a layer of blue-white light, slammed into her cheek.

The powerful force blasted her and her lower body, along with the Monster's body, away.

"--All wicked ones, fear my power! Now I will possess the majesty of ten mountains, the strength of a hundred rivers, and the might of a thousand Camels! Mighty me will raise the mark of a fierce Camel!"

With a pair of black demon wings unfurling behind her, the little cat from the tower city chanted the gift Arthur had given her in a cool and indifferent tone, a layer of golden fluorescence covering her petite body.

'Whoosh-- Boom!'

The Koneko Toujou vanished into thin air as a fleeting image.

The next instant, a deafening roar exploded in the ears of Rias, Akeno Himejima, and Akeno Himejima, whose eyes Kiba Yuuto in disbelief.

Endless dust and mist spread, and the entire house shook violently.

After a long while, the dust and mist finally dissipated.

The hard floorboards have been transformed into a massive crater, several meters deep.

Numerous cracks spread and shattered many windows, and even the walls were covered with spiderweb-like marks.

The Koneko Toujou emerged from the giant pit unharmed.

The involuntary slight upturn of her lips revealed that she was in a very happy mood.

I never imagined that the one-time power granted by that freakish senior would be so immense.

Before they even exerted much force, the "Stray Devil" was crushed to pieces by itself.

For some reason, the Koneko Toujou felt a warm glow inside.

However, her performance shocked Rias, Akeno Himejima, and Kiba Yuuto.

"Akeno, it looks like we need to hurry." Rias changed her hands from the swaying chair to her arms, looking at Akeno Himejima beside her, who also showed a hint of surprise, and couldn't help but say, "I'm really curious now, what kind of person is the customer that Koneko likes... no... Koneko serves?"

"Then let's go take a look together, Minister." Akeno Himejima suppressed her reverie and said with a hint of annoyance.

Meanwhile, Arthur, who was walking on the street after leaving the villa, also sensed Koneko Toujou using his Observation Haki and used his power.

"Looks like the training has been quite effective," Arthur muttered to himself with a soft laugh as he walked in one direction.

That kiss earlier was Arthur granting the Koneko Toujou the ability to save its life.

Of course, it can also be used for combat!

The "Youth" Authority among the "Ten Incarnations" allows him to distribute Verethragna's power to designated individuals, but the method involves transmitting it verbally.

For a "God Slayer," the stronger the Authority to usurp, the greater the restrictions.

Arthur possesses "Immunity)," which can erase all negative limitations.

This gives him a far greater grasp of the "Ten Incarnations" than Godou Kusanagi.

Furthermore, Arthur can even grant other "avatar" abilities to others as one-time abilities.

But the one thing they couldn't Immunity was the demand for mouth-to-mouth contact.

It seems that this is the only way to release the power within my body!

The ability that Koneko Toujou just used was the "Camel" Authority from the "Ten Incarnations".

A one-time gift from Arthur!

Chapter 380 Severing Ties, Recognizing Master

At 9 p. m., the Kuoh Town was brightly lit.

Every household was decorated with lights, and laughter could be heard everywhere.

Following his senses Observation Haki, Arthur arrived at the front of a house with the nameplate 'Hyoudou'.

In his perception, there was a couple watching TV, and a boy in a dimly lit room watching pornographic films, doing filthy things, with crumpled tissues scattered on the floor.

"As expected of the Milk Dragon Emperor..." Arthur shook his head and clicked his tongue in slight admiration.

'Swish--'

Immediately, an invisible pressure emanated from Arthur, directly affecting the surrounding area.

Under the overwhelming power of Conqueror's Haki, the Hyoudou couple and the entire Hyoudou family all fainted, their eyes rolling back.

At the same time, Arthur's figure entered Hyoudou Ichizaki's body from the balcony entrance.

'Call--'

However, the strange smell made Arthur frown slightly. He casually waved his hand and sent a Strong Wind to sweep away all the odor from the room and carry it outside.

Stepping over to Hyoudou Ichizaki, and looking at the disheveled and desolate tree, Arthur asked meaningfully, "Aren't you going to show yourself, Ddraig?!"

"..."

Arthur's question went unanswered; the only sound in the room was the loud, audible shouting from the television, loud enough to make anyone blush.

Seeing that his words received no response, Arthur remained silent.

Instead, he casually grabbed at the air beside him.

"--With the power of my Word of Power, let justice be revealed in the world--"

"--These incantations are powerful and eloquent, the Sword of Wisdom of Victory-- "

As he chanted the Word of Power of the "Warrior" incarnation, Arthur was enveloped in a layer of shimmering white light, his demeanor becoming incredibly serene, and his emerald green eyes gleaming with a wise light that seemed to see through the very essence of the world.

In the dimly lit room, a golden light flashed and condensed into a Golden Sword with mysterious runes engraved on its blade, which Arthur held in his hand.

"--" The Red Dragon Emperor's Imperial Guard (oosted-Gear), the divine Sacred Gear residing within Ichigo Hyoudou--"

Arthur looked down at Hyoudou Isshin and chanted in a clear, cold voice, "--This Sacred Gear is one of only thirteen supreme Sacred Gear in the world today, named: ' The Longinus (Longlnus)'--"

"--One of the 'Longinus' (longinus), the 'Red Dragon Emperor's Imperial Gear,' seals the Red Dragon, one of the legendary Two Heavenly Dragons. It possesses Infinite Boost and can transfer this multiplied power to others, making it an ultimate power capable of slaying gods!--"

'Pfft--Swish!'

After finishing the chant, Arthur, holding the Golden Sword in one hand, plunged it directly into Hyoudou Ichizane's body.

In an instant, golden light and dazzling red light illuminated the entire room.

The object of Arthur's chant was not the Red Dragon Emperor 'Ye Ddraig Goh' from the Two Heavenly Dragons, but rather the "Red Dragon Emperor's Emperor's Frame Arc" that exists as Longinus.

The "Sword of Wisdom of Victory" not only possesses the power to sever divinity, but after Conceptual Enchantment, it can also weave Word of Power to sever anything familiar to Arthur.

Arthur's main goal for this trip was to retrieve the "Red Dragon Emperor's Emperor's Frame Arc" from Hyoudou's collection of Longinus.

This "Longinus" is the source of Hyoudou Issho's son. As long as this Sacred Gear is pulled out, his fate will be like that of Godo, and he will be an ordinary person from then on.

Having experienced three worlds, Arthur now understands that the world possesses the power to heal.

Having already developed a deep bond with Koneko Toujou, he wouldn't allow Hyoudou Kazuchika to show off his...

Moreover, this person is pitifully weak and is not worthy of being called "the Longinus of the Red Dragon Emperor".

'Swish--'

Amidst the shimmering golden and red light, a crimson imperial emblem emanated from within.

A transparent white light shield covered Huang Zhihui floated in front of Arthur.

'Snap--'

A crisp sound suddenly came from the palace.

The transparent white light shield suddenly shattered like a piece of glass that had been dropped to the ground.

It wasn't just the light shield that shattered, but also the "Red Dragon Emperor's Imperial Frame Panic C Soldier Illumination Mu Jun M".

From then on, Hyoudou Ichiro embarked on an extraordinary journey, just like in the original story.

· ······Requesting flowers·· ·

Reaching out, he grasped the "Red Dragon Emperor's Imperial Sword," a magical weapon floating before him, which slowly transformed into golden light and vanished.

'Bang--!'

He took out the "Red Dragon Emperor's Imperial Frame" from Hyoudou's pocket but did not leave immediately.

Instead, he gently lifted his foot and placed it on the ground.

In the next instant, the ugly thing that had been exposed, which had slipped down to the knees, went limp like a small worm.

"Hey... new partner, aren't you being a bit too ruthless?"

After Arthur lifted his foot, the "Red Dragon Emperor's Imperial Frame" he held in his hand flashed with a green light, and Ddraig's voice finally rang out.
