I don't know if I felt that a storm was coming, but many dark clouds suddenly came into the originally clear night sky, covering the full moon and making the sky dark.
The road the limousine passed by was brightly lit, but even so, it was still clearly visible that in the dim night sky, a ray of fire flashed across like a meteor and fell straight in the direction of the limousine.
Ravel Phenex carried flame wings on its back and flew like a humanoid Phoenix, constantly shortening the distance between it and the luxury limousine driving on the road.
However, before she could reach the limo, several streams of light suddenly flew out of the limo, turning into transparent birds filled with light and swooping towards Ravel Phenex.
"That's----?"
Ravel Phenex was startled, but his movements were not slow, and his whole body burned with scorching flames, wrapping them in flames as he faced the transparent birds.
.--Heng, Heng, Heng, Heng. As soon as the transparent bird touched Ravel Phenex, it was immediately burned to ashes by the blazing flames around it, causing a muffled explosion.
This did not cause any hindrance to Ravel Phenex. Ravel Phenex flew towards the luxurious limo without slowing down, making the people in the limo unable to sit still.
As the window of the limo was opened, a figure jumped out with vigorous movements and jumped onto the roof of the limo, catching Ravel Phenex's eyes.
That was a girl who was about the same age as her, maybe one or two years older than her at most.
The girl was slender, with blond hair and blue eyes. She was dressed like a maid, with her long blond hair tied into a side ponytail and her blue eyes looking straight at the incoming Ravel Phenex. She actually held a Barrett sniper rifle in her hand.
Ravel Phenex identified the other party at a glance.
"Ai Hayasaka."
Because of the previous investigation, Ravel Phenex knew the other party well and directly called out the other party's name.
As the maid and bodyguard of Kaguya Shinomiya, and having received professional exorcism training, the other party would naturally not be without any discernment.
"Phoenix's flame----Phenex?"
Ai Hayasaka's voice was not very light, but it still reached Ravel Phenex's ears on the evening breeze.
"It seems that you are the daughter of the famous Phenex Clan, Ravel Phenex·Phenex, right? What does Miss Devil do to us?"
There was not much hostility in Ai Hayasaka's tone, but the eyes that were fixed on Ravel Phenex still told others that she was full of vigilance.
"My master wishes to see your master."
Ravel Phenex glanced at the Barrett sniper rifle in Ai Hayasaka's hand without any trace, and then said these words with a smile, his attitude was indescribably calm and elegant.
"Your master?"
Ai Hayasaka was stunned, very surprised.
Phenex Clan's daughter actually has an owner?
Whose dependent is she?
Who is so capable that he can make the daughter of the Phenex Clan, who is famous in the Devil world, become his dependent?
Moreover, why does the other party want to see his master?
For the Shinomiya Family?
Ai Hayasaka's heart was filled with shock and confusion, but she quickly suppressed it.
"If you want to see my master, you can send him a greeting in a dignified manner instead of attacking him directly like this."
Ai Hayasaka's criticism made Ravel Phenex put away the smile on his face.
"What you mean is that I, the master of Ravel Phenex·Phenex, want to meet the daughter of a plutocrat named Human World, so I have to send you a greeting card. Please do so respectfully. Just go to the door?" Ravel Phenex said in a sharp tone, "Shinomiya Family's legitimate daughter, or a legitimate daughter with such an ambiguous background, what qualifications does it have to let my master come to visit me?"
"Are you looking down on Phenex? Or are you looking down on my master?"
"Answer me, exorcist."
The flames erupting from Ravel Phenex's body became more and more scorching, causing the coolness of the night to be driven away and replaced by a sultry heat.
Ai Hayasaka looked at this scene, his eyes and expression looked particularly solemn.
The flames of the Phenex Clan can burn through even the scales of a dragon. In front of it, the human body is just a piece of paper that ignites at a moment's notice. Once touched, it will instantly turn into ashes.
This flame is different from the purple flame of Mahiru Shiina, and also different from the fierce flame of Leo. It is very pure.
Although the purple flame released by "Dimension Lost" is very hot, it is essentially composed of Divine Power and Purification Power. The appearance of the flame is just an appearance. The really important thing is the Divine Power and Purification Power.
The flames released by "Zenith Tempest" are the embodiment of the power of nature. The temperature may not be high, but the scale is huge. It can easily cause natural disasters, which is very scary.
Phenex's Phoenix's flame is a pure flame with high temperature, strong attack power, and violent burning properties. After being strengthened by the characteristics of "castle", even tall buildings can be burned down at once, let alone humans with fragile bodies, so Ai Hayasaka has to guard against it.
"Unfortunately, I cannot leave the eldest lady to just a Devil."
Ai Hayasaka responded to Ravel Phenex's words while quietly loading Barrett's gun.
"Then let me try to see how much your maid weighs."
Ravel Phenex didn't waste any time. He directly expanded the flames around him and transformed into a real Phoenix, swooping towards the luxurious limousine.
"Bang!"
Almost at the same time, Ai Hayasaka fired.
It only took her a tenth of a second to complete the three steps of raising the gun, aiming, and shooting. The bullets from the Barrett sniper rifle cut through the air and shot out. In an instant, they were in front of Ravel Phenex, penetrating her flames and chest.
"Huh?" Ravel Phenex looked at the burning chest, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Is there a special bullet engraved with Exorcism Spell Formula?"
No wonder the flames that can penetrate the surface of one's body penetrate one's body. If it were an ordinary bullet, it would be melted into molten iron by the high temperature before it even touches one's body.
What a pity----
"It's of no use to me."
Ravel Phenex's pierced chest almost immediately recovered from the fluctuation of flames.
"Phenex's immortal body?"
Ai Hayasaka was stunned, but did not stop what he was doing. He continued to load the gun and fired, causing the bullets from the Barrett sniper rifle to pierce the night sky one after another and penetrate Ravel Phenex's body, making Ravel Phenex's arms, abdomen and even his head burst into flames.
Ravel Phenex relied on the power of his immortal body to directly ignore Ai Hayasaka's attack and continued to rush towards the luxury car.
"In that case----"
Ai Hayasaka saw that exorcism bullets were completely useless against Ravel Phenex, so he no longer insisted on using firearms. He took out a few talismans from his pocket and threw them at Ravel Phenex.
Instantly, the Spell Formula written on the talisman thrown by Ai Hayasaka burst into light and turned into transparent birds in an instant.
Seeing this, Ravel Phenex realized the true identity of these flying birds.
"Is it Shikigami?"
Shikigami is a spirit or creature commanded by Onmyoji. It is essentially the same thing as the familiars driven by Devil, but they are called differently and used in different ways.
The familiars driven by Devil are basically monsters obtained through contracts, while some of the Shikigami driven by Onmyoji were conquered through contracts, and some were conquered through contracts. Some of the demons that were forcibly conquered by exorcism were produced in a short period of time through Spell Formula, but in essence they are similar to the familiars driven by Devil, in that they both serve and control existences other than themselves.
The talisman thrown by Ai Hayasaka was engraved on Spell Formula who made Shikigami. The moment it was thrown, it turned into a transparent bird-like Shikigami and launched an attack on Ravel Phenex.
"It's just a makeshift familiar. Can it stop me?"
Ravel Phenex wanted to repeat her old trick and use flames to burn these transparent birds, but as soon as she released the flames, the transparent birds scattered in all directions and circled around Ravel Phenex. As they flew, they actually pulled out tracks, creating a transparent barrier and trapping Ravel Phenex in it.
"Bang!!!"
Realizing that he was restrained, Ravel Phenex instantly released the flames, causing the surging flames to burst violently and turn into billowing flames, attacking all around and impacting the transparent barrier.
What surprised Ravel Phenex was that such a surging and powerful flame of Phoenix did not break through the shackles of the barrier in the end, but was stopped instead.
"This is a special barrier for Devil. The moment the barrier is formed, a space will be formed inside that can restrain Devil Demonic Power, weakening Devil's power and making it impossible for it to break free."
Ai Hayasaka took out a few more talisman papers in his hand and said so.
"Even if you are High-Class Devil, it will take a lot of effort to break through the shackles of this barrier, but this is enough for me to fight back."
With that said, Ai Hayasaka threw the talisman paper, and the talisman paper turned into a transparent bird again, flying to the top of the barrier that bound Ravel Phenex, circling and flying with each other, and finally outlined a magic square in mid-air.
"Exorcism Spell Formula, maximum specification activated."
Ai Hayasaka recited a spell, causing dazzling lightning to emit from the magic square.
The lightning continued to converge towards the center of the magic square until it condensed into one line.
"Boom!!!"
The next second, thunder fell, and Lightning, which could cause huge damage to Devil, violently shattered the barrier that bound Ravel Phenex, and then fell on her body, swallowing her up.
The flames on Ravel Phenex's body fluctuated greatly, making her body completely collapse as if it had been scattered.
"Did you win?"
Ai Hayasaka whispered in his mouth.
This move is her trump card. In the past, many Devils fell in front of her because of this move, including two High-Class Devils.
However, Ai Hayasaka did not feel that this move could pose any threat to the Phenex Clan's Phoenix.
As expected----
"He is indeed a genius who has grown up to this day with only a quarter of the blood of an exorcist. This move makes me feel pain."
The moment the dazzling lightning dissipated, countless flames gathered together to re-form the body of Ravel Phenex.
Ravel Phenex appeared in front of Ai Hayasaka without any injuries. Ai Hayasaka's heart sank and he sighed unconsciously.
"Isn't this immortal being too shameless?"
Ai Hayasaka started to complain.
"There is no other way. It is a family inheritance and a gift from our ancestors. I and other descendants have no choice but to accept it."
Ravel Phenex looked at Ai Hayasaka condescendingly. Judging from his attitude, he was already confident of winning.
The previous confrontation had allowed Ravel Phenex to test out Ai Hayasaka's full strength.
To put it simply, the opponent's strength is indeed quite good, no less than High-Class Devil, no less than the high-ranking warriors in the church and those exorcist families, and about equal to him.
But the Immortal Body is too shameless. Let alone opponents at the same level, even beings stronger than Ravel Phenex would find it difficult to cause real damage to it and defeat the Immortal Body.
Even if Ai Hayasaka uses Spell Formula and weapons to exorcise demons, it will at most cause some pain to Ravel Phenex, but it is far from the level of defeating his spirit, body and mind.
Unless the opponent has a holy sword or a weapon like Sacred Relic that can even erase the soul of Devil, it may still make Ravel Phenex, who has an immortal body, feel afraid, just like before in Like Gremory Mansion's Riser Phenex, even though she has an immortal body, she still feels the threat of death from Asuna Yuuki and Mahiru Shiina. Otherwise, her mere exorcism power would really not be taken seriously by her.
"Again, ask your master to come out and follow me to see him."
Ravel Phenex made an ultimatum, showing his domineering nature.
Ai Hayasaka said nothing, but silently took out a handful of talisman paper, looked at Ravel Phenex, and silently rejected Ravel Phenex.
Ravel Phenex said nothing more, and the flames all over his body surged, and he rushed towards Ai Hayasaka.
"!!!"
With the flames rising, a battle began on the road in the dark.
Luxury car, inside the cabin.
When Ai Hayasaka left the car and entered into a battle with the oncoming Ravel Phenex, the air here became colder and more solid than ice cubes.
Kaguya Shinomiya was sitting in the middle of the car, arms folded, with an expression as cold as ice, silently rejecting the approach of the people around him, forming an absolute realm around him.
She has long black hair, with bangs on both sides of her hair. The irises of her eyes are bright red, and her figure is even slender than Ai Hayasaka. She is obviously the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Family, but she seems to have no intention of dressing herself up. She wears very simple clothes that are not fashionable at all, but even this simple outfit cannot hide her nobility, or in other words, her coldness, which makes people subconsciously want to stay away.
There is no doubt that this is a very cold girl, and her cold personality may be even higher than that of Yukino Yukinoshita.
But just like this, a girl who can make anyone feel timid and dare not approach casually, an uninvited guest broke into the carriage at some point.
"I shouldn't have disturbed your enjoyment, right?"
Leo was sitting in front of Kaguya Shinomiya, leaning on the soft seat, smiling and looking into Kaguya Shinomiya's cold eyes, completely ignoring the coldness around Kaguya Shinomiya.
Kaguya Shinomiya looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, his bright red eyes trembling slightly.
"Who are you?"
Kaguya Shinomiya asked coldly.
"Leo·Eligos."
Leo reported his name without any disguise.
"Please give me some advice, Princess."
