Collapse, Traveling From the Moonlit Oath

In the arcade in Koma Village.

At this moment, a crowd of spectators had gathered around a pinball machine, all of them focusing their attention on the white-haired girl in the center.

They especially noticed the piles upon piles of steel balls placed beside her.

Pachinko, a popular pastime in the island nation comparable to Mahjong in China, could be found in almost every region. Koma Village was no exception.

The game involved launching steel balls, which would travel along a track, collide with the pins on the machine, and finally fall into a hole to win prizes.

It sounded simple, yet it was incredibly addictive.

Players in the island nation spent over 200 billion US dollars annually on pachinko. For a long time, the industry's annual revenue was twice that of the country's automobile exports and 30 times the annual gambling revenue of Las Vegas. It accounted for 4% of the island nation's GDP, demonstrating its immense popularity.

After Miss Moonlit left Kuoh Academy, she happened to pass by and became interested. She hadn't expected her luck to be so good, winning so much in such a short time.

With this luck, coupled with her beauty, the people nearby stopped playing and simply watched the girl play...

"Isn't this very simple?"

"Next time, I'll bring a human to play with!"

Miss Moonlit was overjoyed, looking at the steel balls that were almost overflowing beside her.

Seeing the rising jackpot probability on the machine, Miss Moonlit didn't hesitate and continued to shoot steel balls, trigger the draw, shoot, trigger the draw... an endless cycle.

Unknowingly, several hours passed. Miss Moonlit's excitement faded, and she found it uninteresting.

The steel balls couldn't be exchanged directly for money; it required a series of steps. Miss Moonlit took all her winnings to exchange them for "token cards."

Then, she left the pachinko parlor and found a "prize exchange store" nearby. With the token cards, she could exchange them for corresponding cash or other items.

Miss Moonlit didn't ask for money, as she wasn't lacking it. Instead, she set her sights on the latest handheld game console and a rabbit plush toy that was one meter tall.

The token cards in her hand were just enough to exchange for both items, so she directly asked for the console and the plush toy.

Putting away the handheld console, Miss Moonlit hugged the soft rabbit plush toy and prepared to go home. However, there were no pedestrians on the road at this time; it was deserted.

A hint of loneliness welled up in her heart!

Hugging the plush toy, Miss Moonlit buried her face in the fluffy rabbit doll. She rubbed her small head, feeling a sense of comfort, before continuing forward.

She seemed far less strong than she imagined.

Before long, Miss Moonlit suddenly stopped. Her crimson eyes scanned her surroundings, clearly sensing something was wrong.

"Something's wrong..."

It was still early, so why hadn't she seen a single pedestrian on her way? This was highly suspicious.

The girl sniffed the air lightly, and the scent in the air had also changed.

She was being targeted!

Miss Moonlit placed the rabbit plush toy into her system's warehouse to prevent it from being damaged later. She then looked up at the sky, a divine artifact's unique evil glint flashing in her eyes.

"It's a barrier."

At some point, she had entered a barrier prepared by someone else. No wonder the road was so deserted, with no people around.

Was it a demon?

Subconsciously, Miss Moonlit thought of Rias and Sona Sitri. After all, this was their territory, the domain of demons...

The girl didn't doubt the demons' abilities. Perhaps she had been targeted by demons the moment she stepped into Koma Village. As for why they were making a move against her, it wasn't strange!

In the eyes of many factions, she was a dangerous individual. She had killed countless demons, fallen angels, church members, and warriors from other pantheons...

For any bounty target, she would either kill them or strip them of their divine artifact. Only when facing innocent or kind targets would Miss Moonlit provide compensation after taking their divine artifact.

Conversely, for those she deemed evil, there was no need to hold back!

However, most bounty targets in this world were not human; they were inherently malicious and cunning.

Especially the demons and fallen angels from Europe and America, who were far less benevolent than the demons like Rias in the story.

Thinking about it, she had indeed offended quite a few people!

There was no helping it; to obtain crystals, she had to constantly complete commissions. Only then could she raise her Valkyrie rank to SS or above.

She didn't want to stay in this world forever. There were so many worlds waiting for her to explore and travel. Staying in just one world was too boring!

Exploring new worlds and traveling to new places required sufficient strength for self-preservation, which in turn required diligently earning crystals.

It was a continuous cycle...

"They're here!"

Since Miss Moonlit sensed something, a chainsaw instantly appeared in her hands. The saw blades spun rapidly, emitting a terrifying sound.

The girl, gripping the chainsaw handles with both hands, suddenly slashed towards her side. A mass of dark magical energy was easily cut by the chainsaw; even magical energy could be severed by the chainsaw!

However, this was just the beginning. A tiger's roar sounded from the side, and a monster about three to four meters in size appeared out of nowhere, pouncing towards the girl like a tiger.

The monster had the head of a tiger and the tail of a snake, along with a pair of enormous demonic wings. In short, it was a strange creature no matter how you looked at it.

However, the monster's strength was considerable, possessing at least an upper-class level of power.

"Is it a Magical Beast?"

Moonlit raised her chainsaw and met the monster's attack. Sensing the potent demonic energy emanating from it, she began to form a guess.

She had encountered similar monsters before; they were magical beasts summoned from the Underworld.

The Underworld was the territory of demons, but it was vast. Even demons couldn't fully explore and occupy it, with parts of it being overrun by these magical beasts.

Some of them were even Demon King Class magical beasts, whom even Demon Kings dared not provoke lightly. In a way, even evil dragons, more terrifying than the Five Great Dragon Kings, fell under the category of magical beasts – dragon-type magical beasts.

But why would there be magical beasts here?

Someone must have arranged this, to deal with her!

And that barrier too, it was probably to prevent any other repercussions, right?

Could it really be Rias's doing?

Many thoughts flashed through Moonlit's mind in a short time, but her actions were unaffected. She increased her strength, a glint flashing in her eyes. The magical beast before her was affected by the power of her Evil Eye, and the next second... a red saw-like shadow flashed, and the terrifying magical beast was directly cut down by the girl!

However, before Miss Moonlit could examine the monster's corpse, a faint flute melody sounded. The melody was filled with strange demonic power, as if it was influencing something...

Moonlit followed the direction of the flute music, transforming into a swarm of bats and flying rapidly. Soon, she discovered an unfamiliar man dressed as a priest.

As if noticing Moonlit's arrival, the priest's eyes held a deep sarcasm, as if he was waiting for the girl to approach.

Moonlit frowned slightly. This wasn't Rias's arrangement. From what she knew, Rias wouldn't cooperate with the Church and a Lost Priest.

This only made her more confused!

Then, as if remembering something, the girl's gaze became firm. No matter what schemes or masterminds were involved, as long as she was strong enough, she would just charge forward.

Even if she couldn't win, Moonlit had a backup plan to escape!

"Disappear for me!"

Clutching her chainsaw, Moonlit leaped towards the priest before her, smashing down with all her might.

But the next moment, several strangely shaped magical beasts suddenly appeared before the priest, pouncing on Moonlit with reckless abandon.

Moonlit mercilessly cut them down with her chainsaw. Just as she was about to reach the priest, she suddenly sensed something and quickly retreated.

As expected, after Moonlit retreated a certain distance, a massive spear of light was projected there, causing immense destructive power!

"Oh, you actually dodged? As expected of the Blood Moon Princess!"

A figure appeared in mid-air, speaking with slight surprise. Clearly, the spear of light was projected by him.

"Fallen Angel..."

Seeing the figure that appeared, Moonlit felt a bit surprised.

This was no ordinary Fallen Angel, because the black wings on his back numbered three pairs, a six-winged Fallen Angel. He was the most powerful Fallen Angel Moonlit had encountered so far!

Before, she had mostly faced two-winged Fallen Angels, and only occasionally encountered four-winged ones.

A six-winged Fallen Angel was already considered a high-ranking official. Compared to the Angels, there was only one Fallen Angel Governor-General with twelve wings.

His subordinates were only ten-winged or eight-winged Fallen Angels.

While the number of wings wasn't an absolute indicator of strength, Fallen Angels and Angels with more wings were definitely not weak.

Besides this Fallen Angel, Moonlit also noticed that one magical beast after another had appeared around her without her realizing it.

Their strength was not simple; the weakest were intermediate magical beasts!

These magical beasts were clearly abnormal. Moonlit thoughtfully looked at the flute in the priest's hand. It was that flute that had summoned the magical beasts...

"Lord Fallen Angel!"

At this moment, the priest stopped playing the flute and looked at the Fallen Angel in the sky like a fanatical believer. His fervent faith left no doubt that he could give his life for him.

Most of the Lost Priests who followed Fallen Angels were those who had betrayed the Church and defected. They could all be considered traitors, with only a very small number having other reasons.

Fallen Angels themselves were similar, having fallen from being Angels. Therefore, Lost Priests and Fallen Angels were naturally in the same camp.

This priest was originally a fanatical believer of the Church, but due to an accident, he learned something he shouldn't have, and his faith collapsed. It was the appearance of the Fallen Angel that allowed him to re-establish his faith, transferring his faith in "God" to the Fallen Angel.

In his eyes, both Fallen Angels and Angels were the same; they were the deities he worshipped!

More importantly, the Fallen Angel had also bestowed upon him such a powerful Divine Artifact, allowing him to demonstrate his value to his "deity."

"Well done, all of you, come out!"

The Fallen Angel nodded at the Lost Priest and continued speaking to another side.

It turned out that there wasn't just this one Lost Priest here; there were others as well. To ensure they could capture this troublesome individual, the Fallen Angel had made foolproof preparations.

Chapter 51: Star Breaker · Vikrant (4K)

As the six-winged Fallen Angel commanded, several more Lost Priests indeed walked out from not far away, and they were all holding Artificial Artifacts.

They weren't just any ordinary artifacts either; they were replicas of Sacred Gears and top-tier Divine Artifacts. Although there were side effects and replication failures, they still possessed capabilities comparable to top-tier Divine Artifacts.

Such high-end Artificial Artifacts were few in number even within the entire Divine Child Research Institute.

But now, to deal with this vampire girl, he had used his authority and other means to bring out so many.

"You've disrupted so many of the [Divine Child Overseer]'s plans and targets, causing us heavy losses. This time, let's see how you escape."

The "Divine Child Overseer" (grigorl) is the core research institution of the Fallen Angels, and also their most important department. This is because it was established by the Governor-General, and the main high-ranking officials of the entire Fallen Angel faction hold positions within it.

The purpose of this department is to research existing Divine Artifacts and create Artificial Artifacts. Although their performance is not as good as the original Divine Artifacts, they can be comparable in special circumstances.

However, high-end, top-tier Artificial Artifacts are not yet mass-producible and are extremely limited in number. Only the more common Divine Artifacts can be mass-produced as Artificial Artifacts.

But the Fallen Angels have no interest in these Artificial Artifacts; they are almost always directly bestowed upon the Lost Priests, Lost Pastors, Nuns, and Exorcists who have defected to them.

They are targeting the Blood Moon Princess before them because this beautiful Vampire has not only killed many of their people in Europe and America but has also destroyed several research institutes and forces they supported.

For example, when high-ranking members of the Church, along with the results of their church laboratories, defected to the Fallen Angels, the Fallen Angels did not refuse them. Instead, they provided significant funding to continue their research.

The most direct example is the Church's Holy Sword Project. The Archbishop defected to the Fallen Angels, and the Holy Sword Project, along with other research, is still ongoing.

However, over the years, this Vampire has destroyed more than one research institute under the Fallen Angels' banner. This alone is not the main issue; what's even more infuriating are those Artifact Wielders.

The existence of the "Divine Child Overseer" is precisely to research those Artifact Wielders, to strip them of their Divine Artifacts, and to study the Divine Artifacts!

Many excellent targets that the Divine Child Overseer had set their sights on were snatched away by this Vampire. Either the target's Divine Artifact was taken, or the target themselves was directly killed.

In a way, compared to the Church and the Demons, the Fallen Angels harbor a greater hatred for this Blood Moon Princess.

It's just that every time the Fallen Angel higher-ups wanted to deal with her, they were always a step too late. This Vampire never stayed in one area for long.

But this time, it's different.

The target of this Six-Winged Fallen Angel was originally an Artifact Wielder in the Tokyo area. It was speculated that they possessed a powerful Divine Artifact, second only to Sacred Gears. They intended to strip the artifact from them, but instead, they discovered the Blood Moon Princess's presence first.

Compared to this beautiful Vampire, their original target became insignificant.

For this reason, he returned to the Fallen Angel base, prepared thoroughly, and intended to take her down alone.

This way, all the credit would be his alone.

Recalling the last time they reported about this Blood Moon Princess to the Governor-General. Although Lord Azazel didn't show any anger, he seemed very interested in her.

And that was enough!
