How Did One Go Missing?

Leonardo paused, then retorted, "Hmph! I won't be fooled by your provocation. You're not the host Annihilation Maker; you wouldn't know how to create a powerful magical beast."

Upon hearing this, Ren immediately smiled.

"Then I'll give you an example. You then create a magical beast based on my description, and we'll see if your imagination is better than mine."

Upon hearing this, Leonardo immediately agreed.

"You tell me, and I will construct the model you imagine in my mind and then create it."

"Don't rush, let me think about what I'd like you to create."

After speaking, Ren fell into deep thought.

Having watched numerous tokusatsu films, imagining the design of the monster was incredibly easy for him.

However, a problem arises.

With so many monsters in tokusatsu shows, which one should he choose to use?

After all, he has far too many trump card monsters in his head.

The Gatanozoa, the cosmic dinosaur Zetton, the Jumbo King, the Shilari, the Codalar, the Gransphere, the Zogu, and Dark Zagi, etc.

No, Dark Zagi shouldn't be considered a monster.

Leonardo was initially a little worried, but seeing Ren deep in thought and silent for a long time, he figured he was just bragging without any basis.

Just as he was about to make a sarcastic remark, Ren clapped his hands and said, "I've got it! But first, I need to ask you how you want to add abilities to magical beasts?"

"Imagination is possible, but some abilities cannot be attached even if imagined. For example Fenrir's God-Slaying Fangs, which can kill even gods, would fail to attach even if imagined."

Leonardo said.

He guessed that Ren would indeed want to do that.

But Ren had already done what he wanted to do.

Of course, it's impossible to attach such outrageous abilities; otherwise, the Annihilation Maker would definitely be the world's number one Longinus.

"So weak."

"..."

"This one will do. I'm going to start describing it."

Ren cleared his throat.

"Human form, with a crying expression on its face..."

Leonardo was initially dismissive.

His most perfect creation among humanoid monsters is the Black Combater; to surpass him in this aspect is simply a pipe dream.

However, as Ren's description became more and more detailed, Leonardo's expression gradually changed.

By the time everything was finally completed, Leonardo's contempt had completely vanished.

The monster's face was a deathly pale, tearful expression that never changed, like a sorrowful mask frozen in time. Its forehead glowed like solidified magma, continuously emitting a dark red light. A pulsating orange-yellow gem crystal was embedded in its left chest. Its entire body was covered in a dark brown cloak with crisscrossing band-like patterns. Its muscles bulged high, and all the key parts of its body were covered with hard exoskeleton armor.

Its arms are thick and strong, with sharp protrusions on its wrists and incredibly sharp fingers that can even cut through the air with a shriek when swung.

Leonardo was deeply shocked by the demonic appearance.

Moreover, according to Ren's description, this new type of magical beast also has the ability to transform into two forms: a power form, in which the muscles and armor of its entire body will increase significantly, and an aerial form, in which wings can grow from its back, granting it the ability to fly.

Leonardo had considered the idea of changing form before.

However, the abilities he bestows upon magical beasts must be compatible with the beasts themselves; otherwise, it will not succeed.

However, the magical beast that Ren created was extremely perfect; all the abilities he spoke of were perfectly suited to this terrifying body.

For Leonardo, who has a passion for art, this monster is simply a perfect work of art.

Compared to the monsters he created, even putting aside their strength, their appearance alone would easily surpass them by several streets.

Chapter 218 - Where is one missing?

Chapter 218

This new monster exudes a violent yet beautiful aura.

It was simply the most perfect work of art he had ever seen!

"That's actually pretty good."

Not only was Leonardo surprised, but Ren himself was also shocked.

He came to Leonardo simply to see what Annihilation Maker could achieve.

Only after the Kyrieloid from Ren' memories were perfectly replicated did he realize just how high the limits of this thing were.

Moreover, its manufacturing efficiency is even higher than that of Sphere.

After all, Sphere still needs to find something to fuse with, but this thing can be mass-produced just by imagining it.

The only difference, if any, is their body shape.

This is normal, of course.

If Leonardo can truly create the Kyrieloid perfectly, then no other faction will stand a chance.

"I can't believe you actually did it! This magical beast is more powerful than any I've ever created before."

Leonardo said excitedly.

Because Ren described it in great detail, and because he paid close attention, the beast's strength was already comparable to that of a high-ranking demon.

At this point, Leonardo blushed as he looked at Ren's face and lowered his head.

"I was rude just now. You've shown me that there are always people more capable than you, and that there's always something beyond your understanding."

Why are you blushing like a bubble teapot?

"Try to be normal, I suddenly feel nauseous."

"That's what Ren said."

"Huh? Did my ability when I created the monster affect you? I'm sorry."

Leonardo immediately apologized.

Ren was quite helpless. If Leonardo were a beautiful girl, he would be quite happy, but since he was a cute little boy, he would politely decline.

Moreover, in the world of High School DxD, besides being filled with beautiful women, there are also an unusually large number of hidden perverts.

There are two of them by Rias's side.

Leonardo, oblivious to Ren's ulterior motives, said with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "There's one more thing. Since you're the creator of this magical beast, could you give it a name?"

"Let's call them the Kyrieloid."

"Kiri Elorod, a human?"

Leonardo was somewhat puzzled. He had originally thought that Ren would have a rather imposing-sounding name, but he hadn't expected it to be so... ordinary.

However, he couldn't say much, since it wasn't something he could just imagine.

"Actually, I have quite a few other ideas."

"That's what Ren said."

"I'm all ears."

Leonardo immediately adopted a humble and eager-to-learn demeanor upon hearing this.

Then, Ren described the images and abilities of several final bosses from the Ultraman TV series that he remembered.

Examples include the space dinosaur Zetton and the dark ruler Gatanothor.

Leonardo, true to his lineage as a genius artist, sketched several lifelike monster illustrations on paper based solely on Ren's descriptions.

When Leonardo saw the monster he had drawn, his admiration for Ren deepened.

The appearance and abilities of these monsters are completely out of place in this era, as if... as if they were real creatures.

However, after a second thought, Leonardo dismissed the idea.

If these magical beasts truly existed, the world would probably be in chaos long ago.

Furthermore, if this is true, what kind of being is Ren, who witnessed it?

Therefore, Leonardo simply felt that Ren's imagination was superior to his own, that of a genius artist.

Just as Leonardo continued to humbly seek advice, other members of the Hero Faction approached and said, "Cao Cao has sent word that we should take our positions; the allied forces of the Five Great Houses have arrived."

"All right."

Upon hearing this, Leonardo could only suppress his thirst for knowledge.

After parting ways with Ren, they continued with the final adjustments.

Unfortunately, he currently lacks sufficient magic power to create new magical beasts; otherwise, he would definitely have created all the magical beasts that Ren named Gatanothor, Zetton, and Dark Zagi.

The cold wind that blew in after leaving the subway station brought Ren back to his senses.

Then he slapped his forehead. "Oh no, haven't I just given the Hero Faction an extra fighting force? I wonder if the Five Great Houses can hold out."

"Whatever, I don't care. Anyway, I didn't create it. I'm just a copycat of ideas."

Before Ren could return to his original position, a deafening explosion and an energy surge that shook the ground erupted from the subway station behind him.

The war has begun.

The Five Great Houses, together with the Yokai World, searched for a day and a night, but apart from discovering that the airflow direction in Kyoto was different from usual, they could not find a trace of Yasaka.

Left with no other option, they could only follow the convergence of the air currents, hoping to find something.

Even though they knew it was a trap set by the Hero Faction, none of the Five Great Houses cared at all.

They came to their territory and even provoked the five major families. Did they really think they were made of clay?

Therefore, the Five Great Houses selected to participate in this expedition were all the elites among the elites of their respective clans.

The younger generation, who are inhabited by spirit beasts, all took to the field, and the wielders of the Four Fiends Sacred Gears and the Longinus "Dog God of the Fallen" were also present.

In addition, there are a hundred elite Onmyoji.

With so many people directly confronting them, tell me, how can the Five Great Houses possibly lose?!

However, just as the allied forces of the Five Great Houses settled down, Cao Cao ordered Georg to separate the members of the Five Great Houses and then teleport them to another world.

Those elite Onmyoji were then teleported to the front lines where Leonardo was stationed.

Meanwhile, the spirit beast hosts of the Five Great Houses, the holders of the Four Fiends Sacred Gears and the Dog God were directly teleported to his front.

As Ren returned to his original position, the main fighting force of the allied forces slowly emerged amidst the thick fog.

Although they were the younger generation and knew that a tough battle was coming, they still seemed somewhat flustered at first when faced with the teleportation of "Absolute Mist".

Ren also carefully observed these people.

When he last came to Kyoto, the only person he met was Suzaku Himejima; he hadn't even seen the others. This time, he could take a closer look.

To his surprise, there were exactly five men and five women.

There were just a few men.

The only two things that caught Ren's attention were a school uniform-wearing youth sitting next to a dog named Kuku that emitted black smoke.

His appearance is not much different from the gentle male protagonist in many Japanese school romance anime, but his school uniform makes him stand out.

As for the other one...

Wow! Baldy!

Of the remaining five girls, one was Suzaku Himejima, whom they had already met, but who was even more beautiful than in the morning; a yellow-clad loli carrying a tortoise shell; a sailor-uniformed girl; a black-haired girl in a fitted short skirt; and a blonde girl in a maid outfit.

Ren glanced at the information of the ten people.

They are: Suzaku Himejima, Kouryu Hyakki, Kushihashi Seiryuu, Genbu Domon, and Byakko Shinra.

Kise Enyu, Toujou Minagawa Natsume, Saori Tojo Natsume, Samejima Tsunao, Nanataki Shiguko.

Hmm? Why is one of the Four Fiends Sacred Gears missing?
