It's Raining-Bring in the Laundry!

Chapter 219

After looking around and confirming that one of the Four Fiends Sacred Gears wielders was missing, Ren stopped worrying about it.

Maybe the last one has some urgent matter to attend to?

For example, when it rains, you go home to collect the laundry.

The Hero Faction and the Five Great Houses faced off from afar, the atmosphere tense and taut.

The Hero Faction kidnapped Yasaka, the leader of the Kyoto Youkai World, and went to Inner Shrine to provoke the Five Great Houses. The battle in the distance has already begun, and the great battle belonging to the main force is about to break out.

However, the five of them dared not act rashly, fearing that these "heroes" might have some hidden tricks up their sleeves that they were unaware of.

"It is a great honor to meet the heirs of the Five Great Houses. I hope you have all been satisfied with tonight's grand banquet."

Cao Cao weighed the spear in his hand and said calmly.

"You trespassed into the forbidden Inner Shrine and even injured my clan's disciples. Is this something you self-proclaimed heroes would do?"

"That's what Suzaku Himejima said coldly."

"We are all genuine descendants of heroes. As for our intrusion into the Inner Shrine, we have our own reasons. Please forgive us."

Compared to the murderous aura of the Five Great Houses, Cao Cao seemed to be in complete control.

He then turned his attention to the other people.

"Greetings, you who possess the Four Fiends Sacred Gears within you. My name is Cao Cao, a descendant of Cao Cao, the King of Wei in the Records of the Three Kingdoms. We have been searching the world for like-minded companions to join our Hero Faction. I wonder if any of you would be interested in joining us?"

Cao Cao spoke sincerely and with a steady voice, which naturally inspired goodwill in listeners.

The Five Great Houses were also bewildered by Cao Cao's sudden recruitment.

Wasn't tonight supposed to be a fierce battle?

"Please rest assured, everything I just said came from the bottom of my heart."

Cao Cao smiled.

Just then, one of the girls Minagawa Natsume, whose hair was tied with a hairpin, sneered, "Who knows if what you're saying is true? And why should we join the Hero Faction?"

"Could it be that they saw how strong we are and are deliberately avoiding battle in this way?"

"Just because we all have human blood flowing through our veins, and I know very well that you who possess Sacred Gear are considered outcasts and monsters within the Five Great Houses, and you must have suffered a lot of unfair treatment and punishment in the past. Even now, your status is probably not even comparable to that of the outer disciples of the Five Great Houses, right?"

Upon hearing this, the individuals who possessed the Sacred Gear exchanged bewildered glances.

After all, what this guy said actually made some sense?

Moreover, not only in the past, but even now, the Five Great Houses regard them as outcasts.

Cao Cao took in the expressions of those people, a smile appearing on his face. He said, "Since that's the case, why not join us? You who possess power shouldn't live such ordinary lives, your strength shouldn't be seen as dirty by those ignorant people, and you shouldn't be confined to the small Kyoto."

"And once you join the Hero Faction, your stage will become even broader than it is now."

"Imagine what would happen if you used your power to defeat a god?"

"Spreading rumors! Why waste words with this guy?! I'm going to go up there and cripple him!"

"It's hot-tempered, Byakko Shinra said fiercely."

Cao Cao, indeed.

Why don't you just say you're Zhuge Liang?!

"Wait a minute, Mr. Shinra, I have some questions I'd like to ask."

Suzaku Himejima stepped forward, glanced indifferently at the Hero Faction, and asked in a deep voice, "I just want to ask what exactly the Hero Faction is trying to do? You went to great lengths to build a large-scale magic system in Kyoto and even kidnapped Yasaka, the supreme commander of the Yokai World. If those actions can be explained, then what is your purpose in coming to the Inner Shrine to provoke the Five Great Houses?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao smiled faintly, "Perhaps I have already said it, we are human beings, descendants of famous figures in history. However, this world is currently divided up by various powers, and humanity has always been enslaved. Therefore, I want to lead these people to make a change. Whether it is a god, an Asura, a demon, or any other being, they are all enemies of humanity. They must be defeated, and only by the hands of humanity."

"You say your enemies are those Asuras and Buddhas, but we Five Great Houses are all human."

Suzaku Himejima said.

"No, that's not how it is. The Five Great Houses only selectively choose their hosts. You hosts of the Four Divine Beasts are another matter, but those humans who also possess potential have been persecuted by you. That's why the Void Cicada Organization, which rebels against the Five Great Houses, was born."

Upon hearing this, the group, led by Kise Enyu, all felt the same way.

After all, they were discovered and treated brutally by the Five Great Houses when they had just awakened their Sacred Gear.

After a long period of imprisonment, he gradually gained some freedom of movement.

Even now, their actions are still restricted.

"Hey, I was saying the Hero Faction seems to be the good guys, while the Five Great Houses are the villains, right?"

"That's what the blond-haired youth Samejima Tsunao, said."

Upon hearing this, Minagawa Natsume immediately said with dissatisfaction, "Why did your attitude change so quickly? Didn't you just say before we came that you were going to teach the Hero Faction a lesson?"

"But what this man named Cao Cao said makes a lot of sense."

The blond-haired youth said with an innocent look on his face.

"You're making me want to immediately switch sides and work for him."

"Don't talk nonsense, you big idiot! Don't you know that the Hero Faction is colluding with the Void Cicada Organization? The Void Cicada Organization has attacked ordinary people before."

"This... it seems so! That was close! I almost fell for your tricks!"

Seeing Samejima Tsunao insults at them again, the members of the Hero Faction were speechless.

This guy's brain isn't working too well.

Wouldn't recruiting people like this lower the average IQ of the Hero Faction?

"Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say. As the guardians of Kyoto, we will naturally bring you terrorists who have caused chaos in Kyoto to justice."

Suzaku Himejima spoke calmly.

"Gentlemen, please fight alongside me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, scorching crimson flames expanded around Suzaku Himejima's body.

The temperature in the atmosphere rose sharply.

"What a beautiful spirit beast!"

Cao Cao sighed, then took the holy spear from his shoulder and said, "In that case, I'll take care of Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, and Dog God. You can deal with the rest."

"Ren, you're in charge of protecting Georg. He can't get hurt during the experiment."

After speaking, Cao Cao unleashed the Holy Spear with a smile.

The spear tip opened, and a dazzling golden aura emanated from the spear shaft, forming a blade of energy.

The moment the Holy Lance was unleashed, the atmosphere in the space trembled.

In an instant, all ten people confronting the Hero Faction felt a strong sense of unease.

Chapter 220 Goo, kill me!

Chapter 220

The sacred aura shook the space, and even just looking at it made them feel an immense sense of oppression.

Several girls with slightly weaker fighting spirit were dazed and their will to fight diminished significantly when they saw the Holy Lance.

Seeing this, the black dog beside Kise Enyu let out an uneasy howl, pulling the group back from the brink of losing control.

"Blade, is it trembling?"

Kise Enyu stared incredulously at his independent materialized Sacred Gear.

Ever since he awakened this strange little dog, the members of the Five Great Houses have been observing him with a more unusual gaze than anyone else.

After that, he also learned about his Sacred Gear, which was extremely special even among all types of Sacred Gear.

Because it is Longinus, it possesses power far greater than ordinary Sacred Gear, enough to slay gods.

However, would even Longinus be afraid of a holy spear?

Realizing what had happened, they looked at Cao Cao in astonishment, but dared not look at the spear in his hand again.

"That gun is strange; be careful not to stare at it for too long!"

Suzaku Himejima reacted quickly.

The roar of the spirit beast Vermilion Bird also shook the air currents, but compared to the fluctuations of the Holy Spear, it could only barely hold on.

"What is that gun? I just... I think I saw my great-grandmother."

"I can't believe it, "Minagawa Natsume asked incredulously.

At the same time, he summoned his own Sacred Gear.

The sound of flapping wings echoed from the void, and a huge raptor landed in front of the girl. It was a monster with the upper body of an eagle and the lower body of a lion, and it was the "Qiongqi" among the Four Fiends Sacred Gears.

"Wow, what a terrifying weapon! Even the lion residing inside me is trembling."

It was Saori Tojo who spoke.

She was once captured by the Void Cicada Organization, and together with Witch's Night, they forcibly inserted the "Cowardly Lion," one of the three magical beasts of Oz Country, into her body. She had been recuperating during the last battle for Inner Shrine and was only able to move around freely after everything was over.

"Everyone be careful, that gun is the most powerful Longinus, 'The Twilight Holy Spear'."

Suzaku Himejima also knew very little about the Twilight Spear, so he could only offer verbal reminders.

Although they didn't know the exact power of the Twilight Spear, the title of "strongest" still put them under immense pressure.

No wonder these Hero Faction dared to cause trouble in the Kyoto. Cao Cao alone would probably be enough to turn the Kyoto upside down.

"Then it's my turn to go on stage."

Siegfried drew his demon sword from its sheath at his waist, his gaze locking onto the Kouryu Hyakki and Samejima Tsunao.

Heracles, on the other hand, set his sights on the Byakko Shinra and the Genbu Domon.

"Then I'll take care of the little girl holding the animal."

Jeanne knew she also needed to intervene, so she set her sights on Shichitaki, the holder of Four Fiends magical "Taotie" weapon among the Nanataki Shiguko.

"Alright, in that case, I'll go deal with the last two."

Minagawa Natsume had fallen behind, narrowed her eyes and stared intently at the two figures at the very back of the group.

One was a young man dressed in a mage's robe, and the other was a black-haired young man who looked relaxed and carefree, more like a tourist than a fighter.

Cao Cao had previously asked him to protect the magician, so it's likely that he was preparing for something very important.

Moreover, the Nine-Tails, the supreme general of the Yokai World, was behind those people, and his Sacred Gear was best suited for speed, making it perfect for a sneak attack.

Therefore, the moment the battle began, Minagawa Natsume retreated into the shadows with her Sacred Gear Griffin.

Using the shockwave and flames of the explosion as cover, they quickly approached the rear of the Hero Faction, getting less than fifty meters away from Ren.

"Alright, this is the perfect distance to attack!"

Minagawa Natsume murmured to herself.

Meanwhile, Ren had already seen Minagawa Natsume lurking in the shadows very clearly.

That said, this girl's stealth skills are pretty terrible. Does she think he's some kind of brainless villain from a movie, or an NPC in a game whose reactions are slower than an old lady?

However, since Ren and the Hero Faction were not on the same page, if Minagawa Natsume's target was Georg, he could barely pretend not to see it.

Some people just love to court death.

Minagawa Natsume thought it would be better to take out Ren, who was her bodyguard, first, so she ordered her Sacred Gear, Griffin, to attack.

Upon receiving the command, the independent materialized Sacred Gear transformed into an arrow and shot out instantly, closing the fifty-meter distance in a matter of moments.

But just as Griffin was about to touch Ren, he casually raised his hand and grabbed the chick in front of him with all five fingers.

The supersonic attack, capable of easily shattering concrete, was blocked by Ren to Minagawa Natsume's incredulous gaze. Rhodes then grabbed her by the neck with his Sacred Gear, rendering Griffin's struggles futile.

"Griffin!?"
