Chapter 233: Why Are You Pulling This Tragic Drama Now? / Chapter 233 ...

Even so, he was still shaken.

"What I can't stand the most in my life is someone who's more pretentious than me. Gabriel, Sirzechs, and Odin all treated me with great respect, and I even beat Azazel so badly he had a black eye. What are you guys compared to them? What are you trying to prove in front of me?"

After saying that, Ren put the gun into his storage space, since it wouldn't be of much use anymore.

Chapter 233 Why put on a melodramatic show at a time like this?

Chapter 233

"Vermilion Bird, what are you waiting for?! The elder of the Himejima Family has been killed by thugs! Subdue them at once!"

Himejima Suou immediately gave the order after realizing what was happening.

However, Suzaku Himejima remained indifferent, silently watching over her.

"Uncle, the situation of the Himejima Family is not optimistic. Reform is necessary, after all, it is also for the future of the Himejima Family. Isn't that the principle you told me?"

"..."

Upon hearing Suzaku Himejima's reply, Himejima Suou's expression instantly froze.

Immediately, his expression darkened.

"Suzaku Himejima, are you truly determined to go your own way?! Are you sure you want to bear the eternal infamy of murdering the sect leader and elders?!"

Suzaku Himejima gazed at the current sect leader and said, "I am actually a little different from my uncle, because I will also bear the dark side of this family."

After saying this, Suzaku Himejima closed her eyes.

Ren chuckled, drawing everyone's attention. "Alright, Vermilion Bird has already made a deal with me. My task now is to make you parasites disappear from this world."

As soon as he finished speaking, he drew the demon sword Gram.

This is the weapon he obtained after defeating Siegfried.

The reason why the Holy Sword is not used is that the Holy Sword in the High School DxD world cannot be stained with human blood indiscriminately, otherwise it may become a demonic sword over time.

Gazing at the demonic sword emanating black energy from Kuku, Himejima Suou and several elders all felt an immense pressure.

Knowing they couldn't persuade Himejima Suou, Suzaku Himejima and the elders exchanged glances and decided to pull out all the stops.

"Elders, I have already transmitted the message through secret training. The expeditionary force I have trained will arrive shortly. We just need to hold out for a few more minutes."

"There's only one of them. I refuse to believe that no matter how strong he is, he can't wipe us all out if we all attack at once!"

Upon hearing this, the elders exchanged glances and reached a consensus.

They were filled with rage. As high-ranking members of the Himejima Family, when had they ever suffered such humiliation? They were just waiting for Himejima Suou's order to attack and show this arrogant mercenary how big his ego was!

Unfortunately, Himejima Suou thought the same thing.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, no one dared to be the first to step forward, and no one even moved their buttocks from their chairs.

A bunch of cowards!

Himejima Suou and the elders maintained a facade of composure, but inwardly cursed each other.

However, this is for the best. If they can delay the arrival of the punitive expedition team for a few more minutes, they will be able to survive.

However, Ren did not give them any chance to stall for time.

Accompanied by the mechanical sound of "Clock Up" echoing from the void, Ren's figure vanished from their sight.

Himejima Suou was the strongest among them. She sensed the impending danger the moment Ren disappeared, but she was completely unable to pinpoint his location.

Without a second thought, he frantically channeled his spiritual power to create a fire barrier, completely unafraid of accidentally harming his teammates. The entire building burst into flames in an instant, but Ren ignored the raging fire as if no one else was there, and pierced through the heart of Himejima Suou in her astonished gaze.

"How is that possible?!"

As for the other few weak elders, they had already passed away and were waiting for him on the way.

The entire battle lasted less than ten seconds, and that was the last bit of time Ren left for himself to show off and test the Fireproof Pearl's performance.

The Fireproof Pearl not only allows him to ignore fire damage, but also protects his clothing, so he no longer has to worry about dying.

"Nailed it."

Ren returned to Suzaku Himejima's side.

The girl stood there, lost in thought, seemingly pondering something.

The fire in the building was growing larger and larger, and Ren could hear shouts coming from outside.

Numerous markers of varying colors also appeared on the system map.

After a long silence, Suzaku Himejima suddenly said, "Mr. Ren, you should leave."

"I said I would bear the darkness of this family, so I will take the blame for the deaths of my uncle and the elders alone. When the clansmen arrive, I will tell them that I was the one who did it."

Suzaku Himejima's expression was resolute.

This resolute demeanor clearly indicates that he is determined to shoulder all the responsibility.

This reaction changed Ren's opinion of Suzaku Himejima somewhat.

Hesitant before taking action, but courageous enough to take full responsibility afterward.

Although Ren couldn't predict the future, he knew that when the others arrived and saw that only Suzaku Himejima was alive, no matter how they explained it, they would definitely think that she was the one who killed the current sect leader and elders.

Therefore, even with the presence of the spirit Vermilion Bird, whether she can truly become the head of the Himejima Family remains uncertain.

With her back to the flames, Suzaku Himejima parted her bright red lips slightly, revealing what she believed to be the last smile of her life.

"Mr. Ren, thank you. I will become the head of the Himejima Family no matter what in the future."

At this point, the fire in the building grew even more violent.

The raging flames illuminated almost half the sky.

"Mr. Ren, please leave quickly. If someone discovers you, all my efforts will be in vain..."

"You're trying to play the victim with me at a time like this?"

Ren really wanted to have a deeper conversation with Suzaku Himejima to find out just how this woman's thought process worked.

He then said, "Next, I'll tell you what to do, and you do it without any questions."

"?"

"Release your spirit beast to attack me, and use your full power. Don't ask why."

Suzaku Himejima gazed into Ren's eyes, hesitated for a second, and ultimately chose to believe Ren.

Her slender fingers swiftly formed several hand seals in the air, her two palms weaving a strange shape and pointing at Ren.

"Answer my voice! Vermilion Bird, the master of the four divine fires!"

Accompanied by a loud cry, a giant bird engulfed in flames descended from the void. The fiery spirit beast emitted astonishing heat simply by flapping its wings in the air.

At first glance, it looks like a sun approaching the Earth's surface.

Those members of the Himejima Family who had originally come to help put out the fire had no choice but to stop and stare at the scene in shock.

"That's the Vermilion Bird, the spirit beast that succeeded the sect leader!"

"Lord Vermilion Bird is here too?!"

"Why display Vermilion Bird's power here? Does this mean someone is attacking the Himejima Family?!"

"..."

"Not bad, but it's still a bit lacking."

Just then...

Accompanied by a disdainful voice, a figure wearing glasses and a black robe appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, floating in the air before everyone's eyes.

Judging from his physique, he was clearly male, and his profile, illuminated by the firelight, was extremely handsome. However, no one present recognized him or knew where he came from.

However, considering what happened tonight, most members of the Himejima Family guessed that it might be someone from the Hero Faction again.

What they never expected was that the bespectacled figure confronting Vermilion Bird was none other than Ren himself.

Chapter 234 I am Li Feiyu

Chapter 234

Suzaku Himejima stood there, stunned.

Looking at the bespectacled "stranger" in front of her, she recalled the confrontation with the Black Wing executive Satanael in the Inner Shrine.

At the time, I misjudged the opponent's strength and my life was in grave danger when I was saved by a mysterious man wearing glasses.

She has been investigating the matter ever since, but has no leads.

She had previously suspected Ren, but all signs pointed to him not being the mysterious bespectacled man.

But after several months of searching, she still discovered the truth.

Ren put on a pair of glasses in front of her, and then became the man she had already cleared of suspicion.

"This isn't following the script."

Seeing Suzaku Himejima standing there dumbfounded, Ren couldn't help but grin, but he didn't care.

He looked at the spirit beast Vermilion Bird, his figure flashing and disappearing from the spot. As he poured more energy into the demonic sword, a strong black flame erupted from the blade, which then, with an incomparably terrifying aura, split the spirit beast in two.

Vermilion Bird's fall caused a backlash, and Suzaku Himejima coughed up blood and knelt on the ground.

Upon seeing this, the members of the Himejima Family were filled with rage and fury.

The situation is now quite obvious.

This mysterious person launched a night attack on the Himejima Family. The new head of the family, Suzaku Himejima, stepped forward to fight but was defeated and injured.

If even the sect leader is like this, how could these people be cowards who fear death?

"What's going on? Why is there another attack tonight?"

Hearing the commotion Minagawa Natsume and Jeanne' Arc quickly rushed to the scene.

Upon seeing the flames soaring into the sky, Suzaku Himejima, after being injured by the mysterious youth, also showed anger.

"Shikuko, let's do it too!"

Vermilion Bird is their friend.

When the Four Fiends were being harassed by various parties, it was Suzaku Himejima who stepped in and restored their dignity.

Even though he knew he was no match for his opponent, with so many people present and only one opponent, he would definitely be hesitant to act rashly!

If there are enough ants, they can even kill an elephant!

While others were making their moves, Jeanne felt that the current situation was somewhat strange.

After all, the attack came at too much of a coincidence.

Although most people believe the attackers were members of the Hero Faction, as a former member of that Hero Faction, he understood Cao Cao's thoughts very well. Even if he wanted revenge, it would definitely not be now.

Such a flamboyant style is quite reminiscent of the Hero Faction.

Of course, it also resembles someone else.

Jeanne suddenly remembered that Ren had told her he would be leaving for a while.

Could it be that...

Thinking of this, Jeanne looked up and stared intently at the figure in the sky.

Unfortunately, no matter how you look at it, it's impossible to reconcile it with the image of Ren in my memory.

"Could it be that I'm remembering wrong, or that Ren really has something else on his mind?"

After all, I don't know much about Ren yet.

Just as Jeanne was deep in thought, she suddenly felt that the sword in the other person's hand looked somewhat familiar.

'A demon, the Demon Emperor Sword Gram?'

A person can admit their mistakes, but the weapon in the other party's hand will never lie.
