Chapter 213
Ren also planned to resolve the contract issue involving Nangong Nayue first, which is why he entrusted those people to Yukina and Sayaka Kirasaka to handle.
As for something going wrong, that's impossible.
With him around, the two of them, aside from possibly suffering a slight setback due to their superior numbers, would definitely not get into trouble under his watchful eye.
"Hmph! Trying to run away?! Did you even ask me?!"
Just as Ren turned around, a roar accompanied by a dazzling flash of light plummeted downwards.
The target wasn't Yukina, but rather Ren and Nangong Nayue, whom he was holding.
"I won't let you succeed!"
Himeragi Yukina swiftly moved to Ren' side, raised the Sekkarou and infused it with spiritual power, greatly amplifying the power of the Seven-Style Assault Demon-Slaying Spear.
The gun emitted a powerful surge of magical energy, distorting the surrounding air.
Shutora's slash was completely cleaved in two by the Sekkarou swung by the girl. This sight left Shutora stunned. He hadn't expected that even when he went all out, he would be so easily blocked by this petite girl.
Volume Two: Chapter 318 I'm Not a Big Guy at All
"Hehe, it seems this little girl is much more resilient than you imagined."
The woman, sporting a seductive smile, curled her lips into a delighted smile.
She was a vampire from the old era, and also a famous high-class prostitute. Five years ago, she was discovered having sex with a prince of a small country. Fearing a scandal, the royal family decided to secretly execute her. However, they underestimated her power, and the enraged female vampire turned around and killed almost all the royal family members of that country.
"If you keep making sarcastic remarks, believe me, I'll chop you up too! You damned whore!"
Shutora immediately retorted to the woman's sarcasm, causing her face to turn pale and then flushed, and her eyes to darken.
Then he looked at Himeragi Yukina: "The grudge that hurt my pride, you shall atone with your death!"
Shutora raised his hands, Himeragi Yukina's expression turned solemn. She sensed a murderous aura that was more ferocious than ever before.
"You damn punk! What are you trying to do to my Yukina?!"
Surprisingly, it was Kirasaka Sayaka who reacted the most strongly to Shutora's taunts.
The suppressive weapon from the Lion King Organization, the "Six Styles Demon-Slaying Bow - Kōkarin," transformed into a common silver design. In response to the invisible slash launched by Shutora, Sayaka Kirasaka merely made a slashing motion towards the void, and Shutora's slash was annihilated as if it had hit an invisible wall.
This is not the girl's power, but one of Kōkarin's special abilities.
In addition to transforming into a melee longsword, it also possesses the ability to nullify physical attacks. By severing the connection between space and reality, the space cut open by Kōkarin will form a spatial rift-like existence, which can withstand almost all physical attacks.
"... Isn't this quite interesting?! You ponytail girl!"
The attack was blocked again, and a fierce look appeared on Shutora's face.
"Who's the ponytail girl?! You with that spiky hair!?"
Contrary to the high-level combat in progress, the trash-talking between the two made the fight resemble a street brawl.
Furthermore, for Sayaka Kirasaka, who dislikes men, Shutora, whose behavior is childish, violent, and arrogant like that of a primary school student, is one of the people she hates the most.
"That's why I hate men. They're smelly, barbaric, rude, and disgusting!"
He's nowhere near as serious as Ren, who occasionally jokes around and even smells nice!
The image of Ren flashed through Sayaka Kirasaka's mind.
"You stinky sister!"
Shutora swung his arms erratically, not looking like someone who knew how to fight, but just like the saying goes, "a novice can defeat a master with a flurry of punches," his superpowers allowed each swing to transform into a massive, invisible blade that tore through the atmosphere.
Its attack range reached a terrifying tens of meters, easily cutting through even reinforced concrete, making it impossible for even Kirasaka Sayaka to win easily.
"Let it resound!"
While wielding the Sayaka Kirasaka Kōkarin create a spatial barrier to block the attacks from the superpowered individuals, Sayaka took out metal talismans from her pouch and scattered them forward.
The talisman transformed into a radiant raptor in the air, attacking Shutora from all directions.
As experts in curses and assassinations, they excel at surprise attacks compared to sword sorcerers who specialize in direct combat.
However, in the face of his surprise attack, four new arms suddenly sprouted from the back of Shutora.
Wrong.
Those weren't arms, but phantom limbs formed through superpowers, and these phantom limbs could also unleash invisible slashes.
"So you were originally from... the Heavenly Tribe?"
Sayaka Kirasaka recognized him.
The Heavenly Tribe are said to be descendants of extinct demigods. As humans from the ancient era, they were naturally gifted with superpowers.
"You're right, you idiot!"
Upon realizing his identity had been exposed, Shutora burst into laughter.
"If you know, then hurry up and kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake, you big woman! I hate women taller than me the most!"
"I'm not a big guy! You're just short!"
Sayaka Kirasaka was extremely angry.
While she is indeed much taller than her peers, Shutora's height is probably less than 1.6 meters.
Upon hearing this, Shutora's expression instantly turned fierce, and his shoulders trembled violently with anger.
"You bastard! You're a big guy, yet you blurt out what others care about most: I'm injured! You human mountain range!"
"Just how big am I anyway?!"
Sayaka Kirasaka is also very self-conscious about her height. She wonders if Ren cares about taller women. After all, according to the information she has gathered, there are many beautiful girls at Ren's temporary residence, and apart from the Third Progenitor, all the other girls are quite short.
Damn it! Why do I have to care about this kind of thing?!
Thinking of this, Sayaka Kirasaka's expression became extremely depressed.
That being said, such an intense battle still put Sayaka Kirasaka at a disadvantage.
As mentioned before, Wu Weiyuan is not good at direct combat.
At the same time, Himeragi Yukina also encountered a formidable opponent.
The opponent was a ragged, emaciated old man.
The elderly man, who appears to have difficulty even walking, is actually a member of a Middle Eastern terrorist guerrilla group, a fire elf summoner, who was arrested six years ago while attempting to carry out a terrorist attack on Itogami Island.
His hands unleashed blazing flames as he attacked Yukina.
Himeragi Yukina knew she had to defeat these criminals here.
Otherwise, these criminals will bring great calamity to this place.
So, she sang a prayer during the brief moments of dodging.
"The divine son of the Suanni and the high-ranking swordsman offer sacrifices here."
"The dawn of liberation, the divine wolf of the snowy haze, swiftly use the divine might of steel to aid me in vanquishing the evil gods Hundred Demons!"
A clear and ethereal voice echoed in the sky, and the spiritual power cultivated within Yukina's body caused the Sekkarou to unleash a powerful surge of magical energy.
The flames unleashed by the Middle Eastern sorcerer were extinguished by the flashing silver spear. The Sekkarou, capable of nullifying both magic and spiritual power, is the greatest natural enemy against this type of foe.
"It seems the Lion King Organization has found a very suitable successor."
The bespectacled Genshin Meiga spoke coldly.
Because of something that happened in the past, he harbored extreme hatred for the Lion King Organization and killed thirteen of the organization's demon-hunting officers in an act of revenge.
Although he really wants to kill Himeragi Yukina now, taking care of Nangong Nayue is the most important thing before that.
The other criminals tacitly avoided participating in the ongoing battle.
Knowing they were powerless to fight off more people, they turned their attention to the man who had taken the Witch of the Gap.
Only by killing the Witch of the Gap can one gain true freedom, at which point one can wreak havoc on Itogami Island without any restrictions.
Soon the other four found Ren and Nangong Nayue, who were still on the island.
"Oh? You arrived so quickly?"
Ren, who was pondering how to break the contract, heard the noise and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Genshin Meiga: "..."
Female vampire. "..."
The gentleman in the top hat. "..."
Although they didn't know why this man could remain unmoved when he saw them, they subconsciously felt that Ren was not someone to be trifled with, so they decisively passed the trouble to the most brainless of the four.
"Go to hell!"
The man in armor raised his broadsword and leaped into the air.
Volume 2: Chapter 319 You guys are pretty brave, aren't you?
See!
The three exchanged glances, each recognizing the cunning and calculating nature in the other's eyes.
Although they were all imprisoned in the same Prison Barrier, they were not companions or allies.
They've only temporarily united because of their shared goal of killing the Witch of the Gap.
Even now, they still have to be wary of each other stabbing each other in the back.
At the same time.
The person whom everyone in the Prison Barrier assumed was mentally challenged was a descendant of Saint George, a member of the dragon-slaying clan.
Because he destroyed several cities while hunting dragons, he was wanted by countries around the world and was eventually imprisoned in Prison Barrier, which brought some peace to the area.
"Roar--!"
The dragon slayer let out a wild roar, stomped on the ground and unleashed tremendous power to leap into the air, causing even the artificial island beneath his feet to tremble slightly.
The sudden rise generated intense wind pressure, creating an invisible shockwave that reverberated in all directions.
Although his intelligence isn't exactly top-tier, he possesses extreme stats, such as high damage output with both his left and right punches.
Otherwise, a mindless battle maniac could not have remained unharmed within the Prison Barrier for so many years.
With just that one powerful and sweeping sword technique, almost no one within the entire Prison Barrier could withstand it head-on.
Even female vampires from the old generation can have their summoned familiars killed by this person with a single sword strike.
However, Ren showed no reaction to this sword strike that came from the sky; he simply stood there, appearing to others as if he had been paralyzed with fear.
Just when the three criminals who escaped from the Prison Barrier thought that Ren would be cleaved in two along with the Witch of the Gap and the earth by the Dragon Slayer, something unexpected happened.
The giant sword, carrying the power to sink a warship in a single blow, was silently blocked.
With one arm around Nangong Nayue, Ren used the other hand to firmly hold the broadsword in mid-air, preventing it from moving an inch no matter how hard the dragon slayer exerted.
"How is that possible?!"
Seeing his attack easily blocked, the dragon slayer's angry face showed surprise for the first time.
Having been baptized by dragon blood, his body became harder than steel, and he remained unharmed even when attacked by the familiars summoned by vampires of the old generation.
His power is equally terrifying; he can kill powerful familiars and dragons with a single blow.
The aftershocks created by a single swing of the sword can destroy the earth.
If he hadn't been bound by strange chains and imprisoned in a dream-like Prison Barrier by the Witch of the Gap in the past, he would have destroyed the prison and escaped long ago.
Moreover, although he had been imprisoned for nearly ten years, his strength had not diminished in the slightest during those ten years, yet now he was easily caught by a human with his bare body.
How could he not be shocked?
Let alone familiars, even those beastmen capable of transforming into divine beasts couldn't possibly withstand his attack just now, right?!
At the same time.
The three criminals who had been watching from a distance, upon seeing this scene after the smoke and dust cleared, had very interesting expressions on their faces.
Dude, isn't that number a bit too high?!
They initially thought the dragon slayer's stats were already high enough, but unexpectedly, an even more outrageous stat appeared in the blink of an eye.
