Chapter 214

Catching the dragon-slaying sword swung by the dragon slayer with one hand—this guy is no longer human!

They're monsters in human skin!

The dragon slayer, defiant, began to struggle, only to find that the greatsword he gripped tightly in both hands could not be moved even an inch.

"Let go of me!"

Enraged, the dragon slayer roared, veins bulging on his forehead, muscles bulging in his arms, veins thick and throbbing, his entire body turning blood red, with a fiery aura of blood emanating from his body.

This is... a battle of wits?

Ren blinked, but since it had been bathed in dragon blood, it was more like dragon energy or something similar.

That being said...

He also felt a tremendous force struggling violently within the tiger's jaws.

It must be said that the stats of the Dragon Slayer Descendant in front of us are indeed very high.

If the opponents were Himeragi Yukina and her group, the situation wouldn't be so optimistic.

Unfortunately, his stats were higher.

Ren released his grip, and the latter felt a sudden relaxation throughout his body, falling backward due to inertia.

But as a battle-hardened dragon slayer with extremely high combat experience, he used his other hand to brace himself on the ground, while the dragon-slaying sword shone with silver light, making it spin 180 degrees in the air like a top and slash at Ren.

However, this time, he wasn't so lucky.

Just as the blade was about to strike Ren's figure vanished from the dragon slayer's sight in an instant.

No one present was aware of what had happened; they only heard a loud bang.

The dragon slayer's body slammed into the ground like an insect swatted by a fly swatter.

The powerful impact caused the entire island to tremble continuously, and billowing dust rose into the sky.

The violent tremors made everyone on the island lose their footing, and the ongoing battle was abruptly halted.

"What happened?!"

Such a huge commotion instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Himeragi Yukina and Kirasaka Sayaka's expressions changed, and they hurriedly ran towards the source of the sound.

The other criminals followed behind them.

The smoke and dust cleared.

When they saw the dragon slayer rolling his eyes and foaming at the mouth as a figure trampled underfoot like trash, they were all stunned.

As we all know, the essence of human beings is that of a repeating machine.

Seeing the dragon slayer defeated so easily, the criminals who had escaped from the Prison Barrier felt their spirits dampened.

Although this guy wasn't very bright, his strength was undeniable, yet he was still easily defeated by this man.

This guy is way too strong!

"Wow, that's amazing! They actually defeated such a powerful enemy so quickly!"

Himeragi Yukina sighed unconsciously.

"What?! I... I..."

When Kirasaka Sayaka saw Yukina praising Ren, she felt a little dissatisfied, but she swallowed back the words she wanted to say that she could do it too.

She really couldn't do that.

Bathed in the shocked and incredulous gazes of the onlookers, Ren remained nonchalant.

It was as if this was as simple as raising a hand or making a gesture for him.

And that is indeed the case.

These criminals, confined within the Prison Barrier, now appear to him like little girls, utterly unworthy of his serious attention.

Ren looked at the remaining nameless criminals and said, "You have ten seconds to go back to the prison and stay there quietly."

After saying that, he looked at the trembling female vampire and said, "Are you scared? Trembling counts as time, you know."

"Three, two, one..."

The words had barely left his mouth.

The female vampire Kiriyu Raku, trembling like a leaf, gave up struggling and allowed the Prison Barrier's barrier mechanism to drag her back inside.

Are you kidding me? Making her fight this kind of monster is worse than her just surviving in the Prison Barrier!

"Time's up. You guys were pretty brave, weren't you?"

Ren glanced around and said with a light laugh.

Under Ren's gaze, the remaining criminals felt a shiver run down their spines and a tightening in their anuses.

However, the pressure from Ren was too great, and they dared not act rashly before Ren made a move.

Then they saw Ren place the Witch of the Gap from his arms onto the ground.

"You..."

Immediately afterward, before Nangong Nayue could say anything, Ren's figure suddenly disappeared.

--Clock Up.

Accompanied by a deep electronic sound effect that seemed to appear out of nowhere, Ren instantly entered the Super Acceleration zone.

His physique has now been strengthened to the point where he can go toe-to-toe with the dragons in the High School DxD world, so even if he uses Super Acceleration for a long time, he will no longer experience the same physical burden as before.

As one of the earliest abilities rewarded by the system.

Super Acceleration is arguably the foundation of Ren's strength.

While it may not be very useful against some powerful opponents, it is a complete game-changer against weaker enemies.

Especially in the world of Strike the Blood.

When the strongest demon is a vampire, and the vampire's greatest reliance is its familiar, while the vampire itself is relatively weak in comparison, the effect of the Super Acceleration is even more significant.

Of course, cracking the Super Acceleration hack is actually quite simple.

One is having the ability to keep up with Super Acceleration.

However, even within the entire tokusatsu universe, few acceleration abilities can compare to the Super Acceleration in Kamen Rider Kabuto.

As for the annual Toei Knight Battle, it's purely for attracting viewers who enjoy watching costume battles.

The setting is entirely based on retconned material; the relative strength of the characters depends entirely on which season of a popular knight-errant drama the costume battle takes place in.

At this point, Ren suddenly thought of Grand Zi-O, who had been kicked to the side of the road by the old driver.

The characters' faces were so distorted that even Toei's own mother wouldn't recognize them.

The other is the passive perception ability of "mind's eye".

Ren was much more familiar with this ability. Not only did he possess it, but most beings in the High School DxD world, at the highest level of demons or above, possessed it, only differing in strength.

Of course, even if one possesses a similar "mind-reading" ability, it's useless if the body can't react in time.

That's the situation at least for now.

These criminals from the Prison Barrier had absolutely no martial arts skills or much combat experience.

They are labeled as dangerous magical criminals simply because the vast majority of their crimes are committed against ordinary people.

If they had all met the second standard, they wouldn't have been captured and imprisoned by Nangong Nayue for so long.

When Ren entered the Super Acceleration field, the dust in the air suddenly stopped, and the whole world was slowed down.

The ocean currents that surge due to the storm also move at an extremely slow speed.

When Ren appeared before the magical criminals, their expressions were merely solemn; they seemed completely unaware that Ren had vanished.

In fact, the world still appears normal to these people, except that Ren's speed has been accelerated to an unprecedented degree, and the time that affects him has been continuously lengthened. What is a second in the eyes of a normal person is stretched to tens of seconds, or even minutes, in his case.

Therefore, during this period, the world and other matter in Ren's eyes were relatively still.

--Clock Over.

As the deep, mechanical sound effect rang out again, Ren's figure reappeared before everyone's eyes.

However, compared to before they disappeared, the remaining four magical criminals were now lying on the ground like dead dogs, their eyes closed, fast asleep like infants.

If it weren't for the lingering faint smell of ozone in the air and Ren's departed position, it would have seemed as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than a fleeting illusion.

For Himeragi Yukina and Kirasaka Sayaka, it was all over in the blink of an eye.

"You all saw it; I was forced to do it."

Ren shrugged and shook his head with a sigh.

He had already given them warnings, but they simply wouldn't listen.

Wouldn't it be great if they could all understand human speech like that female vampire from before?

In fact, these magical criminals had quite a bit of screen time in the original work, and some even escaped capture and survived until later in the story.

However, they insisted on targeting Nangong Nayue and ran into Ren.

Kirasaka Sayaka looked at the people lying on the ground, a cold sweat breaking out on her back.

Should I be a little nicer to Ren in the future?

After dealing with the criminals who were nothing more than small fry to Ren turned to Himeragi Yukina and the others.

"Are you alright?"

"Huh? No, I... we're not hurt."

The sudden question caught the girl off guard, and she stammered a reply after realizing what had happened.

That being said, my wrist is actually a little uncomfortable, a lingering effect of the blow I took from Shutora.

However, it wasn't a serious injury, and I was basically fully recovered the next day.

Even so, Ren still tossed her a bottle of hand sanitizer.

Himeragi Yukina hurriedly caught the bottle, and looked at the complex liquid in her hand with a blank expression.

"You can use this when you're injured."

"Hmm? Okay, okay."

Himeragi Yukina blushed slightly upon realizing that she was being taken care of.

Kirasaka Sayaka also felt an indescribable sense of isolation, and her face immediately tightened.

But the next second, another bottle of liquid was thrown over. Kirasaka Sayaka hurriedly caught it, her face suddenly lighting up with surprise. "This... is this for me? I, I'm not injured."

"If you don't want it, just give it back to me."

"That's what Ren said."

"Absolutely not!"

As if it were some kind of precious treasure, Kirasaka Sayaka immediately stuffed the bottle of hand sanitizer into her pocket, her eyes warily fixed on Ren, afraid that he would take it away.

Ren shook his head, unconcerned.

After all, he'd seen plenty of arrogant people.

Kirasaka Sayaka is practically the epitome of a tsundere, and she doesn't even have to do anything to win herself over.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened.

A faint ripple appeared in the space beside Nangong Nayue, and then a huge arm clad in golden armor and made entirely of machinery stretched out from the void.

Their large hands even exceed the height of an average adult.

As soon as it appeared, the golden hand grabbed at Nangong Nayue's body. Although she was alert, she was unable to use the power of spatial teleportation magic to dodge.

This result startled Nangong Nayue, but she quickly recovered.

The vast majority of his magic and power came from his pact with the demon. Now that she has awakened on her own, it is a unilateral breach of the pact. Therefore, the being who was once a guardian has now become an executioner, ready to take her life and soul.
