Chapter 215
Volume 2: Chapter 321 The Strongest Witch
Although Nangong Nayue had learned some magic before making a contract with the demon.
But even the most skilled magicians cannot compare to a witch like her.
The defensive magic was instantly crushed by the golden hand.
Himeragi Yukina and Kirasaka Sayaka looked shocked.
Nangong Nayue, a teacher at the Saikai Academy, is actually a highly skilled demon official with the title "Witch of the Gap".
They certainly remembered this knowledge, but they were still shocked to see the guardians who should have belonged to the Witch of the Gap now attacking their former master.
Himeragi Yukina instinctively grabbed Sekkarou and rushed over to help, but someone was faster than her.
Ren realized what was happening the moment the golden arm appeared.
He then took out Excalibur from his storage space and threw it at the hand.
The holy sword, having broken the six seals, pierced the air, bringing with it a sharp gust of wind.
Before the sharp sword clashed with the golden arm, it tore through the magical defenses on its surface, and then, with a metallic twisting sound, pinned the arm firmly to the island's ground.
A painful roar echoed from the void.
That was the guardian roaring.
However, as guardians of the demon's familiars, they do not possess much intelligence; they are more like robots.
Next.
Space was torn open, and a golden giant, comparable in size to a mountain, emerged from the crack.
Its height easily exceeds thirty meters, and even standing close, one cannot even see its entirety.
Its enormous size inspired awe, and the magical aura emanating from it stirred up the once calm sea.
The golden armor gleamed in the sunlight, and its purely mechanical construction instantly reminded Ren of those Gundams used by protagonists.
What is this?
"What a gigantic monster!"
The two priestesses from the Lion King Organization were stunned.
How did the fight suddenly jump to a sci-fi movie set?
Their knowledge of Nangong Nayue was limited to scarce information, so they didn't know what this giant golden robot actually was.
Can a witch's guardian really be something like this?!
Is that correct?
Nangong Nayue's eyes were urgent.
This is her guardian, the "King of the Ring".
It was something she obtained after making a pact with the demon, and her core power comes from it. Now that the King of the Ring has taken the initiative to appear, it proves that she has been identified as having violated the pact.
According to the contract, her life and soul would be harvested by the guardian and given to the demon.
"The King of the Ring possesses all my former power; be careful."
Nangong Nayue issued a warning.
Although the situation was urgent, she had already lost most of her power and could do nothing but offer advice based on her experience and understanding of the Guardians.
Upon hearing this, Himeragi Yukina and Kirasaka Sayaka's expressions tightened.
Not only does it possess all the abilities of the Witch of the Gap, but the Guardian's own power is also extremely immense.
The reason why Nangong Nayue was feared by the Europe demons was because she possessed unpredictable spatial teleportation magic, which allowed her to kill a large number of demons.
Now, with the core guardian who provides its power as its opponent, the difficulty level is only greater than that of Nangong Nayue herself.
And at this time...
The Guardian King of the Ring also set its first target for elimination as Ren, who had attacked it.
The holy sword was still stuck in his hand, but this did not matter much to the King of the Ring, who was not made of flesh and blood.
The King of the Ring stared at Ren.
The next second, huge ripples spread out around Ren.
This fluctuation, though appearing as ripples, is actually a high-density magic circle.
With a metallic hum, countless silver chains materialized from the void and lunged at Ren, coiling around his body like willful snakes.
The Chains of Commandment are weapons, not abilities gained through making a pact with a demon.
However, now that Nangong Nayue is unable to use spatial teleportation magic, the Chains of Commandment stored in the void naturally fall into the hands of the King of the Ring.
Nangong Nayue's pupils contracted.
Although she trusted the power Ren had shown, the Chains of Commandment were created by the gods and were incredibly strong; they could easily bind even the familiars summoned by vampires of the old generation.
Although Ren is powerful, he may not be able to compare with the gods.
But the next second...
Bang--!
The Chains of Commandment binding Ren were completely torn off, and silver metal fragments flew in all directions.
When Nangong Nayue saw that Ren had torn the Chains of Commandment apart with brute force alone, even her childish face was filled with utter astonishment.
Even the Chains of Commandment, which could be confidently bound even by True Ancestor-level familiars, were actually torn open by someone with sheer physical strength.
Even if this guy claims to be human.
But is this level of achievement truly within the capabilities of humans?
Even the former Heavenly Tribe could not break the Chains of Commandment!
But Ren didn't have time to explain much to Nangong Nayue.
The Chains of Commandment are indeed impressive, but in the world of High School DxD, they would at best be considered a mid-to-upper-tier Sacred Gear, far from being Longinus.
Ren's physical strength is now so great that he can even suppress the Demon King and Fallen Angels executives.
Breaking the Chains of Commandment is not a difficult task.
It was forged by the gods, yet he's even beaten up a god.
Seeing Ren break free of his bonds, the King of the Ring activated spatial magic.
Unstable fluctuations surged around Ren, but the next second the space shattered like a mirror.
Ren knew that the King of the Ring had just tried to use spatial magic to directly separate his body; if it were anyone else, most would have had no way to defend against it.
However, Ren's physique is now even stronger than that of the Campione!, and his magic resistance is almost maxed out, so this kind of pure magic attack is basically ineffective against Ren.
Seeing that his attack had failed again, the King of the Ring clenched his right fist and, driven by spatial magic, accelerated his punch.
Boom--!
The next second, Ren burst forth, and the holy sword that was originally stuck in the other hand of the King of the Ring instantly appeared in his hand. The blade gleamed and then instantly slammed into the King of the Ring's chest!
The immense kinetic energy instantly pierced through the golden armor on his chest, and the point of impact exploded into a dazzling burst of plasma sparks, with turbulent energy scattering in all directions.
The King of the Ring, who had been standing firmly on the earth, staggered and fell into the sea, immediately creating a huge wave tens of meters high. The King of the Ring's magical aura rapidly weakened, clearly due to the severe injury he had just suffered.
The fact that it withstood two of his attacks shows that the King of the Ring's abilities as a demon's familiar are indeed not to be underestimated.
Throughout the entire series, Nangong Nayue almost never suffered a setback. Even when she was injured, it was only because of others' schemes that rendered her unable to use her powers.
If she were to get serious, Ren felt that, apart from the four great vampire progenitors, there was probably no one else in the world who could reliably defeat her.
In other words.
Nangong Nayue is the strongest witch in the world, and the demon who made a pact with her must also be the strongest demon, without exception.
Volume Two: Chapter 322 The Golden Demon
Is it over?
When she saw the golden giant fall into the sea, its armor shattering like a mirror, Himeragi Yukina couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Don't make these kinds of promises so casually in the future."
Ren heard Yukina's murmur and a helpless expression appeared on his face.
Why do all these people like to make promises they can't keep? It's either that they'll go back to their hometown to get married after this battle, or that they'll ask "Have you taken them down?" or "Is it over?" right after they've gained the upper hand, and then the enemy boss suddenly revives with full health, or an even stronger boss appears.
Sure enough, the next second...
A spatial rift appeared where the King of the Ring had disappeared, and Himeragi Yukina, who had been lectured by Ren, saw a slightly smaller golden humanoid figure heading towards the island from afar.
Nangong Nayue's expression tightened.
"That's the demon who made a contract with me ten years ago."
Nangong Nayue recognized the golden humanoid figure at a glance.
Ren narrowed his eyes. The other person's figure was blurred in the waves, but as the energy continued to solidify, it finally revealed a tall humanoid figure wearing golden armor.
Wearing armor, his pair of bright golden eyes gleamed ominously in the dim light, and he exuded a strange and dangerous aura.
[Character: Golden King Eldritch]
[Identity: Otherworldly Demon, Lord of the King of the Ring, Demon King]
Eldritch?
Ren raised an eyebrow; he was quite familiar with the name.
After all, similar names have appeared in many movies, TV series, and games.
The only difference is their status.
Upon closer inspection, everyone was able to clearly see the Golden King's exact appearance.
Rather than saying it was wearing armor, it would be more accurate to say that its body was wrapped in a layer of armor that flowed with a dark golden luster, as if it grew out of its body, like the skin of a living being.
The armor was covered with twisted patterns, and beneath the huge golden mask was a skull with deep, hollow eye sockets that emitted a brilliant golden ghost fire, as if it could peer into the deepest desires of the human heart.
The golden laurel wreath on his head extended outwards, each spike gleaming with a cold light. In his hand, he held a scepter, the top of which was inlaid with a scarlet gem. The surface of the gem was constantly writhing, and the surrounding space was chaotic, as if it were greedily absorbing the power of space.
Is he really that handsome?!
Ren was immediately displeased.
This mere demon has such an explosive entrance! How dare he be even more arrogant than him?!
Just as everyone's thoughts were drifting because of the Golden King's appearance, the Golden King's figure suddenly disappeared and appeared on the island's ground in the blink of an eye. The scepter in his hand shone brightly and shone on Nangong Nayue.
Nangong Nayue instantly felt as if something inside her was being pulled away from her body.
The demon's goal was clear: to take the witch's soul.
However, Ren couldn't just stand by and watch it succeed. He instantly appeared beside Nangong Nayue, ignoring the soul-draining light, and pulled her behind him.
Once the target was lost, the scepter's brilliance dimmed.
The Golden King gazed at Ren's figure, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
As the highest-ranking demon, His existence can even be traced back to the ancient divine era.
Now, millions of years have passed, and those gods have long since vanished, but He alone remains safe and sound in this foreign land.
In terms of power, He is not even afraid of those true ancestors who exist in the world.
Although this human had defeated His servant King of the Ring, before this, the King of the Ring's power originated from Him, and the King of the Ring was insignificant in His eyes.
Moreover, this is a good opportunity to demonstrate our strength to the world.
This will make the humans and witches of this world understand how futile resistance is, and what the consequences of breaking the contract will be.
"Ahhh!!"
Just as the Golden King was thinking this, a heart-wrenching pain suddenly swept over him.
The intense pain caused Him to let out a piercing scream.
