Chapter 217
Golden photon patterns spread along the armor, and golden eyes suddenly lit up.
After the scorching flames that had made the demon feel dissipated, Ren was seen wearing a purple suit of armor with a cross on his chest.
Time seemed to stand still; the two horns on his forehead were slightly raised, and an invisible aura crushed everything like a tsunami.
At this moment.
Not only was the Golden King deeply moved, but Himeragi Yukina and Kirasaka Sayaka, who were witnessing Ren' transformation for the first time, were also stunned on the spot.
Because in their eyes, what descended was not merely warriors, but walking saints.
Golden King: "Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"
The Golden King was stunned when he sensed the sudden surge in Ren's aura.
Why didn't you say so sooner if you were so awesome?!
Look, this is a misunderstanding. Let it go this time, but don't do it again next time!
The Golden King nonchalantly retracted his fangs, straightened up from his voyeuristic pose, and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace onto his skeletal face, "Um, I suddenly remembered I have some things to take care of at home. I forgot to hang the laundry I just washed to dry, so I'll head back now. Please make yourself at home."
Ren approached slowly, his face covered by a mask, yet he appeared exceptionally sacred amidst the swirling aura surrounding him.
Of course, this seemed quite terrifying in the presence of the Golden King, who was a demon.
Even though being a demon doesn't require much physical activity, he still couldn't help but swallow hard, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
"You... you don't come any closer!"
Screaming in terror, it desperately tried to distort space, attempting to escape from the human world.
The human world is too dangerous; He must hurry back to the alien realm!
However, before the spatial teleportation magic could take shape, the complex and obscure patterns were crushed by Ren's foot, and no matter how much it struggled, it was to no avail.
Ren looked into His eyes and said, "Eldritch, you are too dangerous. Your power must be limited."
Golden King: "???"
As soon as he finished speaking, purple flames spread throughout his body, Golden King's body convulsed violently.
The calamity fire can purify everything, even scorching the soul.
Just before his consciousness faded, Ren pulled Master Ball from his storage space and threw it at the Golden King, who was now almost a charred corpse.
The red and white Master Ball traced a perfect parabola in the air and struck the Golden King precisely on the forehead.
A snap.
The Master Ball split open, and a beam of light shot out, completely enveloping the Golden King and absorbing it.
The Master Ball fell to the ground, trembled slightly a few times, and then came to a stop.
To increase the success rate, Ren deliberately brought the Golden King to the brink of death; otherwise, he might have wasted a Master Ball.
When the Golden King was subdued in front of everyone, Himeragi Yukina and Kirasaka Sayaka were dumbfounded.
They had initially thought that Ren would destroy the demon.
But who could have imagined that Ren would take out an unknown, exquisite little ball, throw it at the demon's head, and then collect it inside?
What kind of new sealing method is this?
It's actually quite easy to use!
"Finally done."
Looking at Ren again, his armor transformed into countless particles of light and dissipated, revealing a nimble figure that emerged from them. He picked up the Master Ball from the ground and stored it in his storage space.
It has to be said, the Golden King is quite difficult to kill.
Not only was its recovery ability questionable, but its strength was at least at the level of High School DxD demon king, and it had a lot of health. It took more than ten seconds for it to be on the verge of death after being purified by him.
Seeing this.
Nangong Nayue let out a deep breath.
So, the shackles that the demon had placed on her have been removed?
But why does the Prison Barrier still exist?
And shouldn't she start from scratch from now on?
Compared to her past self, Nangong Nayue only felt that she was pitifully weak now.
Ren, sensing her thoughts, said, "Don't rush. Once Little Gold recovers a bit, I'll have Him come out and revise your contract again. It's a piece of cake."
"Ah... oh."
Nangong Nayue was confused; it seemed that Ren had other plans.
At this moment, Ren was about to call the three women home when he suddenly noticed something amiss. His eyes sharpened like an eagle's, and he spotted a furtive figure near the Prison Barrier.
Volume 2: Chapter 325 The Witch's Shackles
As Ren spoke, Nagatsuki, Yukina, and Kirasaka Sayaka instinctively looked towards a dark corner.
Although it appears empty at first glance, they are witches and priestesses, and upon closer inspection, a very slight magical fluctuation can be detected in that area.
When they looked over, the magical fluctuations became even greater.
Seeing that they could no longer hide, the figure concealed there had no choice but to reveal itself.
"Nice to meet you, Lord Ren."
Accompanied by light footsteps, a weathered woman's voice rang out.
Then, the owner of the voice emerged from the space rippling with water.
This is a tall, slender girl with hair that reaches her ankles, wearing a twelve-layered kimono reminiscent of those worn by noblewomen during the Heian period.
Her layered and interwoven clothes were elegant and luxurious, but the combination of only black and white made her look more like the Grim Reaper from classical mythology.
The girl was young and beautiful, and although she concealed it well, a hint of anxiety and unease still lingered in her crimson eyes.
The crimson eyes give the impression that they are burning.
"My name is Aya Tokoyogi, a prisoner within the Prison Barrier. However, as you can see, I have no intention of fighting you. I was simply stunned by your valiant and heroic figure just now and was unable to leave for a moment."
Aya Tokoyogi bowed slightly to Ren, her gentle smile concealing an unusual sense of foreboding.
Despite her outward trembling, she was actually in a state of utter panic inside.
As one of the most powerful witches in the Prison Barrier, Aya Tokoyogi left the Prison Barrier gate the moment it appeared, following behind the other criminals.
At first, the appearance of the Prison Barrier gate made Aya Tokoyogi think that it was a backup plan he had left behind in the past that had finally succeeded in rescuing her.
Unexpectedly, the Prison Barrier not by one of his own pawns, but by a man he had never seen before.
Even her former best friend, Nangong Nayue, stood by this man's side from beginning to end.
This greatly surprised Aya Tokoyogi, who understood Nan Nangong Nayue's state of mind.
Nangong Nayue, who used to be cold and aloof towards everything, is now willingly following behind a man?
Driven by intense curiosity, she continued reading.
Meanwhile, the criminals he had met inside the Prison Barrier were also clashing with the priestesses of the Lion King Organization.
Afterwards, Aya Tokoyogi followed behind the four who had caught up, waiting for an opportunity.
But what happened next completely shattered Aya Tokoyogi's worldview.
The dragon-slaying clan, the strongest among them, was easily trampled underfoot by Ren. Afterwards, a single casual remark terrified the female vampire Kiriyu Raku, who murmured that she would never return to the human world as a ghost again.
In the end, Aya Tokoyogi witnessed firsthand how, after breaking the contract, the guardian that Nangong Nayue possessed transformed into an executioner who harvested the souls of witches.
It was thought that Nangong Nayue's fate had come to an end, but who would have thought that Ren would not only defeat the King of the Ring, but also repel the King of the Ring's master Golden King.
Breaking the contract results in having one's soul stolen—this has been an unchanging principle since the birth of witches.
However, this was shattered today.
In the end, the man used a very strange tool to seal the golden demon inside.
No witch has ever been able to do this in thousands of years.
The scenes that Aya Tokoyogi had witnessed were far more horrifying than anything she had ever seen in the past combined.
Ren is someone who can even drag out the demon's true form and beat it up. As a witch, Aya Tokoyogi also made a contract with a demon, but she doesn't consider herself to be the strongest.
Moreover, she possesses a crucial magic book that prevents her from unleashing her full power.
Of course, Aya Tokoyogi felt that even with the magic books she currently possessed, she couldn't defeat Ren.
"Keep talking, listen more, and enjoy listening."
Seeing this, Ren crossed his arms and smiled slightly.
At the same time, he was also carefully observing Aya Tokoyogi's appearance.
The other party also has excellent modeling skills, and it's unclear whether it's intentional to compare them to Nangong Nayue, who likes the Gothic Lolita trend, but Aya Tokoyogi's clothes are more ancient in style.
I can only say that she truly deserves to be Nangong Nayue's friend.
If Nagatsuki were to wear this outfit, perhaps her aura would be quite similar to that of Aya Tokoyogi.
"..."
Ren's words put Aya Tokoyogi in a difficult position.
Is this man deliberately making fun of her?
But you're strong, you're arrogant, you're amazing.
Aya Tokoyogi had been imprisoned in the Dream Prison for nearly ten years. Within the Prison Barrier, there was nothing particularly noteworthy, and she was completely unaware of the changes in the outside world. When did such an abstract person come into existence? Who would beg for help like this?
Even so, Aya Tokoyogi still smiled and racked her brains to shower Ren with compliments.
In the end, she couldn't think of any new words and had to stop.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
Seeing Aya Tokoyogi's cautious demeanor, Ren couldn't help but chuckle.
But you can't blame her for that.
After all, anyone who escapes from prison and finds an outrageously strong person blocking their way would have their mentality completely shattered on the spot.
Upon hearing this, Aya Tokoyogi glanced at Luo Ya De but said nothing more.
For her, Ren's attitude was really unsettling, but she could only accept this outcome for the time being.
After all, if she displeased the man in front of her, who knows if he might just punch her and put her in a deep, baby-like sleep?
However, Ren actually wouldn't do anything to Aya Tokoyogi.
After all, no matter what, Aya Tokoyogi was Nangong Nayue's only friend in the past.
She was arrested initially only because of ideological differences and the fact that Aya Tokoyogi had attempted a crime.
So many years have passed, it would be a lie to say she doesn't hate Nangong Nayue, but she also holds onto memories and hopes.
Still somewhat uneasy, Aya Tokoyogi's eyes darted around as she asked Ren, "May I ask why you allowed the Prison Barrier to manifest?"
"As the saying goes, Zhuangzi dreamed of a butterfly, and the two must eventually separate. This is what is meant by materialization. Whether it is the empty sanctuary or the Prison Barrier, they are all forms of Nangong Nayue in her dreams."
"It is only because the Witch of the Gap has awakened from her eternal dream that we have been released."
Aya Tokoyogi paused briefly, thinking about many things, before tentatively asking, "So, may I ask, Your Excellency, do you wish to remove the shackles from the Witch of the Gap?"

"So what?"
Ren became interested.
It has to be said that Aya Tokoyogi is quite clever to be able to remain calm at this moment and guess his thoughts.
"I can help you with this matter. If I can regain the power of the Book of Dark Oaths, I can make the Witch of the Gap, no... all witches in this world and all the tragic events caused by supernatural abilities disappear."
"Don't agree with her, that woman isn't that kind-hearted."
