Containment Successful / I Picked This Up

However, the demon sword was immediately absorbed when it came into contact with the black substance, and when Kiba Yuuto withdrew, he was left with only half of the demon sword.

"Can even the Demon Sword be eliminated?"

Akeno Himejima unleashed Lightning Spear, combining holy light and lightning, but it vanished without a trace.

Kuroka used Sage Art to interfere, Rias used Power of Destruction, and Rossweisse, who had sobered up, created several Rune Rune Circles to unleash a series of attacks, but all of them were devoured without leaving a trace.

Buzz--!

A colossal ice crystal princess appeared beside Lavinia, and endless chill instantly enveloped the entire domain, freezing the black substance that was enveloping Ren.

However, even through the ice, one could still see a black substance pulsating like a heart.

Lavinia's expression hardened, and the chill intensified. In just a few seconds, all the buildings and the ground were covered with a thick layer of ice.

If she hadn't intentionally controlled it, even Rias and the others would probably have been frozen into ice sculptures.

Meanwhile, the Ophis stared at the black substance, lost in thought.

It might have taken a second, or it might have taken two seconds, before she moved.

However, at that moment...

However, everyone noticed that cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the black substance, and silver light burst forth from the cracks.

Ren, who was enveloped by Samael's poisonous touch, was naturally unharmed.

However, he also knew that if left unattended for too long, things could turn into problems.

But it doesn't matter.

He had already devised a countermeasure before even taking action.

Although Samael is legendary and almost mythical, his actual strength is probably only between the level of a Demon King and a Transcendent.

He can handle this situation.

And in the brief moment of his thought, a layer of runes appeared on his body, firmly blocking Samael's deadly poison.

Chapter 394 Successful containment

In other words, while Lavinia and the others outside thought Ren was in danger, Ren was actually able to ignore Samael's deadly poison after activating the Power Steel Protection.

Even if he were to go and soak in the sun's surface right now, he could do so for quite some time, let alone a mere sealed-up Fallen Angels.

He also heard everything that was happening outside.

To avoid worrying the girls, Ren swung his holy sword diagonally at the black substance enveloping him. With the enhancement of the Rending Silver Hand, the pitch-black substance, which even Power of Destruction was powerless against, was easily sliced open.

From the outside, countless cracks shimmered with silver light on the surface of the material, which then shattered with a deafening roar the next second.

The black substance was frozen as it drifted into the air, turning into ice shards that fell to the ground.

"Varied...?!"

This situation caught Georg, who was controlling the magic circle, completely off guard.

After all, once he took control of Samael, he thoroughly investigated just how outrageous this monster's existence truly was.

Theoretically speaking, neither the Ophis nor the Great Red of Dreams could withstand Samael's potent poison.

Moreover, the tentacles extending from its mouth contained all of Samael's power, and with the added blessing of the Angra Mainyu, ordinary attacks would be utterly ineffective.

Of course, it still has weaknesses.

As an object hated by the gods, Samael can be effectively countered by the holy light, which possesses divine attributes.

However, only the holy light of Seraphim level can block Samael's power.

What makes Ren so special?!

Georg cursed under his breath, "Isn't this clearly false advertising by the seller?!"

While he was pondering, Ren, who had managed to escape, released the Steel Protection and then strolled leisurely toward Samael's location.

What he's going to do is obvious.

Meanwhile, Samael, who had not yet received the next order, continued to attack Ren, with a sticky substance like oil flowing from its body, rushing towards Ren like a tsunami.

However, the holy sword, gleaming with silver light, still tore it apart with ease.

"Not good!"

Although Samael was a product of false advertising by the seller, it was still a rare species that the employer had only lent out once and repeatedly instructed them to return after use. If it fell into Ren' hands, the Hero Faction simply couldn't afford to pay for it.

Moreover, the value of Dragon Eater Samael cannot be measured in money.

After all, the mere fact that it could completely wipe out all dragons in the world is enough to make all the major powers around the world flock to it.

Georg quickly waved his wand, preparing to cancel the summoning spell and teleport the Dragon Eater Samael back.

But it was too late.

Upon noticing the magic circle on the ground glowing, Ren realized Georg's purpose.

Instead of rushing over, he used his silver wrist to plunge the holy sword into the concrete beneath his feet.

In that instant, the power of the Rending Silver Hand was activated once more, and immense magical power flowed from Ren's arm into the Holy Sword, and then into the virtual ground constructed of magic.

Cut--!

In just a short while, the entire land was etched with countless cut cracks.

Ren made no other movements, so it looked as if the cuts had grown out of the ground itself.

Hundreds and thousands of cracks covered the earth, Georg, who was preparing to activate the teleportation spell, no longer had the chance to do so.

The ground, marked with countless sword marks, along with the magic circle, was destroyed, almost pulverized into molecules.

The Rending Silver Hand is said to possess the power to cut through anything.

Ren didn't know the extent of this power, but in the original work, the Foolish Sword used this power to counteract and even suppress the Golden Sword power, one of the ten incarnations of the protagonist Kusanagi Godou, which had been used repeatedly.

Therefore, it's perfectly reasonable to tear open a magic circle.

Because the ground shattered, everyone present lost their footing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ren went directly to Samael's vicinity. Seeing that the other party was still going to resist, he kicked him and the cross away.

Ren could have killed him instantly.

However, considering Samael's value, Ren couldn't help but feel a bit greedy.

Samael, kicked away, crashed into the ruins. Then Ren vanished completely, leaving wound after wound on Samael's body with his holy sword at a speed completely invisible to ordinary people.

Of course, Ren revoked his powers when attacking Samael.

Otherwise, if he were to attack with his powers, Samael would be killed in a single blow.

At the same time.

In Ren's world, which was slowed down countless times, Samael's entire body was covered with tiny wounds from the Holy Sword.

Fresh blood and a dark substance slowly seeped from the wound.

When Ren stopped accelerating, Samael's body sprayed out countless amounts of blood and black liquid mixed with highly toxic substances like a fountain.

This substance was so potent that it killed anyone who touched it, but Lavinia reacted quickly and froze the scattered substance.

Ren gave a thumbs-up to his back, then pulled out one of his last three Master Ball and threw it at Samael.

"I choose you, Master Ball, go!"

The sphere, with its purple cap and the letter M, traced a perfect parabola through the air and struck Samael precisely on the head.

With a loud thud, the Master Ball automatically activated and released a beam of light that enveloped Samael's entire body.

Samael roared, unwillingly being swallowed and enveloped by the light and ultimately collected into the Master Ball.

The Master Ball bounced a few times after landing, then came to a complete stop.

Dragon Eater Samael, containment successful!

It wasn't until Ren walked over and retrieved the Master Ball into his storage space that the others on the scene finally realized what was happening.

Compared to Rias and Lavinia, their reactions weren't particularly strong, but Georg and Cao Cao, who had just woken up, were completely dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

Where am I, Samael?

Where did that huge Dragon Eater go?!

However, Ren didn't give them much time to think.

He gently stroked the sword with his right hand and looked at the remaining members of the Hero Faction.

The men and women under his gaze all trembled.

"Hurry up!"

Cao Cao transmitted a message to Georg.

"But Cao Cao, Samael is gone! If it's disappeared, we won't be able to explain ourselves when we get back!"

Georg panicked.

"Never mind that, you guys go first, I'll cover the rear..."

Cao Cao coughed, then used his holy spear to force himself to stand up.

The Khaos Brigade had previously purchased the Phoenix Tears from the black market, and the Hero Faction naturally possessed it as well.

But even if the injuries heal, what then?

Having already used even Overpowering Radiance, he had no other trump cards left.

Georg activated a teleportation spell, transferring most of the Hero Faction members, while Cao Cao charged out again with the Holy Lance to stop Ren from doing so.

But...

The holy spear in his hand no longer shone.

Chapter 395 This is what I picked up.

Cao Cao had already realized this when he regained his grip on the Holy Lance.

However, he wasn't surprised.

The power of the Overpowering Radiance is closely related to the will of the God of the Bible. The will of the departed God will absorb the faith of the lance's wielder, producing various effects and miracles due to the existence of the opponent. Sometimes it is overwhelming destruction that can defeat the opponent, and sometimes it is blessing the opponent to win their heart.

However, after the first round of Overpowering Radiance, Cao Cao realized that he could no longer harness the power of the Holy Lance.

He didn't know the specific reason, but it might be similar to his previous conversation with Jeanne of Arc.

He has already begun to stray from the right path in his pursuit of power.

A true hero shouldn't be someone who causes trouble everywhere, or even actively instigates wars.

If the Holy Lance wanted to continue catering to his ambitions, it would surely have healed him while it was watching the revolving lantern, but it didn't.

As Cao Cao pondered this, memories of the past resurfaced before his eyes.

Unable to wield the Holy Lance, he was like a tiger without its fangs, having lost its greatest threat.

Ren punched him in the stomach, and Cao Cao fell to the ground with his eyes bulging and his head rolling back.

However, because of Cao Cao's delay, Ren did not have the energy to pursue the others.

Although some members of the Hero Faction were left behind by Lavinia and the others, the wielders of the Longinus, including Georg and Leonardo, still left this space.

With the Absolute Mist providing cover, it would indeed be very difficult to forcibly keep them there.

As for Samael...

Despite their reluctance, Georg and his companions had no choice but to flee this space.

After the girls had defeated all the remaining monsters, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, without the cover of the Absolute Mist, Lavinia used teleportation magic to send everyone to the outside world.

They also encountered Jeanne and another unfamiliar blonde girl outside.

Jeanne spoke first, "They actually came out... But that means Georg and the others don't have time to continue sealing us off with the Absolute Mist, right?"

"Lady Jeanne, does this mean Ren and his men won? Wait, why are there so many people?!"

After Le Fay came out, he began to look around.
