That Sword Looks a Little Familiar

[Reward: Azazel's favorability +20, random reward *1.]

This can refresh a task?

And no, winning actually increases Azazel's favorability? Are you kidding me?

Could it be that Azazel is essentially a masochist?!

The reward is a bit small.

After all, this is a battle against the Fallen Angels governor Azazel. Even if it were just a contest, the system rewards shouldn't be so stingy, right?

"Let's go to the back mountain, and then set up a few layers of barriers around it. As for the conditions for winning, you can decide."

Since there's a task, there's no reason not to complete it.

Moreover, this was a rare opportunity to fight against the Fallen Angels Governor.

This can be used to determine roughly where you would rank in the world right now.

Upon hearing this, Azazel couldn't help but think more highly of Ren.

He thought Ren would choose the terms that were favorable to him, but to his surprise, the other party passed the buck to him again.

"Then let's determine the winner by the number of times someone gets hit within the time limit."

Azazel didn't want that kind of trouble, especially since it wasn't a life-or-death battle.

Ren had no objection to this.

Subsequently, Ren, Azazel, Lavinia (who was in charge of setting up the barrier), Asia and Kuroka (who acted as cheerleaders), Xenovia, Irina Shidou all arrived at the scene as spectators.

Chapter 119 That sword looks familiar

Chapter 119

Xenovia and Irina Shidou were mainly worried that something bad might happen.

Although they were instructed to avoid conflict with other forces for the time being, what if something happens?

The person opposite is the governor of Fallen Angels; his sudden visit and demand for a contest must be up to no good.

If anything goes wrong, they'll have no choice but to fight alongside Ren, even at the cost of their lives.

Although neither of them could even beat Kokabiel, they had no reason to abandon their teammates.

"Ren, the barrier is ready."

Lavinia spoke to Ren.

At this moment, Azazel looked at Lavinia: "What an excellent barrier. Even many high-ranking demons in the Underworld who specialize in arrays cannot achieve this level. Lavinia - Reni, shouldn't you be called that?"

"Yes."

Lavinia nodded slightly.

"I heard about you from Vali, he said... uh..."

Azazel paused, recalling what WALL-E had said to him that day in a fit of emotion, and he still felt uneasy about it.

He actually said he wanted a woman not much older than him to be his mother?

Azazel initially thought Vali was jealous because his beloved woman had been taken away. Well... in some ways, Lavinia was indeed Vali's most beloved woman.

"Vali? What did little Walli say?"

Upon hearing her old friend's name, Lavinia instinctively asked again.

"He said... he... never mind, you'll find out when we meet later."

"Alright, brat, are you ready to face me?"

Azazel asked.

Seeing Ren nod, he continued.

"The time limit is one minute. Whoever gets hit the most times loses. However, to prevent others from saying I'm bullying the weak, I'll give you a one-handed advantage, and you don't need to use the Spear of Light that's detached from your body. You can use all your weapons."

Has it started?

"Okay, open..."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Azazel then heard a cold, mechanical voice coming from Ren's direction.

--Clock Up.

The next second.

Suddenly, Ren vanished from his spot, his very breath becoming extremely faint.

As Ren activated his Super Acceleration, he also activated his Breath Concealment EX skill.

While concealing one's presence in front of others might seem like self-deception, using it when Super Acceleration away from the opponent's sight can have a surprising effect.

Azazel's smile was still on his face.

Ren, who had undergone Super Acceleration, saw everything in his eyes slowed down countless times.

However, having experience fighting two Fallen Angels executives, Ren knew that even in his Super Acceleration state, if his strength was sufficient, he could still react accordingly based on intuition and experience.

However, for attackers Satanael and Kokabiel, who can only react to the most fatal attack, the accumulation of other wounds over time will still affect their ability to judge the fatal attack.

However, those who reach the level of Azazel have already developed passive skills similar to "mind's eye" or "intuition".

This is actually somewhat similar to Ultra Instinct from Dragon Ball Super.

Of course, Azazel's power is still a far cry from Ultra Instinct.

If that were really the case, then Ren would definitely surrender on the spot.

That kind of cheat-like ability is completely unbeatable by normal people.

Super Acceleration is not time-stopping.

Ren can only accelerate his own time, but everyone else's time remains normal.

Therefore, Azazel became immediately alert after seeing Ren disappear.

However, he did not panic. He simply raised his right hand and carefully sensed his surroundings.

Azazel originally planned to fight Ren using only his left hand, but after Ren suddenly disappeared, he realized something was wrong and decided to switch to his dominant right hand.

Anyway, there was no rule before the competition about which hand he had to use, so it didn't matter.

Buzz--!

There was an unusual tearing of airflow around them, and a faint aura was instantly approaching.

Immediately afterwards, Azazel suddenly raised his right hand and held it in front of him, and a dense power of light instantly condensed in front of him to form the shape of a wrist guard.

Although it was only for a moment, Azazel noticed that what attacked him was a completely black magic sword.

The demonic sword and the light-powered bracers collided with a deafening roar.

Although it was just a contest, Ren didn't hold back. Azazel was the governor of the Fallen Angels, a demon lord-level being, and wouldn't die so easily.

Having blocked the attack, Azazel smiled slightly, but almost simultaneously, his body abruptly turned to the other side, his right hand hastily blocking at his side ribs.

BOOM!

This time it wasn't an attack from the demonic sword, but a fierce sweeping leg kick, the powerful force of which even displaced Azazel's body several meters.

"What kind of superhuman strength is this? Is this even human?"

Azazel was astonished.

Humans are the weakest race physically, and while Fallen Angels may not be the strongest, they are certainly a pillar of strength.

Although Azazel's strength was not physical, it was still not something an ordinary person could easily defeat.

However, Ren, a human, was able to defeat him in hand-to-hand combat, which is why Azazel was so shocked.

If he hadn't been certain that Ren was human, he would have thought that this guy was a demon in human skin, or some other god.

At this moment, Ren temporarily canceled his Super Acceleration and appeared not far from Azazel.

He gently stroked the smooth blade of the demonic sword with his right hand, looked at Arthas with a serious expression, and said, "Surrender, you inherently evil Fallen Angels governor."

"?"

Azazel was bewildered; why was it involving personal attacks?

Just then, Xenovia and Irina Shidou, who were watching from a short distance away, cheered and exclaimed, "Well said, Ren!"

"Down with the evil angels who have betrayed God!"

Azazel was about to tell the spectators not to mess with his mentality, but then he thought about it again and realized that the two holy sword bearers from the Church weren't entirely wrong.

Aren't Fallen Angels simply evil beings?

"You brat!"

Azazel knew he couldn't keep up the act any longer; otherwise, if the fighting continued like this, he would definitely get hit several times within a minute.

He immediately unfurled six pairs of jet-black wings, and just as he subconsciously wanted to condense Spear of Light to shoot it, he immediately remembered that he had set rules for himself and could not throw his best Spear of Light. He could only condense a sword of light in his right hand and rush towards Ren by cutting through the air.

Just as Azazel began to move, Ren vanished once again.

A flash of black light tore through the air once more, and the sharp demonic sword slashed fiercely at Azazel.

Azazel reacted extremely quickly, abruptly spinning in mid-air to block the demonic sword's attack with his sword of light.

"That sword... looks familiar."

After several exchanges, Azazel felt that he had seen the demonic sword in Ren's hand somewhere before.

Then I realized what was happening.

That seems to be the magic sword "Unfading Lake Light" that was once kept in Grigori, but it was later lost from Grigori due to Satanael's judgment.

He guessed it must have been stolen by Satanael, but he never expected it to end up in Ren' hands!

Chapter 120 Hundredfold Solar Fist

Chapter 120

"How did you get that sword?"

Azazel stopped and stepped back to a distance before asking.

"You mean this sword? Of course it's mine."

Don't ask Ren where he got this thing; the answer is he forgot to turn off auto-pickup.

"That sword is called the Unfading Lake Light. It's a demonic sword that we Fallen Angels obtained in a past war and kept in the armory until a few years ago when it was taken by one of our traitors."

Azazel was deeply impressed by this traitor.

The other party's name was Satanael, and like him, he was a Fallen Angels cadre in charge of management and research on Sacred Gear.

He is also a mentor in Grigori, responsible for teaching other Sacred Gear wielders how to use their Sacred Gear, known as the "Fallen of the Abyss."

Unfortunately, he was eventually convicted of the organization and was also brainwashed and led away some students.

Although it's unknown how the Demon Sword ended up in his hands, it's easy to imagine that Satanael's fate won't be good.

Considering that Kokabiel died at the hands of this human, Satanael is likely in grave danger as well.

"That belongs to us Fallen Angels."

"This is clearly mine."

Ren denied it to the death.

"Hmph! That demonic sword should still bear our Grigori's insignia, right on the hilt."

Ren looked down and found that there was indeed a tiny, almost invisible character on the hilt of the Unfading Lake Light Sword.

However, his expression quickly changed, and he angrily retorted, "You actually dared to carve your organization's symbol on my sword! You're nothing but bandits! No, you're even worse than bandits!"

Azazel: "..."
