Multiverse Anime 51-55

Title: Kendo Information

The arrival of Rias Gremory was somewhat surprising to them.

Then, as the host here, Kaguya was the first to react, and said in an apologetic tone:

“A bit impolite, welcome, Miss Gremory, I’m Shinomiya Kaguya.”

“Just call me Rias, no need to be too formal.” Rias said casually, “For the time being, I’ll be troubling you all.”

“Rias, you’re too polite!”

“Well then, let’s return to the main topic. Sorry for interrupting the Elder Onmyōji’s words just now.”

Rias approached Daizen and said in an apologetic tone.

Meanwhile, Daizen hurriedly waved his hand, indicating she didn’t need to worry, then said to Kaguya and the others:

“Do you still have doubts?!”

“Devil Magic, Onmyōdō, Kendo. Currently, there are only these three training paths before us. Which is stronger or weaker?” Asuna asked.

“Exactly!”

Rias nodded, and said, “If you want to train in Kendo, follow Arima-san. His Kendo has reached the level of a high-class devil. For Onmyōdō, learn from Amami-san, and for Devil magic, come to me.”

“If we’re talking about which of the three is stronger or weaker, there’s no fair standard of measurement. If judged by the strong people born from these three training systems, Kendo is the strongest, followed by Devil magic, and Onmyōdō is the weakest.”

“Kendo?!”

“Onmyōdō the weakest?!”

This time, both Daizen and Arima were stunned.

In their understanding, there weren’t many strong people who trained in Kendo, and famous ones were even fewer. After all, sharpening the sword for ten years, the time contained within is truly not as simple as ten years. How could Kendo be the strongest?

If Onmyōdō was weaker than magic, Daizen could still accept it, but Onmyōdō being in last place made him somewhat unable to accept it and confused.

For Kaguya and the others who had just come into contact with the supernatural world, they certainly didn’t understand where the difference lay, but seeing Daizen and Arima’s expressions, they also knew that both clearly disagreed with Rias’s words.

Everyone’s gaze unconsciously focused on Rias, waiting for her explanation.

Rias also didn’t beat around the bush, and said frankly, “Devil magic is merely part of the devil training system, and also the only one suitable for you to train in. If the entire devil training system is combined, it can be compared with Kendo among humans, after all, it’s a training system that gave birth to two Transcendents. However, Devil magic alone is still far from enough. You should know that Kendo among humans gave birth to the Shin Emperor, humanity’s number one Transcendent, the strongest person among humans, an existence feared by the gods.”

“Shin Emperor?!!!”

“Humans also have Transcendents, and he trained in Kendo?!!!”

“The strongest person among humans?!”

“...”

Hearing Rias’s words, Daizen and Arima were very shocked. They had never heard of this at all.

First time hearing, humans had also once had Transcendents!!!

But, there was someone who had heard of it, namely Asuna. She heard it from Ddraig yesterday, and she even knew that the strongest person among humans, the Shin Emperor, was Kanzaki Hikaru.

“It’s very normal if you don’t know, after all, he’s more active in various pantheons, and rarely appears in the human world. The only time he moved publicly was when the Eternal Beauty List ended, his brave action at that time to save the God of the Bible.”

“Save the God of the Bible?!”

“That is Sei, second place on the Eternal Beauty List. She is the only God recorded in the Bible, the God of the Bible, who was seriously injured in the god and devil war a thousand years ago...”

“And, the Shin Emperor at that time bravely broke through the blockade of various pantheons...”

Rias explained a little.

Even so, the news they received from Rias today still couldn’t be calmed down for a long time.

Everyone, including Kaguya, Shirayuki Hime... and the others, only now realized that there was a terrifying strong person among humans, who defied the gods with his own power, and even saved the God of the Bible.

(This man is that strong!!!)

Asuna secretly glanced toward the castle.

As the only person at the scene who knew Hikaru’s true identity, she was also shocked by Hikaru’s extraordinary record. Although she knew the other party was the strongest among humans, the definition of the strongest among humans was too vague, and she didn’t know how to measure it at all. Now she knew that Hikaru defied the gods with his own power, it was truly different.

(If the second place on the Eternal Beauty List is the God of the Bible, the only God recorded in the Bible, then what would the identity of his current lover ‘Mio’ be like.)

Kaguya thought of Mio, the embodiment of beauty on the Eternal Beauty List, third place on the Eternal Beauty List, who couldn’t even evoke feelings of jealousy. Her identity might far exceed her imagination.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

After more than ten minutes.

Only then did everyone awaken from the Shin Emperor!

The strongest person among humans!

Humanity’s number one Transcendent!!!

These shocking words. However, even so, there were still deep scars left in their hearts, scars originating from the Shin Emperor.

“State your choices.”

Rias said while looking at Kaguya and the others.

Instantly, Kaguya and the others sank into contemplation. After all, this choice related to each of their futures, and they absolutely must not be careless.

After a long silence, Hayasaka was the first to end her contemplation, gazing at Daizen and said, “Amami-sensei, I choose Onmyōdō!”

Daizen nodded kindly.

Then, Hayasaka walked behind Daizen. She had thought carefully about her choice of Onmyōdō. After all, her Ranking Gift: Power to See Ghosts from the Eternal Beauty List was the lowest level among everyone. This was the only advantage she had to enter a training path.

Like Kotonoha, who was at eighty-fifth place on the Eternal Beauty List, Ranking Gift: Basic Physical Transformation, her physique had been greatly enhanced, and she also awakened the Power to See Ghosts. In this regard, Hayasaka couldn’t match her. Kotonoha had more choices than her.

The second to choose were Shirayuki Hime and Kuroyukihime.

“We choose Devil magic!”

After speaking, they were already standing behind Rias.

“I also choose Devil magic!”

Kaguya followed carefully, standing behind Rias.

At this moment, Kotonoha also made her choice, walking in front of Arima, and said respectfully, “I choose Kendo. Please guide me, Arima-sensei!”

“You have a good foundation in swordsmanship, choosing Kendo is a very appropriate choice.” Arima commented.

Up to this point, only Asuna had not yet made her choice.

Title: The White Dragon Emperor’s Archenemy

Asuna found it somewhat difficult to make a decision.

Actually, in her heart, whether it was Kendo, Devil magic, or Onmyōdō, none were the ideal training path she desired, especially since she had a Sacred Gear. Finally, her gaze settled on Rias.

“Rias, I want to ask, do you know about Sacred Gear development?”

“Sacred Gear?!”

Rias was surprised, and hurriedly stared at Asuna, saying, “You are a Sacred Gear wielder?!”

Asuna nodded.

“Do you know what Sacred Gear it is?”

“It’s one of the thirteen Longinus, the Boosted Gear.”

Regarding this, Asuna didn’t hide it. She directly summoned the red dragon gauntlet that dominantly wrapped around her entire left hand. A large jade-green jewel was embedded in the center of the very beautiful dragon gauntlet, and a slight dragon aura also rippled through the training ground, making Kaguya, who was still an ordinary human, feel as if there was a large stone pressing on her chest, very suffocating.

“So it’s the Boosted Gear, I didn’t expect Asuna to be the Red Dragon Emperor of this generation!”

Rias was shocked.

She truly didn’t expect to meet the contemporary Red Dragon Emperor here, how dramatic.

Kaguya, Shirayuki Hime, Kotonoha... and the others were also shocked. Yesterday they learned from Hikaru that a Sacred Gear was nested in Asuna’s body. Although they knew the Sacred Gear that Hikaru coveted must be a powerful existence, they truly didn’t expect it to be the Boosted Gear, one of the Longinus.

“Boosted Gear, huh. I heard it’s a Longinus that can increase one’s own power....”

Arima pushed up his glasses, as if wanting to calm the shock in his heart.

“More precisely, it can double the wielder’s power once every ten seconds of human world time. Although only temporary, it can obtain power that surpasses Devil Kings and Gods, and if enhanced to its limit, even Gods can be killed, but it’s limited by the host’s body....”

Rias explained in detail to everyone.

“Asuna, interested in becoming my Familiar! Don’t worry, the Gremory family is the devil lineage richest in emotion, we won’t—“

However, Rias’s words weren’t finished before being cut off by Asuna.

“Sorry, Rias, I don’t think I can agree to this!”

“That’s unfortunate.”

Rias shook her head regretfully, because if she had a Familiar who possessed a Longinus, her winning rate in Rating Games would surely increase greatly.

“Regarding Sacred Gear development, I know a lot, and the archives in the Gremory family also have records of information about Red Dragon Emperors from generation to generation. If you don’t mind, I’ll do my best to help you develop the Boosted Gear.”

“Thank you!”

Asuna thanked her after getting a satisfactory answer. Then, she thought of something, and asked, “Rias, do you know what existence the White Dragon Emperor is?!”

Both Hikaru and Ddraig had previously talked about the problem of her archenemy, which undoubtedly made her constantly worried. It happened that Rias knew quite a bit about this, so she hoped to find an answer from her.

As for Hikaru, that stingy guy with a bad personality, Asuna knew without thinking that the man definitely wouldn’t kindly tell her.

“The host of the Boosted Gear of each generation is called the Red Dragon Emperor, and corresponding to it is the White Dragon Emperor, the host of the Longinus Divine Dividing. Because of the karma caused by the Sacred Gears between the two, each generation will have a life-and-death battle that nearly engulfs and involves the Three Factions whenever both appear simultaneously. This is the origin of the Boosted Gear’s destiny.”

Rias saw Asuna’s slightly tense expression, and comforted her, “However, you also don’t need to worry. Until now, there hasn’t been a single bit of news about the White Dragon Emperor, they shouldn’t appear simultaneously.”

However, as soon as Rias’s words finished, she found Kaguya, Shirayuki Hime... and the others staring at Asuna with ‘pitiful’ looks.

Meanwhile, Asuna’s face became slightly pale.

“What’s wrong?”

Rias was a bit confused.

After several seconds of silence, Asuna said anxiously, “Rias, the White Dragon Emperor has already appeared, and he is a Devil King-level powerhouse.”

Previously she still held hope, feeling that perhaps her understanding of the word ‘archenemy’ was mistaken. Now the problem had escalated to ‘life-and-death battle’. With her current strength, facing a Devil King-level powerhouse, she would be killed instantly in a moment.

“How can that be?!”

Rias was somewhat confused and shocked.

“There has never been a single bit of information about the White Dragon Emperor circulating in the Three Factions, how could he become a Devil King-level powerhouse.”

“Sigh, Kanzaki Hikaru said it.”

Asuna sighed.

“Kanzaki Hikaru, hmm... According to Devil King Ajuka, he has a connection with the Shin Emperor.”

Rias pondered.

If it was that person, perhaps Hikaru really did know some things that Rias didn’t know, because the difference in strength between the two was at different heights.

(Not connected with the Shin Emperor, but that man IS the Shin Emperor.)

Asuna still had a lot of trust in Hikaru’s words. Perhaps, the White Dragon Emperor and Hikaru even knew each other.

(He’ll just expose me to my archenemy, the White Dragon Emperor!)

(This is his way of deliberately taking revenge on me!!)

Title: Cao Cao

While Kaguya, Asuna, Shirayuki Hime... and the others were undergoing their first training at the training grounds.

Castle building, fourth floor.

A luxuriously decorated room, with an area of almost two hundred square meters. People who just entered this room might unconsciously think this was a five-star Presidential Suite. Antiques and paintings looked like decorations scattered everywhere, adorning the surroundings.

A work space, dressing room, wine rack, writing desk, bathroom... even a balcony was available.

The decoration and layout of this room were among the best in the entire castle building, only the room occupied by Gan’an could rival it.

The owner of this room was Hikaru.

At this moment, Hikaru was sitting on a brown leather sofa. Before him appeared an illusory projection, namely a young man with an unruly expression. On his shoulder hung an elegant and unique long spear, and the corner of his mouth wore a mocking smile.

“Long time no see, Shin Emperor, you’ve really been ‘very famous’ lately. I can see your information on the Dimensional List from time to time.”

“I am indeed ‘very famous’ now, but Cao Cao, you might be sadder than me, the Hero Faction this time was also exposed with difficulty.” Hikaru glanced at him and said.

The young man before him was Cao Cao, the leader of the Hero Faction, the host of the Strongest and Earliest Longinus, the Longinus Spear!

Of course, this title of Strongest and Earliest Longinus, Hikaru greatly doubted it after obtaining the Azure Slaughter Sword specially made by Sei for him.

“More and more people have been coming to investigate Hero Faction information lately.”

Regarding this, Cao Cao was also somewhat stressed. The exposure of Georg, Leonardo, and Arthur Pendragon on the previous list truly exposed the Hero Faction’s existence in the eyes of the entire world. Although he wasn’t afraid of the gods, this moment indeed wasn’t the time to expose themselves, because the things they were doing were taboo to the gods.

If the gods knew beforehand, they would surely pay any price to come and stop it. Further concealment was absolutely necessary.

“Even if you want to continue hiding it, you actually can’t hide it for too long. Start gathering combat power.”

Hikaru looked at the blue sky outside the window. This scenery was believed to undergo major changes in the near future.

“The formation is already nine-tenths complete, enough to fully protect the aura. If we gather combat power now, it’s also a very good time. The appearance of the Dimensional List has caused various pantheons to become chaotic, plus with you previously completely annihilating the Egyptian pantheon, those pantheons are a bit panicked, and naturally are no longer as vigilant as before.” Cao Cao said.

“I’ll leave the gathering of combat power to you. As for the formation, add three more layers of space division and aura concealment formations on top of the current foundation.”

“...Still need three more layers? You know that’s already quite a lot. If we add more, although the fluctuations produced by the formation are very small, the fluctuations caused by tens of thousands of powerful formations stacked together will be very terrifying.”

Cao Cao frowned at Hikaru’s suggestion and said.

“Cao Cao, have you ever seen The Other Side Realm!”

Hikaru glanced at Cao Cao with deep meaning.

This sentence seemed to have some kind of magic, instantly silencing Cao Cao who was always unruly.

“The formation set up by your Hero Faction at most only gives us time to break the seal.”

“How can that be?!”

Cao Cao was clearly somewhat disbelieving.

“The Other Side Realm, not Transcendent. The formation you set up might be able to perfectly conceal battles among Transcendents, but in the face of The Other Side Realm, that formation is very likely to be destroyed with one touch.”

Hearing Hikaru’s words, Cao Cao fell silent for a moment, pondering, “In other words, we must always be vigilant against attacks from the gods during battle.”

“So, we need to gather combat power to seal the battlefield. You don’t really think that people who can’t even deploy Transcendent-level combat power can interfere in this battle.”

Hikaru glanced at Cao Cao whose expression tensed.

(Good grief.... This man really thought that way initially.)

Hikaru felt somewhat speechless.

Many people, much strength, was indeed an eternal truth.

However, on this basis there must still be a prerequisite, namely the level of strength between the two must not differ too greatly. If they’re not in the same dimension at all, this phrase can be completely ignored.

“Overall, prepare to face the gods.”

Suddenly, Hikaru thought of something, and said to Cao Cao, “Cao Cao, in the next few days, help me ‘borrow’ Samael the Dragon Eater from Hades.”

“...Borrow?! That’s Hades’ Transcendent. Why do you say it so easily, and borrow, when it’s more like robbing.”

Cao Cao moved the corner of his mouth. Every time this man met with him, he always gave him very difficult tasks. If it weren’t for this operation being led by the Shin Emperor, he wouldn’t obey so readily.

“Hades was previously attacked by the Dimensional List when he ambushed Sei, he should still be in a weakened state now. With your strength and the Longinus Spear, it shouldn’t be difficult to ‘borrow’ Samael.”

“Conveniently, we can see if that legendary Dragon Slayer Curse really has an effect on him.”

As he spoke, Hikaru’s eyes became slightly deeper.

“Dragon Slayer Curse, huh?!”

Cao Cao thought seriously, “The effect probably won’t be great, but, to weaken his power, it’s still possible.”

“So, I’ll leave this matter to you.”

Since this was related to their next plan, Cao Cao naturally didn’t refuse, and immediately agreed.

“By the way, Shin Emperor, yesterday a big event happened in the world related to you.”

“Big event?!”

Hikaru was somewhat confused. Recently, because of the Dimensional List’s appearance, he rarely appeared, and also didn’t pay too much attention to world news.

“Your disciple, Suzushina Yuriko, after obtaining the Ranking Gift: Level 6 Calculation (Transcendent), as expected, she stepped into Devil King level. However, whether due to frustration or other reasons, she alone attacked the Greek Pantheon...”

“In the end she was beaten back by Typhon.”

“That restless child, does she want to be besieged by the gods again? And, this time she’s braver than usual, she dared to attack a major pantheon. The Greek Pantheon also has two Transcendents, it’s just that Hades doesn’t care much about pantheon matters.” Hikaru said with a bit of a headache.

Previously he had realized that Yuriko wouldn’t stay quiet, but he felt her attack should at least wait until he completed his plan. But, who knew that Yuriko had just broken through and risen to Devil King level, she already went to the Greek Pantheon to make trouble.

“If you meet her, tell her to come to Japan to find me. When the plan starts, there are many places she can use to release all that extra energy.” Hikaru rubbed his temples and said.

“I’ll convey this matter honestly.”

After saying that, Cao Cao’s illusory projection disappeared from the room, and Hikaru also rose from the sofa, muttering to himself.

“This world will soon change completely—“

Title: Grigori’s Invitation

Time passed quickly, in the blink of an eye. Half a month had passed without notice. Perhaps because the Dimensional List hadn’t appeared for half a month, the heated discussion from before had somewhat subsided.

However, the Dimensional List, Eternal Beauty List, Transcendent List were still eternal topics on everyone’s lips, and had fully integrated into people’s daily lives.

In this matter, even Gods, Angels, Devils... couldn’t avoid it. There were even people secretly ‘betting’, guessing when the next Dimensional List would appear, and what kind of new list would be announced.

With the exposure of supernatural powers, some humans who yearned for the supernatural realm were also fully mobilized during this period. For example: temples, Shinto shrines, Buddhist temples, churches... were filled with people every day, wanting to get closer to the supernatural realm, or hoping to be targeted by certain powerful beings or Gods, even willing to become servants.

However, let alone wanting to become a servant of a God, even to become a Devil’s servant required very high talent. In this regard, it was completely just wishful thinking.

On the contrary, human supernatural organizations and forces like the Onmyou Agency, Onmyou Academy, and Exorcists Group... actually reaped many benefits from this wave of enthusiasm, adding much fresh blood.

Of course, their targets were still dominated by those listed on the Eternal Beauty List and Transcendent List. After all, these registrants were seeds with extraordinary potential, and as long as they were cultivated well, they were sufficient to give birth to powerful people who could support their respective forces in ten years.

In a certain sense, the exposure of the Dimensional List not only shocked existences that were hiding and keeping a low profile, but was also a feast for various forces to divide potential seeds.

This matter, for both parties, only brought benefits, no harm.

However, for existences that deliberately wanted to hide like Hikaru, the story was different.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Shinomiya residence, hall.

“...Grigori!”

Hikaru, who had just been about to go out, was suddenly stopped by a phone call.

“Yes, that’s the Fallen Angel faction, representatives of evil. Hikaru-kun, do you think there will be problems if I join?”

A voice soft as water, cleansing the soul, came from the phone. The owner of this voice was Hikaru’s former girlfriend, Kocho Kanae.

Hikaru truly didn’t expect Grigori would invite the Kanae and Shinobu sisters to join. The two of them were previously completely ordinary people, and there was no Sacred Gear nested in their bodies.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Kanae and Shinobu’s rankings on the Eternal Beauty List weren’t high. Shinobu was eighty-second place on the Eternal Beauty List, Kanae was seventy-fourth place on the Eternal Beauty List, slightly lower than Kaguya and the others. Yet the two of them received attention from Grigori.

“An old man invited us. He said there are two Artificial Sacred Gears very suitable for me and Shinobu, so...”

Hearing Kanae explain up to here, Hikaru roughly understood the cause and effect.

After all, speaking of Artificial Sacred Gears, the only one he could think of in Grigori was Azazel. The old man in Kanae’s mouth was most likely that man.

“Artificial Sacred Gears suitable for you both!”

If Kanae and Shinobu received help from Artificial Sacred Gears, both their strength and potential would increase drastically. Although the Artificial Sacred Gears made by Azazel were far from the true Sacred Gears made by Sei.

But, think about it, for Azazel to personally recruit them with Artificial Sacred Gears, these two Artificial Sacred Gears suitable for Kanae and Shinobu must not be simple existences.

“Actually, human forces like the Onmyou Agency, Onmyou Academy... can’t be compared at all with forces dominated by god and devil races. Moreover, there are some humans in Grigori, and Fallen Angels aren’t completely evil either. It’s no big problem to join, but remember, don’t get too involved in disputes between Fallen Angels, Devils, and Angels.”

After that, Hikaru also mentioned several things to pay attention to in Grigori.

“I understand, Hikaru-kun!”

“Kanae, if you face problems in Grigori, look for Vali. If he’s not there, look for Tobio. Both of them will handle it perfectly for you.”

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Kyoto Prefectural Medical University.

“Tobio? Vali?!”

Standing under the shade of a tree on the field, Kanae, who had just closed the call from Hikaru, was somewhat confused.

Ikuse Tobio.

She had heard of this person, fifth place on the Transcendent List, wielder of the Longinus Canis Lykaon, affiliated with Grigori. But, who was Vali? From Hikaru’s tone, she felt he was more important than Tobio, as if there was no problem he couldn’t solve in Grigori.

“What did that playboy say, Nee-san?”

At this moment, Shinobu, wearing white sportswear, walked closer.

Her bad impression of Hikaru still hadn’t improved one bit. In fact, even though Kanae kept praising Hikaru in her ears lately, it was completely useless. In her view, her sister was truly deceived by that playboy.

If it weren’t for Kanae insisting this time, she wouldn’t have asked that playboy no matter what.

“Hikaru-kun said there’s no problem...”

Kanae briefly recounted Hikaru’s words just now to her younger sister.

“...Hopefully this playboy isn’t bragging.”

-

Title: Kaguya and Others’ Experience

“Kanae and Shinobu joined Grigori!”

“Utaha joined the Super Response Room.”

“Kazusa joined the Exorcists Group.”

“News that I heard yesterday, Eriri joined the Onmyōu Academy...”

Hikaru pondered the choices of several women related to him. Overall, their choices were quite good, all were guaranteed forces that could lay a good foundation for them in the early stages.

“I’m sure before long, those listed on the Eternal Beauty List will experience qualitative transformation.” Hikaru muttered to himself.

Never mind others, at least in this half month Kaguya, Asuna, Kotonoha, Shirayuki Hime, Kuroyukihime, Hayasaka, these six girls had experienced extraordinary growth. Now, the six of them weren’t at the Shinomiya residence, but following Rias to conduct actual combat experience, with Stray Devils as targets.

Isolation would never create truly strong people, only actual combat, even life-and-death battles, could.

Regarding this, Hikaru had the most right to speak.

“Sei-chan and Mio, judging from the current situation, I’m afraid it won’t end in a short time.”

During this period of time, Hikaru paid close attention to the dimensional rift where Sei and Mio were secluding themselves. Because he had the spatial coordinates of their retreat, he wasn’t afraid of getting lost in the dimensional rift, plus with Koi’s (Great Red) protection, security issues weren’t a problem.

It’s just that, for the two of them, one to recover from wounds and the other to break through and ascend to The Other Side Realm couldn’t be completed overnight.

As Hikaru missed Sei and Mio...

Suddenly, two familiar yet powerful auras appeared in the southern sky, continuously colliding and fighting. Gradually, even the earth and space began to tremble to a degree that ordinary people could feel.

“How did these two meet.”

With his senses fully open, Hikaru was somewhat helpless, and immediately shattered space and headed toward the anomaly.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Meanwhile, several tens of minutes ago, on the outskirts of Tokyo.

An abandoned old house, located deep in the forest. Its wall plaster was peeling, revealing red bricks, and its walls were overgrown with green plants, looking very gloomy and desolate.

A group of people snuck into this place. They were Kaguya, Shirayuki Hime, Asuna... and the others, led by Rias. Their goal was naturally to annihilate the Stray Devil entrenched in that old house, honing their actual experience and combat power.

“Everyone, be careful in a moment. The Stray Devil entrenched here has mid-class Devil strength. Same as before, I won’t move unless this is a life-and-death moment.”

Rias first set up a blood-red magic circle, covering the entire old house, preventing the Stray Devil sleeping inside from escaping. At the same time, she didn’t forget to remind Kaguya and the others.

Kaguya and the others nodded, showing they understood.

“Asuna!”

After that, Shirayuki Hime winked at Asuna beside her. After half a month of fighting side by side, the six people had also developed sufficient understanding. Asuna also immediately understood, and quickly summoned the Boosted Gear using it skillfully.

“Boost!”

“Boost!”

“...”

Mechanical sounds continuously came from the Boosted Gear, until the doubled power brought by the Boosted Gear almost reached the spiritual limit that Asuna’s body could withstand!

“Transfer!”

Asuna transferred this power to Kaguya, Shirayuki Hime... and the others.

Instantly, power more than double what they had surged through their bodies!

Shirayuki Hime and Kuroyukihime looked at each other, and their hands immediately formed seals.

Darkness element and water element quickly gathered in their hands, forming a dense black water vortex like a spinning abyss, and its rotation raised wind waves.

*BOOM!*

The Stray Devil sleeping in that old house sensed the elemental fluctuations produced by Shirayuki Hime and Kuroyukihime who didn’t hide their power. He immediately emerged from the damaged wall, raising clouds of smoke and dust.

“Sss sss sss...”

What appeared before Kaguya and the others was a strange creature with a human head and spider body, with a disgusting body shape. There was still a smell of rotten blood remaining on its body. Clearly it had just eaten not long ago. Its bloodthirsty eyes stared at Kaguya and the others with a cruel gaze.

If it were Kaguya and the others from before, seeing this ugly Stray Devil full of evil aura might have trembled in fear.

Now, after half a month of tempering, they were already completely accustomed.

“Humans?!”

This Stray Devil was surprised. He originally thought it was Devils from the Underworld who came to hunt him. He didn’t expect it to be weak humans. Judging from their appearance, they should be Exorcists, Onmyōji... or something like that.

However, before he could move, the next second.

“Devil Magic: Black Water!”

Shirayuki Hime and Kuroyukihime’s magic had finished accumulating.

One from the left and one from the right, two black water vortexes attacked the Stray Devil. As the Black Water Magic left their palms, it continuously expanded.

“Onmyō Technique: Binding Technique (Shibari no Jutsu)!”

When the Stray Devil wanted to dodge, Hayasaka promptly released an Onmyō Technique to restrain the Stray Devil in place for less than one second. However, this very brief time made him lose the opportunity to dodge.

Two Black Water Magics directly coiled around him!

“Ahhhhh...”

Instantly, the Stray Devil let out a pitiful howl. The Black Water Magic not only brought the power of rotation to strangle, but also its own corrosive effect.

In a short time, the Stray Devil’s skin was all eroded, looking even more terrifying, but there were no fatal wounds. With Shirayuki Hime and Kuroyukihime’s power, it was still somewhat difficult to kill a mid-class Devil in one attack.

*SWOOSH!*

At this moment, Kotonoha drew the long sword at her waist, attacking the Stray Devil.

Her Kendo was very sharp, and she could already release sword energy, the foundation of Kendo. Her attack was very fierce, truly transforming from her usual gentle and hesitant appearance.

*SWISH!* *SWISH!* *SWISH!*

The Stray Devil’s four spider legs had been completely severed by Kotonoha, making it continuously struggle in pain on the ground.

“Damn humans, die!”

However, when magic surged through the Stray Devil’s body, and black magic spears wanted to attack Kotonoha as the target for a counterattack.

Kaguya, Shirayuki Hime, Kuroyukihime... these people weren’t just decorations.

“Boost!”

“...”

“Devil Magic: Blaze Ring!”

“Devil Magic: Black Light Star!”

“Onmyō Technique: Binding Technique (Shibari no Jutsu)!”

“...”

Devil Magic and Onmyō Techniques, under the doubling and transfer from the Boosted Gear, continuously bombarded the Stray Devil’s body, and there was also Binding Technique obstructing it.

Instantly, the Stray Devil was covered in blood in painful howls.

*PU-CHI!*

Kotonoha pierced its head with her sword. A large amount of blood flowed out, and the Stray Devil’s eyes slowly became lifeless.

*BOOM!*

A muffled sound was heard, and it fell to the ground.

This Stray Devil that possessed mid-class Devil strength, died miserably under the group attack of Kaguya and the others, without the slightest chance to resist.
