“Kamiya Tenraku… You’re that Kamiya Tenraku!”
After hearing Tenraku’s name, Himejima Suzaku and the practitioners of the Himejima Family displayed expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces. If this guy who claimed to be Akeno’s husband was indeed called Kamiya Tenraku, then there was only one person they could think of.
The Miracle Child of the Phenex Family, the Sacred Gear Plunderer, the man who wedded the younger sister of the Demon King Sirzechs— and the one and only Heavenly Dragon Emperor.
It could only be that Kamiya Tenraku!
“If there is no other Kamiya Tenraku, then it must be me.”
Seeming quite famous, even the practitioners of the Human World had heard of him. Tenraku replied nonchalantly.
Gasping for breath, even Himejima Suzaku couldn’t hide her astonishment at this moment.
So this was the renowned Kamiya Tenraku!
“Why has someone like you come to our Himejima Family?”
With a wry smile on her face, Suzaku couldn’t help but ask. Although she considered herself a genius, inheriting the name “Suzaku” at such a young age and becoming currently in charge of the Himejima Family, she felt utterly outmatched compared to the person standing before her, giving rise to a deep sense of frustration within her.
“I’m here for revenge,” Tenraku stated his objective in a casual tone.
“Revenge?!”
The practitioners of the Himejima Family were taken aback, and a glint of determination flashed in Himejima Suzaku’s eyes. As the family lord of the Himejima Family, she had the responsibility to protect her family. If the other party had truly come to seek revenge against the Himejima Family, then she would fight to the death!
Feeling tense and vigilant, just as the situation was about to escalate, an elderly voice resounded in the area: “Suzaku, stand down. He is here for me.”
A path cleared through the crowd as an old man holding a staff walked out from within.
“Excellent, it’s the former generation family lord!”
Seeing the old man, the practitioners of the Himejima Family became overjoyed, and Himejima Suzaku secretly breathed out a sigh of relief, bowing to the old man: “Otou-Sama.”
Acknowledging his relative with a nod, the old man then looked down at Tenraku and Akeno.
“Akeno, you have grown up. Shuri would have been delighted to see you.” Akeno’s Uncle spoke with a complex expression on his face.
“But my Okaa-Sama was murdered by you, Uncle. She will never see anything again.”
Akeno retorted back with a mocking and cold smile on her face. Although she had resolved the hidden feelings in her heart and could face the past bravely, she wouldn’t show any kindness to those who had killed her mother.
Feeling a tinge of guilt, Akeno’s Uncle sighed and then turned his gaze toward Tenraku.
“Young man, you have finally come. I knew this day would come.”
“I’m someone who holds grudges. Back then, you bullied me so miserably, but now I finally have some ability, so I’ve come to learn from you, Senior.”
Due to their relationship, Tenraku and Akeno had to be separated in the past. Although it seemed like a good thing now, one wrong didn’t make a right.
Tenraku had made it clear back then that he would reclaim his lost dignity, so now he had come!
“This is a matter between you and me; it has nothing to do with the Himejima Family.” The expression on Akeno’s Uncle’s face turned complicated as he spoke of this.
“I’m only here to learn from Senior. I have no interest in others.” Tenraku replied back.
Nodding his head, Akeno’s Uncle spoke, “Very well. I accept your challenge!”
A glint of determination flashed in Uncle’s eyes as he exuded a powerful aura. However, Himejima Suzaku’s expression changed instantly. “No, Otou-Sama! It’s too dangerous to fight against Kamiya Tenraku, even for someone as strong as you.”
“This is a battle between me and this young man. No one is allowed to interfere, or they will face the consequences of our family’s law!” Uncle declared with a stern expression on his face.
“Suzaku, do not forget your responsibility as the family lord. Even if I were to die at the hands of this young man, you are not allowed to seek revenge for me. Do you understand?!” Uncle’s voice was unquestionable.
With her lips tightly pressed together, Suzaku struggled internally but ultimately couldn’t defy her father’s command. “I understand, Otou-Sama…”
A flicker of relief passed through her eyes, and then Akeno’s Uncle leaped into the air, landing across from Tenraku.
“Come, young man. Let me see how much you’ve grown over the years.”
With a slight smile on his lips, Tenraku conjured a pitch-black Demonic Sword in his hand. He then turned to Akeno by his side and said, “Akeno, wait for me over there for a while.”
“Tenraku, be careful,” Akeno cautioned, even though she knew Tenraku would never lose. She still cared and wanted to remind him. Then she stepped back to the side.
Staring at the Uncle in front of him, Tenraku narrowed his eyes. Although the man had aged significantly, his aura had become even stronger. However, no matter how much stronger his opponent had become, Tenraku saw him as nothing more than an equal!
“Let’s begin, young man.”
“Then, be very careful!”
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the battle between Tenraku and Akeno’s Uncle commenced.
Sila…
Tenraku launched the first attack, swinging his Demonic Sword, and releasing a sharp sword energy attack that shot forward.
“Hah!”
With his hands clasped together, the old man shouted loudly, and his Spirit Energy surged forth, forming a solid defensive barrier in front of him.
Hong Long!
The barrier blocked the sword energy attack, causing a burst of dazzling light and thunderous explosions to appear in the surrounding. Thunder and lightning surged out from the old man as a center, rushing toward Tenraku from all directions.
“Barrier!”
Activating his innate ability, the “Inherent Barrier,” Tenraku’s defense remained impenetrable, no matter how the thunder and lightning attacked him.
Furrowing his brows, Akeno’s Uncle immediately changed his tactic. He struck his staff against the ground.
“Gods’ Myoho · Earth!”
Hong Hong Hong…
The ground trembled, and to the astonishment of the onlookers, massive stone pillars rose from the ground, violently colliding with Tenraku, who was protected by his barrier.
Not only that, but sharp soil spikes continuously shot out from the stone pillars, aiming to strike Tenraku.
Qiang Qiang Qiang Qiang!
With a cold snort, Tenraku, wielding the Demonic Sword, swiftly spun and shattered all the incoming soil spikes.
“Hundred-combo – Chaotic Edge!”
Casually naming the attack, Tenraku unleashed a series of hundreds of sword strikes. The sharp sword energy crisscrossed and formed a massive net, descending with great force, shattering all the stone pillars and soil spikes into pieces.
“Ahhh!” Some of the practitioners who were caught in the aftermath of the battle screamed in pain. Meanwhile, Akeno’s Uncle, who stood at the center of the battlefield, struggled to withstand the onslaught of the raging sword energy.
“Is this as strong as you’ve become, young man?!” Akeno’s Uncle inwardly smiled wryly. He had been using his full power from the beginning, but his opponent probably hadn’t even utilized half of his true strength yet!
Although this was a revenge match, Tenraku was starting to feel bored. This opponent, who had once pushed him to his limits, now seemed so weak in his eyes.
“Let’s end this!” No longer interested in playing with his opponent, Tenraku descended swiftly and swung his sword.
“Ah!” With a crisp sound, Akeno’s Uncle’s staff was directly severed, and blood sprayed as he screamed and flew backward…
