“Damn you Fallen Angels, all of you can go to hell!”
Continuously evading the attacks of the Light Spears, the man leaped into the air and shot a dozen Light Arrows toward the three Fallen Angels.
Fallen Angels possessed the power of light, but they also feared it. Mittelt and Kalawarner quickly dodged, but Raynare sneered before she waved her Light Spear to deflect the incoming Light Arrows. Then, she counterattacked by throwing her Light Spear toward the man.
His eyes widened, and the man, still in mid-air, had nowhere to escape. He could only watch helplessly as he was struck by the Light Spear.
“Ahhh!” Letting out a cry of agony, the man was impaled through the shoulder by the Light Spear and ruthlessly pinned to the ground.
“Kill me… kill me… My Lord will avenge us!”
Watching Raynare slowly descending, the man’s mouth was bleeding, but there was no fear in his eyes.
With a bloodthirsty and cold demeanor, Raynare stomped on the man’s head, burying it in the ground.
She thought to herself, I don’t care about any lords or peasants. If you didn’t have any remaining value to the master, I would have killed you long ago!
Meanwhile, on the other side…
“Ugh, I really hate this Sacred Gear, Excalibur!”
Having lost her patience, Irina unleashed the power of her Holy Sword, “Destruction,” causing her Excalibur to transform into a massive beam of light, slashing fiercely toward the Sacred Gear wielder who controlled shadows.
“Shadow Veil!”
Feeling panicked, the man quickly conjured a layer of pitch-black Shadow Veil to shield himself.
Silently, the enormous beam of light disappeared as it cut through the Shadow Veil, only to reappear from Xenovia’s shadow on the side!
“Durandal!”
Startled, Xenovia swiftly countered the attack, parrying the strike of the beam with all her strength.
Boom!
A loud explosion followed, causing turbulent air currents. Xenovia and Irina were both blown away, flipping several times in the air before regaining their stability and landing on the ground.
“Irina, do you want to kill me?!”
“Hahaha… Sorry, Xenovia. It wasn’t intentional.”
Xenovia roared in anger, while Irina scratched her head, wearing an apologetic expression on her face.
“Holy Sword wielders, although you are both formidable, you are useless against my abilities.”
With lingering fear in his heart, the man with sunglasses revealed a satisfied smile on his face when he saw that his abilities were working against his enemies.
Although these two Holy Sword wielders were incredibly strong, his shadow could reflect any attack. As long as he kept them at a distance, he was invincible!
“Is that so? Then let me try as well.” Just as Xenovia and Irina were about to say something, a voice suddenly sounded from the sky. They couldn’t help but look over, only to see Yubelluna, who had finished annihilating the resentful spirit cannon fodder, flying over.
Gathering several dark purple magic spheres, Yubelluna waved her magic staff, and the magic spheres shot toward the man.
Sneering, the man raised another layer of Shadow Veil to devour the incoming magic spheres. He didn’t pay much attention to Yubelluna’s magic spheres, thinking they were inconsequential.
However, as he was about to release the magic spheres from other shadows to attack his opponent, his expression suddenly changed.
Boom!
A tremendous explosion erupted from a distance, and the shadows controlled by the man splattered like ink. He himself turned deathly pale and vomited a mouthful of blood.
“No… it can’t be…” Filled with disbelief, the man collapsed to the ground, directly losing consciousness.
“Amazing, so there’s a method like this!”
“Well done, Yubelluna. Thank you so much!”
Seeing the shadow-wielding man defeated, Irina and Xenovia expressed their surprise and gratitude while Yubelluna nodded in response and showed a slight smile on her face.
The opponent’s shadows could reflect any attack, making it extremely tricky to defeat him using conventional methods. So she thought, if she could trigger an explosion within the man’s shadows, perhaps it would cause him harm. She gave it a try, and unexpectedly, she succeeded…
“Ah…”
In the sky, a scarlet magic sphere collided with a massive fireball, and from the center of the explosion, the last Sacred Gear user crashed to the ground, coughing up blood.
As the light faded, Rias, adorned in magnificent battle armor, appeared in front of everyone.
“Cough, cough, cough… You are worthy of the Crimson-haired Ruin Princess. I can’t complain about losing.”
“So, you didn’t kill me directly. You wanted to take my Sacred Gear, didn’t you? I know about Kamiya Tenraku’s ability.” Coughing up some blood, the man lying on the ground spoke.
“That’s right.” Rias dissipated her armor and didn’t deny it.
“Hahaha… Well, that’s a shame. Even if I take it to Hell, I won’t leave it for you!” A crazed expression filled the man’s face as flames ignited in his hand, ready to smash into his own chest.
However, at that moment…
Pi Li Pa La… A thunderous lightning struck, directly hitting the man.
“Ahhhhhhhh…” A scream of pain followed, and the man’s eyes rolled back as he passed out.
“Ara Ara, before having my Tenraku plunder your Sacred Gear, I can’t let you die so easily…”
…
“Ha… It’s finally over.” With the barrier dissipating, Tenraku stretched lazily and stood up.
“Tenraku.”
“Master.”
Rias and her girls, unscathed, walked back and dragged the three unconscious Sacred Gear users in front of Tenraku.
After nodding in agreement with her girls, Tenraku didn’t hold back and activated his ability to plunder Sacred Gears.
Although the three men were unconscious, they still subconsciously resisted when their Sacred Gear was being taken away. But apart from causing them more pain, it was meaningless. Tenraku effortlessly took possession of all their Sacred Gear.
The three Sacred Gears were of average grade, and they didn’t provide much power to Tenraku. But even a mosquito is meat, and Tenraku wouldn’t despise it.
Opening his hand, a white flame appeared in Tenraku’s palm. This was the Sacred Gear of the man in the black coat, called “Hands of White Flame.” It could release white flames through the hands, and the stronger the host, the more terrifying the flames’ power.
As the flame dissipated, a large bow appeared in Tenraku’s hand. This was the Sacred Gear of the man with the glasses, named “Cyan Light Arrow.”
Pulling the bow like a full moon, with a swish, a green Light Arrow shot out from Tenraku, splitting into a hundred, then a thousand fragments, exploding like fireworks in the sky above Kuoh Town. After everything calmed down, the massive clouds that had been floating over Kuoh Town had all disappeared, revealing the resplendent starry sky.
Feeling satisfied, Tenraku nodded as this was also a decent Sacred Gear. It could be developed further and used as a good long-range weapon in the future.
However, compared to “Hands of White Flame” and “Cyan Light Arrow,” Tenraku was most interested in the Sacred Gear possessed by the shadow-wielding man.
This Sacred Gear was called “Shield of the Dark Night – Night Reflection.” It could manipulate shadows, and absorb and reflect the enemy’s attacks through shadows.
However, Sacred Gear never had a fixed ability. Different hosts exhibited different abilities, and with enough creativity, many miraculous abilities could be developed. In Tenraku’s eyes, this Sacred Gear capable of manipulating shadows had tremendous potential!
For example…
With a thought, Tenraku’s shadow distorted, quickly connecting to the shadows of Rias and her girls.
Raising his hand, Tenraku pinched his own cheek, and Rias and her girls followed suit, their faces filled with astonishment as they pinched their own cheeks.
‘Isn’t this the “Shadow Imitation Technique” from the world of Naruto? I tried it, and it worked!’ Tenraku silently thought in his mind.
“Tenraku!”
“Onii-Chan!”
Being controlled to perform such an embarrassing action, Yubelluna and the others blushed, while Rias and Ravel glared at Tenraku in anger.
“Hahaha… Sorry, sorry.”
Laughing heartily, Tenraku released his control and then tried out other ideas.
Moving through the shadows, using them as weapons to attack enemies, or even using shadows as infinite storage space, retrieving stored items anywhere with shadows.
Indeed, nothing is impossible if you can think of it. This time, Tenraku had truly obtained an awesome Sacred Gear!
