EPHS-Chapter 268 Retreat

Previous ChapterNext Chapter


“Fallen Angel, Valkyrie, let’s call it quits for now,” Siegfried said as he leaped, evading the attacks of Raynare and Rossweisse.

Siegfried possessed the Sacred Gear, “Hand of the Dragon – Twice Critical.” He had already unleashed its Forbidden Move, “Feast of the Asura and Demonic Dragon – Chaos Edge Asura Ravage.” Besides his normal arms, he now had four additional silver arms covered in dragon scales, resembling the legendary form of Asura.

“Do you want to escape now, you coward!” Raynare shouted, gripping a spear of light and charging forward. However, Siegfried unleashed six Sword Energy lights that blocked Raynare’s advance. By the time Raynare reached the spot, Siegfried had already vanished into the mist.

“Damn it!” Raynare grimaced and punched the ground. Her anger was still not completely vented. They had escaped, and she cursed them for it. But when she saw some of the remaining members of the Hero Faction nearby, the twisted Fallen Angel smiled maliciously and rushed towards these unfortunate souls…

“Ahhhhh…!” On the other side of the battlefield, Jeanne d’Arc stood atop a Giant Dragon composed of Holy Swords. The dragon’s mouth constantly took in and released countless sharp Holy Swords. Eight Pawn girls and two Knight girls shrieked and fell one by one, forming pools of blood beneath them.

This move was called “Holy Dragon of Judgement – Stake Victim Dragon.” It was a variant of the Forbidden Move that Jeanne developed from her “Holy Sword Creation.” It seemed a bit too brutal to use against these adorable juniors.

Not far away, Heracles also unleashed the Forbidden Move of his Sacred Gear, “Malicious Wave of the Superman – Detonation Mighty Comet.” and missiles-like protrusions continuously emerged from all over his body and were launched, creating explosive sounds that turned the entire land into chaos. Except for Semiria, who held the position of Queen, two Rook girls and two Bishop girls also fell into the pool of blood.

“Heracles, stop playing around. Everyone is retreating,” Jeanne elegantly stretched her waist and called out to Heracles.

“I got it, let’s go too.” Heracles stopped his attacks, his interest waning. Although the strength of several Saintesses was decent, they were far from being his match. After a battle, he couldn’t muster any enthusiasm.

Semiria, on the ground, gasped for breath, her beautiful face turned pale due to excessive Magic Power consumption. With tightly clenched lips, her eyes were filled with guilt and frustration.

Even though Lord Tenraku trusted them so much, they had disappointed him!

A wave of fog enveloped Jeanne and Heracles, preparing to teleport them away. However, at that moment…

“Do you think you can leave?!” Tenraku’s voice echoed in the surroundings, followed by a stream of light plummeting from the sky.

Boom!

The Giant Dragon formed by the Holy Swords directly exploded, engulfed in billowing smoke, with fragments of broken swords flying everywhere.

Tenraku had arrived!

In Tenraku’s hands was Jeanne d’Arc, but she had completely fainted and lost consciousness!

Tenraku swiftly moved Jeanne into the Saints and Demons Hall, then quickly released several clusters of shimmering light to heal the girls’ injuries. Finally, he lifted the pale-faced Semiria from the ground.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Lord Tenraku. We have disappointed you…” Tears streamed down Semiria’s face as she apologized repeatedly.

They were truly too weak and were unable to accomplish anything, unable to do anything well. They didn’t deserve to be Lord Tenraku’s Peerage.

“You have done well, considering they were two core members of the Hero Faction and users of Forbidden Moves with Sacred Gears. If you feel dissatisfied, then strive harder to become stronger. I need your power, Semiria.”

As the armor on his face dissipated, Tenraku gently rubbed the girl’s forehead as he spoke while Semiria’s expression froze, and then more tears rolled down her eyes.

“If it were the former Diodora, regardless of the reason for their failure, they would have suffered severe punishment and torment. But Lord Tenraku not only didn’t blame them but also comforted and acknowledged them.”

This gave rise to an impulse in Semiria, an impulse to immediately give her life for their king!

“Yes, Lord Tenraku!”

Although tears still flowed, a happy smile appeared on the girl’s face.

Indeed, being Lord Tenraku’s Peerage was their greatest honor!

Tenraku allowed Semiria and the other girls to return to the Saints and Demons Hall to recuperate, then he turned his gaze to Heracles, who hadn’t retreated yet.

“My anger could use some venting right now. You didn’t take the opportunity to escape and stayed behind. Are you prepared?”

Locking onto Heracles on the opposite side, Tenraku’s icy voice resonated from within his armor.

“Hey, hey… prepared or not, it doesn’t matter. I just want to have a good fight with a formidable opponent.”

“To be able to push Cao Cao to such a degree, Kamiya Tenraku, you won’t disappoint me, will you?”

With a good-natured smile on his face, Heracles’ gaze suddenly became as fierce as a beast.

“Lai, lai, lai…”

Hundreds of “missiles” emerged from Heracles’ body and flew towards Tenraku, overwhelming him.

“Skill of no high order!”

With a cold sneer, Tenraku raised his hand and countless wind blades swept out, causing the incoming “missiles” to explode in mid-air with thunderous blasts.

“HāHāHā… Just like that, just like that!”

Laughing heartily, Heracles became excited, and his massive body thumped as he ran towards Tenraku.

With each step, the earth trembled, and when he reached Tenraku’s proximity, Heracles leaped into the air, raising his enormous iron fist and unleashing a roaring attack toward Tenraku.

“Ddraig, full power!”

“Understood!”

Stepping forward, Tenraku also threw a punch.

Even if death awaited, it was a challenge of their own making. Right now, Tenraku just wanted to vent his anger.

That bastard Cao Cao ran away in the middle of the fight. Making a joke out of him!

Both sides unleashed their full power with a powerful punch. When they collided in mid-air…

Boom!!!!!!!!!

A deafening explosion filled the sky, and the earth cracked, obliterating everything within a hundred-meter radius.

“Ahhhhh…”

In the enormous crater, Tenraku remained standing in his original position, but Heracles was sent flying, spewing blood, and crashed violently onto the ground.

“So, this is the power that pushed Cao Cao to the brink…”

“Wow!!!”

Feeling shaken and relieved, Heracles couldn’t help but cough up another mouthful of blood.

A wave of mist enveloped Heracles, attempting to take him away, but Tenraku also flashed over and instantly inserted his hand into Heracles’ chest.

“Ahhhhh!”

In agonizing screams, but soon abruptly silenced, Heracles was carried away by the mist.

However…

Looking at the jade jewel in his hand, Tenraku casually cut it with a word.

He didn’t care about the life or death of that big guy. But what he wanted was already in his hands!
