Accompanied by Ravel and Kunou, Tenraku first found his Peerage, Yubelluna’s group of girls. Shuriya and Siris had sustained some minor injuries, but nothing serious. Tenraku treated the girls’ injuries and together they cleared the area of Evil Dragons.
As the battle entered its final stages, the number of Evil Dragons dwindled. Tenraku instructed Yubelluna’s group to support Shinra Haruka and Nimura Ruruko’s team, while he and Ravel continued towards another battlefield to join Akeno’s group.
As expected by Tenraku, the battle on Akeno’s side was progressing smoothly. Asia knelt within a barrier, resembling a saintess praying to her True Lord. The others fought around her, and whenever someone was injured, Asia released healing orbs to restore their health.
“Akeno, are you okay?” Tenraku flew over to Akeno after piercing through a massive Evil Dragon.
“Yes, we’re all fine.” Akeno paused the battle and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Akeno wore a miko long gown in red and white, with three pairs of Fallen Angel wings spread behind her. She wielded the Sacred Gear True Longinus shared with her by Tenraku, with Thunderlight occasionally erupting from her Holy Spear.
Additionally, a sacred halo appeared behind Akeno, with three bowling ball-sized orbs rotating within it— the Forbidden Move, Three Treasures Saṃsāra Spear.
Although Akeno’s talents were impressive, she still couldn’t match Tenraku in controlling Sacred Gears. Together, they had developed the Forbidden Move of True Longinus, but Akeno currently only mastered Flying Treasure, Sealing Treasure, and General Treasure (Parinayakaratana).
Nevertheless, compared to other Sacred Gear users, Akeno was already formidable. Even with only the Three Treasures Saṃsāra Spear unlocked, she could hold her own against Demon King-level opponents.
Tenraku glanced around the battlefield and saw Rossweisse flying in a Valkyrie skirt, launching attacks with her Magic arrays like mobile artillery. Nearby, Xenovia and Irina worked together as swordsmen and Knights, seamlessly coordinating their Holy Sword Durandal and Excalibur to slay enemies.
Shifting his gaze, Tenraku found Gasper on one side of the battlefield. Having trained under Azazel for some time, Gasper had shown some growth, dodging attacks from Evil Dragons and freezing enemies with his Evil Eye, then finishing them off with Magic.
Though not as fast at eliminating enemies as Rossweisse and Xenovia, Gasper’s progress was commendable.
No longer focusing on Gasper, Tenraku searched for Kuroka and Koneko-chan. Kuroka, the striking nekomata, caught his eye immediately. She bombarded Evil Dragons with a combination of immortal and monster techniques, displaying a relaxed demeanor.
But what surprised Tenraku was the beautiful elder sister beside Kuroka. With silver short hair and a tight kimono, she bore a striking resemblance to Kuroka.
“I-Is that Koneko-chan?” Tenraku asked in disbelief.
“Hē Hē Hē… Surprised, aren’t you?”
“That’s one of Kuroka’s new Neko techniques taught to Koneko. It allows her to synchronize the natural energy around her with her own Spirit Power, temporarily granting Koneko control over the Nekomata’s power. Koneko calls it the ‘Shirone Mode.'” Akeno chuckled and explained to Tenraku.
Tenraku was astonished— it really was Koneko-chan! He watched as Koneko-chan agilely evaded attacks from several Evil Dragons, conjuring a dozen fiery chariot wheels in the air with one hand. The wheels burned with white flames.
“That’s the ‘Fire-carriage,’ one of the Nekomata’s abilities.”
“The ‘Fire-carriage’ is a Yōkai that ferries the deceased to the afterlife, said to be another form of the Nekomata.”
“According to the intelligence you brought back last time, those Evil Dragons were all converted by Rizevim using Vampires, and most ordinary Vampires are transformed from resurrected humans. The ‘Fire-carriage’ should have a significant restraining effect on them,” Akeno explained, as Koneko-chan below began to act.
With a wave of the girl’s arm, a dozen or so ‘Fire-carriages’ conjured in the air began to rotate rapidly, then flew towards the surrounding Evil Dragons. Every Evil Dragon hit by them would instantly be enveloped in the white flames, screaming in agony before quickly turning into ashes!
Tenraku couldn’t help but nod in approval. Indeed, Koneko-chan was truly skilled. With the assistance of Ravel, Kunou, and the other girls, the remaining Evil Dragons in the vicinity were swiftly eliminated.
After clearing out all the nearby enemies, everyone gathered together.
“Red Dragon Emperor, were you scared by our Shirone?” Kuroka teased from behind, her arm around Koneko-chan’s shoulder. Koneko-chan blushed, asking shyly, “Tenraku-senpai, do you like how I look when I grow up?”
“Oh, I really, really love it. Koneko-chan, you’re the prettiest,” Tenraku said sincerely, brushing the girl’s forehead.
Koneko-chan was already very beautiful and adorable, but as she grew up, she added a touch of charm. Standing with Kuroka, the two sisters—one pure white, the other seductively black— were simply amazing!
As the Neko Technique wore off, Koneko-chan’s aura dissipated, and her body gradually shrank back to its original size. Tenraku felt a slight regret that he hadn’t had enough time to admire her.
However, since Koneko-chan now belonged to him, he knew that as long as he raised her for a few more years, that perfect Koneko-chan from earlier would appear before him again.
Just as Tenraku was about to say something, a strange fluctuation of Magic Power suddenly spread, and everyone instinctively looked towards the battlefield where Rias and her team were.
Under the shocked expressions of Tenraku and the girls, they saw an immensely huge energy sphere slowly floating in the distant sky, emitting a violent and ruinous aura…
