In the sky, Tenraku and the girls descended, while Yubelluna and Shinra Tsubaki, having dealt with the other Evil Dragons, rushed over from the other side.
“W-What is that…” Everyone looked at the enormous energy sphere in the sky, seemingly created by Rias, their faces filled with shock.
The energy spear was huge and interwoven with red and black flames, the distant violent, and ruinous aura made their hearts race. It was not an ordinary energy sphere; it resembled a black hole ready to devour everything!
“Stay away, everyone!” Rias, with her hands raised, shouted, prompting Tenraku and the girls to quickly retreat to a safer distance.
Though they weren’t sure what Rias had conjured, it was undoubtedly dangerous!
“Sona, move!” Having completed her ultimate move, Rias shouted to Sona, who was battling Grendel. Upon receiving Rias’s signal, Sona spread her wings and swiftly left the battlefield.
Locking onto Grendel, Rias directed the enormous energy sphere towards him. While the sphere didn’t move very fast, it left a deep trench wherever it passed, causing buildings to collapse.
Even the residual shockwave had tremendous power!
“Haha… Come, attack me as much as you want!” Grendel laughed heartily, arms wide open, inviting the impending assault.
Finally, the massive energy sphere stopped above Grendel’s head. Instead of exploding as expected, the red and black flames inside it began to rotate rapidly, causing turbulent airflow and a powerful suction force.
The surrounding winds grew wild, lifting countless debris and structures into the air, only to be devoured and crushed by the colossal energy sphere.
“Move back further!” Sensing that they were being pulled closer, Tenraku and the girls retreated once more.
“Ahhh… I’m being sucked in!” Grendel’s massive body was lifted, and he struggled, trying to resist. But it was futile; his feet couldn’t find purchase, throwing off his balance.
Pū Pū Pū Pū Pū!!!!
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!!”
As Grendel’s body made contact with the energy sphere, his once impenetrable scales began to crack open, flesh and blood flying everywhere. Then, with a series of agonizing screams, his entire body was engulfed and devoured by the energy sphere.
“What the hell is this? I don’t want to die here!” Roaring and struggling, Grendel tried to escape, but he was forcefully dragged back.
“Owahhhhhhh!!!!”
Screaming in agony, Grendel’s body was relentlessly crushed and torn apart by the violent and ruinous Magic Power emanating from the sphere. After several minutes, the enormous energy sphere finally dissipated, leaving behind only Grendel’s shattered remains, with his once formidable head crashing to the ground.
“Rias!”
“Rias, club president!”
Tenraku and the girls landed beside Rias, who appeared visibly drained from unleashing such a powerful move. Tenraku caught her as she staggered.
“Rias, are you okay?” Tenraku asked while injecting some Spirit Power into her.
“I-I’m fine, just a bit drained from using too much Magic Power,” Rias replied, feeling a bit relieved.
“Rias, what was that move you just used? I’ve never seen you use it before.”
“It’s a move I developed recently, sort of my ultimate move. I call it the ‘Ruinous Celestial Body.'”
“I’ve always encountered opponents that are too strong to handle, and every time, Tenraku had to step in. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I decided to develop this ultimate move.”
The atmosphere was tense as everyone processed the aftermath of Rias’s devastating attack.
“How about it, Tenraku? My killer move wasn’t bad, was it?”
“Ah, very impressive. Even I would have had a tough time if I got caught in that.” Tenraku chuckled, giving Rias’s nose a playful flick.
Rias’s move just now was indeed extremely powerful, showcasing her mastery of ruinous Magic Power.
Just as Tenraku and the girls were about to say something—
“Ahhhhh… it hurts! It hurts!” Grendel suddenly screamed, seemingly awakening.
“Damn woman! You’ve damaged my body again. I’ll self-destruct! I’ll take you all down with me!” Grendel roared angrily.
Despite being almost destroyed, Grendel hadn’t died yet, leaving Tenraku and the girls amazed at his resilience.
“Grendel, with your current state, self-destructing won’t do much. Who are you trying to scare?” Tenraku mocked, not taking Grendel’s threats seriously.
“I had Dahaka implant a self-destruct Magic in my head. I’ll show you!” Grendel’s irritation at Tenraku’s disbelief prompted him to activate the self-destruct sequence.
“Get away!” Tenraku and the girls were taken aback by Grendel’s seriousness, quickly flying back to create distance.
Allowing someone to implant a self-destruct Magic in his head—how crazy could this guy be?!
“Hey, big dumb dragon, hurry up and explode!” Ile and Nel taunted Grendel, pulling faces at him.
Embarrassed, Grendel thought to himself, “They’ve all run away, and I’m supposed to self-destruct?!”
“If you’re so brave, don’t run away. Come back, and I’ll explode right in front of you!” Grendel shouted loudly, while Tenraku and the girls looked at him incredulously.
This muscle-headed fool really was something else. Not only was he dumb, but he also expected others to be as foolish as him!
“Grendel, we’ll stay right here and watch your little self-destruct show. Hurry up and explode.”
“Yeah, what’s the matter? Scaredy-cat!”
“You big dumb dragon, afraid of a little explosion!”
Provoking Grendel further, Tenraku and the girls intentionally teased him, causing Grendel to roar in frustration.
“Ahhhh… cursed Red Dragon Emperor, cursed women!”
“You built that school, didn’t you? If you don’t come over, I’ll blow up that school!”
With a massive Magic formation supporting his head, Grendel flew towards Auros Academy.
“My school!” Sona, of the Sitri clan, gasped in shock. Without a second thought, she tried to rush over to stop him.
The school was her dream, and she couldn’t let it be destroyed!
“Danger, Sona!”
“Come back!”
The other girls were startled, and Tenraku quickly flew out, catching Sona, who had already flown some distance and threw her back. Then, he pursued Grendel, using his ability to leap through space and bring Grendel into the air.
“Haha… Red Dragon Emperor, let’s die together!!!”
To their surprise, they had indeed hooked a big fish. Grendel laughed maniacally, then chose to self-destruct without hesitation.
The massive Magic formation emitted a dazzling light, and then—
Boom!!!!
