The [Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi – Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds ] gleamed in Tenraku’s hand as he led his Peerage charging towards Rias’ group. Rias and the girls also rushed towards Tenraku’s group.
This was a great chaotic war, so there was no need for so-called tactics or strategies, just the need for battle!
“Yah!!!!”
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!!”
In the instant of collision, Tenraku let out a loud shout, releasing a vast and violent surge of Spirit Qi. Rias and the girls were sent flying, crying out in surprise.
“Rias, Sona, let’s take to the skies!”
“Haha…”
With a hearty laugh, Tenraku activated the Hermes’ Boots. Two pairs of golden divine wings spread beneath his feet, transforming into a streak of golden light shooting into the sky.
In the previous Peerage interception battle, a barrier was imposed to prevent aerial flight within the dimensional space. However, in the current chaotic war, flight was no longer restricted.
Rias and Sona would not allow Tenraku to escape. They unfurled a pair of scarlet Dragon Wings and azure light wings respectively, transforming into two streaks of light, chasing after Tenraku.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three Kings battled in the air, while the various Peerages fought on the ground below.
With martial arts, magic, sword qi, and Sacred Gear, the battlefield within the dimensional space became extremely lively. The atmosphere in the viewing venue outside the dimensional space reached an unprecedented climax.
“Yah! Hah hah!”
With spirited shouts, Mira wielded her Fine Iron Rod, flipping it up and down, continuously attacking her opponent, Bennia.
Though this little one was a fan of Lord Tenraku, they were now in opposing positions, and she had to be defeated!
Swift and agile, Bennia managed to dodge Mira’s attacks several times.
With a light snort, Mira extended her Fine Iron Rod rapidly and it shot towards Bennia like a bullet.
A hint of astonishment appeared on Bennia’s face. She hurriedly held her Reaper’s Scythe in front of her. With a clang, the iron rod and the giant scythe clashed harshly and the tremendous force made Bennia take a few steps back involuntarily.
“Mira-San!”
Just as Mira was about to continue her attack, Gasper’s voice rang out. His eyes, shining with a strange light, were fixed on her.
‘Not good’ Mira thought and she quickly retreated and joined the others.
“Sucky little brother, are you planning to use some powerful magic? You almost scared that girl wielding a staff away,” Kuroka’s voice sounded, her graceful figure floating in the air. She had already condensed a wheel of Spirit Qi in her hand and aimed it at Xuelan.
“Not really, Mira-San knew I was about to use the power of my Evil Eye, so she retreated.”
“Little brother, you have an Evil Eye? Is it a Sacred Gear’s ability?” Bennia asked.
“Yes, it’s a Sacred Gear’s ability. I can freeze the opponent’s time just by looking at something. But right now, everyone is mixed together. If I use my ability randomly, I might end up freezing our own comrades too.”
“Oh, oh, indeed, little brother, that’s quite an amazing ability. How about we team up? I’ll lure the enemies over, and then little brother, you can use your Evil Eye’s ability. As long as we freeze the enemies, victory will be ours.”
“Huh, can we do that?”
“Don’t worry, with me here, it’s definitely possible. We’re comrades on the same front now.”
“You’re right, then… let’s give it a try?”
“Little brother, wait a moment. I’ll be right back after I go lure them over.”
Watching Bennia disappear like the wind, Gasper marveled at how formidable this Reaper Miss was. But thinking about their joint operation, Gasper also quickly focused. As soon as the enemy was lured over, he would immediately activate his Sacred Gear’s ability.
…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
On one side of the battlefield, Xuelan and Koneko-Chan were locked in fierce combat.
Both being Rooks, they often sparred during training at home. Both Xuelan and Koneko-chan were very familiar with each other’s moves.
Understanding each other’s Sacred Gear abilities, Koneko-chan continuously attacked Xuelan with bursts of Spirit Qi while trying to avoid direct contact with her. However, as the battle continued, she was inadvertently caught by the opponent a few times. Koneko-chan felt her body getting heavier, and the fight was becoming a bit challenging.
“Xuelan, it’s unforgivable to bully my Shirone!” Kuroka’s voice echoed in the surroundings as her graceful figure floated in the air, and a wheel of Spirit Qi had already formed in her hand. It locked onto Xuelan and was sent hurtling downwards.
“Not good!”
Knowing how formidable Kuroka was, Xuelan hastily retreated. However, the wheel of Spirit Qi locked onto her and relentlessly pursued, then, with a resounding explosion, it struck Xuelan.
“Ahhhhhh…”
In an instant, Xuelan’s cry was drowned in the turbulent and violent energy currents.
“Sister…”
Still affected by the oppressive gravity, Koneko-chan struggled to raise herself and looked at her elder sister who had fallen beside her.
As Spirit Qi surged, Kuroka placed a hand on Koneko-chan:
“Scatter!”
The abnormal gravity caused by the Sacred Gear was dispelled, and Koneko-chan finally felt a lot lighter.
“Shirone, if you don’t want to get hit, just envelop yourself in Qi. Now, go take care of Xuelan. I’ll be here to guide you.” Kuroka spoke with affection while stroking Koneko-chan’s forehead.
The reason she didn’t directly take out Xuelan was to let her younger sister practice.
“Yes, sister!” Clutching her fists tightly, Koneko-chan nodded vigorously.
…
Clang! Clang! Boom!
On the other side of the battlefield, Xenovia, Irina, Karlamine, and Siris were once again engaged in combat.
Their Demonic Swords had already been broken countless times. Karlamine continuously blocked Xenovia’s storm-like attacks.
Xenovia was the type of power-based swordsman, and her Holy Sword Durandal possessed incredible destructive power. The nearby ground was filled with the scars left by her sword strikes. Even fighting against a humanoid Berserker Dragon opponent like Karlamine was still very challenging for her.
Not far away, Siris, who was battling Irina, was in a similar predicament.
With a Golden Holy Sword in her hand, Siris vigilantly observed everything around her. Although she couldn’t see anything, she knew Irina was somewhere in her vicinity.
Because Irina’s speed was too fast to be caught by the naked eye, but she definitely existed!
With a splatter, a bloodstain suddenly burst out on Siris’s body, and Irina’s figure finally appeared.
“Holy Sword of Heavenly Flare,” Irina said while raising a finger.
The Holy Sword of Heavenly Flare, one of the seven abilities of the Holy Sword Excalibur, grants the wielder extreme speed.
Combined with the extreme speed of a Knight and the Holy Sword of Heavenly Flare’s ability, Irina had an absolute advantage in speed.
Irina’s figure suddenly faded and became transparent, and then another bloodstain burst out on Siris:
“This is the Holy Sword of Transparency.”
Reappearing on the other side, Irina grinned.
The Holy Sword of Transparency, also one of Excalibur’s seven abilities, allows not only the sword itself but also the wielder to become transparent. It was incredibly eerie, making it almost impossible to defend against once used.
“Damn it!”
With an ugly expression on her face, Siris knew that if this continued, she would undoubtedly be defeated. Without further hesitation, Siris stomped her foot and shot towards Irina.
However, Irina’s figure dispersed like a phantom, and another bloodstain appeared behind Siris!
“Hehe, this is the Holy Sword of Dreams.”
The Holy Sword of Dreams, yet another ability of Excalibur, allows control over dreams and illusions!
Seeing Siris, who was already in a sorry state, Irina had no intention of continuing.
She still had to deal with the rogue Tenraku. Let Siris stop here!
“Come on, Siris, the final one is—”
“Holy Sword of Destruction!”
