"Leave me alone!"
The newly formed portal, like glass being gripped by an invisible hand, instantly cracked and shattered!
The attempt to remotely retrieve the items was thwarted instantly!
With another wave of his hand, Zhou Ye forcibly extracted the two orbs of light representing the origin of the God-Slaying Tool from the bodies of Hyakki Yoru and Ikise Tobi, and merged them into his own body.
Having lost their divine weapons and exhausted all their life force, the two bodies turned to ashes and vanished in the wind after completing their final mission.
Zhou Ye calmly looked at everything and spoke softly.
"Euclid and Li Zevim's goal was never this."
"This is just a grand diversionary tactic."
His words stunned everyone.
Azazel was the first to react, exclaiming, "A diversionary tactic? Then their real target is..."
at this time.
Himejima Akeno felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart, and an overwhelming sense of foreboding surged into her mind.
Her face turned deathly pale, and she gasped in shock.
"Oh no! It's my mother's...!"
The words are not finished yet.
Om-!
The magical communication array in front of Rias began flashing red light wildly.
She quickly answered the call.
From inside came the anxious voice of her kin, Kiba Yuuto, who was responsible for intercepting enemies on the outskirts of the battlefield.
"Minister! Something terrible has happened!"
"Just now, at Lady Himejima's grave, Lord Baiqiu... engaged in combat with the enemy!"
Chapter 283 Deathly Fight at the Tomb, the Enraged Baiqiu
Kiba Yuto's anxious words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's minds.
Himejima Akeno's body swayed violently, and she almost lost her balance.
Mother's grave!
Baiqiu, whose father had left the group at some point.
In an instant, all the clues came together.
Make noise in the east and attack in the west.
No, this isn't even a feint.
The riot at the Hyakki family's residence and the rampage of the two God-Slaying Gears were all just a smokescreen to keep everyone's attention pinned to this place!
A grand fireworks display, magnificent enough and brutal enough to attract the attention of all the high-ranking officials from the three factions.
The real dagger had already silently pierced their most unexpected and vulnerable spot.
Euclid!
Rias gritted her teeth and uttered the name, and the destructive magic once again overflowed uncontrollably.
She finally understood.
The other side has no intention of starting a full-scale war; that would be a thankless and arduous task.
His goal was crystal clear from the very beginning.
Human history has seen instances of people holding emperors hostage to command feudal lords, but Euclid did something similar: he held Zhu Li's ashes hostage to control Bai Qiu and Zhu Nai, and further remotely interfered with their husband (son-in-law) Zhou Ye.
……
at the same time.
A solemn cemetery on the outskirts of Kyoto.
Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, it's so quiet that you can only hear the rustling of the wind through the leaves.
But at this moment, that tranquility was completely shattered.
The real Saeko Busujima and Nami are locked in combat with several demons dressed in black noble attire.
Sword 09 flashed, and the storm howled.
"As expected, these old devils who have lived for who knows how many years, when they get into it, they have one trick after another." Saeko Busujima said coldly after killing a demon with a single sword strike.
As early as when they noticed that the two women following Zhou Ye had a slightly strange aura, they became wary. With Zhou Ye's tacit permission, they secretly broke away from the group and followed another faint trace of magic to this place.
Sure enough, they blocked another group of enemies here.
These demons are quite powerful, clearly among the elite forces of the old Demon King's faction.
But their goal was not to fight Saeko and Saeko to the death, but to desperately stall for time, their eyes constantly glancing at the tombstone in the center of the cemetery.
there.
The figure of Euclid Lucyfigus stood there like a ghost.
He completely ignored the fierce battle around him, as well as the presence of Saeko Busujima and Nami.
His face bore a morbid, almost obsessive, euphoric look.
He reached out, his pale fingers about to touch the cold stone tablet inscribed with the name "Himejima Akari".
He seemed to want to take something out of there.
Just as his fingertips were about to touch the stone tablet.
A thunderous roar tore through the night sky.
"Chubby!"
"Get your filthy hands off my wife's gravestone!"
Boom!
The sky seemed to be torn open by an invisible hand, and a burly figure fell from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground.
Twelve jet-black wings unfurled behind him, whipping up a whirlwind that sent the surrounding trees swaying wildly.
The newcomer was none other than Baichu, the Fallen Angel of Thunder, a high-ranking member of the Fallen Angels!
His eyes were bloodshot, fixed intently on Euclid.
That wasn't just simple anger.
It was a man's, a husband's, rage mixed with overwhelming killing intent, endless regret, and the desire to grind the other person to dust!
Baiqiu landed, his body flashing with dazzling lightning, and his powerful aura caused the black-clad demons to pause in their movements.
He glanced at Saeko Busujima and Nami, who were fighting hard, and spoke in a hoarse but steady voice.
"Thank you, little girls."
"Please help me guard my beloved wife's grave."
He paused, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"I will tear this tomb raider to pieces with my own hands!"
This declaration transformed all his longing for his deceased wife, all his guilt, and all the unspoken love into the purest and most terrifying endless killing intent of this moment.
He wanted to use this scum's blood to wash away this defiled sacred land.
Faced with Bych's fury that seemed to ignite the very air, Euclid finally withdrew his hand.
He turned around, his face showing no fear whatsoever, but rather a deep sense of sarcasm and mockery.
"hehe."
He chuckled.
"Bai Qiuqing, don't get so agitated."
"I'm not a grave robber, I'm just here to help your wife, Himejima Akari, come back to life."
Euclid's choice of words only fueled Bych's anger.
These words were like a red-hot branding iron, scorching Bai Qiu's reason.
What utter nonsense about resurrection! Azazel just contacted him, telling him about the terrible state of Hyakki Yoriyo and Ikase Tobio, the users of the God Destroyer Gear. The living were tortured to death, and their souls were completely destroyed!
He is defiling Zhu Li!
"Shut up!"
Bai Qiu's roar was no longer just words.
It's about action!
Without another word, he transformed into a black lightning bolt and instantly rushed towards Euclid.
The lightning of judgment converged in his hand into a ferocious spear, piercing straight into the opponent's heart!
Euclid's mocking expression remained unchanged; he simply raised one hand gracefully.
A dark red magic shield bearing the Lucifer family crest appeared out of thin air and precisely blocked the tip of the lightning spear.
boom--!
The collision of thunder and darkness erupted with a deafening roar.
A violent energy shockwave spread outwards in all directions from the two of them.
The ground was blown away, and the surrounding tombstones exploded in patches, turning into dust.
Saeko Busujima, Nami, and the other women hurriedly retreated, simultaneously blocking the aftershocks that were heading towards Akari Himejima's tombstone.
"Is this... the power of a Fallen Angel executive?" Nami stared in shock at the center of the battlefield shrouded in lightning and darkness.
“Not enough.” Saeko Busujima gripped her longsword tighter. “That guy named Euclid is stronger.”
