The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 125 ~ Chaos Holy Kingdom Sancteral VII

Rusava created a blood-red scythe that was clad in by a sinister aura before his enemy. The shape was as sinister as despair and the blade curved like death.

Darguns, the demon with the lava motif immediately recalled a special technique that only high-level Blood Devils could use, namely Blood Art.

"I thought I wanted to protest because I was ordered to confront an intruder with you, Augsnel, but now I've changed my mind."

Darguns smiled savagely when he saw Rusava as if it was a prey he had been waiting for so much before.

"Tch, are you the only one who doesn't feel welcome? I'd rather not be paired with a demon like you."

Actually the feeling of not accepting Augsnel has been forgotten because of the appearance of the Blood Devil. However, why did Augsnel feel there was something strange about all this?

"Did I care? A weak angel like you can see and see my glorious victory!"

Shortly after speaking, the two arms of Darguns were wrapped in flames that changed the shape and size of his arms. Black hard skin covers the arms of Darguns from the fingertips to the shoulders. Not only that, the curved spines were also created along with lava motifs that flowed through his arms.

"Heh, are you sure you're just applying your fire demon mode into the arm? It seems you underestimated the Blood Devil too much."

Although Augsnel did not care about the safety of the Darguns but the Darguns were quite a valuable figure to the organization. Losing the Darguns would only add to the losses the organization received, and the chiefs would definitely not remain silent.

"Haha! Your defeat was indeed a shame, Augsnel! But don't you equate me with you!"

Darguns laughed loudly while taking a body position before making a straight forward punch. He gathered mana and focused it on his right arm.

Augsnel smiled wryly, thinking that the Darguns were so stupid for underestimating the Blood Devil too much. At the same time, Augsnel finally understood the reason for the strange feeling he felt from the beginning.

All of that turned out to be due to the Blood Devil that was before them, having a very high possibility that he was not the one who defeated Augsnel before.

"My pride doesn't feel any resentment towards him" Augsnel murmured.

Damm!!!

The passageway they occupied was made to be destroyed consecutively by the waves caused by the Darguns' blows as heating. The wave of crushing blows moved swiftly towards Rusava and Rakuza who were still in their place.

"Rakuza, move behind me" Rusava ordered slowly.

Rakuza received the order without asking or thinking about the reason. He firmly believed that Rusava's orders had a compelling reason for his safety.

Rusava then rotates the sickle quickly until it looks like a spinning wheel, accumulating mana at the end of the curved sickle blade and then smash it.

The shing! The drakkk!

The curved blade of the sickle was plugged into the floor in full force. The two forces gathered collided with each other, causing a burst of power that destroyed a large part of the passageway they occupied.

Although Rusava managed to deny it but he perfectly understood that this attack was nothing more than an opening attack. For that Rusava did not lower his vigilance in the slightest.

"Rakuza, you can still run, right?"

Rakuza looked suspiciously at Rusava who was whispering like that, she was very confident that Rusava would tell her to back off first.

"Mr Rusava, you don't intend to fight him alone, do you?"

Although Rakuza knew he would only be a burden but at least he did not want to retreat like a coward.

"You're right, but you're wrong. It would be troublesome if you had to fight while protecting you, let alone against the two of them that cannot be underestimated, only defeat is waiting," explained Rusava.

Even for a [True Ancestors] like him, it was impossible to fight two people who were almost equal while protecting others.

But Rakuza was silent, and it made Rusava feel astonished.

"Hey, what's with your silence? I didn't tell you to run, go and find some friends?!"

Rusava had not yet finished his words, Darguns lunged. Stripped the clenched hand with great force at the great scythe of Rusava.

"Have the bases?!" shouting Darguns.

Darguns quickly drew the first blow, then struck the second. All the attacks were directed by the Darguns on Rusava's body but it seemed like Rusava was able to fend off well.

"Go!" shout Rusava.

The position of Rusava is clearly unfavorable. Each attack from the Darguns managed to make him retreat bit by bit. If this goes on, Rakuza will be affected.

"Just in case you are, Mr Rusava!" Rakuza moved quickly and disappeared from where she was.

"Have you given up?! Ahhahahah!"

Darguns laughed loudly while constantly attacking. The Darguns attack might not be special, just an ordinary punch added with power. But Rusava will still die, if it underestimates him.

"Rush? You are a fool yes, our Blood Devil will not give up before we lose completely," Rusava said as he let out a meaningful smile.

Shutt!

Darguns delivered a powerful blow that was draped in by the fire and power of his own.

Damm!!

The Darguns' punches collide with the curved blades found in the Rusava crescent.

Krakk!

A crack appeared on the Rusava scythe right at the part hit by the Darguns' blow. The crack spread over time, crushing the Rusava scythe into pieces.

For no particular reason, the Darguns looked a little surprised by the destruction of Rusava's scythe until it was silent for a while. This opportunity was taken as best as possible by Rusava to step back and observe the situation.

"Blood Art huh? It's not as strong as what was written."

Darguns fumbled at his completely unharmed hand. And instead, he looked disappointed after seeing a weapon made from the Blood Devil technique could be destroyed easily.

"Oh, that's not sure, is it? Let's start round two."

Rusava re-created his red scythe. This time he had no intention to play around and immediately coated the scythe with a terrifying black flame.

The power of the scythe itself had already been increased, coupled with the black flames then it almost became a perfect weapon.

If asked about the flaws, then there was only one thing Rusava could think of, which was his element match with the Darguns which was quite bad.

"Fire with fire? Hahahaha, what an interesting!"

Darguns also wrapped his arms with fire as if he did not want to lose to Rusava. Different from Rusava who clad his scythe with black flames, Darguns clad his arms with a yellowish-red flame like an ordinary flame.

Seeing the Darguns who were still underestimating the power of the Blood Devil made Augsnel unable to hold back any longer the curiosity said in his heart.

"Darguns, you will regret if you underestimate the Blood Devil too much. At least, use half of your demon mode."

"Newcomers like you don't hunt me down, I know very well the power of my enemies!"

Augsnel's breathing was clear, he never thought that the Darguns were really this stubborn.

"Whatever, I won't warn you anymore."

Augsnel had no intention of helping the Darguns against this one Blood Devil. Whether the Darguns will be defeated and die, he doesn't really care.

There was only one enemy he had to defeat, the Blood Devil who defeated him.

The sky of Zarisma City was filled with colors. The color of the power and chaos was quite beautiful. The boom after bang produced when the Avrogan lightning as well as the Indacrus light smashed the barrier one by one could be heard clearly.

"Then they should have moved."

Ren who watched all of them stepped forward to approach the assaulted City of Zarisma. As he thought, the enemy had already started to make a move. Hundreds to thousands of people began to gather in the city fortress.

True enough, they were not ordinary people but rather knights who wore complete armor. Based on the color of the armor they wore, Ren was able to guess that they came from different regions.

"Huh?" Ren glanced back to look at the two women who were still standing still with a gaze that led to Zarisma City. "What are you doing, I'm leaving you?" asked Ren astonished.

The two of them came to a puzzled expression as they found that Ren calling them had been quite far ahead.

"Well! Wait, Ren-sama!" nirlayn shouted running while being followed by Arystina.

It had to be said that the atmosphere between them did not look like they were on the battlefield at all. People would ask, the atmosphere was relaxed and no matter what kind of thing this was?

"Don't run ... walk with grace and pride, you don't see many people who want to welcome us?"

Ren joked a bit by saying the opposite of the real truth. However, the joke itself seemed useless, aka not making Nirlayn and Arystina laugh.

"Geez, these are," said Ren resignedly as he stepped back.

There was no question that the place awaiting their arrival was already overwhelmed by the atmosphere of battle. There were knights who tried to evacuate the population, and there were also some of them who tried to attack Avrogan and Indacrus.

Some people who previously wanted to enter Zarisma City immediately turned around and fled from this place.

Indeed it is easy to understand, after all what kind of person wants to involve themselves in the chaos of a country? Maybe, just a hero?

"I wholeheartedly apologize to the innocent people who have been involved in the chaos, I do this because they are my enemies, regardless of their good or evil."

This apology was only spoken in Ren's heart and it was impossible for them to actually hear it. Even so, he felt quite with an apology like this.

As his heart apologized, the thump from the unconscious attack had stopped. The stopping bang signaled that all the barriers had been destroyed by Avrogan and Indacrus.

For the sake of accuracy, Ren examined the truth by expanding the perception of which towards the City of Zarisma. As he expected, all the barriers were indeed destroyed, it allowed Ren to explore Zarisma City fully and freely.

But things that require concentration are like exploring a city with a perception of where it will be done later. First of all, he had to order Avrogan and Indacrus to retreat first.

"Avrogan, Indacrus, back off!" ren's orders to both.

They responded quickly with a quick retreat and canceled the attack to be launched. Yes, if not stopped they will attack again even if the barrier is gone.

What are the two of them thinking exactly? Mass human annihilation? Ren does not really care about humans but killing for no reason is unforgivable.

"What are you guys doing? I didn't give the order to kill all life in this city" Ren said, shaking his head.

Avrogan and Indacrus who had just landed in front of Ren were staring at each other with confused faces.

"Eh? Didn't you order us not to hold back?" ask Indacrus.

"True, didn't you show the aura of "Kill them all!" or something?" terang Avrogan's.

Ren could not deny it, he did say that to the two of them. However, the intent of his words was not an order to destroy anything, or kill anyone.

It is clear that Avrogan and Indacrus had misunderstood Ren's words about no restraint.

"Not holding back from breaking the barrier, that's what I mean. Geez, it would be troublesome if you killed all the humans that were there."

If the news of Ren ordering his two [Beast Servants] to kill one life in the city was widespread then it was certain that he would become the enemy of all humans in the world.

"I certainly don't want to live in the shadow of mass murder," Inner Ren felt a little goosebumps.

Avrogan and Indacrus heard Ren's explanation as best they could. They both realized this misunderstanding, and decided to bow down and apologize.

"I'm sorry for not being able to understand your commands well" said Indacrus.

"Yes, I also apologize, sir."

Ren sighed then spoke to explain his next move, "Forget it, from here on we'll go together."

Ren once stared at Zarisma City, feeling as well as possible some existences that he thought were quite dangerous. After that, he continued the words that had stopped before.

"We will go to the sky of Zarisma City. I'll ride the Avrogan, while Nirlayn and Arystina, you'll ride the Indacrus."

Whether it was Nirlayn, or Arystina, the two women actually wanted to voice their grievances, but ..given the current situation and condition, they buried deeply the grievances in their hearts.

"We understand," replied Nirlayn as a representative.

The confirmation immediately made Ren smile proudly, then he climbed onto Avrogan's back without saying anything more. With a hand signal, Avrogan and Indacrus flew into the sky of Zarisma City.

When boarding the Avrogan, Ren had little time to thoroughly inspect the City of Zarisma. He activated the perception of which expanded to encompass the entire city.

"One, two, three, and four?"

Four unidentified individuals who have dangerous potential have been confirmed to exist. Later, Ren also discovers that Rusava, Rakuza, and Raytsa are still in good condition.

But as a welcome came, the perception of where it was forced to be stopped for a while. After all, Ren never expected that the welcome given by them would be a giant wind arrow wrapped by the surrounding water.

Ren concentrated his mana, and concentrated on casting magic capable of warding off the warm welcome.

"[<>] mock version of course."
