Chapter 815 - 815
Silver chains, like agile serpents, extended from magic circles in all directions, aiming to bind Eiji's limbs.Sword light shimmered like moonlight.
Amid a series of metallic clangs, the chains were all deflected, thrown into disarray and rendered uncontrollable.
The young girl had raven-black hair that reached her waist. Though her face was childish, her eyes brimmed with such fierce intensity that her presence felt overwhelmingly oppressive.
At least in Eiji's eyes, her figure was undeniably intimidating!
"The Witch of the Void... Why is she here?"
Eiji was utterly bewildered.
Why had Natsuki suddenly shown up out of nowhere?
"Don't look down on me! Did you think I wouldn't notice such a huge commotion?"
Natsuki Kouno snorted coldly, tightening her grip on the black lace-covered folding fan in her hand.
"Oh, right!"
Eiji smacked his forehead.
Earlier, he had wanted to test just how powerful a True Ancestor's familiars were, so he deliberately clashed energy blasts with Giada. The resulting collision between the blue-white lightning sphere and the sacred explosion had been so loud it echoed across the entire Eastern Island, and the brilliant light had captured the attention of everyone on the island.
Natsuki, being especially skilled in spatial manipulation, had arrived first.
"Thanks to you, I've had nothing but bad luck lately! Don't think you can easily escape from me!"
Natsuki Kouno shouted sharply, her actions swift and decisive.
With a wave of her fan, chains glowing within the magic circles—mysterious and magnificent like purple roses—rippled through the void. Over a dozen chains sealed off every possible escape route.
Having lived with Natsuki for so long, Eiji was well aware of her abilities.
If he got caught by those chains, it would be disastrous.
Though this thought crossed his mind, Eiji released his grip on his sword.
Instead, he simply reached out, grabbing the chains one by one, and swiftly tied them into knots with a series of crisp clatters.
The entire motion was completed in an instant. By the time the chains were knotted, Natsuki Kouno had only just registered what happened, her scalp tingling and her small face instinctively tightening.
Such incredible speed!
Suddenly, her vision blurred!
The armored figure vanished from before her eyes.
A intense sense of crisis surged within her. Her vast combat experience instinctively flagged this as an unimaginably powerful foe. Without hesitation, she summoned her trump card!
"Rinne Ou!"
In an instant, the air distorted.
A golden, illusory figure materialized like a mirage in front of Natsuki Kouno.
"Boom!"
The golden figure threw a punch, shattering the atmosphere ahead as if even space itself couldn't withstand its force. Despite its slender build, it gave off the terrifying impression of a mountain bearing down.
"Kaboom!"
Abruptly, as if the heavens had collapsed and the earth split, the entire cruise ship rocked violently!
The golden phantom met the armored figure's punch head-on. The violent impact instantly rippled outward, sending chaotic gusts of air swirling in all directions.
"This contracted demon is this strong?"
Eiji was deeply astonished.
The slender figure, indistinguishable from a woman, delivered a punch that even he found oppressive. Logically speaking, while he wasn't particularly strength-oriented, he was still a Level 7 from DanMachi and someone who had broken through his limits!
In the world of Strike the Blood, few specialized in physical prowess. Even the True Ancestors of vampires couldn't match Eiji's physical strength.
For this demon to rival him was simply unbelievable!
Could it even compete with a True Ancestor's Beast Vassal?
No wonder Natsuki-chan had earned such a fearsome reputation!
But that was all.
The moment Eiji realized he was at a disadvantage in raw power, his entire body transformed into water. The golden phantom's punch landed like striking cotton, as Eiji employed an advanced force-redirection technique to send the impact back.
As the cruise ship rocked, the golden phantom was sent flying.
Its body, constructed from mechanical gears and various drive mechanisms, shattered with a series of cracking sounds, nearly disintegrating on the spot.
"Rin'ō?!"
Natsuki Kōjō's pupils contracted.
When it came to frontal clashes, Natsuki Kōjō had never feared anyone—because her contracted demon possessed terrifying power capable of confronting a True Ancestor's Beast Vassal head-on!
And yet it was sent flying in a single blow?
What a joke!
In the blink of an eye.
Before she could react, the armored figure had already appeared before her, crossing the distance between them without a sound, like a ghost.
The armored figure threw a punch.
Natsuki Kōjō didn't even flinch.
"Boom!"
After the tremendous noise, sunlight streamed in, gradually dispelling the darkness.
"..."
Natsuki Kōjō glanced at the fist beside her.
It was mere centimeters from her head—any closer, and her skull would have been shattered like a watermelon.
At the same time, the armored figure's inscribed eye sockets stared quietly at her.
Giada had been watching from the sidelines, her expression utterly composed.
Seeing this, she even chuckled.
"Oh? Is this what they call a kabedon these days?"
Kabedon?
Natsuki Kōjō glanced sideways behind her, her eye twitching.
The entire wall was gone.
And you call this a kabedon?
Since when does kabedon look like this?
But why didn't this guy attack me?
"Hmph, a real man doesn't fight women!"
The armored figure sneered.
Giada: ()
Look at my severed arm, at this massive gash across my chest—say that again to my face!
With those words, the armored figure brushed past Natsuki Kōjō, leaped through the hole it had created, and plunged into the sea with a splash, sending water flying everywhere.
Filipino contestants would nod in approval!
"Don't run!"
Natsuki Kōjō froze for a moment before snapping back to reality, rushing to the edge of the hole.
"Don't bother chasing. You're no match for him anyway."
Giada finally stepped forward, blocking Natsuki Kōjō's attempt to pursue.
"I just let my guard down for a second!"
Natsuki Kōjō turned around, her displeased gaze fixed squarely on the Third True Ancestor, without a trace of fear.
"Perhaps. But seeing me like this, do you still think it doesn't matter?"
Giada chuckled softly.
Natsuki Kōjō fell silent.
One arm severed, a deep gash running from shoulder to waist—so deep her organs were visible. An ordinary person would be dead by now. Only a True Ancestor could survive, regenerating rapidly even in this state.
She looked utterly disheveled.
"Was this the result of fighting him?"
Natsuki Kōjō furrowed her brows, her expression full of disbelief.
"What else could it be?"
Giada shrugged nonchalantly.
"You're surprisingly carefree, Third True Ancestor? Even though you lost to someone of unknown origins."
Nangong Nayue stared at her with a suspicious expression.
"Even if the other two True Ancestors had come, the outcome wouldn't have been much better for them. In that case, why should I feel ashamed?"
Gada laughed with complete nonchalance.
If Koyomi Shizuma merely commanded respect from the True Ancestors, then this armored man made them fear him!
From their brief exchange just now, Gada had come to understand this reality.
The power he possessed was utterly overwhelming even for True Ancestors.
