DN : [252] Hatred and Enemies!
🕑 Added 2024-07-21 16:00:02 +0000 UTCThis sudden change quickly caught everyone's attention.
Not far away, within a magical formation resembling an altar, Valper Galilei laughed maniacally, his face filled with excitement.
In front of him, the original five Holy Swords had disappeared, replaced by a single new Holy Sword. Using alchemical magic, he had reforged and fused the five Holy Swords into one. Though it still lacked two fragments to match the true Holy Sword, it was already an alchemical masterpiece.
"Valper Galilei!"
In the crowd, Yuuto Kiba's killing intent became nearly uncontrollable upon seeing Valper Galilei.
The chilling aura could freeze a person's soul, especially as he watched the joy and excitement on Valper Galilei's face, making his hatred grow even more intense.
However, the highest-ranking person here was August, and Yuuto Kiba was merely a servant.
Kiba looked at August, his eyes filled with both hatred and pleading. Facing his mortal enemy, he wanted to personally send him to hell, a fate even a thousand deaths couldn't repay.
"Go."
"Thank you, Lord August."
With those words, Kiba rushed toward Valper Galilei.
"Hmm? Who are you?" Valper Galilei was startled to see Kiba charging at him with clear murderous intent.
Although Valper had once been a church leader with a brilliant mind and powerful alchemical skills, he had little combat ability. Simply put, he was a researcher, not a fighter.
"I am your nemesis, crawling out of hell to exact my revenge."
The bone-chilling killing intent made Valper Galilei tremble with fear. This guy would definitely kill him.
"Freed!"
"At your service, old man."
Freed, who had been barely containing himself, grabbed the new Holy Sword from the magical formation and slashed at Kiba.
Clang!
The Holy Sword and Kiba's demonic sword clashed, halting Kiba's advance.
Looking at the crazed man before him, Kiba didn't recognize him. But since he was blocking his revenge, he was now an enemy.
"Trash, who gave you permission to look at me with those eyes? You filthy devil."
"Die, Sword Birth!"
With Kiba's command, numerous demonic swords emerged from the ground, including under Freed's feet.
Swish!
Freed leaped into the air, avoiding the sudden attack from below.
"Haha, filthy devil, let me show you the power of a Holy Sword."
Boom!
Freed swung the Holy Sword, unleashing an incredible destructive force that instantly cleared all the demonic swords around him.
This was the power of the Excalibur of Destruction, unparalleled in its destructive capability.
"Die, you worthless devil!"
The Holy Sword in Freed's hand transformed and aimed straight for Kiba's chest.
Bang!
At the critical moment, Kiba drew a demonic sword to block the attack, but he was still sent flying.
The tremendous force made Kiba feel a surge of blood, and a sweet taste filled his mouth. The attack had inflicted significant damage.
"What? Is that all you've got, filthy devil?"
Freed, holding the Holy Sword, had a crazed look on his face, while Valper Galilei behind him was brimming with excitement.
He had succeeded. This new Holy Sword was his greatest creation, combining the powers of five Holy Swords. It was immensely powerful.
"Go to hell, madman."
Just as Freed was laughing maniacally, a shard of a demonic sword sliced across his chest from below.
The attack missed its mark, inflicting only a severe but non-lethal wound.
"Damn it! You filthy devil."
"Freed, get out of the way!"
"What are you saying, old ma-"
Before Freed could finish his sentence, his voice was abruptly cut off. He looked down to see his own body and, behind him, Yuuto Kiba stood with a cold, emotionless expression.
This was a life-and-death battle, and Kiba wouldn't miss any opportunity, be it a trick or a sneak attack. As long as he could kill his enemy, the method didn't matter.
In the distance, Rias watched in shock as Kiba decapitated someone from behind. She couldn't believe her eyes.
Was this still the gentle and chivalrous Yuuto Kiba she knew?
With a thud, Freed's lifeless body hit the ground. Kiba's gaze turned to Valper Galilei, radiating a chilling, murderous aura.
"Don't come any closer!"
Valper Galilei collapsed to the ground in fear. Despite his madness, he still feared death.
"Valper Galilei, you never thought this day would come when you did those terrible things."
"You were merely a lucky escapee, an experimental subject. Stop with your grandstanding."
"An experimental subject?"
"Your bodies contained factors suitable for Holy Swords but couldn't manifest their full potential. So we concluded that we needed to extract those factors from you and crystallize them. This was our initial success!"
At this, the fear on Valper's face vanished, replaced by a maniacal expression.
Most scientists and researchers were somewhat obsessive and mad because research itself involved breaking norms and exploring the unknown. Without this drive, there would be no breakthroughs.
"I have just one question: why did you kill us, all of us?"
Kiba nearly screamed this question. To him, the horrors of the past felt like they had happened only yesterday.
"You were materials for a secret project. Once the materials were used up, they were discarded. If it weren't for that accident, if I could have continued my research, I wouldn't be in this situation now."
"You sick monster, you never regret."
With a swift motion, Kiba drove his demonic sword through Valper Galilei's chest.
But it wasn't over. More demonic swords emerged from the ground, skewering Valper into a gruesome pincushion.
In his final moments, Valper Galilei showed no sign of regret, only his mad obsession.
