Chapter 132.1: He Who Devours The Light Eater

BGM: Into The Darkness

◆Dark Knight; Kuroki

Both Gypseal and Apophis troops were standing in front of each other in the desert, shrouded by dark clouds.

Cheers rose from Gypseal’s side, especially from Prince Harsesh. It was all because the Goddess of Victory, Rena, had co.

Even so of the Evil Gods from the other side raised a cheer. That’s how popular Rena was.

The man Rena chooses to love would keep winning in life forever. That was a rumor spread among the male Gods, who were all of course trying their best to make her their own.

Her coming here gave us a chance to turn the tables.

Just what I expect from the Goddess of Victory.

「HOW DARE YOU APPEAR BEFORE , RENA!! THE GRANDDAUGHTER OF THAT B*TCH MINA WHO SEDUCED OUR FATHER!! THE DAUGHTER OF LFINA WHO TRICKED MODES!! WHO ARE YOU GOING TO SEDUCE THIS TI?!!」

Diadona shouted with an enraged look on her face.

From Diadona’s perspective, Rena’s bloodline seed to be the most detestable one. And even though she didn’t look at , the wrath contained within her eyes sent a chill down my spine.

「Seduce? What are you talking about?」

I felt Rena’s line of sight from my side.

Did she just look at ?

Nevertheless, Rena was just as amazing as usual. She was completely unperturbed even after looking straight into Diadona’s eyes while protecting us from the evil eyes with her shield. She was also quite nonchalant on top of that.

Her dignified eyes kept looking forward no matter what appeared before her. That might be part of her charm.

「Sorry Rena that you had to co to this place.」

Reiji apologized to Rena. He seed to be quite vexed by this situation.

「Save your apology for later, Reiji!! Just focus on your recovery for now! Ishtar-sama, Totona!! I’ll intercept their attacks!! Assist !! O shining shield of light, beco a wall that protects us!!」

Rena shouted as she raised her shield,, several giant magic shields appeared afterwards.

Rena’s shield was an enchanted shield made from the toughest adamant, it had the ability to raise the effect of Rena’s defensive magic.

「Okay, Rena-chan!!」

「Can’t be helped I guess.」

Both Ishtar and Totona supplied their magical power to Rena.

The composite magic shields beca even tougher due to the combination of the three Goddesses’ power, even if one was destroyed, another magic shield would replace it.

This should be enough to buy us so ti.

「RENAAAAAA!! YOU FILTHY B*TCHHHHH!!」

That Serpent Queen Diadona shouted angrily.

That was natural, none of her attacks could reach us after all.

「I’ll say this just once, these shields won’t hold out for too long. Think of a counterasure during that ti.」

Though Rena spoke with a rather nonchalant voice, the content was rather distressful.

Totona and Ishtar had the sa opinion too.

Well, they were creating these huge defensive magic shields after all, it was only natural for their magical power to not last for too long.

Thus, I had to quickly think of a plan to turn the tables.

A wave of darkness sweeped at us from Eclipse, who flew in the sky. Anyone who received that wave of darkness would lose their strength.

Though the wave corroded Rena’s magic shield too, that shield had been enchanted by Rena, making it many tis stronger than normal magic shields.

I wanted to withdraw but the other party wouldn’t let us off that easily.

We’re in a real pinch right now.

「Do you have a plan, Kuroki?」

Totona asked anxiously.

「I’ll take Eclipse and make him my own.」

I looked up to the sky.

Eclipse, the superior spirit of darkness, hadn’t exhibited his full potential since he used part of his power to suppress Bennu, who was summoned by Reiji.

But, that was only a matter of ti.

Eclipse, the one who hailed as the light eater was the natural enemy of the spirit of light. Even the light of the superior spirit Bennu was slowly being devoured by him.

It was only a matter of ti before Bennu was completely devoured by Eclipse.

When that happens, Eclipse would use his full power to attack us.

「Are you trying to snatch the spirit under the enemy’s control? That’s almost impossible you know?」

Rena looked at .

Naturally, I knew that it was a tough challenge.

This was sothing that I learnt from Loughas’ lesson about spirit manipulation.

One needs a special power to be able to use the spirits.

And I didn’t seem to have that kind of talent since I couldn’t even use the power of a weak, low rank spirit.

And yet, here I am, trying to get the power of a superior spirit.

It was nothing but a suicidal act.

I couldn’t even use my draconic power.

I had to confront the spirit on my own.

And the one dominated by the enemy nonetheless.

The odds were stacked against .

But, I had to succeed no matter what.

「Rena, Kuroki can do it. Kuroki is strong. Trust him.」

Said Totona while assisting Rena with magic.

Totona had a strong sense of trust in .

I was really happy that she trusted so much. And yet, for so reason, I felt so sort of a black aura from Rena the mont she heard Totona’s remark.

「Fufufu. I never said that I didn’t trust him though… And Totona, from the way you speak, it seems you get along really well with him. What happened during the ti you were together, I wonder?」

Said Rena with a smile on her face.

But, I knew that she was pissed off.

「There’s no need for to answer that. getting along with Kuroki has nothing to do with you Rena.」

Totona blatantly ignored Rena’s question.

Rena’s expression right at this mont was sothing that I had never seen before.

I quickly turned around from Rena.

The rage of a beauty was enough to send a chill running down my spine.

「YOU! ARE! WRONG! TOTONA!!! IT-HAS-SOTHING-TO-DO-WITH-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!」

Rena spoke with a strongly emphasized voice.

Crap. We’re done for if Rena and Totona start a quarrel now.

And yet, I instinctively realized that trying to stop them was akin to pouring gasoline into a huge fla.

I an, the reason for their quarrel was obviously… .

「Calm down, Rena-san! I know that you’re annoyed since the Dark Knight who defeated your beloved Reiji is getting along with Totona-chan!! Focus on our defense for now!!」

But then, Ishtar stopped the quarrel between Rena and Totona.

「Urgh!! If even Ishtar-sama says sothing like that, I guess I can’t deny that!! I understand!! Let’s save our quarrel for later, Totona!!」

From Rena’s tone, I knew that she was pissed off right now.

And for so reason, my stomach was hurting.

I knew that I was in for huge trouble once this battle was over.

Well, if we could win against our enemies, that is.

I looked up at Eclipse.

Let’s focus on Eclipse for now.

「I’ll enter Eclipse!! Make a hole in the shield for !!」

「Roger that!!」

I invoked flight magic.

I flew out of the shield from the hole created by Rena, straight toward Eclipse.

「WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING, DARK KNIGHT?!! ARE YOU INSANE?!!」

Zarxis roared.

I knew this was a suicidal attempt. But I had to do this.

I looked at the weakened Bennu.

Bennu, the superior spirit of light, was summoned by Reiji.

Reiji has a superior spirit of light.

Maybe he tried to get another weapon to defeat .

aning that Reiji is now even stronger than before.

I might be outstripped as the strongest by him.

That fact alone scared so much.

Since that was the case, I had to do my best to beco even stronger too.

I got my current happiness, and Kuna because I had won.

I’m really afraid that not just Kuna, but everyone, would stop looking at if I lost.

No one would love a loser. The weak are the prey for the strong.

And the loser would lose everything.

That was the miserable ending that happened to before.

Thus I refuse to end like that again, ever.

I refuse to lose my adorable Kuna!!

That’s why I had to get Eclipse.

I have to make that superior spirit mine!!

If Reiji could do it, then there is no reason for to fail to do the sa!!
