Chapter 137: The Sky-High Hatred
🕑 Added 2025-03-03 13:35:28 +0000 UTC"Xenovia, what should we do now?"
Seeing Blake’s vigorous and resolute actions, Irina hesitated and asked Xenovia.
Blake was a member of the Devils after all, and she was afraid of being deceived.
"Follow him. My intuition tells me that this news is credible."
Hearing this, Xenovia’s eyes flickered for a moment, and then she rushed out with Irina.
...........
On a remote road, aside from the flashing lights and the two people confronting each other, there was no one else, making it seem very strange.
However, this was normal. After all, a barrier to repel people was set up not far away.
Except for those with extraordinary power, ordinary humans would unconsciously avoid this place.
This was a special warlock barrier meant to facilitate battles between extraordinary beings.
And now, a young man with blonde hair, holding a black magic sword, was staring at a young man with ordinary light gray short hair not far away.
From the torn cuts on his clothes, it was obvious that they had been fighting for a while.
"You really are chasing me. You’re a damn Devil, but you’re chasing me, who has the Holy Sword of Excalibur. Is there something wrong with your head?"
Staring at Kiba with numbing eyes, the light gray-haired young man said angrily.
Since he accidentally killed an ordinary person with the Holy Sword three days ago, he was seen by this damn Devil. The guy had been following him ever since like he was the murderer of his father, constantly searching for his whereabouts. It was really annoying.
If it weren't for the critical moment in his plan, he would’ve killed this guy by now.
"Go to hell!"
However, despite the young man's words, Yuto Kiba ignored him and simply said this hoarsely before rushing over with his magic sword.
Seeing this, the light gray-haired young man scowled and also raised his holy sword to clash with Yuto Kiba’s attack.
In an instant, the holy sword and the magic sword collided, producing dazzling sparks in the dark sky.
Obviously, their strengths were similar, and neither of them could gain the upper hand.
However, despite their similar strength, this battle was very disadvantageous for Yuto Kiba. After all, the holy sword was poison to Devils, and even a touch could severely injure him.
[Trample, trample, trample!]
At this moment, a series of heavy footsteps came, startling the young man with light gray hair and making him pause.
In this brief moment of hesitation, Yuto Kiba, with cold eyes, seized the opportunity and thrust his magic sword toward the young man’s heart without hesitation.
[Puff————!]
With a sickening sound of cutting flesh, Kiba’s sword brushed past the light gray-haired young man's armpit, taking a large chunk of flesh with it.
"Damn it!"
The intense pain contorted the light gray-haired young man’s face. However, he finally chose to retreat, bursting away with strange speed in an instant, putting some distance between them.
In fact, if he wanted to, he could’ve died with Kiba. But sadly, he didn’t have the courage to do so.
"You’re lucky today. I’ll definitely kill you next time!"
After saying that, the light gray-haired young man took something from his pocket and threw it at Kiba.
This startled Kiba, who dodged to the side.
After a smaller explosion sounded, thick smoke instantly filled the air, obscuring Kiba’s sight.
When Kiba used the Sword of Wind to blow the smoke away, the pale gray-haired young man was nowhere to be seen. He had obviously escaped.
"Kiba, I finally found you."
Just as Yuto Kiba was about to pursue him again with a gloomy expression, a familiar voice made him pause, and he turned his body with a complicated look on his face.
There, Blake, holding Kanna, walked over leisurely.
"Do you have something to say to me?"
Kiba was silent for a moment, then spoke in a hoarse tone.
"Your attitude is really cold."
Hearing this, Blake couldn’t help but sigh.
"But for you, it’s good enough that you don’t hold any resentment against me."
"Has buchou told you?"
Kiba asked with a complicated expression.
"Well. Come back. Don’t deal with everything alone. We’re all your friends."
Blake gently touched Kiba’s shoulder and said in a deep voice.
"........"
Hearing this, Kiba Yuto fell silent, and the atmosphere once again became heavy.
At that moment, two more footsteps were heard, causing Kiba Yuto’s eyes to narrow, and a resentful expression to form. The magic power in his hand flickered as another magic sword materialized.
Having already encountered a holy sword and fought with it, Kiba could clearly sense that the newcomers were holding holy swords!
"Blake, the holy sword you mentioned..."
"Huh?!"
As the two female voices sounded, Xenovia and Irina, who had arrived a step later, appeared in the sight of the two. However, before the two women could finish speaking, they noticed Kiba Yuto holding a magic sword and exuding a terrifying murderous aura. Both were shocked and quickly drew their own holy swords.
"Holy Sword!!!"
Staring at the holy swords in Xenovia and Irina’s hands, Kiba Yuto’s handsome face twisted into a snarl.
"Kiba, they are not enemies for now. If you attack, it will cause a lot of trouble and put Rias in danger."
Seeing Kiba Yuto’s hostile expression, Blake raised an eyebrow and stepped in front of him. He looked at Kiba with his crystal-blue eyes and said seriously.
".....!"
Hearing this, Kiba froze for a moment, and a strong internal struggle appeared in his eyes. Finally, he looked up at Blake.
"Can you explain what’s going on? Why are you with people from the Church?"
Kiba asked in a hoarse voice. From this, it was clear that his mind had become much clearer.
"Blake, I also want to know what’s going on. It seems your companions hate us very much and want to kill us right here."
Xenovia and Irina also looked at Kiba with solemn eyes and asked in a deep voice. They could see that Kiba’s mental state was on the verge of madness.
This kind of person, even if he were just an ordinary human, would be an extremely dangerous existence. Not to mention being a Devil with such powerful abilities.
"You can explain, but put away the sword first. This is not the time to discuss things."
Paying attention to the reactions of the three people, Blake spoke with authority.
