They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 109: Trading Two Demon King Sisters for Some Relics

Dan Lei killed Rena Lei, locked her soul in his hand, and turned to Hyoudou Issei again.

At this moment, Hyoudou Issei was almost scared to death, after all, he had watched as Dan Lei extracted the soul from Rena Rei's body.

So, when Dan Lei faced him again, Hyoudou Issei trembled all over and collapsed to the ground, saying...

"Brother, you promised me you'd save my life."

Dan Lei looked at this still immature harem king, nodded, and replied.

"Don't worry, you won't die. Go to sleep, and everything will be over when you wake up."

After saying that, Dan Lei used hypnotic magic to put Hyoudou Issei to sleep.

The next step was simple: first, seal the demon contract in Hyoudou Issei's pants pocket to prevent Rias Gremory, who had already set her sights on Hyoudou Issei, from interfering halfway through the ritual.

Then, he took Hyoudou Issei to a nearby mountain to find a point where spiritual veins converged.

Koo Town isn't very big, after all, it's a small town in Kanagawa Prefecture, which is part of Tokyo.

To put it simply, Tokyo's Kanagawa Prefecture covers an area of ​​2415.86 square kilometers, which is less than half the size of Shanghai's 6340.5 square kilometers.

So when Dan Lei flew into the sky, he saw the mountains where the main characters from the original work were training, and then he directly used the Cloud Chanting Technique to fly over there with Hyoudou Issei.

After finding the convergence point of the spiritual veins, Dan Lei followed the usual routine: he used earth magic to dig an underground cave, then set up a simple workshop and laid out a composite magic array consisting of a vein absorption array and a displacement magic array.

Afterwards, place Hyoudou Issei in the center of the magic circle and inject magic power into his left arm, and the Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlet will appear.

Subsequently, Dan Lei activated White Dragon Mode, imbuing the artifact with the power of his memory destiny. He placed his hand on the jade gauntlet and began to infuse the artifact with the power of his memory destiny.

The power of memory destiny is a power that does not exist in this world, so no matter how many safeguards the angel god set when creating the artifact, there is no way to protect against this power.

Moreover, the energy of destiny is definitely higher in level than the magic and divine power of this world, so Dan Lei did not feel much of an obstacle, and the energy of destiny smoothly seeped into the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlet.

As the energy of his memories and destiny seeped in, Dan Lei's consciousness naturally entered the artifact as well.

Inside the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlet, Dan Lei first sensed many fragments of spirit. However, these fragments were all negative emotions such as hatred and anger, and had no value to Dan Lei.

Fortunately, the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlets were not activated at this time, and these mental fragments filled with negative feelings remained dormant.

The area where the spiritual fragments gather is the true core of the artifact, the source of the power and soul of the Crimson Dragon Emperor Draig.

At this moment, Draig's soul was also asleep, and Danlei saw a huge red Western dragon curled up and sleeping in the dark space.

However, the slumber of Draig's soul also makes it easier for Danlei to carry out subsequent operations.

The power of memory and destiny transformed into chains, slowly binding the sleeping Draig and completing his positioning.

Subsequently, Danlei withdrew his consciousness from the artifact and placed Rena Lei's soul into the magic circle.

Immediately afterwards, Dan Lei activated the Earth Vein Absorption Array to begin extracting energy from the earth veins.

Since one of the targets of the replacement is Draig's soul, and it is inside the artifact, even if the path of destiny has been opened by the memories, it does not resist. To replace it, a massive amount of magic power is still required.

Therefore, this time the ley line extraction array caused a great stir, with a massive amount of ley line magic being extracted. Not only in Kuoh Town, but probably all the mysterious forces in Tokyo felt it.

However, they realized the problem was too late to react; as soon as the magic arrived, the substitution spell was activated immediately.

Renare vanished instantly from the magic circle, transforming into a colossal dragon.

Also called the Drag Soul, it is in a soul state and does not involve physical collisions; otherwise, its enormous size would have directly collapsed the relatively narrow cavern of Danlei.

But the next second, as Dan Lei activated the Spirit Binding and Commanding state, he shouted "Come!"

The sleeping Draig soul, like a captured Pokémon, was absorbed into Danlei and then transformed into a spirit that condensed behind Danlei.

Unlike breeding insects, Draig is a standard intelligent being, so when Danlei's soul had just marked it when it was captured, it was awakened.

Then, Draig's spirit immediately let out a dragon roar behind Danlei.

However, this is not an attack on Dan Lei, but rather a behavior similar to a human being woken up by ZTO Express while sleeping and yawning.

Then, Draig's spirit opened its eyes.

Clearly, Draig, who had just awakened, was completely unaware of his current state and still thought he was inside the artifact, so he said...

"Huh, this time the host is actually a dragon descendant with dragon blood."

And, kid, which dragon vein are you from?
Although the bloodline in your body is thin, it is exceptionally ancient and pure... Wait, why does it feel even purer than mine?

"You wouldn't happen to be a descendant of that great red bloodline, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei declared that he possessed the bloodline of an immortal dragon, and that even the True Crimson Dragon God Emperor was not worthy to carry his shoes.

Since Draig was already his own spirit, and his life and death were in his own hands, Danlei didn't hold back and answered directly.

"My name is Dan Lei, and the bloodline within me is that of the ancestor of all dragons in the universe. The True Crimson Dragon God Emperor has no right to challenge it."

After saying that, Danlei shared the information about the Immortal Dragon in his mind with Draig.

After reading it, Draig remained silent for a long time before speaking.
"Dan Lei, I find it hard to believe the information you shared. After all, I've never even heard of the Immortal Dragon."

Furthermore, if your bloodline is truly so noble, how could a god bestow a divine artifact upon a mortal?

However, as soon as Drag finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. How could he see the magic circles on the walls and the ground? And why was there a person lying on the ground wearing the artifact gauntlets? He was no longer inside the artifact!
So, Draig said, his tone filled with uncertainty.
"I wasn't inside the artifact, so you released me and I'm free?"

However, after Draig finished speaking, he saw Danlei shake his head and say...
"In principle, you have no freedom. After I remove your soul from the artifact, it will be directly transformed into my soul. From now on, your life will belong to me, and you must obey my orders."

However, if you follow me, you will see a wider world and be able to fly in the sky again.

Besides, I'm not used to people calling me master, you can just call me by my name.

"Oh, right, you have a colleague too, let's get to know each other." After saying that, Dan Lei released Skarakabaz's spirit and had it empower him with the power of a messenger.

Drage was initially dissatisfied with Danlei's enslavement, but the moment Skarakkabaz's spirit appeared, it instantly felt the immense gap between them.

Although Danlei cannot fully unleash the power of Skarakkabaz's spirit in his normal state, Draig is unaware of this.

All Draig knew was that the pressure emanating from the insect opposite him was enough to overwhelm him. He had never even heard of such a terrifying insect before.

So Drag decided to back down, because it could see that Danlei was not weak (his fate did not possess him, and his magic power alone was at the level of a top-tier demon). With this insect, even gods and demon kings would have to grovel at his feet, so it was not shameful for it.

As the master of the Drag Soul, Dan Lei could sense its spirit. Seeing that its resistance had greatly decreased, Dan Lei was relieved. It seemed that when using its power later, he wouldn't need to forcibly shut down its intelligence and use it as a tool.

Therefore, Dan Lei shifted his attention to the artifact in Hyoudou Issei's left hand.

Having lost Draig's soul and replaced it with the soul of a two-winged fallen angel, the Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlets instantly degraded from God-Slaying Gear, and even the dragon claw form disappeared, transforming into a gauntlet form with a fallen angel wing icon.

Although this thing can still be considered a divine artifact, its power at this point is probably not much different from that of an ordinary dragon hand, and its ability has changed to allow the host to use the power of light.

Moreover, just as Dan Lei was inspecting Hyoudou Issei's artifact, he sensed two groups of people arriving above the workshop and starting a fight.

At this moment, Draig spoke in unison with Danlei.

"Danlei, the demons and fallen angels are fighting up there. There are a lot of demons, and they are of a high level. The fallen angels probably won't be able to hold out for long. Should I go out and stop them?"

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei knew that the demons and fallen angels from Kuoh Town were the ones who were closest to the battlefield and would naturally be among the first to arrive.

However, now that Renare is dead, the Fallen Angels should only have two small soldiers on the flanks.

Judging from the numbers, all the demons have come; not only Rias Gremory and her familiars, but also Sona Shide has brought her familiars.

As for why the two sides were able to fight, it's highly likely that the demons wanted to clear the area.

Drag said it would go out and stop it, and Danlei guessed it had just been itching to get free, so he agreed.

"Okay, I'll send this human home first. Before I get back, don't let any of them escape. You can kill the fallen angels directly, but don't seriously injure or kill the demons."

"Up there are the current Demon King Lucifer and the sister of Demon King Leviathan. I'm planning to trade them for something."

Upon hearing that this was all he asked for, Draig immediately agreed without hesitation.
"Oh, don't worry, Danlei. Although I've lost my real claws and teeth, I still have at least 80% of my peak strength. Even if Demon King Lucifer and Demon King Leviathan come in person, I won't be afraid. I will definitely leave these juniors alive as you requested."

Dan Lei only listened to what Draig said. The current Demon King Leviathan was alright, but Seraphim Siddi was a super Demon King level, and he really couldn't beat Draig.

However, once the current Demon King Lucifer Sazex Gremory unleashes his true form, "Destruction Mode," he becomes a Transcendent-level being on par with Draig. Unless he regains his original abilities, he is absolutely no match for him.

However, Sazex had no reason to come here now. Draig's resurrection required someone to inform him first, and no matter how much he cared about his sister, he couldn't keep sending people to monitor Rias indefinitely.

Moreover, even if Sazex arrives, Draig still has the ability to run away from him.

So, Dan Lei grabbed Hyoudou Issei and used the displacement magic circle under his feet to teleport the two of them back to Kuoh Town. Then, through his memories, he found his home and put him back on the bed, thus fulfilling his promise to him.

The whole process only took about five minutes, and then Danlei flew back to the mountains.

Upon returning, Danlei saw Drag's enormous body staring at a group of people like a sheepdog.

No, to be precise, it was looking at a group of demons.

Drag had fulfilled Danlei's request. Although Rias and Sona's familiars were lying on the ground, several of them seriously injured, they were all still breathing.

Rias and Sona themselves showed mercy; although they were both tattered and their clothes were torn to the point of being revealing, they were still able to stand.

After landing, Danlei looked at the injured people scattered on the ground and immediately complained to Draig.
“I told you not to seriously injure them. I still need to treat them in this condition, otherwise they can’t even move.”

Faced with Danlei's complaints, Draig said somewhat helplessly.

"Dan Lei, there's nothing I can do. A few of them are too weak. They're at the level of intermediate demons. I could seriously injure them just by stomping on the floor."

Fortunately, Danlei didn't intend to really blame Drag, but instead spoke to Rias and Sona.
"Rias Gremory, Sona Sid, why have you trespassed on my territory? I'll give you a chance to explain."

Upon hearing this, Rias and Sona instinctively wanted to say that Kuoh Town was their territory, but looking at Draig behind Danlei, they couldn't bring themselves to say it.

Finally, Sona regained her composure, realizing that she couldn't act rashly now. During the battle, Draig had already revealed his identity, and she knew that the Crimson Dragon Emperor wasn't afraid of their powerful backers.

Moreover, this suddenly appearing man could speak to the Crimson Dragon Emperor on equal terms, and his dragon aura was so strong. He couldn't gauge the man's true strength (the two were currently only at the upper-level demon level), so he might be someone the man couldn't afford to offend. Therefore, he said...
"Sorry, we didn't know this was your and the Crimson Dragon Emperor's territory."

We simply sensed an abnormal draining of the earth's ley lines here, so we came to check it out. It was entirely unintentional that we disturbed you both.

Seeing this, Dan Lei used his healing skills again, healing all the external injuries of Rias and the people behind Sona, and then said...
“Fighting directly on my territory, even unintentionally, must be punished, otherwise anyone can set foot on my land.”

However, considering that you are most likely truly unintentional, I can release your family members.

Tell your families to report back to the houses of Gremory and Sidi. I have detained you two. To release them, bring treasure in exchange.

"By the way, I'm not good at taking care of people. For you two young ladies, you can leave at most one of your family members behind to look after you."

Danlei's demand for treasures in exchange for people is actually a ploy to get two artifacts back.

This is a world where mythology has not faded, so there is absolutely no need to randomly summon heroes to replenish manpower and combat strength.

The Gremory and Sidi families are incredibly wealthy; acquiring one or two legendary items wouldn't be difficult for them.

Rias and Sona breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Danlei had healed their familiars and that the man in front of them only wanted money. It seemed that at least their familiars' lives had been saved.

As for the man in front of them wanting to detain them, Rias and Sona knew they couldn't refuse, so Rias said...
"Sure, but could I say a few words to my family?"

Also, may I ask your name?

Danlei did not refuse Rias's request and replied...
“My name is Danlei. You can give your family members a few words of advice, but don’t take too long. Dreig’s patience is not very good.”
