I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Since the transmutation circle couldn't be stopped, Fujii Ren could only do his best to grow stronger and, as his senior instructed, eliminate the guys who would benefit from the transmutation circle after it was completed.

But at that moment, Fujii Ren, who had just become a superhero, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he sensed an ominous aura approaching.

"Brother, this sushi restaurant looks very nice. May I try it?"

"Tsk, these modern bastards always cut corners; even the food isn't as pure as it used to be."

Two voices: one a loud, gentle female voice, and the other a volatile male voice that sounded like that of a thug.

The things that Superman's senses detected moved closer to the sushi restaurant entrance, following the sounds they made.

With goosebumps rising, Fujii Ren couldn't help but look in the direction of the gaze. There was a young man and a young woman with waxy white hair that was subtly different from Skadi's.

The girl was dressed in a beautiful outfit, with her long, beautiful hair tied back with a strange prop. Her dignified and polite demeanor and petite figure made her look very cute.

However, it gave Fujii Ren a sense of horror and unease, as if beneath that beautiful and cute exterior lay a calamity unlike Mary's.

As for the other white-haired youth, he almost made Fujii Ren stand up and assume a defensive stance.

Although only her hair styled up and she wasn't wearing a military uniform, Fujii Ren would never forget her face. Wasn't that the demon from that night?

But the aura... always felt subtly different.

What is it? That's right, it's the absence of that strong, inescapable smell of blood and gore.

This person only gave off an ominous feeling, without that nauseating feeling of being surrounded by blood and smelling like someone who had just bathed in a pool of blood.

P.S.: 8700 words. The next chapter will start with the lieutenant and his reincarnation feeling envious...

Chapter Ten presents the first war, the enigmatic Nanami.

At this moment, with his path and retreat blocked by three terrifying beasts, Fujii Ren felt no fear for his own safety, only concern for the safety of Kasumi, whom he was carrying on his back.

With her around, even if Fujii Ren wanted to fight desperately, he couldn't. At least once Kasumi got involved, there wouldn't be a safe place in the entire Suwahara City unless she entered the node phase space.

Fujii Ren, who possessed an imagination beyond human comprehension, was absolutely certain of this: even the Earth was far too small for these demons.

However, upon hearing Sakurai Hotaru's words, Wilhelm actually gave Fujii Ren a proper look and sneered:

"Does that mean this guy has a lot of potential?"

Indeed, even among those at the beginner level, Wilhelm couldn't reach the level of Fujii Ren.

But potential is just potential; it's useless if it can't be converted into power.

"A sacrificial altar was activated tonight, and it really hurt them for a while." The witch touched the part of her body marked with holy marks, looking somewhat troubled, then looked at Fujii Ren and said with interest, "Aren't you going to attack us now...?"

"..."

Fujii Ren remained silent. Who would do something useless?

At this moment, she saw ordinary people as fragile as weeds, but she herself was probably even more fragile in the eyes of the other person.

A demon who has reached the Creation rank has an attack speed of light, and its neural reflexes are also at the speed of light.

An attack that doesn't reach this level is no different from being completely still in the eyes of the opponent.

Similarly, their bodies can withstand planetary-destroying damage; if one cannot surpass that level, there is no way to harm them.

The gap is both hopeless and enormous. Even if Fujii Ren takes action, he would probably be seen as nothing more than a puppet in the eyes of the other party.

However, this does not mean that Fujii Ren is beyond saving at this moment, after all, her existence is not yet at the point of her demise.

"Are you, as seniors, going to bully your juniors?"

Suddenly, a soft voice, familiar to Fujii Ren but sending chills down the spines of the three at the Black Round Table, rang out.

The sound came from five steps behind the witch and the lieutenant. Despite being so close to the demon, it went undetected.

"Shh-!"

In an instant, Fujii Ren's vision blurred, and the witch and the lieutenant vanished.

The next time he sensed the other person's presence, it was behind him, right where Sakurai Hotaru was.

This is movement at the speed of light, so it's perfectly normal that Fujii Ren couldn't perceive or capture it.

Good evening, Ghosts of the Black Round Table.

Wearing a simple and beautiful short-sleeved kimono, with dark green hair tinged with cherry blossom pink, and deep, pale purple eyes calmly staring at the three members of the Black Round Table, she said in a light, airy tone:

"The first sacrificial altar has been opened. Shall we offer our war for our master here tonight?"

"Ha, looks like we won't be able to stay idle tonight either."

Despite his extensive combat experience, Wilhelm trembled with a mixture of excitement and fear when facing someone who, like their master, belonged to the realm of transcendent beings.

Nanami appeared suddenly just now, before they could even sense her presence. If she had attacked them in that instant, they would have been seriously injured, if not killed.

The witch and Sakurai Hotaru didn't speak, but they clenched their teeth tightly.

Just now, it was Fujii Ren who faced their urgency, but now the three of them are facing a seemingly delicate girl in a kimono, yet they feel a tremor and crisis as if their lives are no longer in their own hands.

The girl in front of them gave the witch and the lieutenant the same feeling they had when they first met her in Heydrich: she was an absolute "Transcendent."

"The fourth member of the Black Round Table of the Thirteen Knights of the Holy Lance, Wilhelm Ellenberg, KazikluBey—!!"

The whites of his eyes turned dark red, and crimson demonic light burst forth from Wilhelm's pupils, revealing his vampire fangs, and then...

"State your name, woman!!!"

With a beast-like roar, Wilhelm still chose to attack, even though he felt the enemy's immense pressure.

The white-haired man's fist exploded with a crimson beam of light, threatening to shatter Fujii Ren and Nanami together.

The audience's perspective was split from a single viewpoint into two: one was their usual viewing perspective, and the other was the high-speed realm belonging to the strong.

From this perspective, only Fujii Ren is unable to move; everything appears to be frozen in place.

The vampire-like white-haired man unleashed a barrage of punches in an instant.

No one could describe in words how fast the opponent's punch was; the flow of time around them seemed to crawl like a tortoise.

Witnessing an attack at the speed of light firsthand still sent shivers down the spines of countless viewers, and the fragmented perspective made them realize the despairing gap between the strong and the weak.

In this situation, Fujii Ren was indeed like a helpless puppet. Eternal Destruction did not allow for challenges beyond one's level, and the difference between each rank was ridiculously large.

"The Empty Blade Style, the Seven Realities of the Yamashita."

Lightly, in this realm of incredible speed, she announced her name. Nanami raised a finger, and then...

Boom boom boom! ! ! !

The terrifyingly dense beam of light exploded outwards. Compared to Wilhelm's light-speed attack, Nanami's attack was far more terrifying, domineering, and incredibly fast!

The vampire's punches travel at a speed of one hundred million punches per second, while the attack from Nanami's single finger travels at a terrifying speed of trillions of times per second in an instant.

Standing in the middle is Fujii Ren, who is unable to move in the light speed domain. Nanami's attacks nullify or deflect the vampire's attacks aimed at Fujii Ren.

Then, with ease, it transformed into a raging storm that could destroy everything, roaring towards the three witches.

The witch and Sakurai Hotaru dared not be careless.

The former used the writhing shadow that could bind possibilities, intercepting an attack that would have reduced them to ashes.

The latter directly entered the [Forming] stage, manifesting its own relic, Crimson Gold, which transformed into a longsword burning with flames comparable to those of a star, unleashing an attack at the speed of light.

Countless earth-shattering impacts resounded to the extreme in that instant, and incredibly, Fujii Ren remained completely unharmed amidst this light-speed collision attack that was enough to destroy a sea of ​​stars.

Despite the devastating impact of the fist and the finger-sword, Fujii Ren was unharmed, and Nanami was even less affected.

Despite facing three opponents alone and having to protect the obstructing Fujii Ren in the middle, Nanami still handled the situation with ease, and her finger sword had already struck the three witches thousands of times.

"Guaaaaaahh ...

The witch, Lionheart Sword, and Piercing Duke—the bodies of the three demons were riddled with holes, so large that you could see their backs through them.

Even though there were three of them, they still appeared vulnerable when facing a woman who had only used one finger.

"Even if you rely on speed in the realm of hand-to-hand combat, in the eyes of those of the same rank, skill is what matters."

Nanami stopped attacking and appeared beside Fujii Ren at some point. She glanced casually at the three injured men before her and said in an ethereal tone:

"It's obvious that witches skilled in magic don't have any martial arts skills, and you, Piercing Brother, are only good at efficient killing. As for the young lady who is going to take over the position of Valkyrie, she is still too young."

His deep, indifferent gaze seemed to have stripped away all the other person's disguise, revealing everything about them.

The three demons in front of them, the witch and the vampire, could produce a considerable fighting force when they worked together.

As for the newcomer Sakurai Hotaru in Nanami's eyes, her sword was not sharp enough; to her, it was just a dull blade that couldn't hurt her.

"What are you talking about?! Your fists and feet are useless?! [Yetzirah]!!!"

Wilhelm's face twisted in a ferocious grimace, and a terrifying aura of blood energy erupted from his body, stirring up the witch and Sakurai Hotaru, who were his companions.

But even if Wilhelm hadn't done that, the two men, whose expressions had changed drastically, wouldn't have come within half a meter of him.

Because the vampire initiated his [formation], a dark gift of human-machine fusion.

Back, front, arms, knees.

Wilhelm's body resembled that of a tortured victim, with crimson stakes growing from his flesh. His sunglasses were shattered by the high concentration of spiritual pressure, revealing scarlet eyes indistinguishable from those of a vampire, and his clearly visible fangs gleamed with a chilling light.

Centered on him, all the land, trees, grass, and so on began to wither rapidly and then turned into lifeless yellow sand.

Simply standing still, it seemed as if all the vitality around them had been drained away.

Om-!

The phase on the transmutation circle node was triggered, and the group was immediately transferred to the demon's battle platform space.

However, when she was pulled into this parallel phase, Nanami simply threw out the troublesome Fujii Ren.

In the eyes of viewers from countless dimensions, Wilhelm, transformed into a monster and a vampire, greedily devours everything.
