I'll kill you after I finish this game!

After quickly thinking for a moment and confirming that there were no relevant people recently or in the past, Lei Zhe looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka and asked, "What do they all look like?"

"The three men were all very young. One had silver-gray hair and a cold expression. Another had short hair with a tight headband. The last one looked like a foreigner, with blond hair and glasses."

"As for those two women, well, they're both beauties, one big and one small."

Hiratsuka Shizuka recalled for a moment and told Rai Zhe in front of her. After all, the group of five was very eye-catching, and each of them had a very special temperament. They were the kind of people who could be recognized at a glance in a crowd.

One of the women looked like a foreigner, while the other, who appeared much more mature, seemed to be a native Japanese.

"I understand, Hiratsuka-sensei. I need to ask for leave and will be temporarily away from school for a while." After hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's description and releasing his senses, Rai Zhe knew who had come to the school specifically to find him.

I didn't expect that guy Vali to arrive so quickly, and he even brought his own little group to find me. I wonder what he wants.

But given Vali's battle maniac persona, Rei is certain there's a high chance they'll fight.

"Go ahead, but remember to be careful."

When faced with Lei Zhe's sudden request for leave, Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand and agreed. Lei Zhe had just finished his exams that morning, and she had already looked at the papers; he had gotten full marks in all subjects.

As expected, Lei Zhe remains at the top of the academic rankings. Faced with such a top student who doesn't require much attention from teachers, some preferential treatment will still be given to him.

She simply told Reiji to be careful, and then Hiratsuka Shizuka left.

After walking towards the school gate, Rei Zhe indeed saw several conspicuous groups, including Vali.

The moment Lei Zhe appeared, he was immediately spotted.

When they reached the five-man group of Vali's team, the other four, except Vali, were sizing up Rezhe. After glancing at him, Rezhe said to Vali, "Let's find a secluded place to talk."

hum!

A magic circle suddenly appeared in Rezer's palm, and he unleashed the magic that hindered cognition, which he had learned from Thor. Apart from the few extraordinary beings in front of him, everyone ignored Rezer.

P.S.: It's really awkward not being able to twist my neck. Please vote and recommend! After thinking about it, I think the more brutal style of Iori Yagami suits Raize better.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: A Sparring Match with Vali

To the pedestrians, Lei Zhe didn't exist at all, and they didn't care why a living person suddenly disappeared.

Vali nodded to his team, and then Arthur's sister, Ruffi Pendragon, cast a spell on everyone that blocked their perception.

"Clang, clang—!"

Seeing what Vali and the others did, Reiji immediately took out the Yamato Blade. Under the astonished gaze of Arthur, the wielder of the Holy King Sword beside him, he swung the Yamato Blade, making a horizontal and a vertical slash, and opened a spatial portal in front of him.

After sheathing his sword, Lei Zhe didn't say anything and went inside first. Lei Zhe's figure disappeared as he was swallowed by the shadow of the spatial gate.

"Walli, it seems the person you've found is indeed special."

Arthur glanced at the portal in front of him and adjusted his glasses. The knife that had suddenly appeared in the other person's hand was clearly no ordinary item; it possessed the same power to cut through space as his Holy King Sword.

However, seeing how easily the opponent sliced ​​through space as if cutting tofu and created a spatial portal, the power of the knife in the opponent's hand in space might even be greater than that of his Holy King Sword.

"Why would I bother with him if he wasn't special? I'm leaving!"

Vali entered the spatial portal first, not worried that Reiji might have set any traps on the other side. His intuition told him that Reiji was not that kind of guy, and Vali, being a strong person, was not afraid of any traps.

As Vali entered the portal, the others followed suit.

Tacheng Heige looked at the spatial passage with great interest. It was very stable and unobstructed. She hadn't expected that the person Vali had taken a liking to would have such abilities, which piqued her interest.

After walking for two or three seconds, Vali and his group passed through a shadowy space and arrived at their destination. They saw dense thickets and forests around them, the chirping of birds, and the high mountains in front of them.

They arrived at a deserted forest, the very place where Reiji and Kobayashi had first met Tohru.

The portal behind Vali and the others gradually closed after they emerged. Looking at the boy wielding the Yamato sword before them, Reiji also turned to Vali and spoke:

"What brings you here? Let me guess, a fight?"

Upon hearing this, Vali smiled, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes, but he didn't immediately lash out. Instead, he looked at the composed Reiji opposite him and introduced himself.

"I have indeed come to spar with you. Let me reintroduce myself. I am Vali, a half-demon, and the current host of the Wings of the God-Slaying Gear, White Dragon Emperor."

"Now that you know what I'm going to do, unknown wielder of the God-Slaying Gear, let me witness your power!"

After this statement was made, the people behind Vali wisely moved away from the area. They were also quite interested in just how strong this human that Vali had taken a liking to was.

At the instruction of his brother Arthur, Lefie, standing nearby, set up a subspace barrier. A blue magic circle lit up, and a huge magic circle appeared on the ground, covering an area of ​​one kilometer.

"Om-!!"

After a flash of light in Lei Zhe's eyes, the scene in front of him did not change, but he could no longer sense any life force from anyone else present.

This was an alternate dimension barrier magic cast by Arthur's sister. Reiji wasn't surprised by this kind of magic, since both Saint Seiya and Thor in the family knew this kind of move.

I never expected that such a young girl would know this kind of trick.

This space was created to ensure that the battle between Vali and Reiji would not affect the outside of the boundary.

On the battlefield where the two were facing off, a strong sense of urgency permeated the surroundings. This was partly due to the war-loving expression on Vali's face, and partly due to Reiji, who was secretly excited and had his eyes slightly narrowed.

Just as he was about to unleash his fury in a fight, a powerful figure appeared in front of him.

Whether it was fate or not, Neptune within Reiji had just devoured the Red Dragon Emperor's dragon soul. After obtaining the Red Dragon Emperor's power, he encountered Vali. Fate and destiny are truly wondrous.

"Om-!"

In an instant, magic surged from Vali's back, and a pair of dazzling wings appeared in a sudden burst of light.

They were a pair of white wings that seemed to have been meticulously crafted, their surfaces shimmering with a ghostly blue light like a film.

Because of the terrifying divine power emanating from Reiji, Vali didn't hold back and summoned his divine weapon, the Wings of the White Dragon Emperor.

"Oh, it seems Vali is very serious. He used the White Dragon Emperor's Wings right from the start."

Seeing Vali's stance, the monkey standing at a distance with an iron rod on his shoulder raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Vali really valued his opponent.

Even without using the White Dragon Emperor's wings, Vali is a formidable opponent.

Tacheng Heige looked at Lei Zhe with great interest, his cat ears twitching cutely.

"I'm quite curious about that young man, and I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of power he will show next."

Arthur and his sister remained silent, their eyes fixed on the increasingly tense battlefield.

When Vali revealed that he was the owner of the Unknown God Destroyer Gear, Rei was a little confused, but after thinking about it, he realized that the other party had misunderstood something.

Since the other party wants to fight, Lei Zhe will oblige.

He also knew the details of the White Dragon Emperor's light wings ability, which were among the top-tier divine artifacts of the Thirteen Divine Annihilation Tools.

Its power is the counterpart to the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets: every ten seconds, it halves the opponent's power and adds the halved power to itself.

Both sides have certain limitations. My method can multiply and absorb infinitely, but their multiplication and halving abilities are only temporary. If they were permanent, it would be too abnormal.

If you exceed the limits of your own physical body, you will no longer be able to obtain it.

"She looks quite pretty..."

Reiji praised the beauty of the opponent's God Destroyer Gear, and his chaotic true qi surged from his body. Ten phantom swords, which looked very similar to the Devil May Cry Power Blade and were formed by holy light, quickly materialized and were arranged vertically on both sides of Reiji.

【Phantom Sword - Assault!】

The ten golden phantom swords were poised to strike the moment they materialized, and immediately aimed at Valigang after he manifested the White Dragon Emperor's Wings, and then...

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh! ! !

The Phantom Sword swiftly broke the sound barrier, transforming into a raging storm amidst sharp, piercing sounds as it charged towards Vali.

"Om-!"

Facing the raging storm transformed by the Phantom Sword, Vali smirked, and the blue light of the White Dragon Emperor's wings behind him flashed.

Vali was unfazed by the speed of the opponent's illusion sword attack. He was no ordinary human; as a descendant of Lucifer, his basic qualities far surpassed those of ordinary extraordinary individuals.

The Phantom Sword pierced through Vali's afterimage. With the White Dragon Emperor's Wings on his back, he could naturally fly, and his speed was no less than that of a supersonic fighter jet.

Vari, flying through the air, spread out one hand, conjuring an offensive spell to retaliate against Reiji below.

But when it comes to speed, who is Lei Zhe afraid of?

"laugh----!"

The blade, tearing through the air with a whooshing sound and a dazzling arc of light, slashed precisely towards Vali's direction above, like a laser beam hurtling past.

"clang----!"

After a powerful collision, the sharp Yamato Blade transformed into a sharp slash and attacked Vali's neck. Meanwhile, the light wings on Vali's back folded forward to form a feather shield, blocking Rei's vicious slash.

"What a fast speed!"

Feeling the immense force transmitted by the light wings and the terrifying speed just now, Vali, looking at Reiji in front of him through the blue transparent light wings, had a flash of excitement in his eyes. The other party is indeed quite capable.

With a 'boom', the immense magical power within Vali's body erupted, transforming into a wave that blasted away Reiji in front of him.

"Sizzle..."

A surge of intense magic gathered in his hands, unleashing a burst of magical lightning. It wasn't real lightning, but rather Vali's magic being so concentrated and condensed that it affected the surrounding space, causing gas molecules to discharge.

A terrifying surge of magical power erupted from his body, spreading outwards in all directions. A vast net of white lightning, crackling with electricity, spread out like a net covering the earth below.

Two silver magic circles, each a meter in size, materialized in Vali's palms, and silver lightning burst forth from the circles, sweeping towards Reiji.

This high-density magical lightning would turn to ashes if it hit, but Vali could unleash an attack of this level for a whole day, just like a normal attack to him.

That's how powerful they are—their magical reserves are enormous!

To be honest, this was the first time Rezer had faced such a massive amount of energy, but it wasn't an attack that was too difficult to withstand.

Royal Guard

As Razer was sent flying through the air, a magic circle appeared beneath his feet as a support point. He suddenly assumed a horse stance, his hands moving naturally as if brushing against flowing water.

Vali's silvery lightning struck Reiji, who neither dodged nor evaded. With a crisp sound, a wisp of crystalline energy exploded and scattered in front of him.

Most of the surging magic power in front of him was absorbed by Reiji. Because of the immense size of the magic lightning, Vali did not see Reiji's movements.

However, those watching below saw it all clearly.

"Brother, do you know how that person deflected Wally's attack?" Arthur's sister stared wide-eyed as she saw Rezel easily parry Wally's attack. Although she wasn't shocked, she couldn't quite understand how Rezel had done it.

Upon hearing his sister's question, Arthur adjusted his glasses, unable to discern how she had so easily deflected Vali's attack, and replied, "It seems to be a special defensive technique."

The others rolled their eyes at Arthur; everyone knew that was a special defensive measure.

Clang, Clang, Clang—!
