Chapter 417 Recruiting Astarothie (Two Chapters Combined)

'

'

Across from them, the man in the magic robe stared blankly at Shi Chen and Aurora arguing.

What are they doing?

Are they flirting?

This person doesn't resemble the legendary Fifth True Ancestor at all; he has no fear whatsoever. He began to doubt whether Shi Chen was indeed the Fifth True Ancestor.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. I'll prove you wrong, okay?"

"Shichen, how dare you accuse us of making trouble?"

"Teacher Shi, we didn't cause any trouble."

"...You two, shut up." Without hesitation, Shi Chen pulled the two women into his arms and covered their mouths.

"Ugh!" The two struggled, but it was no use.

Xiao Wu watched this scene calmly. She suddenly felt that she should have joined in the commotion just now, so that Shi Chen could hold her in his arms.

"Ahem, please excuse my poor appearance, don't mind it," Shi Chen said awkwardly to the man in the robe.

;

"...What do you want to do?" The man in the robes tried to keep his expression calm.

"Didn't I just say? Hand her over to me."

"Why...?" the man in the robe asked, frowning.

Is it true that the Fifth Progenitor is a lolicon, as rumored?

He has taken a fancy to Astarothie?

"You're still asking why... She's an artificial life form, isn't she?" Shi Chen's expression suddenly turned cold.

"Huh—what? She's using an artificial life form?" At that moment, Yukina Himeragi brushed aside Toki's hand and looked at Astarothie in disbelief.

Astaroth stood still, without any reaction, her expression indifferent.

"It really is..."

""

A closer look reveals Astarothie's unusual nature; she is clearly not a normal person.

"You bastard!" Himeragi Yukina glared angrily at the man in the robe.

The reason she was so angry was not because Astarothie was an artificial life form, but because there was a familiar inside Astarothie!

The ability to command familiars is unique to vampires, because these creatures devour their master's life force. Apart from vampires' long-lasting life force, no other creature can withstand this.

"What on earth did you do? You actually put a familiar inside her body!"

"Who are you? You know quite a lot." The man in the robe looked at Himeragi Yukina with surprise.

"I am a sword priestess of the Lion King Organization," Yukina Himeragi replied coldly.

"As expected of the witch from the Lion King Organization."

The man in the robes made no attempt to conceal it; at this moment, there was no need for him to, and he was even quite proud.

"Only vampires can control their familiars within their own blood. However, by parasitizing the captured familiars before they hatch, I have successfully created an artificial life form containing familiars within its body. The only successful case is Astalloti."

"7

"shut up!"

Himeragi Yukina angrily interrupted the robed man: "Why is it that besides vampires, no other demon race can command familiars... You can't possibly not know that, can you? You knew that and still did this..."

""

"Of course I know that when familiars materialize, they devour their host's life at an alarming rate. Only vampires with infinite negative life force can keep them... Is that what you're trying to say?"

"Then why...wouldn't she...?"

""

"As long as Roddarkduros remains in Astaroth's body, her lifespan won't be long, at most two more weeks... But she can extend her lifespan by consuming the demons she defeats... Her sacrifice is necessary to achieve my goals."

The man in the robes spoke calmly, showing no remorse.

"So you just... attacked the demons?" Himeragi Yukina realized.

"That's right, this is to use their magic to feed their familiars. Astarothie can't die so soon."

'

Himeragi Yukina was furious: "For something like this... you raised her just for this? What's the difference between her and a gadget?!"

"Oh."

The man in the robes looked at Yukina Himeragi with a cold smile and retorted, "Sword Shaman of the Lion King Organization, why are you angry? Aren't you also a tool raised by the Lion King Organization?"

"this...

.!

"Buying unwanted babies with money, wholeheartedly instilling anti-demon technology into them, and then sending them to the battlefield... It's like treating them as disposable tools—is this how the Lion King Organization operates? Sword Witch, you're with the Fifth Ancestor, so you must have been sent, right? That means you're quite capable... You've grown up to be this old; haven't you made quite a few sacrifices?"

'

Faced with the merciless questioning from the man in the robe, Himeragi Yukina remained silent, as if her entire body was frozen, biting her lip with all the color draining from her face.

"Who gave you permission to question Setsuna?"

At that moment, Shichen embraced Himeragi Yukina, staring coldly at the man in the magic robe, his magical power beginning to surge.

"...This magical power is indeed from the True Ancestor!" The man in the robe looked at Shichen with suspicion and uncertainty, becoming extremely vigilant.

"Yukina, don't listen to him. Have you forgotten whether you were happy or not in the Lion King organization?" Tokiko gently comforted Yukina Himeragi.

"Teacher Shi..." Himeragi Yukina turned around, looking at him with a pale face.

"How could you be so easily swayed by just a few words? Are you really that fragile?" Shi Chen chuckled, pinching her cheek, which was quite bouncy.

"Hmm..."

""

"Hehe, the Lion King Organization raised you, so isn't it reasonable for you to repay them? Besides, they haven't mistreated you."

"Is that so..." Himeragi Yukina's expression softened slightly as she recalled her life growing up at the Lion King Organization.

"Is that really the case? I'm just using things that are made as tools as tools, while you are degrading humans, who are born with God's blessing, to tools. Aren't you the ones who are deeply sinful?"

"Shut up!"

Shi Chen roared, his magical power surging and shaking the space. The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, the air became heavy and difficult to breathe, and the ground shook.

"This is...! How is this possible! Such magic...!" The man in the magic robe began to lose his balance due to the tremors of the ground, but he found that he could not move.

Not only was he enveloped in magic, but the space around him was also sealed off.

"What happened?"

"Teacher Shi..." Himeragi Yukina exclaimed in surprise. The dense magic emanating from Shichen made her feel an urge to submit.

It was only at this moment that she realized it was the Fifth True Ancestor, the strongest being in the world.

His appearance was completely different from that of ordinary people these past two days.

It's amazing that she usually dares to treat him so recklessly.

But at this moment, his anger stemmed from her.

"Is this the power of the Fifth True Ancestor? It's truly enviable..." The man in the robe couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes filled with fervor.

Shichen looked at him unmoved: "I was originally thinking of being gentle with you, but there's no need now. I can't bear to say anything to Yukina and hurt her feelings, yet you dare to say such things to her. You deserve to die."

"Teacher Shi..." Shi Chen's words made Himeragi Yukina's heart pound.

"Even if you are the Fifth Progenitor... I will not yield, Astarothie! Charge!"

"—Command received."

As an artificial life form, Astarothie must obey the commands of her creator, and she stepped forward to face the hour.

A huge, long hand emerged from her cloak and coat, carrying the force of a whirlwind, and slammed fiercely towards Shichen.

The commotion, which seemed capable of destroying everything, made Yukina Himeragi shout in worry, "Teacher Toki, be careful..."

..!

"Don't worry, have you forgotten who I am?"

Toki smiled slightly at Himeragi Yukina, without even looking at her, and simply raised her hand to block Astarothie's full-force attack.

There was no sound at all, as if it were blocking the children's play.

Himeragi Yukina stared in astonishment, speechless.

"How is that possible!"

The robed man was incredulous and panicked. He shouted, "Astarothie, go all out!"

—Command received... Ughhhhh!

Astarothie began to groan in pain, and then another arm lifted her cloak and emerged from behind her; the two hands were clearly a pair.

Moreover, something even larger emerged from her body—a translucent, colossal form shimmering with iridescent light.

This is the complete familiar, not just the shape of the arms. It is a tall giant, like a faceless stone monster, with its whole body covered in thick fleshy armor.

"roar--!"

After it absorbed Astarothie into its body, it roared and then swung its fists down heavily on the hour.

"Stop fooling around."

Shichen, still unconcerned, raised his hand and easily caught the giant's familiar's devastating blow without causing any ripples.

It's like erasing the attack.

"This...how is this possible!" The man in the robes stared wide-eyed.

"You don't actually think the rumors are false, do you? I am the Fifth True Ancestor. What can mere artificial life forms and ordinary familiars do to me?" Shi Chen said calmly.

"6

""

"But don't worry, I won't lay a hand on you. You can let Yukina handle it. It's better if she takes revenge herself... How about that?" Toki asked Yukina Himeragi at the end.

"Teacher Shi... but I didn't bring any weapons..." Himeragi Yukina really wanted to take matters into her own hands, but being unarmed, she didn't think she was a match for the man in the robe.

The opponent was wearing augmented armor; even orcs were no match for him, and she was not an arrogant person.

"Is this the weapon?" Tokimi released Himeragi Yukina and reached out to the side.

Space began to fluctuate, and a fantastical passage appeared. Shichen reached in and took out a box that looked like it contained musical instruments.

It's the box that Yukina Himeragi carries with her to school every day.

"? How could this be?" Himeragi Yukina blankly accepted the weapon that Shishimatsu handed her.

"Didn't I say? Itogami Island is my territory, and I can take anything here if I want."

"Then... my underwear?"

"Is it appropriate for you to ask this now?" Shi Chen's lips twitched.

"Um...it's because you always look at my panties, Teacher Shi..."

'

"What? Why does Shichen want to see her panties? If you want to see them, you can have mine." Aurora couldn't help but interrupt.

"Shut up." Shi Chen tapped her head impatiently.

"Ouch...it hurts..."

'

"Xiao Wu, don't let her speak."

"OK."

"Yukina, you too, I'll teach you a lesson later." Toki glared at Himeragi Yukina.

"Disciplining me... could it be?" Himeragi Yukina suddenly remembered the spanking thing that Shichen had mentioned that afternoon.

"What are you thinking about now? Let's deal with that guy first," Shi Chen urged. He was just saying it casually and didn't think much of it.

"oh...

'

Unsure of the meaning of the time, Himeragi Yukina nervously pulled out a weapon from her instrument case—a beautiful, silver-gleaming spear.

She had completely forgotten the man in the magic robe's manipulative words.

A crisp metallic clang rang out as the silver spear unfurled its blade, revealing its true form.

"Snowy Wolf!"

Himeragi Yukina gripped her spear tightly, her fierce aura emanating from within. At this moment, she was truly the sword priestess of the Lion King Organization.

"Are you ready? Then I'll release that guy. You don't want to seek revenge on someone who's easy prey, do you?" Shi Chen asked.

"Yes!" Himeragi Yukina stared calmly at the man in the robe.

"Alright, don't worry, go ahead and use your skills. I have control of this space, so don't worry about him escaping."

"I see."

At that moment, Shichen released the man in the robes, and at the same time, Himeragi Yukina rushed forward with her gun in hand.

"Don't be so arrogant!"

Feeling insulted, the man in the robes defiantly raised his battle axe to meet Himeragi Yukina's attack.

bite-!

The silver spear and the battle axe collided instantly, sparks flying.

However, there was no struggle involved. In the blink of an eye, Yukina Himeragi pushed the battle axe away with a single effort.

"It's actually...!"

The man in the robe used an agility that his burly body could not possibly possess to dodge the silver spear's pursuit. He took a few steps back, straightened his posture, and then assumed a new stance.

"This gun... it's actually the Type 7 Assault Demon-Slaying Machine Gun? Engraved with a divine vibration wave drive formula, a weapon the Lion King's organization could never have kept hidden! I never imagined I'd witness it in a place like this!"

As the man in the robe spoke, a joyful smile appeared on his lips, and his monocle, which resembled an eye patch, kept emitting a red glow, but he quickly regained his composure.

If they had met before, he could have given Astarothie the same ability, but now, it's hard to say.

He can't even protect himself.

"Sword Wizard of the Lion King Organization, you are worthy of being my opponent."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Yukina Himeragi, too lazy to listen, launched another attack with her gun.

Despite her petite stature, she possessed considerable strength, and she was incredibly agile, handling the burly man in his robes with ease.

"Damn it!"

Unable to reach Himeragi Yukina, the man in the robes finally couldn't take it anymore. He clashed his weapon with hers again, then forcefully pushed her away. He then stomped on the ground, his burly body accelerating violently, and swung his battle axe like a decapitation blade, aiming straight at the retreating Himeragi Yukina.

Click—click—

The armor on the man in the robes made a sound, amplifying his speed and power. The power of this slash could easily cut through even an armored vehicle.

However, Himeragi Yukina had exceptionally rich combat experience. She clearly saw through his attack and easily dodged to the side.

It wasn't over yet. Himeragi Yukina thrust out her silver spear with her other hand, attacking the man in the robe's right arm.

He was completely unable to control his strength and could only watch helplessly as the silver spear thrust towards him.

Pfft—!

Red liquid splattered, followed by an arm encased in armor flying out. Himeragi Yukina mercilessly severed the arm of the robed man.

"Ugh—!" The man in the robe groaned in pain, cold tears streaming down his face as he gritted his teeth and stared at the expressionless Himeragi Yukina.

"It easily shattered the protective barrier of my Saint-Berg armor. As expected of the Type 7 Assault Demon-Slaying Machine Gun, amazing!"

Himeragi Yukina's expression was cold and stern as she looked at him indifferently: "Is this all you've got? Are you prepared to pay the price?"

She was determined to bring him down completely. What he had done was a capital offense, and even if she didn't, she believed Shi Chen wouldn't let him go.

Shi Chen had been so considerate of her, and she didn't want to disappoint him or make him take action.

The divine son of the Suanmao and the high-ranking swordsman hereby pray: "May the dawn of destruction bring you peace, and may the divine wolf of snow and mist swiftly aid me with the divine might of steel to vanquish the evil gods and demons!"

Himeragi Yukina solemnly chanted a prayer. The magical power she had cultivated within her body amplified the power of the Seven-Type Assault Demon-Slaying Machine Gun, causing the gun to emit a blue-white light.

"Ugh...this is..." The powerful fluctuations of magical energy caused the man in the magic robe to contort his expression, filled with panic.

Without hesitation, Himeragi Yukina launched a fierce attack on the man in the robe.

"Ahhh—!"

The silver spear shot out like a flash of light, and the man in the robe had no time to react before he felt the impact on his chest.

The impact spread throughout his body, causing his armor to wail mournfully, and his face began to turn deathly pale.

His reinforced armor could easily withstand attacks from orcs, but it couldn't withstand the onslaught from the petite girl in front of him.

Click!Click!

Sparks flew from the joints of the robed man's body due to the overload of the reinforced armor.

Himeragi Yukina's offensive did not stop there. The silver spear once again unleashed powerful force, and finally, the blue and white cursed power pierced through his chest.

Pfft—!

Red blood splattered, shattered armor flew everywhere, and the man in the magic robe was sent flying more than ten meters before crashing heavily to the ground without making a sound.

"call""

Himeragi Yukina felt no discomfort whatsoever. She let out a long sigh, put away the Snow Wolf, and smiled at Shichen, her eyes revealing a smug sense of accomplishment.

"Teacher Shi, how is it?"

"Very impressive." Shi Chen gave her a thumbs up.

Hehe~

For some reason, Himeragi Yukina felt very happy to receive Toki's praise. When she came to Toki, she was rewarded with a pat on the head, which made her even happier.

"I thought you would let him off the hook," Shi Chen said unexpectedly, stroking her black hair.

"Impossible, he did something so heinous... What is she going to do?" Himeragi Yukina looked at Astarothie, who was still under the control of time.

"She is innocent, I will not kill her," Shichen said.

"But...her life..." Himeragi Yukina pursed her lips, hesitating to speak.

However, the artificial life form Astarothie, who commands familiars, cannot live on its own.

"That's easy."

Time gently grasped the giant's fists, dispersing them into magical energy that returned to Astarothie's body.

Astarothie collapsed weakly to the ground, her face still expressionless.

The hour arrived before her and knelt down: "Your creator is dead. What do you plan to do?"

I don't know...

'

"In that case, become my kin."

As Shichen spoke, he pulled Astarothie's petite body into his arms, then lowered his head, brought his fangs close to her neck, and pierced her fair neck.

"Ugh..." Astarothie murmured in pain and closed her eyes.

"?" This scene stunned Himeragi Yukina.

Ogurora also joined in, complaining loudly.

"Shichen, what are you doing!"
