Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

Emilia, who was originally at a loss because of the changes on the ground, heard Lan Ke's call. She no longer cared about anything else and flapped her wings and flew towards Lan Ke.

Father Pucci's eyes lit up instantly when he saw this scene.

Yup!

That 'Emelia' is the key to everything!

There was no need for him to confront Lan Ke head-on!!

But when he stepped on the 'light' and rushed towards 'Emilia', he heard a sound of breaking air above his head. He almost instinctively raised the sword in his right hand to block in front of him.

"Ding~"

He saw an 'archangel' with red wings, wearing chain mail and a helmet, holding a similar long sword and blocking in front of him.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Seeing Emilia holding Lan Ke's hand and being pulled to the side by him, Father Pucci roared angrily. Lan Ke, who was holding Emilia with one hand, looked down at Father Pucci who was entangled with the Archangel with his cane in the other hand and made a mocking sound.

"I'm waiting for the 'magic circle' to be completed. What are you waiting for?"

After saying that, Lan Ke thrust the cane, which was still half exposed, into the ground again with great force, and this time most of it went in.

The ground, which had been shaking continuously, was completely broken through during the brief period of calm as if it had reached a threshold.

“Puff~!!”

A column of magma gushed out from the breach...

Chapter 97 "The Devil Arrives"

Raum is the 40th demon among King Solomon's 72 demons. He is an earl and commands 30 demon legions.

Although he is much less well-known than demons like Baal, as an 'Earl', he is not a weakling who can be easily dealt with.

As Lan Ke's initial mask, Lan Ke was very clear that as his 'Tarot' and 'Level' improved, the other party would have the possibility of 'advancing', so even though he obtained a 'Personality Mask' that was more useful at the moment, Lan Ke never relaxed his efforts to improve its level.

At first, it was similar to what Lan Ke had imagined. The large number of 'attribute enhancement/reduction' and 'negative status' skills fully demonstrated its nature as an 'auxiliary mask'. However, after its level reached 30, it obtained its own new 'exclusive skills' for the first time.

The Devil Arrives

Lamer has three main characteristics in the legend.

First, they can follow the summoner's instructions to steal treasures;

Second, predict the future;

Third, follow the summoner's instructions and destroy the city.

His ability to steal treasures, coupled with the fact that Lan Ke's wings, once a white dove with broken wings, are gradually turning black, may be the source of the connection between this demon god, whose true form is a crow, and Lan Ke, the "Phantom Thief".

The ability to predict the future did not appear, but the newly acquired 'Devil's Coming' was clearly a display of its destructive power.

This skill is very special, and its destructive power is related to the release time.

The longer the release time, the more magic power is consumed, the larger the skill coverage range, and the more terrifying the destructive power.

So according to the original plan, 'Parker' held back the master of the hall, while Lan Ke took the opportunity to give the other party a big blow!

The appearance and cautious attitude of 'Father Pucci' were also expected.

After all, the other party had shown relevant characteristics when he appeared before.

What Lan Ke didn't expect was that the other party would be so cautious that he wouldn't counterattack until Lan Ke made a move.

Even the "Archangel" that Lan Ke prepared in advance to prevent it from interfering with him was not used until the last moment.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Lan Ke, but in Lan Ke's opinion, this is probably also a problem with 'Z''s' perception of 'Father Pucci'. Although the other party prefers to hide in the dark to do things, he is also bold when necessary.

But this is a good thing for Lan Ke.

“Although it’s a half-baked ‘fake,’ thank you for the information nonetheless…”

As he spoke, Lan Ke raised his "cane" high up, and then swung it down violently!

As if receiving orders from the commander, the ground began to crack and countless columns of magma gushed out.

"Stab~"

The gushing lava made 'Z' fly two points higher instinctively, but when he found that these lava columns could not touch him, a mocking smile appeared on his face again.

"Hehe~! Is that all?! Is this your trump card! 'Beast'! 'Thief'!!"

Although Lan Ke told Parker that he had a "trump card" that required time to prepare, Lan Ke did not describe in detail what the "trump card" was. Parker did not care too much about it. After all, although the two parties were in a "cooperative" state, it was only cooperation, and the other party would not tell him all the secrets.

But now that he was being mocked by 'Z', he naturally would not show weakness.

"Haha~ This is just the beginning~!"

As if in response to Parker's words, a "living thing" suddenly emerged from the magma that was originally simply erupting and destroying the ground.

They run on all fours, their bodies covered with hard scales, their saliva is like magma, and the ground is set on fire wherever they pass.

That's right!

It is the 'Hellhound', one of the most common hell creatures in various myths.

'Father Pucci', walking on the 'light' with a golden halo all over his body, looks like a 'saint' in mythology.

In contrast, Lan Ke, who was holding a tearful fairy princess in one hand and commanding a group of hellhounds to destroy the earth with a grim smile on his face, looked like a villain trying to invade.

It's a pity that this 'saint' doesn't seem to be in good condition at this time.

'Archangels' belong to the '8th level' of the '9 levels of angels' in theology and are lower-level angels.

However, compared to the 'angels' who simply spread the gospel of God, the 'archangels' were better at fighting. At this time, the opponent holding the 'long sword' suppressed 'Father Pucci' from the air to the ground with a 'powerful slash'.

Unfortunately, before Father Pucci could congratulate himself for taking the attack, he heard a low roar.

Then he saw countless ferocious "hellhounds" surrounding him.

But he still waved the "holy sword" in his hand fearlessly and cut a hellhound that tried to approach him into two pieces.

The filthy blood was purified by the "Sacred Cloth" before it even touched him, but unfortunately, he had more than one enemy.

Almost at the same time as he killed the 'hellhound' in front of him, several more hellhounds bit his limbs.

“Sizzle~!!”

The hellhounds from hell were instantly burned by the 'holy garment', but even so, they still bit it with all their might, as if they would not let go until their opponent was completely torn to pieces!

Until the first 'hellhound' was completely purified, a second hellhound would appear and bite the same position.

But before it could bite, Father Pucci swung his Holy Sword and cut it off again.

But then the 'third' and 'fourth' ones pounced on him again.

At first glance, it seems that he is just doing something meaningless, but in fact, if you look closely, you can see that the halo of the 'sword' in Father Pucci's hand and the 'clothes' is weakening.

It is obvious that this blood from the devil is being purified while also reducing the opponent's energy.

Just as Lan Ke guessed, although the opponent's move was very terrifying, its potential was not endless.

Arms, thighs, abdomen, throat...

The last scene that 'Father Pucci' saw before he turned into 'energy' and dissipated was the 'Archangel' flapping its wings and slowly landing behind Lan Ke.

“Ahhhh~!!”

"You devil!!!"

Looking at 'Father Pucci' being completely torn to pieces by a group of hellhounds, Lan Ke was not moved at all. Instead, he turned his head to look at 'Emelia' beside him.

"Are you okay, Princess?"

Lan Ke's sudden words seemed to startle Emilia, and she almost instinctively took a step back.

It was obvious that the doomsday-like scene around her also frightened her.

Seeing this, Lan Ke was stunned for a moment, but then he showed a helpless expression.

It was obvious that he was also very aware of his current image.

Maybe it's something like a demon king who destroys the world?

Should I say that the name of my exclusive weapon, 'Sinful Kingship', is really a good one?

But just as Lan Ke let go of her hand, Emilia seemed to finally react.

She hugged Lan Ke suddenly.

"Mr. Narukami!"

Although Lan Ke and Emilia get along quite well, in reality they are just friends at best. This is even because Emilia took the initiative to introduce him to Lan Ke. After all, Lan Ke is not someone who likes to make new friends.

In addition, due to the constant attention of a certain "daughter-con" man, even though the two sides had a good chat, they always kept a certain distance.

This also caused Lan Ke to be stunned when Emilia suddenly hugged him.

Even though he keeps saying he wants to "start a harem", in reality he has almost no physical contact with the opposite sex. The most he has is probably with his assistant, followed by Saeko Busujima and Taiga Fujimura.

But Emilia obviously didn't realize how much of a shock her sudden hug gave Lan Ke. She just bit her lip and apologized to herself.

【乾寻】1⒋⒐○彡⑺⑼仈

"I'm sorry, Mr. Narukami, I just felt a little overwhelmed, so..."

It is obvious that although she has always been well protected by her "father", she still has a strong sense of right and wrong.

She knew very well that the reason she was here was entirely because of Lan Ke's protection. If it weren't for Lan Ke's protection, she would have been abducted by that "weirdo" long ago.

At the same time, she also knew how rude her reaction just now was.

What's more, Lan Ke is her first real "friend" in the past two hundred years, and she doesn't want to lose him because of her momentary panic.

But when he tried to explain in a panic, a cold hand suddenly covered her head.

She looked at the metal glove on Lan Ke's right hand in disbelief.

"Your Highness, Princess, you're a little too nervous. Or perhaps, as your 'Knight,' it was my fault for letting you witness such an unbearable scene. You don't need to take it too seriously..."

Although Emilia couldn't see Lan Ke's expression because of the mask, she seemed to be able to feel the other party's concern for her.

As far as she knew, she should be older, but for some reason she felt a sense of security with Lan Ke.

"Hmm~"

Just when the matter seemed to be resolved, an angry shout was suddenly heard.

"You little brat! Come and help me!"

Parker's call directly interrupted the originally good atmosphere, and then Lan Ke saw Parker looking at him angrily.

I just don't know whether the reason for this expression is because I am currently being suppressed by 'Z', or simply because I see my 'daughter' being held in Lan Ke's arms.

However, Parker's roar at this time also attracted the attention of another person.

Compared to Parker's complicated emotions, Z was completely furious at this moment.

"You little bastard thief!!! Get away from her!!"

The opponent simply ignored the ice arrow shot by Parker, turned around and shot a bolt of lightning at Lan Ke.

Unfortunately, before the thunder could hit Lan Ke, dozens of "hellhounds" had already climbed up Lan Ke to create a rock pillar and rushed directly towards the thunder.

“Sizzle~!!!”

These hellhounds turned into charcoal in front of the terrifying thunder, but Lan Ke, who was the target, still stood on the top of the rock pillar.

Even Emilia almost instinctively burrowed into Lan Ke's arms because of the thunder.

This made 'Z'' eyes blaze with anger...

Chapter 98 'Father and Daughter Received (Mistake)'

'Z', or more accurately, 'Roswaal Metsas', has an unimaginable obsession with 'witches'. Even if 'Emilia', who looks similar to him, shows a little intimacy with Lan Ke, he feels his blood pressure rising.

But the result of attacking Lan Ke was that Parker took the opportunity to hit him hard several times.

This forced him to temporarily withdraw his attention to continue dealing with 'Parker'.

Fortunately, in his opinion, the current situation is not too bad. Although 'Parker' can barely maintain a balance with himself because of Lan Ke's enhancement, as for Lan Ke's move 'Devil's Coming', although it is very terrifying, it can only be used against the ground and has no anti-air ability. As long as he stays in the air, there is no need to worry too much for the time being.

On the contrary, because Emilia was already on the battlefield, Parker was unable to escape with her, and the battle between the two sides was now a fight to the death.
