Type-Moon: Upgrade entry, join the chat group at the beginning

"That lord asked me to give you the jade pendant, but I don't know its purpose," Gurefia said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Serjax took the jade pendant and examined it carefully in his hand.

I didn't see anything special about it.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that it seems to contain a powerful force.

However, considering that it was given to him by Su Luo, there must be something unusual about it.

So Serjax decided to infuse it with magic and examine it more closely.

However, before he could infuse the jade pendant with magic...

The next moment, the powerful force within the jade pendant suddenly erupted!

boom! !

An astonishing roar resounded.

A huge mushroom cloud rose from Gimonli’s base.

A moment later, everything settled down.

From the center of the mushroom cloud came a slightly low cough.

"Cough cough..." Serjax waved his hand and casually used a spell to disperse all the surrounding smoke and dust.

He looked extremely disheveled and covered in dirt.

He was lucky to have reacted quickly enough to use his destructive magic to block some of the damage from that attack.

In addition, Su Luo had no intention of killing him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't just look disheveled now.

“This…” Gurefia was speechless for a moment.

Despite the powerful explosion, she was not affected by it.

This wasn't because Serjax had reduced some of the explosion's power beforehand; it was probably because Su Luo had no intention of harming her.

As one of the parties involved, she saw it very clearly.

Just now, at the instant of the explosion, a shield rose up around her, blocking the damage from the blast.

Moreover, most of the power was concentrated on Serjax alone; although the surrounding buildings were damaged, no one was injured.

Only Serjax was in a very bad state.

In other words, Su Luo's goal from beginning to end was Serjax.

The purpose, of course, was to demonstrate his strength to Serjax.

This also tells Serjax that what he sent back earlier wasn't a joke, but a serious statement.

Otherwise, if he were to take action himself when other demons came looking for trouble, it wouldn't be as simple as a lesson or a warning.

With this in mind, Gurefia's heart calmed down, and her respect for Su Luo rose to another level.

This matter is none of her concern, and she doesn't want to offer too much advice.

What Grefia could think of, Serjax could naturally think of as well.

Serjax, who understood Su Luo's meaning, was not angry, but just smiled helplessly.

"It seems our son-in-law has quite a personality."

“Greefia, please go to the Phoenix family and inform them to cancel Rias and Riesel's engagement. Also, warn them not to do anything reckless, or we won't be able to protect them.”

It is possible to seal magic powerful enough to harm a transcendent being within a seemingly ordinary jade pendant, and to control its power so exquisitely.

This is enough to show that Su Luo's strength is at least that of a transcendent being, and he also has considerable expertise in crafting magical items.

Such strength is enough to make them take it seriously.

I wonder where Rias came from to recruit such a powerful person. Perhaps he could visit her when he has some free time.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Serjax's face.

Upon hearing this, Gurefia understood what to do.

After bowing slightly, he left the Gremory family's residence.

……

the other side,

Inside a secluded building.

This is the headquarters of the Calamity Gang.

On the surface, the Calamity Clan was an organization established to help Orpheus defeat the True Crimson Dragon God Emperor.

But in reality, it was an organization established by Cao Cao and others in order to recruit more people by leveraging and obtaining the power of the Infinite Dragon God Orpheus.

Now, it sits in a position inside the building that resembles a throne.

A girl dressed in a black Gothic Lolita dress sat there, seemingly lost in thought, staring intently ahead.

The girl was none other than Orpheus, the apparent leader of the Calamity Clan.

She is the most innocent being in this world, and also one of the most powerful beings in the world.

Suddenly she sensed something and turned to look in the direction of the underworld.

"...That is a power that does not belong to this world."

"Perhaps he has a way to help me defeat the True Crimson Dragon God Emperor and reclaim the original peace."

Thinking of this, Orpheus vanished from the spot.

Geork, who had been following Orpheus, was dumbfounded.

Orpheus's sudden departure without a word was something he hadn't expected.

It was clear that Orpheus had sensed that there was someone who could help her defeat the True Crimson Dragon God Emperor, someone whose importance even surpassed that of the people they had previously sought out.

That's why she ignored Cao Cao's instructions and left the Disaster Group directly.

"Oh no, I have to report to Cao Cao right away, otherwise I can't bear the responsibility if something really happens."

……

Rias was unaware of what was happening in the underworld.

She is currently performing a ritual with Su Luo to replenish their magic power.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Luo left the Supernatural Research Department and went to the open space outside to find Himejima Akeno and Toujou Koneko, who were cultivating.

"You can't improve your strength quickly by training like this."

Upon hearing Su Luo's voice, Himejima Akeno and Toujou Koneko stopped their cultivation.

"Oh, Lady Su Luo is out. Why didn't you spend more time with Rias? Why did you come to us, the family members? Is it because we, the family members, are more charming than Rias?" Akeno Himejima teased.

“No, she’s too tired and is resting. If you’d like, you could help relieve some of her burden.” Su Luo glanced meaningfully at Himejima Akeno.

This made the latter's eyelids twitch involuntarily.

She did not doubt Su Luo's words.

After all, Su Luo was a powerful figure whom even the silver-haired annihilators respected.

Given Rias's strength, it's quite normal that she couldn't withstand it.

She even suspected that Rias actually wanted them, her familiars, to come and help, but for some reason she couldn't speak up or even summon them through magic.

Thinking of this, Himejima Akeno's eyelids twitched, but she subtly changed the subject, saying, "Lord Su Luo, you said that our current training method can't quickly improve our strength. So, may I ask if you have any methods to help us improve our strength?"

Upon hearing this, Su Luo did not delve into the matter further.

"It's very simple, just focus on developing your own bloodline and you'll be fine."

Upon hearing this, Himejima Akeno and Toujou Koneko froze, falling silent at the same time.

They have unresolved issues and are unwilling to develop the hidden power within them. At the same time, they don't know how to talk to Su Luo about it.

After all, they had only met for a few hours, and it was really too much to ask them to reveal their past that they didn't want to disclose.

"I know a little about what's going on in your affairs, but I won't offer my opinion."

"But you might as well think about it from a different perspective."

“This power does not belong to anyone else; it belongs only to you. You should not feel disgusted with your own power because of them.”

"You can use this power to teach those you despise a lesson in the future," Su Luo said, glancing at Himejima Akeno, who was deep in thought.

"For example, Akeno, you are a hybrid of human and fallen angel, and now you have been reincarnated as a demon. If you develop your talents well, you can use the advantages of your three races to teach the Himejima family and even your fallen angel father a lesson."

"Make them pay the price for the harm they caused you."

"And with the kitten, things are even simpler for you."

Upon hearing this, Tacheng Xiaomao couldn't help but look up at Su Luo.

What do you mean? Why is it simpler for her?

“The reason your sister Black Song killed her own king and became a rogue demon had nothing to do with her own power. Everything she did was to protect you, her younger sister,” Su Luo said, gently pointing her finger at Ta Cheng Xiao Mao’s forehead.

In an instant, all the information related to Kuroko flooded Toujou Koneko's mind. After a moment, Toujou Koneko finished reviewing the information in her mind and fell silent again.

Her expression remained calm, but a misty haze rose in her eyes, indicating that her heart was not at peace.

“Therefore, you shouldn’t reject this power, whether it’s for your sister or for Rias who took you in.” Su Luo smiled gently.

"Yes." Ta Cheng Xiao Mao nodded heavily, then asked with a hint of expectation, "Lady Su Luo, can you bring my sister back?"

"When you grow to a certain level, Hei Ge will naturally come looking for you, and I will help you keep Hei Ge here." Su Luo gave Ta Cheng Xiao Mao a head pat with practiced ease.

Ta Cheng Xiao Mao's eyes flickered. Although she was very uncomfortable, she remembered the information Su Luo had given her, which made her understand the truth.

She couldn't help but suppress the urge to slap Su Luo away.

"Zhuno, think it over carefully. Once you figure it out, your strength will increase at a leap forward." Su Luo chuckled and then returned to Rias's room.

……

In the Department of Paranormal Research.

Rias lay exhausted in her room. When she saw Su Luo return again, she instinctively thought that Su Luo still wanted her destructive magic, and immediately reached out to persuade her, "Wait! I can't take it anymore!"

"If you want magic, go find Akeno and Koneko. With your charm, you'll surely be able to get them to help you."

Recalling the scene when Su Luo activated the magic circle, Rias's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Now she has witnessed the consequences of facing Su Luo alone.

She secretly vowed that if she could get help from her sisters in the future, she would never go and challenge Su Luo alone!

This guy really doesn't treat her like a human being!

No, she's really not human...

Thinking of her identity as a demon, Rias's lips twitched involuntarily.

Seeing that Lia sold her familiars without hesitation, Su Luo couldn't help but tease, "Oh, you sold your familiars so decisively? Didn't you say you treated your familiars as family? Aren't you afraid that Akeno and Koneko will find out and become deserters?"

Rias coughed lightly: "We're all family, they can't just watch me suffer, they have to help me share the burden."

"Don't worry, if I came to you to replenish my mana, I wouldn't have gone out in the first place." Su Luo smiled and then changed the subject.

"I just tried to help Zhu Nai and Xiao Niao resolve their inner conflicts. Xiao Niao had the smoothest experience. After learning that her sister did not kill her king and become a rogue demon because of a power outburst, she quickly came to terms with it."

"As for Zhu Nai, she's probably still a little short, but I think she'll soon be able to resolve the knot in her heart."

"Congratulations! The strength of your two companions is about to undergo a leap forward. If you, as the king, don't improve your strength quickly, they might surpass you in no time."

Rias smiled confidently, "It doesn't matter. Even if they are stronger than me, they wouldn't kill the king and run away. They are my closest sisters!"

She was quite confident about this.

Unlike the other demons, before she met Akeno Himejima and Koneko Toujou, both of them were wanted and being hunted down.
