"Wu... let me go! Let me go!"
In the sky, Walburga struggled continuously, her hands and feet bound by Laojun's Golden Dragonfly. But no matter how much she used Magic or flames, it was all in vain.
"Walburga, what should I do with you now?" Slowly approaching, Tenraku lifted Walburga's chin with the Holy Spear in his hand and asked with a mocking expression on his face.
"Wu..."
Feeling a sudden chill, Walburga had no doubt that if Red Dragon Emperor so much as made a slight move with the Holy Spear in his hand, her beautiful head would be rolling.
"Are you... Are you going to kill me, Red Dragon Emperor?"
Finally feeling a bit scared, Walburga asked.
Although she was a cold-blooded and cruel demoness who had burned countless enemies, she didn't want to die. She was still young and beautiful, and she hadn't lived enough yet.
"Don't worry, I don't have a habit of killing women."
"Although you are a cold-blooded and cruel woman, you still have your value. I need many tools to serve me, and you can become one of my tools." Tenraku said while shaking his head.
In terms of strength, physique, and appearance, Walburga indeed had the qualifications to be his tool. As for loyalty, Tenraku would naturally instill it in her later!
"Tool?"
Walburga seemed a bit puzzled, but Tenraku was too lazy to explain further. With a wave of his hand, he sent Walburga into the Saints and Demons Hall.
After dealing with Walburga, Tenraku was about to fly back to the floating island to help Sairaorg and the others. However, at that moment—
Boom!!!!
A huge explosion came from a distance, and above Auros Town, a huge and dazzling sun seemed to rise. Even from a distance, one could feel the terrifying power contained in the explosion.
Sensing something, Tenraku's expression changed, and he immediately activated his ability to leap through space.
At the same time, in Auros Town—
Hong Hong Hong...
"Ahhhhh!!!!"
The Berserker Dragon, Grendel, who had already approached the level of a Heavenly Dragon, exploded with an immense amount of energy. Although Tenraku had transferred him to the high sky and locked him in layers of barriers, some of the energy that spread out still razed the entire Auros Town to the ground.
The barrier protecting Auros Academy flickered wildly, and Rias and her girls were thrown around, crashing into everything.
Chaos ensued for a long time before gradually calming down.
"Ha... Ha..."
Gasping heavily, Tenraku, battered and broken, slowly descended from the sky.
In order to prevent the energy from Grendel's self-destruction from spreading, Tenraku locked himself in the barrier, bearing almost all of the explosion's impact.
Fortunately, Tenraku had now reached the level of a transcender and possessed Sacred Gears like the Holy Grail of the Secluded World - Sephiroth Graal and Holy Mother's Smile, which were healing types. If it were someone else, they would have probably died countless times already.
Although he survived, Tenraku looked utterly miserable at the moment.
"Tenraku!"
"Lord Tenraku!"
"Master Tenraku!"
Rias and her girls also flew over, but when they saw Tenraku's current state, their faces paled, and tears even rolled down Asia and Akeno's cheeks.
Tenraku looked too pitiful at the moment.
"Don't come over!"
With a hoarse voice, Tenraku stopped the girls, who were almost running over in madness.
He knew his current appearance, so he didn't want to scare them. But perhaps he had already scared them...
It was at this moment that a flash of light appeared, and another Tenraku came back through Space Leap from Agreas.
They exchanged glances, and without the need for words, the two Tenrakus merged back into one entity.
All the injuries on his body disappeared, but there was still a hint of paleness on Tenraku's face, which he quickly suppressed.
"Tenraku, are you okay?"
"Thank goodness, Lord Tenraku..."
Rias and her girls hurried over, each looking at Tenraku with worry and concern.
"Don't worry, I'm fine now."
"I'm sorry for scaring you just now."
Tenraku smiled, reassuring them, and wiped the tears from Asia and Akeno's faces.
"Tenraku, what was that just now?"
Curious about the other Tenraku that appeared earlier, Rias asked.
"That was another me created using the ability of the Holy Spear's Forbidden Move, Gahapatiratana (Householder Treasure)."
"It's a bit complicated to explain, but unlike ordinary clones, the ones created using Gahapatiratana (Householder Treasure) are all real me. So even if the other me was blown up by Grendel just now, it doesn't matter much."
He explained to Rias and her girls, but Tenraku said this just to prevent the girls from worrying.
Although the ability of Gahapatiratana (Householder Treasure) was very powerful, if the other Tenraku had really died, it would still have caused Tenraku significant damage, and it would probably take a long time for him to recover from the loss of power.
But as long as Tenraku himself knew about these matters, there was no need to tell Rias and her girls, sparing them unnecessary worry.
After comforting the girls, Tenraku looked towards Sona.
"Sona, you were too impulsive just now. If the school is gone, we can rebuild it. Don't do such foolish things in the future."
Previously, Sitri Sona had rushed out without thinking to stop Grendel. Fortunately, Tenraku caught her and threw her back. If she had really rushed up there, she wouldn't have been as lucky as Tenraku.
"And what about you? Why did you go and do such a thing again?!"
With a hoarse voice, Sitri Sona stared at Tenraku.
Although the girl was desperately trying to restrain herself and appeared calm, both Tenraku and Rias and her girls could sense that Sona's heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
"I have my reasons."
"We are wedded, and protecting Sona and the school where Sona's dreams lie is my responsibility. Is there a problem with that?"
Tenraku replied calmly, while SitriSona quietly turned away.
A little surprised, Tenraku found Sona's reaction a bit strange. Had he said something wrong?
Just as Tenraku was about to say something else, Ile seemed to notice something—
"Ah, look, it's that big stupid dragon!"
Hearing Ile's exclamation, everyone looked over, only to see black clouds gathering in the sky, forming the shape of Grendel...
