Time seemed to slow down dramatically at that moment.
The crimson demonic spear of destruction pierced through the first, second, and third layers of wings with an unreasonable force...
For the first time, Kirkbor's face, which was etched with arrogance and madness, was replaced by shock and disbelief.
"No! Impossible!"
Boom-! ! ! !
After the extreme silence came a delayed, earth-shattering explosion!
A small mushroom cloud rose slowly in the center of the square!
A storm of energy, interwoven with crimson and pitch black, swept across the entire arena with unstoppable force!
Whether it was Kiba Yuuto, who was fighting the hellhound, or Sona Student Council, who was forming a defensive formation, they were all blown away by this terrifying shockwave!
"puff--"
Rias coughed up a mouthful of blood, her body could no longer support her, and she fell backward.
A strong arm caught her just in time.
It's Himejima Akeno.
She too fell from the sky due to the shockwave, and blood was also hanging from the corner of her mouth, but she still rushed to Lia's side immediately.
"Rias, are you alright?"
"I...I'm not dead yet." Rias gasped for breath, her eyes fixed on the smoke-filled center of the battlefield.
"Hmm, it's alright."
Zhou Ye, sitting in the stands, shifted to a more comfortable position and leaned back.
[He knows how to compress energy and perform a single-point explosion now, at least he's not just randomly spraying water. However, his magic control is still too rough, wasting at least 30%. If it were me, this shot would have sent him back to the womb.]
[Sona's command was good, and her timing was excellent. Akeno's harassment was also just right. The teamwork deserves a 70 out of 100, no more. Rias's individual performance was barely passing.]
He glanced at Nami, who was also watching with great interest.
"Add another item to the bill: compensation for emotional distress. The reason is that the other party is too ugly and scared our manager."
"Yes, boss! I'll make him pay so badly he'll have to pawn his pants!"
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
In the center of the battlefield, a huge crater appeared.
Kokober knelt on one knee at the bottom of the pit.
His magnificent fallen angel robes were now tattered and torn.
What is most striking are the ten wings on his back.
The three wings on the left side had been completely torn apart from the root and disappeared without a trace, and black blood was dripping continuously from the wound.
The rest of the wings were also tattered and charred black.
Embarrassed.
An unprecedented state of disarray.
"Huh...huh..."
Kokober was breathing heavily. He slowly raised his head, and on his ugly face, a hideous wound stretched from his forehead to his chin, dripping with blood.
He looked at Rias and Akeno Himejima, who were supporting each other, and then at the little devils struggling to get up from the ground.
silence.
Dead silence.
Sudden.
"Ah……"
A low laugh escaped from his throat.
"Hehe...hehehehe..."
The laughter grew louder and louder, more and more frantic, until it finally turned into maniacal laughter that echoed through the night sky.
"Hahahaha! Excellent! Very good! Rias Gremory!"
He suddenly stood up, his tattered wings flapped forcefully, and powerful magic erupted once again!
"You've succeeded! You've thoroughly enraged me!"
His eyes were no longer arrogant as before, but a pure, mad desire to destroy everything!
"Do you think this is all the strength I have? Do you think I started this ridiculous war with just this?"
"How naive! How naive, you devilish little girls!"
Kokober spread his arms and roared to the sky.
"All of this is just foreplay! It's a sacrifice offered to the grand ceremony!"
With his roar, a sudden change occurred!
Centered on the deep pit beneath his feet, countless blood-red patterns instantly lit up the entire ground of Kuoh Academy!
These patterns spread rapidly, connecting with each other, and within seconds formed an enormous and malevolent magic circle covering the entire academy!
A chilling and terrifying aura rose from the magic circle!
Welcome to my altar!
Kokober floated in the center of the magic circle, arms outstretched, like a king embracing the world.
"Let all of you use your lives and souls to usher in the new era!"
He laughed wildly and snapped his fingers.
The magic circle is fully activated!
Chapter 187 The Mad Old Deng
Blood-red patterns, like ferocious blood vessels, pulsated across the ground of the entire Kuoh Academy, radiating an ominous light.
All the demons present felt a chill that came from the depths of their souls.
It was a chilling feeling of being examined as a trophy or a sacrifice by a higher being.
"What...what time is this?!"
For the first time, Cang Na's face lost all color.
Her prized calculation skills became a joke at this moment.
Her mind raced, but she couldn't find any information about the magic circle.
When was it carved?
Where is the source of energy?
What is the operating principle?
Everything is unknown.
"Hahahaha!" Kokober's maniacal laughter, amplified by the magic circle, echoed in everyone's ears, carrying a nauseating malice.
"When?"
He pointed to his head with his uninjured hand, his face full of undisguised mockery.
"While you little brats were still playing house, while you thought you could defeat me with your little bit of cleverness!"
"Is an instant-cast magic circle difficult?"
The sneer on his face vanished, replaced by an extreme coldness.
"I will kill both of you and refine you instantly!"
In the stands, Zhou Ye finally sat up straight, all traces of laziness vanishing from his face.
He didn't look at the battlefield below, but instead looked further away at the countless energy nodes hidden in every corner of Komao Town that resonated with the magic circle.
[So that's how it is. It wasn't instantaneous; it was remotely detonated.]
[This guy had long ago turned the entire town of Kuoh into his own powder keg, setting up backdoors at every leyline node. The battle just now was merely a ploy to put himself in the perfect detonation position.]
Zhou Ye stroked his chin, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
[Ruthless, foolish, and decisive. He calculated that even if he survived, that old fox Azazel would definitely dissect him for research, so he simply overturned the table and dragged everyone down with him.]
"Boss, things don't look good." Nami put away her little abacus and her expression turned serious.
"This magic circle feels like it could drain the entire academy dry."
"Suck it dry? That's too narrow-minded."
Zhou Ye pursed his lips.
"This is not absorption, it's refinement. He's pulverizing the soul, life force, magic, everything, and compressing it into the purest energy block. He wants to use the entire academy to give himself a supercharge."
"At that time, even if the power bank explodes, the power of the explosion will be enough to force the attention of all three forces to focus here."
The center of the battlefield.
Kirkbor's words confirmed Zhou Ye's guess.
"Why do you think I chose this place?"
He spread his tattered wings, greedily inhaling the panic and despair that filled the air.
"Koh Town, this city jointly managed by Gremory and Sid, what a perfect altar! The density of demons and the number of humans are just right!"
“I admit, I underestimated you. Especially you, Rias Gremory.”
His crazed eyes were fixed on Rias.
"But it doesn't matter anymore."
"That's enough about playing games."
