In a daze, Himeragi Yukina heard such a voice in her ear.
For some reason, she subconsciously obeyed the voice and rushed towards Lion Gold, covering one hand with dark power and landing it directly on Lion Gold's head.
'Roar~'
With an angry roar, the Lion King roared in fury.
However, its magic began to disappear rapidly afterward.
The Gluttony Commandment can devour all magic power. This 'magic nullification' does not make magic power disappear, but rather it will devour some of that magic power.
As for this magic, it is all nourishment for the discipline. After being absorbed by the discipline, it is then fed back to its host, Himeragi Yukina.
This is why Kong Yang gave the Gluttony Commandment to Himeragi Yukina. Although she is quite strong and can use the Snow Wolf, she is too weak. The Gluttony Commandment can help her become stronger.
The dark power brought by the precepts is ultimately an external force, not a power that belongs to Yukina Himeragi herself.
In just a few seconds, the Lion's Gold vanished amidst a mournful cry.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Lion Gold died, but rather that it returned to Kojou Akatsuki's body because its magic power was exhausted.
The familiars themselves need magic power to descend into this world. When the magic power is exhausted, they naturally disappear. However, they can still reappear the next time they are summoned.
However, Yukina Himeragi single-handedly and easily defeated the Lion-Golden Lion that Kojou Akatsuki had just awakened, which shocked everyone.
"This guy is a real monster."
Nangong Nayue murmured, looking at Himeragi Yukina, who at this moment resembled a witch even more than herself.
Meanwhile, Kong Yang looked at Xiao Gucheng in front of him with a smile on his face.
However, to Xiao Gucheng, that smile was nothing short of mockery. Even one of Kong Yang's servants could defeat his familiar, so he didn't even need to lift a finger.
This made Akatsuki feel very frustrated. His familiar, which he had just awakened by absorbing Yuri Haba's blood, was just dealt with like that?
"To put some pressure on you, Akatsuki, I'm going to give you a gift."
'Pfft~'
After saying that, he swung his Noble Phantasm across the chest, tearing a huge wound in Kojou Akatsuki's chest.
Originally, Kojou Akatsuki, who possessed the 'Curse of God', would not die. Even if he were dismembered, his body and blood would return to normal, and most of the wounds would be meaningless to him.
However, this weapon actually countered him, preventing the vampire from recovering his regenerative abilities.
The Blade of Immortality, a divine sword from Greek mythology, is uniquely shaped like a scythe. This sword possesses the power to nullify immortality, and wounds inflicted upon it are absolutely irreparable.
In Greek mythology, the hero Perseus used this method to cut off the head of the sleeping Medusa.
This treasure is what Kong Yang used to provoke Xiao Gucheng. Don't think that just because you're a True Ancestor, you're immortal. I have plenty of ways to kill you.
"That's about it for today, Kong Yang."
Nangong Nayue finally spoke up, after all, Xiaogucheng was her student no matter what.
As a teacher, she couldn't stand by and watch her students being tortured.
"Well, since you've already spoken up, let's leave it at that."
Kong Yang had originally planned to leave him with something memorable, but upon hearing Nangong Nayue's voice, he stopped.
Chapter Forty: The Invitation!
For a whole week, Xiaogucheng did not come to the school again.
It was one thing to be defeated by Kong Yang, but as the Fourth True Ancestor, his awakened familiar was actually defeated by a little girl.
This had a huge impact on Kojou Akatsuki, especially since Yukina Himeragi and her younger sister Nagisa Akatsuki were in the same grade, or even the same class.
The Fourth True Ancestor, Akatsuki, became withdrawn as a result.
The office of Nangong Nayue at Caihai Academy is quite lively now.
There were five people in the office: Nangong Nayue, Kong Yang, Ye Se Xia Yin, Himeragi Yukina, and Kirasaka Sayaka. The office, which was the most spacious and best in Saikai Academy, was surprisingly crowded.
"Kong Yang, what exactly are you trying to do?"
"Hmm? What are you doing? Nothing much, just playing around. This world is so interesting, it would be a shame not to have some fun."
"That guy Xiaogucheng doesn't even want to go out because of you, are you just playing around?"
"That guy? He's already getting discouraged? I'm really disappointed."
Kong Yang thought that it was a waste for the power of the Fourth True Ancestor to fall into the hands of such a guy.
However, in the end, from the very beginning, Kojou Akatsuki was just an ordinary high school student. Due to the choice of fate, he became the Fourth Progenitor by a twist of fate.
Sometimes Kong Yang thought that if things didn't work out, he should just take the power of the Fourth True Ancestor for himself.
It's such a pity that such powerful strength has fallen into the hands of such a guy.
Moreover, no matter what world it is, there will be hidden quests, and killing the protagonist is definitely a hidden quest, the kind that you don't even need to think about.
'Swish~'
Just then, a small bird shikigami flew in through the window and landed directly on Nangong Nayue's table.
After landing, the shikigami turned into an envelope with a crest on it.
Kong Yang didn't recognize him, but everyone else did, especially Nangong Nayue.
"That snake charmer actually came to Itogami Island."
Nangong Nayue's expression turned serious; the letter was an invitation.
The invitation was sent by none other than Demitriel Vatra, a vampire noble from the War King Domain to which the First True Ancestor belonged.
Dimitriye Vatra, Duke of the Duchy of Ordiaru, the Domain of the War King.
Known as the vampire closest to the True Ancestor, he once devoured two vampire elders and possessed immense power.
As for Vatra, Natsuki was naturally familiar with him. Whether it was during the mission to attack the Demon Official or at the 'Feast of Flames', she had come into contact with Vatra more than once.
In her eyes, Vatra was a madman, a madman who existed only for fighting.
Most importantly, this guy devours his own kind and also harbors ambitions for the 'blood' of the Fourth Ancestor.
This is also a characteristic of vampires. There are only two ways to become stronger: generally, they can only accumulate power by surviving for a long time and absorbing blood, or they can become strong enough to devour other vampires to enhance their own power.
Vatra, however, chose the latter, becoming a madman who devoured his own kind, including two elders.
Nangong Nayue had absolutely no liking for this guy, especially vampires, particularly powerful ancient vampires, who were all tired of living.
For people like Vatora, the long life had robbed them of their joy.
Therefore, fighting, especially life-or-death battles, has become his only pleasure and pursuit.
Upon opening the invitation, Nangong Nayue immediately curled her lip. The letter was simple: this nobleman from the War King realm had come here to host a banquet.
They invited Nangong Nayue, the witch from the gap, to participate, and also invited Kong Yang, the monster who suddenly appeared.
Despite the Lion King Organization's deliberate attempts to intercept him, Kong Yang's existence has become known to many important figures worldwide, especially the three True Ancestors, who learned of his existence immediately.
Especially now that Xiao Gucheng, as the fourth True Ancestor, has been defeated by Kong Yang time and time again, Kong Yang's reputation has soared even higher.
"It's a banquet, Yue-chan, are you going?"
"You want to go?"
"Dimitriye Vatra, this guy is pretty strong, he should be a good punching bag."
"Alright, since you're interested, I'll go with you."
Considering Kong Yang's strength, Nangong Nayue suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for the scene of Kong Yang defeating Vatra.
She had long wanted to kill this scoundrel who was like a smiling tiger, but because of his identity, his own strength, and her own position, she could only think about it.
"By the way, Natsuki-chan, do you think Akatsuki Kojou will receive an invitation?"
"Of course. No matter what, Xiaogu City is the Fourth True Ancestor. Even if he is still half-baked, he still has to be very proper in his manners."
"Then I'll look forward to it. It would be very interesting to meet at a banquet."
What are you thinking about now?
"I haven't used my familiar since I signed the contract."
"Don't mention familiars. You're not even a vampire, yet you can control familiars. What kind of monster are you?"
A being comparable to a vampire, a near-eternal monster, yet not even a vampire—Kong Yang's secrets are becoming increasingly numerous.
The more you try to explore, the deeper you'll get, and the more mysterious Kong Yang will seem.
"Brother Kong Yang, may I attend the banquet?"
At this moment, Natsumi Yase said with interest, "I've never attended a banquet before, not even once in my life."
"Of course, I have to bring my Xia Yin, even if I don't bring anyone else."
"Thank you, Brother Kong Yang."
Looking at Ye Se Natsume, who was practically radiating holy light, Nangong Nayue curled her lip, thinking that Kong Yang was nothing but an animal.
He's only fourteen! You bastard, you've already made a move on him, and you've even made a little girl care about him so much. You're utterly shameless.
As for Himeragi Yukina and Kirasaka Sayaka, they didn't speak from the beginning because they were the lowest in status here, serving as servants.
Of course, Himeragi Yukina is a little better off, as she is Kong Yang's discipline messenger and can be considered one of their own.
Only Sayaka Kirasaka, due to her personality and the fact that she was a member of the Lion King Organization, was always the one who suffered losses and was ostracized by Kong Yang.
This made Sayaka Kirasaka grit her teeth in anger every day, vowing to take revenge, because Kong Yang was truly hateful.
But she didn't realize that, without her noticing, she had gradually stopped rejecting Kong Yang.
Chapter 41 The Conditions of the Lion King Organization!
In the waters surrounding Itogami Island, a luxurious ocean liner gradually sailed into the island's territory.
The ship, named 'Tomb of the Ocean', is over 400 feet long and is a giant ocean-going yacht.
This ocean tomb is definitely an extremely luxurious ship.
The owner of this ship was none other than Dimitri Vatra from the War King's Domain, the vampire noble Lord Ordiaru from the War King's Domain.
At the bow of the ship, Vatra, dressed in a pristine white suit, held a glass of red wine in his hand.
"We've finally arrived at Itogami Island. Fourth Progenitor, we're finally going to meet again."
'Swish~'
At this moment, Xian Gu Yong appeared on this 'Sea Tomb'.
Vatra was not surprised at all; in fact, he looked at Xian Guyong with a smile.
"Lord Shigano, the leader of the three saints of the Lion King Organization, I have truly failed to greet you properly."
"Vatra, it's been a long time."
"Yes, this is the first time we've met since the Feast of Flames."
"Yes."
"So, what brings you here?"
Xian Guyong didn't say much, but took a document from his pocket and handed it to Vatra.
Vatra took it but didn't open it, because he knew what was inside.
“Starting from midnight today, Vatra, you are allowed to visit Itogami Island. From now on, in accordance with the Sanctuary Treaty, you will be the diplomatic envoy of the War King’s domain.”
"A diplomatic envoy, that's good, it saves a lot of trouble."
"However, there is one condition."
"Conditions? Tell me."
"I need you to do something."
"Do something? What else does the Lion King Organization need me to do?"
"Today, that mysterious and powerful figure who calls himself the Demon King will be here to attend your banquet. We hope that you can fight him."
"Are you planning to use my strength to test the opponent's strength?"
