Dawn.

The newly risen sun slowly sprinkled its gentle sunlight onto the pitch-black earth, which had been shrouded by night.

Although light had appeared, it was, after all, the light of early dawn.

Apart from the slightly brightened sky, the city of Tours was still in a pitch-black, deep night environment. Therefore, Château de Villandry was naturally in a state where one couldn’t see their hand in front of their face.

However, the dim environment had no effect on Haru. Relying solely on True Ancestor characteristics, he ignored the dark environment.

Haru, hands in his pockets, a blade of grass casually plucked from outside the garden dangling from his mouth, leisurely walked down the stone steps towards the castle.

“As expected of a famous garden, not even a single weed. Made me have to go outside to pluck one.”

Haru’s voice echoed in the empty flowerbeds.

Originally, such a famous scenic spot should have dedicated guards even at dawn. However, due to the Dispelling Bystanders effect from a certain great Magus at the top of the castle tower—this place was deserted.

Haru narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing at the castle tower not far away. As soon as he was spied upon using Ley lines, he had begun attempting to reverse-track the caster through the rules of the earth.

But the opponent’s experience was exceptionally rich, their methods extremely sophisticated. Though conceptually they should have been countless levels below Haru, they had managed to hide for a full ten minutes.

“Well, probably some old undying geezer who’s lived for thousands of years,” Haru shrugged, not particularly angry. He, who had just passed thirty, would naturally be somewhat lacking in experience and methods compared to such an old undying being.

Haru withdrew his hands from his pockets, staring at the top of the tower. There, a figure, though very cleverly hidden, stood out exceptionally clearly in Haru’s eyes.

Suddenly, strange crimson patterns appeared on the ground tens of meters in front of Haru.

The figures of Merem and Gransurg abruptly appeared there…

Immediately following was the sudden eruption of Ley line energy.

With the Loire River as the base point, the Ley line power converging from the entire country of France suddenly stagnated.

Subsequently, a Ley line teleportation sigil tens of meters large appeared out of thin air above the tower.

Bang—!

An explosive sound, like glass shattering, abruptly echoed.

The invisible ripple originally spread throughout Tours via the Ley lines suddenly contracted, returning to the sky above the tower, which served as its center, in an instant, then slowly disappeared.

“Ah oh, national-level Ley line teleportation? And directly detonating the Dispelling Bystanders technique? This guy prepared for a long time, huh? Quite decisive…” Haru looked astonishedly at the tower, a section of which had been erased, and muttered.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Streetlights, electric lights, and other artificial lights suddenly lit up. The entire city of Tours was plunged into a brightly lit state, accompanied by the sound of “Woo-woo” “Woo-woo” sirens.

To ensure their own interests, the existence of the Mystery side was not allowed to appear in the sight of a large number of ordinary people. And if one wanted to catch up with the fleeing Magus, a large-scale technique with considerable commotion was essential.

The opponent’s intention was very clear: use normal people to restrict pursuit techniques, while also diverting two people to intercept Haru, buying time for themselves to escape.

“However, remembering the aura is enough,” The corners of Haru’s mouth lifted slightly as he spoke teasingly. He then twisted his neck, focusing his gaze on Merem and Gransurg before him.

“Isn’t this Merem and some unknown birdman?” Haru lifted his hand, waving at the two.

——

“Bird-Head, how’s your recovery?”

Merem turned his head, looking bitterly at Gransurg. Although they initially didn’t have much confidence in killing Altrouge, based on calculations, they could at least severely injure her again.

But they never imagined they would suffer a major defeat this time, unable even to injure Altrouge. One must know, this time he had joined forces with both the Black and White Wing Lords and the Burial Agency, yet they couldn’t even inflict a trace of damage. Merem suffered a huge blow.

“Used my last resort. Recovered over 90%. What about you?” Gransurg slowly stood up, waved his newly regenerated arm, and spoke with anger.

“The three main combat demons are all crippled. Summoning them out will probably take about 10 minutes. But, was it necessary to use your last resort to recover? We’re already… safe…”

Merem looked astonishedly at Gransurg beside him, then followed his gaze to Haru’s figure.

“Damn it! That Trhvmn!!!” Merem immediately leaped up, greenish veins bulging all over his face.

Blue light instantly covered his entire body.

The ethereal figures of the three great demons immediately appeared beside him.

“Narbareck lost? That’s right too. After all, she’s from the Church. It’s normal for her not to be a match for you, a guy who seems like a God,” Gransurg’s face was incredibly gloomy.

The moment Haru’s figure appeared in his sight, how could he not understand Trhvmn’s intentions? That cautious guy was an old fox who wouldn’t make a move without at least an eighty percent certainty.

Seeing he wasn’t Haru’s match, to escape with his life, he would naturally use them as cannon fodder. After all, they were also hostile relations—he wouldn’t feel any soft-heartedness in screwing them over.

“Well, originally, seeing Altrouge having fun fighting, I didn’t interfere. But since I bumped into you, I might as well solve it conveniently,” Haru looked indifferently at Gransurg and Merem, speaking coolly.

“Don’t underestimate me!!!” The veins on Merem’s face bulged again.

The King of Sky and King of Land emerged from mid-air, roaring as they charged towards Haru.

At the same time, red light emanated from Gransurg’s pupils. Shadows instantly filled the sky. Crimson bird pupils spread everywhere, demonic pupils filled with an aura of death all reflecting Haru’s face.

Twelve full moons abruptly appeared beside Haru. A savage, crimson giant dragon appeared behind Haru, spreading its sky-obscuring wings.

“Gravity — Ten Thousand Fold.”

Schlick—! Schlick—!

The Figment Demons and the crows filling the sky instantly dissipated. Only a writhing lump of minced meat remained on the ground, slowly beginning to regenerate.

“Well, solved two. Then!” Haru extended his hand.

A divine blade radiating brilliant platinum light slowly emerged, then transformed into a pair of bow and arrow wreathed in pitch-black flames.

His pupils instantly turned golden, iridescent light slowly emanating.

[Connect to Counter Force Record—Search Target Based on Aura—Lock Target]

His pupils reflected the figure of Trhvmn moving at high speed in the deep old forests of Siberia. Haru, for the first time in a long while, chanted an incantation.

[Arrow of the Hero who Shot Down Nine Suns! Please bestow this miracle upon me!!!]

The pitch-black space instantly dissipated.

The next moment, an incomparably massive mushroom cloud abruptly rose over Siberia.
