Is Chapter 420 really over already?
"This magic... is really powerful."

On the rooftop of the apartment, Aize, facing the wind and confronting two uninvited guests, watched helplessly as the two unleashed astonishing magical power, and couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both feelings and reflection).

In terms of magical power alone, these two have already surpassed the level of divine beasts. Even if they haven't reached the level of god-slayers and disobedient gods, they are still beings that humans in the god-slayer world absolutely cannot contend with.

Based on this alone, the origins of these two people are by no means simple.

"Not only are they pure-blooded vampires from the aristocratic class, but they have also lived for over a hundred years."

Pureblood vampires of the old generation!
The two people in front of me, in terms of background alone, are definitely no less than Dimitriye Vatra!

Dimitriye Vatra was originally just a pure-blooded nobleman, a distant descendant of the third-generation elders. If he hadn't devoured two elder-class vampires, he would never have been much stronger than the two in front of him.

The vampires of the old generation were already very strong, and could easily wipe out a small village. If this vampire of the old generation was a direct descendant of the True Ancestor, a pure-blooded vampire, or a noble, then even if he couldn't destroy the entire Itogami Island, he could still severely damage it.

These two powerful vampires were merely Vatra's close guards, which gives you an idea of ​​his status in the War King's domain.

Of course, the two pure-blooded old-generation vampires in front of them had no way of knowing the feelings in Azer's heart.

"Fire Net Corridor!"

The gentle youth summoned the familiar residing in his blood, causing blood mist to fly from his fingertips.

The red mist transformed into scorching lava, spreading out like a spider web.

At the center of the spider web, a spider-like familiar with a captivating amber glow and a lava-like body appeared amidst immense magical power.

"Demon King's Strike!"

The aggressive youth was not to be outdone, and the astonishing magic he released materialized, causing a huge raptor shrouded in light to appear.

The raptor's physical form was a high-density demonic flame reaching tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, which emitted a scorching flash that instantly dispelled the chill of the night.

"Rumble..."

The appearance of two powerful beasts caused the air to rumble, and the apartment beneath their master's feet trembled slightly, with the tremors intensifying.

This made Aize frown.

"Snapped!"

Without any hesitation, Aize suddenly clasped his hands together, releasing a surge of rich spiritual energy.

"Om-"

An orange, transparent barrier suddenly rose from all around the rooftop, enveloping the entire rooftop.

Thanks to this, the astonishing magical power released by the two old-generation vampires from the War King realm was isolated, and the power of the two familiars was also suppressed within this small barrier, no longer affecting the outside world.

The shaking of the apartment then stopped and did not intensify.

"Hey you guys, could you please be more mindful of your surroundings?"

Aize, who had intervened several times in the world of Godkillers, including but not limited to causing tsunamis, blizzards, storms, and the destruction of an entire Sun City, issued a similar condemnation.

Unfortunately, the eyes of the two nobles from the War King realm had turned blood red, symbolizing the ferocity of vampires, and they unhesitatingly commanded their respective familiars to launch an attack.

The Flame Web Corridor shot out spider silk composed of scorching lava, while the Demon Strike Tyrant King transformed into a blazing flash of light, shooting towards Azer at a terrifying speed that could travel hundreds of meters in an instant, carrying demonic flames.

The aftershocks from the two beast companions' attack were incredibly powerful; if not for the barrier, they would have destroyed half of the apartment building in an instant.

Faced with such an astonishing offensive, even the strongest human magic users at the level of the Three Saints would have to consider whether a head-on confrontation would be disadvantageous to them.

But Aize didn't dodge at all, nor did he even retreat. Instead, he slowly walked towards the two beasts that had launched the attack.

"Swish, swish, swish—!"

The next second, the lava spider silk of the spider-like familiar released by the gentle boy arrived first, landing on Aize with a whooshing sound.

The temperature of the lava spider silk was terrifyingly high. Although it wasn't as high as the Demon King's silk, which reached tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, it was still enough to melt steel and cut iron, easily slicing a human body into countless pieces.

However, these very lava spider silks melted the moment they touched Azer's body.

Following closely behind was a high-density demonic flame reaching tens of thousands of degrees Celsius. The scorching flashes that it transformed into were immediately repelled the moment they came into contact with Azer, as if they had encountered their natural enemy.

"what?!"

"this……!"

The expressions of the two boys who launched the attack, whether gentle or aggressive, changed drastically at that moment.

"He used his body to repel the familiar...?!"

"How can it be……!"

They could hardly believe their eyes.

But as they were in disbelief, Aize, who had been walking slowly ahead, suddenly disappeared.

Is it really that unbelievable?

A faint voice came from behind the two of them.

"In the end, so-called familiars are nothing more than clumps of magic power. Although they are very destructive, they are also easy to deal with."

"As long as you have resistance to magic or the means to eliminate magic, dealing with vampire familiars is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

"You're really lucky that you haven't encountered this type of enemy before."

Hearing the voice coming from behind them, the two old-generation vampires instantly felt their hair stand on end.

"Fire Net Corridor!"

The dreamlike beauty on the gentle boy's face vanished. Like a frightened bird, he transformed into mist and flew away, loudly calling out to his familiar. Within the spiderweb formed by lava spider silk, the spider-like familiar let out a hiss, raised its sharp spider legs, and fiercely pierced Aize.

"Steel King of Collapse!"

The aggressive youth lunged forward, creating distance between himself and Aize, while anxiously summoning another familiar.

It was a steel golem, about four or five meters tall, made of iron-gray ape materialized by dense magic.

As soon as the steel golem appeared, it immediately threw a heavy punch, which, along with the spider legs of its spider-like familiar, struck Azer.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the barrier surrounding the rooftop trembled violently, but it did not break.

The power unleashed by the two old-generation vampire familiars was firmly contained within the barrier, preventing it from penetrating and causing damage to the apartment.

"Shh!"

Aize's figure moved with the speed of a flash, catching up with the two old-generation vampires.

"------!"

As the two looked at Aize who had suddenly appeared in front of them, their pupils contracted sharply, and they instinctively spat out blood mist, preparing to summon other familiars to fight.

but……

"Too slow." Aize's hands were already touching their shoulders.

"Binding Path No. 63: Locks and Bindings".

The spiritual energy, like light, burst forth and quickly transformed into thick, snake-like chains of light, which traveled along the hand that was pressing down on the other's shoulder to the bodies of the two old-generation nobles.

Bound by the light-like chains, both the gentle boy who had turned into mist and the boy who had lunged forward were tightly bound.

Aize grabbed the other end of the chain and swung it hard, throwing the two bound together heavily to the ground.

"Oh!"

With a dull thud, the two old-generation vampires crashed to the ground, causing the barrier to tremble.

"cough……!"

Both of them coughed up blood at the same time and were instantly injured.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"...

At this moment, several silver flashes appeared, swiftly moving within the barrier, piercing through the familiars that were trying to rescue their two masters, mercilessly shredding the lava spider, the demonic flame raptor, and the steel golem.

The true form of the silver flashes was none other than the numerous silver short blades that split off from the Hundred-Type Heavy Armor Demon-Slaying Blade - Silver Flower Kirin.

Under the effect of the triple spatial severing technique, each silver short blade has the power to sever space, and even the familiars of pure-blooded vampires from the old generation cannot avoid being cut off.

Under such circumstances, the two nobles from the War King realm lost all ability to resist. They were dragged hard by Aize and pulled in front of him, falling to the ground in a sorry state.

"What? Is it over already?"

Looking at the two disheveled vampire nobles, Aize spoke with a half-smile.

"Didn't you say that you wouldn't need Vatra to personally deal with me?"

"Didn't you say this was a greeting that guy sent me?"

"Isn't this greeting a bit too rude? Does the Ophiuchus trust you too much, or does he underestimate me?"

The sarcastic remarks caused both boys to glare angrily at Aize.

Especially the aggressive boy, whose deep red eyes suddenly shone with a bewitching and eerie light.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"...

A silver flash suddenly flew in, mercilessly piercing through the boy's arms, thighs, shoulders, and abdomen, instantly leaving him riddled with holes and covered in blood.

“Ahhhhhhh…!”

The boy immediately let out a painful howl, which made the gentle boy next to him change his expression.

"Can an invisible familiar invade the mind of an enemy whose eyes meet yours and control their consciousness?" Aize looked at this scene expressionlessly and said, "That's quite something, but it's useless to me."

Even without strong resistance to curses, the spirit and self of a god-slayer are extremely difficult to invade and control. Unless it involves divine power in this regard, it is by no means easier to shake the spirit and self of a god-slayer than to control a disobedient god.

Azer then summoned all the silver short blades and combined them in his hands, eventually forming a single silver blade that gleamed with a cold arc of light under the moonlight.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate. Since you have taken the initiative to provoke me, then I will go and see the master you serve."

Aize dispelled the barrier, and as the orange, transparent screen slowly descended, he turned his gaze toward the port.

His eyes, shimmering with silver light under the moonlight, were both incredibly bright and incredibly cold.

…………

The top deck of the Deep Ocean Tomb at Itogami Island Port.

The party wasn't over yet, and Vatra, the party's host, was still at the bow of the ship, standing against the wind, holding a glass of red wine in one hand and gently swirling it.

"Boom..."

A dull sound suddenly rang out behind Vatra, accompanied by two familiar, distressed voices. Vatra's hand, which was swirling the wine glass, abruptly stopped, and his eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

"What a fine mood you are in, Lord Ordiaru."

A voice, which was unfamiliar yet instantly recognizable as belonging to someone else, rang out behind Vatra.

"While your invited guests are downstairs indulging in revelry or discussing what they consider sophisticated topics, you, the host of the party, are here taking a stroll?"

"Is it that boring for you?"

"No wonder they sent two henchmen to disturb our sleep; they just need to have some fun."

Upon hearing these words, Vatra laughed.

They were laughing happily and joyfully.

He slowly turned around and looked at the deck behind him.

There, on a white sun lounger, a boy in an out-of-place school uniform lay, looking relaxed and content, as if he had been sunbathing there for a long time.

However, next to the white sun chair, his two bodyguards were tightly bound by light-like chains, some in a sorry state and others covered in wounds, lying directly on the deck, struggling desperately.

"Clap-pop-pop-"

Seeing this, Vatra was not annoyed at all; instead, he clapped with delight.

"That was truly impressive. To defeat the assassin I sent so easily, you truly live up to your reputation as the legendary Chaos Dragon. You are indeed extraordinary!"

Vatra said this with delight, showing no anger whatsoever at the fact that his men were tied up and thrown to the ground.

"You're just like the rumors say, a complete battle maniac, a pure madman."

With his hands behind his head, Aize didn't look like he was there to confront someone; he looked more like he was on vacation.

"Aren't there plenty of powerful individuals in the War King's Domain?"

"Whether it's the third-generation elders or the second-generation princes and princesses, aren't there still many there?"

"Even if all else fails, there's still the First True Ancestor Forgotten War King. If you want to fight, if you want to battle, go find them. Isn't it too much trouble for you to come all the way to Itogami Island to find us?"

Aize's ambiguous words were met with only a nonchalant response from Vatra.

“Those people are indeed my targets, but with the old man watching, I can’t just act recklessly. It’s better to come and see the legendary Fourth True Ancestor and the Chaos Dragon. Maybe they can bring me some surprises.”

"As it turns out, I was right, wasn't I?"

"I haven't even met my beloved Fourth Progenitor yet, but her Watcher has already displayed a power that fills me with ecstasy."

Vatra was indeed as ecstatic as he had said.

"How about I experience the power of the world's strongest magical beast right here?"

The dangerous and deadly atmosphere was instantly created by Vatra.
