"Tired...tired...it's such a strange feeling, my body feels warm...I feel like the energy inside me is fuller..."

The kitten felt confused because its body was full of energy, but its mind was exhausted.

Kuroba let out a wicked laugh upon hearing this.

"This is also a form of cultivation, you know? In a sense, my 'bedroom arts' might be even more powerful than yours, little cat."

Upon hearing this, the kitten immediately blushed and, as if possessed, softly uttered a sentence.

"Then... I want to become stronger..."

As the seductive words were uttered, the kitten's suppressed whimpers immediately filled the bathroom and lingered for a long time.

Once everything had calmed down, the kitten, struggling with its weak and trembling body, pulled Black Feather to Azazel in the room.

"Teacher, please do another check on Kuroba."

Upon hearing the name "cat," Azazel already anticipated something, so she didn't waste any more words and continued to examine Black Feather.

The results of the examination also brought Azazel some pleasant surprise.

"Your physical condition is starting to improve, but you still need to keep your magic off-limits. Try to refine the Draig within you, and at the same time... make this kind of rest a regular part of your daily routine as much as possible."

As part of daily routines...

Upon hearing this, the kitten, who had been very happy, immediately stood up straight and her fur bristled, and her face visibly flushed with embarrassment.

Azazel looked at Kuroba meaningfully and smiled.

Little devil, you're amazing.

Kuroba clearly saw Azazel's lips moving.

Chapter 186 Stealing Food is No Longer Allowed

"call..."

The training ground in the basement.

Kuroba snapped out of his meditative state.

This is a strict requirement of Sazex that it must be part of his daily practice.

After all, Sazex needed to know about such a significant matter. Moreover, Sazex was also a master of using the power of destruction. The power of destruction within Kuroba was similar to that within him and Rias, but not entirely the same.

However, Sazex has considerable experience in how to wield the power of destruction.

"Alala...Thank you for your hard work, Kuroba."

Akane stayed quietly by Kuroba's side, watching until Kuroba completely broke out of his meditative state before she smiled sweetly and asked him a question.

Kuroba stretched lazily and looked at Akeno beside him with a smile.

"Zhunai, you don't need to stay with me. Don't you find it boring?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Nai snuggled into Kuroba's arms, revealing a rare adorable side as she spoke.

"No way! I'll never be bored by your side. In fact, I'm very content to be able to spend this quiet time with you during holidays."

After lying there quietly for a while, Zhu Nai suddenly sat up.

She looked at Kuroba's somewhat bewildered expression and smiled slyly.

"Kuroba...want to sneak a bite?"

Cheating?

Kuroba stared at Akeno in astonishment.

What kind of insane and lewd words are these, Zhu Nai?

It sounds weird... weirdly exciting...

"How...how did you steal the food?"

"Of course it is..."

Just as Akane was crawling seductively toward Kuroba, both of their phones rang at the same time.

Upon hearing the bell, Akane's interest vanished instantly, because the bell was quite special, and whenever it rang, it meant there was a mission.

"Alright, this is disappointing... but the mission is important, so I'll just have to try again next time."

After gently lifting Kuroba's chin with her finger, Akane stood up and went to the meeting place with Kuroba.

As she reached the stairwell, Zhu Naiyan turned back and glanced at Hei Yu.

"Kuroba, let's go on a date tomorrow?"

Kuroba was taken aback by the sudden suggestion, then smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Okay."

An abandoned factory in the suburbs.

Rias and all her retinue were present.

The moon hung high in the night sky, its cool light shining through the dilapidated roof and into the factory interior.

The factory was now filled with a chilling atmosphere, and an undisguised killing intent surged toward Rias and the others from all directions.

"Isn't this someone from the Gremory family? Your dog noses are certainly sharp enough."

A man dressed in night clothes slowly emerged from the darkness that the night could not cover. As the man appeared, countless humanoid monsters appeared around him, filling the ground, beams and everything else that could be occupied.

Rias watched this scene without any surprise, and she coldly shouted.

"Another hero from the Calamity Clan, huh? I am Rias Gremory, a high-ranking demon responsible for protecting this town."

Upon hearing Rias introduce herself, the man laughed contemptuously. In the moonlight, Kuroba could clearly see the look in his eyes, which was as disdainful as if he were looking at an ant.

"Of course I know you, the Demon King's sister... Our goal is to purge you filthy demons and restore peace to this town."

Hearing this, Kuroba pursed his lips helplessly, mainly because he had heard this conversation far too often lately.

The Heroic Faction of the Calamity Clan has sprung up like mushrooms after rain since the fall of the Old Demon King's faction, and recently, they have been launching frequent attacks on this town.

According to intelligence, their targets are not limited to this town; all the strongholds of the three major forces have been attacked by the Hero Faction to varying degrees.

Their men seem inexhaustible, one wave after another. If you don't defend, they become increasingly unrestrained; if you defend, they're like burrowing rats, always running away mid-battle. It's infuriating!

What's most troublesome is that every member of this heroic faction is a wielder of a divine artifact, yet they never engage in direct combat. Instead, they send the humanoid monsters around them to lead the charge. Each of these humanoid monsters possesses the strength of a mid-level demon, making them somewhat difficult to deal with.

Black Feather and his group were relatively easy to deal with. Black Feather's physical strength alone was enough to contend with many humanoid monsters. However, not all the other strongholds had such strength, which caused quite a commotion within the hero faction.

"boom...."

With a low hum of burning flames.

White flames erupted from the man's body, and then bursts of magical fire energy condensed in front of him, shooting towards Rias and the others.

As the magic bullets exploded, the battle seemed to begin, and the humanoid monsters roared and charged towards Rias and the others.

Yuuki and Xenovia, who had already assumed a fighting stance, immediately gripped their holy swords and cleaved the fireballs in two. They even took the opportunity to cut the leading humanoid monsters in half at the waist.

"Yuki and Xenovia continue to break through, Koneko and Yuuma provide support on the wings, and Irina and Gaspar provide support as needed."

As soon as the battle began, Rias calmly and methodically issued her orders.

Seeing this, Kuroba, who was standing next to her, also planned to rush up.

Rias hesitated for a moment and said softly.

"Please note..."

Kuroba waved without turning his head.

"Do not worry."

As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the king. Since Black Feather couldn't use his magic at will, he didn't intend to get entangled with those lackeys who would turn to ashes if they died. He set his sights directly on the black-clad man standing at the back.

The man in black naturally saw Hei Yu running towards him, and a triumphant smile appeared on his lips.

Seeing the man's smile, Kuroba became even more vigilant.

But to his surprise, the attack did not come from the front.

Rather, it came from his shadow.

When Kuroba sensed a strong sense of danger coming from behind him, he jumped to the side without thinking.

The sharp sword energy grazed Hei Yu's cheek, causing him pain but also surprising him.

He was very familiar with this sword aura; it was Yuuki's move...

"Be careful, there's more than one of them! The other person's artifact might have an absorption and reflection effect; I almost got hit by Yuuki's sword."

Kuroba immediately shouted after realizing the problem.

"Tch...did you notice?"

The man in black clicked his tongue, and then a man wearing sunglasses stepped out from beside him. Clearly, the attack from the shadows earlier was caused by this man.

Chapter 187 You're a Little Rich Woman

After Kuroba discovered the fatal blow that they had originally intended to conceal, the threat posed by those who played with fire and those who played with shadows began to decrease linearly.

As the henchmen disappeared one by one, the members of the two hero factions were also surrounded and attacked by Hei Yu and his men.

"what!"

With a sharp shout from the kitten, the man playing with fire was instantly knocked unconscious by the hidden energy within the kitten.

Of everyone present, only the one who played with shadows remained.

Seeing that something was wrong, he let out a strange cry and merged into the shadows, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"They ran away again..."

Kuroba looked at this scene with a headache and said.

If we had magic, we could find him, but what a pity.
