Without answering Himejima Akeno's question, Lynch's gaze remained fixed on Rias, clearly stating his stance and perfectly embodying the identity of a demon. While demons are often perceived as cunning and treacherous, they are also known to be simple-minded and never hypocritical; their true thoughts are always written on their faces, just like Lynch at this moment.
"This is a matter between the Phoenix and Gremory families, and it has nothing to do with you. No matter how interested you are in me, it won't make a difference."
Rias was relatively calmer about Lin Qi's appearance, but her gaze turned cold as she looked at him, clearly showing her displeasure at him eavesdropping on their conversation.
"How about this? I'll fight you first. If you win, I'll become your servant. If you lose, then you'll be my servant."
Lin Qi didn't intend to dwell on this issue. Instead, he revealed his true purpose and reason for coming here: this time, Lin Qi planned to win a girl back honorably!
"presumptuous!"
As soon as the neighbor finished speaking, Rias's family members were immediately enraged. To them, this was blatant disrespect to Rias!
"You seem to think too highly of yourself, and the stakes in this bet are not equal at all; in other words, you are simply not qualified."
Rias's gaze grew even colder, even carrying a hint of disdainful mockery. Her meaning was clear: the strength and status that Lin Qi had displayed were simply incomparable to the next head of the Gremory family.
"That's just your opinion. Perhaps I should show you whether my value is equivalent to that of the next head of the Gremory family."
Lin Qi smiled and didn't say anything more. Instead, he released the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Hand in his right hand.
"A divine artifact, the Dragon Hand? You didn't think that having a common Dragon Hand was equivalent to becoming the next head of the Gremory family, did you?"
While divine artifacts are rare, they are not exactly unheard of. The Crimson Dragon Emperor's Hand that Lin Qi used appeared to be just an ordinary dragon hand. The dragon hand is the lowest-level artifact, and Rias's familiars immediately revealed a disdainful smile.
"This is not an ordinary Dragon Hand, but the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet."
Lin Qi didn't explain, and still looked at Rias with a calm smile. Rias frowned as she looked at the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Hand in Lin Qi's hand, and suddenly a glint of light appeared in her eyes!
"What?! The Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets, one of the top thirteen God Destroy Gears?!"
Rias spoke, instantly causing several of her familiars to show expressions of shock!
"As expected, the next head of the Gremory family has a good eye. I haven't even entered the next stage of change yet, and you've already seen through the true nature of this artifact. But that's not all of its value to me."
Chapter 165 218
Himejima Akeno, who was preparing her ultimate move, suddenly noticed Lin Qi appear in front of her and panicked. She instinctively launched a counterattack, with a dense net of lightning enveloping the area in front of her. Lin Qi, however, had clearly anticipated this possibility. He activated Shadow Step and instantly dodged the lightning net attack, appearing behind Himejima Akeno. This was Lin Qi's most skillful tactic of baiting skills when facing mages!
"A mage who gets close to an assassin is no better than a dog. You're already dead."
A skilled mage would immediately turn and attack, or surround themselves with their attack range to prevent being ambushed again in a short time. However, it is clear that Himejima Akeno's current combat experience does not qualify her as a skilled mage.
After Lin Qi appeared behind her, he did not kill her. Instead, he used the Shadow Dagger to lightly touch her neck, leaving a red ink mark on it. At the same time, Lin Qi also lightly drew a red "x" on her back, indicating that he had hit her there as well.
"Boom!"
After finishing, Lin Qi naturally wouldn't forget to demonstrate his attack power. Lin Qi simply activated the amplification of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Hand and slammed his hand hard into the ground. With a muffled thud, a deep crater immediately appeared in the ground! If that attack had actually hit Himejima Akeno in the back, it would have been easy to pierce through her body.
When Himejima Akeno came to her senses, she first touched the red line on her neck, her face unusually pale. But when she saw the deep pit on the ground, she was still shaken. Just as Lin Qi had said, if Lin Qi had attacked her earlier, she would have been dead!
"Illusions upon illusions! Let me show you the fighting style of a berserker! Berserk! Leap Slash! Heavy Strike!"
After dealing with Himejima Akeno, the two of them had just escaped from the trap. Lin Qi turned his gaze to Toujou Koneko. Compared to Kiba Yuuto, who was at level 9 and at the third rank, Toujou Koneko was more threatening. This time, Lin Qi chose a wilder fighting style!
In an instant, he transformed into a berserker, donned a knight's sword, and upon getting close to Toujou Koneko, he rammed her away, sending her flying. Toujou Koneko only had time to raise her arms to protect herself before being knocked into a distant house.
"Blade Dance! Flash Thrust!"
After knocking Toujou Kita away with a single blow, Lin Qi did not continue the pursuit. Instead, he immediately activated another exclusive skill of the Berserker, conjuring countless sharp blades around his body that began to swirl. However, these blades did not cause much damage to Kiba Yuuto. Kiba Yuuto quickly drew his sword to block, but Lin Qi flashed behind him the instant Kiba Yuuto drew his sword to block, bringing the swirling blades with him and delivering another effective blow to Kiba Yuuto!
Although Kiba Yuuto's rank is the lowest among Rias's familiars, his combat skills are the most diverse. As soon as Lynch appeared behind him and began to attack, Kiba Yuuto turned around and thrust his sword at Lynch. Although he failed to hit Lynch, he blocked the swirling blades around Lynch.
Unfortunately, Lin Qi still had a knight's sword in his hand. As Kiba Yuuto blocked the spinning blade, Lin Qi thrust out the knight's sword and accurately struck Kiba Yuuto's back. Lin Qi defeated Kiba Yuuto by using only the simplest attack that exploited a blind spot.
"Shall we continue?"
After hitting Kiba Yuto, Lin Qi naturally stopped attacking and turned his gaze to Rias with a slight smile.
"I have never had the habit of surrendering..."
Rias's expression remained icy. Although she was prepared for defeat, she hadn't expected Lin Qi to act so unpredictably, instantly annihilating all her familiars simply by virtue of being a king! It was an instant kill; the battle ended in a mere minute! More importantly, she could clearly sense that Lin Qi hadn't even used his full strength!
Lynch's question further fueled Rias's deep-seated pride, prompting her to unleash her destruction magic against him. As the next head of the Gremory family, Rias's strength was undeniable, earning her the title of "Red-Haired Annihilation Queen"!
"So you've already lost, do you admit defeat?"
But before she could make a move, Lin Qi's voice appeared behind her. This time, Lin Qi had no weapon in his hand. He passed his hand in front of Rias, gently lifted her chin with his fingers and turned it around. Lin Qi then gently bit her ear and said something in a slightly teasing tone.
"I... lost."
Rias's face immediately turned pale and then red!
At this moment, Lynch appeared behind Rias with four pairs of bat wings spread out from his back! In Hell, the number of wings represents the level of strength, and four pairs of wings is already the highest level of a demon. Above that are the legendary Demon Kings and Transcendent Ones, who are beings that have already transcended the level of ordinary demons!
After a long silence, even the distant Toujou Koneko returned looking disheveled, and Rias reluctantly admitted defeat.
Rias's surrender immediately caused her three favorites to show a look of frustration. In their opinion, if they hadn't been so weak, Rias wouldn't have suffered such humiliation!
"If you can't even beat me, then you can forget about beating Riesel."
Although Lin Qi saw through the emotions of his followers, he showed no sympathy for them. Instead, he coldly stated the facts, which immediately made their gazes extremely hostile. At that moment, Lin Qi smiled and said what he really wanted to say: "If you want to win, I can help you. I will genuinely help you improve your strength, not just have my people help you win."
"Riesel won't give us that much time."
Rias forcefully opened Lynch's embrace, reverting to her aloof queenly demeanor. She shook her head slightly at Lynch. Rias was well aware of the potential of her familiars, but she needed more time, which was precisely what everyone currently lacked. Given Riesel's personality, he would soon complete the preliminary preparations and summon all the demon families to witness this grand exhibition match.
"My method won't take too much time, but it will cause some mental harm to you. You know, the hardest thing to overcome is yourself. It all depends on whether you're willing to fight yourselves. But to be honest, I think you'll all give up."
Lin Qi's lips curled slightly. He didn't intend to use the usual methods. He took the initiative to give everyone a heads-up and asked them a question with a provocative look in his eyes.
P.S.: I'm on a date! I'm on a date! I'm on a date! I want to share this happiness with everyone! Those schoolgirl lips are so soft and sweet!
Chapter 166 219
"We've all faced death, how could we possibly be unable to overcome ourselves?"
Although Lin Qi had kindly warned them, it was clear that no one believed him. To be precise, no one would doubt their own strength and ability in front of a stranger.
"Since it sounds so good, let's sign this contract first."
Lin Qi waved his hand dismissively, not caring whether they believed him or not. He simply took out the Dark Contract and said they could talk about it after signing it.
"This is……"
"You have to accept the consequences of your bet."
When Rias's familiars saw the Dark Contract, they were stunned. Their expressions turned angry and solemn. However, before they could speak, Rias signed her name on it. The Dark Contract took effect and transformed into a binding force that merged into her body.
Seeing that Rias had signed the contract, the three of them, as her familiars, gritted their teeth and also signed the dark contract. Himejima Akeno immediately questioned Lin Qi with a cold face: "Now can you tell us how to quickly increase our strength?"
Just after the four signed the Dark Contract, a smile appeared on Lynch's lips. The contract between familiars is actually very risky. The most obvious example is that after Riesel's sister was taken in as a familiar, she became his mother's familiar and eventually fell back into Hyoudou Issei's hands. So Lynch still chose the Dark Contract.
"Since you're so eager to know, I'll tell you the truth. But be prepared, what I'm about to say might be completely unacceptable to you."
"Humph!"
After everyone signed the Dark Pact, Lin Qi immediately stopped wasting time and, with a strange and mocking smile, gave everyone another warning. The response he received was, of course, a cold snort from the crowd.
"In general, each of you has deliberately given up or ignored your most important racial and bloodline talent skills for various reasons."
After a brief pause, Lin Qi went straight to the point. As soon as he finished speaking, Himejima Akeno and Toujou Koneko trembled slightly, as if some deep-seated secrets were about to be revealed.
"The simplest example is Himejima Akeno, who is called the 'Thunder Priestess' because of your lightning power. But don't forget that your lightning ability is not inherited from your human mother, but from your fallen angel father. It's just that you resent him for not rescuing your mother in time, and even hate the bloodline of the fallen angel. Therefore, even though you can use the power of light, you have always given up using this power. If you can overcome your psychological barrier and combine your lightning attribute with your light attribute at the same time, your strength will definitely make a breakthrough leap in a short period of time."
Lin Qi first turned his attention to Akeno Himejima, who was the strongest besides Rias.
Before Lin Qi could finish speaking, her eyes were filled with shock, and an uncontrollable surge of knowledge welled up within her, as if it were about to attack Lin Qi at any moment. However, the power of the Dark Contract prevented her from doing so. Himejima Akeno roared at Lin Qi almost hoarsely: "How did you know about this?!"
It has to be said that the power of mixed-race people is incredible. When Himejima Akeno was just the Thunder Priestess, her strength could already be described as OP. After she mastered and used the power of light and officially became the [Lightning Priestess], her strength was simply heaven-defying!
"The most powerful race among the cat demons is the Nekomata, and you are an even rarer Nekomata. It is foolish of you to give up using magic because of your sister. Like Himejima Akeno, all you need to do is regain this power. As for your resentment towards your sister and the Nekomata clan, let it go to hell."
"you……"
Lin Qi ignored Himejima Akeno's roar and turned his attention to Toujou Koneko, beginning to explain her situation. Toujou Koneko stared at Lin Qi with the same look of disbelief.
Simply put, Himejima Akeno and Toujou Koneko's experiences are quite similar. They both possess another powerful force within them, but they don't use it for some special reason. This force, once mastered by the two of them, would allow them to soar to great heights!
The only difference between the two is that one was affected by their father, while the other was affected by their sister. These two cases tell us that families should pay more attention to the psychological development of teenagers.
If Himejima Akeno's father forced himself on her like Akizuki Kozo did on Airi and Marina, and if Toujou Koneko's sister Toujou Kuroka could develop a yuri relationship with Toujou Koneko, then Lin Qi believed that their strength would be far greater than what they had today!
So if you have older sisters, younger sisters, or daughters who are rebellious, disobedient, or even hate you, then you should start to reflect on yourself and see if you have had any deep conversations with them, whether emotional or physical!
Don't hesitate any longer! Take action! If force doesn't work, drug it; if drugged, then kill it with a club! The worst that can happen is jail time! But if you go to jail, it means your skills aren't up to par! Even if you go to jail, you can still use the combination of force, drugging, and clubbing when you get out! Don't be afraid at all! (If something really goes wrong, don't come looking for me!)
Just as Lin Qi turned his gaze to Kiba Yuto, before Lin Qi could speak, Kiba Yuto spoke first: "I am different from them. I am a pure human, and I only have one divine artifact, the [Demon Sword Creation]."
"You underestimate yourself. Don't forget the experiment you and your companions were subjected to. There is actually another divine artifact hidden within you: the Holy Sword of Creation."
Although the truth was the same as what Kiba Yuuto said, he did not possess any magical racial talent and only had one divine weapon, Kiba Yuuto had seriously underestimated him. Lin Qi then recounted the experiment from back then. Lin Qi knew very well that Kiba Yuuto's body also contained another divine weapon with completely opposite attributes!
"So you do know my secret, but you're probably mistaken this time. None of us succeeded in that experiment; we all died, including me..."
P.S.: I never expected that the 2000-member group for experienced drivers would only have 120 spots left... If you haven't joined yet, hurry up! We post content daily, with all sorts of professional drivers. Whether you want to ride in a toxic car, a black car, or a legitimate car, the number is in the previous VIP chapters, over 100 chapters. If you say you didn't see it, it means you didn't read carefully. You skipped subscribing to such an innocent work of mine, what can I say? I won't tell you which chapter the number is in, and don't ask, I won't tell you even if you do.
Chapter 167 220
Lin Qi's words made Kiba Yuuto's expression turn cold. The experiment Lin Qi mentioned back then was initiated by the church in order to adapt to the Holy Sword and find a suitable successor for the Holy Sword.
Although the experiment lasted only a year, Kiba Yuuto got along very well with his friends from back then, and even built a solid emotional foundation. Unfortunately, after a year, none of them were able to adapt to the Holy Sword. The Church therefore concluded that the experiment had failed. In order to cover up the fact that they were using children for this forbidden experiment, the Church poisoned all the people who had been implanted with the Holy Factor!
This also includes Kiba Yuuto, but before he died, he met Rias, who gave him a new life, which is why he has lived until now.
"That's because those fools scattered divine factors into each of your bodies back then. You need to do things, overcome your psychological factors, conquer the shadow of those dead companions, and integrate the divine factors from their bodies into yourself. Also, because you have divine factors in your body, you can actually take advantage of the loophole that the God worshipped by the church is dead to master divine power. When demonic power and divine power merge, you will find that gaining power is actually such a simple thing."
"The God of the Church... is dead?!"
Lin Qi's words immediately left Kiba Yuto stunned. Regardless of whether Lin Qi's method was feasible or not, the information he provided about the death of God was already shocking enough!
Kiba Yuuto hasn't even reached the level of a mid-level demon yet, let alone a god, who is an existence that is unattainable in his eyes!
"Don't look at me with those eyes and that expression. I've already said it, you may not be able to accept what I'm saying, but there's no doubt that you want to increase your strength as quickly as possible, and the method I'm about to describe is the most effective and only way."
Himejima Akeno, Toujou Koneko, and Kiba Yuuto looked at Lin Qi with a mixture of shock and coldness. After all, everything Lin Qi said was a taboo subject deep in their hearts, causing their most unwanted memories to surface involuntarily.
Lin Qi naturally ignored their gazes and expressions, and he loved seeing them trying to kill him but failing.
"You haven't even mentioned me yet."
Just as the three of them were turning pale and then green, Rias suddenly spoke up, because Lin Qi still hadn't mentioned a way for her to rapidly increase her strength.
