Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

Vatra replied with a smile.

“My grandfather has explicitly forbidden me from doing this, and he also forbids the War King Domain from going to war with the Extinction Dynasty.”

Chapter 226 A Gift Delivered to Your Door

"So, you wanted to devour me without the War King's intervention, right?"

Sharp fangs emerged from Iblisbelle's mouth, revealing his madness in that moment.

"Who knows? But it's quite interesting, isn't it, Your Highness!"

"Vatra."

Vatra, who smiled without saying a word, and Iblisbelle, who was full of madness.

The two stared at each other, each emanating a powerful magical energy, as if engaged in some unseen conflict, a struggle between them.

"Could you two hold back for now? Otherwise, I might get caught up in it too."

As such a pleasant sound suddenly rang out on the battlefield, an overwhelming magical power suddenly descended from the sky.

Under this vast, black ocean-like magic, the magic rising from Iblisbelle and Vatra was abruptly severed, disappearing without a trace before they could even offer a token resistance.

"..."

The sudden turn of events made the two of them wary, causing them to distance themselves and turn back to look in the direction from which the sound was coming from.

But as soon as the two powerful vampires locked onto that person, they both froze in place almost simultaneously.

There was a young girl there.

She was a girl with long, light green hair, dressed in thin clothes, with deep, emerald-green eyes like a deep lake, a delicate and charming face, and cute fangs showing as she smiled at the two of them.

A heart-stopping magic was quietly gathering within that girl.

Although this magic resided quietly within the girl, no one would doubt that the magic, now tamed by the girl like a gentle cat, would, upon unleashing its full power, cause not only the island of Itogami beneath their feet but also the very sky to tremble.

"I never expected you to grace us with your presence."

The next second, Vatra recognized the girl's identity and a wildly joyful smile appeared on his face.

"I never expected Your Majesty to attend this Flame Banquet."

At this moment, even the proud Iblisbelle lowered his head slightly.

There's no way around it; his status and position are enough to outshine 99.999% of the people in the world.

He didn't even take the heads of those powerful magical nations seriously.

But the woman in front of him far surpassed him in both status and personal strength.

—The Third True Ancestor, the Chaos Princess, is her name.

It should be noted that the True Ancestor has always been the one who devised the Flamelight Banquet, as has been the case for the previous Flamelight Banquets.

This is truly the first time the True Ancestor has personally intervened.

"There's nothing surprising about it, after all, the previous Flame Banquets were just casual jokes."

"But this time it will be slightly different."

Having said that, the Third Ancestor said no more and simply leaned against the pillar behind him.

For the three True Ancestors, their unparalleled strength and endless lifespan had long since caused them to lose interest in pursuing anything in the endless years.

For them, the continued passage of time brings no joy whatsoever.

Madness exists only in silence.

For this reason, they are willing to pay an unimaginable price for some fun that others may consider insignificant.

Such is the Feast of Flames.

In this state of affairs, a human, oblivious to his own mortality, barged in.

"On behalf of Itogami Island and the Lion King Organization, I would like to express my gratitude to the three of you for responding so urgently."

The one who spoke was a girl wearing glasses, with braided pigtails, and dressed in the uniform of Ayakai Academy High School.

Indeed, the visitor was none other than Xian Guyong.

What she said wasn't wrong.

It has only been a little over two days since she issued the official announcement of the Flame Banquet.

In such a short time, all the candidates had already arrived.

It's clear how bored these vampires must have been. They probably received her message and immediately came over by transportation.

"The 'Silence Destroyer' is really young."

Vatra immediately turned his gaze to Xianguyong, his eyes revealing a look of eager anticipation.

Vatra was constantly seeking powerful enemies, attempting to satisfy his desires through battle.

Humans like Xian Gu Yong, who could threaten the True Ancestor, were undoubtedly one of his targets.

"Yes, but I have inherited all of the previous one's spiritual power."

In response to Vatra's spying, Xian Guyong simply replied with this, as a form of retaliation.

"It is an honor to have you all here once again, Lord Ordiaru, His Highness Iblisbell, and His Highness Jada."

Finally, they got down to business. Vatra withdrew his gaze, which had been like a snake's tongue, and became serious.

"This Flamelight Feast was decided by the three great Night Empires, and is being hosted by my Lion King Organization as the decision-maker."

“You are all electors who each possess the original body of the ‘Night Lord of Flame’.”

"Perhaps none of us are here to resurrect the Fourth Ancestor, but that doesn't matter. We've all gathered here to pursue the Fourth Ancestor."

"Then you are the chosen ones who meet the requirements for this Flamelight Feast."

"In addition to the Fourth Progenitor, Lord Yuan, who has already refused to attend this meeting, I hereby formally announce that the 'Feast of Flames' shall begin immediately."

Xian Gu Yong's words elicited different reactions from the other three.

"Wait, Silent Destroyer, are you saying that including the Fourth Progenitor, this makes up all the Chosen Ones?"

"I remember there was also an arms dealer or something."

They were all familiar with Makoto Haramura's involvement.

They have already confirmed this with the people from the Lion King organization who contacted them.

Even Jiada chose to join because of this variable.

"I have heard this rumor."

"It seems that an arms dealer led a group of low-level Huns to wipe out a noble family in your War King's Domain."

"This is indeed a disgrace to the nobility, to be defeated by a bunch of lowlifes."

Iblisbelle wore a disdainful expression.

"That's right. According to my calculations, that arms dealer must have at least three bodies in his possession."

"In addition, he seized large tracts of territory and established his own autonomous prefecture."

"He already possesses the qualifications to be chosen as emperor."

Iblisbell frowned and curled his lip in disgust.

"Fine, even if he comes to this island, I'll just go and take him out first."

"The presence of even one scoundrel can spoil the good mood of a banquet."

In response, Xiangu Yong adjusted his glasses and spoke softly in his usual calm tone.

“Your Highness Iblisbelle, I think this matter need not trouble you.”

"That ignorant arms dealer provoked His Majesty before the war, and this afternoon he was personally executed by His Majesty."

"boom--!"

It was like a thunderclap suddenly exploding on flat ground.

A viscous, asphalt-like magic suddenly enveloped the space, and a top-tier ferocious beast, resurrected from ancient times, stared at Xian Guyong with its predatory eyes.

Immediately afterwards...

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Interesting, really interesting."

"So, that interesting guy now has four bodies?"

The magic that filled this space vanished without a trace in an instant, and the pressure that had been weighing on everyone's shoulders also disappeared in an instant.

The third progenitor, Jada, stood up from her position leaning against the pillar.

"Your Majesty, it is like this."

Xian Gu Yongwei took a barely perceptible step back.

Although it was a little embarrassing to say that, the pressure she had just felt had stirred a slight sense of fear within her.

But it's not her fault.

Although everyone in the Lion King Organization said that with her abilities and the "Seven-Type Assault Demon-Slaying Machine Gun", she was capable of threatening the True Ancestor and severely injuring him if he was careless.

But in the end, she's still just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

She never truly met the true ancestor.

The True Ancestor hasn't made a move in public for many years.

Now, having truly faced that pressure for a moment, she realized just how optimistic and foolish the Lion King Organization's previous estimates had been.

There is nothing in the world that could threaten the existence of such a monster.

"His Majesty has already gathered four unburied bodies."

"Wow, that's really fast. I was even thinking of sending him a few bodies."

Jiada laughed with unusual joy.

His mouth was practically stretched to the roots of his mouth in a wide grin.

"It seems this really has brought me an unexpected surprise, but it also means that it won't let me down later."

Jada stood with her hands on her hips, her emerald-like eyes almost turning into star-like eyes like Misaki Shokuhou's.

"Tell that guy that I have already released the seventh, eighth, and tenth prototypes that I brought up to Itogami Island."

"Let him go find it himself."

"I look forward to the moment when I fight him."

The moment the words left her lips, the Third True Ancestor, Jada, vanished.

"Haha, there's actually such a hidden story."

With Jada's departure, Vatra's long-hidden madness was finally unleashed.

He looked up at the sky and laughed heartily.

"Since His Majesty the Third True Ancestor has already agreed so readily, I shouldn't get in the way."

"I will also hand over the III, IV, and V primary bodies held by the War King Domain."

"All the original bodies are in my deep-sea tomb. I'll trouble you to deliver them to His Majesty when the time comes."

"I will also pay a visit when the time is right."

As Vatra laughed, his figure gradually became ethereal and hazy, eventually transforming into a ball of golden particles that vanished into the world.

"He really is the madman described in the rumors."

"For the sake of fighting, they are willing to do anything."

Iblisbell looked at the dock, which had suddenly become somewhat empty, then at the spot where Vatra had disappeared, and finally glanced at Xian Guyong and said indifferently.

"Now you've got what you Lion King Organization wanted."
