CHAPTER 180: KIANA BATTLES ESDEATH AGAIN

Chapter 180: Kiana Battles Esdeath Again! Horobi’s Way of Apology!

Afterward, the battle between the two could be described as evenly matched. Esdeath’s ice was surging and extremely cold. The frozen land extending for tens of thousands of miles, and the towering ice mountains, were the best proof.

Kiana’s void ability was even more mysterious and unpredictable. She could dodge and attack through void teleportation, and Esdeath’s ice would be swallowed by the void. Both possessed lv5 power.

Kiana relied on her mysterious abilities to contend with Esdeath. Esdeath, on the other hand, possessed combat experience and fierce momentum that the current Kiana lacked, as well as a skilled mastery of her abilities.

The battle lasted over ten minutes. The ground was covered in either craters or ice mountains. Esdeath swung her sword, and dozens of sword qi imbued with cold currents surged forth. Kiana repeated her trick, using spatial cracks to swallow some cold currents and attempting to return them to attack.

But with a glance, she realized that Esdeath had used the momentum of the rising ice mountain to swiftly approach her in the air. Just as she was about to teleport away, Esdeath brought her hands together in front of her chest.

"Mahapadma!" Extreme cold bloomed. It wasn’t merely freezing space; the molecular motion within space rapidly plummeted. In this instant, even Kiana, with her void power, showed a slight sluggishness in her movements.

Esdeath, relying on her rich non-combat experience, accurately seized the opportunity. She pierced Kiana’s heart with a sword. Kiana vanished into photons in her astonishment. After landing, Esdeath frowned in confusion.

The moment she pierced Kiana’s heart, a highly intimidating golden light seemed to flash in her eyes. "Herrscher of the Void..." Ren also keenly noticed that golden light during the live stream. The first thing he thought of was the existence of the Herrscher of the Void.

Kiana: "Wow! I lost again!"

Esdeath: "A thoroughly satisfying battle."

Ren: "Kiana didn’t lose because of her abilities, but rather her combat experience, combat skills, and mastery of her abilities."

Shinobu Kocho: "Kiana’s ability is truly strong, unpredictable, making it impossible to react."

Bronya: "Very impressive, it’s hard to believe such power can be gained just by participating in one Doom Companion."

Nami: "I’m so envious! Why did I also touch the Dresden Slate, but it had no effect at all?"

Saeko Busujima: "Me too, no reaction at all."

Mikoto Suoh: "Many people have tried it so far, and the Dresden Slate has had no reaction."

Silver Wolf: "I went to check, there’s a special energy within it, that should be the energy that awakens abilities."

Silver Wolf: "But now the energy within it is quite scarce."

Aqua: "I feel like all the energy might have been given to Ren and Kiana?"

Aqua: "One of them has an S-rank time ability, the other an S-rank space ability, and they’re both directly lv5!"

Silver Wolf: "That’s very likely. Mikoto Suoh is also a King, but initially, he was only A-rank lv4 level."

Rory Takakura: "Um... I’m also A-rank lv4."

Momonga: "It’s confirmed, the Dresden Slate’s energy has been sucked dry by the big shots."

Ren: "It’s not my fault, this power was given to me by itself."

Kiana: "I don’t know anything either!"

Ren: "Ahem, at the very least, its energy is still enough to maintain the abilities of the Kings and other extra-power users in Mikoto Suoh’s world."

Mikoto Suoh: "Mm."

"Miss Horobi, where are you going?" Yomogawa Ayame, who was still contemplating how to save Aragane Station in the room, saw Horobi getting up and about to leave. Horobi looked back at her and calmly said, "To atone."

"Thump, thump!" The knocking brought Ren’s attention back to reality. "Enter." It was Horobi who opened the door, one hand supporting her other arm. She bowed, then closed the door behind her. Ren looked up.

"What is it?" Horobi didn’t speak, raising her hands to shed all her clothes, revealing her surging heart, fair skin, and a golden glowing heart. Then, she knelt on the ground in a dogeza. "Please, Lord Ren Kazama, forgive my initial offense of speaking against you."

Ren was a little stunned by this inexplicable scene. The offense she mentioned... must have been when she wanted to kill Biba Amatori. But for him, such a thing was a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.

Was it necessary to be so frank? Ren, encountering this situation for the first time, could only helplessly say, "Alright, I forgive you." Having received Ren’s forgiveness, Horobi finally raised her body, crawled forward on her knees, stopping just in front of Ren. Under Ren’s astonished gaze, she raised her hands and then lowered her head, all in one fluid motion. "..." Another one offering herself. Ren didn’t know what it meant to refuse.

"Miss Horobi!" She gasped, mouth agape. This was Miss Horobi’s apology? It was the first time she’d heard of an apology like this. "This kind of thing..." Yomogawa Ayame was the eldest daughter of the Yomogawa family, the future head of the Yomogawa family, so she naturally had some understanding.

But Miss Horobi’s movements were somewhat beyond her comprehension. She had once eavesdropped, but it was nothing compared to this. Not to mention the applause that penetrated the wall, clearly audible, which she had never heard before. Just a short while ago, Seitenshi and that mysterious woman named Echidna had just finished. Lord Ren Kazama really isn’t human, is he?

When Mikasa and the other three returned, the battle had still not stopped. Mumei tilted her head. "What are Sister Horobi and Lord Ren doing?" Biba Amatori was already gone. Now, Horobi and Mumei referred to each other as sisters.

Vivi’s face was flushed red as she awkwardly scratched her head. "Ren is giving Miss Horobi a massage. Let’s go take a bath." Saying that, she pulled Mumei and Mikasa to the bathroom. The three of them had become quite close from acting together. Seitenshi shook her head and walked directly into Ren’s bedroom.

Unconsciously, another seven or eight hours had passed by normal reckoning. Ren had Echidna start a tea party. This time, the invited guests were not the witches. Ren invited Seitenshi, Horobi, Pandora, and Kayo. Kayo was a great contributor to the transformation of the faith realm, so she had to be rewarded.

[Ding! Doomsday Companion time remaining ten minutes. Doomsday Companion is about to end!]

The Doomsday Chat Group finally received the notification. He smiled bitterly and patted his head; being too unrestrained makes one lose control of their desires. He raised his hand to restore his tired body.

Golden light shimmered, and he changed into brand new clothes. "It’s time to end this." He pulled Seitenshi and Horobi to their feet. The house also slowly dissipated in the golden light.

Shortly after, "I’m back." Saiki Kusuo appeared via teleportation. Ren glanced at him; his clothes were neat, and he was full of energy, not looking like he had been roughing it at all. Everyone gathered. Yomogawa Ayame and Vivi’s eyes darted away, Mikasa’s gaze was calm, and Mumei was mostly curious.

"Time’s up, it’s time to end everything." The experimental results were obvious. The time of Doom Companion would not change because he slowed down the time of this world. "Leave the rest to me." Time resumed flowing at this moment. He wanted to maximize the remaining benefits. Golden Holy Wings unfurled. Soaring high into the sky, breaking through the atmosphere, arriving in outer space.

People all over the world looked up at this moment. Above the sky, there was a radiance shining like a great light. Golden wings, tens of thousands of meters long, emitted holy light, illuminating the entire world. Redemption!

"Kabane... disappeared!" Upon touching the golden light, the Kabane instantly turned into dust. Someone shouted excitedly. "It’s the Divine Lord saving us!" "It really is the Divine Lord!" Almost no one disbelieved because the Divine Lord’s wings were there above the sky, because the Kabane turned to ashes in the Divine Lord’s radiance, and because those who were bitten recovered in the Divine Light. This must be the Grace of God! This must be God’s salvation!

Almost at the same time that the light of Redemption shone upon the entire world, faith from all over the world converged towards Redemption Wings. The Doomsday Chat Group sent another notification.

[Ding! Detected that all Kabane in this world have disappeared, detected that the reincarnated demon cultivator was eliminated by Ren, Doomsday ended!]

[Ren gained 2 million doomsday points, Saiki Kusuo gained 300,000 doomsday points, Seitenshi gained 60,000 doomsday points, Vivi gained 30,000 doomsday points, Mikasa gained 20,000 doomsday points, Mumei gained 15,000 doomsday points!]

[Doomsday Companion ended! Confirm return?]

Ren was quite satisfied, retracting Redemption Wings and returning to the ground. Except for Saiki Kusuo and Seitenshi, the eyes of the other few were sparkling. They had clearly seen his god-like demeanor just now. Especially Horobi. Her entire being had been conquered. Both physically and mentally, she had been branded with Ren’s mark. She could even feel something belonging to Ren... stirring within her womb.
