"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? Why is there such a strong wind suddenly?!"
"Also, that explosion sound and the golden flash just now. It's so strange!"
"It must have been a big explosion somewhere. We need to leave quickly, or it'll be dangerous."
"No, no, wait, this vibration must be an earthquake!"
In the tourist spots of Mountain and nearby towns, everyone was startled by the sudden noise. They squatted on the ground, holding their ears, feeling discomfort. Some of those closer were even blown away, falling in a miserable heap. They anxiously discussed among themselves.
Shock, fear, terror, excitement, all sorts of human emotions showed on the faces of the tourists. Most of them screamed and ran towards the outside of Mountain, and stampedes were happening non-stop.
...
At that moment, at the Silva family Residence, Blake, panting lightly, looked at the area that he had flattened, with scorched marks everywhere and rubble and broken stones piling up. It was no longer the previous fairyland-like residence. He let out a deep sigh.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Looking at Blake, who had a slightly pale face, Lia also came to her senses from the earth-shattering attack and asked with concern.
"I'm fine, just a bit exhausted."
Upon hearing this, Blake felt a warmth in his heart and spoke softly.
After clearing out the Execution Hall and the three Elders, most of his energy had already been depleted, but that wasn't a big deal. However, using the Unlimited Blade Works earlier, controlling all the weapons with the Sword Spirit amplification attack, had drained a lot of energy.
That last attack had consumed most of Blake's strength. Normally, he could have used the Sword Spirit magic to amplify the attack, but that would have consumed too much mental and energy, so Blake chose to use the magic sword instead.
Even so, there was less than a quarter of his remaining energy.
After all, defeating three Satan-Class was not easy. Blake had used his full strength from the start to force the three Supreme Elders into a defensive state, preventing them from using strange Ancient techniques, as those could be unpredictable and dangerous.
"I see～."
Hearing Blake's words, Lia let out a sigh of relief. That previous attack was so terrifying, and the fact that the consumption wasn't worse was already good. After all, some ultimate moves often come with shocking side effects.
"Blake, your power has exceeded my expectations. Truly, you've surprised me."
At that moment, the gray smoke in the distance finally dissipated, and a confident yet arrogant voice came from inside.
This also caused Lia's expression to change slightly. After all, with her previous perception of immortal techniques, she thought that the energy signatures of the three Supreme Elders, including Cao Cao's, should have been completely extinguished under that attack.
"Did you use the power of the Mist to block the attack?"
As for Blake, he wasn't surprised that Cao Cao had survived. He simply looked at Cao Cao and the white mist surrounding him, his expression calm as he spoke.
"Correct. That attack was indeed dangerous. It startled me for a moment. But I didn't expect that you could really go to the extent of exterminating your own clan, even your ancestors. It seems you and I are indeed of the same kind."
Cao Cao scanned the surroundings where the three Supreme Elders had seemingly evaporated, slightly tilting his mouth with interest as he spoke.
"For enemies, I always exterminate them completely. As for so-called clansmen, they mean nothing to me. As long as they dare harm the people around me, I would even kill a god."
Ignoring Cao Cao, Blake put away the Holy Sword and the half-damaged magic sword into his spatial ring, his aura becoming sharp and domineering, as if he could pierce through the very sky itself.
"Indeed, we are of the same kind. So, what do you think? Want to come to my side?"
Hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly smiled.
"Same kind? Do you think you have the right to be my equal?"
The cold, piercing gaze from Blake's crystal blue eyes shot towards the seemingly happy Cao Cao, as he spoke dismissively.
"As for joining you, you are not worth it."
"Seems like the negotiations have broken down. Well then, there's no choice. You'll just have to become my pawn."
Blake's sharp words made Cao Cao's face stiffen, turning as black as charcoal. He then stopped pretending and revealed a chilling smile.
"With your remaining energy, facing the three hosts of the Longinus Class Sacred Gear, it's truly pitiful."
As he spoke, Cao Cao's hand produced a long, domineering spear that twisted the space slightly, emitting a terrifying aura that spread throughout the sky.
It was the number one God Destruction Artifact, one of the three sacred relics the "Dusk Sacred Spear."
"Three, huh? It's indeed a bit troublesome. But considering that the other two are just little brats, the real enemy is just you."
Calmly looking at the Sacred Spear in Cao Cao's hand, Blake spoke nonchalantly, shocking everyone with his words.
"What?!"
.
While Cao Cao and the others were in shock, Blake poured aether power into his right eye. In an instant, his originally crystal blue pupils began to fluctuate rapidly. A layer of crimson red quickly covered them.
At the same time, a red gauntlet appeared on Blake's right hand, with a large green gem in the center, radiating powerful spiritual energy.
"This is the 'Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet'? You're actually the current Red Dragon Emperor?!"
Looking at the gauntlet on Blake's right hand, Cao Cao froze for a moment, then exclaimed in shock.
Blake had been hiding this Longinus Class Sacred Gear ⚙️ and fighting all this time?
Not only Cao Cao but also Georg and Leonardo, who also had Longinus Class Sacred Gear as the hosts of the "Annihilation Maker", stared dumbfounded at the scene, unable to react.
"Brother...?"
Lia's eyes widened, her gaze fixed on the gauntlet on Blake's right hand that exuded a strong, almost tangible presence, causing her emotions to fluctuate wildly.
Blake, meanwhile, furrowed his brow as he felt the strange sensation emanating from the gauntlet.
"Boost!"
Blake summoned the Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet, and a heavy silence descended upon the area. The eerie quiet lasted until a sharp, resonant voice rang out from the gemstone within the gauntlet, snapping everyone back to attention.
This moment, like the triggering of a bomb, instantly transformed the atmosphere into one charged with peril!
