EPHS-Chapter 384 The Fear Dominated by Despair

"I suppose it's about time I got serious..." Facing the encirclement of the girls, Tenraku muttered to himself, then made a decision in his heart.

Spirit Power surged from his body and six blood-red Magatama appeared in Tenraku's two pupils. The Magatama slowly rotated, and then a colossal figure enveloped Tenraku as he stood up.

Donned in ancient samurai armor, a purple-glowing giant sword at his waist, and a quaint and mystical mirror floating behind him.

It was none other than Susanoo!

"Ohhhh... What's with this colossal form!"

"Governor General Azazel, can you explain it for us?"

It was the first time Tenraku had unleashed this move in a match. In the arena outside the alternate space, the announcer's voice rang out in astonishment. Not only him, but all the spectators were deeply impressed by the majestic Giant.

"That is the manifestation of Susanoo summoned by the Sacred Gear Yasakani-no-Magatama - Eight Shaku Curved Jewel, combined with the Sacred Gears Ame-no-Murakumo sword and Yata-no-Kagami - Eight Ta Mirror."

"By simultaneously materializing three Sacred Gears, the abilities of the Sacred Gear increase exponentially."

"Heh heh, to be able to do something like this, I'm afraid there's only one person in the world who can do this," Azazel explained to the announcer and the audience while chuckling.

When it came to understanding Sacred Gears, Azazel was an authoritative expert. But when it came to using Sacred Gears, Tenraku was unquestionably the king!

"Kamiya Tenraku! Kamiya Tenraku! Kamiya Tenraku!"

Cheers roared like waves, and the atmosphere in the entire arena soared again.

At the same time, within the alternate space—

"Disperse!"

Rias and her girls were familiar with the three Sacred Gears - Yata-no-Kagami, Ame-no-Murakumo, and Yasakani-no-Magatama. But precisely because of this, they understood the terror concealed beneath Tenraku's current form. They each had a drastic change in expression and quickly distanced themselves from him.

Compared to the gravity displayed by Rias and her group, Reaper-Loli Bennia was beyond excited. Countless little stars twinkled in her golden pupils.

As a devoted fan of Big Brother Sex Dragon, Bennia had decided. Later, she would embroider the grand and handsome form of Big Brother Sex Dragon on her clothes and worship it several times every day!

"Lovely Misses, I'll be a bit more serious now. Be prepared."

"First—"

Tenraku snapped his fingers with a slight smirk on his face.

"Ah!!!"

A scream echoed, and Rias and her girls quickly turned their gazes.

It was Asia!

They saw the shadow on the ground beneath Asia twist for a moment, and then Asia's body sank into it.

"Asia!"

Xenovia and the others rushed to rescue her. But when they arrived, Asia had already disappeared without a trace.

Then, in the next moment, Asia emerged from Tenraku's shadow, within the crystal on the Giant's forehead.

The expressions of Rias and her girls couldn't help but darken. In just a moment of inattention, they had lost Asia!

"Asia, you're my captive now. Stay obediently here." Tenraku smiled after gently reassuring the startled Asia.

"Yes, Tenraku-san..." Asia obediently replied while her cheeks slightly flushed.

When she was pulled into the shadow just now, she was indeed taken aback. But upon seeing Tenraku, Asia calmed down. Looking at her companions below the Giant, Asia couldn't help but wear an apologetic expression on her face.

I'm sorry, Rias Nee San, everyone. I've become Tenraku-san's captive. I can no longer help you.

While Asia wasn't adept at combat, she had always provided support and healing from the rear, allowing Rias and her group to fight without reservation. Losing Asia was undoubtedly a huge blow to them.

However, this was just the beginning!

With a smirk on his lips, under Tenraku's control, the samurai Giant raised one hand and reached down below. Rias and her girls quickly evaded, but Gasper, still bewildered, was caught in the Giant's grasp.

Finally realizing the situation, Gasper looked left and right, then...

"Ahhhhh..."

"Help, Rias Sama, everyone!"

"I'm captured, help!"

Gasper wailed and struggled relentlessly.

"Gasper, quickly transform into a bat!" Rias shouted loudly, and Gasper's eyes lit up.

Right, if he transformed into a bat, he could escape from this situation!

Gasper quickly used his Vampire ability to disperse his body into many bats. However, Tenraku wouldn't let him off so easily. In an instant, a ball of energy appeared in the hand of the samurai Giant, trapping all the bats Gasper had transformed into.

Despite their constant flapping and collisions, no matter how hard the bats tried, it was all in vain.

"Wu Wu Wu... everyone, I can't get out."

Returning to his original form, Gasper immediately teared up, looking pitiful as he cowered within the energy ball.

"Gasper, would you like to become a shooting star?" Tenraku asked while raising the energy ball in front of him.

"A shooting... star?" Gasper blinked and looked utterly bewildered when he heard Tenraku's words.

With a grin on his face, Tenraku controlled the samurai Giant and projected the energy ball, still trapping Gasper, out.

"Ahhhhhhhhh..."

"Rias-Sama's Bishop, one member, eliminated!"

Gasper yelled as he transformed into a shooting star, disappearing into the sky, accompanied by the voice of the announcer.

"So, who's next?" Looking down from above, Tenraku surveyed the remaining Rias and her girls before he spoke.

As they felt Tenraku's gaze sweep over them, each of the girls couldn't help but shiver.

"Everyone, attack together!"

No longer allowing Tenraku to continue, a fierce glint flashed in Rias's eyes as she shouted.

"Oh!!!"

They all moved simultaneously. Rias and Sitri Sona charged forward, conjuring a massive energy ball that slammed fiercely into the samurai Giant. Xenovia and Irina activated their Knight's extreme speed, becoming two streaks of afterimages that relentlessly hacked at the Giant. 

Akeno summoned Thunderlight, Rossweisse cast her magic, Koneko-chan delivered rapid punches, and Kuroka floated in the air, unleashing powerful monster and immortal techniques. In addition to them, there were Shinra Tsubaki and Bennia. The girls all joined forces, and in an instant, the storm of attacks rained down on the samurai Giant.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

Flames surged into the sky, explosions echoed, and the guests in the alternate space were ignited with passion, cheering loudly.

After attacking for a while, the exhausted Rias and her girls finally came to a halt.

Receiving such a fierce onslaught, Tenraku couldn't possibly be unscathed, right?!

Indeed, due to the girls' assault, the samurai Giant displayed many scorched areas and cracks, looking quite battered.

However, to the incredulous expressions of Rias and her girls, in just a few breaths, the destruction they had caused was completely restored as if nothing had happened!

Looking at the dumbfounded girls, Tenraku in the crystal on the Giant's forehead revealed a devilish smile.

"Well, my lovely little lambs, why don't you try experiencing the fear dominated by despair?"

To be continued...
