EPHS-Chapter 393 Blood of Thunderlight

"Azazel, why did you come over?" 

Early in the morning, Azazel arrived at the Kamiya Family with Gasper, which surprised Tenraku a bit.

"I'll be settling in this town from now on, so I came to say hello to you all." 

Sipping the tea that Akeno poured for him, Azazel reclined with a pleased expression on his face as he spoke.

"Settle in? But aren't you the Governor General of the Fallen Angels? It doesn't seem quite fitting for you to keep staying in the Human World like us," Rias inquired, unable to hold back her curiosity.

"Hey hey... I've already passed on the position of Governor General to Shemhazai. From now on, I'm a free man!" 

Azazel, rubbing his chin, looked excited, as if he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

"What's going on?" 

Tenraku and the girls couldn't help but be surprised.

After Azazel explained, Tenraku and the girls understood what was going on. After the turmoil in the Underworld ended last time, Azazel had already stepped down from the position of Governor General of the Fallen Angels. 

The current Governor-General was Shemhazai, and the Vice Governor General was Tenraku's father-in-law, Baraqiel. As for Azazel, he was now simply serving as a technical consultant for the Grigori.

Finally relieved of his duties, Azazel now had more time to do what he wanted. Seeing his happy demeanor, Tenraku and the girls could only congratulate him with a bit of speechlessness.

"Ophis, are you comfortable staying here?" 

Looking at Ophis, who was sitting on Tenraku's lap and licking a lollipop, Azazel asked.

"Not bad," Ophis replied without raising her head and continued to enjoy her candy.

Not only was she not doing badly here, she was downright comfortable. She was provided with delicious food and drinks every day, and someone took turns to play with her. 

Since Ophis liked sunbathing, Tenraku even prepared a delicate sun lounger on the roof for her. Every day, after sunbathing to her heart's content, she would come back and continue to eat, drink, and play.

Seeing that Ophis was indeed doing well, Azazel felt relieved.

Although Ophis had lost half of her power now, she was still very dangerous. Only Tenraku's group could safely accommodate this Dragon God-sama. If she were placed elsewhere, who knows how much trouble she would cause.

However, if Azazel were to find out that Tenraku was treating Ophis as his own pet, and that the innocent Ophis had already come to see Tenraku as her provider of food and shelter, who knows how Azazel would feel?

"By the way, Akeno, this is for you." Seemingly recalling something, Azazel took out something like a bracelet and tossed it to Akeno.

"What is this?" 

Akeno was a bit puzzled. The bracelet Azazel gave her was inscribed with many magical runes; it was clearly no ordinary item.

"This is a device that can awaken the Fallen Angel bloodline within you. It was a request from Baraqiel." 

"Last time, I saw from your match that while the 'True Longinus' that the young lad Tenraku shared with you is very powerful, your own strength is not yet enough to fully control that Holy Spear. If you can completely awaken and enhance your Thunderlight bloodline, it should be much easier to wield in the future."

"You should no longer resist the bloodline within you, right? Go on, try it out."

After the explanation, Azazel smiled.

"Father..."

"Yes!"

Feeling a touch of emotion, Akeno nodded. She put the bracelet on her wrist, took a deep breath, and then activated a bit of her magic power, sending it into the bracelet.

Under everyone's gaze, the magical runes on the bracelet shone with a golden light. Then, with a swoosh, a pair of jet-black Fallen Angel wings spread out behind Akeno.

However, that wasn't all!

"Ugh..."

Feeling the blood throughout her body boiling, Akeno couldn't help but let out a slightly painful moan. Then, streaks of Thunderlight burst forth from her body, and her aura continued to rise and rise.

"Hey, Azazel, is that thing you made reliable?" 

Seeing Akeno enduring the pain, Tenraku couldn't help but tighten his heart, preparing to rescue her at any moment.

"Rest assured, the first time is bound to be a bit painful, but as long as she endures it, she'll be fine."

"Alright, is this good?" 

Compared to the tension between Tenraku and Rias' group, Azazel appeared confident and pointed at Akeno.

"Ah!!"

Under everyone's gaze, the Thunderlight on Akeno's body suddenly surged several times, and two more pairs of wings spread out from behind her with a swoosh.

It was a six-winged Fallen Angel!

The violent Thunderlight directly shattered several tables and chairs around, and it was only when Tenraku quickly activated his inherent barrier to envelop Akeno that further destruction was avoided.

The surge in power finally came to a halt, and the Thunderlight on Akeno's body gradually dissipated and returned to her.

"Amazing, Akeno Nee Sama!"

"Akeno, are you okay?"

Tenraku dispelled the barrier, and Rias and the others surrounded her with concern.

"Yes, I'm fine. I just feel like my power has grown a lot."

Signaling that she was fine, a hint of joy also appeared on Akeno's face.

As a half-human, half-fallen Angel, and now transformed into a Devil by Rias, Akeno possessed the powers of both humans, Devils, and Fallen Angels. The Magic bracelet Azazel gave her this time completely awakened the Blood of Thunderlight within her, causing Akeno's strength to suddenly increase significantly.

"Azazel-Sama, thank you." Walking up to Azazel, Akeno expressed her gratitude earnestly.

Having more power means she can assist Rias and Tenraku even more, so Akeno's thanks to Azazel for helping her came from the bottom of her heart.

"Oh, don't mention it. This bracelet just activated the power you already had. After getting used to it a few more times, you'll be able to use it even without it."

Azazel didn't pay much attention to it.

Everyone was already very familiar with Azazel, so there was no need for excessive politeness. However, to express her gratitude to Azazel, Akeno took the initiative to prepare a sumptuous meal. She wanted Azazel to stay and enjoy it together.

"Gasper, let's go, we're going back."

After finishing the meal and resting for a while, Azazel, who was already planning to leave, called out to Gasper.

"Huh?!"

"Do I have to go back with Azazel-Sensei? But I want to stay here."

Gasper, who was playing video games with Ile and Nel, was a bit reluctant. He thought that after coming back this time, he wouldn't have to leave again.

"You silly boy, don't you think you'd be in the way if you stayed here? You'd be interrupting Tenraku and his Harem's intimacy."

"Besides, I'm sure you'd get bored just living here. You'd better come with me."

Without further ado, Azazel dragged Gasper out.

"Wu wu wu... Why is it like this..."

Quietly apologizing to Gasper in his heart, Rias and the others felt a bit shy, while Tenraku waved goodbye with a smile, watching the two of them leave...
