EPHS-Chapter 441 Fall Short

"You still have a long way to go."

With a cold, murderous intent gleaming in his eyes, a dangerous aura emanated from Euclid. How dare Kamiya Tenraku underestimate him— damn it!

"Jié Jié Jié… That's the spirit, Lord Euclid. Kill that stinky little Red Dragon Emperor!" Rizevim chuckled and spoke while standing in the distance, and Euclid immediately took action.

Swift, surpassing the utmost speed, nearly tearing through the fabric of space, Euclid blinked and shot towards Tenraku!

"Die!"

With a bloodthirsty and ruthless demeanor, Euclid's fist lunged towards Tenraku. This was a punch gathering all his strength, bolstered by the Red Dragon Emperor's armor— capable of easily shattering even a mountain!

Boom!!!

Flames soared, exploding into the sky, and shockwaves radiated out in all directions. However—

"Impossible!"

Watching Tenraku effortlessly block his full-force punch with just one hand, Euclid wore an expression as if he'd seen a ghost.

"I told you, I was just playing around with you earlier. Did you really think you were so powerful?"

"Let me show you the might of my fist!" 

Tenraku grinned as he spoke and in a lightning-fast motion, delivered a punch to Euclid's abdomen. The Scarlet armor erupted into pieces, and Euclid, eyes bulging, spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

"Impossible… Impossible…"

Unable to accept it, Euclid was utterly unable to comprehend that he had already lost with just a slightly serious punch from Tenraku!

"So, Euclid, you said your strength could rival even your elder sister Grayfia's?"

"No no no, in fact, you are far from reaching Grayfia's level!"

Tenraku's fist charged forth, and Euclid was sent flying like a shooting star, crashing into and shattering a palace below with a thunderous roar.

As long as Tenraku wished, he could have killed Euclid with that punch, but considering he was Grayfia's younger brother, he spared his life.

"Oh, Euclid lost. Well, it's inevitable when facing that Red Dragon Emperor brat."

"Anyway, there's no point in staying here any longer. Let's retreat."

Muttering to himself, Rizevim raised his hand, and several light arrows shot out. These light arrows weren't aimed at Tenraku or Yubelluna and the other women but struck the four colossal swords created by Marius in his Evil Dragon form.

Although these light arrows didn't possess great power, they carried Rizevim's ability to nullify Sacred Gear. Upon impact, the swords disintegrated.

"Marius, please protect us."

"Red Dragon Emperor, until we meet again!"

"Ack ack ack ack…"

Seeing Rizevim attempting to leave, Tenraku refused to let him succeed. His Dragon Wings unfolded behind him, ready to fly over and stop Rizevim.

"Roar!"

However, with a mighty roar, the now-freed Evil Dragon blocked Tenraku's path, unleashing a torrent of towering flames from its gaping maw.

Tosca quickly erected a barrier defense for her sisters, while Tenraku, bursting with Spirit Qi, dispersed the surging flames with a mere blast.

But that wasn't all. Hundreds of other Evil Dragons roared and approached Tenraku's group from all directions.

"Get lost!"

Tenraku directly turned several of the charging dragons into pulp. However, as he broke through the encirclement, Rizevim, Euclid, and Lilith had already vanished without a trace. Even the massive Evil Dragon Marius had transformed into had soared into the high skies, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Though Tenraku knew he couldn't capture Rizevim at this moment, he still felt a bit displeased watching him escape. His gaze fell on the Evil Dragons transformed from the Vampires.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

"Yes!"

Yubelluna and the girls acted simultaneously, and Tenraku dispersed the Red Dragon Emperor's armor, summoning a longsword into his hand.

"Let's use their blood to cool off my temper!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! 

Explosions, shouts, and wails echoed as limbs and debris rained down from the sky. In no time, hundreds of mass-produced Evil Dragons were eradicated by Tenraku and his women.

Tepes' palace was in ruins, and Evil Dragon corpses littered the area. Not only the palace but the entire royal city had become a wasteland, with faint cries audible in the background. Tepes' Vampires were finished, but it was their own doing, and Tenraku had no extra sympathy to spare.

"Where did the other Evil Dragons go?" Tenraku inquired while surveying the scene.

"Rizevim took some away, and the rest flew towards Carmilla's territory."

Mihae, Tenraku's Bishop, who had been monitoring the movements of the Evil Dragons, replied.

"They've flown to Carmilla's side, huh? Looks like that Queen is in trouble." Tenraku chuckled, but it wasn't his concern.

"Alright, let's head back."

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, in Carmilla's territory—

"How could this happen? Our homeland, our people..."

Watching Evil Dragons descending from the sky, wreaking havoc, and slaughtering Vampire civilians, Elmenhilde sat stunned on the ground.

Civilians cried out, fleeing in all directions, while Pawns tirelessly defended against the dragon attacks. Even Queen Carmilla and a few elders were personally suppressing the chaos. 

But the enemy numbers were overwhelming, and each one was immensely powerful, only knowing destruction and slaughter. Even if they won this battle, their country would be left in shambles.

"Elmen-Sama, please pull yourself together. We need your strength now. Lead us in repelling the enemy!" A female Vampire helped Elmenhilde up, and Elmenhilde couldn't help but shudder.

Indeed, now was not the time for despair. They had to defeat these enemies!

"Everyone, fight with me!" With a glimpse of determination in her eyes, Elmen spoke.

"Yes, Elmen-Sama!"

...

When Tenraku, Yubelluna, and the other girls returned to the embassy building, they found Evil Dragon corpses scattered around. It seemed that after Tenraku and the others left, more Evil Dragons had attacked, but fortunately, Gasper and Valerie were unharmed.

Their mission in the Vampire territory was considered accomplished. Rizevim took away the Holy Grail's third part, and Tenraku and his group had no reason to stay. However, after the recent battle, the night had fallen, and ultimately, Tenraku decided to spend the night here before departing early the next morning.

At night, in the bathroom—

"Have you had enough?!"

Kneeling before Tenraku, once again swallowing the unclean liquid in her mouth, Grayfia, with a somewhat full belly, glared at Tenraku with a face of embarrassment.

"Grayfia, I spared your younger brother's life. Shouldn't you thank me?" Tenraku grinned and spoke while stroking Grayfia's exquisite face.

"I didn't ask you to spare him!" Grayfia gritted her teeth.

"Hey hey... I don't care. I spared your younger brother's life, and you should thank me. Moreover, you should thank me until I'm satisfied!"

With a wicked smile, Tenraku pressed Grayfia's head down again...
