Terminus Est !

After saying this, and before Koneko could notice, Su Yang teleported to her side.

"Huh?... Eh?"

Koneko just realized that her feet had left the ground and her center of gravity had shifted!

"Am I... being carried by my senior?"

Blushing, Koneko blinked her big eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. But just as she did, the change in the surroundings made her heart race again.

Now, she was in Su Yang's arms, being carried like a princess!

"Senior? What's this?"

Noticing the different environment, Koneko realized that they had somehow instantly moved to this open space.

"Koneko, I don't know any spells to repair houses. To have a place to live in the future, I can't fight your sister there."

Su Yang squinted his eyes. Since the Monkey King had come along with Kuroka, they would surely know where he was now.

"Senior, you're not an ordinary person, are you? How did you manage to get my sister's tail and ear fur? Do you... have demon lord level strength?"

Koneko's shy face turned vigilant. Even the upper-level demon leader couldn't do such a thing. Could this senior be stronger than Rias?

But her sister didn't notice his actions either. Could he really be stronger than her sister, at a demon lord level?

Was there a demon lord level presence at Kuoh Academy, and also a top student?

Koneko thought the world was too fantastical... oh, this world was indeed a fantasy world.

Hearing Koneko's words, Su Yang smiled wryly. If he had demon lord level strength, he'd pin Kuroka down, confiscate the Monkey King's staff, and wait for the old monkey to come and get it.

"My ability is just unique. You can think of it as me awakening a hero's bloodline. My real strength is similar to yours."

Su Yang wasn't lying. Without using the Miaoxian bloodline, his strength was that of a mid-level demon, just like Koneko.

With the power of "Vamana," he could easily traverse time and space, unaffected by any barriers or seals.

In mythology, Vishnu's fifth incarnation, Vamana, took back the heavens, earth, and sky from the demon king Bali. Bali promised to give land within three steps to the dwarf Vamana, not realizing Vishnu would take giant steps to cover heaven and earth, leaving hell to the demon king.

[This metaphor represents the sun's journey across the universe from morning to evening.]

"Hero? Senior, you inherited a hero's bloodline?" Koneko asked.

"Sort of."

Su Yang had roughly planned his future actions.

"What kind of hero?" Koneko's curiosity was piqued.

"A... special hero. I'll tell you more another time." Su Yang smiled.

He knew telling Koneko was like telling Rias.

"Okay then..."

"Senior... can you put me down?"

Koneko bit her lip, feeling unfamiliar with being held like this.

"I can, but Koneko, you'll have to hold onto me yourself. I won't be able to carry you while doing other things. So... climb up."

Su Yang gently put Koneko down and turned his body slightly, indicating she should get on his back herself.

Koneko silently looked into Su Yang's eyes. After a few seconds, she quietly climbed onto his back, her face flushing hotly, feeling as if all the blood in her body had rushed to her cheeks.

She wasn't an unreasonable girl. If her senior didn't have the strength, her stubbornness could push him into a dangerous situation. Her sister might not kill her, but Su Yang might not be so lucky.

"By the way, if your sister is a cat demon, then you're a cat demon too, right?"

Su Yang noticed the changes in Koneko as she climbed onto his back. Since she was very weak now, her cat ears and tail, usually hidden, had appeared.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch them...

"Meow?!... Senior?" Koneko panted slightly. Although her sister's poison wouldn't kill a demon, it would weaken them significantly. Now, Koneko didn't even have the strength to hide her true form.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but Su Yang thought he smelled a faint, pleasant fragrance.

"Oh, sorry, I just thought you might not be holding on tightly enough."

Su Yang's excuse was perfect. Because Koneko was weak, he had to support her a bit.

Earlier, Su Yang had tested it by giving Koneko a set of cat girl clothes and touching the tail on the outfit, but there was no task completion notification.

So, he directly went for Koneko's actual tail. With her sister, Kuroka, playing the villain, Su Yang appeared as the good guy.

This time, touching the cat tail indeed completed the task.

**Ding!**

**Ding! Silver-level sign-in successful!**

**Sign-in location: Koneko's cat tail.**

**Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Elf Holy Sword Est (Incomplete)!**

**The highest-ranking sword spirit, full name "Guardian God Terminus Est," a legendary holy sword capable of vanquishing demon lords.**

**However, it is not the main body but a separate existence branched from it, possessing only about one-tenth of the original power.**

**Note: As a holy sword, it has curse-breaking power, storing the curses of defeated spirits. If the stored curses exceed the limit, they can backfire on the wielder. The system-summoned holy sword does not have this drawback.**

"Oh? Not bad. Even with my current limited spiritual power, it can be used as a powerful holy sword."

If he wasn't carrying Koneko, Su Yang would have taken out the demon lord-killing holy sword to play with.

"They're here!"

Koneko whispered from behind him. She knew her sister, Kuroka, was approaching without hiding her presence.

"It's okay."

Su Yang reached back and patted Koneko's head, aware of her weakened state.

"Oh my, oh my!~~ Running off with my little sister, did you get her sister's permission, meow?"

Kuroka approached with catlike grace.

"Sorry!~~ Your sister!~ I'm taking her~~"

Su Yang grinned, showing a bright smile to Kuroka.

"How presumptuous!~" Kuroka waved her hand, summoning endless magic circles behind her.

To take her sister, he had to get her permission, meow!~~

Su Yang's words reminded Kuroka of the demon who once adopted her and Koneko, fueling her anger.

"I think you misunderstood something."

Su Yang spoke calmly. Behind him, a heroic figure in armor merged with his body.

**Rama's incarnation!**
