EPHS-CHAPTER 245: THE HOLY SWORD

"Tenraku-San, you killed Loki-Sama…" Rossweisse stared at Tenraku with disbelief in her eyes.

Although Loki was known as an Evil God, he held a high position in Nordic Mythology. Only a few Gods like God King Odin had the authority to deal with him.

Rossweisse couldn't believe that Loki had been killed by Tenraku just like that!

"He cursed me and my woman and threatened to seek revenge. Why would I keep him alive? Don't worry, Rossweisse. I will explain everything to Odin-Sama and the others." Tenraku shrugged nonchalantly while looking at Rossweisse.

Rossweisse tried to speak, but no words came out of her mouth. It would probably take her some time to accept this reality. On the other hand, Raynare had a satisfied smirk on her face. The only regret for her was that she didn't get to personally kill that guy.

There were only one or two Mass-Produced Ultimate-Class Gigantis Dragons left. It was only a matter of time before Rias and Sona finished them off. Tenraku didn't need to help them anymore so he shifted his gaze to Fenrir once again.

To Tenraku's surprise, while he was busy dealing with Loki, Fenrir had managed to bite off several of the golden locks that restrained it. It truly lived up to its name as the "God-Slaying Fangs" demonic wolf. If given more time, it might have been able to escape. However, there was no room for "what ifs" in this world!

With a cold smile on his face, Tenraku activated the ability of his Sacred Gear, ["Shield of the Dark Night – Night Reflection."] Instantly, the shadow beneath the feet of the Giant Samurai distorted and merged with Fenrir's shadow.

Fenrir's body stiffened and was instantly immobilized. It struggled desperately, causing faint cracks to appear in the nearby void, hinting at its imminent collapse.

Tenraku had to admit that it was a terrifying monster. Even he wouldn't stand a chance against it if he didn't have various Sacred Gear abilities. A glint of coldness flashed in his eyes as he looked at Fenrir. Such a monster could only bring calamity. Since he had already killed Loki, he decided to get rid of Fenrir as well.

Controlling the Giant Samurai, Tenraku picked up a purple-glowing giant sword and swung it toward Fenrir's head.

"Ahhh!!!" Fenrir let out a painful howl as blood sprayed and a deep, bone-revealing gash appeared on its head, and one of its eyes was blinded. The bloody wound and the lone eye gave Fenrir a fierce and vicious look.

Tenraku couldn't help but feel amused. He had never seen such a sturdy creature before. It was astonishing that even this much damage couldn't kill it.

However, if one strike wasn't enough, he would deliver ten strikes. If ten strikes weren't enough, he would deliver a hundred. He wanted to see how long this monstrous wolf could endure!

As the purple sword was raised, Tenraku was about to continue his assault when suddenly a magic formation appeared in the air, and a figure teleported out from it.

"Sir Tenraku, please stop!"

"Arthur Pendragon?"

Tenraku frowned as he looked at the golden-haired gentleman who had suddenly intruded on his attacks.

"Sir Tenraku, could you hand Fenrir over to us?" Arthur Pendragon greeted Tenraku and asked.

"Although we may not be enemies, we are not exactly friends either. Give me a reason." A hint of amusement appeared on Tenraku's lips as he spoke but he didn't directly refuse.

"I am willing to exchange this '[Holy Sword of Control]' with you, Sir Tenraku." Arthur Pendragon took out a longsword from his waist and continued, "I heard that your comrade, Miss Shidou Irina, possesses six Excalibur fragments that can be merged into a complete Holy Sword. If she also merges this '[Holy Sword of Control],' she will have a fully powered Excalibur."

"I'm willing to exchange this sword. What do you think, Sir Tenraku?"

Tenraku couldn't help but be tempted by Arthur Pendragon's proposal. Although it seemed like he would be at a loss, exchanging a damaged Holy Sword for Fenrir, which held no value in Tenraku's hands, but allowing Irina to possess a complete Excalibur would greatly enhance her strength.

So Tenraku agreed without thinking about it too much.

"Alright, I agree." He didn't care about what the other party wanted to do with Fenrir. But if they dared to become his enemies, he could simply finish them off completely next time!

"Thank you, Sir Tenraku!" Upon hearing Tenraku's agreement, Arthur Pendragon showed a pleased expression on his face as he thanked him.

With the legendary demonic wolf Fenrir in their team, their strength would greatly increase. Even the heroes would think twice before provoking them.

Under Tenraku's gaze, Arthur Pendragon drew the "[Holy Sword of Control]." As he infused it with Spirit Qi/Energy, the entire blade emitted a dazzling light and Arthur Pendragon then inserted the sword into Fenrir's forehead.

Although it was impossible to fully dominate a powerful creature like Fenrir, it only required changing some of its will. Under the influence of the Holy Sword, Fenrir, who had been restless, gradually calmed down. In its single remaining eye, a hint of fondness appeared as it looked at Arthur Pendragon.

Tenraku couldn't help but nod in approval. As the name implied, the "[Holy Sword of Control]" had the power to control all things. It was the strongest among the seven fragments of Excalibur.

Afterward, when this sword was fused using the alchemical formula left behind by Valper Galilei, Irina would have a complete Excalibur. Not only would it greatly enhance the girl's power, but it would also be convenient to have her help in brainwashing people by simply stabbing them a few times. It was truly a handy tool.

Once the ritual was completed, Arthur Pendragon withdrew the sword from Fenrir's forehead, sheathed it, and tossed it to Tenraku. After examining it, Tenraku nodded in satisfaction, honoring their agreement. He raised his hand and dispelled the restraints on Fenrir.

"Sir Tenraku, I look forward to our next encounter. Farewell for now." Arthur Pendragon bowed again, activated teleportation magic, and disappeared with Fenrir.

"Tenraku!"

"Tenraku-Sama!"

The voices of Rias and the other girls, who had finished dealing with their opponents sounded as they flew towards Tenraku.

As the Giant Samurai's form dissipated, Tenraku and the girls regrouped. After counting their numbers, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although several girls were severely injured and in a coma, no one had died. They were either being treated by Asia or had used the Tears of the Phoenix. They would wake up with some rest.

With the completion of the mission to confront the Evil God Loki, it was their victory!

After taking a short break, when Tenraku and the girls emerged from the dimensional space, the meeting of the gods had just ended and when they learned that Loki had been killed by Tenraku, Odin, Sirzechs, Azazel, and even Michael were incredibly astonished.

The others were fine, but Odin's expression was incredibly complex. Although Loki's actions were extreme, he was still a part of the Nordic Mythic God System. Loki's death was undoubtedly a huge loss for the entire Nordic Mythic God System.

However, at this point, Odin didn't say much. Moreover, Loki's ideology was too dangerous. Perhaps his death was also a good thing for world peace.

Poor Loki, his death was truly in vain. Not only did no one avenge him, but he was also given the label of sacrificing himself for the sake of peace. Let's hope his soul finds tranquility in heaven. Amen…
