"Don't you understand human speech?"
Ayato looked surprised and said calmly, "I said, you talk too much."
"Now, have you prepared how you want to die?"
Hearing this, Taisai Seikun flew into a rage.
As for his earlier doubts, he cast them aside.
"What gives you, a mere Devil, the audacity to speak such arrogant nonsense?"
Taisai Seikun smiled coldly, his killing intent already tangible.
"As punishment for you."
"I won't let you die too easily."
As his voice fell, he attacked.
He put his index and middle fingers together, and Cursed Energy surged and gathered.
Destruction Star!
The next moment!
An energy ball shot through the air.
This was his favorite method of attack, capable of harming both soul and body.
It also carried a curse.
Once hit...
Even if the target didn't die, their descendants would suffer.
Facing all this.
Ayato didn't move at all.
As if... he couldn't react at all.
Seeing this.
A mocking smile curled at the corner of Taisai Seikun's mouth.
"You talk big, but you're not much."
He regretted it.
Had he struck too hard?
If he killed him outright, how could he still torture this Devil?
But what happened next made his expression change.
Boom!
Accompanied by a thunderous roar.
A tangible shockwave spread in all directions.
With the shrine at its center, an astonishing gale howled outward.
Seiko, somehow, had already stood before Ayato.
Her crimson priestess outfit shone brightly. Before her outstretched hands, a vast barrier blocked all destruction outside.
She said coldly, "Who gave you the audacity to attack my master?"
At the same time.
Yayoi, Miko, Hana, and Yuria stood on either side of Ayato.
They respectively activated the power of their Balance Breakers. An invisible aura made the surrounding earth tremble.
"Interesting. I underestimated you."
Taisai Seikun's figure flew high, looking down at the group.
His gaze swept over Seiko and the others from time to time.
Based on the auras they were now emitting, these few were no ordinary Devils.
"I didn't expect each of you to possess a Sacred Gear."
Taisai Seikun said coldly. "But unfortunately, even the strongest among you is only at the level of a High-Class Devil."
"Even with a Sacred Gear, you are no match for me."
His tone was full of confidence.
Because his original form was a true fierce god.
Even if only an avatar appeared here...
He was not comparable to ordinary fierce gods.
"Master, let us deal with him, how about it?"
Yayoi suddenly said. "A fierce god-level Cursed Spirit is rare."
Miko said, "Alright, I'd also like to see the power of a fierce god."
Hana said, "Master, let us try."
Hearing this, Ayato shrugged indifferently.
Since his servants wanted to play, he would support them.
"Spirit Bullet!"
Hana stepped forward, the Cursed Energy in her hand growing more and more vast.
The next moment!
All that Cursed Energy, compressed and gathered, under Hana's control, shot like a great star, appearing before Taisai Seikun at an unbelievable speed.
Possessing the Balance Breaker that grows stronger by killing spirits...
In terms of pure Cursed Energy, Hana was the strongest among them, having reached the level of a High-Class Devil.
But unfortunately.
The Star God Taisai Seikun was stronger.
Bang!
He raised one hand and pressed down gently, preventing the spirit bullet from advancing any further.
The next moment.
The spirit bullet was like a balloon, squeezed until it burst.
The shattered spirit bullet, like drops of water, dissipated around the Star God Taisai Seikun, as if it had never appeared.
"So this is... the power of a fierce god?"
"Tsk, tsk. Aren't you going to act?"
Taisai Seikun glanced at Ayato and smiled. "If that's the case..."
"If such cute beautiful girls are killed by me, you won't mind, will you?"
He extended his two fingers again, but the Cursed Energy he gathered was many times stronger than before.
Meteor Shower!
Countless energy balls fell from the sky, like a true meteor shower falling from the sky.
A sky-blanketing light tore through the night, carrying boundless heat, launching an indiscriminate attack.
Seiko: "Barrier expansion!"
Miko: "Super-tier magic, Lightning Strike!"
Hana: "Spirit Bullet!"
Yayoi: "Come forth, my Graduates!"
Yuria: "Super-tier magic, Tornado!"
Rumble!
Under the collision of their powers.
The earth shook, smoke rose everywhere, and sky-filling dust blotted out the sun.
