Strongest In DxD - Chapter 81

Serafall's eyes widened as she felt the ice increase to more proportions in her body.

Swallowing her pain Serafall increased his demonic power as the purple ice beside her increased further until it took on the form of a long Asian dragon made of ice crystals.

"Go" said Serafall ordering the attack.

The dragon fired with surprising speed for a being of its size against Ren.

But when he was inches away from Ren, a purple glow completely took over him and then he was destroyed to Serafall's amazement.

"Don't be surprised, just as you can manipulate my ice I can do it with yours very easily, and due to my power my dominance is much greater," Ren said coldly.

Ren slowly raised his hand up.

"Zeroth Storm of the Ice Devil"

Serafall's eyes watched as slowly in the sky dozens of icicles formed around her, even looking Serafall knew that by the magical ability of each that would be fatal to those who face.

All Serafall could do when she saw them falling on her was try to defend herself from the rain of absolute destruction generated by the Devil Slayer.

When the smoke cleared it was possible to see that everything within a hundred meters radius had been completely annihilated by the rain of death and destruction.

And in the middle of it all was Serafall with several of the icicles attached to her body, although she wasn't dead it was possible to know that she was in a serious condition to the point of being unconscious.

"How disappointing," Ren said in his emotionless voice.

He purposely hadn't killed Serafall, just as he hadn't killed Azazel and Gabriel.

Death would be a very easy way out of the crime they committed.

Although Ren had killed Sirzechs and Ajuka and let his servants kill the others, he still had plans for the three ahead of him.

Slowly Rem's oppressive aura faded, her hair returned to its black hue as the blue hue and the marks faded as Ren returned to his normal form.

"All over," Ren said with a sigh.

"Looks like you finished master"

Ren turned his vision back and saw all of his servants approaching him calmly.

"I see you guys too," Ren said casually, "I hope you didn't have any difficulties"

"They were weak," Scathach said with a sigh.

"That's right, you owe me a master fight" said Joan and Arturia at the same time.

Both servants looked at each other and narrowed their eyes.

"So where are the bodies?" Ren asked calmly.

Gilgamesh snapped his fingers making a golden ripple appear and out of it came Dulio's body that was still alive but unconscious.

"He's still alive," said Ren, visibly surprised, he didn't expect this from Gilgamesh.

"Yes, although it is difficult to contain your strength not to kill an ant" said the King of Heroes calmly.

Ren just chuckled: "I imagine"

Soon Scathach flung Barakiel's body alongside Dulio's.

"Looks like 'God's Lightning' didn't make a real challenge," Ren commented smiling.

"If this was 'God's Lightning' this God must be extremely weak," Scathach said with a sigh.

Soon Okita advanced while everyone stared at her in surprise.

For the simple fact that she was carrying Vasco Strada's body which was six feet tall with one hand and she had Durandal in her other hand.

"He was a worthy opponent," said Okita in his typical emotionless voice.

"I see, I think that would be expected of the man known as 'The Summit of Humanity' after all," Ren said smiling.

"I should have fought him," grumbled Joan.

"Me too," muttered Arturia.

"And then where are Kokabiel, Siegfried and Jeanne?" Ren asked turning to both of them.

Joan and Arturia momentarily froze at that.

"Well master you see..." Joan tried to speak nervously.

"Did you exaggerate and destroy the bodies?" Ren asked raising an eyebrow.

Arturia froze while Joan looked surprised.

"No" said Joan as she slowly lifted Kokabiel's body in one hand and the head in the other, "I beheaded him"

Ren and everyone blinked in surprise.

"Well it doesn't matter, I can still use my ability anyway," Ren said calmly.

Joan sighed in relief as she threw Kokabiel's body and head with the others.

"Is that you?" Ren asked turning to Arturia.

The woman looked at Ren before dropping all of Siegfried's demonic swords to the ground.

"That's all that's left of the two of them," said Arturia calmly.

"You annihilated them" blinked Scathach in surprise at everyone.

"Ha, looks like someone doesn't know the meaning of holding back," Joan said, making fun of her friend.

"Look who's talking," muttered Arturia.

"Well no problem that's enough for me," Ren said with a sigh.

He stepped forward and raised his right hand which was covered in a purple aura that began to expand.

It was Ren's [King of Gluttony Beelzebuth] ability.

The energy expanded as it devoured all of the enemy's bodies as it stored them.

Rem had already given a mental command to his ability [King of Wisdom Raphael] to transform everyone into shadows and also take everyone's abilities, which Ren should see later.

"Then let's finish," Ren said calmly to his servants' surprise.

Soon Ren summoned his [Darkness Manipulation] and made several large shadow spears that wrapped around the necks of Azazel, Gabriel, and Serafall and brought them closer to him.

"Why don't you kill them like you did Sirzechs and Ajuka, huh master?" asked Joan as she yawned.

She saw no point in leaving them alive.

"For they are still useful to me, unlike Sirzechs and Ajuka, just as they took something precious from me, and until their whole world fell to ashes they lived, for only when every shred of hope, every positive feeling they ever have met is broken, then they met the sweet release from the embrace of death" said Ren calmly.

Plus the fact that Sirzechs is doomed to an eternity of torture inside the holy spear and Ajuka is forced to serve Ren forever.

And Ren even considered using the Ajuka shadow in this fight to see everyone's reaction, but he had a plan and a much better timing.

Ren's eyes changed as his [Mangekyou Sharingan Eternal] activated.

"[Kotoamatsukami]" said Ren looking steadily into the eyes of the three that were opened by the darkness.

The three's eyes lost color as they slowly drifted off to sleep resulting from the illusion Ren implemented along with his [Kotoamatsukami].

"What illusion did you put on them master?" asked Arturia curiously.

Ren just turned to her and smiled, "This is a secret"

Arturia muttered to herself.

"Speaking of master secret, what kind of mission did you send to Semiramis?" asked Scathach gaining everyone's attention.

All the servants knew that Ren had sent Semiramis to kill someone, but they wanted to know who it was.

"I asked her to take care of some loose ends for me, to kill a person who has no use anymore, her only use was to bring Ajuka to me," Ren said calmly.

All the servants stared in doubt, they still didn't get it right.
