Chapter 10: Araya Souren Got Manhandled!
As soon as Rizel finished speaking,
Araya Souren stared at him with a dazed expression.
Origin Shiki and Touko were both taken aback, looking at Rizel.
Why did the killing intent suddenly become so intense?
The people around them felt the overwhelming killing intent from Rizel and all looked horrified.
What, is the Great Demon King angry? Could we be dragged into this too?
They wanted to leave, but at that moment, no one could move. The entire hallway became as silent as a library.
Origin Shiki sensed Rizel's anger; it was the first time she had ever felt Rizel's fury so strongly. She knew that the mage who had tried to harm her before had only been erased by Rizel's smile and fiery gaze.
Origin Shiki gently stroked Rizel's face.
Rizel felt the touch beside him and turned to smile at Origin Shiki, saying, "Leave him to me. After today, he won't dare try anything with us again."
Origin Shiki understood that Rizel knew Araya Souren wanted to harm her. She realized where Rizel's anger was coming from. Feeling this care from her lover, she felt a warm sweetness in her heart.
Touko watched the two, glanced at Araya Souren, and saw him looking at Origin Shiki with an almost obsessive gaze. After connecting the dots with Origin Shiki's situation, she instantly understood why her senior brother was acting this way.
At the same time, she also understood why Rizel was so furious.
Touko couldn't help but feel a tinge of bitterness in her heart. If this happened to her, would he be just as furious? Touko thought to herself.
Rizel noticed Touko's mood and gently patted her head in comfort, saying, "You're the same."
Touko felt Rizel's care and warmth, and her heart swelled with sweetness. She gazed at him tenderly.
The people around them were left feeling like they had just been served a pile of dog food—enough already, don't keep torturing us with this!
Araya Souren, his jealousy rising again, demanded, "Let go of Touko, and hand over that girl to me." He arrogantly referred to Origin Shiki.
Upon hearing Araya Souren's words, everyone around him stared at him in disbelief.
He really didn't know the state the Great Demon King was in right now, and yet he still dared to provoke him like this? This guy's doomed, he's as good as dead.
Rizel rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit exasperated. Was this guy really that stupid? Doesn't he know my reputation?
"He's been away from Clock Tower for more than half a year," Touko quietly added.
Rizel suddenly realized. Ah, so he truly doesn't know my reputation.
"I have to say, you're very brave," Rizel said coldly.
The people around them rolled their eyes. This wasn't just bravery, it was as if he didn't value his own life at all.
He even dared to provoke Rizel's taboo.
They were curious about how Rizel would go about killing him. Everyone knew that when Rizel killed someone, it would either be with a single punch that obliterated them, or by unleashing a red laser from his eyes, or simply by breathing out a cold wind.
After witnessing Rizel's miraculous abilities, everyone had grown used to it.
Araya Souren noticed that the atmosphere felt off.
What's going on? Why does everyone look at me with such pity? I've only been gone for half a year, and it feels like everyone has forgotten my reputation. I'm super powerful, give me a break.
Araya Souren thought for a moment. Now there were two targets in front of him. Wasn't this a buy one, get one free situation?
For his direct goal, Araya Souren decided to act. In an instant, he unleashed his proud ability.
It was a barrier at the Six Paths level. As long as a living creature made contact with the circular structure of the barrier, their movements would be instantly deprived. The creature would be rendered immobile.
The threads shot toward Rizel and the others. Origin Shiki and Touko immediately leapt out of the way.
But Rizel didn't move. He was directly ensnared by the threads and lost his ability to move.
"Rizel!!" Touko and Origin Shiki cried out in alarm. According to logic, Rizel's speed should have reached the speed of light, making it nearly impossible for him to fall into this trap.
Origin Shiki suddenly recalled the time when Rizel had endured Hōseki Okina's endless ether cannon, and then understood what Rizel was about to do. She then pulled Touko aside, asking her to quietly watch.
Although Touko didn't understand why Origin Shiki was stopping her, she still complied and quietly watched Rizel.
At this moment, Araya Souren sneered inwardly, "Hmph, it's that simple to bring him down. I thought he was much more formidable, but it's just this?"
He then looked at the two women, thinking that once he dealt with this brat, both of them would be his.
Araya Souren turned back to face Rizel, ready to immobilize him.
His eyes narrowed. What was happening? Why was this guy smiling?
At that moment, Rizel grinned, feeling cheerful. Here comes my ability.
[ Ding! The moment the immobilizing barrier was activated, master's ability evolved to resist any "immobilizing" force, granting the Immobilizing Stance ability. ]
[ Immobilizing Stance: Everything within 10 meters will be immobilized. ]
How delightful! Not only did his evolution grant immunity to immobilization, but he also created his own version of the Immobilizing Stance, a stronger ability than Araya Souren's.
Under Araya Souren's confused and frustrated gaze, Rizel slowly floated upward and began to breeze past him.
Araya Souren saw that no matter how he tried to use the threads, Rizel was unaffected, still able to move. Realizing his attack was futile, he abandoned the barrier and switched to martial arts to strike at Rizel.
Araya Souren took a stance and directly threw a punch at Rizel's face. However, Rizel raised his hand and blocked it with his palm.
Crack!! His wrist broke.
Too hard!! This was the feedback Araya Souren received when his punch hit the back of Rizel's hand.
Araya Souren jumped back a few paces, turned around, and lifted his leg to deliver a full kick.
Thud, crack.
Araya Souren's kick struck Rizel's face, but once again, Rizel blocked it with the back of his hand.
However, his ankle broke.
Araya Souren winced in pain, his face contorting as he looked at Rizel. What a monster! This damn body is harder than steel!
Araya Souren, unable to continue, began to feel discouraged.
Rizel's expression darkened. Damn it, am I eating my meals with my face? What's the deal with you aiming at my face both times?
"Although your punches look handsome, why do you always aim for my face? Are you jealous of my good looks?"
Rizel said with a mocking grin.
The people around and Touko all rolled their eyes. Seriously, how shameless.
"Even though you're handsome, could you please show some humility?" they thought.
Meanwhile, Origin Shiki looked at Rizel with a smile, resembling a virtuous wife quietly observing her boastful husband.
Araya Souren, a bit enraged, was still unable to do anything and sighed repeatedly.
He thought for a moment and decided to try reasoning with words instead.
"Do you know what I'm after? Why are you trying to stop me?" Araya Souren's eyes were filled with madness.
"I have been pursuing this for so long, now that it's finally before me, what is your problem?"
"I've lived for over 200 years. I used to try to save the world, but I've witnessed countless massacres and destruction. Now, I understand-humanity is not worth saving. Humanity's existence has no value. If this is the case, then let me end the history of humanity!"
Araya Souren spread his arms wide, speaking with fury.
"This is my mission! Do you understand, you idiot?" He shouted.
The people around, upon hearing this, were filled with fear. Well, that's a prime example of an extremist.
Origin Shiki coldly gazed at Araya Souren, a hint of mockery on her lips.
You want to end humanity's history? Forget whether you have the ability to do so; Alaya will absolutely stop you.
Rizel's face was filled with disdain. In your lifetime, you went from one extreme to another. After a desire to save, you now want to end human history?
Why don't you just try to fly to the heavens all on your own?
"Since you want to reach the heavens, side by side with the sun, then let me send you on your way."
Rizel flew toward Araya Souren, looking down at him from above. With a quick motion, he grabbed both of Araya Souren's arms.
Rizel twisted Araya Souren's arms outward.
Crack — He snapped both of Araya Souren's arms.
Thud — Rizel then raised his head and slammed it into Araya Souren with a crushing blow.
Boom!
Araya Souren felt the impact on his head, and he was sent crashing through the 10th-floor ceiling, all the way through the building, shaking the entire structure. He was sent straight down to the first floor, landing in a huge crater.
On the first floor, students from floors 1 to 9 were left stunned and bewildered.
On the 10th floor, the crowd of onlookers stared at Rizel with wide eyes, as if they were looking at a monster. Although they had heard stories about Rizel, seeing him in person had a completely different impact than hearing about him from others.
A single blow with a mace could destroy the entire building? Terrifying. They couldn't provoke him. Definitely not.
Rizel directly crashed through the 10th-floor ceiling and fell down into the large crater. As students from the various floors watched a handsome young man descend from the air, they realized what had happened — it was all due to this person.
They weren't surprised, though. After all, in the past six months, the Clock Tower had either been blown up or frozen. The entire Clock Tower had gotten used to such occurrences.
Rizel landed in the crater, gazing at the half-dead, half-conscious Araya Souren. He simply pulled him up.
Bang — Rizel swiftly flew upwards, carrying Araya Souren toward the outer space, heading straight for the sun.
Then, he threw Araya Souren directly into the sun. Afterward, Rizel returned.
In an instant, Rizel reappeared at the Clock Tower, standing next to Origin Shiki and Touko.
Origin Shiki asked, "Is it handled?"
Touko, looking concerned, also inquired, "Is everything okay?"
"Mm, I sent him to bathe in the sun," Rizel replied.
The onlookers were stunned. "He sent him to bathe in the sun?!" They thought, His life is gone now.
Once again, they were shocked by their understanding of Rizel. Could his physical body really travel through space? And return safely from the sun? It was almost god-like power.
Touko sighed, looking at Rizel. "You always make such a big commotion. How does the headmaster of the Clock Tower tolerate your existence?"
Rizel frowned. "Hmph! He can't beat me."
Touko rolled her eyes. Fine, you're impressive, I love you.
None of them dared to ask Rizel for any compensation, and they peacefully left.
