Chapter-74: Finishing up and Father Spider Appears...

———————————————\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

3rd POV |

Ren disappeared in a flash of fire, before reappearing from fire in mid-air, upright. A fire bird with large wings of blaze followed Ren's sword as he performed a massive overhead circular slash.

—Graaaaaaah! Schiiiing!

The fire bird let out a thunderous cry, Ren's blade which represented it's beak, had struck itself on Rui's neck. Incandescent sparks erupted, like a grinder meeting metal..

"Gah!" Rui groaned as he tried to use his strings countless blood-red strings bundled and cut, Ren's blade digging in through his flesh by exerting more force.

"Nooo!" Rui screeched in pain. "I'll kill you first!" He then summoned another wave of strings that has been infused with his blood. Rui is was always calm and aloof, rarely raising his voice, but at this moment, Ren made him shout and curse him.

The strings tied themselves to trees and then moved towards Ren quickly. Ren, sensing the impending wave of strings, still continued on to beheading Rui, putting more force in bursts of strength.

"Kah! You shitting fool, you'll die!" Rui smirked calmly and menacingly as he thought that Ren cannot seemingly survive this wave.

The wall of red strings came closer and closer until it has reached just a foot away from them. "Go to hell.." Rui smiled maniacally as the wave of strings neared Ren's back—

"—Huh? What?" Rui perplexed at the current situation, trying to wrap his mind around it..

"Are you done?" Ren asked him. "My skin is harder than most things in the world and barely any sharp metal can cut me." You see, what happened was; When the wave of strings reached Ren's back directly, Rui had expected him to be diced to pieces—

—But that wasn't what happened, instead, the strings only cut Ren's haori and did not even draw blood from the razor sharp wires. You might also be wondering why Satsuki managed to cut Ren back then.. You see, Ren directly suppressed his Verlangen and any form of magic and True Ether from flowing and deliberately weakened his defenses to make the fight fair, so he drew blood, but now, Ren wasn't restraining anything, so it was impossible.

"Aww, you ruined my haori." Ren said with a mock cry. "How will you pay it back?"

"Damn you! I'll never give you anything!" Rui shouted only for his head to be cut off in one spontaneous burst of power.

"Don't worry! it's interest free and you can loan again! But your price will be, your life, and...your life!" Ren said as a matter-of-factly. Even though Ren is gentle and carefree to his comrades, friends, and all alike, he was ruthless to any enemy that could endanger anyone behind him.

"Ah...ah...family.." Was the only thing that Rui muttered as his consciousness waned, darkness and blurriness overwhelming his sight.

Ren grabbed his severed head by the hair and came face to face with him...

'Muzan definitely knows me by now, since he can see demon's memories and also see through their eyes with the fact that they referred to me like they know who I was..'

Ren opened his mouth and started to speak. "Hey, Muzan, Yeah, I know you can see me, and you probably know who I am at this point, and there is one thing I wanna say.." He looked deeply in Rui's marked eyes, seemingly looking deeper than just Rui's eyes, like he was looking at something else.

"I'm coming for you." Ren simply said his last words to Rui's head as he let it go, making it fall and roll in the ground before being blown away by the wind, becoming the scattering ash of a demon once known as Rui..

"Now that's over, shall I check on the others?" Ren clapped his hands together, removing the dust that accumulated in his hand.

1st POV | Lucien's POV |

"! " I shouted and activated my spell. "Envelop!" I once again, I chanted as i felt my Spiritual Power draining.

This time, I wanted to try and cast a spell model without a catalyst, so I didn't take any from my bag. A dark miasma gathered in my hand and shot out forming a dark dome around the giant demon.

"Graaaaagh!" The giant Spider demon roared at us.

My dark dome obstructed his vision, but only his vision, if he knows that he can easily get out of , he would just get more agitated.

I also cast to dig through the earth to create a moat and then fill the moat with acid using .

The did fast work, I can say that it was as good as an excavator. The ground around the dome was dug up and I was ready to cast . Once the moat was completely done, I immediately cast the spell.

A bright green magic circle appeared in front of my hand that I held out, green acid liquid spilled out in massive amounts as the moat was quickly filled up.

'Ugh...My Spiritual Power is drained..' I thought, feeling the exhaustion coming up on my body.

"Lucien-sama! Awesome!" One of the Demon Slayer who accompanied me, let out a shocked gasp behind me.

"It's nothing Shuichi-san" I replied back as I backed up from the dome and the moat with acid.

"Please back off a little bit, this is dangerous.." I said again to the Demon Slayers behind me.

"Yes!"

My robe fluttered, taking in a deep breath, I readied for the dark dome spell to dispel. "Get ready for the big guy." I reminded the Demon Slayers behind me, solely focusing on the dome.

Slowly, I felt the Spiritual Power of the dome dissipating, meaning, it's about to break!

Like a bubble popping, the dark dome popped and the veil disorienting the Father Spider demon was gone.

"Graaaah! You, trick, me!" The Father Spider demon roared angrily at us.

"RAAAAH!" The Father Spider demon tried to run towards us but fell into the acid moat..
