DxD: Building A Demon Clan From Scratch.-Chapter 219: Erased

The moment the massive shadow of the Snowdrift Wolf was hurled forward, Yukina chanted in a low voice:

"Using thousands of prayers as a blade, I will pierce through the impure world—destroy it!"

As soon as the words left her mouth.

The space trembled violently!

Wherever the Snowdrift Wolf's shadow passed, the fabric of space cracked audibly, revealing pitch-black voids!

The two-headed serpent sensed the threat instinctively, twisting its massive body in an attempt to evade the attack. But—

An overwhelming force locked it in place, leaving it completely immobile!

Dimitrie Vatler looked up, his golden hair tossed about by the roaring wind, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Spatial lock…"

Surprise flickered in his gaze.

This technique… was actually pulled off by such a young witch?

He was genuinely stunned.

Are all the high schoolers this terrifying?

Was he getting old? Or is the talent in this region simply out of this world?

Why was there never anyone of this caliber in the Warlord's Domain?

The shadow of the Snowdrift Wolf pierced straight through the enormous body of the two-headed serpent!

Crack—

Spiderweb-like fractures spread rapidly across its entire form.

Boom!

The creature shattered instantly, dispersing into a dazzling swirl of purple and green particles.

"Haa…"

Yukina gasped and collapsed to the ground, her Devil Transformation state lifting immediately.

That last attack had exhausted everything she had.

Now…

She didn't even have the strength to stand.

Dimitrie Vatler stood in silence.

The connection between him and his familiars had been severed again.

Clearly—

These two beasts were completely destroyed.

He had only been here for a short time and had already lost three of his prized familiars.

His expression turned sour.

He had expected a pleasant outing, but…

Now, all he felt was irritation.

Of course—

Being pushed this far did let him enjoy the thrill of battle.

But…

He still couldn't accept returning to the Warlord's Domain in disgrace.

Just as Dimitrie Vatler was thinking this, a sharp hiss echoed from behind him.

The next second—

Dozens of glowing green eyes opened in the shadows!

Yukina, still trying to stay alert, froze.

One… two… three… four…

She couldn't even count them all.

A bead of cold sweat rolled down her temple.

Dimitrie Vatler grinned, raised his hand, and curled his fingers toward Yukina.

"Go, my beloved pets… devour her."

Whoosh—

The moment the command was given, a sea of snakes surged forth from a rift in space!

The night was swallowed whole, the moon hidden behind writhing scales!

Darkness engulfed everything!

Yukina propped herself up on shaking arms, trying to stand, but her legs faltered. She couldn't move.

And even if she could…

She raised her eyes to the wave of snakes overhead.

Where could she even run?

As a Mid-Class Devil, it was already hard enough going toe-to-toe with someone like this…

Yukina bit her lip, eyes filled with unwillingness.

If only…

If only she had met Lynn sooner, joined his Peerage earlier, and received the Blessing System sooner…

Would today be different?

Her thoughts drifted as regret flickered across her face.

If she had more time, and the system at her side, she was confident she could quickly become a High-Class Devil!

"Yukina!"

Yukari instinctively tried to rush over, but—

She was forced to raise her hand and erect a barrier.

Bang!

Snakes collided against her shield in a frenzy. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Tch!"

Yukari clicked her tongue in frustration.

The target wasn't just Yukina.

At the same time.

In the Organization's meeting room.

"Hiina!"

Amid the tense situation, Shirona Kuraki blurted out Koyomi Shizuka's original name.

"Understood."

Koyomi remained calm and was about to activate her ability to break the silence.

But—

At the center of the battlefield.

The Snowdrift Wolf beneath Yukina's feet trembled slightly, then quickly stood on its own.

Yukina: "?"

She…

Hadn't done anything to the Snowdrift Wolf just now, right?

What was happening?

Just as she was about to question it.

A familiar, yet distant voice echoed in her ears.

"To already be using Devil Transformation after just joining the Peerage…"

"You've got potential."

Hearing that voice, Yukina's eyes widened immediately.

"L-Lynn…?!"

The next moment—

The [Evil Piece] on her back began to flicker.

Then, Lynn's shadow manifested beside her.

"Huh?"

Seeing him with her own eyes, Yukina was momentarily stunned.

The Snowdrift Wolf happily circled around Lynn's shadow.

Then leapt into his arms like a spoiled pet, eagerly nudging his hands, practically begging to be held.

Yukina twitched at the sight.

Hopeless…

Why was it always so cold and aloof in her hands?

It had never acted like a puppy with her.

Even now, as its master, she had never seen it behave like this.

Lynn calmly held the wolf, raised its spear form, and pointed it at the incoming sea of snakes.

"It has good potential, but…"

"This is how the Snowdrift Wolf should be used."

As the words fell.

Buzz—

A cold glint flashed from the spear's tip, followed by a ripple-like shockwave that erupted outward from Lynn.

A silver arc spread across the battlefield.

Zheng—

A soft sound echoed in everyone's ears.

Wherever the arc passed, the endless tide of snakes vanished without a sound.

No cries. No screams.

They simply faded away.

And it wasn't just the sea of snakes—l.

Yukari's barrier and Koyomi's silence-breaking technique were also nullified in that instant.

In a breath.

The entire world went still.

"…What is this…"

Yukina stared at Lynn blankly, the image of his earlier ability flashing through her mind.

Return the world to its origin.

She had seen it once when Lynn tested it using one of Mahiru's light bullets, but didn't grasp its full power then.

But now…

She understood how broken this ability was.

That endless tide of snakes.

Just a flick, and gone.

Yukina was dumbfounded.

Compared to her Divine Resonance Vibration Technique, her Core Resonance Breakthrough, and even Devil Transformation…

"Return the world to its origin" looked plain on the surface, but…

It was stronger than anything else she had.

But—

She couldn't use it!

Even as the Snowdrift Wolf's master, she couldn't even access this most fundamental ability.

Her expression dimmed with frustration.

At the same time.

Yukari and Koyomi were completely frozen.

Especially Koyomi.

Her ability had clearly been activated, and yet…

It had vanished without a trace.

And…

Not just her silence-breaking. The entire battlefield had gone quiet.

"What is this…"

For the first time, Koyomi's calm facade cracked with tension.

Since inheriting the title of Xian Guyong, she had never encountered a scenario where her power failed.

Shirona's gaze was fixed on the figure behind Yukina. Her eyes flickered as she whispered,

"Himeragi Yukina's new master… has arrived."

Koyomi turned her head sharply.

A figure with black hair and crimson eyes came into view.

She froze for a moment.

They had been analyzing this figure in detail for the past few days.

So he was unmistakable.

The room went completely silent.

Eventually—

Shirona stood and stepped forward.

"Let us go greet him together…"

"This powerful, terrifying Maou."

The moment she finished, Shirona took the lead and headed toward Lynn.

Koyomi said nothing and silently followed behind.

Dimitrie Vatler and the others could be ignored.

But when it came to this Maou…

They didn't dare.

Even if.

It was just his shadow.
