Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 482 - Don\'t Any Of You Dare Get In Our Way!

When the [Heaven\'s Light] descended upon Ren it was such a majestic sight that Baldur started crying. This spell was one of the reasons that their Temple of Light could match up to even the oldest of Temples. Even newly birthed world deities would find it hard to survive this one attack.

This was also the first time that Baldur has seen the [Heaven\'s Light] in action. He only heard the legends about it being used in the past when the other weaker Temples attacked the Temple of Light. As Baldur watch the powerful blinding light fall upon the heretic known as Ren he felt excited. The devil would finally be subjugated. As Baldur was getting more and more confident he spoke to Ren using a spell to enhance his voice.

"This is a divine spell granted by our Goddess, those that are under her, will never be damaged by its warm light. Now be gone from this world you damn heretic!"

\'Now that [Heaven\'s Light] has descended there is nothing to worry about. Surely even he would not be able to do anything.\'

As Baldur was feeling satisfied with himself, he saw Ren smiling under that intense burst of light. Even in such a dire situation, he had such a smile on his face.

\'Hmph, just a foolish struggle of a person that\'s going to die. No matter how much you struggle under the light of our Goddess all heretics will be torn asunder.\'

It was that moment when Baldur felt victory was at hand a melodious voice rang in his ears. "Kukuku, what a hideous light this is. Such a thing isn\'t worthy to be in our reunion." The moment the voice spoke those words, the beam of light scattered and disappeared into nothingness.

The ultimate spell, [Heaven\'s Light] disappeared just like that. Baldur couldn\'t believe his eyes, the believers standing beside him could not believe it either. As their confusion grew more and more, the surrounding area started to change. The weather which was sunny just moments ago started to darken, and the sun that was above their heads disappeared, what replaced it was a shining silver moon.

Under the moonlight of that magnificent silver moon was a maiden of unimaginable beauty. Even Baldur who has devoted his life and soul to his Goddess was momentarily swayed by that beauty. Yet the moment he even got that feeling he quickly punched himself. He continued to punch himself until those unwanted feelings disappeared.

\'Who is that demoness that tries to seduce me?! Is this one of that heretic\'s tactics?\' As Baldur\'s confusion grew more and more, he once again heard that wondrous voice of the beautiful woman.

"It has been ages, my love, I Tsukiyomi the eternal moon has once again returned to your side."

…

Ren looked above, before he heard Tsukiyomi tell her name he was still unsure if it was really her. In the memories shared by Edge and Rei Kuraki, Tsukiyomi was more of a pre-teen type lady. Yet this Tsukiyomi looked like an older sister of the one in Edge and Rei Kuraki\'s memories. Seeing the dumbfounded expression on Ren\'s face, Tsukiyomi\'s bewitching smile grew wider. She then descended with light steps towards Ren.

Now that she was right in front of him, Ren was sure that this certainly was the Tsukiyomi that Edge and Rei Kuraki knew, albeit a more mature version.

"Have you once again fallen for my charm? It has been such a long time. As I have expected wherever the battle is that\'s where I shall find you. So before we bask in the light of our reunion can you tell me your current name?"

"It\'s Ren… So you\'re Tsukiyomi. I\'ve been wanting to meet you for a long time as well!" Ren then showed a very vicious smile in front of Tsukiyomi. The moment Tsukiyomi saw that smile she quickly created a sword. This was one of her abilities as an Ethereal [Weapon creation].

Tsukiyomi quickly blocked the incoming strike made by Ren and then countered, but Ren was able to evade with ease. After that brief exchange, the two of them took some distance.

"Kukuku, as expected of my beloved. Even though this is technically our first meeting, to attack me like this the moment we meet was already something I expected you to do. Unlike Edge and Rei, it would seem that your current incarnation is more true to his desires. Kukuku, I understand that only a reunion with blood and steel will suit the two of us. Come then my beloved, let us share a dance the deadly and beautiful dance of battle that you so love!"

Tsukiyomi took a stance, it was the same stance Edge Regius uses, the Moon Edge Style\'s first form [Hazy Moon].

"As expected of one of the longest companions of the Strongest Mortal Soul, you understand what I want!"

Ren charged at Tsukiyomi with Snertal at hand, the moment he got close enough Ren lowered his body as Tsukiyomi\'s blade flew past him. That was Moon Edge Style\'s [Crescent Moon] it was one of the fastest slashes of the style. Ren already predicted that Tsukiyomi would start with that move, so he was able to evade it despite unable to follow the strike.

Ren was then about to counter, but Tsukiyomi was still faster. Tsukiyomi passed by Ren and used Moon Edge Style\'s [Moonlit Dance]. This was a technique that makes a hundred sword slashes look like one. So in an outsider\'s viewpoint Tsukiyomi had only slashed once, but the truth was numerous slashes happened in that one instance. Yet Ren was able to block all those strikes. When Tsukiyomi saw that she grew excited as well.

"Kukuku, as I expected only you can make me feel this way!" Tsukiyomi shouted in a voice full of ecstasy.

"Then let\'s get even more excited, Tsukiyomi!" As Ren and Tsukiyomi were about to begin another exchange the knights of the Temple of Light had surrounded them.

"Kukuku, how boorish of you knights. Can\'t you see that this is a lovers reunion, we have no time to entertain you knights." Tsukiyomi was still smiling but the aura she was emitting was becoming deadlier by the second.

"She\'s right, if you want to play as well, you guys better come back after we\'re finished." Ren glared at the knights that disrupted them. Ren and Tsukiyomi then spoke in unison as they began to attack the knights.

"Don\'t any of you dare get in our way!"
