Chapter 248 Hiro's Rage

Chapter 248 Hiro's Rage

Hiro used Limit Release and his strength has been increased to Rank-C, plus with Starfall Fracture skill, he could seriously injure even Rank-B humans.

-CLANK!

However, Lilith easily caught his sword in her finger. She didn't just dodge or block the attack but caught it with her finger. This was enough for Hiro and others watching the fight to know how strong his enemy is.

Other students were scared off by the power shown by the Devil. Hiro was considered an insurmountable mountain and the mountain was stopped with bare hands.

Lilith glanced emotionlessly at Hiro and flung him back.

-BANG!

She didn't care about Hiro or had any thoughts about capturing or killing him.

Zion and the others did not make any careless moves after seeing how easily the Devil Girl had stopped Hiro's attack easily.

However, Hiro, who had been looking for a chance of revenge, didn't give up. Still burning with energy, Hiro stood up and held his weapon.

[ "StarShatterer Style: Void Annihilation" ]

A dangerous attack that seemed to be destroying space was launched. If it had been a Rank-C Devil Contractor like Barracuda, he would have been killed.

-CRACK! BANG!

However, the result was the same as before. Lilith used her claws to instantly destroy Hiro's skill.

Hiro took his sword and attacked Lilith ferociously.

-CLANG! -CLANG! -CLANK!

However, only by using her nail as a weapon, she was easily able to block every attack of Hiro.

Hiro's weapon, which was a Rank-A artifact, was easily blocked by the nail of Lilith. She showed strength far surpassing Hiro.

The wise choice here would be to retreat, however, Hiro in his fit of anger could not think straight. The only thing on his mind was to kill the Devil before him.

-SLASH! -SLASH!

However, Lilith easily counterattacked and the one to suffer injuries was Hiro who was cut multiple times. Every attack of Lilith was like someone of the Rank-B was using their strongest attack.

Her casual attacks were comparable to the threatening attacks of Rank-B.

-CLANG! -CLANG!

Even when suffering injuries and battling against such a strong opponent, Hiro had no intention of backing down and continued attacking.

-CLANK!

In the exchanges of attacks, Hiro was flung back on the wall by the flick of Lilith's hand.

-BANG!

"ARGH!"

Hiro groaned in pain but he was still getting ready for another round. Compared to the pain he endured for the past 4 years, this was nothing. His desire to fight was not vain even after getting beaten.

"STOP!"

However, before he could take another step, he was caught by Sylvia along with Lisa and Zion.

They had been watching the fight and they could see that Hiro was fighting calmly. In the face of such powerful enemies, he chose to fight alone and he also battled head-on.

If it continued, they know that Hiro could be dead. The only reason why he was alive was that the Devil didn't kill him. That was the only reason.

Judging by how easily the devil was countering Hiro's attack, they know that the Devil was not taking Hiro seriously. Only with her physical strength did the Devil surpass Hiro, since she has yet to release her mana aura.

-TAK!

"This is my fight!"

Hiro said while taking Sylvia's hand off his shoulder. Hiro didn't want to listen to them as his only thought was getting his revenge.

"You should seriously stop!"

This time it was Zion who stopped Hiro.

"You always tell me that we should work together but look at you now! Do you seriously think you are a hero that can defeat anyone?"

Zion asked.

Zion was frustrated watching Hiro fight the Devil. He considered Hiro as his greatest rival and what he was doing was pathetic, not worthy of his admiration.

Hiro was irrationally fighting with the devil. Even knowing that the devil is of higher rank than him, he continued to attack head-on which is a stupid decision. Moreover, Hiro was blinded by his anger and forgot to even seek his allies' assistance.

This infuriated Zion who had been desperately chasing after him.

"It is better to work together. You have already fought with her and you should know that the devil is not someone you can defeat with your power."

While also watching the devil cautiously, Zion spoke.

The Devil girl didn't move and just stood there. The other Devil contractors also just watched the Devil girl, including Barracuda.

"..."

As Zion pushed some hard facts upon Hiro, he stopped. He cooled down a little after getting lectured by Zion. He was seriously blinded by his anger and could not see his friends.

Rather than getting revenge, he should have focused on getting out of here alive with his friends. He could see the concern in the eyes of many of his friends.

He knew that right now was not the time for getting revenge. Not only him, but many of the students' lives were on the line.

"Sorry!"

Hiro apologized. He had been acting selfishly.

Sylvia and Lisa finally felt relieved that Hiro had calmed down. They didn't know what to do if he went on another rampage.

However, even with Hiro calming down, the reality didn't change. They still had to face the devil girl whose power level they could not gauge plus all the other devil contractors.

The only positive thing was that the Devil girl didn't make a move and the other enemies also stayed still.

"What should we do?"

Sylvia asked.

The Devil girl was standing still which was good. It would be a very good thing if the situation stayed like this but they knew that it would not.

"Let's wait for her to make a move first while other students will retreat!'

Lisa suggested.

She knew that escaping was impossible with the presence of the devil. They need to go back to the professors and think of another route.

However, they all can't run away at the same time because the enemies will attack from the back. Which meant that some students had to stay here while others retreated.

This was a good sign that the devil girl was not reacting to them, and other Devil Contractors also stopped moving. This was a good opportunity for them to have other students retreat from this place.

*NOD!

Others agreed with Lisa's suggestion. They could not fight while also protecting the powerless students. And they also knew that escaping from this path had become impossible with Lilith.

Along with Hiro, Zion, Lisa, and Sylvia, only a few students remained. Others slowly started to go back.

Seeing this, the devil didn't do anything.

The Devil Contractors knew that their prey was running away, but due to the devil's presence, they did not speak.

Well, that was not true for some Devil Contractors. In response to the prey running away, one Devil Contractor approached the devil.

"Miss Lilith, we should go after the students. Or else Sir Xalvar will not let us off!"

The Devil Contractor said.

He was very clever as he didn't say that it was his will but that the Devil Xalvar had commanded them to. He was trying to reason using another devil.

-BANG!

However, Lilith didn't listen to his explanation and instantly smacked his head down to the ground.

( Idiot! )

Barracuda thought.

He knew something about Lilith and didn't make a move in front of her. Anyone who knows about Lilith should be aware that for her, it didn't matter whether you were a devil or human, as long as you got in her way, you were an enemy.

He had read many reports of Lilith annihilating a whole army of devils when fighting with enemies. Therefore, many Devil Contractors remained still and didn't disturb Lilith in fear of getting killed.

However, whether Lilith understood what the Devil Contractor said or whether she thought it was time, she moved forward.

Seeing that the Devil girl moved, Hiro's gang thought that the devil was finally making her moves.

As Hiro and others have thought, Lilith indeed intended to make her move.

-RUMBLE!

Lilith released her power and with it, it caused the land to tremble a little.

With her mana aura released, Hiro and others were finally able to know her rank.

"Viscount Devil!"

One of the students screamed.

Viscount ranked the devils who were on par with Rank-As human. Lilith's mana aura was of that rank and many students fell to their knees when Lilith released her aura.

The students there were Rank-Ds and in front of Viscount Devil, they were no different from an ant. Even if they combined all their power, they could still fail to scratch her.

Even Zion and others were on the verge of kneeling. They didn't know that Devil Girl was a Viscount. They have no hope if they fight with the Rank-A devil.

Lilith flew in the sky apparently clueless about what Hiro and others were feeling. She began to gather the mana in her hand.

Lilith was getting ready to use the same skill as she used when dealing with Hiro's parents.
