CHAPTER 450: CHAPTER 450: PERSPECTIVE OPENED!

At the same time, the magicians observing and remaining vigilant from the shadows were more tense, watching the young boy and girl who were staring quietly at each other as if facing a great enemy.

After a brief moment of bewilderment, Zhu Haomiao came to his senses and thought of the origin of the so-called "Holy Grail".

The legendary Holy Relic that once held Christ’s blood!

Of course, in the world of the eroge, the Holy Grail is purely a magical creation, but in symbolism and original divinity, there might be some subtle connection between the two.

Inexplicably, Zhu Haomiao thought of the Imperial Jade Seal of the First Layer Heaven and the National Guardian Divine Tripod of the Second Layer Heaven!

After pondering for a moment, the black-clad youth extended his hand and smiled.

"Then let’s compete fairly, each relying on our skills?"

Looking at the young man’s bright and sunny smile, Gabriel was silent for a moment, then extended her delicate hand, gently clasping his.

"Fair competition, each relying on our skills."

With an open and candid gaze at Zhu Haomiao, Gabriel calmly added, "If you die, don’t hold a grudge."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao couldn’t help but smile slightly, a flicker of excitement in his eyes.

"Don’t worry, I’m someone who accepts my losses graciously. But if you die, don’t go crying."

Hearing these words, a subtle ripple appeared in her pure golden pupils, and their tightly clasped hands simultaneously exerted slight force, bursting out a terrifying ripple invisible to the naked eye.

The twisted ripple swept through the entire world, causing millions in the city to feel a fleeting palpitating unease, their hair standing on end.

"Hiss~ It’s not even winter yet~"

The terrifying palpitation came quickly and vanished just as fast, with countless mortals rubbing the goosebumps on their arms, tightening their coats, only thinking it was the cold wind slipping into their collars.

However, only those capable of wielding extraordinary power like the magicians could vaguely perceive that it was the "spark" generated by the collision of two terrifying entities.

Moreover, it was just a barely detectable ripple of leakage!

Meanwhile, at the school gate, perceiving the magical energy of the nearby vigilant personnel about to burst forth, Amaterasu took a step forward without looking back, walking to the center of the deeply staring young boy and girl.

"Enough, if you want to fight, take it to the sea!"

Hearing this, the slightly trembling hands suddenly shook, gently loosening.

"Just a handshake, Amaterasu, you’re too tense."

Seeing the black-clad youth’s nonchalant grin, Amaterasu turned her gaze expressionlessly to the blonde girl.

"I’ll keep an eye on the person you mentioned earlier, and notify you immediately if there’s any news."

Noting their serious demeanor, Zhu Haomiao immediately became intrigued: "Who are you talking about?"

"None of your business!"

"Eating without inviting me? Are we still allies?"

"..."

Only now remembering he was still a temporary ally with her, Amaterasu felt like she had swallowed a fly, casting an inquiring glance at the blonde girl.

After thinking for a moment, Gabriel nodded: "It’s good to have one more pair of eyes."

Receiving an affirmative response, Amaterasu then explained.

"Gabriel is hunting an enemy and hopes I can help her trace the tracks."

"For the two of you to treat this so seriously... Is the opponent very dangerous?"

Before Amaterasu could speak, Gabriel looked deeply into Zhu Haomiao’s eyes and solemnly said word by word.

"Extremely dangerous!"

"Oh? Who is he?"

"Vampire Ancestor Cain."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao’s eyes lit up with keen intensity, his mouth inexplicably starting to salivate.

True Ancestor of Blood Clan?

Just hearing it sounds quite chewy!

With a serious expression, Zhu Haomiao righteously and solemnly nodded.

"If it’s such a dangerous demon, I will definitely keep an eye out for him!"

"Once I find him, I will... No, I will immediately take action to kill him!"

Unexpectedly, seeing Zhu Haomiao so condemning of evil, Gabriel gave him a skeptical once-over, beginning to look at him with newfound respect.

It seems... Despite the somewhat dubious strengths and attributes of the Dragon’s son, his heart is still good...

Softening her stance, Gabriel advised kindly.

"Cain’s strength is extremely chaotic and dangerous; even I am not confident of a sure victory."

"If you really find his tracks, just inform me; it’s my responsibility."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao’s eyes widened in disbelief: "How can that be? I am also a part of this city, protecting the peace and stability of this place is my undeniable duty!"

Beside him, Amaterasu stared intently into Zhu Haomiao’s eyes, attempting to understand why he could say this so self-righteously.

Previously, if the barrier hadn’t been set up in time, his fight with Amon would have been enough to destroy half the district!

However, Gabriel was unaware of this, somewhat touched, she sighed.

"I understand your intention to uphold justice, but Cain is not only incredibly powerful, he is also extremely evil, often using mortals as shields and spell ingredients. Once you start a fight, I’m afraid it will affect the innocent."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao furrowed his brow with a heavy heart.

"Such an inhumane creature, I can’t let him off!"

"If he were allowed to grow, he might trigger an even greater apocalyptic catastrophe!"

"It seems... The people of Japan will have to suffer..."

"Even if it means sinking the Japan islands, we must eliminate him!"

Watching the black-clad youth swing his fist passionately, Amaterasu’s expression was frozen, her mouth twitching uncontrollably.

Not your home, so you don’t care, huh?

Sinking Japan?

Why don’t you ask for my opinion?!

Noticing Amaterasu’s dangerous look, Zhu Haomiao patted her shoulder with a serious face.

"Amaterasu, we can’t just focus on our own little piece of land, broaden your perspective, this is a necessary sacrifice!"

"I sacrifice you damn it..."

Blurting out profanity almost escaped her lips, but Amaterasu swallowed it back down, taking a deep breath to suppress her anger and growled in a calmest possible voice.

"I see you just want to wreak havoc and kill!"

"Tsk, how can you slander someone’s innocence out of thin air? Am I the kind of person who doesn’t care about the lives of foreign natives?"

"You are."

"..."

Well~

You sure see people clearly!

Seeing that he couldn’t hoodwink Amaterasu, Zhu Haomiao could only turn his gaze back to the bewildered Gabriel, extending his hand once more.

"It’s a deal then, I’ll help you eliminate Cain, and you notify me immediately if there’s any news!"

"Ah? Oh!"

Taking a moment to react, Gabriel quickly shook hands with him.

Though not quite understanding Zhu Haomiao’s intentions, at least he belonged to the Security Council’s Five Permanent ones under "Abyss", barely counting as an allied force.

Having such a strong ally, two against one, Cain is likely inescapable from doom.

Once Cain’s threat is eliminated, the other divine holy spirits who don’t comprehend the "Holy Grail" essence will find it difficult to compete with me.

Nodding to herself, Gabriel tightened her grip on Zhu Haomiao’s hand, staring into his eyes.

"Thank you, ally of justice."
