——2004.7.29——

While King Arthur swung his sword in the dark, a deep darkness surged in.

That's the light.

It is a "black light" that is impossible in the optical principle, and it is so dark that the edge of the beam reveals a bright white brilliance.

That's not the light,

Although it is extremely fast, it still gives people time to react, and even the sound of it destroying the ruins along its way can be heard before it reaches the rooftop, proving that its speed is even lower than the speed of sound.

But, in any case, it is no longer the harmless pillar of light that the Demon God Pillar projected at the beginning, just for analysis, its name is-

"Excalibur Morgan! 】”

"Heal all wounds, all resentment, our homeland—manifest here!" Although he looked at Hasegawa worriedly before, Matthew, who had not moved even a step, re-raised the "Law Breaker" to block the front, his voice trembled a little, but he still read resolutely: "[Ideal City that is already far away! （LordCamelot）】”

Did she do this once before with a table as a shield? It doesn't seem like a miracle, does it?

Say it's too late, then it's too fast.

Before the jet-black pillar of light swung by King Black Arthur arrived, the layer of "air cushion" that would have only blocked the front of the shield suddenly solidified, like a white stone brick.

The white bricks trembled slightly, one turned into two, two turned into four, and four turned into eight, and in an instant, they multiplied countless times, and then built and combined with each other, and built a miniature version of the medieval giant city in an instant.

The first floor is the plain area of the market and shops, the second floor is the meandering area of the temple and the nobility, and the third floor is the Genting area facing the incoming pillar of light.

At the last moment, the mammoth, sturdy Longxiao Palace rose from the ground, protecting everyone, and in front of the gate of this palace, Ma Xiu stood with a shield.

Rumble! Boom Boom!

The pitch-black stream of light burst in, breaking through the illusory shield on the periphery of the giant city and directly hitting Matthew's shield, and after a brief stalemate found that it could not be broken through, it turned to the left and right and above, and then diverted, washing the surrounding ruins into chaos.

It was not light, but a constant stream of water.

The illusion of the giant city lasted only a few seconds before it fell apart, turning back into a thin shield that was barely visible in front of the shield, struggling to maintain its blocking duties, and the shield-wielding Ma Xiu's body trembled, but still held on.

There was no one present other than her who was suitable to stand in the way, at least not on the outside, Ryunosuke looked around the rooftop.

After a fierce battle, the two goddesses couldn't help at all, and they could barely maintain the "coming" posture, instead of leaving two unconscious girls to take care of them here.

Hasegawa is adjusting to his new armor, though apparently not yet used to wearing it to battle.

Sister Tiger and Kanna's words can only carry out short-range strikes, and they can't help at all for this kind of ultra-long-distance duel.

As he was considering whether to attack with an attack, Ryunosuke's gaze paused on the half of the magic mark on his arm.

Mr. Tosaka can't be considered to have exhausted his last resort, right?

Although he was quite skeptical, he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, and Ryunosuke directly entered the magic power to stimulate the magic mark: "[WuldNahKest]! ”

The magic erupted backwards, pushing Ryunosuke forward like a whirlwind, and in an instant he stood side by side with Matthew.

Ma Xian was trying his best to fend off the Noble Phantasm's attack, and he didn't have time to speak, just cast a puzzled look.

"Ah, I thought about it, isn't the so-called Noble Phantasm just a 'magic costume' that costs more mana, has a stronger effect, and is more unreasonable," Ryunosuke reached out and pressed the grip of the giant shield, and said quickly, "So now, as long as the magic of defense exceeds the magic of attack, won't things be solved?" ”

"That kind of thing—" Martius was about to question, and the pressure from the shield suddenly increased to the point where it almost flew out of his hand, and it was as if the two of them could resist it together, as if King Black Arthur had heard him.

"[Want to surpass this king? You can try it, it's only seventy percent of the king's strength now. A cold female voice came from afar.

Well, not seemingly.

Ryunosuke no longer spoke, but continued to inject the magic generated by the operation of his magic circuit into the shield, fighting against the constant flow of black light.

"I said, since she's not a monster and can communicate, can't you try to talk to her? She probably doesn't like the Demon God Pillar either, right? Olga Marie asked from behind.

"Impossible," Grey continued, "'The king does not understand the human heart,' have you ever heard of this phrase?" ”

"I think you've heard of it?"

"[Don't mention this black one, even the legendary white one,] Yard said in a cowering voice, "[Do you know what King Arthur said when the magically created 'Mordred' came to Camelot to confess him? 】”

"How?" Olga Marie's question almost pricked up everyone's ears.

"King Arthur said, 'I will not recognize you as my child, and even if there is no heir, I will not pass on to you the throne of King of Britain, and besides, any of your actions will be supervised by other knights.' Yard pinched his throat and said, "After Mordred left angrily, King Arthur asked the knights why she was angry. 】”

This one...... Even an unrelated outsider can understand why he is angry when he hears it......

In a trance, Ryunosuke's hand loosened, and after waking up, he immediately planned to increase the force, but found that the force of the bombardment on the opposite side had also weakened a lot at the same time.

"That's a good joke. With King Black Arthur's words, the "Sword of Oath and Victory", which had lasted for a long time and almost dried up Ryunosuke's magic circuit, finally gradually stopped: "[This king specially allows you to rest for a while. 】”

"Excuse me, do we have a reason why we have to be hostile?" Olga Marie asked reluctantly, "Do you want to help that ugly Demon God Pillar?" ”

"[No,]" King Black Arthur didn't seem to mind answering the question, "But this king is the 'will of the world' of this 'Red Lotus Hell', if you kill that ugly pillar, it will lead to its destruction, although this king doesn't like this ugly thing either, but if you want this king to disappear, you have to show your true skills.] 】”

The Demon God Pillar pretended to be dead over there, not saying a word.

“…… Leif is too cunning for this guy either. Olga Marie said in pieces.

"[Just like in the legend of Country C]," Yard continued to interject: "[There are 'dragon kings' in the sea, rivers, lakes, streams, springs, ponds, and even wells, but the specific strength can be said to be worlds apart, and the 'will of the world' is the same, and the strength can be roughly divided according to their territory. 】”

"[Hmph, you should be glad that this king has given you a chance to turn the tables in a desperate situation,] King Black Arthur seemed to gesture around her: "[As long as you can defeat this king, the 'Red Lotus Hell' will disappear, and the Demon God Pillar's greatest reliance will also collapse. 】”

She added and mockedly said, "As long as you can." ”
