Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence
Episode 224: The Great Demon King's Hall (Medium)
At last, the Seyyas set foot in the heart of the Dacrya Empire, the Great Demon King's Hall, as they proceeded to deal with the enemies that sprang up one after another with Arthur's fighting spirit.
"No! Defensive magic doesn't work."
"What is this!
Fellows fall as if they have lost consciousness one after the other because they have done nothing. Then he unfolds defensive magic, but it also falls as if he has lost consciousness one after the other. And the fear surrounds me that I'm not myself next.
And the moment when the fear of Arthur is wrapped up is over.
Thus, Arthur's struggle alone succeeded in attacking the Sayers to the third floor of the House of the Demon King.
"What do you say, emperor, it's quite a struggle, isn't it?
"Oh. I didn't know you had these hands."
"Wow......"
Two surprised by Arthur's overwhelming power.
"It's not unusual. Fighting is a move that can be used by everyone and not by anyone at the same time. Once you know the existence of a struggle and learn how to use it, it can be used by anyone. But I haven't had a chance to know the struggle. Most people think of the struggle as intimidating and don't try to use it."
Arthur is right, fighting is a move for everyone. But I don't know about its existence, so it's hard to master.
"If we can use this, we'll change our scenery as magicians."
"I do think it would be a lot easier to fight if you had the moves to get through the magic too..."
It was when Seyya was about to say that. Arthur frowns unexpectedly.
But the reason for this was immediately understood by the Saiyas.
"Apparently, they're getting serious, too."
Seeing the man who just showed up, Seiya said so. It was a group of magicians whose strengths would clearly be different from those of earlier who showed up before the Sayers.
The atmosphere is remarkably different from what it was earlier. Probably a captain class among the enemies.
"Sounds like it. I can't get through with the fight I just had."
Arthur was right, Arthur's fighting was not clear to the enemies in front of the Sayers. Perhaps they also seem quite confident in their own prowess and do not instinctively think of Arthur as superficial.
If you can't use your fighting spirit, it's finally time for magic. Seyya thinks so and goes into preparing for the magic exercise. But Arthur waits for Seyya, who tried to exercise his magic.
"It's okay, Emperor."
"What are you saying? If you can't get through the fight, magically..."
"I help too..."
Without waiting for the words of Seyya and Dalta, Arthur answers.
"I told you, I don't need a hand. And this is a lecture for you."
"What do you mean?
Apparently, Seiya doesn't understand what Arthur is trying to say. Because he had no choice, Arthur began to explain the Holy Sword with one hand.
"I thought you said fighting was the same as intimidation."
"Yeah, but if you can't intimidate me, you can't use your fighting skills."
"Exactly. But what if it's a difference in strength that can intimidate you?
"No way!?
"No way."
Shortly after Seyya raises her voice of surprise, Arthur pours his first magic into the holy sword he holds in his right hand.
The enemy looks at Arthur's gripping rusty holy sword and looks at him as if he is grinning. Indeed, the Holy Sword is now rusty and would not serve as a sword. If you are going to use it, you are more right as a blunt instrument.
That happened, and they were looking down on Arthur.
So I see the sight that happened in the next moment, and they're stunned.
As Arthur shed his magic on the Holy Sword, white letters began to float on his rusty, browned body. And the white letters began to shine, the rust of the body disappeared once and for all, and the holy sword appeared true.
"This is..."
"Surprised? This is what the Holy Sword truly looks like."
Seyya was also surprised that the Holy Sword appeared true, but more than that she was surprised by the white letters that appeared in the body of the Holy Sword. Seyya remembers that white letter. That's because Seyya herself doesn't know much about it yet, but it also exists in the Great Sword Death End that Seyya uses when she goes into Demon King mode.
But I don't know about that. Arthur mistakenly thought Seyya was surprised by the Holy Sword.
"And now that the true appearance of the Holy Sword has appeared, the struggle will suffice"
As Arthur put it, the enemies who made the true appearance of the Holy Sword appear to be aware of Arthur as their opponent in character, having struck and changed from earlier.
But that's not impossible either. Arthur's gripping holy sword emits a presence as if he were alive, and at a glance it can be seen that the sword is not just a sword.
And it feels like a monster has suddenly appeared in a space where nothing has ever happened before. Such a feeling makes you recognize nature and Arthur as powerful enemies. And at the end of the day, no matter what you do in front of Arthur, it won't work if you're recognized as a strong enemy. If I were to be precise, before I hit anything, I would be mowed of consciousness by Arthur's fighting spirit.
Thus, Arthur's opponents in the captain class also pruned their consciousness without the use of magic, quickly annihilating all the enemies who were on that floor.
"Now, Emperor, let's hurry."
"Oh, oh."
Seiya was stunned by Arthur's out-of-standard prowess and could only keep up with him in silence. And even then, Arthur defeated his enemies one after the other, and at the end of the sentence, the powerful magicians, who would be candidates for the Demon King, also defeated them in their struggle.
Thus the Sayers rush up to the Hall of the Great Demon King just because of Arthur's fighting spirit, and finally reach the front of the room where the Great Demon King is located.
"Is there a Great Demon King here?
"Oh, yeah. I'll go first, so you two wait here. If I call you, you go inside the room. All right?"
"Okay."
"Okay."
When the two replied, Arthur went straight into the room where the Great Demon King Gilanel-Satan was.
Seiya thinks, confirming that Arthur walked into the Great Demon King's room. It was Arthur's fighting spirit and the floating holy sword of white letters. Both of those are things that Seyya doesn't know, and we still don't know the details.
Especially the white letters floating on the holy sword. What the hell does that show and what does it mean? Seiya wanted to know the answer.
A floating weapon with white lettering that Seyya also hands on.
What is the identity of that letter? And what the letter stands for.
It was only a short while before Saiya learned the answer.
