Almost in the instant they received the news, the knights who had been staying at Tintagel set off for Ector's estate.
They had stayed here for so long just to have a chance to see the new king.
"So many people..." Kay stood by the window, looking down at the crowded courtyard below, his face showing a hint of envy.
He had never seen anyone with such a strong presence, capable of gathering so many people in such a short time with just a few words. Even his father, Ector, who...

Mikoto knew Renault would come to watch, but she never expected so many people to be here.
Beside Mikoto, a long-unseen Raiden Mei nervously looked ahead, adjusting her mood, oblivious to Renault and the others.
Seeing Mei, who was nervous beside her, Mikoto also held her hand and spoke in a hushed voice, "Come on, it's just an exam, right? You've worked hard for so long, and getting nervous now would be counterproductive. Just show your true strength."
Although, after the n...

After Homura arrived at the convenience store, he picked up a chicken and some seasonings, bought a few medicinal herbs, and headed back.
He knocked on the apartment door and waited for Mafuyu to open it.
"Welcome back..."
However, after those words came out of Mafuyu's mouth, both she, who spoke the words, and Homura, who heard them, were somewhat taken aback.
Homura quickly smiled and responded.
"Yeah, I'm back."
After hearing his response, Ma...

Agravain was truly impressive.
In just an hour, even before the sky had fully darkened, he had everything the banquet required sorted out, from materials to manpower.
And then came the delightful banquet time.
Apart from the Artoria Species, other members of the court were also present.
Whether it was the Knights of the Round Table, the Mages of the Illuminati, or even the key figures of the empire.
Of course, most of them were Artorius's close associates. Those ...

"I'll never let you go, Ex."
Speaking such affectionate words in this situation almost made Ex feel like crying.
"You're bullying me."
Saying these words with tears in her eyes, Ex bit hard into Artorius's shoulder.
"!!!"
'It hurt!'
Artorius shouted inwardly as Ex bit down fiercely, probably leaving marks on his collarbone.
Yet she still had that teary-eyed look, and anyone witnessing this scene would conclude that she was the one being bullied.

Arkhan clenched his fists, feeling the surging power coursing through his body, a hint of ecstasy appearing on his face.
"This... is this the power of the legendary Dragon of Despair?"
Arkhan muttered, then summoned his spear, Gae Bolg, and gave it a gentle squeeze.
*Crack!*
Gae Bolg instantly snapped in half!
This spear had been personally crafted by the Queen of the Land of Shadows from the toughest bones of sea creatures called Curruid. For sixteen ye...

'Three years...' Arkhan pondered for a moment while stroking his chin and then asked, "So, where is your true body right now?"
Since there was a time limit, he needed to assess the difficulty beforehand; otherwise, he might end up diving headfirst into it and not even know how he would die.
If there were no time limitations, he could have waited until he collected all the Divine Keys and then gone. By that time, he could have used Shamash to clear a path, unstoppable even by gods....

After learning about this matter, Renault called Ryukyu.
Upon hearing that Renault indeed knew about the matter, Ryukyu didn't hide anything.
"There have been cases of disappearances happening everywhere, but to avoid causing panic, these cases have been kept under wraps. Pro Heroes from all over the country are conducting investigations, some openly, some covertly."
"Any results yet?"
Ryukyu shook her head and replied, "No, the culprits are like ghosts, never leaving ...

Meanwhile, the battle between Artorius and Ex continued relentlessly.
"Very good!" Artorius exclaimed with excitement.
Similar to facing Z, but in a different way, Ex didn't get stronger the more they fought, as her stamina was limitless, thanks to her 'Infinite Black Bean Paste', allowing her to engage in high-intensity combat continuously.
This kind of high-intensity combat, without worrying about the opponent resorting to cheap tricks, was truly satisfying.

Another opponent had been eliminated.
Unlike the fearless and indomitable Lion King who relied on sheer power and constantly enhanced her abilities, Z was a different kind of invincibility.
The former had used flexibility to overcome strength, and the latter had used trickery. Artorius had managed to outmaneuver them both. However, he wondered if the next opponent would be as formidable.
Taking a deep breath, Artorius glanced at the other side of the battlefield.

"Hmph! I have nothing to say to you."
Listening to the echoing voice in his mind, Arkhan responded with a hint of resignation, "Hey, we both have our grievances, okay? It's Merlin who stole your power, and I'm just a victim here. Besides, you saw it earlier, right? I killed him twice, that was including your part. Isn't that proof enough of my sincerity?"

Homura sighed, taking a quick step to kick a small stone lying ahead of Mafuyu.
Unfortunately, his sudden move surprised her, causing her to lose her balance and stagger.
Thud!
She only regained her balance when her shoulder hit a tree, shaking it slightly.
However, without warning, something fell from the tree and landed on her head.
In that instant, the air seemed to freeze.
Homura was completely dumbfounded.

Artorius watched Z with a hint of helplessness as if he were a loving father looking at his mischievous daughter.
Even though, in terms of blood relations, it was the other way around, the way he looked at her made him feel like he could even be her grandfather in terms of maturity.

In the moment of resurrection, Merlin's figure disappeared from his original location, only to reappear five or six meters away from Arkhan, maintaining a safe distance.
Arkhan didn't find this surprising. If Merlin couldn't react after being killed twice in a row, he would have long become fertilizer for some unknown flower by now.

This was in Ector's estate, the small cabin where he had resided for over half a year.

At the crucial moment, Artorius abandoned his plan to go down with Lion King.
At the same time, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. If he just lowered his head slightly, he could see that his abdomen had been pierced.
Similarly, at this critical moment, Lion King made the same choice as Artorius.
That was to show mercy.

In Norse mythology, the black dragon is known as the symbol of 'Despair.'
Legend has it that it dwells at the bottom of the World Tree, known as 'Yggdrasil', gnawing at its roots.
When the Yggdrasil's roots are devoured, the tree will decay, and the twilight of the gods, known as 'Ragnarok', descends.
At that time, it will unfurl its wings, flying over battlefields laden with corpses, heralding the coming of the apocalypse.
But where it goes after that, ...

In reality, there was no need for anyone to give the order. Seeing the incoming light beam from the alliance army, anyone with half a brain knew they had to dodge.
The accuracy of this light beam was even lower than the second one mainly because Artorius, as the commander, was absent. They couldn't unite perfectly without him.
The alliance army understood this. Continuing like this would only waste their magical energy without achieving any results.
