I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 101 The Flames of War Continue
Suya glanced down at the Wind King's Sword in her hand.

Compared to the 80-meter-tall owl behemoth that appeared before him, only half of its head was slowly emerging from the ground, and its half-amber eye protruding from the eaves filled Suya's entire field of vision.

The sword in his hand was nothing more than a toothpick to the other party.

How much effort would it take to lift even a single feather from the opponent?
The slight elation that had been rising in Suya's heart—"I actually figured out such a cool move after just a little thought"—vanished instantly.
At this time,
Under the gaze of this colossal creature, he felt his body freeze in place, his blood congeal, his heart stop, and his scarlet vertical pupils slightly contract.

Suya initially thought this was some kind of Lostbelt or Singularity from Type-Moon, since Noble Phantasms, historical figures, and the like had all appeared.

but now,
He felt that he might have really transmigrated into a world made up of myths like the Arthurian legend.

In Welsh legend, there once appeared a giant owl monster named Owl Monster, which was hunted down by King Arthur's knights as a declaration of their conquest of the wilderness.

but,

Damn it, your owl is 80 meters tall?

Can you tell me how these knights hunted down monsters that were even taller than colossal giants?
And at the very moment this thought arose,

"Imperial Will—"

"My holy sword is the embodiment of the sun, the Yang Flame that burns away all impurities!"

"O Holy Sword of the Stars, which dispels the darkness before this radiance and strips away all its embellishments, lend me your power!"

"Excalibur Gallatin!"

A cold, clear shout descended from the sky!

next moment,
A beam of light descended, instantly illuminating Knight Street as bright as day!
"Goo!!!"

The owl giant, which seemed to have been thinking for a moment and was about to eat Suya, suddenly let out a miserable cry!

They didn't even see how it was done, and they didn't have time to think about how they weren't instantly vaporized when such a large and hot beam of light fell down.

In Suya's view,
The 80-meter-tall, mountain-like owl-like monster flapped its wings and, as if struck by a heavy blow, was suddenly sent flying backward!

It merely flapped its ignited wings, and the violent gale it unleashed formed a massive, visible blade of wind that instantly blasted down a row of houses beneath Suya's feet!
At this critical moment, Suya struggled to raise the Wind King Sword in her hand and used all her strength to unleash all the concentrated power within it against the oncoming blade wind!
"Wind King Hammer!"

Then, Suya was thrown straight backward.

He spun around in mid-air, leaning against a piece of flying brick as he plummeted downwards. Just before hitting the ground, he forced himself to bounce off with brute force, then rolled several times in the rubble to barely dissipate the impact.

When I looked up again, I saw—

Even more exaggerated and enormous than the previous pillar of light, a fiery blaze nearly a hundred meters in diameter descended from the sky, with an absolutely unassailable force.
They blasted the giant owl straight back into the underground of the capital!
until,

As the sparks dissipated, Knight Street, which had been as bright as day just moments before, was once again plunged into darkness.

Suya then seemed to come to her senses.

He finally understood why Hector was so eager to become a hero, and he also understood just how exaggerated the power represented by the identity of a hero truly was!
Attendants, professions, and masters are still within the realm of human comprehension.
Heroes, on the other hand, are like those who have taken a nine-turn elixir of immortality or received gamma radiation, instantly transforming into beings capable of destroying streets, armies, and cities!

in this world,
Below the level of heroes, everyone is cannon fodder!
At this time,

Amidst the thunderous roar of knights slaying giant beasts echoing throughout the capital, a heavy footstep suddenly sounded in the distance.
Snap, snap!
A female knight, clad in extravagantly designed heavy armor and sporting long, wavy blonde hair, came running towards them with a hurried expression.

She lifted and moved the tens-of-meters-long beam with her bare hands.

They finally breathed a sigh of relief after finding Suya, who was 'safe and sound' beneath the rubble.

Then, her face flushed slightly, and she gave Suya a somewhat embarrassed, reserved smile, saying directly:
"Excuse me, I seem to be late."

"Sir Suya, are you alright?"

"Ah, okay, that's good." Suya snapped out of her daze and, upon seeing Gawain, who seemed to be glowing all over, realized...

He quickly asked, "What was that scene just now?"

"Sir Gawain, what has happened in the capital?"

"At the urgent summons of the royal family, I, as a knight, have to go to St. Stephen's Cathedral to participate in the princess's coronation and sword-drawing ceremony."

"But..." "But what?"

"After the princess abolished the policies left by the late king in the name of the royal family, a fierce battle broke out at St. Stephen's Cathedral. Before we could even react to what was happening, Her Highness disappeared."

"Also missing were several exceptionally powerful auras."

"At the same time, the Clock Tower detected that the pillar nodes of the underground labyrinth of the royal capital had been tampered with by a great magic. Then, King Perinoa, who was the highest-ranking noble present, ordered us to come and deal with the giant beast that emerged from the underground of the royal capital."

Suya frowned slightly. "The pillar nodes of the underground labyrinth have been tampered with?"

Just then, Mary, who was holding Sua's blood-stained magic sword and looked as if she had just been through a battle, suddenly crawled out from the other side of the ruins. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Sua was alright.
"I chased after you because I wanted to tell you this."

"It's not just the key nodes of the underground labyrinth; the entire spiritual vein pathways of the royal capital, Winchester, have been altered."

Suya didn't quite understand, but still asked:

"What will happen then?"

Meryl's expression darkened slightly. "In other words, the monsters from the underground labyrinth are surging out of the surface at an alarming rate."

"And the direction they are charging towards—is the Golden Iron Curtain!"

Suya roughly understood what he meant, but soon he realized an even more terrifying possibility and immediately asked Meryl, "Which way are they heading?"

Meryl asked curiously, "Which way are they flowing?"

"So, are these monsters crashing into the Golden Iron Curtain from the outside, or are they charging straight at the Golden Iron Curtain from the inside?"

"That must be the inside!"

Upon hearing this, Suya's heart skipped a beat.
Inside the golden iron curtain lies the military camp he just left, and the monster attack there means—

The Golden Iron Curtain is about to fall!

He quickly stood up, not even bothering to brush off the dust that had splattered all over him, and grabbed Meryl's hand with one hand and the hand of the Knight Gawain in front of him with the other.

The two women blinked.

Gawain looked at the disheveled Suya with a puzzled expression.

Meanwhile, Mary suddenly seemed to realize something strange, her face turning bright red as she glared angrily at Suya.
"I don't want to be with you guys!"

Suya didn't understand and looked at her in surprise: "Wait, what are you talking about!?"

He quickly ignored Meryl's strange expression, his face hardening as he immediately turned to Gawain and asked:

"Sir Gawain, does that mean the chaos in the capital is only temporary and will be suppressed soon? And it won't affect the lives of the capital's residents?"

"There will definitely be some impact; rebuilding the damaged buildings will take at least a few days." Gao Wen thought for a moment, then added:
"However, it will not significantly disrupt normal order."

Suya then asked, "Are service industries like nightclubs, casinos, pubs, and hotels still open?"

Gao Wen nodded. "Open."

Suya grabbed the two women's hands and walked towards the edge of the ruins.
"Then let's hurry up and go—"

Meili tried to struggle, but her E-level strength was no match for Suya, whose strength was now almost at D-level. She looked at Suya with a pained expression, as if to say, "You're too fast!"
"No, where do you want to go!?"

Suya replied without turning her head:
"Let's go to the casino."

"Hmm?" Gao Wen raised an eyebrow in confusion and asked.
"Sir Suya, are you not going to learn [Magic Cycle] from me tonight?"

Suya shook her head.

"Time is tight and the task is heavy."

"Just tell me how to practice on the way here, I'm listening."
