I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 24 He is the King!
The person before me,

He is Sir Hector, Arthur Pendragon's adoptive father.

Upon learning this, Suya felt as if she had been struck by a sledgehammer, her mind buzzing.

At the same time, he immediately realized the deeper meaning behind Meryl's words.

Even if Merry and he were combined, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single punch from the enemy like Seleucus.

Judging from the current situation...

Hector was perhaps an even more outrageous and formidable figure than Seleucus!

If he couldn't pretend to be the adopted son he had lived with for over ten years under the gaze of this heroic knight,

So, once it's discovered,

This knight learned that he was the one who killed Arthur Pendragon, and that he and the magician Merry, who had come along to take advantage of the situation,
must die!
And at this moment,
Hector finally broke through the ranks of his cavalry, sat on his horse, and stood facing Seleucus at a distance of three meters.

The two had some kind of conversation, and soon Hector dismounted, dragging his spear, and walked side by side with Seleucus down to the plains where Sua was.

It wasn't until these two monsters, exuding an inhumanly terrifying aura, approached that Suya heard what they were saying:
"You don't bully the weak, you don't rely on terrain, you fight on foot, and you even want to give me thirty moves. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Seleucus frowned and said coldly, "Even if you do that, I will not show any mercy."

“Come on.” Hector looked at him calmly, stepped onto the plain, created ten meters between them, and raised his gun, pointing it at Seleucus.
There was no fear in his tone; it was as if he were doing something utterly ordinary.

“I am bound by the king’s command and cannot truly fight you on the battlefield, but, vanguard officer of the King of Greece, you need not feel that this is me yielding to you.”

"Failure to advise the King is a disgrace to us knights, leading to the collapse of the battle lines, and now I merely wish to prove—"

"The king's knight is no less than anyone else."

Seleucus nodded, took a deep breath, and said in a solemn voice, "I understand, Sir Hector, you are indeed a true knight."

"In that case, let's agree on thirty moves, and I will use all my strength."

Seleucus said in a deep voice, "If I fail to injure you within thirty moves, I will immediately lead my troops to retreat and let you leave. If I injure you within thirty moves, then—"

"Let us set up our battle formations here and each lead our troops in a desperate battle!"

Hector nodded calmly.

And just after both sides agreed to this battle...

The entire plain suddenly fell silent.

Like the calm before the storm.

Suya stared in astonishment at the two sides about to clash not far away.

He thought to himself, "This can't be right. Seleucus, who leads an army of ten thousand men, is actually the weaker party when facing Hector's cavalry of less than a hundred men."
Then you let the terrain, the mounts, the moves—you're practically standing there saying, "Go ahead and stab me; if you can't kill me, you lose."

Is Hector, the future Knight of the Round Table, really that fierce?

Even at the Round Table, Hector's martial prowess was hardly among the top. How extraordinary must the three people at the top of the Round Table be: Lancelot the Knight of the Lake, Gawain the Sun Knight, and Tristan?
Suya found it hard to imagine, but before he could think too much about it,
On the field, the two figures facing off suddenly disappeared.

The battle began in the blink of an eye!
Immediately afterwards——

"call!!!"

A sudden, exaggerated gust of wind arose from the location where the two sides were facing off!

To Suya, it was almost like teleportation; two figures appeared on his right. Seleucus made a motion as if he were swinging a two-meter-long giant sword down at the ground.
On the other side, Hector casually shifted his feet slightly to the side, dodging the attack and the wind it generated.

This scene occurred because it was an afterimage left in his field of vision due to the excessive speed of their movements. The real two individuals were moving so fast that Suya's naked eye couldn't even capture their movements, thus—

The two people disappeared from his sight.

Suya couldn't see their movements, the state of their fight, or who had the upper hand.

All he could see was the blade energy rising up in front of him and surging wildly in all directions!
Streaks of sword energy shot out for dozens of meters, tearing the ground within a radius of a hundred meters into a spider web-like shape!

On this plain, only two completely indistinguishable lines, one black and one blue, chased each other relentlessly!
The earth-shaking thuds, like thunderclaps from a flat surface, echoed one after another, forming a battle hymn!

"What are you standing there for? Run!"

Suddenly, Meryl grabbed Suya's arm and said, "Get away! If they unleash their Noble Phantasms, we're really doomed!"

Suya also came to his senses. He had already experienced the power of the Noble Phantasm. Even a single strike from a non-offensive C-rank Noble Phantasm, which unleashed less than one-tenth of its power, could create a sonic boom and instantly accelerate him to supersonic speed.

What if these two are carrying an A-rank Noble Phantasm? If they unleash it at full power, wouldn't everyone within a kilometer radius be vaporized?

He immediately turned around, wanting to run away with Mary.

And at this moment,
"boom!"

With a deafening crash that shook the ground, the two figures that had been invisible in sight simultaneously appeared in front of them.

Suya's pupils suddenly contracted!
Because, Seleucus suddenly appeared in front of him and Merry!
At this moment, Seleucus stared at Suya, his pair of copper bell-like eyes slightly narrowed, as if deep in thought. Then, he was about to extend his giant hand toward Suya.

And then,
A beam of light, like a flame, suddenly shot out from the side!
It pinned the spot between Seleucus's outstretched hand and Suya!
Seleucus's hand stopped in front of Sua's head, in front of the burning gun barrel, and did not extend forward.

Suya could clearly see the giant hand, which was larger than a palm-leaf fan, with thick calluses and almost worn-away palm lines.

The moment that hand was placed in front of his head, Suya's breath hitched. Under the invisible aura emanating from the other person, his heart felt as if it were being crushed by a thousand-pound iron block, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Seleucus suddenly raised his head, looked at the cold, handsome figure that had appeared to his side, and asked hesitantly:
"You abandoned the army and left just for this brat?"

Hector, who appeared from the side, did not answer his question directly, but calmly said:
"Your Noble Phantasm should be that banner of the Conqueror King."

"You are not carrying your real weapon, so it would be dishonorable to fight you with this gun."

“But—” Hector’s tone suddenly turned cold as he raised his right hand toward Seleucus, a bright yellow flame igniting on the back of his hand.
“If you dare to harm him, I will use this gun immediately.”

"And all the knights and heroes of Britain, and all the spirits called by the history of this land, will immediately embark on a journey to punish you and stop the king's great conquest!"

Seleucus's expression changed drastically, and he looked solemnly at the bewildered Suya.

His gaze lingered on the flaming spear in front of him and on Suya. After pondering for a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and took a deep breath.

Seleucus asked in a deep voice, "Could this brat be...?"

"good,"

Hector took a deep breath, faced Suya respectfully, and solemnly revealed:

"He is the king!"

Tomorrow is Tuesday, and it's crucial for the second round of recommendations. Please, my fellow readers, make sure to read it tomorrow!

I'm kowtowing to you!

Bang bang bang!
