A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

"Come forth, my thunder!"

After the announcement, golden lightning descended from the sky, falling into Shirou's hand and condensing into a huge golden lightning spear.

Then, Shirou suddenly hurled the Thunder Spear at Luo Hao!

As the gun was thrown, the surrounding area instantly transformed into a domain of lightning, with bolts of lightning raging and thunder rumbling.

You can't hit me!

With a confident smile on her face, Luo Hao was about to use the "Shrinking Earth Divine Foot Technique," which would allow her to teleport instantly.

Although she was in the air, the spell still greatly increased her speed, allowing her to dodge the thunderbolt before it struck her.

At that moment, Luo Hao heard the metallic sound of chains stretching all around him.

"The Chains of Heaven!"

The golden wedge, pulling the silver chain, easily pierced Luo Hao's wrists and ankles, imprisoning her in place.

The more they struggled, the stronger the chains became, and the harder it was to break free.

"Varied----!?"

Luo Hao looked anxious. She had already used up a lot of her spell power. If she couldn't avoid it in another way, she would need a lot of spell power to cast the "Dragon Roar and Tiger Howl Technique".

As a result, she will soon find herself in a losing position in this battle.

Luo Hao, who considered himself to be the ultimate martial artist, naturally did not want to fail like this, or at least not so easily.

"Aaaaaah!!!" Luo Hao cried out in pain and anger as she pulled on the chains with all her might.

Bright red blood flowed down, and the girl's long, black hair clung messily to her delicate face.

The Chains of Heaven are not indestructible. Even if they can bind beings with divinity, powerful beings can break free with just a little effort and time.

Luo Hao poured all his magical power into it, pushing it to its limit, and finally, accompanied by '

With a snap, the chain broke.

"...You'll have to pay for it if you break it like this."

Shirou frowned slightly, looking at the beautiful girl who had used up all her magical power after breaking free of her chains.

"How about it, do you want to continue?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Hao stared intently at Shirou with her emerald green eyes for a long while before finally letting out a long sigh.

"No need. I lost today. I gave it my all, but you were still able to handle it with ease. This shows the gap between us."

As Luo Hao spoke so frankly, a special glint appeared in his eyes.

"In the more than two hundred years since I became a god-slayer, you are the first person to defeat me. Just you wait. When I become stronger, I will definitely challenge you again and reclaim my position as the strongest!"

After uttering these words, Luo Hao's body was enveloped in white mist, and he vanished from Shirou's sight in an instant.

"Are you leaving..."

Shirou looked around at the now quiet surroundings and listened to the noise of the city traffic. Without wasting any more time, he returned to the villa area.

Although the battle with Cult Leader Luo Hao did not directly touch the ground, the aftershocks alone left the area in ruins.

"It seems the Official History Compilation Committee will also suffer losses this time."

Back at the villa, Erica and the others immediately came forward with concern.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"Do I look like I'm in trouble?" Shirou patted his spotless black shirt and replied with a smile.

"By the way, did Luo Hao come to Japan this time just to duel with me?"

Erica shook her head.

"That's not all. When that Luo Hao Sect Leader came, she was very confident, believing that after defeating you, she could immediately go to the Xitian Palace Shrine on 'Sunlight Mountain'. Her other purpose was to find the 'Disobedient God' Monkey God Lord hiding in Xitian Gong!"

Upon hearing Erica's explanation, Shirou immediately understood.

“I see. No wonder she left in such a hurry. However, she has exhausted her magical power. It is not a wise move for her to fight that monkey in this state.”

Chapter 83 High Attack, Low Imitation Knight Princess

With that, Shirou gave the instructions to Erica.

"Erica, let's head to Nishitengu Shrine at Nikko Mountain immediately."

"Yes!" came the immediate responses.

This trip only included two 'priestesses' and a knight princess, while the two maids were not brought along for their safety.

……

Thousands of birds and all-rounders.

The cool-toned gray-white clouds unexpectedly blocked the sunlight, making the clouds appear even grayer.

Thick black clouds pressed down on the sky, obscuring the bright sunshine of the morning. The dark sky seemed about to fall, and the entire city fell into a brief silence.

Through Yuri's connections, Sayamiya Kaoru, the head of the Tokyo branch of the Official History Compilation Committee, contacted Kuhozuka Iegi without delay.

Now, at the entrance of the villa, everyone is making preparations for heading to the Western Heaven Palace.

"Lord Orihara, the carriage is ready for you. We hope you can let us go together. We also want to investigate the inside story of the Kufuzuka family."

Amakasu Touma bowed respectfully and explained the intentions of the "Official History Compilation Committee".

There is no need to hide one's intentions in front of the "King." Doing so would only lead to self-destruction, which they cannot afford to bear right now. Therefore, they can only act humble and rely on the "King" to survive.

Even a luxury car that can comfortably accommodate six people speeds along the city streets.

Amakasu Touma, who was holding the steering wheel and acting as the driver, said in a very serious tone.

"This Nikko Road is an ancient road that runs from Toyo Bridge to Nikko Toshogu Shrine to pay homage to Tokugawa Ieyasu. There are twenty post stations along this road. We have already passed Senju-ju, Kusaka-ju, and Koshigaya-ju. People used to walk along this road."

Tokaido, Nakasendo, Koshu Street, Nikko Street, and then Okushu Street.

They are currently driving on one of these five streets.

"It's more convenient and takes less time, which is a bad habit of modern people. Sometimes I wonder if I should experience the hardships of the ancients."

Amakasu Touma remarked in this way.

"Modernity has its advantages, which proves that the times are progressing, doesn't it?"

Shirou said with a light laugh.

“Hmm…you’re right.” Touma Amakasu nodded.

While the two men chatted idly in the front seats, the women in the back seats seemed quite lively.

"So, does that mean, Erica, you are the 'King's' legal wife?"

Yuri asked Erica.

“What are you thinking? How could that be? She’s only at the same level as me now,” Liliana retorted immediately.

In every aspect, losing to Ai

Rika was nothing to be thankful for for her.

“Heh, oh dear~ Everyone knew this was going to happen eventually, right?” Erica said with a smile.

"At least, I don't know. In my opinion, you are a treacherous minister who will tarnish my lord's future... Yuri Mariya, you'd better forget all of Erica's words. And what you should remember is that a true knight cannot be bound by his own position and responsibility."

"What...what does this mean, Liliana?"

Yuri was momentarily stunned, unable to understand what Liliana was saying.

"Indeed, order is important, but it is not everything. Regardless of one's own position, the most important thing is to be loyal to one's lord silently. This is the true way of chivalry. Anyone who is bound by things like fighting for the rightful wife or the king's closest lover has a problem with their awareness."

Liliana answered without question.

"Oh oh oh!!"

Yuri was immediately awestruck by Liliana's speech, which was filled with lofty ideals, and expressed her admiration.

"Don't be bound by order, serve the 'King' wholeheartedly, ah... that's what it means."

"Yes, yes, this spirit is very important, I have high hopes for you." Liliana nodded.

"Hehe, lofty things always make people blind."

Erica said with a light laugh.

"In the end, Liliana, do you deny that you are the 'King's' woman?"

Her question left Liliana momentarily stunned.

"I……"

A feeling of embarrassment welled up inside her, causing the silver-white knight princess's cheeks to flush red.

"I won't deny it... but, however..."

As she said this, steam rose from the girl's head, and she became dizzy.

"That's fine then. What we can do is help the 'King' relieve his worries after the battle. But if we go too far, that won't do."

Erica continued speaking.

"Ah this..."

Liliana was speechless.

Princess Alice, sitting to the side, propped her cheek on her hand, watching this amusing scene with great interest.

……

It didn't take long before we arrived at our destination.

Nikko-zan is home to Toshogu Shrine, Futarasan Shrine, and Rinnoji Temple.

It's still early autumn, but it's already a popular weekend tourist destination.

People of all ages and genders, traveling alone, with families, couples, and even people from other countries—the list goes on and on.

Amakasu Touma parked the car in the parking lot, and everyone else got out first.

"Then, let's go."
