I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

"Anyway, I'm just a passerby."

"The goal is to wait for the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden to be resurrected."

“Even the ‘games’ during the waiting process have been prepared by Knight Odin.”

Mingxian thought to himself.

He was an orphan, raised by his grandfather, and for him, everywhere was a foreign land.

I am just a passerby.

Since we are guests, we should follow the host's lead.

Thinking this, Mingxian raised his head and looked at the battle on the arena.

Today is the monthly formula ranking battle.

Urban Hexagram is essentially a variety show stage.

This city was prepared for the Festa Festival.

That was a student martial arts tournament held in Asterisk, hosted by the Integrated Enterprise Foundation.

Divided into three-year units.

The first summer's partner battle was the "Phoenix Battle Festival".

The team battle held in the fall of the following year was the "Gryps".

The individual tournament held in the third winter was the "Lindbulps".

The rules, as stipulated in the Star Warrior Charter, determine the winner by destroying the school emblem.

As this is a combat performance, overtly brutal acts and attacks aimed at killing opponents will be punished.

This festival is broadcast worldwide and is touted as the world's largest performance.

From the perspective of the integrated corporate conglomerate, economic success and development are the top priorities, so the "Star Festival" always focuses on satisfying the expectations of the majority of consumers.

The reason for limiting participants to students is also influenced by the opinion of the majority.

Audiences want to see the heroic figures of young and beautiful boys and girls fighting.

Although some people criticize it from a moral standpoint.

However, these opinions were ignored under the operation of super-corporations like conglomerates, and therefore did not gain any real power.

Mingxian is currently at one of the six academies participating in the "Star Martial Arts Festival"—the Star Guide Academy.

It is also the setting for the original story.

As for the Formula Ranking Battle, it's actually just a ranking competition among academies.

Students can challenge other students, and the other students cannot refuse. If a student wins, they can take the other student's ranking.

"Avoiding battle is also a way to maintain rankings."

Naruhiro looked at the girl on the stage wielding a katana, and the university students who challenged her.

To be honest, if it were a program like this, I would be quite willing to sit in front of my computer and watch the live stream.

At least the costume wars in the Bitcam films were more interesting.

And it's quite entertaining.

In particular, young and beautiful girls wield katanas and fight with nimble swordsmanship.

Isn't this the ecstasy of everyone's favorite director, Sakamoto?

Who doesn't enjoy watching women fight?

Thinking this, Mingxian got up, walked to a deserted corner of the arena, and took out the card box given to him by Knight Odin.

It was a rectangular card box, about the size of a Yu-Gi-Oh! card.

Made of a special alloy.

There was a card inside.

The back features a blue vortex, while the front is blank and has iron chains.

Take a quick sniff...

It was indeed a page from the "Heavenly Book".

"I command you with my banner, lead me into the battlefield."

Sparks flew from the card case, and in the blink of an eye, a new layer of steel was applied.

【Thousand Body Scorching Star】transformed it into a steel weapon and brought it under its control. Then, ripples spread around the card box, and white mist immediately enveloped it. In just a few moments, the white mist dissipated.

Mingxian returned to the deserted corner of the arena once again.

He slowly walked to the stands of the arena and found that there was no one around.

"Is this the Mirror World?"

Mingxian easily evokes the Mirror World, the stage for the Rider Battle in "Kamen Rider Ryuki".

However, some have turned to deny this, saying that this place is not the opposite of the real world, but rather basically the same as the real world.

The only difference is that the starry sky still exists even during the day.

Starlight shines down, replacing sunlight.

Netherland.

Different space.

This is an alternate world created by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, completely identical to the city of Asterisk in the real world. Even if it is destroyed, it will reset every day at midnight based on the six-pointed star (Asterisk) of the real world.

The way to enter is through the Knight Card Box, which will attract white mist. Passing through the white mist will allow you to enter this alternate dimension.

"It seems quite convenient. If you run out of money or food, you can come here to mooch some."

Mingxian was lost in thought when he suddenly changed his mind.

Suddenly, a mud-like outline appeared in the empty arena. It was a chaotic mass. Then the chaotic mud was shaken off, and a huge "beast" appeared in the center of the arena.

It was a monster covered in steel.

That's a mythical beast!

That's distortion!

Similar to the false gods summoned by Zarwan in previous battles, they are "spirits" who have not become gods, with vague outlines. They will assimilate with the myths circulating on the earth, and may eventually become the opportunity for the descent of disobedient gods.

However, for now it's just an "elf".

At this moment, the "spirit" took on a physical form, transforming into a ten-meter-tall spider with sharp metal limbs.

This is a mythical beast.

Moreover, it's not just any mythical beast; it's a mythical beast from the starry sky.

"It seems different from Zarwan. The 'spirits' He summons come from all sorts of strange origins. This 'spirit' comes from the starry sky, that is, the stars in the sky, and after synchronizing with mythology, it transformed into a 'divine beast'."

To a god-slayer, a mythical beast is no different from a stray dog ​​on the roadside.

The upper and lower limits differ greatly.

A powerful mythical beast can destroy a city with ease, while a weak one is merely equivalent to the wolves summoned by Voban, or the monkeys and their offspring summoned by the Monkey King.

However, no matter what kind of mythical beast it is, if it leaves this alternate dimension and goes to the real world, it will be enough to give humans a hard time.

"Returning to nothingness".

The unique nature of mythical creatures allows them to ignore attacks from the human world.

Even if an army is deployed, it will be completely wiped out by the mythical creatures.

Or perhaps they are helpless against mythical creatures.

The only way is to use magical power and follow the necessary steps to harm the mythical creature.

In short, it needs to be enchanted.

With enchantments, you can shoot down harpies from a helicopter, and a ship can ram a giant octopus to death...

Conversely, without enchantment, all attacks will be instantly destroyed the moment they hit the mythical creature.

Zheng!

The card box in Mingxian's hand glowed, and the blank card was responding to the giant spider beast.

"That's it..."

"That's the rule. The card box is like armor, granting the knight the right to enter the inner world, while the cards are like pages from a celestial book, allowing you to form contracts with divine beasts."

"Based on the power of the divine beast, a certain number of cards will be generated."

"With armor and cards, humans can use the power of divine beasts."

"As expected of the technology of the gods, it is truly amazing."

The sound of the strings was also quite astonishing.

Divine beasts vary in strength, but large divine beasts possess such power that even a combined force of hundreds of spiritual users forming an army-like organization cannot defeat them in a full-scale battle. Even if a team of Grand Knights were to form a well-thought-out battle plan before engaging in combat, their chances of survival would be very low.

How strong is the Great Knight?

A curse used indiscriminately can collapse a dilapidated school building, curse and kill the people of a city, and trigger a tsunami that washes away the streets.

The power of the mythical beasts is beyond doubt.

Using the [Knight Card Box], even ordinary people can use the power of legendary beasts.

It's amazing.

but……

"I don't like spiders."

Mingxian raised the card box in his hand, gathered his strength at his fingertips, and then suddenly pushed the card box into the air.

In that instant, the card box was imbued with the power of a comet, streaking across the sky and leaving a dazzling trail.

boom!
