I, the Masked Swordsman, started my journey through a Lostbelt.

Morgan swung his magic gun to block the attack from the front.

Several magic guns appeared side by side from the sky.

They were launched all at once, like cannonballs.

The galloping creature collided with the dark green light and the black magic sword in the air, but did not bounce away as expected upon contact.

Cracks spread from the demonic spear, which emitted a dazzling beam of light, like the sun, that devoured everything.

The night sky briefly turned into daylight.

Artoria got up from the ground amidst the crater.

The jet-black armor emitted scorching white smoke.

"Ha, I will be your opponent."

Du Wei's waist drive gleamed with a dark light.

As if to echo Artoria's contrasting colors, it chose to confront her as a dark, evil dragon.

"【Command the Sword! Dark.Blade!】"

【Jump.out.the.open.it.and.burst! The.Fear.of.the.darkness! You.make,right.a.just.no,matter.dark.joke! Fury.in.thedark~! The Dragon of the Evil King! No one can escape...】"

Five evil dragons coiled together, transforming into battle armor.

Dark purple mist enveloped Du Wei's entire body, becoming a part of the Evil Dragon.

The Evil King Dragon form transformation is complete.

The power of the soul was much heavier than before.

Du Wei devoured the souls of 117 heroic spirits, and the increase in their quality alone further enhanced his strength.

The spreading darkness was extremely dangerous.

Intuition was warning Artoria that she must never treat the other party as a mere human.

You could tell she was on guard.

Since they won't attack us, then we'll have them attack us.

"Aren't you planning to launch an attack?"

Du Wei thrust out his sword like flowing water.

That was an extraordinary sonic boom speed, and each step caused dozens of explosions in the air.

Her golden hair flew about in a messy, flying motion.

Before Artoria could dodge, several strands of her hair were cut off, and a barely visible bloodstain appeared on her face.

The blade is sharp and precise.

Du Wei's obvious slowness contrasts with Artoria's.

Her speed decreased considerably after the reversal, but her advantage was a significant improvement in defense.

Du Wei slowed down his movements.

Artoria seized the opportunity and swung her sword.

The demonic sword, which was about to slash at its opponent, was blocked in the next second, and the swift slash struck the opponent's shoulder.

*Pfft!*

The once-proud defenses shattered suddenly.

Artoria staggered back several steps, then activated the Dragon's Furnace within her body at high speed.

The injury is incurable...!?

Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

Artoria attempted to heal her injuries once more.

It turned out that the injury still could not be healed, as if an invisible curse was hanging over him.

She has a certain degree of resistance to magic.

After the reversal, the A-grade magic resistance drops to B-grade.

With B-rank magic resistance, one can deal with curses; if it doesn't work, it can only be described as having an effect similar to a Noble Phantasm.

It cannot be removed by magic.

Artoria has no means to break the curse.

"So....!"

She gripped the demon sword with both hands in reverse.

Another massive burst of magic power erupted, releasing the slashing energy that had been stored within the demonic sword once more.

The release of energy resembled a natural disaster.

Half of the houses in the royal city were swept away by a single sword strike, and the resulting series of explosions leveled everything to the ground.

"interesting!"

Du Wei grinned and lifted his cloak.

Just as it is about to be struck by the dark light, the suction force is released, transforming all the brute power into offensive power.

Everything was sucked in.

Just like the literal meaning.

Du Wei absorbed the dim light of the King's hammer.

In return, he swung his sword into the air, releasing a dark, turbid stream that crashed into Artoria.

Boom!

The Immaculate City was gradually destroyed.

Even as the heat dissipates, she still stands tall like a mountain.

Their momentum seemed somewhat weaker than before.

Several clear cracks appeared on the mask, and several fragments fell off with a soft clatter.

"call....."

Artoria exhaled a breath of stale air, released her magic once more, and leaped into the air with her sword, charging towards her target.

Instantly, Du Wei lowered his guard.

The demonic sword struck his neck squarely, sending sparks flying through the air.

It leaves no mark, not even a trace on the skin.

"It's not enough, it's too shallow..."

A hint of amusement flickered in Du Wei's eyes.

The quality of the person before me is too strong.

Unless it is an absolute attack capable of annihilating hundreds of thousands of humans, it cannot pose a threat to him.

"Tch...!"

Artoria sees that the slashing attack is ineffective.

Following her intuition, she channeled all the magical power she used to activate her Noble Phantasm into the Demon Sword.

This move was quite amusing to Du Wei.

It's as if she wanted to hurt him with all her might, which is a bit too cute.

"King's Hammer, reverse the dawn—devour the light, [Excalibur.Morgan]!!"

Artoria gripped the sword tightly with both hands.

The magic was like a raging torrent crashing over the mountains, crushing and shattering the surrounding ground from her center.

Release with full force in the direction of Du Wei.

She completely disregarded whether the dragon vein's magic was sufficient.

The dim light, powerful enough to penetrate millions of meters away, melted the chalk walls and easily altered the terrain of the plains.

The ground shattered, and an explosion erupted.

Du Wei took the blow at point-blank range.

The attack was originally intended to cause him some damage.

Unfortunately, the Evil Dragon possesses unique abilities.

The armor shimmered with a dark purple light as it absorbed and processed the magical power released by the Noble Phantasm.
