Anime Crossover: I Was Chosen by a Goddess and Became the Demon King

It's important to know that Reinhard's integrity, justice, and strength are well-known throughout Lugnie-Ka.

But now, Bai Zhe has displayed such a pathetic state, shattering all the illusions in people's hearts.

Now, Eiko's intention is to make this sword saint even more embarrassed. Doesn't that make people feel sorry for him?

Upon hearing the pink-haired dragon girl's charmingly naive voice, Bai Zhe naturally looked over and gave her an ambiguous smile.

Reinhard, a hundred meters away, was coughing incessantly due to the churning of his internal energy, but fortunately, since the start of the battle, he had been under a healing buff that was constantly repairing his injuries, making him feel much better.

This was also a response to what Bai Zhe had just said.

"Ahem, your strength is something I have never seen before, and your swordsmanship also feels somewhat familiar to me."

"So do I."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe nodded as well, and then asked him, "Reinhardt, I ask you, who is your teacher?"

Although Reinhard's swordsmanship has not yet reached the level of extreme stillness and extreme movement, it has already acquired some of the essence of the art, a level that countless swordsmen cannot achieve in their entire lives.

The Demon King knows only one person who possesses such extreme stillness and dynamism, who has mastered the control over the physical body to the extreme and applied it to swordsmanship.

The world's most ferocious and strongest swordsman—Edward the Winged!

Faced with Bai Zhe's question, Reinhard, who strictly adhered to the code of chivalry, naturally transformed into a chivalrous knight who would answer any question, and gave a rather rigorous answer to the Demon King's question.

"When I was young, I was lucky enough to learn a move or two from my great-aunt, who was a disciple of the Sword God in my family."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe's face immediately showed an expression of interest, the kind of expression one would show when looking at a talented person.

"Your swordsmanship talent is truly exceptional, as you can almost deduce the entirety of her swordsmanship from just one or two moves by her disciple."

It's unclear whether this swordsmanship talent is Reinhard's own or a gift from this world.

Reinhard, who could sense a sense of nostalgia in Bai Zhe's words, immediately pressed for more information.

"Do you know the Sword God?"

The red-haired knight's voice wasn't loud, but it was amplified by the wind under the protection he wore, and thus reached the ears of people within a hundred meters.

This naturally attracted the attention of Felt and the other two besides Eiko. After all, this was gossip about some mysterious and unpredictable sword god, and anyone would be interested in it!

Moreover, the story of the Sword God is widely circulated throughout the kingdom.

Anyone born in this country, regardless of age or gender, knows at least some of her story!

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe, after learning about the connection between Reinhard and Edelweiss, slowly revealed the truth.

“Not only do I know her, she is the purpose of my trip, the person I came here to find, my lover, my wife.”

"The Sword God's...husband?!"

As the Demon King finished speaking, inside Eko's barrier, Cromwell, one of the leaders of the demi-human war forty years ago, who had witnessed the overwhelming and irresistible power of the sword god, showed an expression of disbelief.

It's worth noting that Edelweiss remains a nightmare for survivors of that war, to the point that even dreaming about it at night can instantly wake them up in terror!

Noticing that Cromwell was trembling, Felt immediately asked curiously, "Is there a sword god that scary, Cromwell? Is she ugly?"

But she heard rumors that the sword god was so beautiful that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a goddess who descended to earth!

But why does Lord Rom react so strongly whenever someone mentions this sword god?

Upon hearing this, Cromwell gently stroked Felt's head, his somewhat cloudy eyes revealing his fear of the Sword God this time, but even so, he still explained to the blonde, red-eyed girl:

"Which sword goddess is she...? Not only is she not ugly, but she's quite beautiful. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's the most holy and perfect woman in the world, but..."

However, this appearance is utterly insignificant in the face of mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

He still remembers that war. Because the contemporary sword saint was unwilling to kill, the kingdom spent a huge sum of money to ask the other side's teacher, the sword god, to take action.

That battle was so fierce that rivers of blood flowed, cries of agony filled the air, and even the earth was stained crimson!

After this battle, the Sword God became a symbol of the kingdom's military power and a swordsmanship teacher admired by the people, thus gaining both fame and fortune.

On the contrary, the demi-humans who failed to resist not only did not change their situation of being discriminated against in the kingdom, but some nobles even treated the demi-humans in their own territories even worse, as if they wanted to squeeze them back the price they paid for the sword god!

It was only because of the passage of time that people gradually forgot the horrors of war that the treatment of demi-humans in the kingdom improved somewhat.

Even more than ten years ago, the most powerful and brave demon race among the demi-humans, for some unknown reason, became the subordinate race of the Sword God!

When Cromwell was overcome with fear again because of his memories, Reinhard, upon hearing this, also apologized to Bai Zhe.

"Grandmaster's husband? I apologize for my rashness just now. Please forgive me, Grandmaster, and do not take your anger out on Lugnica. I, Reinhard, am willing to bear your wrath!"

This explains why the opponent is so powerful and possesses such familiar swordsmanship!

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe gave Reinhard an appreciative look.

"Since you are Xiao Ai's grand-disciple, I can naturally let bygones be bygones for her sake, but the premise is that you can withstand this attack."

In response to Bai Zhe's words, the red-haired knight gripped the hilt of the Dragon Sword with both hands, addressed the Demon King with great magnanimity, and said, "Please enlighten me, Grandmaster!"

However, Reinhard's words gave Bai Zhe a strong sense of déjà vu.

"It feels like this has turned into a fantasy world. Forget about 'Grandmaster' and all that. Just call me by my name, Bai Zhe. I grant permission."

The next second, as the Demon King swung down his holy sword, the star-studded night sky instantly turned into daytime.

The blinding sunlight illuminated the entire royal city as if it were daytime, and then the clouds in the sky were completely peeled away, revealing the sun high in the sky.

The blazing sun radiated the sharpness of a sword, like a god in the heavens looking down on everything on earth, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression!

As the sweltering heatwave swept in from above, the entire slum was instantly ignited, and countless people desperately fled from their homes.

Then, everyone in the royal city saw the great sun that illuminated the night sky, like a falling comet, crash straight down from the heavens to the earth, and a towering pillar of fire, half a kilometer in diameter, rose from the ground and shot straight into the sky, and the fire then swept through the entire slum.

As the flames surged, the scorching heat instantly engulfed the entire royal city, making everyone feel as if they were inside a volcano!

Aiko's defense shattered instantly, but fortunately, the Dragon Girl reacted quickly and led the three away from the central area where the sun was falling before the barrier broke.

Amidst the chaos of the impact and the rubble being blown away, there was a black-haired figure covered in blood scabs.

Meanwhile, inside the Duke of Karlsten's residence, a white-haired beauty dressed in a pure white dress and armor opened her eyes from meditation, and uttered a few words as she parted her cherry lips.

"Is this a call for me to go there?"

Chapter Ninety: The Sword God's Disciple! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)

Inside the Karlsten family home, in Crusch's room.

Like everyone else in this royal city, the slumbering green-haired beauty was awakened from her dream by the sudden burst of firelight outside the window, and opened her bright amber eyes.

"Firelight? Is it coming from... towards the slums?"

Although the slums are places looked down upon by the residents of the royal city, they are still Lugnica's people, no matter what.

More importantly, the fact that the slums set fire to a blaze that could illuminate the entire capital at the time of Wang Xuan's selection inevitably raises questions.

After getting out of bed and opening the window to see the firelight coming from the direction of the slums, Crusch quickly changed into her everyday clothes and rushed to Edelweiss's room as fast as she could.

However, just as the young girl was about to knock on the door, a red figure appeared behind her, followed by a gentle female voice.

"The teacher had already left when the fire broke out."

Hearing the voice behind her, Crusch immediately turned around.

Before her stood a beautiful young woman wearing a light green coat over a white dress, with a gentle demeanor, long red hair, and a pair of jewel-like blue eyes, resembling a blooming red lotus.

Theresa van Astrea, the previous generation's swordsman of the Astrea family.

Forty years ago, during the Ajin War, he was saved by Edelweiss and became deeply fascinated by her beautiful yet dangerous swordsmanship.

Because of his mission as a sword saint, after three years of unremitting efforts, he finally succeeded in becoming Edelweiss's apprentice and became his first disciple in this world.

After achieving some success in swordsmanship under Edelweiss's tutelage, he became a pillar of the kingdom, making many contributions to Lugnica, including but not limited to defeating monsters and enemy forces.

Then, fourteen years ago, when he was ordered to fight the White Whale, he was nearly killed when the Sword Saint Sword Guard suddenly disappeared from his body. Fortunately, he was saved by Edelweiss who arrived in time.

After that, he withdrew from the battle due to injury. He then followed Edelweiss for several years, and later opened a flower shop in the royal city out of personal interest, living an ordinary life.

It wasn't until seven years ago, when Edelweiss took on another disciple, that her peaceful life became busy again.

Although Theresa is now over fifty years old, thanks to the protection she receives, she has maintained the youth and vitality of a young girl.

Therefore, as her senior, she spent most of her time teaching Crusch the basics of swordsmanship in place of Edelweiss, and sparring with her.

That's why I sometimes stay overnight at the Karlsten's house.

Duke Karlsten was not only pleased to see his daughter so close to the former Sword Saint, but also treated Theresa as an honored guest.

Upon hearing Theresa's words, Crusch's face immediately showed a look of shock.

"Could it be that another powerful figure has emerged in this world, capable of rivaling the teacher? And is the fire in the slums related to this person?"

In her memory, apart from the day the contemporary sword saint Reinhard was awarded his medal, when Edelweiss came to her door and they fought to a draw, this pure white, goddess-like swordswoman rarely showed such interest in external things.

Even when he taught her swordsmanship, most of the time he would only point out her shortcomings after she and Theresa had finished practicing.

Seeing the shock on Crusch's face, Theresa added a sentence.

"Probably, because I saw the teacher carrying that sword."

Upon hearing this, Crusch quickly asked, "Is it the holy sword Balmonk that the teacher mentioned surpasses the Dragon Sword - Red?"

The pure and innocent girl, like a red lotus, nodded slightly and said softly, "In my eyes, there is absolutely no mistake; it is that sword."

As her suspicions were confirmed, Crusch, who was usually very organized, immediately showed a look of panic.

"No, if our teacher were to actually draw that holy sword and fight some unknown powerful being, the entire royal city would likely be reduced to ruins, and the people here would also..."

"Could you please go and stop the teacher, senior sister? Just for a little while, I'll gather the Karlsten family's soldiers and head there immediately!"

"...I'll try my best."

Faced with the request from her junior sister, who was usually stern but deeply respected her, Theresa hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

He then took a standard longsword from the wall of the corridor, went outside, mounted the dragon's back, and chased after Edwards at top speed.

Seeing this, Crusch naturally began to gather the soldiers of the Karlsten family and asked his father to try to combine the strength of other nobles in the royal city to prepare for the flames to spread to the royal city!

In the slums engulfed in flames, across three kilometers of scorched earth, nothing could stand except for the flickering flames...

Three kilometers away, the entire slum was set ablaze, and the raging flames threatened to spread into the city!

The pitch-black sky was illuminated by the flames on the ground, as if covered with a thin layer of fiery red.

Just staying in the slums will cause your skin to be scalded and torn by the scalding air currents.

Fortunately, most people managed to run away from the fatal spot before the flames spread. Although they were also seriously injured, they managed to survive the sun's fall, which was like a natural disaster.

At the very center of the flames was a crimson vacuum zone, half a kilometer in diameter.

The earth caved in, and the surrounding rock walls were like red-hot irons, with black mottled spots mixed in with the fiery red color, and scalding magma flowing at the bottom.

This was created by the sun falling from the sky!

Standing with his sword at the edge of the deep pit, the intense heat that could burn a person's skin was nothing more than a breeze to Bai Zhe.

The Demon King's burning golden eyes stared at the scalding lava below, as if he were seeing the red-haired knight who had fallen into it.

Not far away, Emilia and her group, who had survived under Eiko's barrier, felt that even the air they were breathing was scorching hot, and their throats were parched.

Emilia, who is skilled in ice magic, realized that she couldn't even condense ice the size of her fingertip, which was a sign that the moisture in the surrounding air was being evaporated instantly.

Recovering from the shock of witnessing the natural disaster, Felt turned to the pink-haired dragon girl beside her and asked rather uneasily:

"Won't the Sword Saint just die like this?"

"How would I know! But he probably died at Bai Zhe's hands."

"Hmph, as expected of my husband, the strongest Dragon King should be this powerful!"

Immediately afterwards, Ai Ke asked Bai Zhe loudly, "Is it over?"

However, upon hearing this, the Demon King looked into the distance and uttered two words.

"coming."
