Crossover Anime: Starting by fusing with an old sword and summoning Morgan
Chapter 461 The Noisy Arcade
The morning in Kouoh Town finally brought a rare moment of tranquility after the "mythical" storm of the previous night.
In the master bedroom on the third floor, heavy velvet curtains completely blocked out the glaring sunlight.
The large waterbed was in disarray, and the air was still filled with that tantalizing, lingering fragrance that made one blush.
Luo Chen stood by the bed, his long, slender fingers gently pulling the silk blanket that had slipped down and covering Scáthach's smooth, jade-like shoulders.
The usually aloof Queen of the Shadow Kingdom, who manipulated the concept of death at will, was now like a cat utterly exhausted, her cheeks flushed and her body deeply embedded in the soft pillow.
Although her breathing was steady, her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was still feeling resentful about last night's "disastrous defeat" in her dream.
"Even though he was completely exhausted, he stubbornly refused to beg for mercy."
Looking at her stubborn expression, Luo Chen's eyes flashed with a deep tenderness.
He lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on Scáthach's forehead, which was covered in fine beads of sweat.
"Well……"
Scáthach let out an extremely hoarse murmur in her sleep, subconsciously turning her head to press her cheek close to the still-warm spot where Luo Chen had left a mark, and only then did her tense body completely relax.
Luo Chen did not disturb her sleep any further.
He straightened up, and the [Third Star Particle Body] within his body circulated smoothly like a tranquil galaxy.
For his [Crimson Dragon Body], the "high-intensity confrontation" that lasted for more than ten hours last night was not even a warm-up; on the contrary, it made his spirit even more vigorous.
With a snap of his fingers, a well-tailored black turtleneck sweater and dark casual trousers magically appeared, covering his entire body.
Luo Chen pushed open the bedroom door and walked out quietly.
……
Lobby.
Unlike the absolute tranquility of the third floor, this place has long since become a bustling and noisy "battlefield".
"Woof! It's not quite done yet! You red-haired maid, hand the pepper to the cat!"
Wearing a pink chef's hat, Tamamo Cat transformed into a pink whirlwind in the open kitchen, flipping two frying pans up and down in her hands.
"Yes, yes! Coming right away!"
Rias Gremory—the demon princess who once captivated the entire town of Kuoh and even the underworld—was currently dressed in a black and white maid outfit, busily helping out in the kitchen.
Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Although her movements were still a little clumsy, her attitude was extremely upright.
Having witnessed Luo Chen's terrifying pressure last night, which seemed capable of crushing the universe, her only goal in life now is to become a qualified, non-discardable maid in this fairy's den known as the "Fairy's Palace."
"Dad! You're finally down!"
With a spirited shout, Mordred, like a red cannonball, flipped and jumped off the second-floor railing, landing steadily in front of Luo Chen.
Today she was wearing an extremely eye-catching red cropped jacket, a black sports bra underneath, and faded ripped denim shorts.
Her short, golden hair was casually tousled, and her emerald green eyes sparkled with barely suppressed excitement.
"You promised to take me to that place called 'Arcade' to rock the streets today! I even only ate half of my breakfast and have been waiting here ever since!"
"You only ate half?"
Luo Chen glanced at the pile of empty plates on the dining table, which was as high as a small mountain and numbered more than twenty, and his lips twitched involuntarily.
"Cough...that's because the sausages tasted really good today."
Mordred looked away somewhat guiltily, but quickly straightened her back with a righteous air.
"Besides, playing video games is physically demanding! You can't do it without building up your energy!"
"Master——!"
A clear and ethereal voice came from above.
Meilushin transformed into a white streak of light and landed precisely in Luo Chen's arms.
Today she changed into an exquisite gothic-style white dress, and her short silver hair was adorned with a black bow hair clip.
She clung to Luo Chen's neck like a koala, her pinkish-purple dragon eyes giving Mordred a smug look.
"I want to go too! I'm going to win back all the toys from that place! Only I will be the strongest knight by my Master's side!"
"Huh?! What did you say, you little winged lizard?!"
Mordred instantly bristled.
"Playing games is all about skill and reaction time! I'm the number one intuitive player at the roundtable! Do you even know what a fighting game is?!"
"I don't need to understand, I just need to be better than you."
Meiluxin nestled in Luo Chen's arms and stuck out her tongue.
Just as another scene of "filial piety between father and son" and "colleagues fighting" was about to unfold, Luo Chen skillfully stretched out both hands, one hand pressing down on Xiao Mo's head, and the other rubbing Mei Luxin's silver hair.
"Alright, stop arguing. I'm taking both of you with me today."
Luo Chen's gaze swept across the hall.
Morgan was sitting on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a piece of underworld intelligence intercepted through fairy magic, seemingly very interested in the internal politics of those demons.
Sensing Luo Chen's gaze, the Fairy Queen simply raised her eyelids gracefully, her ruby-like eyes giving him a warning look that said, "Go and come back soon, and don't go out and mess with wild women."
As for Saber and the Lion King, these two Kings Arthur were sitting at opposite ends of the dining table, exchanging silent glances over the last piece of "Polar Icefield Red Bean Daifuku" specially made by Tamamo Cat.
Jeanne Alter and Ishtar seem to still be sleeping in.
Meanwhile, Orpheus, holding a bag of potato chips, sat on Tiamat's lap, the two freaks of nature engrossed in watching the morning children's channel on TV.
"Just the three of us."
Luo Chen patted the hem of his trench coat and turned to walk towards the entrance.
"Let's go. Let's check out the city's modern entertainment facilities."
"Yay!!!"
……
Komao Town, Central Commercial Street.
As a town that blends modern urban and academic styles, its commercial streets are bustling even on weekday mornings.
However, when Luo Chen walked down the street with Mordred and Melusin, the surrounding air seemed to be separated by some invisible force field.
Luo Chen's tall and upright figure, his handsome face that was almost otherworldly, coupled with the lazy, superior aura that emanated from his very bones, made him seem like a walking hormone generator.
Walking beside him, Mordred's wild, untamed face, full of androgynous beauty, and his undisguised abs drew the attention of countless young men and women passing by.
As for Melusin on the other side, her delicate, doll-like appearance, coupled with her noble and aloof fairy-like temperament, makes one want to protect her at first glance.
"Hey, Dad. These mortals' eyes are really annoying."
Mordred, hands in his pockets, glared fiercely at a blond-haired youth who was trying to take a picture with his phone. The murderous aura emanating from him instantly startled the blond-haired youth, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud, smashing his phone to pieces.
"Should I gouge their eyes out?"
"Put away your murderous intent, Mordred. This is the daily area, not your Camelot battlefield."
Luo Chen casually tapped her on the head.
"Besides, being looked up to and feared by the weak is the destiny of the strong. If you can't even bear this level of attention, how will you conquer the vast cosmos with me in the future?"
"Tch, I know."
Xiao Mo touched the spot where he had been hit. Although he complained, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a wide smile.
The phrase "Come with me to conquer the stars" greatly satisfied her vanity as a knight and "son".
While the three of them were strolling around...
On the second floor of a café diagonally across the street, a pair of purple eyes hidden behind glasses were staring intently at them.
Sona Shitori, the student council president of Kooh Academy and the next head of the Siddi family.
At this moment, this devilishly excellent student, known for his calm and wisdom, was holding a cup of completely cold black coffee, his forehead covered in fine beads of cold sweat.
"President... are you alright?"
Standing behind her, Vice President Tsubaki Makoto looked at Sona's slightly trembling shoulders with some concern.
"Don't...don't look at them!"
Cangna suddenly turned his head, lowered his voice, and his tone revealed an unprecedented severity and panic.
"Tsubaki-hime, immediately notify all the family members patrolling nearby to evacuate this commercial street! Absolutely no one is allowed to approach within 100 meters of that man in black!"
"The guild master? That human..."
"He's not human!"
Cangna gritted her teeth, her heart pounding as she recalled the top-secret, red-highlighted order from the Demon King Sazex yesterday.
"That's a 'god' that even the Demon Lord has to kneel before. Rias is now... his maid."
"If he wanted to, he could snap his fingers and wipe the entire town of Kuoh off the map."
"All we can do now is pretend we're blind and deaf and pray he's just here for a walk."
……
Luo Chen was certainly aware of the timid gaze from the second floor, but he didn't even raise his head.
He wouldn't bother killing those lower-level demons who weren't even gods, as long as they didn't cause trouble.
"arrive."
Luo Chen stopped and looked up at a five-story building in front of him, decorated with various dazzling light effects and bearing a huge "SEGA" sign.
The deafening electronic sound effects and the roar of the machines could be heard clearly even through the glass door.
"Oh! This is it!"
Mordred's eyes lit up instantly, and she eagerly pushed open the glass door and rushed inside.
"This smell...this mixture of sweat, metal, and electricity! This is the true smell of a modern arena!"
Upon entering the arcade, the dazzling visual impact is indeed overwhelming.
The first floor has claw machines and various music game equipment, the second floor has shooting and racing simulators, and the third floor is the core area of the entire arcade - the fighting game battle area.
"Master, these machines... are some kind of monsters sealed inside?"
Melusin curiously approached a claw machine that was flashing colorful lights, and looked at the Pikachu plush toys piled up inside, a hint of doubt flashing in her pink and purple dragon eyes.
"Do you need me to split them open and take them out?"
"This is a place where money is used for transactions, not force."
Luo Chen smiled and walked to the coin exchange machine, inserting a black card directly.
With a splashing sound like a waterfall, thousands of game coins piled up like small mountains in three huge plastic baskets.
He handed one of the baskets to Melusin.
"This is called a claw machine. You use that joystick to control the claw and grab the plush toy from inside."
"Go play, whatever you catch is yours."
"learn!"
Melusin excitedly took the basket and walked towards the Pikachu claw machine with high spirits.
As a fairy knight, she possesses micro-management skills and dynamic vision that far exceed human limits.
Less than ten minutes had passed.
"Boss! This machine is sold out! Please restock!"
With Melusin's clear shout, all the staff on the first floor were dumbfounded.
At the feet of the petite silver-haired girl, two doll mountains, taller than herself, had already been piled up.
The claw machine, which was originally packed full, is now completely empty, without a single loose thread.
"Where...where did this claw machine master come from?!"
The shop assistant wiped away cold sweat, looking at the terrifyingly accurate mechanical operation of Meiluxin, feeling that he might lose everything today.
Meanwhile, Luo Chen had already followed Mordred to the fighting area on the third floor.
The atmosphere here is much more lively than on the first floor.
Dozens of arcade machines were surrounded by delinquent teenagers with dyed yellow hair and earrings, as well as hardcore gamers.
The joystick was slapped loudly, and various dazzling special effects flashed on the screen.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Mordred pushed through the crowd without hesitation and sat down in front of a fighting arcade machine that was displaying "Ten consecutive wins".
Sitting opposite her was a blond young man wearing sunglasses who looked rather arrogant.
"Hey little sister, this isn't a place for playing house."
The blond-haired man glanced at Mordred's pretty but slightly immature face and let out a flippant sneer.
"I'm the 'King of Fighters' here. If you cry after losing, don't blame me for not warning you."
"You talk too much nonsense."
Mordred sneered and casually grabbed a handful of game tokens, slapping them onto the machine.
"I'm here to cause trouble today."
"If you lose so badly that you have to kneel on the ground and call me 'daddy' later, I won't pity you."
"Huh? You're asking for it!"
Huang Mao was furious and immediately inserted a coin to select someone.
As the word "FIGHT" flashed on the screen, the battle officially began.
However, only three seconds passed.
"—KO!!!"
On the screen, the character controlled by the blond guy was hit by a flawless aerial combo from Mordred's character and died instantly, without even a chance to land.
The health bar was instantly reduced to zero.
"Wh...what?!"
The cigarette in the blond-haired man's mouth fell onto his crotch, burning him so much that he jumped up.
"What just happened?! You cheated, didn't you?!"
"Cheat? With your tortoise-like reaction speed, you think you can make me cheat?"
Mordred curled his lip in disdain.
As a Knight of the Round Table, her dynamic vision and reflex speed are truly at the level of a Heroic Spirit.
To her, the game's visuals, which consisted of only sixty frames per second, were like slow-motion replays.
She doesn't need to think at all; she can execute the perfect combo in an instant simply by relying on muscle memory.
"Again!"
Unconvinced, the blond-haired man continued to insert coins.
Three seconds later.
"—KO!!!"
"Again!"
Five seconds later.
"—KO!!!"
Fifteen in a row.
Huang Mao lost so much that he didn't even have money left to buy bottled water. He slumped into a chair, his eyes vacant, completely lost in self-doubt.
"Too weak! Too weak! Next!"
Mordred excitedly patted the control panel and looked around.
"Is there not a single person in this city who can fight?!"
The surrounding delinquents and hardcore gamers exchanged bewildered glances, finally their anger ignited.
"A little brat like you dares to act so arrogantly on our turf! Everyone, attack! A tag-team approach!"
For the next hour, the fighting area on the third floor completely turned into Mordred's personal show.
Whether they were the so-called number one in the entire region or those gaming masters known as "tentacle monsters," they all fell to Mordred's computer-like precision in inputting commands and her relentless, overwhelming offensive pressure.
"Eighty-eight consecutive wins..."
"A monster...this woman is definitely a monster!"
A group of grown men stood around the arcade machine, watching the victory numbers constantly flashing on the screen, tears welling up in their eyes.
Their prized technology was utterly trampled upon in front of this girl in red.
"Boring. So boring."
Mordred yawned, released the crank that she had been rubbing so hard it was almost sparking, and stood up from her chair.
"They don't even deserve to make me sweat. Is this the limit of modern life?"
Just as she was about to turn and leave.
"Bang."
A game coin landed in the coin slot on the other side.
Immediately afterwards, a deep, calm voice, yet exuding an indescribable sense of oppression, rang out from the other end of the machine.
"Since you're bored..."
"Then as 'Dad,' I'll play a couple of rounds with you too."
Mordred abruptly raised his head.
Luo Chen was already sitting in the opposite seat at some point.
He took off his trench coat, rolled up the cuffs of his shirt, revealing his powerful forearm.
His crimson-gold vertical pupils looked at her through the screen glass of the machine, a half-smile on his face.
"Dad... Dad?!"
Mordred's pupils dilated instantly, and his previously bored gaze erupted with an unprecedented frenzied fighting spirit.
She found fighting ordinary people boring.
But if the opponent is this man... the king who completely won her over on the real battlefield and whom she regards as the only one worth following!
"Hahaha! Great! You said it yourself!"
Mordred sat back down in his chair, gripping the joystick tightly with both hands until his knuckles turned white from the force.
Her magic even overflowed uncontrollably, causing the surrounding temperature to rise slightly.
"Dad! I won't go easy on you just because you're my elder! Today I'm going to beat you up in the game!"
"Yeah?"
Luo Chen held the joystick with one hand, while casually resting the other hand on the buttons.
The Third Star Particle Body within his body began to circulate slightly.
Although he said he wouldn't use his abilities, with his reaction speed and brainpower, once he gets serious, even a supercomputer would have to admit defeat.
"Then let me see just how much my knight has improved during this time."
"——ROUND 1, FIGHT!!!"
Accompanied by a system notification sound.
Their fingers blurred into afterimages almost simultaneously.
The rapid, clattering of buttons was as dense as a torrential downpour, and the arcade joystick groaned as it was on the verge of breaking under the terrifying force of the two players.
The two characters on the screen engaged in an extreme offensive and defensive battle at a speed that was impossible for the naked eye to perceive.
There were no unnecessary movements, no probing.
Every frame's gaps were utilized to the fullest extent, and every defense was precise to three decimal places.
"What... what kind of battle is this...?"
The high-level players around them, who were initially unconvinced, were now completely dumbfounded.
This isn't playing a game; it's playing a piano piece called "Destruction"!
In just thirty seconds.
Accompanied by a crisp notification sound.
"—KO!!!"
Mordred's character was broken through the defense by an extremely tricky low kick from Luo Chen's character, followed by a flawless combo, instantly reducing her health bar to zero.
"Damn it!! Again!"
Mordred gritted his teeth, unwilling to give up, and inserted another coin.
Although she lost, the light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter.
This feeling of being completely seen through and utterly suppressed gave her an indescribable mix of excitement and trepidation.
"It's the same no matter how many times you do it, Xiao Mo."
Luo Chen chuckled softly, his fingers once again transforming into phantoms.
Over the next half hour, a father-daughter match that could be described as disastrous unfolded in the fighting area on the third floor.
Mordred used every trick in the book, even sweating profusely, but no matter how she changed her moves, Luo Chen always managed to neutralize her attacks with an extremely casual yet absolutely insurmountable style, delivering a fatal blow.
"Fiftyth game. You lost again."
Luo Chen released the joystick and looked at the girl opposite him who was already panting but still staring intently at the screen.
"Huff... huff..."
Mordred removed his hands from the console and slumped back in his chair, completely exhausted.
Although she had lost fifty games, she suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha... As expected, Dad is Dad."
She stood up and looked at Luo Chen through the machine. There was no trace of defeat in her emerald green eyes, only endless admiration and fervor.
"No matter what kind of battlefield it is, you are always the strongest and most unreasonable one."
"But just you wait! One day, I'll make you taste defeat too!"
"I'm looking forward to it."
Luo Chen stood up, walked to her side, and reached out to rub her head of golden hair, which was soaked with sweat.
"Let's go. It's time for lunch."
"Melushin has probably emptied all the claw machines on the first floor."
The two walked downstairs side by side.
A group of onlookers remained, still worshipping the nearly broken arcade machine.
……
At noon, at a high-end family restaurant in Juwang Town.
"Hmm... this thing called 'parfait' doesn't taste as good as the desserts that Ellie makes, but the cool texture is quite nice."
Melusin sat on a wide sofa chair, surrounded by four or five huge, half-human-sized plush toys. She held a long spoon in her hand and was scooping out a super-sized strawberry parfait.
Today she truly experienced the joy of "stocking up".
"Dad, where are we going this afternoon?"
Mordred downed a glass of iced cola in one gulp and asked, still wanting more.
Luo Chen cut a piece of steak and looked through the restaurant's glass window at the mountains on the other side of the city, which faintly emanated demonic magical energy.
"The afternoon's itinerary..."
Luo Chen swallowed his food, a hint of mockery flashing in his crimson-gold vertical pupils.
"I heard that the Demon King named Sazex held some kind of 'Rating Game' friendly match in his territory today."
"Since they came to visit so sincerely yesterday, as 'good neighbors,' wouldn't it be too inconsiderate of us not to go and cause a scene... oh no, I mean, not to go and observe?"
Upon hearing this, Mordred's eyes lit up again.
"Disrupt the fight?! That's awesome! I've been wanting to see how those guys with bat wings fight for ages!"
"Then eat faster."
Luo Chen picked up his wine glass, a dangerous smile playing on his lips.
"After this meal, we'll go give the nobles of the underworld a public lesson called 'Dimensional Reduction Attack'."
