Given such unwavering will, it makes no difference whether the person standing before them is a broken girl, a strong warrior, or a frail infant.
Without further ado, he would treat everyone equally and cut off their heads with his own sword; this was the highest honor and praise for a warrior.
Liliana held the knight's sword, named Silver Master, in her hand, remaining silent.
No, it should be said that she was already in a state of confusion at this point, and what was probably supporting her was some kind of belief.
As a knight, one can only lie down when one is dead or asleep.
Under the influence of some inexplicable force, the girl raised the sword in her hand with seemingly slow movements.
Swing it out!
Rune runes gleamed on the sword.
Behind me, I could hear that terrifying, maniacal laughter.
Ah, no, I don't seem to be afraid of that sound anymore?
"Hahahaha! I see, I see! The hunters who were about to participate in the hunt have already arrived!"
"Although we haven't arrived here in person yet, since the hunter's hounds and henchmen are already here, it can't be considered an absence!"
What do you mean?
Liliana was in such a state of mind that she had no time to care about the meaning behind those words.
All she can do now is...
Swing your sword!
A thunderous roar erupted.
The blue arc light was dazzling.
On the Silver Master's knight's sword, runes shone with a dazzling light, but even more intense was the blazing lightning.
Siegfried, who refused to comply, had not yet subdued the divine flame that even the paladins could only flee in terror.
However, the dazzling lightning had already completely torn apart the nearby flames!
The Steel Hero God, who had just appeared in the world, showed a look of astonishment on his face.
It is normal for the fragile, nearly lifeless girl before them to be able to break free of her own flame and show a look of surprise—but in reality, it is not so.
To his surprise...
"I see."
For the first time, the Steel Hero God, who had maintained a solemn expression, smiled.
The sunlight was gentle, yet carried an indescribable cruelty.
"you......"
His gaze fell upon the runes adorning the blade of the knight's sword.
"I want to achieve 'victory'."
Above the Silver Master, runes signifying "victory" shimmered.
"Then come forth, hero who dares to challenge me—Shen!"
"At this moment, you are the hero, and I am the evil dragon!"
Chapter Twenty-One: Don't move, I'm going to kill you!
"I see. I thought the guests we invited to the hunt were late..."
Marquis Voban, who had been unable to contain himself because of the tempting prey that had appeared before him, had a fierce glint in his eyes and slowly retreated.
Then, he settled comfortably into his previous seat.
"I didn't expect the hunter to have already sent out his hounds. Well then, let me enjoy their performance."
The demon king, who had just been exuding a fierce aura, now sat calmly on the main seat.
His fierce aura had been completely suppressed.
His suit was impeccably tailored, his silver-white hair was perfectly styled, and his demeanor exuded a classic elegance.
At first glance, he looks like a polite elderly gentleman who has stepped out of the Middle Ages.
It was as if they were spectators sitting in the stands of the Roman Colosseum, looking down at the life-and-death struggle below.
"However, it's astonishing that Kranichal's granddaughter possesses such talent..."
"I never noticed this before. Indeed, the only thing I can't be too confident about is my gaze..."
For a demon king like Marquis Voban, what is more important is never his superb swordsmanship or his amazing magical talent.
Because these things that ordinary people envy are always as fragile as paper in front of him, 990.
It shatters upon contact.
Therefore, he would praise things that are more solid and reliable.
That is......
No matter what, they refused to give up and persisted in fighting to the very end.
Because as the Demon King, he no longer needs such things, which is why he is more interested in them.
The girl standing in the middle of the field was swaying precariously.
Her once silvery-white hair was now stained with blood.
His cheeks were covered with dense cracks, like those on broken porcelain.
Fresh blood dripped spurts from his fingertips.
But the sword he held in his hand...
It has always remained as stable as Mount Tai.
Marquis Voban could naturally see that the reason the girl was still able to stand was largely due to the sword in her hand.
Or rather, it's the power embodied in that sword.
What he saw was actually the battle between that sword and the steel that refused to yield.
To him, the girl named Liliana was less the wielder of the sword and more merely an accessory to it from beginning to end. (bjbc)
He used his own awareness and will as fuel to drive the power entrusted to that sword.
but......
Even if it's just as an accessory, without the corresponding awareness and sufficient willpower, it's impossible.
Hoping to elicit a response from the power contained within that sword is probably wishful thinking.
and......
Otherwise, it would be impossible to gain the approval of the Steel of Disobedience in this present world.
The silver knight's sword, gleaming with runes, clashed with the demonic sword Gram, producing a crisp, metallic clang.
Lightning roared and shot out in all directions.
The girl wielding the knight's sword seemed to transform into dazzling lightning, weaving through a sea of fire that resembled a hellish inferno.
To this, Bu Congzhigang revealed a joyful, even ecstatic, expression.
"Hahahaha! Hahahaha—"
The man with short, silver-gray hair and resolute, determined eyes slowly transformed into vertical pupils.
On its cheeks, starting from some unknown time, undulating bluish-gray scales gradually appeared.
Compared to his previous unrestrained heroic demeanor, he now looks and exudes more like a terrifying beast.
Or rather—
Dragon.
"Come, brave warrior, challenge me!"
"With the sword in your hand, pierce my heart and sever my neck!"
"Beyond victory lies the treasure hidden by the evil dragon!"
"O hero who seeks to slay the dragon! My head shall be the crown of glory!"
The hero who once slew the dragon stomped heavily under his feet, causing the earth to tremble and groan incessantly.
The nearby ground rapidly cracked, as if an earth dragon were turning over, revealing countless abysses in the fissured land.
"Come on, hurry up and come here."
Siegfried, with a delighted smile on his face, slowly stepped forward, refusing to comply.
"I am a hero, and also an evil dragon."
Legend has it that Siegfried, the hero who slayed the dragon, bathed in the dragon's blood after killing Fafnir.
Therefore, they acquired a strong body that was impervious to swords and spears.
But in reality...
"I am Siegfried, I am Fafnir!"
Heroes and dragons are inherently one and the same.
In stories and legends, it is quite common for heroes to eventually transform into dragons.
In the legend of Volsunga, the sword Gram, which grows from the tree, is a sword that grows directly from the earth.
Then, it was forged by the young hero Siegfried with a flaming hammer and transformed into a brand new sword.
This legend itself implies reforging the Earth's Tooth into stronger steel.
It symbolizes the dragon, a child of the earth, being reborn as a steel hero.
In most cases, Siegfried appears in the world as a hero of steel, walking among the earth.
However, there is one exception.
That is, when facing a challenger who is a "hero".
