To become a king and a magician

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada drew his katana: "It seems there's no point in saying more. When opinions can't be agreed upon and neither side can convince the other, the only option is to destroy the other's ideas. Do you really think you can defeat me like this, Ruler?"

“I can’t do it right now, because my abilities aren’t good enough to rely on,” Jeanne frankly admitted her weakness. “However, I am not alone—Ador! First stage, restrictions lifted!”

The moment the command was given, Ad, who was hanging in the birdcage at his waist, had his eyes flash. His body, which was originally no bigger than a fist, rapidly multiplied and eventually formed a scythe taller than Jeanne d'Arc!

[Hehehehe! It's starting! It's finally my turn to shine again! Still sharp, aren't you, you silly Grey!]

(Please fight freely. Leave the defense to me; I won't let you get hurt, Miss Gray.)

"Ah."

Gray, whose eyes had turned golden, gripped the scythe, her face as calm as that of a young god.

This is the first step I've taken so that I can walk alongside my brother.

--------------------------------

Just as they were fighting over there because of their differing ideologies.

The central hall of the sky garden.

—On the way there.

Natsukawa Torara, who originally planned to kill Semiramis and cripple the Sky Garden, was now being stopped by an unexpected person.

Karna, the Red Lancer.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Red Saber's Master, Natsukawa Torato."

The hero who bestowed the gift stood in the path that Xia Chuanhu was bound to take, holding a golden divine spear.

After a pause, Natsukawa Tora asked, "Shouldn't you be outside confronting the Black team?"

“That’s Archer and Rider’s job. My mission from the beginning has only been to remove you from this Holy Grail War.”

"Oh?" Natsukawa Tora raised an eyebrow. "Is this... internal strife? Before the Black Faction has even been completely eliminated, they're already planning to eliminate future enemies?"

"It's just my Master's order. Although there are various reasons behind it, I don't intend to disobey my Master's orders. The Assyrian Empress and the priest seem to be quite wary of you, and the power you just displayed has indeed made me understand their thoughts."

The dragon-like species are indeed a formidable opponent.

Natsukawa Torato, who had originally planned to use the pretense of knowing nothing to give Semiramis a jolt, immediately realized upon hearing Karna's words that he had been treated as an enemy from the very beginning.

This one-on-one situation with Karna was probably intentionally created.

"Hey, can't we trust our allies a little more? I'm almost flattered that they've sent one of the greatest heroes in Hindu mythology to deal with me."

"But it's alright."

After a long absence, Natsukawa Torato removed his Mystic Eyes and looked at Karna.

"Your golden armor can reduce all damage to one-tenth. I'd like to know if you can even reduce the effect on the eyes."

Soul-Eating Demon Eye, open your eyes!

78. A single disagreement could set the moon off.

This is the fourth time that Natsukawa Tora has opened his eyes.

The first time was five years ago, during his duel with Kiritsugu Emiya.

The second time was five years ago, in the final battle against Ayaka Sajou.

The third time was nearly four years ago, in the underground tomb in Grey's hometown.

This time, it was the fourth time the eyes were opened, and the enemy was Karna, the hero who had given them a handout. Karna was a perfect match for these magical eyes.

The maximum activity limit remains five minutes, this has not changed. If the Mystic Eyes' function is used on another person for a long time, the power used to seal Ayaka Sajou will inevitably be weakened. Five minutes is the longest time that Natsukawa Torato has tested that can maintain the sealing strength.

Try to defeat Karna in just five minutes.

Even Arjuna, or Gilgamesh, probably wouldn't dare say such a thing.

After all, Karna is very strong, extremely strong. Not only in martial arts, but he also possesses multiple powerful Noble Phantasms, each so powerful that they can be considered a bug.

His strength is genuine.

Therefore, it is necessary to open one's eyes. Natsukawa Torama is not so arrogant as to think he can defeat him with just summoning magic. To deal with him, one must truly go all out.

"Has it taken effect? ​​Your golden armor."

The moment the Demon Eye was unleashed, Natsukawa Torama understood one thing.

The golden armor is also effective against his own demonic eyes.

Karna's soul was indeed being eroded, but the process was quite slow, barely perceptible to the naked eye. To completely erode it... it would probably take at least ten minutes.

Thinking about it carefully, that makes sense.

While the effects of the Soul-Eating Demon Eye are astonishing, it is ultimately still a form of magic, specifically magic activated using the eyeball. The Golden Armor, however, can reduce interference from magic to one-tenth.

"I never knew you had eyes like that."

Karna's expression turned serious.

"The Magic Eye, which directly targets the soul, would have completely eroded my soul in just one minute if it weren't for this armor."

Although I can hold out for a long time, maintaining peak combat power under these circumstances... at most a few minutes?

Karna was now certain that Natsukawa Torato was a formidable foe that he needed to defeat with all his might. The power Natsukawa Torato displayed during his battle with Atalanta, and the Mystic Eyes that had now been unleashed—undoubtedly, a formidable enemy!

"boom--!"

With a burst of magical energy, flames as intense as the sun ignited on Karna's body! Like a phoenix spreading its wings, Karna suddenly thrust his spear at Natsukawa Torato!

A terrifying heatwave swept over us in an instant! The scorching spear aimed straight for our faces!

quickly!

Without being possessed, Natsukawa Tora, whose elven traits had not been activated, was almost unable to react. But just as the divine spear was about to touch him, his body still issued a warning!

"Boom—!"

A magical power far exceeding that of Karna erupted from Natsukawa Torama's frail body! The crimson moon mark on the back of his hand also shone with an incomparably dazzling crimson moonlight!

Summoning magic!

Tsukihime Armed!

"Clang—!"

The deafening sound of metal scraping against metal echoed throughout the passageway.

"Bang------!"

The shockwave that erupted immediately destroyed the entire space around the two of them!

The ceiling collapsed, the walls crumbled, and the floor shattered—the once intact and magnificent corridor was completely destroyed by a single collision and attack between the two individuals!

The hands, transformed into sharp claws, firmly held off the divine spear.

The golden spear pressed relentlessly against the arms in front of him.

(He caught my gun with just his bare hands...)

(This gun is quite heavy. Is it A-level physical destructive power?)

For a fleeting moment, their eyes met.

Then—

"Boom—!"

The instant they separated, the divine spear swung, and the slash from afar struck Xia Chuanhu, the violent impact sending him flying like a meteor! He crashed into all the buildings along a straight line nearly a kilometer long behind him! It looked as if he had cleaved a huge crack in the Sky Garden!

He slammed his feet into the ground to stop himself, and in the instant he regained his balance, Xia Chuanhu suddenly swung his claws down at Karna!

"Sizzle—!"

The fierce wind unleashed by the ten fingers tore the ground apart! The invisible slash flew nearly a thousand meters in an instant and arrived in front of Karna—without any hesitation, Karna immediately raised his divine spear to block!

"Bang------!"

The unbelievable impact sent him flying as well!

It wasn't direct contact, and it still had such power after flying over a kilometer?!

It's hard to imagine what kind of damage you would suffer if you were hit directly by those hands. Even wearing this golden armor wouldn't be much better, right?

"Boom!"

The tremor from the earth interrupted Karna's thoughts for a moment. In the short time it took to breathe or even blink, Natsukawa Torato was already standing in front of him!

One foot stepped down—

"Snap!"

The ground collapsed on the spot! If there is any underground space, it would definitely have caused a landslide!

The rooftop garden even trembled slightly as a result!

(Missed, two o'clock position)

Ignoring the shattered foundation beneath his feet, Xia Chuanhu suddenly turned his head to look at the blazing flame in the distance, and made a clenching motion with his right hand in the air!

"Bang----!"

The space suddenly shattered!

Then began an endless series of explosions!

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

As if a minefield had been completely triggered, the continuous explosions echoed through the night sky! Firelight, fierce winds, and incredibly violent impacts mingled together, ravaging the courtyard!

(Space... no, did they transform the air into something explosive?)

Karna, who was gliding through the air with the help of flames released by magic, quickly saw the true nature of the situation.

(Since that's the case—)

Flames gathered above Xia Chuanhu's head, instantly forming dozens of divine spears!

At the same time, "【Brahma, curse my body (BrahmastraKundala)】"

Karna infused his magic into the divine spear and hurled it at Natsukawa Torato with all his might!
