To become a king and a magician

"Boom—!"

Like an avalanche, the annihilation flames and divine spears crashed down! The towering flames instantly dragged the area within hundreds of meters of Xia Chuanhu into a sea of ​​inferno! It actually created a lava zone directly in the Sky Garden! A small mushroom cloud also rose in the sky at the same time!

However, this lava field only appeared for a moment.

As Natsukawa Torato appeared in Karna's sight, the ground beneath his feet, which had been radiating heat, visibly froze! The ground, which had resembled the gates of hell just seconds before, was now equivalent to a permanently frozen polar glacier!

"Here you go!"

As if in retaliation for being hit, Natsukawa Torama raised his hand and pointed to the sky—

"Rumble rumble rumble~~~~~"

A heavy sense of oppression descended instantly! A terrifying pressure, accompanied by a deep rumble, resounded throughout the sky! The pressure emanating from above even caused the atmosphere to tremble!

Karna looked up at the sky.

A crimson moon shone brightly above his head!

The moon sets!

79. The sun and moon under the same sky

The moon sets.

Karna had heard of and seen this move several times.

Achilles and Atalanta both stated that it was a blow beyond human capability, and Amakusa Shiro and Semiramis also indicated that this was Natsukawa Torato's most pressing trump card.

"It was indeed an unparalleled strike, causing the moon to fall. Such a feat has long surpassed human capabilities. Even we heroic spirits can only look up to this great power. But in terms of this strike, it is undoubtedly in the realm of the gods."

Karna spared no praise for Natsukawa Tora.

To possess such power as a mere human being is not something that can be achieved through simple hard work; it also requires extraordinary luck.

"Then, I shall also give my all to meet this supreme blow! Only in this way can I show true respect!"

The flames formed by magic blazed fiercely.

The golden armor covering Karna seemed to melt away, transforming into flames that converged onto his spear!

Under the pitch-black night sky, facing the fallen, destructive moon, the brilliant sunlight rose like a ray of hope!

"Realize the mercy of the King of Gods!"

(Here it comes!)

Completely unafraid of potentially burning his eyes, Natsukawa Tora stared intently at Karna.

"Indra, watch closely."

Karna's strongest Noble Phantasm, a divine spear destined to destroy, given to him by the remorseful Indra as a gift for offering his golden armor.

"Annihilation will be achieved with this one thrust!"

Its power is nearly limitless; the lightning will not stop until it has completely annihilated the sole target it has set out to attack. All concepts, except for the world itself, will be dissolved in the endless lightning.

"Burn completely—[Sun Wheel, submit to death (VasaviShakti)]!!"

Karna raised his gun, a gun formed from pure lightning that exuded a terrifying aura of destruction.

The divine spear, capable of killing even gods, is now fully unleashed!

The enemy is the moon; shatter it with the spear of the sun wheel—perfect!

Looking up at the crimson moon, Karna thrust out his spear with fierce determination!

The distance between the divine spear and the crimson moon was not great, and moreover, at this moment, distance was meaningless to both sides. In a fleeting instant, the sun and moon met in the sky.

"------"

A deathly silence filled the space.

The moment they touched each other, there was no terrifying movement, but there was no sound either, as if nothing had happened—but both Natsukawa Torato and Karna knew that this silence was only a fleeting moment within a fleeting instant.

The next moment, the next instant, the next instant—

"BOOM————————————————!!"

A scene so grand it seemed as if the heavens and earth were being destroyed engulfed most of the sky garden!

——————————————————————————————————

"boom!"

A terrifying tremor suddenly erupted, and dozens of pieces of rubble fell from the ceiling.

Swinging her scythe, Gray shattered the rubble, then looked in surprise at the crumbling ceiling and floor: "What's causing this tremor?"

Grey!

"Clang!"

Yard's reminder brought Gray back to her senses in time, allowing her to block Amakusa Shiro's sudden attack!

Using his adult physique and strength to continuously suppress Gray, Amakusa Shiro laughed and said, "It seems that it has already begun."

"Start? Ugh... what's starting?"

"Lancer's attack on Lord Natsukawa—although in the plan, as long as Lord Natsukawa didn't meddle in other people's business, we didn't need to eliminate him, but since Lancer has already taken action, it means that we are ultimately at odds."

elder brother!?

Gray's eyes immediately filled with anxiety, a change that Amakusa Shiro noticed: "Even Lord Natsukawa has no chance against Lancer. And you will be just like your brother—anyone who stands in the way of my ideals is my enemy!"

The force she felt in her arms intensified again! Gray immediately changed her blocking angle, using the impact to quickly retreat a considerable distance—

"【Set——】"

Amakusa Shiro threw several black keys directly from his sleeve, which flew towards Gray like pinpoint missiles!

"Yad!"

【okay! 】

The scythe slashed through the air, and the magic power forming the Black Key sword, along with the surrounding magic power, was instantly absorbed by Ad. After erasing the Black Key, Gray, now possessing even more magic power, immediately used it to enhance her body, returning to Amakusa Shirou's side at an even faster speed!

The scythe and the katana collided instantly! Sparks flew everywhere!

"it's useless."

Amakusa Shiro effortlessly fended off Gray's attacks.

"Your technique is indeed excellent, but your strength is too weak. Even with magical enhancement, you are only barely on par with me in your normal state, far inferior to me when I used the same enhancement."

Grey knew this, of course. How much strength could a ten-year-old girl have? Her chances of winning were low from the start; the only way to win was to use that.

However, there was no opportunity.

(I need to find an opportunity for myself to use it!)

"Clang—!"

With a backhand strike, he slammed a heavy blow into Grey's chest, sending her flying. Glancing at the spot where she was unharmed thanks to Jeanne's protection, Amakusa Shirou couldn't help but frown: "How about surrendering? I have no reason to kill you, nor do I harbor any hatred or hostility towards you. As long as you don't hinder me from achieving my goal, that's fine."

"You had no reason to fight me, did you? If it was Lord Natsukawa's order, you didn't obey it now that he's dead—"

"Brother will never lose!" Gray shouted suddenly, her eyes revealing anger and fury for the first time. "Brother will never lose! No matter who the enemy is, no matter what the situation is, brother will never lose! He is stronger than anyone else!"

"My brother... is the most amazing!"

Boom!

The ceiling shattered with a crash!

The entire room collapsed instantly!

Two figures descended from the sky like gods! In an instant, they tore apart and shattered the battlefield where the two had been!

Unbelievable, overjoyed.

Two completely different looks appeared in the eyes of Amakusa Shiro and Gray at the same time!

"Lancer?!"

"elder brother!"

The sound reached their ears, but they were too preoccupied to pay attention to the outside world. The reason for this was that they were completely absorbed in the battle.

80. A respectable opponent

Unbelievable.

This is a shared thought between Natsukawa Torato and Karna.

About half a minute ago, the collision between the God-Slaying Spear and the Moonfall ended. After nearly a third of the Sky Garden was destroyed, the collision ended in mutual destruction.

Karna and Natsukawa Tora thought the same thing: having lost his invincible golden armor, all that was left was a god-slaying spear and his martial arts skills. The effects of the Demon Eye would work on him 100%—just as he had planned.

All I need to do now is stall for time until he's completely eroded to the point where he can't fight anymore. Then, victory will be mine.

but......

(You're too strong, Karna!)

Despite having already been half-corrupted by himself, and with his Spirit Origin on the verge of collapse at any moment, Karna's power showed no signs of weakening and was even gradually increasing!

He is surpassing his current self!

(This is... Karna, the hero who gave alms...)

Every time his spear clashed with Karna's, every time his eyes met Karna's, Natsukawa Torato would involuntarily feel his body heat up and his spirits soar, as if the battle with Karna had made him genuinely happy.

Natsukawa Torato knows why.

(Are you also excited about being able to fight him, Arthur?)

Arthur was also a warrior and a knight. It was impossible for him not to be excited and eager to fight against such a noble and powerful hero as Karna.

Karna felt the same way.

Leaving aside the setting moon, Natsukawa Tora gave Karna a truly peculiar feeling. His fighting style was incredibly rough and savage, his attacks like those of a wild beast born purely to kill someone. But beneath this roughness, one could strongly sense a righteous and unyielding will!

He should be called a knight.
