To become a king and a magician

"But it's hard to say about the others—go ahead."

““AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa————————!!”””

All the demons let out a heart-wrenching scream, then transformed into a massive, overwhelming black wave that instantly enveloped the entire space where Natsukawa Tora and the others were, as if the sky had collapsed! The pitch-black tsunami also instantly destroyed the entire Fuyuki Bridge!

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

A deafening roar resounded through the space, and Wei Yuanchuan's surroundings were rapidly engulfed by countless black demonic spirits at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Landing atop a rooftop, Artoria quickly looked in the direction they had come from: "Master! Damn it, we've been separated like this..."

"It's not very realistic to rush over there. At least in the current situation, they won't let us pass."

Morgan, who had landed next to Artoria, said this, and as she did, one demon after another surrounded the two of them, turning them into a pair of trapped turtles in a jar in the blink of an eye.

Gripping Excalibur tightly, Artoria looked solemnly at the countless demons around her.

"Be careful, Lia. Although they are just avatars of the seventy-two demon gods, if there are several of them together, even you, Lia, will be held back in close combat. Be careful not to get entangled in a prolonged fight, and break through with all your might."

As Morgan spoke, he tapped the ground with his staff, and Artoria immediately felt a warm current surge through her body.

"I've applied some enhancement magic to you. Good luck!" [King Arthur]

"Thank you, Sister Wang. I will return to Master's side as soon as possible."

......

With a single spear thrust, she pierced the bodies of several demons. On the other side, Scáthach gazed at the faintly visible ruins of the Fuyuki Bridge.

"Did you deliberately scatter us? You want to fight the spirit master one-on-one, Magic King?"

Scáthach was somewhat dissatisfied. Since the Holy Grail War began, she hadn't had a proper fight yet. She had originally thought that King Solomon's words would allow her to fight with all her might, but she hadn't expected that he would even try to exclude her. If she were facing a Demon God, that would be one thing, but to use these terminal devices against her...

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle—!"

Dozens of bright red demonic spears suddenly descended from the sky, and a large portion of the numerous demonic spirits surrounding Scáthach were visibly pierced and destroyed!

angry.

I haven't felt this way in a long time.

"Fine, I'll use you all to kill time. I'll vent all this anger on the spirit users later."

——————————————————————————————————

In the heart of the Miwa River, on the ruins of the Fuyuki Bridge.

Helping Sajou Rei up from the river, Natsukawa Torara looked around: "We've been separated... The demons didn't even intend to attack me."

"It was probably just to separate Master from the others. Even for King Solomon, the scale of his Servants' Spirit Origins wasn't enough for him to face multiple top-tier Servants at the same time. Thank you for protecting me, Master."

During the demonic attack, the only person Natsukawa Torama was able to protect immediately was Sajou Rei, who was closest to him.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. My master has protected me very well. Besides, I'm not a living being. I can repair any damage with magic. Compared to this—the one above."

"Ok, I know."

Xia Chuanhu looked up at the sky.

Slowly descending to the river's surface, standing on the flowing water, King Solomon looked at Xia Chuanhu and Sha Tiaolingyi: "Did you leave one survivor? In that situation, you managed to protect one person."

“Unfortunately, my arms are still too short to protect them all,” Xia Chuanhu laughed. “But even so, it’s only a matter of time before they come back. I don’t think it will take more than ten minutes.”

“I think so too, but it’s hard to say whether your fight with me can last more than ten minutes—you might be defeated by me before that.”

"You really dare to say that."

With a smile, Natsukawa Tora removed the Demon Eye Killer, and at the same time, light particles gathered at his side, instantly revealing the Star Holy Sword.

At the same time, some light particles also began to scatter from Sajou Rei's body, and an armor like that in a science fiction movie gradually covered her thin body. A huge gun barrel extended from her right arm, and several discs floated around her.

—Sand Strip Zero Clothes·Armed Mode.

"It's not too late to decide who will be defeated after the actual battle, is it?"

"They're coming, Solomon!"

80. Atomic Lightning Speed ​​Sword!

"Boom boom boom boom!"

A beam of indigo magic cannon suddenly swept across the street!

After blasting away a large number of demonic spirits in front of her in one breath, Aozaki Aoko gasped for breath: "What are these things? Why do they give me a feeling similar to that tiger in its current state?"

"It should be similar in nature to an elf, and it should have been created by Caster."

Having once witnessed the so-called Seventy-Two Pillar Demon Gods, Aozaki Touko could sense that the countless demon spirits surrounding them were somewhat similar to demon gods, and also somewhat similar to elves; they were practically a combination of the two.

Therefore, the only reason that can be thought of is King Solomon. As the most powerful summoner in history, it is normal for him to be able to summon these special spirits, and he may even have summoned them through magic similar to summoning magic.

(This is a bit troublesome. The Celestial Sovereign isn't here either. It really is as the boy said, a trap set for us... No, that's not quite right. If it were a trap, it should have been set up indoors, not just activated after we've missed it.)

"Sizzle—!"

As a bolt of crimson lightning swept away all the demons on the other side, Mordred stomped her foot in frustration: "Damn it, no matter how many times we knock them back, they just keep coming back. They're also incredibly tough; ordinary attacks can't kill them at all—hey, catgirl, let's use our Noble Phantasm to clear the field!"

“Okay—cover for me, Mordred, Aoko, and Orange.”

As Atalanta finished speaking, several magic circles appeared in Aozaki Aoko's hands, and another magic cannon shot out, smashing away all the demons that surged forward once again.

"—With my bow and arrows, I beseech Apollo and Artemis for protection, and offer this calamity—"

"—I am not the king, but one who follows in his footsteps. For the king's peace, I must drive out all enemies—"

Intense magical power surged from both of them simultaneously.

"—【PhoibosCatastrophe】!"

"—【Rebellion against my magnificent father (Clarent BloodArthur)】!"

A dazzling meteor shower of light fell from the sky. At the same time, a torrent of crimson lightning also erupted.

Although the combined abilities of multiple demons are enough to rival those of a Servant, and even a Servant like Artoria would be dragged into a protracted battle, that is ultimately based on close combat. If they were to be bombarded directly with Noble Phantasms, these demons that have occupied the entire street would be nothing more than a bunch of sitting ducks.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

"Boom!"

Arrows of light and torrents of crimson lightning intertwined and tangled, instantly dragging the scene before them into a dazzling destruction. Within that light of annihilation, the number of demonic spirits visibly decreased rapidly! Just as dust accumulated on a window was wiped away with a towel, a slightly messy but incredibly clear road quickly appeared before them!

"That's really exaggerated, your two Noble Phantasms."

Aozaki Touko looked ahead with some embarrassment. Not to mention the street, even the buildings on both sides had been partially destroyed by the bombardment of the two's Noble Phantasms, and the usable area of ​​the entire street had expanded by two sizes.

Because this was within Meryl's illusionary realm, in the real world, the cleanup would have absolutely caused the blood pressure of those magicians and church members to skyrocket, and it wouldn't be impossible for them to end up in the hospital.

Mordred slung the magic sword over his shoulder and removed his helmet, letting out a sigh of relief: "This looks much better, doesn't it? Those dense hordes of them were so annoying—so what do we do now? If that guy isn't here, where am I supposed to find him?"

"They're probably over there."

Atalanta, who had somehow moved to the rooftop, gazed in the direction of the Fuyuki Bridge.

"For him, the safest place would only be near Caster."

“I should have followed the boy from the beginning… Sigh, what a mistake.” Aozaki Touko sighed helplessly. “Then let’s head towards Fuyuki Bridge—please protect me, everyone.”

"Orange, you should at least lift a finger."

Hearing her sister say that, Aozaki Touko waved her hands frankly: "I don't have the power you guys have. I'm just an ordinary magician. Without any Mystic Codes, I'm completely useless in this situation, aren't I?"

"Then let's put the oranges and greens in the middle, with Mordred and me one in front of each other."

As Atalanta spoke, she drew her bow and shot dead several demons that had peeked out from not far away.

"Let's meet up with Xia Chuan first."

————————————————————————————

Ryougi Shiki is very agitated right now, extremely agitated.

The reasons are similar to those for Scáthach.

"No matter how many you kill, you can't get them all out of control, and the worst part is that killing them feels so tedious... What on earth are these things anyway?"

Unlike Mordred and the others, Ryougi Shiki doesn't have any wide-range attacks. All she can do is slash at them one by one. Thanks to her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, even when surrounded, Ryougi Shiki doesn't find it too troublesome.

The problem is that these demons feel like they're hitting thin air when you're attacking them, which makes Ryougi Shiki quite dissatisfied. At first, she thought she could have a good time killing them without worrying about the consequences, and such opportunities to kill indiscriminately without any worries are rare.

But what's so great about killing air?

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle—!"

The short sword flashed through the air with incredible speed, leaving countless streaks of light that precisely struck the death lines on the demon spirits. Like mowing grass, for every step Ryougi Shiki took forward, a group of demon spirits around her vanished simultaneously.

It was simply unparalleled; among all those who were separated, Ryougi Shiki was probably the most relaxed one.

but--

"AAAAAAAaaaaaaaa————————!"

Seemingly sensing the strange occurrences around Ryougi Shiki, the numerous demonic spirits swirling around her suddenly began to collide with each other, as if they were stacking building blocks or fusing together.

"Bang------!"

As a giant foot shattered the ground, a colossal demon spirit, six or seven people tall, appeared before Ryougi Shiki, its joints constantly emitting lightning that seemed to act as a link.

"GGGGGGGGaaaaaaaaa————————!"

The roar and howl, like that of a maddened beast, made Ryougi Shiki frown.

very noisy.

"Moreover, there are an ton of lines."

The hasty fusion left too many weaknesses, so Ryougi Shiki didn't even need to look for them; she could probably cut three or four dead lines with a casual slash.

I have absolutely no motivation to kill.

But no matter what, she still has to kill him. Anyone who gets in her way to kill that Magic King will either have to step aside or get slashed twice by her.

But just as Ryougi Shiki was about to make her move—

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss!"
