To become a king and a magician

"Thump—!"

Natsukawa Tora was met with a lightning-fast surprise attack from Arthur.

My vision was instantly dominated by the brilliance of the holy sword.

With the massive magical power amplification, Arthur's speed was almost equivalent to teleportation. He swung his sword as soon as he moved. It was less a slash of light and more a barrage of light crashing down!

"Boom—!"

A deafening roar resounded throughout the throne room, and the gate, along with the walls on both sides and the ground where Natsukawa Tiger stood, were directly swallowed up and shattered by the radiance in this attack!

If it weren't for the barrier, this attack would probably have affected the entire area right up to the main gate of the White Dragon Kingdom.

Perhaps to deal with Vortigern, the Holy Sword's seal is constantly being unsealed. Although the other Knights of the Round Table have returned to their seats, the Holy Sword still maintains the state of having four seals released.

The Holy Sword, which already possesses the power of an A+ rank anti-city Noble Phantasm in its normal state, is now displaying such power, which is not an exaggeration.

"—That's it?"

However, Natsukawa Tora's voice came softly from above Arthur's head.

As mentioned before, no matter what kind of attack it is, Natsukawa Torato has already thought of a countermeasure the moment the attack is launched. Being able to keep track of the changes in the surrounding space at all times means that he has a near-instantaneous vision of the future in the battle.

Wake up!

With a sudden stomp in mid-air, as if a pair of wings had unfurled behind him, immense magical power erupted from behind Natsukawa Tiger, causing him to plummet like a meteor! The radiant holy sword struck straight at Arthur's head!

Excluding those who are pretending to be asleep, for those whose minds are foggy, giving them a big shovel is the most effective way to wake them up.

"Thump—!"

The two holy swords collided with a deafening roar, unleashing a violent surge of magical energy in an instant. A golden storm followed closely behind, sweeping outwards and engulfing the entire throne room!

28. They really beat them to death.

Just as Natsukawa Tora and Arthur began their duel.

Chaldea, Control Room.

"Beep~~~Beep~~~Beep~~~~"

The control room, which should normally be quiet except for the sound of keyboards clicking, is now filled with a continuous series of alarms.

Rushing in from outside the control room, Fujimaru Ritsuka, barely out of breath, asked Roman, "Doctor! What's wrong?"

"The anomaly is coming from the Sixth Singularity."

Without turning his head back, Roman was operating the controls at lightning speed.

"The Sixth Singularity, which had been impossible to observe until now, can finally be observed. It's as if the barrier that had been preventing us from observing it has been removed. And after that, we observed two massive magical reactions from the Sixth Singularity!"

“One of them is Xia Chuan, which is already on record.”

Natsukawa Tora's magical reaction.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu learned this morning that their minister had gone to the Sixth Singularity to carry out the conquest while they were at home resting. At the same time, the two also learned of Natsukawa Torato's words and had been preparing for the conquest of the Seventh Singularity in their room.

Since the minister is in the Sixth Singularity, there shouldn't be any problems—not only Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, but most of the other members of Chaldea thought so too.

But now...

"The minister's magical power—hasn't this reached that god-like level once again?"

Five and a half months have passed, and Fujimaru Ritsuka can barely understand what's happening on the screen anymore.

Roman nodded and said, "That's right, Xia Chuan has indeed reached that level again, but within the singularity, he is not the only one with god-level magical reactions."

"There are two others... no, one of them has a constantly increasing magic power index."

As Roman stated, the analysis of the sixth singularity observed in Sheba shows two red dots of roughly the same size, and beyond these two red dots, a larger red dot can be faintly seen enclosing the two dots.

Within the Sixth Singularity, there exists an enemy even more powerful than the Minister's all-out effort?

Fujimaru Ritsuka probably realized this fact.

"This is absolutely a massive crisis."

At the entrance to the control room, Leonardo da Vinci strode in with swift steps: "We already found the first five singularities incredibly difficult, but the sixth singularity has suddenly raised the difficulty to the level of another dimension."

"This level of magic power would be difficult for even Xia Chuan to handle... no, it would be very difficult. Although I don't think he's the only one there, the level of magic power hidden there can't be dealt with by simply increasing the number of people."

Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned deeply: "Does that mean something will happen to the captain...?"

"Perhaps. After all, he's still Natsukawa. Even if he died, he'd probably reappear the next day, all lively and energetic. But in that case—"

"The conquest of the Sixth Singularity will become impossible."

Roman picked up where Leonardo da Vinci left off.

This was not the situation of the Sixth Singularity that Natsukawa Torato had told him about. The enemy he faced was not the goddess Rungomminiad and the Knights of the Round Table, but rather an entity whose information was completely unknown.

(We've always had an advantage in combat within singularities, thanks to the information Natsukawa gave me before. But this time... no, should I say this is the kind of suffering we were supposed to have to endure all along?)

(In this situation, even if Fujimaru and the others were sent there via spirit particle transfer, it would probably be too late—)

"Doctor! Please let our spirits transfer there!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's sudden words startled both Roman and Leonardo da Vinci.

Roman frowned: "Fujimaru, this is too dangerous—"

“But we have no choice but to go, don’t we?” Fujimaru Ritsuka interrupted Roman. “A powerful enemy is not a reason for us not to face it, Doctor.”

"..."

“Please let us go, Dr. Roman.” Mash also expressed her opinion, her hands clenched tightly to her chest. “The Heroic Spirit within me… the power of Mr. Galahad, is also urging me to go there.”

Even Mashu...

"What are you doing? Romani, hurry up and prepare for the spirit transfer!"

Just then, Olga Marie's voice came from the doorway.

She crossed her arms and approached Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu: "Akuta Hinako is on her way, you two go first. But be careful, if we determine that your lives are in danger, we will forcibly bring you back regardless of your wishes."

"Chief...Yes, sir!"

"We understand, Director."

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu respond, Da Vinci nudged Roman in the waist, and Roman sighed helplessly—indeed, no matter how much he trusted Natsukawa, the situation observed here was beyond Natsukawa's ability to handle alone, so they had to send someone over to assist.

Regardless of whether it can ultimately be of any help.

——————————————————————————————————————————

"Clang—!"

"Clang—!"

Five minutes after Natsukawa Torato and Arthur's battle began.

Inside the throne room, which had been mostly destroyed.

"Bang------!"

The shattering noises never stopped.

"Thump—!"

The light emanating from the two holy swords tore through the ground, shattering everything in its path. The resulting roar and impact crushed everything sealed off by the spatial barrier.

Heavy and overwhelming.

This is the most genuine feeling that Natsukawa Torato is experiencing right now.

The pseudo-future vision and the senses of the elves did give him an advantage, but it was only temporary. Facing Arthur, who was constantly freed from the four seals, Natsukawa Tiger needed to concentrate fully on defending and dodging every attack.

If it were just that, it wouldn't matter, but the problem is—

"Sizzle—!"

The sword light burst forth, and the brilliance that had slashed down from two hundred meters away arrived in front of Xia Chuanhu in an instant!

As usual, Natsukawa Tora unleashed his holy sword at the same time that Arthur made his move.

"Boom—!"

The sword beams barely canceled each other out a short distance in front of Xia Chuanhu.

However, at that very moment, a figure suddenly tore through the dazzling light, and Arthur, who was rushing over at lightning speed, slashed out with his sword without hesitation!

This attack came almost simultaneously with the sword's edge.

Because of the inexhaustible magic power that filled his body, Arthur's magic power release could be said to have reached its limit. The strengthening effect on his body was far beyond what Natsukawa Tora could do. At least from Natsukawa Tora's perspective, Arthur's movements were like they were at 1.5 times the speed!

To fight Arthur now, even if he is an elf, one must constantly focus to the limit.

"Clang—!"

He parried Arthur's heavy strike in time, then twisted his wrist to grab Arthur's hand, and then headbutted him in the face!

But in the next instant, Arthur's knee strike landed on Natsukawa Torato's chin!

"Crack!"

"boom--!"

Both of them were sent flying backward by the other's attack, crashing into the very edge of the spatial barrier, causing the barrier itself to tremble!

The moment they collided with the barrier, their figures crossed a hundred meters again and collided almost at zero distance once more!

Staring at Arthur's face and eyes through the two holy swords, just like at the beginning, they were still lifeless and devoid of any emotion.

(Arthur...)

"Clang—!"

With a sudden burst of force, he pushed Arthur away and created distance. At the same time, Natsukawa Tiger instantly conjured countless chains that pierced towards Arthur.

"Zheng—!"

The holy sword shone with dazzling light, and the blade of light that stretched dozens of meters away swept swiftly, severing and shattering countless chains in one fell swoop. Without even the slightest pause, it pierced directly towards Xia Chuanhu!

(A half-baked attempt at making a fantasy a reality can't even create an obstacle! I need to make my fantasies more concrete—but I don't have the time!)

"Clang—Snap!"
