To become a king and a magician

"How long are you going to sit there? And how long are you going to keep wearing that mask?"

Xia Chuanhu sneered.

"Roll down from there and take off that corpse you're wearing. I've been looking at it for ten years, and I'm already tired of it."

Hearing Xia Chuanhu's arrogant words, King Solomon, who was sitting on the throne, slowly stood up. Wisps of flame began to burn on his body, as if burning away his outer shell, gradually burning away his appearance.

After that, a figure that Natsukawa Torato also recognized appeared.

That was a foreign object.

It looked like a burly man with bulging muscles and thick limbs, and it was ferocious like a wild beast, making it look extremely scary.

Its head resembles that of a human with regular facial features, but it also has dense, branch-like antlers. Its hands are covered with numerous eyeballs, and it even has a bloodshot eye on its chest, which is terrifying.

This strange object, about the height of two people, appeared before Natsukawa Torato and Aozaki Aoko amidst the flames.

at the same time--

"Thump—!"

The entire space suddenly trembled!

As the monster appeared on the throne, an incomparably ferocious magical power erupted from it, instantly engulfing the entire temple!

The sky was stained black.

The grassland was dyed black.

The floating rock fragments broke apart further.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

One after another, demonic pillars rose from all directions, like the intertwined roots of an ancient tree, enveloping the entire space.

The central temple, which was like a paradise and a fairyland, was transformed in an instant into a scene of devastation after the apocalypse!

Bathed in that ferocious torrent of magic, the towering monster—the Demon King Goetia—stared down the steps at Natsukawa Torato and Aozaki Aoko.

"That was quite an extravagant entrance, wasn't it? You certainly have a strong desire to perform. Should I applaud you?" Natsukawa Tora said with a smile. "But—I don't think we need this kind of small talk, do we?"

"Goetia".

The holy sword was already in his hand.

The enemy is one of the seven evils of mankind, Beast I, Goetia.

A great calamity that threatens the human world and the primate world. If we take it as an enemy, the planetary enhancement that Natsukawa Tiger can obtain is undoubtedly the same as when facing Tiamat!

"Zheng——————————!"

The silvery light shone on Natsukawa Tiger, revealing the knight's armor on his body.

This is not a summoning magic, but merely a manifestation of Natsukawa Torama's power as the Star Holy Sword Wielder.

"Let's settle this, Goetia!"

The holy sword was pointed at the beast before him.

"Let's settle that battle that was cut short ten years ago in a real way!"

9. The Fifth Magic to Save the World

King Solomon and Natsukawa Tiger had a fight ten years ago.

Goetia knew this.

That was also the only time the two clashed. In the Holy Grail War, which was held to compete for the Holy Grail, the two, who were both determined to win, fought with all their might.

The battle ended in a draw—or so it appeared to onlookers.

However, those who witnessed the fight between the two knew perfectly well that it was undoubtedly a victory for Natsukawa Tora. Even though no winner was decided in the end, the scales of victory had indeed tipped in Natsukawa Tora's favor.

However, when victory was just a few steps away, the two stopped fighting together.

There is only one reason.

In order to join forces to deal with the incineration of humanity that will occur in the future.

—Goetia knew everything that happened in the Holy Grail War ten years ago.

Therefore, it also understood the meaning of what Natsukawa Tora said.

His purpose in coming here to this throne was not simply to prevent the burning of human reason; that was only part of the reason. There was another reason, and for him, that other reason was even more important.

"Da! Da! Da!"

As Goetia descended the steps, he stared at Natsukawa Tora: "How pathetic, how lamentable, how pitiful—the strongest weapon born from this planet, the Star Light that saved the world, has been inherited by a selfish person who has no intention of saving the world."

"He has the power to save the world, but lacks the will to do so."

"Just like six months ago, I will say it to you again: a savior who cannot save the world, your blade will never touch our grand ambition."

"Fighting with you is pointless and a waste of time—retreat."

Bang--------!

The moment Geitia's voice fell, the ground beneath Xia Chuanhu's feet exploded, and with that deafening roar, Baiyin's figure vanished from the spot in an instant!

next moment......

"Thump—!"

A blow powerful enough to shatter a mountain landed squarely on Goetia's chest! It slammed him back onto his throne with a single punch!

With a flick of his hand, Natsukawa Tora glanced coldly at Goetia.

"How arrogant you are, Goetia—who did you say couldn't save the world? Believe me or not, I'll tear you to shreds!"

"Perhaps my idea and will to save the world are not pure enough, but at least on the matter of 'I will save the world,' I have never been confused in the slightest."

Ten years ago, from the moment he resolved to inherit the Holy Sword from Gaia and Alaya, Natsukawa Torama was prepared for this.

Whether it's for my own selfish desires or for a world that I need to save.

He will complete both tasks.

Rising from the shattered throne, Goetia glanced at Natsukawa Torato out of the corner of her eye: "Selfishness, greed, insatiable desire... it's truly ugly. The worst aspects of humanity are perfectly displayed in you, and even amplified by you."

"Say what you will, I am fully aware of my own limitations—let's begin, Aoko."

Upon hearing Natsukawa Torato's voice, Aozaki Aoko composed herself, just as she had agreed before—

"——【Announcement】——"

"!"

For a moment, Goetia's facial features twitched.

(This is the incantation before using the fifth spell!)

Goetia wasn't entirely ignorant of the Fifth Magic; after all, in a sense, its plan to burn away human reason over three thousand years was similar in process to the Fifth Magic.

The essence of the burning of human reason is to use the entire human reason as fuel, transform all of human history into heat, and accelerate and converge it—the sum of the magic power it ultimately generates, and the huge band of light it condenses, are even enough to support a long period of time reversal.

From now on, let's go back 4.6 billion years, back to when the planet was just born, and rebuild it from scratch to create a perfect world.

——【Reverse Canal Journey/Genesis Light Year】

The miracle that Goetia sought to perform through the burning of human reason can be summarized as follows:

And this is also something that the Fifth Law can do.

Why use the Fifth Magic here? No, the question should be why Goetia didn't realize Aozaki Aoko was going to use the Fifth Magic? As a mere human mage, her combat power was naturally no match for Goetia and Natsukawa Torato. The existence of magic was the only reason she could come here!

She came here specifically to use magic!

But why? What does she want to do with magic? What purpose does she want to achieve with magic?

(No, don't worry about her motives; just eliminate her before the magic is complete.)

No matter how great the miracles that magic can achieve, Aozaki Aoko, who wields magic, is ultimately just a mortal, merely a fragile human being.

One strike is enough to eliminate her!

"Bang------!"

Goetia's enormous body displayed a speed completely disproportionate to its size, and like a meteorite impact, it suddenly swooped down from the throne towards Aozaki Aoko's direction!

However, the instant it moved, Natsukawa Tiger also moved in sync!

"Boom—!"

With a single strike of the holy sword, the burst of light cleaved through the space in front of Goetia like a torrent, creating a massive rift in the temple's grounds and splitting the entire temple in two.

Goetia's forward steps faltered for a moment, and his arms, which he couldn't retract in time, were completely shattered in the torrent of light. Immediately afterward, Natsukawa Torama's sword came crashing down on him!

"Clang—!"

The fist and the blade collided, producing an incredible metallic clang. Clearly, with the planet's blessing, Natsukawa Tora's power was amplified to a level that even Goetia couldn't match, and with a single blow, he forced Goetia back to its original position!

The planet will adjust the power given to the elf based on the strength of the elf's enemies.

Just like in the Seventh Singularity, Natsukawa Torato now possesses the power to single-handedly suppress Goetia!

"Don't bother her."

Natsukawa Tora smiled and looked at Goetia.

"My Qingzi is working hard to save the world. Could you please not disturb her and give her a little more time?"

"The Holy Sword Wielder—"

Anger and displeasure welled up in Goetia's heart.

Magic surged, and extremely ferocious magic raged across Goetia's body, causing his dark eyes to light up with a scarlet glow!

A torrential downpour of light burst forth from countless eyeballs in the next instant! Like a meteor shower, it shot towards Natsukawa Torato and Aozaki Aoko!

"Very good, come on—!"

Without any fear, Xia Chuanhu directly swung his sword and unleashed a huge curtain of light!

The Star Sword Wielder who will save the world.

One of the evils of humanity that destroys the world.
