To become a king and a magician

It was a colossal god so enormous that it made one feel insignificant.

Sitting on the throne shrouded in countless magic circuits, Natsukawa Torato looked up at the enormous creature that had climbed up to him.

"The exposed portion alone is already over two thousand meters long? Add to that the portion inside the deep pit, and it truly is a colossal giant measuring ten thousand meters."

At this height, if it were entirely on the ground, it would directly reach the stratosphere. Keep in mind that Mount Everest, the highest point in the world, is only 8848 meters above sea level, and Kornunos is even taller than that!

There is absolutely no creature on Earth larger than this giant god before us.

The Celtic horned god Cornunus was such a colossal creature that even if what was before him was just a slightly more resilient corpse, Natsukawa had no doubt that it could completely destroy the entire city of Camelot with a single kick.

Even without any special abilities, the sheer mass of a colossus, standing at ten thousand meters, would be enough to crush a mere castle with sheer strength.

Not to mention the endless tsunami of curses emanating from Kornunos.

"The influence has spread throughout Britain. More than 60% of the fairies have been transformed into Morse. Only the Fang Clan, the King Clan, and the Mirror Clan, which is protected by the remains of Albion, remain intact."

The curse of Cornunos is extremely poisonous to fairies; if a fairy touches even the slightest bit of it, she will turn into Morse, and even the Fang Clan is not immune.

This is why Natsukawa Tora had Morgan bring everyone else into the courtroom.

Even they couldn't withstand Kornunos's curse for long; his protection wasn't omnipotent.

Now, on the land of Britain, countless fairies are constantly transforming into Morse, black, insect-like beings that seem to be constantly splitting apart, spreading rapidly across Britain along with the flames that are burning throughout the land.

Observing the situation in all of Britain through the monitoring magic, Natsukawa Tora sighed slightly and activated the amplification magic that had been used for the past two thousand years to issue commands to all of Britain.

[Announcement to all fairies and humans in Britain]

Natsukawa Tora's voice instantly resounded throughout the skies of Britain, and all the fairies who still retained their sense of self immediately looked up!

"Your Majesty! It's His Majesty's voice!"

"We're saved, Your Majesty!"

The fairies, who were constantly dodging Morse's attacks, immediately showed expressions of relief!

His Majesty is about to make his move!

To save Britain from this sudden apocalypse, and to save those suffering in the end times, His Majesty the greatest and most powerful Elf King of all Britain will once again step in to defeat the calamity!

Just like every time a calamity has struck in the past two thousand years!

"Defeat the calamity, Your Majesty!"

"Please save us, Your Majesty!"

"Long live His Majesty the Elf King!"

The fairies who still retained their senses cheered, even forgetting that they were being chased by Morse and that they themselves could become Morse at any moment!

The three surviving clans—the chieftains of Oxford, Edinburgh, and the Lake District—all breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Standing on the walls of Edinburgh, gazing at the distant city of Camelot, the Queen Noknare, now the ruler of Edinburgh, looked at her mother, Mab, beside her: "His Majesty is about to take action. It seems this disaster will soon be over, Mother."

"Who knows?"

However, unlike the relief on her daughter's face, Queen Mab looked somewhat worried.

Two thousand four hundred years ago, during her meeting with Natsukawa Tora, she was already certain that Natsukawa Tora had no mercy for fairies. She couldn't even imagine that he would step in to save fairies, even though he had repelled countless calamities over the past two thousand years, but that was all based on protecting the island.

And now, the number of Morse on the royal clan alone has exceeded one thousand, and the rest of Britain is beyond even a glimpse.

(In this situation, how will he save the remaining fairies?)

......

"They might take some extreme measures."

Inside the clan chief's mansion in Oxford, a much older-looking Reinek rested his chin on his hand and spoke to his subordinate.

"Pass down the order to gather all the fairies that haven't been affected yet and protect them. Any fairies that are even slightly infected should be left outside and ignored. Prioritize protecting the healthy fairies. The same applies to humans; isolate and protect them separately."

"As ordered!"

The two members of the Tooth Clan who were serving Lenek immediately left to deliver the order.

Like Maib, Leneque, a fairy who is an old friend of Natsukawa Torata, naturally doesn't think he would honestly use normal means to save fairies. At most, he would only protect Britain, not fairies.

So, the only method that comes to mind is—

.......

"Everyone moved deep into the lake area and then headed towards the island of the end."

Within the lake region, at the residence of the Mirror Clan.

Einstein addressed all the members who had gathered there.

"That is where the Holy Sword sleeps. Even if the Holy Sword is no longer there, the aura of the Holy Sword that remains in that land can still provide us with some protection and ward off the curse."

"Of course, if you are unwilling, you can stay and accept your death."

Because the Mirror Clan is born with the ability to see the future, everyone knows their own death at birth, so they have no fear of death and therefore no fear of the present situation.

but--

"Isn't His Majesty already preparing to take action?" a fairy who had recently been born as a new generation asked in confusion. "With His Majesty around, we don't need to worry about calamities and curses at all, right?"

“No, what we need to worry about is not the curse, but His Majesty,” Einser said sadly. “If I’m not mistaken, something even more terrible than calamity and curse, [destruction], is about to descend. I can already see that future.”

Eincel is the patriarch of the Mirror Clan, and her precognitive abilities are the most powerful among all the Mirror Fairies.

Since she said that, it means—

In the name of the Elf King, I hereby issue this judgment.

Natsukawa Tora's voice followed immediately after Einser's words.

To save Britain, and to eradicate the calamity and curse, I will now carry out a mass extermination across the entire continent.

[Regardless of whether they are human or fairy, Morse or normal individuals, I will exterminate all life in Britain to eradicate the spread of the curse, until the calamity ends and all fairies are resummoned.]

Maib: "......"

Reinek: "..."

Einstein: "..."

Just as they had thought, faced with the situation where Morse was spreading throughout Britain, Natsukawa Tiger took the most direct and straightforward approach!

—Indiscriminately slaughter all humans, fairies, and Morse!

[The magic of civilization destruction begins from satellite orbit]

[Countdown—10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!]

[Magic Trick Unfolds]

[Using magic against the mainland and against civilization—'Falling Stars'—activated.]

With Natsukawa Tora's emotionless command, countless magic circles unfolded in the air, spontaneously combining into a gigantic magic circle that blotted out the entire sky and covered the entire island of Britain!

Then—

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom ————————————!!"

Countless meteorites fell from that magic circle!

53.1000% Holy Lance!

Stars fell.

Using a massive spatial displacement and gravity manipulation technique deployed from satellite orbit, meteorites located in outer space are directly pulled from the universe and accelerated through hundreds of spatial displacements before being annihilated on the ground.

This is a destructive magic that only Natsukawa Torato, who wields infinite magical power, can use.

Beneath these fallen stars, no matter how many Morse do multiply, they can be completely wiped out in an instant. Even if a fairy is resurrected, it will die again immediately, eliminating the possibility of it being cursed to become a Morse.

As for the normal fairies and humans... that was not within Xia Chuanhu's consideration. Just as the three clan chiefs he knew thought, he had no feelings for the fairies on this island. If annihilating all the fairies could protect the island, he would be happy to exterminate them all.

In fact, that's exactly what he's doing right now.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The roar of meteorites bombarding the city of Camelot continued unabated, shattering mountains and evaporating rivers as countless meteorites ravaged the land of Britain.

Although it's a bit heartbreaking, there are so many dead fairies whose corpses will fill in the broken parts. If all else fails, there's always Natsukawa Tora's imagination manifestation, which can restore the shattered world to its original state with just a thought.

Therefore, Natsukawa Tora didn't care about the situation outside Camelot City.

His eyes remained fixed on Kornunos.

"Alright, now you don't have to worry about the impact you'll have on Britain anymore. Next up is a one-on-one battle between you and me. Cornunos—magic output adjusted to 300%, Holy Lance activated, continuous firing."

The magic stored within the throne was unleashed like a flood, flowing through the magical circuits that spanned the throne like branches and vines, just like an electric current passing through wires, and was poured into the twelve gates of Rungomniad located on the main gate wall of Camelot!

"Buzz————————!"

The twelve Holy Lance cannons that were already bombarding Cornunos immediately burst forth with an even brighter light. Forty years of magic power was transformed into fuel to activate the magic, causing terrifying heat and light to converge at the cannon muzzles!

Then—

"Boom—!"

The twelve cannons fired again in unison! The holy lance, tearing through the sky, struck the giant!

The rotting flesh was burned and pierced by the light of the Holy Lance, and the horned god's body was visibly torn apart! Although it was a mystery reproduced through magic, the power of the twelve cannons was actually no less than that of the original body, not to mention that it burned away forty years of magic power in one go!

Even the Holy Lance in Gray's hands could not match the power of any of the twelve gates in a single instant.

However, Cornunus withstood the volley of twelve holy spears head-on—

"Useless...tsk."

Natsukawa Tora looked at the horned god who still stood firm under the volley of holy spears. Even though it was something he had expected, he still couldn't help but curl his lips in disapproval.

The twelve holy spears were not enough to defeat the Horned God.

This was something Natsukawa Torato knew from the very beginning.

After all, Cornunos is, in essence, a "dead one," and its decaying body is more accurately described as being composed of "curses" than pure muscle tissue.

Since being poisoned by fairies in the distant past, and having his own witch dismembered by fairies, Cornunos has been cursing the fairies for fourteen thousand years.

In other words, what stands before Xia Chuanhu now is a mass of curses that has been continuously expanding and accumulating for 14,000 years! Moreover, it is an immortal curse whose regeneration speed far exceeds the norm, and it will immediately regenerate even if a part of it is destroyed!
