To become a king and a magician

Drawing magic from the throne once more, Natsukawa Torama took a deep breath and channeled the magic into the magic circuit, feeding it into the Holy Lance Turret.

However, at this moment—

"Thump thump thump thump————————!"

The cursed hands crashed against the magically formed barrier like waves. Although it was a barrier specially designed to resist, after being bombarded by these countless cursed hands for several minutes, even the strongest barrier could not withstand it.

The barrier supported by the golden tree shattered upon impact! Endless cursed hands immediately surged toward the twelve holy lances!

"Magic Copy, restart—"

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang————————!!”

Xia Chuanhu immediately wanted to re-deploy the barrier, even if it would delay the firing of the Holy Lance by about two seconds. He had to prioritize the safety of the Holy Lance; it would be terrible if it were destroyed by those cursed hands.

However, before Natsukawa Torata could unleash his power again, a golden rainstorm suddenly descended from the sky. Thousands of golden ripples instantly covered the area above the great void, and countless Noble Phantasms were fired out like cannonballs! They shattered the cursed layer covering Kornunos and the ever-growing and multiplying cursed hand!

And then—

"Wake up, EA!"

With a cold, emotionless shout, a crimson storm powerful enough to tear space apart swept outwards, wiping out everything around the twelve holy lances!

Natsukawa Torato looked up in surprise: "Angelica? No, not just her, but also..."

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

A deafening thunderclap resounded under the blood-red sky, and a crimson storm of lightning fell straight down from the sky and pierced through the earth, as if to crush and grind Cornunos. It surged from all directions toward the center of the great void, constantly destroying and shattering the cursed layers and the divine body!

"roar------------!"

The dragon's roar soared straight into the sky.

(A mimicry of Sajou Rei... How did they end up here?)

Natsukawa Torato didn't really pay much attention to these two self-proclaimed "traitors," and simply let them do as they pleased afterward.

Are they here to help me now?

"Clap!"

A figure then gracefully descended from the sky, stepping onto a magic circuit resembling winding branches, and arrived in front of Natsukawa Tora.

"Hey, we're here to help you, you silly tiger."

“I should have locked you all up, Arcueid.” Natsukawa Torato looked up at Arcueid standing before him. “Did Sajou Rei and Angelica release you?”

"Of course. Although the magic my master used to confine me is quite sophisticated, for me, whose power source is the Holy Grail, I only need to make a wish to the Holy Grail to destroy the magic itself."

Riding a crimson dragon, Rei Sajou landed at the edge of the platform and smiled at Toramaru Natsukawa: "If you wish to punish me, Master, please wait until we defeat Kornunos together."

"Although we came here to bring our master back to the history of humankind, and were once your enemies, our desire to assist you now is absolutely genuine."

"......"

Xia Chuanhu was silent for a few seconds, then sighed helplessly: "I didn't ask you to come and meddle in other people's business—but you've come at the right time. I need an opportunity to shatter the core of the Kornunus God in one blow. You should be able to create one for me, right?"

"As long as it is your command, I will do it for you, no matter how impossible it may seem."

Sajou Rei laughed, "However, my magic power might be a little insufficient. Just now, in order to break my master's magic and to keep bombarding the Horned God with lightning, I used up too much magic power in one go."

"This is not a problem."

Natsukawa Tora raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Dozens of circuits immediately extended from the crown of the golden tree-like magic circuit and were inserted into various parts of Sajou Rei's body.

In an instant, a massive amount of magical power, like a tsunami, poured into Sajou Rei's body!

"boom------!"

Golden light emanated from Sajou Rei and even shot into the sky, the immense magical power exceeding her capacity to contain it!

Sajou Rei had never felt so satisfied before. Her body was filled with magic from the inside out, making her feel as if she had returned to a time long ago when she was still connected to the Root.

"I've given you the equivalent of three Holy Grails' worth of magic power. That should be enough, right?"

“Yes.” Sajou Rei nodded. “However, compared to this rough, direct injection, I still prefer that the master can make contact through the mucous membranes—”

"Go get to work!"

Arcueid launched a flying kick that created a shockwave, driving Sajou Rei away from the open-air balcony.

Looking somewhat helplessly at the fuming Arcueid below, Sajou Rei stroked her body, which was linked by magic circuits, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"It's been more than half a year, hasn't it? Receiving magic from my master like this... is more satisfying than ever before, don't you think, Aika?"

That's why we need to seriously defeat the gods this time, after all, the prince really asked us to do that.

That's right, we need to take it seriously.

Shatiao Lingyi stood up from the dragon's back, raised her hands high to the sky, and countless rays of light gathered in her hands, eventually forming a huge, shining holy sword.

Reenactment Device, Simulation, Sword of Excalibur.

"Angelica, Arcueid, get ready to go together and make a huge hole in it!"

"Yes, Lord Lingyi."

Holding the sword Ea, Angelica once again set Ea spinning, and a crimson storm soared into the sky.

"Don't try to order me around!"

Arcueid, who had jumped back onto Vimana, took a deep breath. Behind him, a rainbow-colored halo faintly appeared, like a vortex of starlight or a colorful black hole, drawing people's attention to it uncontrollably.

And in its deepest center, a glimmer of starlight quietly blooms.

next moment--

"Boom—!"

The gigantic Star Sword.

A crimson storm tearing the world apart.

The breath of stars piercing the sky.

The attacks from the three men converged on Cornunos at the same time!

The endless cursed hands attempted to block, but were instantly annihilated and vaporized upon contact! The combined power of the light, perhaps even surpassing the Holy Lance Barrage, fell upon the Horned God without any hindrance!

"Bang------------!"

56. Godslayer, Part Two

Successful.

As the attacks of Sajou Rei, Arcueid, and Angelica broke through the defenses formed by the Cursed Hand, Natsukawa Torama made that conclusion.

The curse layer was shattered once again, and the divine body was defeated once more.

Unlike the simultaneous firing of the twelve holy lances, this time the three attacks left Cornunos with a wound twice as large as before!

It practically shattered Cornunos's chest completely!

"Glug glug glug glug glug glug!"

The curse immediately began to boil!

Even with such a powerful attack, it is still impossible to completely remove the curse from Kornunos. In fact, even such a severe wound will be quickly covered by the curse layer under the influence of the ever-growing curse, allowing Kornunos to return to a completely unharmed state!

And the time required will not exceed twenty seconds.

However, Sajou Rei had just squandered all the magical power of the three Holy Grails, and Arcueid was also unable to move for about ten seconds. Even if she could catch up, she and Angelica would need to deal with the gathered cursed hands around them.

Therefore, the huge opening created by the combined efforts of the three might be their first and only chance.

(Well done, Sajou Rei, Angelica, Arcueid, you bought me twenty seconds. Now it's my turn.)

The remaining magical power within the throne will last for about 1,200 years.

Without any hesitation or stinginess, Xia Chuanhu immediately released all the restrictions, allowing the magic power to flow into the twelve holy spears on its own!

"Buzz~~~~~~~~~!!"

The twelve cannons successively emitted platinum, and even golden-red light. This was a sign that the magic was being overfilled, causing the cannons to begin to be overburdened. The 1000% filling was already close to the limit of the cannons, and now more than 1000% was being filled.

Twenty seconds passed, and the wound on Kornunos's chest was visibly covered by the curse layer. The figure of Aurora, who was used as the core of the god, was also gradually concealed on Kornunos's chest.

"Tiger!"

Arcueid couldn't help but shout.

And in the very next instant after she shouted it out—

"Holy Lance, pull anchor."

"BOOM————————————————————————!!"

With Natsukawa Torato's final command, the twelve overloaded turrets simultaneously unleashed their most dazzling holy lance light!

The magic that had accumulated over two thousand years was completely wiped out and reduced to zero at this moment!

"Bang------------!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the twelve holy lances simultaneously struck the chest containing Aurora's core! They devoured her in an instant, her entire body melted and evaporated by the light and heat of the holy lances!

Then, the light of the Holy Lance pierced through the divine body of Cornunus!

The curse was continuously purified and eliminated in the light, and the decaying divine body decomposed and disappeared under the terrifying heat—after losing its divine core, the activity of the curse on Kornunos decreased significantly, almost to the point of stagnation, and it completely lost its previous terrifying regenerative ability.

"Hold on a little longer, Holy Lance."

Xia Chuanhu watched the Holy Lance with some concern.

We absolutely cannot stop now. If we stop the Holy Lance's output at this point, Cornunos's divine body cannot be completely destroyed.

Although it has been heated to the point of exploding at any moment, Natsukawa Tora hopes that the Holy Lance can continue to hold on for now. About 60% of Kornunus's divine body remains, and there will be no problem if the remaining part is completely destroyed.

"Let's go help too."

Arcueid stretched her limbs, raised her hands, and conjured a storm of thunder and rain in her mind, beginning to ravage the corpse of Kornunos. Angelica, meanwhile, opened the maximum number of Treasure Gates, recklessly unleashing her Noble Phantasms.

Sitting on the back of the giant dragon, Sajou Rei sighed softly as she looked at the two who still had the strength to fight: "This is really good. I have absolutely no strength left. Just being carried like this is my limit... But with this, the [Curse of Calamity] should be over, right?"

The curse summoned the beast, and the beast summoned the flame.

The three great calamities that should have destroyed Britain, the Cursed Calamity which was its root, has been defeated. As a result, Bagst and Melusin will not become new calamities due to the aftereffects of the Cursed Calamity.
