To become a king and a magician

"They even used a private jet to pick us up. What a grand gesture!"

Sitting inside the private jet, Natsukawa Tora glanced at the luxurious first-class cabin, which was empty except for himself, Grey, and Lydia, and sighed.

Across from Natsukawa Tora, holding a cup of black tea, Lydia smiled smugly: "It's fine in the workplace, but in private I don't like being watched by too many people. Besides, if I'm recognized, it can cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, so I always book out the whole place whenever I go."

“Truly worthy of being a monarch…” Grey exclaimed in surprise. “But… is this alright? My brother and I entering your private space like this.”

"Ah, you guys—to be precise, it's not related to Little Grey. Natsukawa just benefited from your connections and was brought in along."

Hearing these blunt words, Natsukawa Tiger could only smile wryly: "Yes, yes, thank you for your great kindness, Miss. Acherlot."

With a soft hum, Lydia took a sip of her black tea: "Speaking of which, where did you go this afternoon?"

"I wandered around a bit, but I don't have the energy to go shopping with you girls."

"You think you can even defeat a dragon? You don't even have this much stamina?"

"When it comes to shopping, you women are more terrifying than dragons, okay?"

Natsukawa Tora would rather fight Kokutos dozens more times than go shopping with a woman; that would really cost him half his life.

Lydia frowned slightly and put down her teacup. "So, we still have about an hour before we get back to London. How are you going to pass the time? Do you know how to play poker?"

"All I know how to do is play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game)."

"What kind of game is that?"

"It's a unique gameplay mode in Shenzhou, very simple. I can teach you if you want to play. Grey, do you want to play?"

"..."

no respond.

Natsukawa Torato and Lydia both looked at Grey—whose face for some reason showed an undisguised fear.

"Grey? What's wrong?" Natsukawa Tora leaned closer and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Did you get airsick?"

"No... Brother... No..."

Grey gripped Natsukawa Tora's sleeve tightly.

“Something… is coming. I can feel it, a spirit is approaching, I can feel it.”

"Spiritual entity?"

"Xia Chuan, what's wrong with Grey?" Lydia asked. "If she's not feeling well, I'll call a flight attendant over right away."

"do not want!"

Gray's sudden shout startled both Natsukawa Torato and Lydia.

Like a drowning person grasping at a straw, Gray clutched at Natsukawa Torato's shirt, tears welling in her eyes, and cried, "Brother, it's coming. I can feel it, it's a very special and powerful spirit, it's coming!"

“Silly Grey is right.”

Ad, who was hanging under Grey's cloak, also gave a reminder.

“A very powerful guy is coming.”

"I see."

Although he didn't understand why, since it was Grey and Ad who said it, Natsukawa Torato wouldn't doubt its accuracy. To accommodate King Arthur's spirit, Grey's body had been deliberately modified to be particularly sensitive to spirits; since she said a powerful spirit was coming, it meant—

[Outside the door! Charge!]

Suddenly, this information flashed through my mind.

Without any hesitation, Natsukawa Tora grabbed Gray and threw her toward Lydel, shoving them both backward and kicking over a table to use as a shield in front of him.

And just as he finished these actions—

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

The powerful impact shattered the tightly closed first-class cabin door in an instant, and a tidal wave of flames rushed in, turning the entire first-class cabin into a sea of ​​fire!

Strangely, despite being surrounded by flames, Natsukawa Torama felt no increase in temperature whatsoever. Furthermore, the flames that occupied most of his field of vision were not the normal color of fire, but rather a ghostly blue, almost like will-o'-the-wisps.

"found it."

A somewhat hoarse male voice came from the doorway. Kicking the table aside, Xia Chuanhu looked towards the doorway and saw Aleister, dressed in a long black robe, standing there, with three semi-transparent spirits floating behind him like ghosts.

"It's obvious they're up to no good."

Reaching out to block Lydia and Grey behind him, Natsukawa Tora said in a deep voice, "You two stay away from here, I'll handle this."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Lydia retorted instinctively. She was, after all, a monarch. While she might have been somewhat flustered when Kokutos appeared, that didn't mean she was a weak woman without any power. In terms of magic, she was a standard monarch!

"Xia Chuan, aren't you underestimating me, the monarch? Come on, I'll show you the power of a plant monarch!"

“Miss Acerlott, calm down. In this situation, let me be your professional—”

Just as Xia Chuanhu was about to persuade Lydel to go back, Aleister, who was standing at the door, suddenly seemed to have a switch flipped, and the magical reaction on his body became stronger in an instant. The three spirits floating behind him also expanded and released a large amount of dark blue flames in an instant!

Then, the terrifying, dark blue flames surged forth like a flood, engulfing Xia Chuanhu!

"I'll do it—"

"Get to the back!"

Without any hesitation, he kicked Lydel away, sending her flying backward. Natsukawa Tiger then unleashed his maximum magic power and punched the oncoming flames!

Although he didn't know what effect the ghostly blue flames had, they were clearly a product of magic, so he thought he should extinguish them with even stronger magic.

However, the instant he came into contact with the flames, all of Natsukawa Tora's magical power vanished without warning, and even the enhancement spells he had already activated were forcibly deactivated for no apparent reason. Conversely, the wave of flames rushing towards Natsukawa Tora suddenly surged several levels higher!

"Varied--"

Almost without any defense, Xia Chuanhu was instantly engulfed by the wave of flames!

However, something even more unbelievable happened. After being swallowed up for only a second, the flames instantly dissipated, and Xia Chuanhu was standing there completely unharmed.

"What... what's going on?"

Xia Chuanhu was momentarily confused about what had happened. Just a moment ago, he really felt like he was going to be burned to death, but the flames had no temperature at all, as if he had just been blown by a strong wind.

This is how the same thing?

Just as Xia Chuanhu was filled with doubt, another piece of information surfaced in his mind—

[Ahead! Direct hit to the head!]

Xia Chuanhu snapped back to his senses instantly, and in that instant, his eyes fell upon a fist rapidly enlarging in front of him!

(Hide—no, Gray and Lydia are behind me! Use enhancement magic to block!)

He decisively crossed his arms in front of him and simultaneously used magic...

(Huh? Magic... I can't feel it?)

The emptiness inside his body made Xia Chuanhu pause for a moment, and at the same time, a rock-like fist slammed directly into his arms!

click-

A crisp snapping sound reached everyone's ears.

Immediately afterwards, like a kite with a broken string, Xia Chuanhu was sent flying by a single punch! He crashed into several tables and chairs, and even smashed a human-shaped dent into the wall!

65. Someone finally reappears.

(I got blasted away?)

impossible!

This was Natsukawa Torato's only thought.

Although he didn't receive any enhancement magic, because he had fused with Arthur's spirit origin, he was essentially a half-Servant, and his physical abilities were already so powerful that they were almost superhuman. He could withstand a punch without even moving an inch under normal circumstances.

Does the plane's flight cause instability in the lower body?

"It's been so long since I've been knocked away; I've almost forgotten what it feels like to get hit."

Staggering out of the wall, Xia Chuanhu glanced at his limp hand and curled his lip.

Both arms are broken.

(Should we temporarily connect using magic?)

Although I really want to do it, but—

"It seems they won't give me the leeway to do that."

call------!

A fierce wind howled, and a pitch-black voice instantly traversed space to arrive before Xia Chuanhu—it was a half-orc. Its body was extremely strong, every muscle as solid as rock, its limbs were ridiculously long, and its height was three heads taller than Xia Chuanhu's.

The orc threw another punch at Natsukawa Tora's head!

Having learned his lesson, instead of taking the hit head-on, Xia Chuanhu quickly ducked down and slid through the orc's groin.

"Bang------!"

The wall was punched straight through, making Natsukawa Tiger grimace: "Goodness... if someone got hit by that, their head would definitely be smashed."

(That's the one that just sent me flying, right? Its speed seems about the same as mine, but its strength... is definitely greater than mine.)

A tricky situation.

However, compared to the orc in front of him, Natsukawa Torato was more concerned about something else.

(I haven't been able to use magic since just now. It doesn't feel like my magic circuits are restricted, but rather that I can't draw any magic power at all.)

It's like a car that's completely out of gas. There's nothing wrong with the car itself, it just can't run because it's out of gas.

The cause of this situation was undoubtedly the dark blue flame. If you think about it carefully, the moment Xia Chuanhu came into contact with the flame, his magic power suddenly disappeared. After being swallowed up, he could no longer use magic power. Was the flame a manifestation of some kind of magic technique?

"call--------!"

Another gale struck!

The orc appeared before Natsukawa Tiger once again! This time, it wasn't a fist that attacked him, but a thigh as thick as a log!

"Bang----!"

The heavy stomping caused a roar, and Gray and Lydia caught their breath.
