"Using special frequencies to generate solar energy, the focus is on regular 'breathing'."
Escanor patiently explained to Estarossa: "As long as it interrupts the rhythm of my breathing, or simply makes me suffocate, these golden ripples will stop."
Estarossa was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Thank you for your special explanation, but how long can this state last? You know, Escanor, the next battle will be fierce."
"No, I will knock you down with one blow next. So, why don't you go all out from the beginning? I obviously gave you a chance." Escanor raised his one-handed axe: "Also, I noticed that you seem to
Is it my imagination that I am deliberately imitating someone?"
Lies won't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Estarossa's face disappeared.
Immediately, he spread his hands and said: "Really, I have no idea what you are talking about. An arrogant guy like you is really difficult to deal with. You don't understand the style at all."
What he responded to was a full blow from Escanor, who used the ripples to forcefully return to his daytime state.
"The merciless sun explodes!"
light and heat.
It fills every corner of this valley.
Estarossa's expression froze, and then she felt nothing.
At this moment, he wasn't even sure if he was still alive.
snap——
I do not know how long it has been.
A charred body fell heavily to the ground.
Call it a hit.
Just one hit.
no more, no less.
I got up and killed you with one knife. What is there to say?
Escanor carried the one-handed ax and stared at the half-dead Estarossa calmly: "Are you still breathing? Forget it, this is fine."
…
…
Camelot, the royal capital.
"It seems that the blocking efforts are going very smoothly." Through the artifact crystal ball, Marin knew the direction of the battle.
Because they had sufficient intelligence and complete preparations, the members of the "Ten Commandments" were defeated one after another, and the balance of victory was already tilted in their favor.
On the side, Arthur promptly paid tribute: "It's all thanks to your strategizing, teacher."
Marin looked at her 'community of destiny' and said with a smile: "Don't be careless, because our opponent is the demon clan."
"I know, Teacher Marlene." Arthur said with a respectful attitude, "Then, I will go and meet up with Lady Diane and Lady Elaine first."
"Yeah." Marlene nodded.
Arthur took his leave.
Leaving the mage tower, Arthur walked hurriedly in military uniform.
Halfway through, he suddenly stopped.
"Come out, I found you."
No need to respond.
There was silence in the imperial garden.
"Still want to show off? Well, then be obedient and don't move around." Arthur's eyes sternly drew his sword and slashed.
Swish——
The tall tree was cut into two sections.
A pretty maid appeared from behind the tree.
Arthur knew her.
This is one of the maids specially used to serve members of the Knights of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Arthur held his sword in front of him: "Lenice, no, you are definitely not Lenis now, what should I call you? You hide your head and hide your tail and dare not face my Mr. Demon Clan."
"How clever, I have obviously hidden my aura..." Fraudlin laughed strangely: "It is not a good habit for the young king of Camelot to walk around alone without bodyguards.
"
"There is no need." Arthur smiled: "My guards are not as strong as me, and I don't need their protection."
"Stupid ant, how ridiculously confident." Fraudlin left the body of the innocent maid, taking away all the vitality of the other party.
Feeling a life passing away in front of his eyes, Arthur became visibly angry. As if in response to his heart, the seemingly ordinary sword began to emit a sharp light.
"Huh? Could it be that this is the legendary holy sword that has been passed down from generation to generation?" Fraudlin touched his chin: "How lucky you are. I thought you wouldn't carry such a treasure with you."
"It seems that you are very interested in Excalibur. Do you want to try to take this inherited treasure from me?"
Hearing this, Fraudlin did not reply.
After a moment, he shook his head: "It's a pity that the moment you found me, I used magic to seal the surrounding area. You can't ask anyone else for help."
"Well, I discovered it too." Arthur was not panicked, but asked curiously: "Both the royal capital and the royal palace have restrictions and barriers set by the great magician Marlene. How did you pass through these barriers and sneak into the palace?
of?"
"In the final analysis, it's just a ridiculous trick of humans." Fraudlin seemed quite confident: "I don't take this level of magic seriously at all."
He lied.
In fact, returning from the Druid Holy Land.
Fraudlin was sent here by Gerudlis, intending to secretly control the little king of Camelot after the war started.
In order to break the seal set by Marlene, Fraudlin spent a lot of effort.
Fortunately, this protective method has a very wide coverage, and it is unrealistic to completely destroy it in a short time, but "drilling a hole" is not a big problem.
Fraudlin, like a mouse, got into the palace and secretly possessed ordinary people, looking for the opportunity for Arthur to be alone.
Today, he had waited for this opportunity.
However, the little king doesn't seem to want to sit still and wait for death.
"I heard that you are a wise king, and everyone is full of praise for you, so you shouldn't live." Fraudlin enlarged his body as he spoke: "In the Demon God Clan,
This era that is destined to sweep the continent has no room for a guy recognized by the Holy Sword!"
Come on, lie.
Come, sneak attack!
Fraudlin didn't know what martial virtue was and launched an attack brazenly.
Arthur's heart was beating wildly, but his expression remained calm.
After setting aside his sword, he saw Fraudlin's fist movement and skillfully raised it.
Ding!
The blade of the sword collided with the skin, making a clanging sound of gold and iron.
Fraudlin laughed: "I thought that the human holy sword was so powerful that it was not much different from ordinary weapons."
Arthur's level is not high.
At least not comparable to Fraudlin.
Don't look at this guy being tortured like a dog in front of Jon.
Facing the demonized Meliodas, he didn't even dare to let go of anything, so he decisively gave up and ran away.
Compared with ordinary Paladins, he still has a great advantage.
After all, as the only "Ten Commandments" that has not been sealed, he has also learned some messy skills over the thousands of years. He cannot use them when facing strong people, but he can use them all when facing weak people like Arthur.
"Collapse!"
Special fighting skills add three points to Fraudlin's strength.
Arthur was not aware of it for a moment, and was blown away far away.
Seeing this, Fraudlin used another move, 'Flow Strike'!
In a hurry, Arthur could only raise his sword to block.
Although he prevented this fatal blow, his body was still flying backwards, unable to even adjust his center of gravity.
"This is the end." Fraudrin jumped up high: "Goodbye, King Arthur!"
"It's you who should say goodbye!" Arthur's eyes ignited a golden flame inexplicably, "Holy Sword Excalibur!"
The arc of light reaches the sky.
The golden magic power directly shattered Fraudlin's barrier.
Along with Fraudlin, he was cut into two pieces.
"How can it be……"
Fraudlin couldn't understand.
Why was this scumbag with a combat power of five just one second ago?
The next second you will have the power to destroy stars.
"This is the holy sword that has harbored the wishes and expectations of generations of human kings, the nameless Demon God Clan. Do you know that I am not fighting alone, but fighting side by side with countless kings who have worked their entire lives for the rise of mankind!"
Arthur looked solemn, and the holy sword in his hand exuded golden magic.
At the same time, many shadowy figures of kings whose faces were unclear but extremely majestic appeared behind him.
"Don't be ridiculous, it's just rations, don't be too arrogant!" Fraudlin became surprisingly angry.
He knew that the plan to secretly possess Arthur had failed, and it wouldn't be long before other paladins would arrive.
But even so, Fraudlin didn't want to give up.
If secret possession fails, then take the other person's body by force.
"You have used a killing sword. With your weak magic power, how long can you sustain it?" Fraudlin put his separated body back together and rushed towards Arthur crazily: "It's over, boy, your body
It’s mine!”
'Strongness comes with a price.'
'Accepting power also means accepting "restraint".'
The words of the past echoed in my ears.
Arthur struck the ground with his sword in both hands.
The scabbard on his waist suddenly decomposed and turned into little bits of light.
"The field is unfolding, a distant ideal land!"
"What!?"
Fraudlin's inevitable blow was blocked by something.
The sudden change made him very irritable.
If I read it correctly, what Arthur was using just now was... a scabbard?
In the absolutely defensive barrier, Arthur said solemnly: "One of the 'restraints' is that only those with a pure heart and a righteous heart can use the power of the scabbard."
"The second "Restraint" is endless courage. Only those who dare to challenge powerful enemies can use the power of the scabbard."
"The third "restraint" is equal love and respect from the heart for all the people in the world who can use the power of the scabbard."
"Restraint No. 4, the virtue of humility..."
If the 'distant utopia' is an inexhaustible treasury.
Those "restraints" are the locks on the vault.
Fraudlin was numb.
Physical attacks are ineffective against barriers.
Magic attacks have no effect on enchantments.
Curses have no effect on wards.
Poison gas is ineffective against barriers...
How are you doing this?
If you can't beat it, just cheat, right?
Not only that.
Arthur's condition is also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A barrier of absolute defense?
Move the spring!
Fraudlin's mentality collapsed.
Why hadn't he heard before that humans had such a treasure?
This thing is much easier to use than the Holy Sword Excalibur!
"You only want to hide in a turtle shell? Boy!" Fraudlin tried to get Arthur to let go of the barrier.
But Arthur is not stupid.
His true strength can only deal with five or six red devils.
Coupled with the power of the Holy Sword, he can even compete with Fraudlin, who is at the bottom of the Ten Commandments.
But he is the king of mankind.
No need to rush into battle at all.
Guarantee that you won’t die once, and it will be considered a success if you keep the KDA steady~
"Nameless Demon Clan, you have already lost." Arthur smiled: "Taking action against me is a clever move, but you must not have thought that I have the power to protect myself."
Fraudlin:...
There's not enough information.
Who knew a mere human brat could be so difficult to deal with.
no.
Gotta withdraw!
Fraudlin was very calm.
But, he forgot one thing.
The moment the shielding barrier is destroyed, the magic wave can be perceived by the outside world.
This is the royal palace of Camelot, and Marlene’s mage tower is not too far from here...
"A mouse ran into the house. It's really annoying."
The voice from behind made Fraudlin stiffen.
Turning around slowly, the person he least expected to see appeared.
"What? You're surprised to see me." Mary crossed her arms and said, "But I still want to praise your ability. You can break through the defense I set up many years ago. Not bad."
"Marlene...Menspite said you are very troublesome, but I don't think so." Fraudlin's mind was racing: "Would you like to try and fight me, of course, after I recover my magic power?"
.”
"Are you finished?" Marlene blinked.
He stretched out his hand and trapped Fraudlin.
Under normal circumstances, this level of magic would not be able to trap him.
Unfortunately, the current Fraudlin was cut in half by Arthur once with the holy sword, and is no longer in his best condition.
One goes down and the other goes up.
Marlene easily controlled Fraudlin.
Fraudlin still refused to give up and shouted: "Let me out, I will fight you fairly!"
"Did you hear that Arthur, just in case, I mean just in case, even if you are in deep danger in the future, don't lose your mind like this guy and use such an inferior trick. Not only is it useless, but it is really embarrassing.
"
While speaking, Marin compressed the barrier that sealed Fraudlin, gradually turning it into a ball of black crystal.
Looking at Fraudlin who was trapped inside, Marin smiled and said: "The Kingdom of Leonis is offering a very, very high price to reward you. As the culprit who almost destroyed Leonis,
You must be looking forward to returning to that land."
Fraudlin in the crystal bared his teeth and claws, and he didn't know whether he was roaring or cursing.
Marlene's smile remained unchanged and she added unhurriedly: "Don't worry, I won't hand you over to them so quickly. I will study you carefully and expand my knowledge base with slices of various tissues in your body. But I want to hear
It seems that you don’t have the commandments of the Demon King, but you are just acting as the ‘Ten Commandments’, ah, what a pity.”
Arthur:……
However, although.
He knows Teacher Marlene.
However, even after seeing it so many times, I still feel a little uncomfortable with it.
With a slight cough, Arthur removed the barrier of 'Utopia'.
Marlene happened to cast her eyes over and looked again and again at Arthur's scabbard.
"Teacher, you know, this is the artifact given to me by Master Jon..." With that glance, Arthur began to explain like a primary school student.
Marlene waved her hand: "You have to take good care of the things that person gives you."
After a pause, "Speaking of which, do you know where Jon went? I haven't seen him since the war started."
"Ah, Lord Jon said...well, I'm sorry, teacher, he didn't let me tell you." Arthur tugged at the corner of his mouth: "This is what he specially ordered."
