Besides battling against King Arthur, he also had soone by his side. A knight erged at King Arthur's flank and retracted his blade. It was Sir Geraint, a knight from the roundtable. If I had to guess Sir Geraint, he may be a friend that King Arthur trusted.
"I shall lend you my strength and battle for your cause, my friend..Am I allowed to join your battle, King Arthur?" Sir Geraint asked, while giving his body enhancent spells.
"You may, Sir Geraint. But leave Arthur and rleen to . You could attack that monster over there with that hideous fur."
Sir Geraint had a peculiar beard growing on his face, which described his ancient age. His armoured plate slowed his movents down, but enough to protect his skin. I even doubted that my Clarent would deal damage against that.
"What are you planning to do after this, King Arthur? Now that you've killed Abaddon, you've achieved the right to rule this kingdom..Even though the demons hate you, you would be their ruler," I confessed.
King Arthur grunted and replied, "I am not planning to govern this kingdom.I am cleansing this world from evil, specifically the demons."
"Are you out of your mind!" I interposed, and raised my voice. "There's no point killing the demons when they're already dying from the famine! Give them a rest, will you? You already took away their leader! You could, at least, give the demons a little break from your superiority!"
"That's the probel, Arthur.You are too kind. These demons are also monsters who killed humans. It's because they do not look like us-a normal human being, blessed with an appropriate body."
"You are no human, King Arthur.You are a monster," I retorted.
"Fine.If that's what you see , I don't care. After all of this, those people will thank for killing these demons. When I accomplish my task, I will rest inside my citadel and admire my work," King Arthur continued. "While the war is happening, I will hunt for the Holy Grail. Abaddon gave the coordinates to look for the chalice. But it appears that I need to crack a code unbeknownst to my knowledge.Maybe if you know the answers more than , since you ca from a different world.
King Arthur had a loose screw in his head as he narrated his goals. He thought that every demon had a chaotic mindset just because they weren't humans. So demons had a kind heart. And Lilith demonstrated that kindness, trying to prevent the war from occurring.
King Arthur also ntioned the holy grail he needed to seize as the war continued. The holy grail would grant any food to those who found the chalice. It would also give an unlimited amount of mana to the user, which was a legendary class item of magique.
I wanted to know more about the Holy Grail, but our safety was more important. If we wanted to live for another day, escaping this place would be our best bet. However, this event would be our last chance stopping King Arthur from doing what he wanted.
But, alas, King Arthur stood on our way. It was up to the three of us to battle against King Arthur and Sir Geraint.
"We need to bring down King Arthur no matter what.I know this is a tough task to finish but we won't have any chance if we run away. It's now or never," I announced, while glancing at my two allies.
rleen and Fenrir gave a nod after hearing my words. Although we were not equipped to fight right now, we would do our best to stop King Arthur. Abaddon could have wore him out before we had reached this place. That exhaustion would be our chance to turn the tables around against King Arthur.
"Arthur, give your orders."
"My mana is depleting. But I can still fight, Arthur!"
rleen and Fenrir remarked as the two won rose from the floor. Their eyes glared at Sir Geraint, which sparked an idea inside my head.
"Fenrir and rleen, you two take the knight. I'll take king ARthur.
Fortunately, I didn't have to deal with that. Fenrir and rleen would be the ones taking Sir Geraint, while I fight King Arthur. It was three against two.How bad could it be?
After hearing my orders, Fenrir and rleen widened their eyes in disbelief. Those two won looked at with a worried face, while preparing their weapons.
"Our fight against King Arthur didn't go as well as the three of us fought him.What would even happen if Arthur would fight that king alone?" Those were the faces carved on the won's faces as they gawked in my direction.
However, Fenrir and rleen couldn't do anything about my words. It was the most logical plan we could do before the situation could go out of hand. And the only thing we needed to do was stop King Arthur from wrecking the demonic kingdom. Because, if he did, an all out war would happen.
"Trust , okay?"
Fenrir reluctantly agreed to my words upon hearing my statent. Since it had co to this, the three of us faced off against King Arthur and Sir Geraint.
"Let us take this fight outside, shall we? King Arthur has graced us with a forefield, enough to fend off any uninvited creatures. Only humans could enter this realm. And since you're part human, you are technically allowed in the bubble," Sir Geraint said, as he launched himself to the roof. "If you won't follow , I will attack you three, specifically Arthur."
That knight wished to leave King Arthur and alone in a battle. Sir Geraint understood our ga plan and went along with it. He had a brimming confidence and accepted my battle, which made the two won fidget their hands. But their worries wouldn't do anything, as Fenrir and rleen leapt from the ground.
Two holes burst from the ceiling, leaving King Arthur and behind. It was what Sir Geraint and King Arthur had ntioned. My system described the invisible wall covering us as a barrier of so sort. Despite appraising the shield, my system didn't detect any nas from it. It only knew that it was an indestructible shield that blocked any creature besides humans.
"Perfect. There's nobody else bothering our fight.We can contend at our heart's desire without destroying any buildings. You won't even harm other demons in the city. It's fair play, Arthur; just like what you've wanted," King Arthur said, while inviting for the first attack.
King Arthur and I had our swords in our hands, which were also Excaliburs. It was the strongest blade in Magique, where it could penetrate anything. However, there was still a difference between King Arthur's sword and mine.
My blade refused to give the power I once had, while King Arthur had overwhelming strength. With raw power alone, King Arthur had the upper hand. But if I could compare our spells, I had that advantage.
Despite obtaining such a powerful sword, King Arthur couldn't use dark or light magic. That sword could only cut through physical and elental matter, not the overpowered attributes. It was a window that I had to win this match. And if I lose, I would lose everything in a blink of an eye.
"I know you have a dark magic inside of you, Arthur. If I were you, I would use it imdiately. I know most of your powers, because I've seen them. I have also watched you fight monsters when I stayed inside your body," King Arthur suggested, while chuckling to himself. "I may not have any of those unique abilities, but I have so spells of my own."
"If you're generous enough, can you spare a minute?" I asked.
I needed to take whatever I could against King Arthur, even if it ant groveling on the ground. Much to my surprise, King Arthur sat on the throne and waved his hand.
"Of course, Arthur.Take all the ti you need to fight . I will reward you with a handso offer.Just pray that's all you need to do to fight .""
I took the bluff and called it my opportunity. Since King Arthur gave his permission, I harnessed the arcane in this environnt. This spell would take approximately a minute to accomplish. Thankfully, with King Arthur's words, I could amplify my strength against him.
While that happened, King Arthur watched the obsidian lights flickering around us. It only ant that I activated my spell, which I would eventually absorb.
After a minute, my system announced that I had imbued Clarent with my dark magic. This dark matter would be the strongest weapon that would go against King Arthur. The fight would only depend on my experience in close-combat. All those battles I had would test for this fight for our lives.
"I'm ready." With my word, the battle began.
