I Am the Strongest (17)

The release of the thirteen seals on Excalibur, the "Old Saber" Arthur Pendragon, requires the approval of the Round Table.

These seals require very strict conditions to be broken.

But Arthur's is different; Arthur's only requires channeling Mana into it.

In this respect, Arthur is happier than Arthur Pendragon the Old Saber.

Judging from the Excalibur's True Name Release, Arthur had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

He is definitely not Arthur Pendragon the Old Saber from Fate/Prototype. He obtained the template of Arthur Pendragon the Old Saber through the game system, and it is an improved version of the cheat.

Just as mentioned at the beginning, the 'Arthur Pendragon' template is not Arthur's cheat code; the game system without any consciousness is his real cheat code after transmigrating.

The more Arthur thought about it, the more mysterious and unpredictable this mindless game system seemed.

I wonder if the game system will react in any way after I complete all the [Achievement Quest].

Thinking of this, Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Whitebeard.

'Sizzle sizzle...'

In the next instant, wisps of electricity began to swirl around Arthur.

'Call out--'

With a powerful push of his feet, he transformed into a dazzling beam of light, shooting towards the Whitebeard.

'Mana Burst (A)--'

'Armament Haki (A+)--'

'Crackling and popping...'

The Excalibur in his hand instantly amplified the power systems of both worlds, emitting a sound of colliding electricity.

'Swish--'

As they closed the distance, Arthur gripped Excalibur and unleashed a massive lightning slash at Whitebeard.

The golden sword, crackling with electric current, carved a deep trench into the already fissured ground.

The ground around them trembled violently.

The already fragmented 'Decalvan' is now in even greater danger.

The already fragmented 'Decalvan' is now in even greater danger.

This time, the sword pressure, enhanced by the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, was no longer something Whitebeard could catch with one hand while wielding Armament Haki.

'Buzz~ Click!'

Faced with this immense sword pressure, Whitebeard raised his naginata, the blade coated with a layer of small, transparent white light waves, and slashed directly at the oncoming sword pressure.

'Boom--!'

In an instant, the entire earth trembled.

Arthur and Whitebeard felt as if the ground beneath their feet was moving.

It was certainly not the power of a collision between lightning strikes and shockwaves, although the power of this attack collision was not to be underestimated.

But compared to the epoch-making attack just now, it's like comparing a firefly to the bright moon.

This attack was the last straw for 'Decalvan', which was already at its limit.

'Snap!!'

The rubble beneath his feet shattered, and the tall, imposing figure with the Whitebeard leaped into the air. Holding his naginata, he gazed down at the vast expanse of collapsed land, his expression grave.

"Now is not the time to be distracted!"

At that moment, a calm voice reached Whitebeard's ears.

Looking to the side, he saw Arthur, surrounded by wisps of electricity, had appeared beside him without him noticing.

The pale silver boots, gleaming with dazzling blue and white lightning, came crashing down with a backflip kick.

'Whoosh-- Boom!'

Faced with this kick, Whitebeard's arms instantly became enveloped in pure black Armament Haki, forming a crisscross pattern to block it.

But Arthur still kicked him, sending him flying into a beam of light that plummeted towards the ground in the distance.

"Call..."

Arthur, who finally kicked Whitebeard, froze in mid-air, letting out a heavy sigh of relief.

From the beginning until now, Arthur's Mana and physical strength have been almost completely depleted.

If it weren't for Zhao's 'Excalibur' just now, he might have seemed to be in complete control.

However, the fact that the Seven Seals could not be broken, allowing Whitebeard to escape this calamity, was far beyond his expectations.

As a result, Arthur can no longer use the True Name Release of Excalibur and Rhongomyniad.

Despite the Red Dragon Factor within him, which allowed him to recover Mana with every breath.

But this recovery speed was too slow for Arthur.

It even prevented him from summoning "Don Starion" and engaging in effective air combat.

Having obtained the 'Arthur Pendragon' template, Arthur felt he was finally about to face his first tough battle.

Fortunately, Whitebeard was in a similar situation.

There wasn't even time to react; Whitebeard is clearly nearing his limit too.

Chapter 274 I Am the Strongest (Seventeen)

The Whitebeard figure plummeted down, his tall and imposing stature no less impressive than a meteorite falling from the sky.

'Boom--!'

Just as his figure was about to land, Whitebeard slammed his naginata into the ground, and his exaggeratedly large body performed a backflip, landing steadily on the ground.

However, the ground beneath Whitebeard's feet, already riddled with cracks, sank even deeper under the weight.

'Whoosh--'

As he landed, a pale silver figure swiftly descended from the sky, its cloak and long robe swaying in the wind. Arthur held a slender, silver-white Holy Lance in his hands, thrusting it towards Whitebeard like a spear falling from the heavens.

'Clang!'

Faced with Arthur's thrust, Whitebeard, who had just landed, instantly gripped his naginata with one hand and delivered a powerful upward slash that precisely struck the tip of the Holy Lance.

A metallic clanging sound rang out, and a few sparks flew out.

'Clang clang--'

The continuous clanging of metal echoed in the ears of the whole world.

Instead of exaggerated clashes of techniques, in chapter 413, both Arthur and Whitebeard engaged in close combat.

Arthur mainly took the initiative to attack, while Whitebeard adopted a defensive stance.

It's hard to imagine how the Whitebeard, who is about seven meters tall, managed to keep up with Arthur's pace with his tall and burly physique.

However, none of this prevented the world's top experts from realizing that these two had reached their physical limits.

This scene captivated countless people in the New World.

If I go to Decalvan and kill those two men before the outcome of the match, wouldn't I become famous overnight?

Of course, this thought was only fleeting.

Although they were incredibly tempted, the title of "World's Strongest" held by Whitebeard and Arthur still made those greedy people stop their thoughts.

'Pfft--'

The fight continued. Arthur, who barely reached Whitebeard's knees, constantly shifted his position, thrusting his Holy Lance at an extremely tricky angle towards Whitebeard. (bhbj)

At first, Whitebeard was able to deflect these attacks one by one.

But if you try many times, opportunities will naturally appear before Arthur.

Especially with his ability to Future Sight using Observation Haki (A++), Arthur would never let any opportunity slip by.

Having found an opening in Whitebeard's defenses, Arthur thrust out his Holy Lance with incredible speed.

The pure Holy Lance, like a bolt of Inazuma, pierced straight through Whitebeard's right leg.

'Whoosh--Boom!!'

This deep wound seemed to be completely ignored by Whitebeard.

Instead, his muscles tensed, preventing Arthur from drawing the Holy Lance. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he gripped the naginata and, with a violent slash that cut through the air, brought it down.

Having already used his Observation Haki (A++) to Future Sight, Arthur was naturally well-prepared.

They did not choose to forcibly pull out the Holy Lance, nor did they choose to abandon it and flee.

Instead, he reached for the air with his other hand, and golden light quickly condensed into the Excalibur in his hand, which he then used to meet the attack head-on.

'Buzz~ Click!!'

'Buzz~ Click!!'

The naginata suppressed Excalibur, and Arthur, who was holding the sword with only one hand, felt a tingling numbness in his palm.

Whitebeard, however, seemed to have no intention of engaging in a physical contest with him. After his naginata was blocked, he actually released one hand and clenched his fist.

At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck Arthur.

The vision of the future arrived too late.

A transparent white light wave appeared on Whitebeard's clenched fist, and his tiger eyes stared at Arthur as he laughed heartily, saying, "Gurararara... When I was fighting Roger, you weren't even born yet! I've experienced 'Voice of All Things' countless times fighting that guy Roger. Do you think I didn't come up with a solution?"

"Compared to 'Voice of All Things,' your Future Sight is still very immature, you little brat."

The instant he finished speaking, Whitebeard, under Arthur's intense gaze, threw a punch.

In an instant, small cracks appeared in the atmosphere in front of them.

'Boom--!'

A terrifying shockwave surged forth wildly.

Like a hurricane, it swept Arthur away and spread forward for thousands of meters.

Gazing at the receding shockwave, Whitebeard glanced down at the Holy Lance on his leg, frowned slightly, and reached out to pull it out.

'Swish--'

The moment the Holy Lance was drawn, it automatically transformed into golden light and vanished.

"A strange weapon, it feels like it has recognized its master." Whitebeard muttered to himself upon seeing this.

Everything around the 'King of Knights' is strange.

Although people already have a very deep understanding of the 'King of Knights', the more they understand, the more intelligent people will discover the mystery surrounding this person.

Where did the King's Sword come from?

Is Pegasus a horse that ate Devil Fruit, or a real, existing creature?

How is Pegasus able to wield the power of lightning?

What is that spear, which is in no way inferior to King's Sword?!

All sorts of doubts arose because of the mysterious and unpredictable nature of the 'King of Knights,' leading to countless people's suspicions.

"Cough cough..."

'Sizzle sizzle...'

The shockwave spread for over a thousand meters before dissipating.

A thick cloud of dust had already billowed up along the ground.

A coughing sound, as if someone was choking or their internal organs were churning, could be heard from within the thick fog.

When the dust settled, Arthur was revealed, his body crackling with electricity, slightly disheveled but otherwise unharmed.

"I was careless..." Arthur stared at Whitebeard with a serious expression.
