Slaying a God Succeeded (Part 1) / O God, Please Fall! (Part 2)

He was too lazy to use the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power to test the waters.

Next, we can't afford to waste our energy.

"The five seals have been lifted--"

"The five seals have been lifted--"

Then, Arthur raised Excalibur once more, and a golden light emanated from his body.

These golden rays, like the spell of Perseus, enveloped Arthur's entire body.

Arthur's body, including the Excalibur in his hand, seemed to be draped in a golden light, exuding a holy and noble aura.

"Then, let's begin the second round!" Arthur, who was ready, said with a smile.

"Interesting..." Perseus's eyes lit up with excitement as he said with great interest, "Divine power, like a power of light born to subdue evil, I do indeed sense a threat emanating from it."

"It seems that your talk of 'becoming Fool's is not just empty boasting."

'Call out--'

The sound of electricity cutting through the air came again, and a Strong Wind lifted Perseus's blond hair and cloak.

'Clang--Boom!'

With a swift upward thrust of his longsword, he blocked the Golden Sword that was slashing down in front of him.

Another crater appeared beneath the feet of Perseus and Arthur.

Unlike their previous imposing auras, this time both of them emanated almost the same power.

'Whoosh--'

Perseus blocked Arthur's slash with one hand, feeling the power in his hand, and a serious look appeared on his face.

With a forceful flick of his longsword, he instantly knocked Arthur's Excalibur away.

Perseus, sword in hand, slashed horizontally at Arthur.

The sound of something cutting through the air had barely rang out when Arthur anticipated it, shifting his foot backward to skillfully dodge Perseus's attack.

The Excalibur, wreathed in golden light, flashed once more, aiming for Perseus's neck.

'Clang!'

The clash between the longsword and the Golden Sword sparked a shower of sparks.

The scorching heat accompanying the golden light, along with its impact, caused Perseus, who was blocking the sword tip with the blade, to take a small step back.

"The five seals are broken, Excalibur--"

In that instant of shifting backward, a glint flashed in Arthur's eyes.

Without saying a word, he released the accumulated power.

A dazzling golden light roared out.

Golden Torrent, like a tsunami.

Perseus, caught off guard and unable to react, was completely overwhelmed.

'Rumble--'

The Golden Torrent stretched for hundreds of meters, leaving a trail of intense heat on the ground, with faint bubbles of molten lava rising from the earth.

According to Arthur's Observation Haki, Perseus, who was in the Golden Torrent, was gradually losing his aura.

Clearly, Arthur's sudden powerful attack caught him completely off guard.

Chapter 328 Successful God-Slaying (Part 1)

After the Golden Torrent dissipated, the land hundreds of miles in front of Arthur showed signs of being baked by the high temperature.

Not only was a deep crater dug into the ground, but it also emitted a crimson color, with magma bubbles rising in many places and large swaths of white mist spreading out.

At the end of the trail, a figure slowly emerged from the white mist.

Unlike his previous gentle and refined demeanor, his clothes were now tattered and torn, with several pieces of fabric burned, revealing his scalded skin underneath.

Perseus's face had lost its confidence, replaced by a somber expression.

"Carelessness is the original sin, and I never thought I would fall into that trap myself," Perseus said through gritted teeth, staring at Arthur.

I wanted to test my Swordsmanship with Arthur, but I never expected that the holy power of light to be the prelude to a powerful attack. What a blunder!

"Young man, I will not be careless again!" Perseus's body emitted a white glow, even more dazzling than before.

After the fluorescence turned into a dazzling light, it suddenly detached from Perseus and transformed into a white winged Pegasus.

"Hey... young man, struggle desperately! Now is the time for God's Judgment!" Perseus leaped onto the back of the Pegasus, soaring into the sky. The longsword in his hand vanished, replaced by a longbow.

Holding a longbow in one hand, Perseus conjured an arrow out of thin air with his other hand, about to nock it on the bowstring and aim at Arthur.

"Have you chosen aerial combat?" Arthur asked with a smile.

In a way, Perseus was quite similar to him.

Whether it's their clothes, hair color, or even their mounts, it's all the same.

"Show your might, Don Starion!"

The Excalibur in Arthur's hand transformed into a golden radiance, then into a slender, silvery Holy Lance.

Golden light gathered at the tip of the spear, and Arthur thrust it skyward.

A dazzling beam of light shot out from the tip of the gun and soared into the sky.

"Hiss..."

The sound of a horse neighing rang out, and a white steed galloped down the mountain.

A powerful flow of Mana emanated from Arthur's body, transforming into a white light that covered his entire body.

When the white light dissipated, Arthur's pure white knight's outfit had transformed into a pale silver armor, along with a dark blue robe and cloak.

'Whoosh--'

With a leap, Arthur landed on the back of "East Starion's" horse, and the Holy Lance in his hand transformed into the Spear of Judgment, adorned with a halo of light.

'Call out--'

This process took only a dozen seconds. The moment Perseus saw Arthur leap into the air, he released the bowstring he had been pulling up.

The sword, having fully charged up, shot out like a beam of light.

'Strike Air!'

'Whoosh--Boom!'

Having foreseen this scene, Arthur had already unleashed the power of the Invisible Air when the Holy Lance switched to Riding mode.

As the arrow flew from the bowstring, the Holy Lance in his hand also unleashed a slash formed by the winds of the world.

The storm and the arrow collided in mid-air, creating a deafening explosion.

'Call out--'

Before the echoes of the explosion had even faded, another piercing sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

An arrow cleaved through the wind and waves, flying towards Arthur at incredible speed.

Just like Arthur's sudden Excalibur, this arrow is clearly Perseus's tit-for-tat retaliation.

If it were someone else, they would certainly have had a hard time reacting in time.

But in his first battle against the 'Heretic God', Arthur was on high alert at all times, so much so that he unleashed his full Observation Haki, fighting while simultaneously keeping an eye on the ever-changing future fragments flashing in his mind.

This arrow was exactly what he had expected.

"East Starion..." Arthur suddenly called out to his King's Horse.

"Hiss..."

The telepathic connection allowed "Don Starion" to instantly understand Arthur's meaning.

'Call out--'

A few strands of electricity flickered on the mane, and the horse stomped its four hooves hard.

Just before the arrow arrives and strikes.

In that instant, Arthur and "Don Starion" vanished in a slender Inazuma.

"I see it, young man!" Perseus shouted, taking out another arrow and shooting it towards the nine o'clock direction.

"Now, with the Shemesh's Blessing, I unleash this arrow! My sure-kill arrow, you'd better accept it!"

'Call out--'

A dazzling Sun appeared behind it, and the arrow shot out like a meteor, splitting into three. Its pinpointing ability, which contained the power to kill without fail, actually interrupted Arthur's teleportation, revealing his figure and that of "Don Starion".

This was the first time Arthur's teleportation had been interrupted since he ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

". "Avalon--"

Seeing the three arrows hurtling towards him, Arthur was in a state of shock and quickly unleashed the power of 'Avalon'.

'Boom--!'

A transparent white light shield appeared and enveloped Arthur just as three arrows struck.

The arrow seemed to contain powerful explosives, creating a violent gust of wind.

"Gods, how terrifying!"

After the storm subsided, Arthur, who had appeared unharmed, seemed to have undergone a change in demeanor.

At this moment, Arthur finally understood why humanity would submit to the God Slayer.

Because human power is simply no match for the 'Heretic Gods'.

The 'Authority' of (Qian Zhao) exclusive deities is despair-inducing.

Since the start of the war, Arthur and Perseus have only exchanged less than ten blows.

But aside from Perseus being caught off guard and struck by his Excalibur, this 'Heretic God' felt like an impenetrable wall, without any flaws.

Close-range slashes are nullified, and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is also nullified.

It seems to be forcing Arthur to use his final trump card.

Arthur didn't want to use the True Name Release of Excalibur and Rhongomyniad, but he knew that Perseus, who stood before him, possessed the ability to resurrect.

He had to conserve his physical and Mana so that 'Perseus' would die first.

Otherwise, once he was exhausted, he would definitely not be a match for Perseus.

But now it seems his intentions cannot be achieved.

We have no choice but to fight tooth and nail!

Chapter 329 God, please fall! (Part 2)

"What's wrong, young man? Charge forward bravely and attack me without fear!"

Seeing that Arthur had stopped, Perseus was in no hurry to attack. Instead, he put down his longbow and said with a smile.

"Just a moment, it'll be ready soon!" Arthur responded to Perseus's provocation and then slowly closed his eyes.

Surrounded by the light shield of 'Avalon', Arthur was not afraid of Perseus's sudden sneak attack.

Despite the fact that the Haijilan Kunmu α Mine w system was completely restrained when facing 'God Slayer' and 'Heretic Gods'.

However, Arthur's Noble Phantasm is not among those that can be countered.

On the contrary, this was Arthur's only means of killing the god.

"Seven Seals broken--"
