Halfway Interception, the Sword of Certain Death and Certain Hit / Excalibur Protected by an Authority

Hearing this, Arthur looked up at her and said with a smile, "You've got quite the courage, young lady."

"Thank you for the compliment." Erica gladly accepted the compliment and said with a beautiful smile.

"Alright, then I'll tell you!" Arthur put down the Prometheus's Grimoire, crossed his legs elegantly, and said with a gentle smile, "My goal in coming here is indeed the 'Heretic God,' and I've already challenged him to a duel."

After serving as the "God Slayer" for half a month, Arthur met many "subjects" who bowed down to him. They were all afraid of him and dared not anger him. They all spoke so carefully and respectfully.

As a result, Arthur maintained a lukewarm attitude towards everyone except Saber and Salvatore Doni.

That's not his true nature; he was forced into that state.

Arthur was also very helpless.

Now Erica is not afraid of him at all, and Arthur has also taken the girl seriously and acknowledged her.

'Boom--!'

Just as Erica's beautiful eyes narrowed at Arthur's words, a divine power fluctuation that only God Slayer and Magecraft could sense suddenly permeated the entire Sardinia.

The sky outside had clearly changed from azure to gloomy.

"The war of the gods has begun..." Arthur put down his crossed legs, slowly stood up, looked at the overcast sky outside the balcony, and said softly.

Chapter 336 Interception on the Way, A Sword That Can Kill Without Failure

"The war of the gods has begun--"

May you return victorious!

Upon hearing Arthur's words, Erica instantly understood, and immediately raised her right hand to her left breast, offering her a gentle blessing.

'Sizzle sizzle...'

Holding the 'Prometheus's Grimoire', Arthur opened the balcony window and vanished in an Inazuma.

As he left, Erica immediately ran out of the hotel room.

Knowing only a tiny fraction of Arthur's abilities, she began organizing people to evacuate the crowd, so that innocent people wouldn't be caught in the crossfire of the divine war and die needlessly.

Just moments before, a brief but violent 'earthquake' caused a building and street to collapse. Now, the weather has instantly turned from sunny to cloudy, with dark '097' thunderclouds obscuring the entire Sardinia of Sardinia. The violent Inazuma and thunder have caused serious unease among the Sardinia's residents.

The world was like the end of the world, with thunder and Inazuma.

As Arthur flew towards the center of the divine power eruption, he was met with an incredibly strong Gale, which made his pure white knight's robes flutter wildly.

Just as mentioned before!

The arrival of a high-profile and arrogant "Heretic God" will bring disasters to the land corresponding to its attributes.

The "Heretic God" who created this apocalyptic scene was not the "God of War" Verethragna, but rather "the King of Gods, the Great Warrior, the Strongest Dragon Hunter— Melqart," who was awakened by the "God of War" Verethragna.

He is the sky god who controls 'storms' and 'Inazuma'.

Thunder in the sky is not actually something to be afraid of.

Especially for Arthur, who possesses the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, lightning has long been a master of his craft.

However, there is no doubt that these Thunder can completely counter his Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

It's still the same old sentence--

Even though the Rumble-Rumble Fruit could easily destroy an island, the difference in dimensions meant that it would inevitably have to submit to a higher-dimensional power system.

It's been half a month since Arthur arrived in this world. He has fought against "God Slayer" Salvatore Doni and "Heretic God" Perseus, but apart from using the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to increase his speed for dodging, he has never used it for combat.

Having temporarily rendered his abilities useless, Arthur was too lazy to expend unnecessary energy.

Arthur moved like Inazuma, flying towards the center of the divine power eruption, a beach on Sardinia.

As the buildings thinned out, mountain roads and the sea came into view ahead, and Arthur finally spotted a figure.

It was a giant, a giant who was about twenty meters tall.

He had a head of messy, unkempt hair and a beard that covered the lower half of his face. Combined with his enormous size and the backdrop of Thunder and Gale, he exuded power and gave people the feeling that this was the true aura of a 'god'.

He seemed to be walking in one direction, as if he were going to an appointment or looking for someone.

He seemed to be walking in one direction, as if he were going to an appointment or looking for someone.

He is the god-king whose true form is 'Baal', the god-king worshipped by the Canaanites, and the sky god with titles such as supreme god and king of gods— Melqart.

"Hmm? I smell the scent of the 'Fool'..."

At that moment, Melqart suddenly stopped, letting out a thunderous roar.

Following Arthur's gaze, a bolt of Inazuma streaked towards them.

'Sizzle sizzle...'

Inazuma materialized into Arthur's form, his body wreathed in wisps of electricity, hovering in mid-air before Melqart.

"God, are you 'God King' Melqart?" A fierce fighting spirit involuntarily surged in Arthur green eyes, but he still asked with a faint smile.

"The fact that you know my name proves you came prepared!" Divine power surged from Melqart's body, causing the dark clouds in the sky to flow rapidly like water, Gale to howl. A heavy, thunderous voice came from his mouth. "I am Melqart, the king known to all in the world."

"Then, come and fight me, gods—" The electric currents on Arthur's body vanished, replaced by a layer of golden fluorescence covering his entire being. A vast expanse of light also appeared in his hand, quickly coalescing into the Excalibur...

"I sense a rich divine power within this sword. Is it a golden blade specifically crafted to combat evil?" Melqart stared at Excalibur in Arthur's hand and sighed deeply, "I never imagined such a Divine Artifact could still be preserved in this world."

"Gods and Fools are natural enemies... Logically speaking, I should indeed accept your challenge!" Melqart suddenly looked into the distance and continued, "But I still have an unfinished battle with that ancient Persia god of light."

"Oh? Shouldn't the gods set aside their grudges and unite against the 'Fool'?" Arthur tilted his head slightly and said with a smile, "But you don't need to worry, the god of light you mentioned, the ancient Persia 'war god' Verethragna, hasn't fully reclaimed his power yet."

"Besides, you won't have a chance to see him anymore."

"God... enter the battlefield I have prepared for you!"

"Reality Marble-- "

The moment the words were spoken, the surrounding environment changed rapidly.

The apocalyptic scene vanished, the Gale dissipated, and the overcast sky turned a brilliant blue.

Arthur and Melqart's location was moved to a large, scenic island.

5.4

"A mental landscape materialized into a barrier?" Arriving on unfamiliar land, Melqart showed no panic. Instead, she immediately recognized the essence of the 'Reality Marble' and said admiringly, "It's not Authority, but it's similar to Authority! It seems that before you became the 'Fool,' you were quite a remarkable Magecraft."

"Thank you for the compliment. Shall we begin?" Arthur felt his fighting spirit boiling over.

Indeed, to suppress that 'battle maniac' trait, it needs to be unleashed to its fullest extent.

"At this moment, with the Shemesh's Blessing, I unleash this sword! A sword that is certain to kill and always hits its mark—"

A seven-colored halo appeared behind it, and terrifying magical power permeated the entire island.

Chapter 337 Excalibur with Authority of Protection

"At this moment, with the Shemesh's Blessing, I unleash this sword—a sword that will surely kill!"

A seven-colored halo appeared behind him, and Arthur raised Excalibur in his hand, unleashing a massive golden sword strike towards Melqart.

The sword strike, like a positioning system, roared toward Melqart at incredible speed.

Unlike Arthur's previous strikes, this sword strike, though large in size, lacked the overwhelming power of a towering building.

But it caused Melqart to be covered in a layer of black divine power, and a pair of rough clubs appeared between his hands.

Those were clubs representing 'storm' and 'Thunder'.

'Boom--!'

Melqart raised her right hand, gripping the stick, and slammed it down forcefully against the incoming golden sword.

The club, wreathed in Inazuma, seemed to contain the power of mountains and rivers, and fell heavily to the ground.

That kind of attack, containing terrifying divine power, if Arthur were to unleash 17 strikes, there is no doubt that, apart from the strikes of Great Swordsman, any sword pressure would be instantly shattered.

"Drink—smack!"

But when the golden sword pressure collided with the staff, it caused Melqart to show an expression of strain and let out a thunderous shout. Only then was the dazzling golden sword pressure shattered into a sky full of light.

Arthur's previous strikes had all consumed his vital energy and spirit.

The slash just now was delivered in the form of incantation power.

And it used the Authority of the 'Sun'!

This is the result of Arthur's daily practice in the Reality Marble over the past two weeks.

The Authority 'Sun' not only has an incredible resurrection effect, but also comes with a longbow and arrows. With the Authority's enhancement, one can fire 'arrows that are guaranteed to kill'.

Actually, you can use the Authority of 'Sun' by replacing the bow and arrow with other weapons.

However, other weapons or attacks must be ranged.

'Rumble--'

"Fool, I have sensed your fighting spirit." After shattering Arthur's sword pressure, Melqart began to emanate an incomparably strong black divine power. The sky also darkened due to the god's wrath, and heavy thunderclouds covered the entire island.

Even the sea outside the island became turbulent, with waves crashing against it one after another.

'Click--'

The muffled thunder continued to rumble, then suddenly a clap of thunder rang out.

A massive Inazuma descended from the sky, aiming directly at Arthur.

Avalon--

Arthur unleashed the power of 'Avalon', and his entire body was enveloped in a transparent white light shield.

The Inazuma struck, landing on the transparent white light shield.

However, this Inazuma, which was truly a 'Divine Judgment', didn't even produce a Flower Capital, as if it had been erased by some very special force.

"Absolute defense? And it doesn't exude any aura of Authority. Is it some kind of Divine Artifact?" Melqart said in a deep voice upon seeing the tomb. He raised the staff in his left hand, which was wrapped with a storm dozens of times stronger than the Invisible Air, and smashed it towards Arthur, who was hiding inside the transparent white light shield.

'Thump--'

A sound like striking a gong or drum rang out, and the transparent white light shield finally showed a slight ripple.

It's like a pebble falling into a lake, creating ripples.

In an instant, the transparent white light shield returned to its calm state.

The attack, comparable to a head-on collision with a hurricane, was still ineffective.

Even Melqart was astonished by this sight. "How is this possible?!"

"What a pity, King of the Mediterranean Sea..." Arthur said with a smile, "My power happens to be the perfect counter to yours."

Having already experienced fighting both the "God Slayer" and the "Heretic God," and being familiar with the plot, Arthur naturally wouldn't let Melqart's attack succeed.

The Authority of Thunder and Gale are very singular, but extremely powerful.

Especially considering Melqart's enormous size, the divine power from that attack had spread throughout the entire island and seeped into the sea.

If this weren't a scene with Reality Marble, it would probably have already triggered a terrifying tsunami.

The transparent white light shield had just defended against Melqart's 'Gale' staff and also drained a small amount of Arthur's Mana (cursed power), clearly demonstrating its formidable strength.

However, his singular Authority and enormous size gave Arthur a significant advantage.

Just like when facing Kaido, Arthur's favorite enemies are giants.

With a target this big, there's absolutely no need to worry about not being able to hit it.

"Seven Seals broken--"

With this in mind, Arthur hid inside a transparent white light barrier and raised Excalibur directly in front of Melqart.

In an instant, the ground below, and even the 'storm' and atmosphere brought by Melqart's 'Gale' Authority, were bathed in a golden glow.

This added a touch of exquisite beauty to the world that had become gloomy because of the Kamui.

'Whoosh!'
