Its Name Is Excalibur / If You Dare Take It, Just Try
"Why? Of course, it's to start a war." Kokabiel said with a maniacal laugh, making no attempt to hide his purpose, but the ferocity in his crimson eyes deepened.
He glanced at Xenovia and Irina Shidou over at the stadium and said with dissatisfaction, "I just didn't expect that after I seized the 'Holy Sword Excalibur,' Michael would only send two weaklings. I was actually waiting for him to come in person, which makes me deeply unhappy."
"But it doesn't matter. Since Michael isn't coming, as long as we capture the next head of the Gremory family, I'm sure Sirzechs, who will inherit the title of Lucifer, will definitely come." Kokabiel laughed loudly at this point, "Then we can kill you and the Holy Sword Master, and completely dismantle the already delicate relationship between the three forces."
"... You warmonger!"
Rias was stunned by Kokabiel's crazy remarks, and after a long while, she gritted her teeth and gave this evaluation.
"It's better to dream at night..."
At this moment, Arthur, who had broken the "Little Holy Sword," walked around Rias and stood in front of her, looking up at Kokabiel with a calm gaze, and said indifferently, "Daydreaming is too ridiculous, just like a clown!"
(PS: There won't be a break, there will be more at midnight! I'll write one more chapter before I go to sleep!)
Chapter 418 is named: excalibur
(Sorry for the late update! I went out for a late-night snack, then took a shower and hung up the laundry, and it was already past 2 AM!)
"Kid, who are you?"
Arthur's voice successfully drew Kokabiel's attention to him. Looking at his pure white knight's uniform, a flicker of confusion crossed his blood-red eyes, before he exclaimed in realization, "A knight?! Oh... I remember now, you're the human who possessed one of the thirteen 'Longinus' and became Rias Gremory's husband."
"Are you an accomplice sent by Rias Gremory?" Kokabiel grinned maliciously, arrogantly declaring, "In that case, before we act, let me witness your bizarre sword, which is no less powerful than the thirteen 'Longinus'! Descendant of King Arthur!"
Just as Rias said, Arthur defeated Riesel Phoenix in the "Rating Game" and is now Rias's rightful fiancé.
This news had already spread throughout the Demon World and was also spreading to the outside world.
Although it wasn't widely publicized, some people from all three factions were aware of it.
Kokabiel, who had set his sights on Rias and the town she ruled, was naturally aware of this recent event.
Arthur ignored Kokabiel and his words, instead taking his hands out of his pockets and whispering something as if chanting:
"--I am the strongest, to seize all victories. Man and demon, fallen angels and gods—all enemies, I will defeat all those who harbor hostility. Therefore, I will break through all obstacles in my path! So world, turn for me, open the battlefield of great achievements, and present the victory that is within reach!--"
'Swish--'
As the arrogant and contemptuous words fell, ripples suddenly spread across the surrounding space, transforming into concentric circles of water-like waves that rippled outwards.
Like water splashing on a mirror-like lake, endless golden light surges forth.
Golden light spread across the ground, and the playground instantly transformed into a golden expanse at a visible speed.
Golden light swept across the sky, maintaining the barrier that shimmered with multicolored light, transforming the sky into a starry expanse.
The air turned into a golden glow, spreading like mist.
The buildings of the Kuoh Academy have disappeared, replaced by rows of rocks of varying heights rising from the ground.
A mythical, dreamlike, epic battlefield has been presented.
"This... this is..."
This scene is incredibly moving no matter how many times I see it.
However, compared to Rias and the other girls who had seen it many times before, Xenovia, Irina Shidou Sona Sitri in the crossfire, were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene and method for the first time.
Even though Sona Sitri a blank expression throughout, she no longer had that sense of peace.
"An alternate dimension!" Even the well-informed Kokabiel's pupils constricted, his blood-red eyes fixed on Arthur with a grave expression. He said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect you to possess such a method. Is it some kind of spatial Divine Artifact?"
'Swish--'
Arthur simply ignored him and reached out to grab at the air beside him.
A wisp of golden light, permeating the entire world, was drawn to Arthur's hand as if by a magnet, transforming into a magnificent Golden Sword.
It was a King’s Way Straight Sword with a bladed scabbard.
From this sword, one can clearly sense its incomparably noble and kingly aura, radiating a sacred light that makes Rias and the other girls tremble with fear.
This is also a holy sword aimed at all evil.
"Could it be..." Looking at the magnificent King's Sword of kings in Arthur's hand, Rias and the other girls couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Impossible, this aura..."
At that moment, Kokabiel roared in disbelief from the sky, "The Holy Sword Excalibur was broken in the great war of the past, and you broke its fragments as well! How could you possibly possess the complete Holy Sword Excalibur?!"
"It really is the 'Holy Sword Excalibur'! How did he obtain it?" Rias and the other girls were even more shocked after hearing Kokabiel's words.
"Have you seen the 'Holy Sword Excalibur' before it was shattered? How are you so sure?!" Arthur finally acknowledged Kokabiel, Excalibur in his hand, and asked with great interest.
"The aura and inscription of the Holy Sword are unmistakable," Kokabiel replied directly. "I almost mistook it for the strongest 'Holy King Sword' on Earth, but that sword doesn't possess the divine power of the 'Holy Sword Excalibur'."
The "Holy Sword Excalibur" in your hand is undoubtedly complete.
After he finished speaking, Kokabiel's tone was filled with deep shock.
"Thank you for your answer. In return, Arthur raised Excalibur, now gripping the hilt with both hands, and chuckled, 'Let me show you the power of Excalibur!'"
'Seven Seals lifted--'
Endless radiance surged forth, quickly forming a golden pillar of light that shot into the sky from Arthur's body.
His pure white knight's uniform transformed into a pale silver armor amidst a burst of white light, along with a dark blue long robe and cloak.
The dashing knight has transformed into King of Knights exuding regal aura.
At that moment, the light was so dazzling.
Those girls, including Rias, who were closest to the scene, had their beautiful eyes sparkling with a strange light. They felt as if they had been struck a heavy blow to their hearts, and a feeling of suffocation welled up in their hearts.
This is both being moved and being intimidated by the attributes.
Meanwhile, the Sona Sitri family and others who were watching from afar felt their worldview had been completely shattered after descending from the "Victory's Golden World," and remained in a daze.
Only Sona Sitri, constantly adjusting her glasses, her beautiful purple eyes half-closed, gazed intently at Arthur's retreating figure.
The seal was broken as smoothly as flowing water (Nuo Li Zhao), and immense magical Mana was transferred into the sword.
'Snap--'
The bladed scabbard that was sheathed on the sword fell away in a flash of light with a crisp sound.
The golden blade of the holy sword is thus revealed.
A divine power, like a storm, swept across the entire golden world.
"Not good!"
This process happened in just a few seconds, giving the shocked people no time to react.
As Kokabiel came to his senses and showed surprise, Arthur below had already raised Excalibur high.
The young king, clad in azure-silver armor, exuded a holy and noble aura, seemingly born to oppose evil and dispel darkness with his light. Yet, he did not evoke any disgust in Rias and the other girls; instead, he radiated an incomparably warm and sacred light.
A clear, cold voice proclaimed the name of the Holy Sword.
Its name is:
"--Excalibur!"
Chapter 419 If you dare to steal it, then try it!
"--Excalibur."
As the True Name Release of the King's Sword was revealed, a dazzling golden light illuminated the entire world.
Transforming Mana into divine power, possessing indestructible cutting power and high-temperature energy that can evaporate everything, the resulting Golden Torrent roars out like a beam of light.
The battlefield, already bathed in golden light under the starry sky, now resembled a world illuminated by golden radiance.
A holy light specifically designed to suppress evil, a roar of rage.
Golden Torrent, like a waterfall, shot into the sky like a thick pillar of light, engulfing Kokabiel at an angle.
It moved so fast that it gave them no chance to react at all.
The Golden Torrent is like a horizon connecting to the starry sky, and the golden traces seem to divide the world into two parts.
Wherever it passed, even space itself rippled violently, as if it couldn't withstand the intense heat that evaporated everything, and was just a little stronger than it would have torn apart.
This waterfall-like golden streak lasted for a long time before finally disappearing.
Those who witnessed this scene seemed to be trapped in a dream.
027 This 'Excalibur' that breaks the Seven Seals is definitely Arthur's strongest release ever.
It was more powerful than unleashing the Seven Seals in the God Slayer world, because he wasn't strong enough at that time.
Now, Arthur did it all at once, breaking Seven Seals in just a few seconds.
The Mana (cursed power) poured into the sword has reached its bottleneck, and it is only a little short of breaking the Eight Seals.
The power of the Excalibur, which breaks Seven Seals or more, differs drastically from that of the Excalibur, which breaks fewer seals.
With its power approaching the Eight Seals, 'Excalibur' is truly at the level of a city-wide attack.
If this were to be used in reality, there is no doubt that it would cause immense damage to Kuoh Town.
Faced with this Golden Torrent, Kokabiel was struck head-on and undoubtedly suffered great damage.
To Arthur's slight surprise, Kokabiel did not perish despite being engulfed by the Golden Torrent.
When the golden ribbon that flowed like a waterfall completely dissipated, Kokabiel was left in a terrible state.
His long black hair had been turned into an afro, and his face and body, which exuded a sinister aura, were covered with numerous burns, some spurting blood, others forming large or small blood blisters.
However, the most tragic thing was his ten black wings, seven of which were already broken off.
The remaining three, like roasted chicken wings, gleamed with a faint magical Mana.
At this moment, Kokabiel's aura was weaker than ever before, and he could barely maintain his floating state.
As expected of Fallen Angels of Demon King level!
The reason why the "Holy Sword Excalibur" is famous throughout the world is entirely due to its sacred attributes; it inherently possesses a divine power to restrain evil.
Regardless of which world the "Holy Sword Excalibur" comes from, its shape and abilities may differ, but its sacred power remains an unchanging characteristic.
Arthur's Excalibur was also created to fight against evil.
With the blessing of divine attributes, 'Excalibur' not only possesses the indestructible cutting and vaporizing power of high temperatures, but also poses a deadly threat to demons.
Among the three forces of angels, Fallen Angels, and demons, 'Excalibur' may be greatly weakened against angels, but it will be enhanced or even doubled against Fallen Angels and demons.
Even Fallen Angels, who also wield the power of light, are no exception.
Needless to say, demons are another story!
The fact that Kokabiel was able to survive against the type-advantageous 'Excalibur' is already commendable.
At the same time, it also gave Arthur a general analysis.
(bief) Excalibur, having broken the Seven Seals, can severely injure a ten-winged Fallen Angels. So, if it hits head-on, it should be able to kill an ordinary Demon King lord without the opponent's resistance.
With the Eight Seals broken, 'Excalibur' is undoubtedly capable of killing ordinary Demon King -level powerhouses.
In other words, to harm a master of the Transcendent level, at least nine or ten seals would need to be broken?
And this is all predicated on the opponent offering no resistance and being hit head-on!
Thinking of this, Arthur's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Damn it, that damned 'Holy Sword Excalibur'..." At this moment, Kokabiel's resentful roar brought Arthur back to his senses.
All that could be seen in the sky above was a pitiful Kokabiel, his entire body radiating Mana.
The Mana seemed to uncontrollably transform into mist, overflowing from his wound.
These are all due to the divine power that has seeped into his body!
