"God Slayer?"
Hearing Erica's murmur beside him, Kusanagi Godou could not help repeating it in confusion.
Then, for no apparent reason, his chest ached, as though he had lost something important.
But when he lowered his head, he discovered that some sort of power from the strange stone tablet seemed to be flowing into his body, leaving him feeling oddly uncomfortable.
"A God Slayer is a Demon King who slays gods and steals their Authorities. They are immune to most human magic, beings mortals cannot defeat—those who have slain gods."
Erica had more or less figured out that Kusanagi Godou was an ordinary person who had accidentally obtained a grimoire. However, since he had been with Xu Yue earlier and she could not determine their relationship, she still explained it to him.
Hearing Erica's words, Kusanagi Godou felt his worldview collapse.
He then looked up at Erica's graceful figure and lovely face, unable to help becoming slightly dazed.
"I didn't expect to succeed either. In this world, the birth of a God Slayer cannot be carefully planned. Every one of them is born from 'coincidence.'"
Xu Yue, who had thoroughly devoured Verethragna, now came before the two of them with a heartwarming smile.
God Slayers indeed had the unseen restrictions Xu Yue spoke of, but unfortunately, those restrictions were utterly useless against him.
Having deciphered the Book of Prometheus, he had simply fiddled with it a little and taken it for himself.
"Honored New King, Erica Blandelli, Great Knight of the Bronze Black Cross, congratulates you on successfully slaying a god and becoming the seventh King."
When Erica saw Xu Yue approach, she respectfully lowered her head, holding her sword as she performed a knight's salute.
"Come to think of it, I have you to thank for my successful godslaying.
