"Sir... this is your hidden power!"

At this time, Crusch seemed like he couldn't believe his eyes, staring blankly at White Whale's body that was split into two.

I originally thought it was a tough battle, but I didn't expect that they were really here to be the audience.

Subaru Natsuki silently put away his Susanoo, turned around and looked at a group of stunned people, with a slight smile on his lips.

If he didn't want to see Emilia isolated, to be honest with his current strength, he could have pushed all the way back.

But in the end, he is the only one who is powerful. He wants Emilia to know that even if she is Witch, as long as he is around, all prejudice and disgust will disappear.

"Crusch, as you can see, this is the power I gained from death. It is very powerful! Now do you still mind cooperating with this half-elf Emilia!"

Crusch was flinched by the direct gaze of Subaru Natsuki, because at this moment Subaru Natsuki's eyes were really full of oppression.

After a while, she suppressed the discomfort in her heart.

"Sir, with you as a knight, Emilia still needs us!"

"Of course, the king's appearance always needs flowers to set off, and you happen to be the most beautiful flowers in this country.

Don't mind the directness of my words, this is how you are positioned in my heart now!"

Crusch and Anata instinctively felt a kind of unwillingness in their hearts. Why did they become the foil for the new king.

"Brother, are you too arrogant? Although I admit that you are very powerful, Royal Selection we will never give up!"

At this time, Antana, who had always been pretending to be cute, became extremely serious.

"You can give it a try, after all, I don't mind!"

With the chuckle of Subaru Natsuki.

At this moment, Antana felt insulted. They were looked down upon! But she didn't say anything else.

Because Subaru Natsuki has demonstrated a power that is enough to despise them.

Take a simple rest for a while.

Crusch walked up to Subaru Natsuki.

"Qing, do you still need my troops? With your current strength, I believe there will be no problem even if you go back alone!"

Subaru Natsuki, who was squatting on the ground and looking at the big tree in the distance, slowly stood up.

"Ah! No need, but Mr. Julius and Will must follow me, because they are the best witnesses of my cooperation with you. With them, Emilia will probably believe that this is not my lie!"

Crusch looked stagnant, "Qing! Is it necessary to do this for a person?"

Subaru Natsuki withdrew his distant gaze and looked at Crusch calmly.

"Of course it is necessary, because Emilia is the first light I found in this world.

That Enju is willing to help others even if he has something important to do.

It was because of her kindness that she was the first person to lend a helping hand when I was desperate. At that moment, I made up my mind to help her no matter what, even if it meant crawling out from death!"

Ku Erxiu stared blankly at Subaru Natsuki's firm gaze, feeling mixed emotions for a moment.

"Actually, sir, if I had met you first, I would have helped you too!"

Subaru Natsuki smiled slightly.

"Crusch, do you know the difference between you and Emilia!"

Crusch shook his head.

Subaru Natsuki once again looked at the extremely tall tree in the distance.

"Just like this big Shuichi, if I hadn't demonstrated my ability in advance, a person like me, who looks very ordinary at first glance in the crowd, would not have any communication with you at all.

But Emilia is different. Even though I was beaten up by a few gangsters and was a useless ordinary person, she still used her kind heart to silently warm me!"

"With her and you like this, why should I give up on her!"

Facing Subaru Natsuki's rhetorical question, Crusch was speechless for a moment.

She admitted that she also had a heart of pity for the weak, but she had been outstanding since she was a child and was the only heir to the Duke's Palace. Most of her time was in the spotlight, so she would never go to the dark places of the world.

So she understood that what Subaru Natsuki said was right. If it weren't for her courageous and strategic strange battle at the knight training ground, and the powerful power she showed now, she and Subaru Natsuki would be people in two different worlds.

Looking at Subaru Natsuki's leaving figure, a trace of regret flashed in Crusch's eyes.

"How great it would be if it was me you met for the first time!"

This is the lingering thought in Crusch's heart.

"Let's go! Crusch, it seems that we have another strong competitor. This time Royal Selection is really full of twists and turns!

The half-elf who was originally thought to be the least likely to be competitive has now become the most difficult opponent to defeat!"

At this moment, Antana walked up silently, his face no longer showing the innocence he pretended to have in the past.

"Antana, that's what you think! In fact, it doesn't matter who becomes the Royal Capital of this kingdom. What matters is that he can lead the people of this kingdom out of the current predicament.

If with his help, Emilia can ascend the throne and lead this country to gradually improve, I won't mind being a foil!"

"Haha, Crusch, you are so naive. A half-demon, what ability does it have except good luck? Royal Selection is very important to us Hoshin Company. This is related to the business of the Chamber of Commerce. I will not give up so easily!"

After saying that, the girl turned around and left the place.

On the other side, Subaru Natsuki took the old man Will and Yulius, carrying Otto's Ground Dragon carriage, all the way towards the border Earl leader.

Inside the carriage, the three of them sat facing each other in silence.

The former Sword Master Will has always looked at Subaru Natsuki and never left.

He did not personally avenge his wife during the massacre of White Whale this time, and he always felt depressed and unhappy in his heart.

"Young man, you said that you gained strength from death. I firmly believe that what you said is true, but what kind of death gave you the power that is comparable to the strongest protection today. This fact makes me very curious!"

Subaru Natsuki's slightly closed eyes slowly opened, and he found that since Awakening met Mangekyō, he became more and more like his master, that is, he was very calm about everything.

"Oh! The old man really wants to know, then you want to see it!"

Subaru Natsuki's light words sounded, and Will old man and Julius were both stunned at the same time.

"Okay!"

Will There was a glint in the old man's eyes.

"Of course, except for the most important thing, I can't let you see it. I can let you experience all the pain related to me. When you wake up from those pains, you should understand that none of this is a fluke!"

After saying that, Subaru Natsuki slowly opened his strange eyes and looked at the old man Will.

Will The old man was slightly frightened by Subaru Natsuki's scarlet eyes, but he did not dodge.

Rotating with the strange windmill pattern in Subaru Natsuki's eyes.

Will The old man felt like a whirlpool, suddenly sucking his mind into it.

Then the world became quiet again.

When he reappeared, he was already standing in a dark house. Before he could speak, a sharp sword light cut through his belly.

The pain of death slowly comes, followed by different deaths in turn.

His belly was cut open, his head was chopped off, he was tortured and tortured to death. Each death was so clear that it seemed to him like reality.

That kind of struggle on the verge of death, that kind of weak and helpless unwillingness, gradually made him collapse, suffocate, and want to escape.

Half a moment.

There was a dull breathing sound, and old man Will was panting heavily, with cold sweat pouring from his forehead. He looked in shock at Subaru Natsuki, who was sitting opposite with a calm expression.

The Adam's apple moved unnaturally.

"This... this is the price you pay for gaining strength! I have to admit that you are a truly strong man. If you were me... at this time, I am afraid..."

Will The old man became extremely silent when he said this. His mind was still stuck in the intense despair when he died for the last time.

Although he didn't know exactly what made this dying young man so desperate, he could clearly understand his mood at that time.

It was a kind of numb pain, so numb that even death didn't matter.

Next to him, Julius was lost in thought. He didn't know what Mr. Will saw, but just from the moment he woke up, the look of collapse in his eyes made his heart tremble.
