God's Knights Mobilize! (Continued)
However, it's still impossible to fight back against that guy.
So all I could do was obediently do as he said.
Enel strolled around the castle for a while, seeing a large number of huge skeletons and huge battle marks etched on the castle walls.
It's obvious at a glance that a fierce battle once took place here.
But Enel didn't care about any of this, or rather, he didn't care about most things in this world; he only wanted to reach the moon.
Enel quickly stopped in the throne room; this was his target.
A huge magic circle was carved into the floor beneath the somewhat dilapidated throne.
Is this it?
Enel's lips twitched slightly. "I've really had enough."
With a gentle tap of his finger, lightning crackled at his fingertip, and the leaping thunder transformed into a coiling, ascending lightning dragon.
After circling once in the sky, the Thunder Dragon suddenly turned around and crashed headfirst into the magic array.
Boom!
The hard ground was instantly blasted to pieces, with lightning flashing and debris flying everywhere.
When the dust settled, all that remained before Enel's eyes was a large crater several meters deep. The magic circle had completely vanished without a trace.
"That's all taken care of, so next is—"
Enel muttered to himself, his ears twitching almost imperceptibly, "They've already arrived? Then I'll wait for them here."
As he spoke, his body transformed into lightning and landed directly on the throne atop the steps.
The throne was far too enormous for Enel, but that didn't stop him from stretching out his legs and leaning against the back of the throne, lost in thought.
However, Enel didn't have to wait long before a figure leaped in through the hall's doors.
The white-haired old man holding two axes had a somewhat serious expression.
The moment he landed, his eyes were already locked on the figure sitting on the throne.
Of course, the large crater beneath the throne also made him frown slightly. If he remembered correctly, there used to be a huge magic array here, right?
"Hey, young man,"
Skobard Gaban, who had been living in seclusion here, raised an eyebrow. "Can you answer this old man's question? Why are you here?"
"Uncle, I'll decide how to handle you based on your answer."
Enel lazily raised his eyelids, his lifeless eyes glancing at the old man.
"Gaban, right?"
"Um?"
Gaban couldn't help but feel a little surprised. "You're not trying to say you came here specifically to see me, are you?"
"That's true, but I have absolutely no interest in you or anything here."
Enel said lazily, "That Night King sent me to destroy the magic circle here, and then to pass on a message to you."
"Um?"
Gaban pushed up his small sunglasses. "Wait a minute, I'm a little confused. Let's take it one step at a time. First, who are you? And who is this Night King you're talking about? And why did you destroy the magic circle here?"
"Um?"
Enel frowned in disdain. "How foolish. You've been doing business for so long, yet you don't even know who you're dealing with?"
"Who do you think you gave those wild beasts to?"
"Um?"
Gaban was slightly taken aback.
Elbaf did indeed make a deal with someone, and it is true that he would capture monsters from the Underworld and send them there every now and then.
"Are you World's men?"
Gaban subconsciously thought so.
"World? Does that piece of trash even deserve it?"
Enel snorted. "Listen up, Skebba Gaban, the Night King sent me to tell you that he and Loki have liberated the Great Hammer Pirates."
"That King of the World might take notice of Elbaf because of this."
Even though the teleportation array has been destroyed, the World Government is unlikely to let this go, especially if Loki cannot be found.
"The Night King wants you to be prepared."
"..."
Gaban was instantly speechless.
Huh?
Eh!!
Wasn't there a lot of information in just a few words from this guy?
What do you mean by "World is a piece of trash"?
And what's with Loki? Why is that Night King involved with Loki?
Also, the Great Hammer Pirates?
Is it the Great Hammer Pirates that Jarul and Harald mentioned? Is it the Great Hammer Pirates that Joy Boy mentioned in his comments?
Finally, what is the meaning of the teleportation array? And why did the King of the World take notice of Elbaf?
Gaban had far too many questions in his mind.
But.
"Alright, I've already said what I wanted to say."
Enel glanced at Gaban one last time before his body vanished in an instant, turning into Inazuma.
He didn't actually want to go back so soon.
But there was nothing he could do; Enel was just too busy.
Enel will have to test everyone who is pulled into the Dream World to see if they are a spy for the World Government.
He's sick of hearing other people's inner thoughts every day.
The Night King's bastards really didn't treat him like a human being.
But as I said before, there's nothing we can do; there's no way to fight back against him.
So Gaban could only watch helplessly as the bolt of lightning pierced through the wall and disappeared.
"Hello!!"
He belatedly exclaimed in surprise, "Young man! Don't be in such a hurry to leave!"
He still had too many questions.
Unfortunately, his voice couldn't keep up with the thunder at all.
Gaban could only remain there, somewhat bewildered.
So, what should we do now?
Was that guy telling the truth or lying?
Gaban let out a slow sigh of relief.
In short, let's talk to Jarul first.
Almost simultaneously, Mary Geoise.
Two figures dressed in splendid military uniforms are making their way forward on the automated road characteristic of Mary Geoise.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to come all out this time, Gunko."
The speaker was a man with long, curly, orange-yellow hair and a sword at his waist.
Beside him stood a woman wearing a black military cap, a gorgeous military uniform top with a short skirt, beautiful long blue hair, and the lower half of her face covered by bandages.
The woman named Gunko said calmly, "Because Yu Da has already made up his mind."
"Hahaha! Could it be that Yu Da was really scared?"
The orange-haired man chuckled softly, "Heh heh, Nidhogg? The Great Hammer Pirates? They're just old fogies! What's so scary about them!"
Saint Shepherd Sommers,
Gunko frowned slightly. "You should watch your words."
"Haha, sorry, sorry,"
Saint Shepherd Sommers smiled and apologized repeatedly, appearing quite polite. "But, Elbaf, that place must be really far away, right?"
"Those stupid giants are such a pain! Why didn't they destroy the teleportation array earlier, but waited until now? Isn't that just blatantly telling us they're up to something? And to make matters worse, I was chosen by the Imperial Selection! How infuriating!"
"What exactly happened?"
Gunko said calmly, "Once we get to Elbaf, everything will be clear."
God's Knights, Shepard Saint Shepherd Sommers, Manmaia Saint Gunko, Attack!
A certain sea area in the foreground of the New World.
The enormous ship gradually sailed away from a deserted island.
However, at this moment, the extravagantly large ship was inevitably somewhat crowded.
After all, there are now more than twenty enormous giants on the deck.
The giants who had originally sailed with Loki were also staring in shock at these ancient ancestors.
Are they the legendary Great Hammer Pirates?
The old popsicles, who had just awakened from their eight-hundred-year slumber, were quite at ease, looking around and touching everything on the ship with great interest.
Then, based on his seniority, he made an evaluation.
"The ships of this era don't seem that great either."
"That's right, it doesn't even compare to the ships of our time."
"Has Elbaf's shipbuilding technology Return to this level?"
Meanwhile, on the bow of the enormous seagoing vessel.
Loki, now back in human form, gazed up at the figure floating in the sky.
"Are you sure the teleportation array in Elbaf has been destroyed?"
"Of course I have no reason to lie to you."
Naito chuckled. "My men also gave Gaban a heads-up, warning him to be on his guard."
