ㅤ
Anila was facing Three, one of the thirteen apostles.
Three has obtained power through a pact with the Demon King and is a Guardian.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Even facing a formidable opponent, Anila remains unfazed.
Crossing her arms, she looked down on her opponent and spoke.
ㅤ
“What’s the matter? Not going to attack?”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Anila takes on a confident demeanor.
On the other hand, a bead of sweat trickles down Three’s forehead.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Three understands.
The Dragon Demon King before him is an extraordinary monster.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“To command such a dragon. . . . . .The Holy Demon King, truly a fearsome entity. . . . . .”
“What’s up, not coming? Well then. . . . . .you’ll just become charcoal.”
“?!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Three’s eyes widen, and his body tenses up.
Anila had closed the distance in an instant, appearing within Three’s range.
ㅤ
ㅤ
They had been a good distance apart.
Yet Anila silently closed that gap.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Anila places her palm against Three’s abdomen.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Explode.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. . . . . .!!!
A tremendous explosion spreads all around.
ㅤ
ㅤ
It’s a magical attack by Anila.
And it was delivered at point-blank range.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Normally, he would be turned to ash. . . . . .
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Tch. . . . . .using strange powers, huh.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
However, Three is standing at a distance from Anila.
He smiles, but beads of sweat appear on his forehead.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Ah. . . . . .indeed, Tyrant Dragon, your firepower is extraordinary.”
“It’s been a while since someone survived the first attack. You’re pretty good.”
“I am honored by your praise. However, the power was not mine, but a gift from Ouma-sama through the King Sword.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Watching the exchange, Medusa tilts her head.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“. . . . . .King Sword?”
“It’s a weapon with special powers you can acquire by forming a pact with the Demon King.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
A small dagger is held in Three’s hand.
Anila assumes he dodged the attack using the dagger’s ability.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“I guess it has abilities like changing its weight.”
“Your observation is correct. This is the Gravity Sword: Sinker.”
“Hmm. . . . . .”
ㅤ
ㅤ
While Anila seems suspicious, Medusa asks,
ㅤ
ㅤ
“. . . . . .It has a name?”
“Exactly, each King Sword has a unique name. The properties are in the first part, and the name is in the second.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
However, Anila frowns in displeasure.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Are you mocking me?”
ㅤ
ㅤ
At that single phrase, Three gasps and replies in admiration,
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Truly, your eyes see much.”
“Hmph. . . . . .! Fine. If you’re up for it, let’s fight on the same footing. 『Come forth』.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Anila extends her right hand.
And then, the space distorts, and from there. . . . . .
ㅤ
ㅤ
“! AKing Sword. . . . . .! Anila, you have one too? Even though you’re a Demon King?”
ㅤ
ㅤ
In Anila’s hand is a greatsword as tall as she is.
Its crimson blade shines beautifully, as if it were aflame.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“This is the King Sword I acquired upon becoming Kyrie’s Guardian. Its name is Dragon King Sword: Jaw.”
“Dragon King Sword. . . . . .Jaw. A contract with Kyrie?”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Anila effortlessly lifts the Dragon King Sword and slings it over her shoulder.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“All of us in the Holy Zodiac are Guardians of Kyrie.”
“! What about me?”
“Yes, that’s why you can also use a King Sword if you train for it.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Anila approaches Three, Dragon King Sword in hand.
Three swings his Gravity Sword sideways.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Anila’s body sinks, but she continues to walk forward, unhindered.
As if she were a true king.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“I won’t use the power of the Demon King. I’ll fight with just the power of this Dragon King Sword, just like you.”
“Hehe. . . . . .an honor.”
“Don’t get cocky. You’re up against me, after all.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Medusa couldn’t keep up with Anila’s conversation.
But she did understand that Anila was angry.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Gravity. . . . . .20 times!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Threen swings his Gravity Sword.
Anila’s body sinks even further into the ground.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Anila. . . . . .!”
“Hmph. . . . . .trivial.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Anila holds the Dragon King Sword and swings it.
That was it.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Zubaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
ㅤ
ㅤ
. . . . . .Anila’s single strike tore the earth asunder.
The area was just a plain.
ㅤ
However, her single strike forcefully tore away the ground. . . . . .
And there, a large cliff stretched vertically.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Anila’s released slash was so powerful, it tore apart the earth between them like pudding.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Marvelous.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Three’s body was cut cleanly in half.
Yet, he still had the composure to smile.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“I never thought you’d break through a 20 times Gravity Sword without even using the power of the Demon King or the ability of the King Sword.”
“Hmph! You’re no different from me. Next time, come at me for real. I’ll crush you.”
“Hahaha, I’d rather you spared me that.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
With a light “pop,” Three disappeared.
A paper doll floats down to where he had been standing.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Medusa picks it up as she approaches.
She looks at the paper doll that had been cut in half and mutters. . . . . .
ㅤ
ㅤ
“What is. . . . . .this?”
“A decoy.”
“A decoy. . . . . .?”
“Yes, it’s also called a Shikigami. The real body is likely somewhere else.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
In other words, the Three from earlier was a clone, and the real one was remotely controlling him from somewhere else.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“That guy. . . . . .irritates me. I’ll defeat him next time.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
In any case, it was 3-0 in favor of Kyrie in the attack by the 13 Apostles.
