A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

Seeing the girl's pitiful appearance, Shirou smiled and patted her head.

……

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Shirou left his bedroom, where two maids were already obediently waiting at the door.

"You guys got up earlier than me."

“This is so that we can better serve the ‘King’,” they replied.

"Let's go eat first."

Shirou yawned and followed the two maids to the dining room.

As the capital of Sardinia, the facilities here are quite luxurious, and the breakfast prepared is incredibly lavish.

Erica greeted them as soon as they arrived.

“My lord, the Southern European Magic Society has asked me to give you something.”

"What is it?" Shirou looked at her.

Under Shirou's gaze, Erica then took out a box.

"Inside lies the 'Gorgon Stone,' a symbol of the ancient serpent."

Erica then explained.

"Because the 'Gorgon Stone' contains extremely powerful divine energy, ordinary magicians would be overwhelmed by it and unable to breathe when they see it, which is why it is stored in a special box."

“'The Stone of Gorgon'…”

士郎

He reached out and took the box, opened it, and saw a stone that looked like an obsidian medal, with the image of a Gorgon carved on it.

"Now that I have obtained the 'Gorgon Stone,' it won't be long before the goddess finds me by following the divine power on this stone."

Shirou looked at the 'Gorgon Stone' in his hand and smiled.

Then, he sat down at the table and ate while watching the girls around him teasing each other.

"Lily, were you secretly writing a romance novel again last night?"

"I didn't! Erica, don't talk nonsense!"

With both the King and Princess Alice present, Liliana felt incredibly ashamed and immediately denied it.

Then, Erica gave a sly smile and began to recite aloud.

"The day the heavens fall,"

Summer is a needle, pricking the scars and drawing out the blood that flowed that day.

Uncaring, unimportant, want to forget, want to love.

Every time fresh blood soaks into a dried lie, cracks appear one by one.

Summer is just a harsh reality.

Scratches are carved into the gradually melting illusion.

Summer is the key to connecting broken memories.

Please be surrounded by the glow of fireflies.

Stringing together my love~~~~

Finally, Erica teased Liliana, whose cheeks were turning red with embarrassment, by trailing off her words playfully.

"Aaaaaah, I'll fight you to the death!"

The two beautiful girls immediately started playing around, completely forgetting everything else as they played, which allowed Shirou to see many interesting things, and his eyes kept shining.

"Yes, as expected. Although Lily and Erica are equally good-looking, Lily is still slightly inferior in some aspects."

You're being too frivolous, Lily. Eat more papaya!

Liliana and Erica were already close friends, but in the past, due to the constant competition between their respective magic societies, the Bronze Black Cross and the Copper Black Cross, they rarely had the opportunity to spend time together.

But now that they have both pledged allegiance to Shirou, the two major magic societies to which they belong are no longer able to cause any trouble.

Moreover, Shirou casually wiped out the commander of the "Lily City" right in front of them, which must have left an indelible impression on these commanders who once had all sorts of thoughts.

After breakfast, Shirou, along with the two knight princesses and Princess Alice, traveled by carriage to Olena, the town where the Witch's Mansion was located.

As the luxury car bumped along the somewhat uneven road, a scenic little town came into view after a few hours.

“Olena… I’ve never heard of this godforsaken place before; it’s not even a dot on the map.”

Shirou opened the map in his hand and looked at it with a somewhat blank expression.

“‘Your Majesty,’ it seems that the witch’s dwelling place is over there.”

Alice, dressed in a cool white dress, followed closely beside Shirou, looking at the town ahead and speaking.

Erica and Liliana couldn't help but feel a little resentful seeing Alice always by the "King's" side.

Although they knew about the scabbard, they were still somewhat unhappy.

"Erica, tell me, what exactly happened between Princess Alice and the 'King'?"

Liliana struck up a conversation with Erica out of curiosity.

Erica, however, suddenly remembered what had happened in the sea the day before, and her cheeks gradually turned red, steam rising from her hair.

"Hey? Erica, what's wrong?"

Liliana looked at Erica's expression with curiosity and asked with some doubt.

"No, it's nothing!"

Erica quickly replied, then raised her face and resolutely followed the couple at the front.

The group searched for the location of the 'Witch's Mansion' in the town.

Including Shirou, a handsome man and three beautiful girls appeared in this ordinary town. In the eyes of the passersby, they were like a beautiful sight, attracting a lot of attention.

Although this small town has a population of less than 10,000, it is a town that looks small but is actually fully functional.

All the houses here are exquisite stone buildings. Whether it's shops or hotels, they have no rural style of small town. Instead, they are designed like those of a big city.

Perhaps it's because of its unique features that this town attracts many tourists, boosting its economy and resulting in quite good development.

"Right over there!"

As the most powerful witch in Europe, it was naturally very easy for Princess Alice to find someone. After walking around the town for a short while, she pointed to a medieval-style stone building.

Luculazia Zola's home is near the forest next to the town. It seems that this witch prefers a quiet and elegant place to the bustling city.

Chapter 45 Clues to Two Gods

What comes into view is a mansion with its own unique courtyard; every brick and tile exudes an ancient charm.

Moreover, there were no other houses nearby, giving it a desolate feel.

'The Witch's Mansion', although it is not a very large mansion, is remarkably similar to the name.

Looking around the courtyard, it was overgrown with weeds, indicating that it hadn't been tended to for a long time.

Without wasting any more time, Shirou went over and knocked on the door.

dong dong dong...

There was no response for a long time, and Shirou frowned slightly.

He could sense a very obvious magical reaction inside the room; it was impossible for no one to be there.

"Aren't you going to open the door for me? You're putting on airs, aren't you?"

As Shirou said this, he kicked the door open.

Bang!

The scene inside the door immediately came into view: a black cat appeared in the entrance hall, watching Shirou and the others at the door.

"Meow~"

It barked at Shirou, then turned around and looked back at him, seemingly gesturing for him to follow.

"That's a cat's familiar. It looks like it's telling us to follow it."

Princess Alice said.

"Well, let's go in and take a look."

Shirou was the first to step out and enter the house.

Meanwhile, the two knight princesses, Erica and Liliana, vigilantly observed everything in the room, ready to draw their swords and 'protect' the king without hesitation should any unusual movement occur.

They were led by the black cat to a room that resembled a dormitory.

The room was filled with the smell of herbs and was quite messy. On a classically styled bed, a woman was lying with her back against a pillow.

The cat from before was curled up in a corner of the room, yawning boredly.

"Welcome to my home, Your Majesty King Orihara. I am Luculazia Zola. I am very sorry that I cannot get up to greet you immediately. I have been going through some troubles recently and I am very weak, so I cannot get up."

Wearing only underwear, her listless eyes exuded an incredible charm, and the woman with long, flaxen hair cascading over her shoulders explained to Shirou.

Her age is impossible to estimate from her appearance; she looks like a woman in her early twenties, in the prime of her youth and beauty, with exceptional grace and charm.

Maintaining a youthful body is something only witches who have reached a very high level can do. Princess Alice belongs to this level, while Erica and Liliana are still growing, but they will definitely reach this level in the future.

“I see. Your explanation is reasonable. Now, let’s get straight to the point and tell me about Vereslana and Mekal.”

Luculazia nodded, and then spoke.

"The information I have only tells me that he is a god of war. At first I thought he was a god like 'Mekal', but it seems that he is more than that."

"The god-king worshipped by Semitic peoples such as the Canaanites and Phoenicians... this is Baal. Originally the god of storms, lightning, and the sky, his authority continued to grow, and in the end he possessed many powers. Gods similar to him include Zeus and Odin from the Indo-European language family."

"These kinds of sky gods generally possess many qualities. Supreme gods, kings, gods of wisdom, gods of life, gods of war, gods of the underworld, and so on. Baal is a typical example. It's natural that multifaceted gods have other names, isn't it?... Mekal is the title given to him by people when he was guarding the city of Tyre."

The witch seemed to find the lying position slightly uncomfortable, so she changed her position and lay on her side. She had a great figure, and with her clothes, it was as if she was deliberately exuding a seductive charm.

Having already experienced the pleasures of a goddess, Shirou was now able to remain unfazed by this scene, his gaze never wavering from Lucrezia's pale purple eyes.

"Tyre was a city built by the Phoenicians. It took Alexander a year to conquer it. It was also the home port of the Phoenicians, the ancient rulers of the Mediterranean. They also reached Sardinia and became the rulers of the island."
