After speaking in a fairly calm tone, Su Mo shook his head.

"However, someone like you who can't even handle wide-area super speed is destined to lose in the first round of judgment."

Of all martial arts techniques, none are invincible except speed; this applies to god-slayers as well.

Those who cannot keep up with Su Mo's incredible speed are not even qualified to step onto the battlefield.

Although Tony possesses the Martial Arts Mind's Eye, he can barely handle ordinary lightning-fast attacks.

Under a wide-area offensive of the "Thousand Lights, Thousand Swords" type, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

Furthermore, the Solar Attribute Authority's [Steel Protection], which Tony relies on most, has a special attack. Even if he didn't use the Sword of Victory, he would be instantly killed without any chance of survival.

"I……"

Tony opened his mouth as if to refute.

But seeing his current powerless state, he reluctantly shut his mouth.

Regardless of the circumstances, the fact remains that he was instantly defeated.

Putting aside his own instant defeat, he was still very interested in the judgment mentioned in Su Mo's words.

So, after a few seconds of silence, he couldn't help but speak.

"You just mentioned the first level. Could it be that this so-called Sword of Victory has other conditions for determining the outcome?"

"Of course."

Su Mo nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Depending on the differences in other powers of the link, the judgment conditions will also change, but the general principle remains the same: those who cannot win will be deprived of the right to fight."

"Currently, this spell is called the Sword of Victory (Vareghna). I wonder if it will have a chance to be upgraded to the Radiant Light (khavarenah) after linking more powers."

As is widely known, the seventh incarnation of Vereslana, the phoenix, is named Vareghna, and in the Zoroastrian holy book, the Avesta, this name represents the incarnation of light.

It bestows upon heroes and emperors the "aura of kings," granting them the power to overcome all darkness and evil.

The source of all this spiritual light is the supreme benevolent god Ahura.

It was He who ordained the destiny that good would triumph over evil.

As for this aura, it is called khavarenah in the Avesta language.

If obtained by a hero or emperor, it is called the "Radiance of Kings"; but if taken by an evil god or demon, it will take another name—

The aura of a hegemon, or perhaps, the halo of a hegemon.

045 Entering the Type-Moon World

No one present understood Su Mo's last words.

Even Erica and Rin Tohsaka did not understand the meaning behind these two titles.

However, Su Mo did not offer an explanation for this.

Everything that needed to be said has been said; for them, anything else is still too advanced.

and so--

"laugh!"

Su Mo casually plunged several golden swords into Tony's chest and abdomen, sealing his powers a second time.

Then, he casually crafted a blood-red chain, binding his body tightly, completely silencing even his magical power.

Even the body of a god-slayer would be absolutely unable to break free under such circumstances.

Finally, he turned to look at Erica.

“Send him to the underground prison.”

"……Yes!"

After a moment of surprise, Erica immediately nodded.

Erica was already aware of Su Mo's plans and wasn't surprised, but Tony, the Sword King, who was the one being bound, was very puzzled.

Sensing something was wrong, he shuddered and then desperately raised his head.

"Hey! My dear friend, I think I just heard something about an underground prison. You're not kidding me, are you?"

He stared at Su Mo's eyes with a hint of panic, desperately hoping that his fantasy could come true.

Unfortunately--

"Of course my lord wouldn't joke with you!"

Erica shook her head, then offered some kind advice.

"Don't worry, as a precious experimental subject, as long as you actively cooperate with Lord Su Mo's experiments, Lord Su Mo will not harm your life... probably."

Erica may have meant well, but upon hearing this, Tony's face turned green instantly.

"Experimental subject?"

Even he knew that experimental subjects seemed to have no human rights.

Not to mention, Erica's uncertain tone was too alarming.

What do you mean by "probably"? Can matters involving life and death be handled so carelessly?

"It was just a challenge, why be so cruel? And I haven't even started fighting yet! We're all fellow Godslayers, this is going too far!"

Even Marquis Voban and Cult Leader Luo Hao weren't this ruthless; at most, they were only beaten half to death.

Upon hearing Tony's accusations, Erica revealed a sly smile.

She pointed to the crack that ran between the earth and the sea not far away and casually made up an excuse.

“They have come to my Lord’s territory on their own initiative and caused such damage to my Lord’s land. How can they not be punished?”

This reason seems quite convincing at first glance.

Those who initiate provocation should not seem to have any complaints, no matter what kind of retaliation they receive.

but--

"If I remember correctly, Italy is a territory under my rule, isn't it?"

Tony said with a deep, melancholy look in his eyes.

The expression on his face, translated, means—"Do you really think I'm stupid?"

"Ah this!"

Erica then realized that this guy was indeed the nominal leader of the Southern European Magic Society.

Therefore, from another perspective, this conflict was not a case of the Sword King provoking the new king, but rather the new king seizing the Sword King's territory.

From this perspective, they seem to be the ones who are in the wrong.

Seeing Erica's discomfiture, Su Mo casually added a comment.

"No matter what, the victor has the right to dispose of his or her spoils, right?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Tony immediately fell silent.

He agreed more with the warrior's logic than with the king's, and Su Mo's words were irrefutable to him.

Several minutes later, the other members of the Copper Black Cross finally arrived at the battlefield.

All the magicians were dumbfounded, seeing their leader, the Sword King, bound hand and foot and powerless to resist, and the new king calmly watching the waves.

In such a short time, before they even had a chance to evacuate the civilians, the battle was already over?

Moreover, the one who was defeated was actually the Sword King, who was a senior?

Judging from the traces of the battlefield, apart from that sword mark, there were no signs of conflict, and it was highly likely that there wasn't even a prolonged fight.

What's going on? Has the new king become this powerful?

Even Marquis Voban couldn't have achieved such a swift victory against the King of Swords!

In their fear and shock, after hesitating for a few seconds, they still chose to obey Erica's orders, dragging their former leader, the Sword King, to the underground prison that had been cleared out earlier, just like dragging a pig to be slaughtered.

Anyway, the Sword King hadn't done them any favors before, so being replaced by the new king made no difference to them.

It's nothing more than switching allegiance to the new king.

With Erica acting as a bridge, they don't need to worry too much.

Just in case, Erica accompanied the vehicle, escorting the first test subject, the Sword King, to the underground prison.

Su Mo, however, did not leave.

As agreed, after resolving this minor issue, he needed to make a trip to the Type-Moon world.

[Rin Tohsaka: "Lord Sumo, I'm ready!"]

Rin Tohsaka: "Are you coming now?"

Su Mo: "Okay."

After a brief exchange, Rin Tohsaka gritted her teeth and used most of her accumulated points to extend an invitation to Su Mo.

Su Mo quickly responded to the invitation.

The live stream quickly switched to the Type-Moon universe.
