My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

"It was him!" someone recognized Kouta.

"It's that guy from before. He must be jealous of the Hero, so..."

"Be careful what you say..."

"Guards! Seize him and kill him!" King Middleton ordered, eager to end the scandal quickly.

"Wait a minute!" Shimogaki Seiichi interrupted unexpectedly.

“My lord, you won’t forgive him even like this, will you?” His Majesty the King asked.

"No." Shimogaki Seiichi slowly stood up. "I killed him myself. It was all because of my momentary soft-heartedness that this happened. It's all my fault, and I must take responsibility for my mistakes!"

Shimogaki Seiichi felt incredibly guilty. It was all his fault for being soft-hearted and letting this person go, which led to Princess Christine's tragedy.

It's all his fault.

Shimogaki Seiichi raised his eyes, his icy gaze murderous.

The surrounding nobles did not stop him, but waited for Kouta to be killed.

After speaking, Shimogaki Seiichi burst forth with light, ready to fight. Although he only possessed the strength of a Great Knight, with the blessing of countless skills and protections, he had already reached the threshold of a Sky Knight.

"I let you go before because I felt a bit of kindness towards you, but why wouldn't you even spare such a gentle girl? Why? Why did you do this? It's all my fault, so scum like you should just die." The hero, Shimogaki Seiichi, raised his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent, staring directly at Kouta.

"Do you have any final words of repentance to say?"

"Heh~ Hahaha..." Kouta laughed out loud, "You guys, and you guys, especially you, the hero? Hahaha, I'm so scared!"

Hey, what makes you think you can talk to me so arrogantly?

Just because you're some kind of hero?

Or is it with your ant-like strength?

If that's the case, then come at me with all your might!

Kouta knew he couldn't defend himself in this situation, but he didn't want to explain, nor was there any need to.

Because Hui was by his side, he became very good-tempered.

But these scumbags seem to have mistaken his politeness for weakness; in that case, let's kill them all.

These days, he's been able to choose two Noble Phantasms every day, to the point that he himself doesn't even know how strong he really is.

However, destroying this country would be easy...

Chapter 512 Slash

The other nobles around shook their heads: "Are they crazy?"

Seiichi Shimogaki looked at Kouta with pity: "Are these your last words?"

He still didn't take Kouta's words seriously. He was a hero, the savior chosen by the goddess. What was there to care about a mere native from another world who wasn't even a knight?

"Die! After you die, remember to repent for your sins in hell!"

After he finished speaking, he let out a loud shout.

The surrounding space distorted, and immense power erupted from his body. Countless rays of light swirled around him, all of which were skills and buffs, frantically stacking layer upon layer of buffs on him.

Such as: [Strength Boost], [Speed ​​Boost], [Body Enhancement], [Instant Step], [Wind Resistance Elimination], [Muscle Strength Enhancement], [Gravity Reduction], [High-Level All-Attribute Enhancement], [Freedom], [Skeletal Enhancement], [Dream], [Dynamic Vision], [High-Level Luck]...

boom!

The ground beneath his feet shattered instantly, creating a crater about five meters in diameter. The air seemed to solidify in an instant, then was pulverized by his impact!

Jelly-like fragments of air were squeezed and flung away, producing a deafening roar, like the abyss howling.

Riding on this immense recoil, Seiichi Shimogaki broke the sound barrier in an instant, and left it behind in less than a second...

His terrifying aura and power shook the heavens and the earth. His figure vanished from the spot in an instant, and most people around could only see a streak of light, a streak of multicolored light.

Only a very few people could clearly see Shimogaki Seiichi's actions, such as Harold, the principal of the Royal Knight Academy and a Sky Knight, as well as the other two Sky Knights of the Kingdom of Altona: Odis, who had the effeminate noble air, and the white-bearded old man Ashburn.

They exclaimed in surprise: "That speed and power... is that a Sky Knight?!"

"Ah, that's right, you have indeed reached the threshold of becoming a Sky Knight."

Hearing the discussion among the sky knights, the surrounding nobles erupted in disbelief:

"What? A Sky Knight?"

"The hero is already a Sky Knight?"

"Lord Harold, you can't be mistaken, can you?"

"No, Lord Harold means that the Hero already possesses the combat power of a Sky Knight."

"As expected of the hero."

Despite the disbelief, no one doubted it since the Sky Knight had spoken.

Sky Knights represent a transcendent realm beyond Great Knights and Earth Knights.

Such powerful individuals possess terrifying force equivalent to tens of tons with a simple sword swing, achieve speeds two to three times the speed of sound, and have lifespans that span seven or eight hundred years.

A fighter of this caliber can move through the sky simply by stepping on the air, hence the name Sky Knight.

There are only three in the entire Kingdom of Altona.

These three are all pillars of the kingdom, and His Majesty the King must treat them with the utmost respect.

The hero, summoned less than a month ago, already possessed the combat power of a Sky Knight, which was simply astonishing.

As expected of a hero!

Princess Christine watched this scene out of the corner of her eye, her eyes sparkling with love and longing.

Only such an extraordinary and valiant hero could be the ideal husband in her heart.

Among the crowd, the five most beautiful women on the continent standing beside the hero were not very surprised to see this scene, as they were clearly already aware of the hero's power.

Behind them, Afra and Louisa watched the hero display his might with fear in their eyes.

They have successfully infiltrated the hero's inner circle by disguising themselves as pitiful girls being auctioned off.

However, after infiltrating, they were unable to find an opportunity to strike because of the five vile women's vigilance.

Meanwhile, in the shadows of a grove of trees several hundred meters away.

Hume's body blended perfectly into the shadows as he watched from afar as the hero unleashed terrifying power in an instant, filled with dread.

"How terrifying! The hero hasn't even broken through to the Great Knight level yet, but he already has the combat power of a Sky Knight!"

"Hey, Demon King, do you really think we can go against someone like this?"

Hume's voice was filled with fear.

However, the Demon King scoffed, "Heh~, why not? Knights and heroes, their power doesn't involve magic at all. Such power is just a mirage."

Hume didn't answer; he seemed to have gotten used to this demon king who talked nonsense.

No one paid any attention to Kouta, because in their minds, he was doomed, and even if he had awakened divine blood, it would be useless.

Who would care about a dead person?

He could almost see the bloody scene of Kouta being torn to pieces.

on site.

A large crater appeared beneath Shimogaki Seiichi's feet, and he charged towards Kouta like a cannonball, appearing in front of Kouta in less than an instant. At the same time, he clenched his right fist and punched at Kouta!

The fist strikes like lightning, tearing through the air with a flash of speed, emitting a piercing shriek, like the song of a nightingale.

However, just as Shimogaki Seiichi had turned his head away, not wanting to see the bloody scene, suddenly...

He felt a strong sense of crisis!

"what?"

He turned his head and saw a beam of light... coming towards him.

My field of vision was filled with bright light, as if I had suddenly entered a world of light.

boom--!!

With a loud bang, he felt a sharp pain in his body, as if thousands of needles were piercing his nerves. Then he saw the following appear in his skill bar: Pain Relief, Super Regeneration, Accelerated Regeneration.

The surrounding nobles were dumbfounded.

What did they just see?

Just as the hero was about to crush the little ant, a sword suddenly appeared in the ant's hand.

As soon as the sword appeared, it unleashed tremendous power, its blade transforming into a blazing beam of light that stretched for hundreds of meters.

The immense magical power caused the air to heat up, the hot air currents rose and expanded, stirring up a storm. The sword blade swung, like a dancing beam of light, and the massive slash destroyed everything in its path, directly striking the hero.

then,

The hero was sent flying by a single blow. The layers of defense covering his body collapsed, and his body was split in two in mid-air, with severed intestines, some flesh resembling lungs and liver, and a large amount of blood scattering out.

However, before this flesh and blood could even hit the ground, it was completely evaporated by the extremely bright light cannon.

The hero did not die. His torn body tissues intertwined in the air and were visibly repaired. When he landed, he had been completely restored.

"H-How is this possible?!"

The people around were stunned.

The situation was completely different from what they had expected; no, it was the complete opposite.

"Lord Brave!" X 5

The five top beauties from the continent of Sera, who were behind the hero, swarmed up to Shimogaki Seiichi.

Chapter 513 The Divine Sword

The massive wave of light that swept across the ground gradually subsided, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at Kouta in horror, or rather, at the holy sword of light in his hand—Excalibur.

The sword was forged with exquisite skill, without a single flaw. The blade emitted a holy light, and the entire sword exuded a sacred aura, making it instantly recognizable as extraordinary.
