I Am a Heroic Spirit

Although it didn't sound like a very reliable reason, Rukia Kuchiki had already accepted it as the fact.

That morning, Zhang Luo went to a wealthy man's house in the next city to perform a ritual of salvation. He pretended to be busy for more than half an hour, and then ate some snacks. Then Zhang Luo walked out of the villa where there were actually no ghosts, holding a check for two million yen.

“Ooo ...

At this moment, a shrill alarm sounded from somewhere. Listening carefully, I found that the alarm was coming from all directions.

"What happened?" Zhang Luo looked around in confusion, and saw that after hearing the alarm, passers-by looked terrified and then ran away quickly.

"Could it be? Master Qin Luo, please come in and take shelter. Something big has happened!" Mr. Fujii, who had a guilty conscience and asked Zhang Luo to come and liberate the wronged souls in the villa, changed his expression and suggested to Zhang Luo.

"What's going on? What happened here?" Zhang Luo did not respond to Mr. Fujii immediately, but asked while looking at the birds flying all over the sky.

"—This is not a drill. This is not a drill. Due to the observation of a foreshock, we speculate that a space quake may occur. Residents nearby are requested to seek refuge in the nearest shelter as soon as possible. I repeat—"

Before Mr. Fujii could say anything, an amplified voice began to play. It was a speech played through a machine, and to make it easier for everyone to hear, the speaker had deliberately cut long sentences into shorter ones.

"You heard it, it's a spacequake, the same spacequake that caused 150 million casualties." Mr. Fujii said anxiously. Although he had built a small shelter at home, it was too late and he would still be affected.

"Spacequake? What is the name of this city?" Upon hearing the term "spacequake", Zhang Luo immediately asked Mr. Fujii.

"This is Tiangong City, Master Qin Luo." Mr. Fujii had already started sweating.

"Tiangong City? I understand. You can go back now."

Zhang Luo said as he walked towards the two-wheeled armored cavalry, climbed onto the vehicle and started it. Fujii Realism behind him hesitated for two seconds and then immediately rushed into the villa.

After activating the two-wheeled armored cavalry, Zhang Luo tracked the figures that suddenly appeared in the sky, facing the fierce wind, and turned into a silver stream of light and moved forward.

In just half a minute, Zhang Luo arrived at the edge of a ruined street. He collected the two-wheeled cavalry as quickly as possible, then sneaked into a hidden place. When he came out again, he had changed his appearance - Saber Arthur. Speaking of which, Arthur has a very good relationship with the elves, and it is most appropriate to use this form to face the elf girl, although the elves here are not the same as the elves in Great Britain.

At this time, the original street had become a ruin, as if it had been hit by a meteor. The ground was cut into a shallow step. The ground was covered with debris, and the streets were covered with debris. The original street had turned into a ruin, as if it had been hit by a meteor. The ground was cut into a shallow step. The ground was covered with debris, and the streets were covered with debris. The original street had turned into a ruin, as if it had been hit by a meteor. The ground was covered with a shallow step.

Arthur quickly recognized the opposing parties. One side was AST, the anti-elf force, and the other was the elf who still had no name, Yatogami Tohka.

The battle between the two sides can be said to be one-sided. AST's attacks were completely unable to cause any damage to the elves, while the elves' casual attacks would cause great trauma to AST. If the elves had no desire to fight and just waved their weapons perfunctorily, AST would have been completely wiped out by now.

When Arthur appeared, he did not attract the attention of AST. After all, they were all besieging the elves and had no time to care about anything else. The elves slowly turned their heads and faced towards Arthur.

"Hmm...? Good perception." Arthur praised.

The elf must have sensed Arthur's power. The sense of crisis brought by the overwhelming power drove him to ignore AST's attack. He grasped the sword slowly and lightly, raised it above his head, drew a trajectory shining with hazy light, and slashed towards Arthur.

Arthur also swung the holy sword in response, easily breaking the elf's sword energy and making a thunderous sound.

"Are those over there reinforcements?"

"Great! That reinforcement seems very powerful. I guess we can kill the elf this time."

Following the elves' actions, the ASTs also noticed Arthur's appearance.

The elves also heard the conversation between the ASTs, and a tearful expression appeared on their faces.

The next moment, the elf appeared in front of Arthur at a speed that the ASTs could not catch.

Only then did Arthur see the elf's appearance clearly.

The man looked about Zhang Luo's age, perhaps even a little older. His black hair reached almost to his knees, and his features were both endearingly innocent and majestic. In the center of his face sat a pair of eyes that shone with an incredible light, like crystals illuminated from various angles by various lights. His attire was also quite peculiar. It was a princess-like dress, made of a material that was either fabric or metal.

As for the seams, lining, and hem of the dress, they are made of an incredible, non-material light film.

In her hand she held a huge sword that was almost as long as her height, the tip of the sword pointing at Arthur.

“—You too…?”

"...?"

"You're here to kill me too."

The first sentence was a question, and the second was in an affirmative tone. The elf, whose face was both tired and sad, did not wait for Arthur's reply, but raised his sword and swung it hard.

Arthur was speechless, but his heart was filled with pity. Had the elves, who were kind by nature, been forced to this extent mentally?

Raising the holy sword in his hand, Arthur simply blocked the elf's heavy attack. After the holy sword and the elf's attack came into contact, the intersection formed by the two sides emitted a powerful shock wave.

“Wait…! Ugh… waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa——!”

The ASTs, who were chasing after the elves with weapons, discovered that they had left the battle circle, were knocked back by the violent shock wave, and the attacks they launched did not cause any damage to the two.

"Wait a minute, I have no hostility towards you." Arthur quickly spoke after blocking the elf's attack.

"I won't believe you, don't try to deceive me." The elf launched another attack, this time the attack was heavier than the last time.

Chapter 153 Knight's Code

Faced with the elves' unleashed might for survival, Arthur unleashed his full might, brandishing his holy sword and engaging the Slayers. Lightning flashed across the land, the ground shattered, and buildings collapsed. Ravines appeared in the streets as the sword swung, creating a scene so bizarre it could only be found in myth. From afar, the ASTs watched the battle unfold, their faces filled with shock and envy. Though they were facing off against an elven army, they had always been suppressed by the elves and had never witnessed anything like this.

Three minutes later, Arthur's holy sword pressed on the elf's shoulder. The heavy force made the elf kneel on one knee, unable to get up. The sharp sword blade was less than one centimeter away from the elf's neck. The elf, who was in danger of death at any time, did not dare to move.

The battle was over in just a few minutes. This was not surprising. Although the elves were powerful, their combat experience was not that good, far inferior to Zhang Luo.

The elves, who have never encountered an opponent, rely entirely on their physical fitness comparable to that of Heroic Spirits to fight, so that the elves' battles can only have two outcomes. One is a crushing outcome, which is a battle with a weakling who is not even as good as a third-rate Heroic Spirit.

One is a decisive defeat, which is a battle with an enemy of the same level or even stronger, or weaker. The opponent's rich combat experience will prevent the elf from even having time to use the last sword.

The battle with Arthur is the second type.

"Now...are you going to kill me?"

Kneeling on one knee in front of Arthur, the elf's words revealed despair, and a look of relief could be seen on his face.

"I never intended to do that." Arthur put away the holy sword and said gently.

"No, you don't plan to kill me?" Seeing Arthur retract his weapon and it seemed that he really had no intention of killing him, the elf was stunned and asked in disbelief.

"Of course, you know? This sword of mine was made by an elf and given to me. If you want to unleash the sword's strongest power, you must meet several conditions. One of them is not to fight with the elves, although the elf who made this sword may be different from you." Arthur raised the Sword of Promised Victory and said to the elf.

"Really? You really won't kill me?"

The hero, like a knight on a white horse, with his sincere tone and overwhelming strength, won the elf's trust to a certain extent. The elf's vigilance and despair slowly disappeared, replaced by a look of hope.

"Yes, I won't hurt you. I'll lend you a hand if you want."

Arthur said sincerely, holding out his hand to the elf.

"Sir, what are you doing? Why don't you kill her?"

At this moment, an AST rushed over from a distance, looking at the elf with resentment on his face.

The elf's vigilance reappeared with the arrival of the girl. The hand that had been loosened and was about to reach out to Arthur suddenly retracted and tightly grasped the hilt of the sword.

"Origami! Don't be impulsive!"

Immediately afterwards, another AST ran after the previous AST, with a panicked look on his face, trying to stop her impulsive behavior.

These two people are none other than Origami Tobiichi and her boss, Ryoko Kusakabe.

"Sir Knight, please forgive Origami's disrespect." After Kusakabe Ryoko caught up, she grabbed Origami Tobiichi and pushed her behind her, then bowed to Arthur to apologize.

"No need to be so polite, I don't mean to blame her." Arthur's outstretched hand changed direction inconspicuously and helped Kusakabe Ryoko up.

"Thank you very much." Seeing that Arthur had no intention of blaming Tobiichi Origami, Kusakabe Ryoko finally let go of the worry in her heart.

"Although it may be a bit presumptuous, please be sure to kill this elf." As soon as Kusakabe Ryoko finished speaking, Tobiichi Origami spoke, her fierce eyes fixed on the elf like nails.

"Don't say things like that. I will never agree to it." Arthur refused sternly.

"Why? Elves shouldn't be alive at all." Tobiichi Origami asked loudly.

".

. "

Looking at Tobiichi Origami's unwilling and resentful gaze, Arthur spoke, his deep, rich, and magnetic voice echoing in the ruins.

In the aerial battleship Fraxinus.

"How's it going? Have you found out the origins of that man?"

The girl, wearing a shirt and a crimson military uniform draped over her shoulders, asked as she walked onto the bridge.

"commander!"

The man standing by the captain's seat saluted the girl, his beautiful posture just like the one in the military textbook.

The girl addressed as the commander glanced at the man and kicked him in the chin with her toes.

"Oh!"

The man groaned, unable to tell whether it was pain or pleasure.

"Don't waste time greeting each other, just explain the results of the investigation!"

The girl sat down in the captain's seat while talking to the man. At this moment, the man's face showed an expression that was more intoxicated than painful.

The man immediately resumed his stiff posture.

"Yes! The man's identity has been investigated. According to reliable information, the man's name is Arthur Pendragon. He first appeared during the Digimon invasion a month ago. His identity is King Arthur of Great Britain in another world."

"King Arthur? Heroic spirit?"

The young commander made a surprised sound.

"Yes, it is King Arthur, the King of Great Britain who commands the Knights of the Round Table."

A strange expression appeared on the man's face.

"Come to think of it, isn't this also called a round table meeting?"

The girl commander's expression also became a little strange.

"Exactly. Our core team at Ratatoskr is named after the legend of King Arthur. Do you want to pay a visit to that King Arthur?"

"No, forget it. I don't think our round table meeting can be compared with King Arthur's round table. It's completely different in style." The young girl commander complained and rejected the man's proposal.

As soon as the young commander finished speaking, she heard English voice coming from the screen.

"Hmm? What's he talking about?"

The girl commander asked.

The man translated: "Never threaten a lady, always give her aid, never be cruel, and grant mercy to those who surrender. This is the third of the chivalric rules established by King Arthur for his knights. King Arthur is also known as the King of Knights."

"The last sentence is nonsense."

The young commander raised her foot and used the heel of her boot to stomp hard on the man's foot.

"Goo!"

Ignoring the extremely happy expression on the man's face, the young commander sighed softly.

"So, King Arthur is saying that he will abide by the chivalric code he established and won't allow women, as descended elves, to be persecuted by the AST? Should I say, worthy of being King Arthur?"

The man said, "Isn't this great? Talking with the elves and resolving the disaster caused by the spacequake peacefully—isn't that exactly our goal?"

"That's true, Kamiyazuki."

The young commander's face showed a look of frustration, her plan shattered. She leaned slightly against the armrest of her chair, gently raised her right hand, and held up her index and middle fingers, as if asking for a cigarette.

"Yes!"

The man swiftly reached into his pocket and pulled out a small candy stick. With quick yet careful movements, he peeled back the wrapper. Then, kneeling beside the young commander, he said, "Please," and placed the stick between her fingers. The young commander immediately took the candy into her mouth. The stick tumbled with the force of her sucking, and the gloom of her shattered plans gradually faded. While her primary goal was to save the elves, she also had some thoughts about benefiting her brother. However, she wasn't immune to jealousy. If the elves could be saved in another way, that would be wonderful, too. If King Arthur truly had the power to save the elves.

Chapter 154 Cat

"But she's an elf! An elf that killed countless people! One hundred and fifty million people were killed by a spacequake caused by an elf. Just because of your ridiculous chivalric code, you're going to let this murderer go?"

Tobiichi Origami was stunned, and it took her a while to realize what Arthur meant. She immediately became furious and yelled at Arthur.

Kusakabe Ryoko's face suddenly changed. After all, she was a captain, and a captain of the special forces. Naturally, she knew Arthur's true identity, and she also knew what the ridiculous chivalric code mentioned by Origami Tobiichi meant to Arthur.

However, Arthur did not make a scene, although his face darkened and one could tell at a glance that his mood was starting to deteriorate.

"Soldier, perhaps the chivalric code is ridiculous to you, but to me, to a knight, it is a belief that I must uphold throughout my life."

The serious tone made the originally self-righteous Tobiichi Origami take a step back guiltily. Under Arthur's gaze, she couldn't even raise her head.

"You're not a knight, so I won't use the chivalric code to convince you. I just want to ask you, you said the elf was a murderer who harmed 150 million humans. So, was she really the elf that caused the space quake?"

"...No, it's not her." After hesitating for ten seconds, Tobiichi Origami said unwillingly.

"So, has she ever done anything to hurt humans on her own initiative?" Arthur continued to ask forcefully.

"No, no." Tobiichi Origami lowered her head, clenched her fists, and reluctantly told the truth.

"So, since she didn't cause 167 million casualties and never actively harmed humans, what qualifications do you have to sentence her to death?" Arthur raised his voice and said sternly to Yuan Yi Origami.

Tobiichi Origami was speechless and couldn't say anything. After all, Arthur had explained everything clearly. No matter according to reason or law, the elves were not guilty of crimes punishable by death. At most, it was smuggling, but smuggling was not a serious crime.
