Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

It's not like nothing happened.

After flying around the world for more than a week, Gawain encountered a sky fortress that was also flying around the world.

Luo Qixi noticed that Gawain suddenly stopped, and she spoke to confirm as she had done thousands of times before:

"It's a desert warrior town, right?"

Gao Wen said calmly:

"No, it's halftime."

Loki looked in the direction of Gawain's mask with confusion. It was a beautiful building that looked both familiar and unfamiliar. It was suspended above a large mass of white clouds and was flying slowly at an altitude of several thousand meters below their feet.

Most people in the human world have seen this city in the sky at some point, but few have heard of anyone observing it from a level or overhead perspective, let alone being invited into it.

The world doesn't even know if it's vacant.

This is the territory of Pergius, the Armored Dragon King, one of the Three Heroes, a living legend who has patrolled the human world for over four hundred years.

——Sky Fortress Kaios Destroyer

But Lokisi had previously heard a little about the current state of this legend from Gawain. Even her body, protected by the constant temperature of the magic armor, began to sweat slightly. With her understanding of Gawain, she certainly knew what he was planning.

"Wait! You're really holding a grudge!"

Gawain nodded:

"Although logically speaking, if the Armored Dragon King's familiar hadn't wasted my time, I could have saved my parents in time, but I'm not the kind of person who would shift the blame of my mistakes and incompetence onto others."

Luo Qixi is very good at smoothing Gawain's hair:

"Don't be so hard on yourself! Besides, the Armored Dragon King also wanted to resolve the magical disaster back then, right? We're all on the same side, aren't we?"

Gawain said in a submissive tone:

"I know, so I don't intend to kill the Ankylosaur King."

Luo Qixi felt that giving him a little lesson was acceptable, especially since she was there to stop him, right? As for familiars, if they were killed, they could probably be resummoned, right? That wouldn't be a problem.

She praised him generously:

"good."

Gao Wen turned his head and ordered:

"Luo Qixi, wait for me here for a while."

"I'm going to shoot down the sky fortress."

Luo Qixi hugged Gao Wen's waist directly, and said in a frantic tone:

"You're not going to hold back at all! I'm going with you! At most, we're only allowed to teach him a lesson! Besides, it would be very valuable if we could directly win over the Armored Dragon King to help us!"

Gao Wen hesitated for a moment and accepted it:

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

He thought for a moment and continued to command:

"Luo Qixi, you see those blue wings of light surrounding that fortress? That's probably some kind of large-scale defensive barrier mixed with teleportation magic. To prevent them from escaping, I'm going to use a large-scale [Counter Spell] to silence that aerial fortress. I'm sorry to bother you again today."

Luo Qixi said in a doting tone:

"That's all I have a use for it! But wouldn't that affect the Aerial Fortress's ability to fly? Wouldn't dropping something this big cause a disaster?"

Gao Wen was not so sure:

"That thing seems to be flying thanks to the properties of its material. Anyway, don't worry, I can just hold it up if it falls."

"I can't communicate with you people from Vitrum."

"Get ready, Lokisi, I'm going in."

"No dirty jokes...!"

Before Luo Qixi finished speaking, she suddenly found herself floating in a very spacious room. The towering ceiling was supported by pure white pillars. Rows of huge chandeliers emitted brilliant light, and it was magnificent. The only flaw was that there was a huge hole in the middle of the ceiling, through which the blue sky could be seen.

Banners with intricate heraldry designs were hung on the surrounding walls, and below them were the famous products and precious artworks of various countries arranged in an orderly manner. In the middle was a high-quality velvet carpet, at the end of which was a red velvet throne.

A majestic king with silver armor, silver hair and three white eyes was sitting on it, and on his left and right were a woman with a white robe and black wings, a bird-beak mask and a blond man with white clothes and a fox mask. Ten masked guys with different clothes and body shapes had just pushed open the door of the hall.

The same words echoed throughout the majestic space:

"No dirty jokes!"

Gao Wen didn't understand:

"Dirty jokes?"

He was puzzled, then casually grabbed a huge dagger that was stabbing at him. Just as he looked at the enemy who suddenly attacked him, the opponent's figure disappeared in an instant like a mouse meeting a cat, and appeared behind Gawain, as if he had studied the tactics afterwards.

The question is, is it useful?

The answer is: useful.

When Gawain has exhausted all his magic power and is holding Roxy in his arms, the destructive power and speed he can exert are extremely limited. In short, he is restricted by the defense of Roxy, the magic armor.

But does he need to defend?

The answer is: no.

Gawain ignored the speed-of-light flea and casually took off his helmet, letting his cascade of black curls flow down.

Almanfi's hasty strike couldn't even cut off a hair of Gawain!

"what?!"

Almanfi's pupils shrank. He had never expected that the gap between him and the monster in front of him would be so huge. He quickly turned his body into light particles and reassembled on Gawain's side.

Gao Wen turned his head and blew at him seriously.

Just like a human blowing away a small insect, Almanfi's body was instantly hit by a huge pressure and smashed directly into the Roman column behind him.

Gawain looked at the still calmly seated Ankylosaur King and smiled gently:

"Your Majesty, the Armored Dragon King, Gawain Vitrudia, the adopted son of Elinarize Duragangrod, has come to see you."

Almanfi asked very quickly:

"Vitrudia? Are you a demon?"

Gawain tilted his head and helped Lokisi take off his helmet. Lokisi quickly covered her face and tried to get away with it. Gawain continued to explain kindly:

"I'm not a demon, but my companions are."

The ten familiars at the back were still unaware of Gawain's true worth, and Almanfi hadn't had time to expose the fact that Gawain was the powerful enemy he had encountered a few days ago.

Therefore, the tallest of the ten familiars complained loudly:

"Demons are not welcome here!"

Gawain didn't even look back, he just casually threw a punch backwards, and the wind from his punch made half of the palace tremble. The door was instantly smashed shut, and the bodies of the ten familiars were embedded in the platinum-colored door made of special metal, seriously injured and on the verge of death.

In Gawain's opinion, familiars were even lower than non-intelligent creatures. If primitive intelligent creatures were animals or natives in the Vitrum Empire, then familiars, even if they possessed intelligence similar to or even stronger than that of humans, were merely tools, no different from consumables like automatic robots.

Gao Wen continued to speak helplessly:

"King Ankylosaur, could you please quiet down these little puppets of yours? In my culture, being interrupted and questioned by mere tools is quite insulting."

"However, considering that you and your friends have been kind to my adoptive mother, I have decided to forgive the offenses these toys committed a few days ago and today."

"I just happened to meet you, so I came to tell you."

Note: Because Gawain and Lokisi do not possess the Laplace Factor, the Ankylosaur Kings will not ask them whether they have heard of the Human God.

However, asking would not have any impact. Gawain had already decided that he would cooperate even if the other party was an evil god. Moreover, the Ankylosaur King at this time only knew that Laplace would react when he heard the word "human god", and seemed to know that the human god was the mastermind behind certain things.

Chapter 54: Traveling Together (14)

At this moment, the Armored Dragon King, who had been sitting upright, stood up. His tone was calm and majestic:

"My name is Pergius Dora. Lord Gawain, I'd like to ask, are the barriers and magic circles of this aerial fortress temporarily ineffective due to your interference?"

It seems that the Twelve Familiars and the Armored Dragon King gathered here to discuss and deal with this matter.

Gawain nodded:

"I was worried you might be scared away."

At this time, the black-winged, white-robed woman beside the Ankylosaur King couldn't help but whisper:

"Scare them away is too..."

However, the Armored Dragon King raised his hand to stop him, and he didn't finish his words. Perhaps he was worried that this subordinate would also be punished by Gawain? That's right, everything just now was just punishment. Whether it is inferred from facts or considered from the perspective of interests, it would be better to think so.

The Armored Dragon King just sighed:

"Such a large-scale and sophisticated [Ranma] is truly an unimaginable level of skill."

Luo Qixi wanted to explain that it wasn't called a chaotic demon, but Gawain and the Armored Dragon King's train of thought were completely consistent. They didn't seem to care too much about the people outside. Gawain asked directly:

"Do you have any clues about the large-scale magical disaster that occurred in Fitoya Territory a few days ago? Including the whereabouts of those who were evacuated."

Thanks to Gawain's activeness these days, otherwise the Ankylosaur King and his men probably still haven't realized that the magical disaster has also transferred all the creatures within the affected area to all parts of the world. So the Ankylosaur King could only express regretfully:

"I know almost nothing about this, but I'm certain that the incident wasn't intended to summon the demon god Laplace."

Gawain nodded:

"As you may know, I'm currently using my own power to mobilize a worldwide rescue effort. The person I intend to focus on searching for next is the mother of my best friend. Although I forgive you and your men for the offense you've committed against me, all of this started when your men attempted to kill my best friend. Therefore, I hope you can provide assistance in this matter as compensation."

The Armored Dragon King summoned Almanfi to his side and agreed calmly:

"I was also wrong to order Almanfi to kill all suspects indiscriminately, so please state your needs."

Gawain raised two fingers one by one:

"First, I need all the information you have on the ruins and the labyrinth. Second, I need you to send that light-speed flea to assist me in my operations."

There is no need to consider air resistance when turning into light and moving forward. Therefore, even if Gawain can fly at superluminal speed in a vacuum, his speed in the atmospheric environment is far inferior to Almanfi's. He can easily hit Almanfi only by relying on his reaction speed to seize the opponent's offensive gap. Of course, he can also carry out large-scale indiscriminate attacks.

The Armored Dragon King accepted it indifferently:

"Except for some confidential information, it's all right. But may I ask why?"

Gawain revealed all about his dealings with the gods, but he did not mention the whereabouts of his parents.

The Ankylosaur King was a little surprised:

"I haven't heard this name for a long time."

This was also the first time Gawain had encountered someone who knew the name hitogami. Rather, part of his purpose in speaking frankly was to test whether the Armored Dragon King knew anything about human gods:

“Are you familiar with Him?”

"No, I only know that Laplace goes crazy when he hears the name of the human god."

Perhaps because he felt that it was inappropriate to say such unfounded words, the Armored Dragon King hesitated for a moment before adding:

"The human god might not be a good character."

Gao Wen said casually:

"I don't care about that kind of thing."

The Armored Dragon King nodded in approval, just as he hadn't cared at all about the message King Asura had sent through the secret treasure a few days ago requesting assistance. His only concern was whether he could truly kill Laplace this time. Whether this man before him, who had defeated the current Water God head-on, coerced the nations of the world into obeying his commands, and who was revered by the Asura upper echelons as a "Demon God," would become the next Laplace, was completely irrelevant.

Rather, if Gawain was truly that powerful, he would only be happy at the possibility of gaining a powerful ally against Laplace.

The Armored Dragon King laughed loudly:

"Let me help you, sir!"

After a brief conversation between the two, the atmosphere became harmonious, and the Ankylosaur King made the final decision:

"I'll have Almanfi deliver the compiled information to New Roa's headquarters. Also, this is a tool that can summon Almanfi. Use him as you please."

Gawain helped Lokisi put on her helmet and nodded casually to the Ankylosaur King:

"Let's talk after this is over."
