The Warrior of Love

"This buried the fate between me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In addition, I have been injecting excess magical power into it from time to time over the past thousand years... Although I am a little reluctant, it seems that now is the time for it to come into play!

After handing the necklace to Jiang Liu, Princess Liulitong breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart.

"Then, what I can do for you in the end is no different from what an ordinary person can do - I wish you good luck in martial arts, Your Excellency Yuanshan Jiangliu!"

"Well, thank you very much."

Jiang Liu was stunned for a moment, then put the necklace away.

"I'll try my best... it seems weird to say that."

After thinking for a while, the man smiled with relief and said cheerfully: "Goodbye, Your Highness."

-

Although he did not understand the teleportation technique of the underworld, Jiang Liu had already experienced a transfer from reality to the underworld once. With his ability, it was not difficult to break through the spatial barrier and transfer his body directly. It might be a little rough, but it was quite simple and direct.

hum!

The people who stayed on Mount Fuji only saw the space distorted, and then Jiang Liu with tattered clothes appeared out of it and waved to everyone.

"Well……"

Seeing Jiang Liu's appearance, thinking back to the sword Ama Murasaki disappearing from her hand before, and the feeling that it no longer existed, Kiyokuni Hina took a deep breath and seemed very shocked, but after the shock she became sad.

"King Jiang Liu... so, the old man?"

Jiang Liu silently took out the two magic swords "Ame no Murakumo" and "Ame no Yuzan" from the dark void.

"They're all mine now."

"Congratulations……"

Ena suppressed her emotions and bowed her head respectfully.

Although this sword-wielding maiden Hime has a pure heart, she is just a girl after all. She has a delicate and sensitive mind, but she usually looks carefree and casual, so it is not obvious.

The relationship between Susanoo and her might not be as harmonious as that between a real grandfather and grandson, but as a hermit in the underworld, Susanoo had to rely on the shrine maiden to interfere with the outside world and convey his orders, so Ena had a lot of contact with him.

The fact that Ame-no-Kume was bestowed upon Ena, and that she was even allowed to use the terms "old man" and "grandfather", also proved that Ena was treated specially...

“His exit was very handsome.”

Jiang Liu said, "And they pushed all the responsibility of protecting this land onto me... Hey, I even find it troublesome to manage myself, let alone being the protector of a country..."

Chapter 745: Is it really in heaven?

"Although it's a pity, this is also the old man's own choice. After being tired for a thousand years, he must be satisfied to be able to fight such a powerful opponent like the king in the end."

Qingqiuyuan Hina did not hate Jiang Liu. After all, in this world, the feud between the God Slayer and the God of Disobedience had been played out countless times. The fight between them was natural and no one else was allowed to interfere.

"Mortals" like Ena are not qualified to comment on the war between gods and can only accept this outcome silently.

"The Kusanagi sword is the subordinate god of that sir, or it can be said to be an incarnation of him, a symbol of "conquest" and "royal power". Since you have been recognized by the sword, it proves that the sir has indeed transferred all power to you."

The sword-wielding maiden knelt on the ground and bowed: "From now on, you are the most honorable king of this land, Your Highness Toyama."

"This is troublesome..."

Jiang Liu scratched his head. Becoming the king of a country sounded great, but his desire for power was quite weak. He had no interest in ruling the country, and he did not need to be supported by others.

Now that he was staying in Rome, with the Bronze Black Cross and several magic societies surrounding him, basically all his needs could be met, and there was no need to expand his sphere of influence.

Even if he were to bring the Japanese magic families under his command, it would not bring him any substantial benefits, and it might even cause some trivial matters.

but……

Jiang Liu looked at the two magic swords in his hands, one black and one white, and sighed softly.

After all, I owe Susanoo a favor!

Now the two swords are under Jiang Liu's control and will no longer be affected by Susanoo. However, when the battle is just over, if Susanoo wants to, he can take the two swords away with him.

But instead of taking them away, he took the initiative to cut them off, allowing the two magic swords to become independent from him, so that Jiang Liu could successfully gain control.

If it were Marquis Vauban, he would probably not care about this kind of favor, but Jiang Liu was different.

Since I have taken these two swords, it is equivalent to making a promise to Susanoo...

Protect this land?

Forget it, it’s not a big deal anyway, so it’s okay to agree to it.

"Okay, let's just leave it at that for now. After we deal with the matter of the Last King, we'll notify those magic families and associations."

Yes, it was just a "notification" - those people did not have the qualifications and courage to give suggestions to the God Slayer.

"Do you want to continue the ceremony?"

Ena was surprised: "Now? But Your Highness, you just fought a battle..."

"It's not easy to wake him up. This period of time is enough for me to recuperate."

Jiang Liu took out the necklace that Princess Liulitong had given him and handed it to the blonde witch ancestor.

"Now, pray, Guinevere."

"Hmm...is this one?"

The Goddess Guinevere took the necklace and instinctively triggered her "clairvoyance", with a faint blue light flashing in her eyes.

No one knew what she had seen. After the "vision" ended, she was happy, sad, and a little self-pitying. No matter how complicated her expression was, it could not reflect the struggle in her heart.

"I didn't expect that sir would be reincarnated like me... As expected, the king is sleeping in Japan!"

After understanding the whole process, Guinevere no longer hesitated. She wrapped the necklace around her hand like a rosary, closed her eyes and clasped her hands together. The bright sunlight shone on her fair and clean face, revealing a sense of holiness.

Unlike before when she wanted to delay for a while, she was now anxious because Jiang Liu's battle with Susanoo had consumed a lot of his physical strength. Before he recovered, the sooner the Last King was awakened, the more Jiang Liu's advantage would be weakened.

Naturally, she couldn't hide her little thoughts from others. Athena and Jiang Liu both saw her anxiety, but neither of them cared much and just let her act freely.

Since even these two people didn't say anything, Lily and Kiyoakiin Hina naturally wouldn't interfere.

"Zheng!"

Platinum's divine spear was once again inserted into the ground, and the earth essence accumulated in Mount Fuji continued to surge up. The temperature rose a lot in an instant, and the large area of ​​snow began to slowly melt.

After taking a look at Guinevere who was praying, Jiang Liu closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and began to consciously regulate his body.

Having evolved to the "ultimate" stage, he can control his body to a certain extent even without training or treatment, just by simple meditation.

Before the final battle with the Last King, he naturally had to recover to his best condition.

Athena felt the fluctuation of the magic power in Jiang Liu's body, frowned slightly, and showed a rare hint of hesitation, but after a moment she moved to Jiang Liu's side, and took the initiative to stretch out her right hand and place it on Jiang Liu's forehead.

The pure cursed power in the "Holy Grail" continuously flowed into Jiang Liu's body, instantly lifting people's spirits.

Jiang Liu opened his eyes, and Athena whispered to him: "That man is different from the enemies you have encountered before... It is always a good idea to make more preparations. Concentrate and transform all the magic power that I have given you into your own."

"Oh...thank you..."

Jiang Liu said this lightly. He had no intention of teasing the other person and closed his eyes as she said.

Lily and Ena were watching this scene. The sword-wielding Hime-mikoto was okay as she was just curious, but the silver-haired fairy swordsman had red cheeks and a pouty mouth, looking a little bit upset.

However, she quickly suppressed her emotion and instead focused on protecting Jiang Liu and Athena to prevent any unexpected factors from disturbing them.

"Om-"

An unknown amount of time had passed. As the sun was setting, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the platinum spear, and the magatama necklace in Guinevere's hand also began to flicker.

"This is?!"

Amid the excited and expectant exclamations of the blonde girl, the platinum light flowing on the divine spear suddenly flew out, merging with the light and shadow projected from the magatama, and then transformed into a platinum long sword without substance but clearly visible everywhere, and its shape was exactly the original appearance of the World-Savior Divine Sword.

"Zheng!!"

Like an arrow shot from a bow, the platinum long sword constructed of divine power shot straight into the sky, piercing into the unreachable sky...

"king!"

Guinevere suddenly began to tremble with excitement, not caring at all that Athena's spell was still on her body. She directly cast the witch's flying spell and flew into the sky impatiently to follow the divine sword.

Neither Athena nor Jiang Liu stopped him. In fact, they had just opened their eyes and looked indifferent, as if they had not reacted at all.

"I didn't expect it to be in the sky... No wonder it's so hard to find!"

Jiang Liu looked at the small light in the sky that was almost invisible, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and smile slightly.

"Since this is a battle in the sky, Lily, you shouldn't go. Stay on the ground with Ena."

He glanced at Athena, the goddess of wisdom, who happened to be doing the same thing.

"Go!"

"Um……"

Like a flaming meteor, Jiang Liu and Athena launched a counterattack towards the sky!

Chapter 746: The Awakening Warrior

Far beyond the clouds, even reaching into outer space, in a place called geostationary satellite orbit.

There should be nothing here, only endless emptiness and coldness. Cosmic rays and the harsh environment of near vacuum would prevent the survival of all life. However, it is in this life-forbidden zone that there incredibly exists a small floating island.

An island made purely of stone, without any vegetation or artificial buildings, just barren land.

——As if ignoring the laws of physics, it floated in the satellite orbit without relying on any power.

In the center of this deserted island, there is an iron sword that seems to have existed since time immemorial, deeply inserted into the ground, like an unknown tombstone...

From the appearance, it looks ordinary. Not to mention compared with the famous swords in ancient times, it cannot even be compared with modern industrial products.

To put it bluntly, it's just a piece of scrap metal.

It was about a hundred centimeters long, with a broad and thick blade, and appeared to be a double-edged structure, but it was covered in rust and did not look sharp at all.

However, this ordinary sword represents an immortal myth sleeping here.

- Om!

In a near-vacuum environment, the faint fluctuations of spell power became the medium of sound. A fierce wind sounded, and a petite blonde figure broke through the void at an incredibly fast speed and flew to the island.

"Ah, I finally found you, our king!"

When Guinevere saw the sword, she couldn't help but cry out in excitement, and even her breathing became heavy.

But the blonde girl quickly controlled her emotions. Now the king has not really woken up yet, and the terrible demon king is following closely behind him. Every minute and every second is extremely precious. The brave man must be awakened quickly and restored to his full strength from his fatigue.

Originally, the Holy Grail was supposed to complete the final ritual, but now that she has lost the Holy Grail, she must pay with other things;

"My king, I will dedicate this holy grail filled with the power of the goddess to the steel that cuts through everything. Please wake up from your distant old dream!"

Guinevere held up Princess Liulitong's necklace, a self-deprecating smile on her lips.

How ridiculous... She knew clearly that this feeling would not be reciprocated, yet she still degraded herself and abandoned her noble status as a goddess to reincarnate as a god, and then gave herself this hypocritical name.

It's really ironic that she has to pick up other people's discarded waste even though she has let it go as a real princess.

——But she doesn’t regret it!

It doesn't matter if this feeling is not reciprocated. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never regarded her as a lover or spouse from beginning to end, she is still willing to serve this brave man.

Even if this "love" is fake, it is still a unique and irreplaceable treasure that she has been waiting for for a thousand years!

"Pure White Snake, offer your blood and bones, and cheer for the coming of dawn!"

The seal in the body of the God Ancestor was lifted, and a layer of fine and tight white scales instantly grew on the body of the blonde girl, and her petite body also expanded rapidly, and soon turned into a pure white beast about ten meters long with a human body and a snake tail.

That is the original body of the God Ancestor, hidden in the body of the fallen goddess, a seal that can only be used once!

When the seal is released, the God Ancestor will take back the power that originally belonged to the Goddess and transform into a super beast that can fight against the disobedient gods and godslayers.

But this powerful force is only temporary. Once the seal is broken, the God Ancestor will never be able to turn back and will eventually pay the price with his life...

Transforming into a white snake at this moment is the proof of Guinevere’s determination!

--boom! !

The body of the white snake expanded rapidly and exploded into a bloody rain, dyeing half of the island red. An extremely strong smell of blood enveloped the space.

But with Guinevere's suicide, a huge amount of goddess spirit also spread out, and without dissipating at all, it was all absorbed by the "scrap metal" on the ground.

hum!
