He gripped the scabbard tightly in his hand.

"Without this, your precious Asmodeus would have been killed. That guy is very strong; he would have a good chance of winning against any of us here in a one-on-one fight."

"Thanks a lot."

"...Are you listening to me?"

Idris shook his head and tossed the scabbard in his hand over.

However, before the man could reach out to take it, the scabbard was already grasped by an unseen force and floated beside him.

He slowly turned around.

"So, what information do you have about that person?"

"White hair, red eyes, and another person with him. If I'm not mistaken, they are probably friends. Both of them should be quite strong, especially the one with white hair."

What are the chances that they are on the white team?

“It’s huge. In my opinion, our team is already at full capacity.”

The man standing in front didn't say anything more.

He reached out, and the scabbard returned to his hand.

"White shadow".

"What are you doing?"

The young man, who had been sitting in the chair playing on his phone the whole time, looked up.

Are you planning to let me hang out with the new guy?

"If possible, I hope you can win him over to our side."

“I don’t think the guy who gave Idris a hard time the moment they met is someone to be trifled with. We could very well end up fighting.”

"Is that so? Then let's do it that way."

He casually sat down on the throne behind him.

He said it in a very calm tone.

"Use it if you can."

"If you can't use him, just kill him."

The words were chilling, but for him, they were just things he could say casually.

The entire hall was instantly filled with a cold atmosphere.

But the rest of the people were basically unaffected.

"Although I've gotten somewhat used to your style, this unique way of doing things is really ruthless."

Bai Ying's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but say something.

"I must say, he truly lives up to his reputation as a demon god."

Demon.

That's what this man is called.

He never said his own name; he only said that his identity was that of a demon god.

It does not refer to a demon god who has reached the pinnacle of magic, but rather to the god of the demon realm.

Everyone present knew exactly what made this man so terrifying.

That is enough reason to be called a demon god.

Let's do it this way for now.

The demon pointed to the edge of the throne and glanced at a ring on his hand.

The ring flashed with a light, and he seemed to understand something.

"There will be more to come, but before that, there are still many things that need to be addressed."

"But for me, if something can't be enjoyed to the fullest, I'll kill them all without hesitation."

———————————————————————————————————————————

A tremendous commotion came from the sky.

On a distant cliff, someone witnessed all of this.

He stared intently at the strange sight of two figures appearing in the sky.

But he wasn't surprised at all.

"I see."

It was a man wearing tattered robes.

At least you could tell from his voice; his robes were worn and yellowed.

Even so, he still remained hidden beneath his robes, holding an extremely long knife in his hand.

A samurai sword.

"Is this what they mean by teaming up?"

He stood quietly in front of the cliff.

Then, a noise came from nearby.

boom--! ! !

Countless demons attacked.

The man stood there unguarded, facing the demons behind him, who showed no mercy and pounced on him without hesitation.

That happened in just a moment.

The demon landed where the man had been standing, but couldn't grab his body at all.

Click.

That was the sound of swords being sheathed.

In less than a second, the black blood swept across everything around it.

Sheathing his katana, the man glanced casually at the pile of demon corpses behind him, then turned away without looking back.

He determined a direction and slowly walked towards it.

This is a world that can only be successfully navigated by forming a proper team.

Chapter 140 The World Ruled by King Arthur?

The three of them sat together in the car.

If you drive along the road inwards, you'll reach a forest. That's the place Melina asked you to go.

It was getting dark; it was probably almost evening.

Accelerator and Hatsune Miku sat in the two front seats together, while Melina sat directly in the back seat.

“So magical…”

Naturally, Melina, born in this medieval era, could not have witnessed the pinnacle of modern technology, namely, the so-called sports car.

"This is the first time I've ever seen such an amazing mode of transportation! Is it... is it a moving iron horse?"

"Don't let your imagination run wild and conjure up those fairytale-like ghost stories."

Accelerator skillfully maneuvered the steering wheel, and through the rearview mirror above the center, he could see the utterly astonished look on Melina's face.

He couldn't help but purse his lips.

So, what exactly is the situation?

Melina had already told them that this was the world of King Arthur.

Both Hatsune Miku and Accelerator are well aware of these things.

King Arthur is a captivating story in any world, almost a household name.

But they never imagined they would end up in the world of King Arthur.

"What were those monsters that attacked you? What is the relationship between King Arthur and those monsters? Why are you, a court magician, being hunted down by Arthur, who should be the king?"

Faced with the question of who could pass first, Melina lowered her head slightly.

"...That happened not long ago."

Her tone was low, and it was clear she didn't have a good impression of the situation.

"This world was originally a world close to a beautiful utopia, where people could live harmonious and happy lives every day, and excellent knights would follow that king. Then, the king would protect everyone and let the beautiful world continue."

"Until that day, the king... received the sword from the fairy in the lake. It was the holy sword, and its scabbard."

"The power of the Holy Sword can make the King invincible, and the power of the scabbard can ensure that the King will never bleed, remaining in a state of immortality, but... he has changed."

"Because of his obsession with the immortality that the scabbard could provide, the king was completely plunged into darkness by the power of the scabbard."

Therefore, the outcome is not hard to guess.

"Those monsters, weren't they all summoned by that guy called King Arthur?"

"To be precise, it was King Arthur after his fall from grace. He used the immortal power of his sword sheath to connect with the demon realm, and from there summoned demons that also represented his fall..."

It is precisely because of his fall that he was able to wield even greater power. This is King Arthur, a king who has become completely obsessed with the immortal power of the sword sheath.

Ultimately, the so-called King Arthur of today can no longer be considered a king; at best, he is merely a puppet belonging to a sword sheath.

…Come to think of it, the guy from earlier seemed to be the same way.

Accelerator suddenly recalled that the man on the robot from before also seemed to be holding a sword sheath.

I wonder if that's King Arthur's sword sheath. If so, why would it be in the hands of that kind of guy? Or is he the real King Arthur?

He had never seen King Arthur flying in in a super robot and strapping enemies with missiles.

"What you want us to do is defeat King Arthur?"

"...Defeating them is actually impossible."

"what?"

Accelerator frowned again.

Melina placed her wand on a chair and continued.

"The power of the scabbard can be used not only on the king, but also on others."

"You should have already defeated that giant monster that suddenly appeared just now, right? Even so, it was able to move again because of the power of that sword sheath."

"Does that mean you can get back up no matter how many times you're knocked down... Ugh, that sounds pretty annoying."

"Then, how exactly can we break free from the power of this scabbard?"

Melina nodded in response to Hatsune Miku and Accelerator's questions.

"It's not that there's no way, it's just that it's very dangerous, and I simply can't do it by myself."

"Is that why you're considering summoning us?"

"Yes... if they were two adults from another world, they could definitely do it, right?"

These are words that only someone who has witnessed Accelerator's inhuman strength could utter.

He could kill tens of thousands of demons in one go. If it were him, he could definitely do such a thing.

The girl adopted a serious expression and leaned slightly closer.

"Hello…!"

"I beg you two gentlemen, please help me... I want to reclaim my former kingdom, and I can no longer allow King Arthur to wreak havoc on the world!"

If King Arthur continues to be obsessed with the power of the sword sheath and launches even greater attacks on the world, then the end of the world may come very soon.

Just as Melina said, she couldn't accomplish anything on her own.

Accelerator clicked his tongue in annoyance.

…This is something that shouldn't be done by me at all.
