Ignoring King Arthur's words, Accelerator stretched his hand out into the void.

He took the silver and red scythe from his inventory and gripped it tightly in his hand.

Nathos, a demonic weapon wielding karmic fire and spiritual power.

The Grim Reaper, wielding a scythe, plunged the massive blade into King Arthur's chest, piercing through his hard armor.

As the flames of karma ignited, he stared wide-eyed and swung his entire arm around.

Boom-! ! !

King Arthur's enormous body was instantly flung away by Accelerator using his scythe.

The Fallen King's body crashed into the city wall behind him, causing a tremendous tremor, and his body was covered by mud and rocks.

Buzz! A light flashed from within the pile of stones, and Accelerator knew exactly what this radiance meant.

That was the power of the scabbard.

As long as the sword sheath remains in his hand, King Arthur will never die, and he will rise again no matter how many times.

However, that was a very strange scene.

"Ughh ...

King Arthur, having recovered, was now roaring in agony.

The massive black sword crashed to the ground. He clutched his head, trembling, before finally collapsing there in a convulsion.

Virgil came to his side and removed his demon form.

"That was ruthless. How much force did you have to use to cause him this much pain?"

"It's not that simple."

"what?"

Standing to the side, Virgil couldn't help but feel puzzled, as Accelerator merely stared indifferently at the Fallen King.

He said it casually.

"I simply used the most fundamental psychological methods to destroy this guy."

The reason is simple: it wasn't the result of Accelerator's superpowers.

It is Nathos.

This weapon is not only capable of manipulating karmic fire to attack enemies, nor can it simply be transformed into a scythe to be wielded; it also possesses other powers.

This weapon was created specifically to address Accelerator's shortcomings.

The ability to exert coercive control over the mind.

Although one can accomplish this through their own abilities, it is ultimately just a physical means of reverse manipulation of the brain's bioelectricity.

Nathos, however, with its silver and red scythe, is a weapon that can be directly manipulated from the perspective of the mind.

Accelerator can easily rewrite the deepest part of a person's mind by touching their blade, altering their memories, distorting their spirit, changing their personality, or even turning them into a puppet.

This has absolutely no scientific basis and is equivalent to the power of mystical methods.

Even the fifth-ranked psychokinesis in Academy City cannot compare to this power.

Using the power of this scythe, Accelerator directly destroyed King Arthur's internal mental structure, which simply means that his personality completely collapsed. No, King Arthur now probably doesn't even have a personality anymore.

Then it's just a walking corpse that can still move.

"Gu-ga-ga-"

As expected, after the huge shadow rose again, it let out a low growl like that of a wild animal.

King Arthur's eyes lost their luster, and he didn't even bother to pick up the weapons that had fallen to the ground. He opened his mouth and mumbled something in a language that was not even comprehensible to humans.

Forget about becoming a king, they've already fallen below even the most basic level of human beings.

"Roar! Ro ...

However, even though he had lost his rationality and thought, King Arthur was still a creature who knew how to fight based on instinct.

He pounced on them like a monster, his massive body smashing the spot where Accelerator and the others had been standing to pieces in one fell swoop.

This caused King Arthur's jaw to be smashed as well, but the power of the scabbard restored his body.

"It's not going to be good if this goes on."

Although the opponent has been dealt with, that does not mean the danger is over.

"Although this guy has lost his self-awareness, the sword sheath is still on his body, so even if you kill him several times, you can't stop him!"

Just as Virgil was saying this, the instinctive monster, which had lost its rationality, charged at them once again.

"Oh, it's over here."

But this time, he failed to advance even an inch.

Before that, a figure had already appeared in front of them.

"What…?"

"No need to worry, there's no need to show mercy to something that's already turned into a beast."

A young man appeared before the two of them.

The other party chuckled, holding a sharp longsword, and looked directly at King Arthur who was charging towards him.

Just as he said, he didn't stop, and with one sword pierced through the opponent's heart.

"The so-called immortality is nothing more than the power that can only be exercised by relying on the sword sheath."

"As long as we use the appropriate methods to destroy this thing, he will be unable to continue moving."

puff.

At the same time, he drew a longsword that shone with golden light.

It is the same style as the scabbard, the holy sword.

"Gurgle...Gar..."

"You've had a hard time ruling this place as a hypocritical king. Now you can go back to hell."

The young man simply raised his foot and sent King Arthur flying in one breath.

King Arthur, who had been knocked to the distant city wall, was thus deeply trapped and did not take any further action for a long time.

The power of the scabbard is no longer effective.

He had already faced death.

"…So."

He turned around and looked at the people behind him.

Should I say "Nice to meet you" or "It's been a long time"?

"you…!"

Leaving aside the others for now, Accelerator's eyes widened immediately.

"You're that guy from last time..."

"Hmm, it really is true that you said it's been a long time, Accelerator."

The man who had met Accelerator once before—a being who called himself Witte—appeared before him once more.

Chapter 153 Time to Dismantle the Scrap Metal

"you…"

Accelerator instinctively felt surprised.

Even though he would forget most of the people he met after just one meeting, he could never forget the man in front of him.

Just recently in the last world, this guy withstood countless frontal attacks from Accelerator with his bare body.

That was a monster that was absolutely no less powerful than him, and perhaps even more so.

But he never expected that someone like that would appear here.

"You seem surprised by my appearance, but don't worry, I'm not here to harm you."

Witt brandished the holy sword in his hand, revealing an innocent and harmless expression.

"See? I used this thing to directly break through that so-called immortality. I specifically snatched it for you guys."

"That is the King's Holy Sword!"

After Melina recognized the original form of the sword, Accelerator's gaze towards Witt changed.

"So, you mean..."

"That's right, just as you thought."

As if to express his friendliness, Witte planted the sword in the ground to the side and opened his arms.

He made a gesture as if he were about to embrace everyone.

"I am one of the participants in this team battle, and also a member of the white team just like you."

"It's something as simple and easy to understand as this. Please feel free to offer your guidance!"

What a load of bullshit!

Others may not know, but I know perfectly well just how strong this guy is.

How could a monster so formidable, easily comparable to Accelerator, be one of the participants in this team battle? And a member of their White Team at that?

"Isn't this a good thing? Why are you making such complicated expressions?"

As Witte said, this approach can indeed facilitate many proper arrangements.

"Isn't your team short of key players? Don't be fooled by my recent appearance; I know exactly what's going on with Team White right now. You two are the only ones who can be considered key players, aren't you?"

This made Accelerator even more silent.

Because he had no idea how the other party had obtained this series of intelligence.

"Well, at least one of the problems at hand has been solved."

Waiter turned around and looked behind him. King Arthur's body had vanished into thin air like the other demons, leaving only a familiar-looking object behind.

A scabbard with gold and black stripes.

That thing grants its wielder immortality, and it is also that scabbard that gives the Black Team the ability to summon countless demons.

If we can solve this problem, most other problems will be easily solved.

just.

"It seems we have a rather unfriendly guest here."

Witte said with a smile.

Space began to distort.

"I thought you were just saying it, but I didn't expect it to actually turn out this way."

It was a vortex space like a black hole.

The man who emerged from there was dressed in black, gold, and red clothing.

Like most of the people present, he had heterochromatic hair, red and white, and blood-red eyes.

That was a presence whose mere aura was enough to intimidate everyone present.

"You are…?"

Virgil and Hatsune Miku looked over with extreme vigilance.

However, this level of hostility is far from enough to attract the other party's attention.

He appeared directly beside the scabbard, and as soon as the man's gaze swept over the scabbard, his hand was already raised, and the scabbard flew directly into his hand as if grasped by an invisible hand.

This is merely a recycling operation.

But his main purpose was not just this one thing.

"I see, is that you?"
