"..."

Accelerator took a sip of coffee and looked towards the edge of the coastline.

Winter seems to grow increasingly strange during the day; in the distance, a straight beam of white light can be seen instantly covering the sea.

--wrong.

It was the sea surface that was transformed into salt.

"what?"

Accelerator's eyes widened; before he even realized it, the surrounding sea had completely turned to salt.

"Hey, what's going on here—"

Before the words were even finished, a new conflict had already begun.

In that instant, Accelerator saw the enormous ice projectile hurtling towards him.

Bang! ! !

The ship named Nathos was thus smashed into the sea by that cannonball.

Chapter 230 Britain, France, and—

The earth was transformed into salt.

The moment these mages landed, an even more unsettling situation arose once again.

The salt earth that had been beneath them shattered, and several caves appeared without warning.

Kanzaki Kaori was the first to react.

She used the hilt of her Seven-Tailed Blade to strike the deck of the ship behind her, using the recoil to free herself.

"Humph."

On the other side, a blonde woman in a red dress chuckled dismissively.

"You think you can stop the power of Britain with such petty tricks?"

In an instant, all the salty land in front and behind was transformed into something as cold as ice.

Kanzaki Kaori belongs to the Anglican Church, and those who have come at this moment are not just Anglican magicians.

Those were British headquarters personnel.

Those were men from both the Puritan and Knight factions.

"The Second Princess".

The speaker was a man with blond hair, dressed in a suit-like outfit.

He was the representative of the chivalric faction and the leader of the Knights Order.

"Our troops have completely entered our territory. Should we choose to engage them directly in battle?"

"I don't want to do small-scale things, so let's go all out."

Princess Kelly, the second princess of the United Kingdom.

In mid-October, she orchestrated a massive coup in Britain, using the powerful national sword within the country to try to break Britain out of Europe and achieve independence.

The method used in Brexit was to slice Britain off the face of the earth with that sword.

Unfortunately, before this method could be implemented, it was directly stopped by someone.

It was used by a spiky-haired man with his right hand.

"Are we ready to begin now?"

"Hmph! Colluding with the Roman Catholic Church and launching such a massive attack in a place like a world war, you Frenchmen deserve this kind of result, don't you?"

"You really dare to say that, you Brit."

pat.

A woman appeared before them.

The woman was dressed in some kind of white, semi-revealing dress and held a long sword that looked like a flame, with an unusual red light shining from the tip of the blade.

"The Virgin of Versailles, held by France...?"

"To be precise, she was a woman who could topple a nation."

The newcomer was a top-tier soldier from France.

Just as Britain has Kanzaki Kaori, one of only twenty saints in the world, and Princess Kelissa, who possesses royal power, France also has a very powerful strategic weapon.

That was the woman standing in front of me.

Countless British magicians rushed to the scene instantly, but—

The stunningly beautiful woman didn't even glance at them.

In a mere instant, imperceptible to the human eye, countless magicians were blown away by the unseen radiance.

Kellysa raised an eyebrow slightly.

However, she was not the one who took action.

"—Reset to zero!"

The man standing next to Kellysa, known as the Knight Commander, shouted loudly at the stunningly beautiful woman.

He possesses a very powerful magical formula.

As long as he utters the word "zero," all power defined as a weapon will be erased by him. As long as the strength and concept can be recognized and understood by him, as long as it still exists in the realm of weapons, even nuclear weapons, he can directly and completely erase its power.

Simply put, even if the United States and Russia launched all their nuclear warheads at the Knight Commander alone, he only needed to say one word to ensure that he would be unharmed.

Now, the sword in the hands of the stunning beauty should have been stripped of all its attack power, and the next attack will be unable to harm anyone.

—That's how it should be.

Boom!

Under the watchful eye of the Knight Commander, the figure swiftly approached him, and he felt an unprecedented pain in his abdomen.

"You've overlooked something."

The stunningly beautiful woman, wielding a longsword, placed the blade directly against the knight commander's abdomen.

"Your zeroing spell can only be used on ordinary weapons; it has no effect on royal weapons."

"And the sword I wield is not a weapon that just anyone can use... This is the sword recorded in the epic, Durandal."

"What did you say?!"

Legend has it that there is an epic story in France.

Charlemagne, one of the kings, once bestowed upon Roland, a knight of great significance, a sword of profound importance.

That's Duranta.

While the Knight Commander's Zeroing Spell is extremely powerful, it is only effective against ordinary weapons and cannot be effectively used against royal weapons.

only.

"Don't forget about the others."

The sensation coming from my hand was not like the blade cutting through flesh.

The beautiful woman frowned; she saw something blocking the knight commander's abdomen.

It is a shiny, light-emitting weapon, like a lightsaber.

Boom! The powerful forces collided.

The stunningly beautiful woman, knocked back by the impact of the sword, retreated onto the ice, while Kellysa, holding the glowing sword, looked at her with a light smile.

"What kind of weapon is that?"

"you guess?"

“…I remember that King Katina II should have been destroyed in the British coup a few days ago, so you shouldn’t be able to possess that sword anymore.”

"So the French are just so slow-witted, can't you try to put yourself in their shoes?"

The beautiful woman's brows furrowed deeper and deeper; she even considered a nearly impossible scenario.

"That's... a fragment of Katina II?!"

"Yes."

Kellysa placed her hand on the tip of the blade, letting it gleam with a brilliant white light.

"Now, Katina II has been split into countless fragments, and anyone of legitimate royal lineage who wields these fragments can gain unprecedented power."

In other words.

That was a powerful weapon that would grant Kelissa the equivalent of a woman of unparalleled beauty.

The two looked at each other, and then both made a move.

Bang——! !

On the ice, two figures passed each other amidst loud popping sounds.

As the two women moved, countless cannonballs were fired from the British ship not far away.

Shells rained down in all directions, some aimed at the French magicians, others at the distant ice, attempting to create a barrier that the French army could not cross.

Anyway, no matter how many shells are fired, no innocent people will be harmed. This is the sea, and no ordinary people will be here.

Clang——! !

Kellysa and the Beauty of the Kingdom.

On one side was a weapon as fast as light, and on the other was a fiery red sword wreathed in lightning.

"Well done. By the way, aren't you planning to use that saint from your England?"

"Huh? You think you need such a powerful weapon to deal with a Frenchman like you?"

The battles continued countless times.

In that instant, two beings whose strength far surpassed that of ordinary mages by countless domains clashed, their swords flashing like lightning, slicing through the surrounding ice and air.

The two men clashed their weapons together, causing sparks to fly.

No one dared to step into such a battlefield.

Aside from the saint brought by the Anglican Church, probably no one could stop these two from continuing their fight.

"Haaah—!!"

"Drink——!!"

As the stunningly beautiful woman cried out, the two raised their swords, and the supersonic battle that broke the sound barrier resumed.

No one could get involved.

—That's how it should have been.

boom----! ! !

It was a beam of light and shadow falling like lightning.

"Varied?"

This was a moment of astonishment shared by both the stunning beauty and Kelissa.

All they saw was a shadow, carried by a tornado, falling rapidly from the sky and crashing mercilessly right between the two of them.

then.

—The fragments of Katina II and the Duranda were thus held tightly in someone's hands.

That's not a saint from the English Puritan Church.

If that's the case, then who exactly accomplished all of this?

"I said so."

A deep sound came from the smoke and dust.

Only at this moment did the two princesses, who were of royal rank, finally see the true face of the newcomer.
