After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

If this guy had used low-level magic like Fireball, Villian's shield would not have lasted this long.

This also served as a reminder to Aize.

Since this guy relies purely on mana to dominate, is it possible to deplete his mana?

On the other side, George finally released the magic power that he had accumulated.

The moment the dark red light faded, Villian and Charlotte were already sweating and panting.

Villian, who already had poor physical condition, turned pale and was so tired that she almost fell to the ground due to exhaustion. Aize hurried forward to support her.

George, who was suspended in the air, remained calm. Although he had launched such an attack, there was no sign of excessive consumption of magic power.

He looked down at his young hands and body, then looked at the miserable Aize and others below, and the expression on his face became more and more arrogant.

"Strong, too strong! I never thought I would be so powerful after ascending to heaven! No matter the leader, the hero, or even the demon king himself, they are no match for me!"

It's unpleasant, but it's the truth.

"In this case, there's no need to limit myself to the kingdom. I might as well expand my power to the entire continent! Haha ...

"It's so noisy, it's so annoying!"

While the buff from bloodsucking had not yet worn off, Charlotte, with an increasingly irritable temper, rushed into the air again, wielding two blood blades and trying to attack the opponent.

"What do you mean by my power? Isn't it just the reckless squandering of the magic power provided by the 100,000 blood slaves in the capital? What's there to be proud of?!"

"Haha, that's why you vampires don't have good brains."

"What did you say!?"

George was too lazy to even defend himself, and let the opponent's bloody blade chop him.

Anyway, even if it is a fatal injury in the conventional sense, it can be healed without leaving any scar in less than a second, without even blinking an eye.

He could also put his hands behind his back and taunt with a smirk:

"Land, financial resources, and manpower—these are the original sources of power for the royal family and the nobility. Now, haven't I just skipped those troublesome steps and taken what belongs to me directly from the people? How can this not be my power?! Rather, this is the ultimate form of aristocracy!"

After saying that, he suddenly raised his hand.

He blocked Charlotte's slashing blow, raised his hand and grabbed her neck. Then, gathering his strength, he pierced her body with a claw.

"Pfft-"

Charlotte immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and tried to break free, but was restrained and unable to move.

But vampires are vampires after all. The girl's figure disappeared almost instantly, turning into a blood-red liquid, flowing and dripping from his clenched fingertips, and then quickly gathered again beside Aize.

I managed to escape.

"Huh, what a hassle."

George twitched the corners of his mouth unhappily, then raised his hand again and gathered his magic power again.

The dark red light enveloped the battlefield again. If the same impact happened again, Villian and Charlotte would not be able to withstand it.

So Aize didn't hesitate, pulled the two people who tried to fight back, turned around and ran into the tunnel.

"Run away, quickly!"

Villian didn't react much and began to retreat obediently.

Instead, Charlotte, who had been possessed by the devil, was struggling desperately and making a lot of noise.

"Let me go, I will drain that bastard dry and crush him into mud—"

I even forgot to change my title. I was really angry.

Fortunately, Alicia, who had stood up and turned back into human form, rushed over, tied up Charlotte with her tentacles and ran away. The four of them were able to get into the tunnel before the attack happened.

"Vir, shut up!"

"OK!"

The witch turned around and shot a beam of light that swept across the walls and ceiling of the tunnel. A huge amount of collapsed rubble immediately collapsed, blocking the entrance.

Finally I can breathe a sigh of relief - damn it.

It's a joke to try to stop such a monster with just this little thing. I better run away quickly.

Alicia, the fastest one, used her tentacles to pick up the other three at the same time and ran along the tunnel at a rather funny but indeed fast speed.

Charlotte is still struggling:

"Let go—in the name of the True Ancestor, I will fight that old bastard to the death, let go—"

"Calm down! We've stalled long enough. If we don't run now, we'll be stuck! And that old bastard, isn't he hundreds of years younger than you? Is it really necessary to be so angry?"

Facing a monster like that, it is simply not feasible to defeat him with the power at hand.

The reason for fighting with him was to buy time for the knights to retreat.

Although there is still a gap from the scheduled time, the enemy's strength is unexpected. We can't stay here any longer and have to leave.

We haven’t delayed enough time. Let’s think of a solution in the tunnel next time.

Of course, Charlotte also cares about another thing:

"...Aize, what did you mean by that just now? I might have misunderstood, so just in case, I'd like to ask you, you're not saying I'm old, are you? You're not calling me an old woman, are you?!"

"When did I ever call you that? Can you please stop imagining things?"

Aize knew that Charlotte was very concerned about the age issue, so he deliberately mocked her in order to divert her anger.

I didn’t expect the effect to be so outstanding.

"That's not important. The question now is..."

boom!!!!

Before he could finish his words, the tunnel entrance blocking his back was blown away by another explosion.

George's figure also appeared there.

"Really? You're trying to escape mid-attack on me! How rude! I haven't even finished testing my power yet."

With a sinister smile, the late king said this.

"Run, run! Where can you go? This is the capital ahead, and that is my territory. Even if you get there, there will be no place for you!"

After saying that, his body floated in the air surrounded by dark red light, and then chased after him like a ghost.

"It's really haunting, Wei'er, can you fight it back?"

"Okay, leave it to me!"

With Alicia as her companion, the witch was able to focus all her attention on controlling her magic power, throwing one spell after another backwards.

However, the results were still minimal.

Throw it at George, it explodes, and then does no harm.

Throwing it against the walls or ceiling of the tunnel, the rocks collapsed, blocking the way, but the moment George approached, they were exploded by the magic power surrounding him.

It basically has no blocking effect, and the distance is shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The short secret passage soon came to an end. This funny scene, like an alternative car chase scene, entered the previous workshop and was considered a new track.

Originally, this would not make any difference.

However, when passing the room where the huge crystal was placed, George suddenly stopped.

Attention shifted to the dozen or so coffins containing former kings placed in that room.

The arrogant expression on his face quickly faded.

Then it turned into doubt.

Then comes anger.

"That bastard Arthur actually dared to do such a thing without telling the king. He deserves death!!!"

Having said that, he didn't bother to chase after Aize and the others. He gathered his magic power and began to destroy the workshop angrily.

The coffins and the reborn corpses inside were turned into ashes one by one.

"As long as I am the only one who can ascend to the next stage and become the King of All Ages, I will be enough! You all, just sleep forever!!!"

He was making a fuss like a naughty child.

Considering that the coffins contained his ancestors, grandfather, and even his father, this process seemed a bit funny.

But no matter what, Aize and others finally managed to keep a safe distance.

He quickly jumped out of the workshop, entered the long tunnel, and ran all the way towards the palace.

Villian and Charlotte were still confused.

The witch finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Aize and asked:

"What happened? What's that guy doing? Why did he suddenly get so angry?"

"The plan was tampered with," Eize explained. "The original plan was to resurrect only the late King George, but Arthur took matters into his own hands and decided to resurrect every king in history."

There is only one country, so there can only be one king.

A being like George, whose desire for power is extremely twisted, would never allow other kings to be resurrected to seize his throne and legitimacy.

But in fact other kings are also being resurrected.

That can only be understood as Arthur's unauthorized action.

It was natural for George to become extremely furious when he saw this situation.

Charlotte frowned in confusion.

"Why would he do this? Isn't this just causing trouble for himself? It's totally unreasonable!"

Charlotte herself was eager to add another shovel of dirt to her brother's grave, fearing that he would come back to cause trouble and take her place.

Arthur's actions are beyond comprehension.

"Why...it doesn't matter now."

Aize already knew why, but it was a long story and had no impact on the current situation, so he decided to leave it for later.

Right now we have to find a way to deal with this monster.

Then he looked at the witch lady beside him:

"Weir, that guy made such a big scene, has the total amount of magic power decreased?"

Miss Witch shook her head helplessly:

"No, absolutely not! Even if the value fluctuates at the moment of consumption, it basically recovers within a few seconds. There's no end in sight!"

"In other words, those blood slaves in the capital are still continuously providing him with magic power?"

"Yes, that should be the case."

In other words, this guy has about 100,000 people constantly charging him.

This is like carrying a fountain on your back while fighting. It's pure shamelessness. If you don't find a way to deal with this problem, it will be impossible to drain his magic power.

what can we do about it?

"Speaking of which..."

"Um?"

Charlotte, having calmed down a bit, asked:

"What about the princess? Are you just going to ignore her?"

Before the battle began, Heidi once again lost consciousness due to excessive mental shock.

In order to prevent her from being buried alive, Hecate kicked her directly to the other side of the tomb. She did not wake up during the entire battle.

It is still kept there now.

In response to this, Aize shook his head:

"In the situation just now, it was impossible to bypass that monster and save her. If we forcibly took her away, we would all die there, and..."

"and?"

"Heidi must stay there. Whether we can win this battle depends entirely on her. Alicia, have you done what I asked you to do?"
