Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

"Alice, are you okay?"

"I won't hesitate."

"Okay, then I'll take care of Obel, and Isaruti will be in your hands."

After dealing with the two powerful enemies, the last one left is the Northern King Wei Ta.

Although he is the Northern King who uses the Qiba Sect, his strength should not be underestimated.

Especially that weird tactical style.

I'm afraid we need to be careful.

So I turned and looked at Luke.

"Senior Luke, I'll leave the final enemy to you. Even if he's the Northern King, you should be able to easily defeat him with your strength, right?"

Human-God Chapter: 148, Confrontation

Ariel and Sylphy still need time.

Crossing the border from here would take nearly ten days, even if one took the fastest route and traveled non-stop. However, as long as one was far enough away from the capital, the pursuing troops from the capital would not be able to catch up.

So the pursuers attacking now are basically the last wave.

Stop all the pursuers right here.

Is the final victory.

……

……

"It's really a moving sight to see such a figure."

The sound of horse hooves came from far away and finally stopped in front of us. Three figures jumped off their horses.

Looking at the figure blocking his way, Ober couldn't help but raise his brows.

Then he sighed helplessly.

"Such is the fate of mercenaries... Even if you were once taught by someone, once your positions diverge, it will turn into an unbearable fight between acquaintances. I hate it, but since I decided to take this path from the beginning, it's unreasonable to regret it now."

"Anyway, let me ask you this... Can you please make way, Alice?"

"No."

Alice crossed her arms over her chest, staring at the three figures in front of her without any change in expression.

Oberle once taught her the swordsmanship of the Northern God Style.

Although there is no formal apprenticeship, it is not an exaggeration to call him teacher.

However, the relationship between teachers and students cannot make up for the current situation at all.

The battle that is going to happen will not change.

In response to Alice's answer, Ober just smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying anything more.

Probably not beyond his expectations.

Then, his eyes fell on me.

After looking me up and down, he couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression.

"Are you Ron?"

"Long time no see, Senior Ober."

I said indifferently.

He and I once met in the Holy Land of Sword.

At that time, Ober came to the Holy Land of Swords in order to guide Alice, and he did help Alice make great progress.

The so-called Hokushin-ryu.

In fact, from the very beginning it was just a concept, not a fixed swordsmanship school. It did not have the multiple mysteries of the Water God School, nor the ultimate move of the Sword God School. It was just moves that were adjusted according to personal characteristics and could cope with any situation.

So everyone’s Beishenliu is different.

Among the myriad of strange Northern God schools, Ober, who learned from Northern God II, stands out from the crowd.

He relied on his own efforts to make up for his shortcomings, and then developed a unique style, which was called the "Qi Ba School" by the world and became widely spread in just over ten years.

Ober looked me up and down and said with emotion:

"Back then, Gar said your talent was at best at the level of a Sword King. It seems he was wrong sometimes."

I shook my head.

"No, that's the truth."

My swordsmanship is only at the Sword King level at best... Although this is considered quite excellent, it is still far from a true genius.

Even now, I don't think my swordsmanship is better than Alice's.

It's just that after obtaining this body, I became stronger.

To put it in an analogy, it is equivalent to an increase in the value of the basic panel.

Even if the swordsmanship does not improve further, as long as the basic stats have an overwhelming advantage, you can still gain strength that surpasses the past.

I looked at Izuruti next to Ober.

After not seeing her for several years, Isaruti has shed her youthful immaturity. She is now a true Water King... No, to be more precise, she is a Water King who has not yet achieved the title of Water Emperor.

Although still young.

But her strength is probably not inferior to Obel's...

"Long time no see, Isaruti."

I said softly.

"Eh?"

Isaruti was stunned for a moment.

She looked at me carefully, with a look of considerable confusion.

"Have we met before?"

"what……"

Hearing this answer, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Have you seen it before?

Of course I have.

When I first came to this world, it was from you that I realized that I had to be strong in this world. If I didn't become strong, I wouldn't be able to protect what I wanted to protect...

That's why I am standing here now.

However, that aspect that impressed me was forgotten by Izuruti in the blink of an eye. It was just a chance encounter that was no different from any other.

However, this is fine.

In this way, there will be nothing to worry about in the next battle.

"Sorry, please pretend I never said that."

I smiled and shook my head.

After listening to what I said, Izuruti didn't feel too troubled.

Her eyes remained fixed on Alice.

There was a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

"Alice..."

"Long time no see, Isaruti."

"Why would you draw your sword for someone like that, Alice? The Second Princess is a traitor trying to cause unrest in the capital, and at this point, the Second Princess's faction has no chance of victory. Why are you..."

"I don't care about the Second Princess faction."

Ellie said without wavering.

"I just think Ron is right about this matter. Since I want to protect Rudeus, I will also protect his family and everything around him."

"Even if Rudeus hasn't accepted me yet, I chose Rudeus from the very beginning, so there's nothing to say. Draw your sword, Izuruti."

As Alice spoke, she slowly drew the Fengya Dragon Sword from her waist.

Then he took an attacking stance towards Izuru.

Even if her opponent is Isaruti, she doesn't think she will lose.

I also slowly drew out the dragon-slaying sword from behind me.

I have to give my all against Ober, but even then I'm not sure of winning.

After all, the other party is from the Qiba faction.

This is not an opponent that can be measured by common sense.

The two sides were in a serious standoff.

But at this moment, the Northern King Wei Ta, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:

"That person over there, is that Lord Luke Notos Greyrat?"

"Ok?"

Luke was stunned when he heard this.

After confirming the identity, Wei Ta continued:

"I am the Northern King employed by the Notos family. Before I left, Lord Piremon instructed me that if I ever encounter Lord Luke, I should find a way to bring him back."

"W-what did you say..."

"Lord Piremon also said that he has reached a consensus with the First Prince's faction. As long as you give up following the Second Princess and join the good, they can put aside the past and pretend that nothing happened."

Vi Ta said this and shrugged.

"That's it, Sir Luke. Would you consider changing your stance?"

"I refuse! How dare you speak such outrageous words? What do you take my loyalty to Lady Ariel for?!"

Luke roared in rage and drew his sword at Vi Ta.

"I, Luke Notos Greyrat, am risking my life. Duel!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience fell silent.

I couldn't help but applaud.

He is worthy of being the strongest intermediate swordsman of the Sword God School in the Asura Kingdom.

Such courage is worthy of a hero!

The Northern King is just a mere figure and can be destroyed in a snap of a finger!

"It seems there is nothing more to say."

Ober shrugged, looking behind me and raising his brows in surprise.

Just as he pretended to look away, his hand, hidden beneath his cloak, suddenly trembled, and with a barely perceptible movement, he flung several black balls onto the ground. The moment the balls impacted the ground, they exploded with a bang, sending up a large amount of white smoke.

This is the signal to start war.

"Alice, do it!"

"Kill them!"

White smoke filled the air, covering everything within sight.
